Chapter 129: Alien Center, Returning Favors

After confirming that the two men were not in danger, Logan called Marcos and others to come.

After a while, the three Hans brothers rushed into the room first.

"Father."

Hans was excited to see Hank was safe and sound. He rushed to Hank and checked his body up and down, "How are you? Are you not injured?"

Since Hank was arrested, the three brothers were extremely worried about their father's condition. Now that they saw that Hank was fine, they finally let go of their worries.

"It's okay."

Hank waved his hand and said with a smile: "I should have called you to report my safety. I forgot for a moment."

While he was talking, Colin and Maile also found the two men sitting on the bed. Their eyes suddenly flashed with murderous light, "Why did you kidnap our father!"

Hearing the roars of the two brothers, Hank hurriedly stood up and blocked them, "Don't be impulsive, you all misunderstood, this is not kidnapping!"

This made the three Hans brothers stunned for a while, and Lorna and Marcos who followed behind were also puzzled. They looked at each other and couldn't understand the situation in front of them.

Just now, Logan just called them to come over, and did not explain the situation to them in detail.

Hank smiled and shook his head, explaining: "You are all wrong, it's just a misunderstanding."

He pointed at the white-bearded man, "This is Oyed, he brought me here to study the genetic problems of the X gene, and he didn't mean to hurt me."

After a pause, Hank added: "They have an Inhuman Center that specifically accommodates mutants. They asked me to come here in the hope that I can cooperate with their center to study these problems, because I was also an expert in this area before. Don't worry, they have no ill intentions."

After listening to Hank's words, Oyed, who was sitting on the bed, also reacted. These people were Hank's friends and sons, and they found this place by chasing Hank.

Knowing this, Oyed stood up and took the initiative to apologize to Logan, "Sorry, we were impulsive just now."

In any case, his companions just shot Logan.

Fortunately, Logan has a self-healing factor, and the threat of guns to him is minimal. If it were an ordinary person, he might have died...

Logan shook his head, "In that situation, anyone would be impulsive."

They are all mutants, and they have many enemies, such as the patrol team and the guys in various biological laboratories, which will pose a threat to them.

And in this situation, a stranger suddenly broke into the house, and wanted to attack their partners. Anyone would be nervous.

"It's also because we didn't understand the situation."

Hans was relieved after hearing his father's words, and then complained: "But, next time if you invite people again, you don't have to be so extreme. In that situation, everyone will judge it as kidnapping."

Originally, the three brothers and their father were fine in the wooden house, but the door was suddenly kicked open, and they wanted to kidnap their father without any explanation.

Whoever saw that behavior would think it was a kidnapping case.

Oyed smiled awkwardly, "It's mainly because we are worried that Mr. Hank will refuse, so we thought of taking him to the destination first. After all, that research is related to the future of mutants, and Mr. Hank's participation is urgently needed. We have no choice but to resort to this last resort."

In their opinion, Hank is old and has his own habitat to enjoy his old age. He should not travel far with them. Instead of wasting words, it is better to take him away directly.

This is the kidnapping case mentioned by Hans.

But what they didn't expect was that after informing Hank of the situation on the road, Hank was very interested in the project and even a little impatient.

It was because he was so focused on the research that he forgot to call Hans and others to report his safety, which led to such a misunderstanding.

"Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, let's not stay in this room. There is tea downstairs. Let's go downstairs and have a cup of tea first."

Hank urged everyone to go downstairs, and at the same time looked at Logan, his face full of uncontrollable excitement, "Logan, we haven't seen each other for many years, we have to have a good chat."

The crowd came to the lobby on the first floor under the leadership of Hank.

Oyede also followed and made tea for everyone. After pouring a cup for each person, he left.

He knew that these people needed time to chat now, and he also needed to go to bed. He drank so much wine and was sober for a while after being stimulated just now, but now it's not working again.

Logan and others sat on the sofa on the first floor, drinking hot tea.

