Chapter 130 Fire rescue, Scarlet Witch

The night in the Middle East was chilly, with a cold wind blowing past, carrying a little dust.

On a relatively busy street, people were enjoying this rare quiet night.

Suddenly, a black shadow rushed out of the crowd, violently pushed away the passers-by who were chatting, and knocked over many roadside stalls, and the fruits and vegetables on the stalls were scattered all over the ground.

"Hey!"

The stall owner stood up and was about to catch up with the black shadow to claim compensation, but a series of powerful voices came from behind him.

"Stop!"

"If you don't stop, we will shoot!"

The patrolmen followed the black shadow closely, holding pistols in their hands. Due to the long chase, these patrolmen were all red-faced and out of breath.

Pedestrians stopped one after another, watching the chase in astonishment, but no one dared to step forward to help the patrolmen stop the black-robed man.

Bang!

The patrolmen raised their guns to the sky and fired warning shots, which frightened the pedestrians around them and made them panic and half-crouched down.

In the Middle East, everyone is basically subconsciously panicked when facing gunshots, even if they know that the gun is not aimed at them.

But the black figure wrapped in a black robe and a hood covering his face is obviously an exception. He seems to be unafraid of the bullets in the gun. He shuttles through the crowd with agility and speed, leaving the patrolman behind.

The patrolman had no choice but to chase again. After all, this is a busy city, surrounded by civilians. They can't shoot at the suspect in such a place, otherwise it might not be the suspect who falls, but ordinary people.

They followed the black-robed man closely, shouting "Stop!" in their mouths.

After chasing all the way, the black-robed man ran out of the busy street and entered a sparsely populated section of the road. On the huge street, there were only a few people chatting together in the distance.

The patrolman behind him secretly thought that it was a good opportunity and he would raise his gun to shoot.

However, just as they were about to pull the trigger, the black-robed man suddenly dodged to the left and ran into a dark alley.

"Damn it, chase him, don't let that guy get away!"

The patrolman put down his gun, cursed, and hurriedly chased him again.

As soon as they entered the alley, the patrolmen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The black-robed man quietly stopped in the alley with his back to them. At the end of the alley was a high wall.

Looking at the black-robed man who had no way to go, the patrolmen could finally stop and gasp for breath.

"Hand over the antique, otherwise don't blame us for shooting!"

While panting, a patrolman had raised his pistol and pointed the dark muzzle at the black-robed man.

The black-robed man sighed slowly and turned around.

The loose black robe almost completely covered him, and his face could not be seen at all.

"If you want it, come and get it yourself."

A hoarse voice came from under the black robe, and he slowly raised a withered palm, holding a delicate yellow-brown box in his hand.

"Put the things down, and hold your head with both hands!"

The patrolman stared at the box and laughed.

But the black-robed man was unmoved, and his eyes under the black robe stared at these people as if jokingly.

"Damn it, shoot!"

The patrolman was angry at the black-robed man's indifferent look, but no one dared to really step forward to take the things back, and no one knew whether they would become the hostage of the black-robed man after paying the money.

However, just when their fingers were on the trigger and wanted to shoot, they suddenly found that the trigger could not be pulled down anyway.

Just when the patrolmen thought they had forgotten to turn on the safety.

Buzz!

Several pistols suddenly made a buzzing sound, and then they trembled violently and uncontrollably.

The patrolmen stared at this scene with wide eyes, holding the pistols tightly to prevent the guns from falling out of their hands.

But the pistols came with strong power.

Wheezing.

Click!

The pistols broke free from their hands and slowly floated in the air. The muzzles turned and aimed at the policemen who were trembling with fear.

Looking at the pistols floating in the air and the black muzzles, all the policemen were filled with fear.

"Devil... they are right, the man in black robes is the devil!"

Several policemen trembled with their legs, staring at the man in black robes, almost frightened to incontinence, turned around and ran out of the alley, and disappeared in a flash, shouting panic words like "Devil... help".

"Cough cough cough."

After seeing the policemen fleeing, the man in black robes finally couldn't help coughing violently, and the palms of the robes were forced to loosen, tightly holding his mouth.

Click!

All the suspended pistols fell to the ground and were scattered on the ground.

The black-robed man seemed to have exhausted all his strength. He took two steps back and leaned against the wall of the alley, taking deep breaths and panting heavily. He coughed violently as if he was going to cough out his lungs.

After a while, the black-robed man looked outside the alley with caution, hugged the stolen antiques tightly, and jumped over the high wall of the alley in a few steps, disappearing into the night.

…

…

…

Akle City.

In a hotel with decent specifications.

Logan and others gathered in the hotel room, and Melanie was telling everyone about the plan of this rescue mission.

"I have already found out that Hydra is lurking in Akle City, but unfortunately, I don't know the specific location of their base."

Melanie sat on the sofa and told everyone about the information she knew. However, this information was obviously not very helpful. After all, although the city of Akle was not big, it was obviously difficult for them to find a base alone. Difficulties abound.