Hank looked at Logan's appearance and sighed: "Logan, I didn't expect that more than ten years have passed, and you are still as young as ever."

The current Logan is almost the same as the Logan he saw in X Academy, but he himself has gradually become old and weak, and even has to wear reading glasses to read at night.

After a pause, he asked, "Where's the professor? Didn't he come with us?"

Logan smiled and shook his head, "This was originally a rescue operation. He is not suitable to participate in any operation now."

If he had known that this was a mistake, he would definitely bring the professor with him. After all, Charles missed this old friend very much.

Hank nodded and said with emotion, "We haven't seen each other for a long time. Is he in good health?"

"Don't worry, everything is fine."

Logan smiled and nodded, "He occasionally lost control before, but now he doesn't, and he is still healthy."

"That's good, that's good."

Hank also had a look of sadness on his face and said with a smile: "I saw you guys at McCain Farm before. To be honest, I couldn't believe it at the time. After all, with today's technology, clones can be easily created. Ka is a Hydra agent, which made me think that you were clones of Hydra."

As he said that, Hank smiled, then turned to look at Hans, "Later, in order to confirm the authenticity of your identities, I let Hans have a little contact with you. After confirming that it was really you, I asked him to remind you. Be careful Macca, don’t fall into his trap.”

After a pause, he smiled bitterly and said: "Actually, I should have gone to see you earlier, but you were always with Maika at that time. For safety, I had no choice but to hide first."

Logan nodded understandingly, "You are right to do this. At this age, there is really no need to actively provoke any disputes. It is not too late to meet with the professor after the matter is over. The place we are now is relatively safe. There will be plenty of time in the future.”

After saying that, Logan drank a cup of tea and asked curiously: "By the way, how did you escape in the first place? After that incident, the government's attitude towards us took a turn for the worse. It could even be said to be a full-scale siege. Charles and I I thought you were in danger a long time ago."

The thing he was talking about was naturally the incident in Westchester. The professor lost control and the situation of mutants was in danger. After that, all mutants were either caught or had to hide.

As the former director of the Department of Mutant Affairs and a member of the X-Men, Hank must be a key target for arrest. Logan and Charles once thought that he had already been captured or even executed.

When Hank heard this, he smiled and shook his head, and said with emotion: "After what happened, I expected that the government's attitude might change significantly. After all, those guys have long regarded mutants as a thorn in their side, and any slightest disturbance will be very serious." It might be the trigger for them to kill mutants, not to mention a tragedy like that in Westchester."

"After what happened, I fled to Canada before the government started to crack down on mutants."

Hank sighed with emotion, "For safety's sake, I didn't dare to show up in urban areas in Canada. I just went into the mountains and established myself in the forest, and I've been hiding there until now."

Listening to his words, Logan could imagine how difficult his life had been over the years.

In the deep mountains and old forests, you not only have to avoid pickets and passers-by entering the mountains, but you also have to find a way to feed your three children. If you put it on an ordinary person, you might have collapsed a long time ago.

After hearing these words, everyone fell silent.

They are all mutants, and only they know the hardships they have endured over the years.

Seeing the atmosphere gradually getting quieter, Hank suddenly smiled and waved his hand, "Okay, let's not talk about these sad past events. Everything will pass."

After speaking, he suddenly said with great interest: "And you are here just in time. Melanie needs help. Her current research is very important to the future development of mutants. I hope you can accompany me to meet her. "

"Melanie?"

Logan couldn't help but frown when he heard the name.

Hank smiled, "She is the person in charge of the Alien Center, and this Alien Center is an amazing place."

Seeing Hank's excited face, as if he couldn't wait to dive into the research, Logan couldn't help but frowned, and then nodded and said: "Okay, I'm here anyway, I can go and take a look with you."

The reason why he agreed to the invitation was not because he believed in this so-called alien center, but mainly because he was worried about Hank's safety. After all, Hank's body was no longer what it used to be. If he encountered danger, he alone would not be able to escape. They would take care of him. It's relatively safer.

Moreover, Logan always felt that the name of this alien center seemed vaguely familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it before, so he simply didn't think much about it.

Hearing Logan agree, the smile on Hank's face became even bigger.

Then several people chatted for a long time in the lobby on the first floor, mostly lamenting some past events. It wasn't until late at night that Hank arranged a room for them to sleep.

There are many houses in this small building, enough for them to rest.

Early the next morning, everyone gathered downstairs.

Hank also told Oyede, who had sobered up, that they were going with them.

Oyede is naturally very happy about this. After all, he saw Logan's strength last night. With his joining, the strength of the alien center will definitely be enhanced.

Everyone drove to the port, which was an abandoned port on the outskirts of Hilo that had long been unused, and Oyede's ship was parked here.

This is a fairly small passenger ship. Even though Hank and his family are very tall, they can easily sit down in the ship.

"The place we went to this time is an island. The location is a bit remote and there is no sign on the map. The island is the base of the Alien Center."

Oyede explained to Logan and the others while driving the passenger ship.

After nearly three hours of sailing, Logan and the others finally saw an island appearing on the sea level in a remote sea area.

Overall, this island is not too big, but it is not too small either. It should be the size of a small city.

There is also a special port on the island, which is full of all kinds of ships. There are even special people responsible for mooring the ships at the port.

Logan stood on the bow of the ship and looked at the modern island. He couldn't help but sigh: "This place must be very safe."

Before he even got off the boat, he could see guards patrolling the island. Each one was wearing a uniform military uniform and carrying a standard weapon. Judging from their movements, it was obvious that they had received special training.

Oyede laughed loudly, "Of course, our island is not only safe, but also has very complete facilities. To a certain extent, the facilities here are as good as any small city in the United States."

After saying that, he led everyone off the boat, pointed to a woman walking in front and said: "She is Melanie. She knew you were coming, so she has been waiting here for a long time."

With that said, Oyed stepped forward and greeted Melanie, "Boss, I brought him back."

Melanie smiled and nodded, looking at Logan and the others.

This is a middle-aged woman, wearing a decent women's suit, with wavy hair on her head, smiling at Logan and others: "Welcome to the Alien Center, I am Melanie, the person in charge here. "

After saying that, she stepped forward and shook hands with Hank warmly, "Mr. Hank, it's great that you can come here. Our research has encountered a bottleneck. I believe you can help us solve the problem."

Hank smiled quickly and waved his hands, "I will do my best for the future generations of our mutants."

Melanie smiled and nodded, then turned to look at Logan, "You must be Wolverine, you look much younger than I thought. I'm sorry, my subordinates didn't know that there was a conflict about your identity. I heard As I said about your past, you are a great hero and it is definitely an honor for me to have you here.”

"That's an exaggeration, Ms. Melanie." Logan smiled and shook her hand.

Melanie welcomed the arrival of Logan, Lorna and others, and then said with a smile: "Please get on the sightseeing bus, I will show you the alien center first."

She pointed to a sightseeing car behind her. It should be to take care of Hank and the others' size. Several relatively larger seats were temporarily welded behind the sightseeing car to make it easier for everyone to sit. It can also be seen that Melanie is very attentive. .

After everyone got on the bus, the vehicle started, and Melanie was like a tour guide, enthusiastically introducing the facilities of the entire alien center.

As the sightseeing bus went deeper and deeper, the expressions of Logan and others became filled with astonishment.

According to Melanie's introduction, the facilities at the Yiren Center are very complete. Not only are there stretches of roads, there are even vehicles passing on them, and there are even traffic lights on some busy roads!

There are various buildings on both sides of the road, including large residential areas for mutants to live in, as well as some commercial areas and even some industrial areas!

The small chimneys in some of the industrial areas are still emitting smoke, obviously the factories are in operation!

In addition, there are many entertainment facilities, including stadiums for healthy sports, parks for children to play, and even pubs!

Logan and others were completely stunned. Looking at this prosperous island, they felt that it was not much different from some cities!

Along the way, Melanie enthusiastically introduced everyone to the situation at the Alien Center.

"In addition to these facilities, we also have specialized hospitals and classrooms here. The hospital is large enough to handle any surgery, and the courses currently offered by the school can already enable mutant students to complete high school. As for college, it is not yet possible. All are open, and only some key disciplines such as medicine and economics are offered, but as the place grows, more and more majors will be offered.”

Melanie introduced with pride, while the faces of Logan and others were also full of shock.

Is this some kind of simple shelter? !

This is clearly a city that belongs to mutants!

After introducing the Alien Center, Melanie turned to look at Hank and said with a smile: "The main reason why we invited Mr. Hank to come is because you have profound knowledge in genetics. We hope that you can completely solve the problem of genetic modification." If the damage caused by the X gene can be solved, this biggest problem at present, I believe our future as mutants will be extremely brilliant!”

Listening to Melanie's words, Marcus was filled with shock.

He could see that this woman's ambition was too terrifying.

She doesn't just want to build a sanctuary, she wants to build a country for mutants!

In a moment of astonishment, the sightseeing bus stopped in front of a building in the center of the city. It was so glorious that it almost looked like a castle. Guards were constantly patrolling the surrounding area, making the security extremely reliable.

Melanie led everyone inside. It was more like a government office, with many staff busy.

Melanie's prestige here is obviously very high. All the staff he met nodded enthusiastically to him, and Melanie responded with a patient smile.

Everyone took the elevator to the top floor and entered a conference room under the leadership of Melanie.

The conference room has been decorated, and Melanie invites everyone to take their seats.

After another flattering chat about thanking you for coming, Melanie finally got to the point.

She looked at Logan and said with a smile: "Mr. Logan, you came just in time. I need to go to the Middle East now, and I also need a capable friend to accompany me. The main reason is that I want to go to Jiutou." Save a person from a snake, I wonder if you can agree? "

After a pause, she continued: "I know it's a bit abrupt for me to ask you to help when you first arrive, but I do need manpower now, and you have experience fighting Hydra, so I hope you can agree. "

Hearing this, Logan couldn't help but frown, subconsciously wanting to refuse.

He couldn't tell what kind of person Melanie was, so he acted rashly with her. Logan was worried that there was something fishy going on.

But before he could refuse, Hank said, "Logan, just agree to her, even if it's for my sake."

Listening to Hank's words, Logan was speechless.

He didn't know what charm this woman had that made Hank believe her so quickly and even favor her.

But Logan couldn't refuse now, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I can go with you."

After all, he and the shelter owed Hank's family a favor. Hank took the initiative to ask, so he could only agree first.

Moreover, if Hank recognized her, then there shouldn't be any problem with Melanie.

Seeing Logan's agreement, Melanie was naturally very happy. She enthusiastically arranged rooms for everyone and told Logan to act the next day.

That night, Logan called the shelter in the room, contacted Victor, Charles and others, and told them what was going on here. At the same time, he told them to be careful in the shelter, and then hung up the phone.

After a night's rest, Logan met up with Melanie the next day, took a boat to Hawaii, and then boarded a plane with a fake passport, with the goal of the Middle East.

In addition to him and Melanie, Oyed also carried out this mission together.

As for Hank's family, they stayed on the island. After all, Hank was still busy with his research, and the conspicuous size of the three Hans brothers was obviously not suitable for any mission.

Soon, the plane arrived in the Middle East.

Logan and others got off the plane.

The scorching sun shone, the dust flew, and the Middle East was still the same as before.

Looking at the desert, Logan shook his head with a wry smile, "I didn't expect that I would be back after just a few days away."