Lorna, who was sitting on the sofa on the other side, frowned, "You don't want us to go find out the location of Hydra, do you? Those guys are hard to find, and we alone are not enough."

There is an entire city, and if they want to find a certain base in it, and it is also the base of Hydra, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack, and it may take several months to find it.

Logan and others also nodded, indicating that Lorna was right.

None of them have the ability to investigate. They may be good at fighting, but forget about finding someone.

Melanie smiled and shook her head, "Don't worry about this. I know that Hydra has a man named Loit and I have his photo. As long as you find him, you can find Hydra stationed in Aker City." branch, and that person often wanders around the nearby West City, so it is not difficult to target him. "

After hearing this, Logan nodded with relief, as long as there were clues, it would be easy.

Melanie continued: "I will be responsible for this matter. I will notify you after I find him. In the meantime, we may have to stay here for some days."

Logan didn't have any objections to this.

Now the professor and the others have settled in, and during the phone call last night, I also learned from the professor that the shelter is on track. In addition to building the shelter, the members have also begun to think of ways to make money for the shelter. To make a living, he was even starting to look for a good place to start teaching again.

In a short period of time, Logan didn't have to worry about the problems at the shelter.

As for Hank, he is protected by his three sons, so there should be no danger.

So it would be okay for Logan to stay in the Middle East for a while.

"Since we don't have any plans in a short time, I suggest that we go out for a walk first."

Logan looked at Melanie and said, "We are all a little unfamiliar with this place. We can get familiar with the terrain by going out for a walk, so as not to make it difficult to evacuate if something unexpected happens."

He was mainly doing this for Clarice's sake. After all, Clarice's skill was teleportation, and being familiar with the nearby terrain would allow her to better utilize her abilities.

Otherwise, if something happened later and she needed to teleport, it would be terrible to teleport them to a dead end in a panic.

Hearing this, Melanie didn't have any objections, "Yes, but you have to be careful in everything. It's best not to let others recognize you."

While it's unlikely that people in the Middle East know Wolverine, that's not necessarily the case within Hydra.

What's more, because of Logan, Hydra lost a base in Canada. This matter may have already spread within Hydra. Maybe the list and photos of the main members of McCain Farm have been circulated among Hydra. .

If someone from Hydra discovers that Logan and others have appeared in the Middle East, the impact on this mission will not be good.

"Don't worry, we will be careful."

Logan smiled and was about to stand up and take Lorna and the others out for a walk.

"etc."

Melanie spoke again, and at the same time took out her mobile phone and said: "I will send you a photo of Loit, and you should pay attention to it when you are outside."

At the same time as she spoke, the mobile phones in the pockets of all four Logans vibrated.

Logan took out his cell phone and looked at the photos sent by Melanie. After nodding, he stopped talking and walked out of the hotel with Lorna and the three of them.

At this time, the sun was shining brightly outside, and as soon as I stepped out of the hotel door, a heat wave hit my face instantly, accompanied by bursts of sand in the hot wind.

The Middle East is like this. The daytime is midsummer and the night is winter all year round. There are yellow sand and Gobi everywhere, and the living environment is extremely harsh.

There are many people setting up stalls on both sides of the street. In addition to local fruits and vegetables, most of the stalls are handicrafts. There are no relatively expensive items. There are even few butcher shops. This shows that the quality of life of the people here is poor. Not great, in fact this can be seen from the houses on both sides.

Most of the houses are very old and the decoration is very simple. Some windows don't even have glass windows and are only separated by wooden boards. Some walls still have traces of bullet holes and shrapnel. Even some houses in the corners have long been destroyed. The shells reduced it to rubble, but it looked like it had happened a long time ago.

There are cars and motorcycles passing by on the road from time to time. Most of these cars are very old, and even some antique cars have traces of bullet holes.

Many people in white robes wandered the streets. From time to time, a curse would be heard on a certain street, and then there would be a chase scene. The person in front was holding on to the wallet he had just stolen. The people behind were shouting and chasing after them, but the people around them turned a blind eye.

This is Akre, a city where the crime rate has surged. Especially after the war, the security administration here has become even more chaotic. The police department has just been established, and the so-called police officers are actually soldiers left behind after the war.

Some militiamen who don't even have formal military uniforms are wandering on the streets carrying AKs. In the name of public security, they will take a few fruits from some vendors' stalls and gnaw on them from time to time, but sit back and watch when thieves or robberies happen. Reason, on the contrary, looked like watching the fun, and the people dared to be angry but dare not speak out.

Logan and his companions obviously didn't bother to pay attention to these situations. They walked on the street with indifference, and most of the locals were very curious about them. After all, in a place where the war had just ended, foreign faces were obviously rare.

Some children who were buying cigarettes or candy came up with courage, with an open box hanging on their chests, indicating that Logan and his companions could buy something.

Most of the children were driven away by Logan, but he took the initiative to patronize a little guy selling newspapers. He wanted to learn more about the local situation through newspapers.

Fortunately, the newspapers here actually have English versions. I think they should be specially prepared for some mercenaries stationed here. After all, the war here has just ended, and some foreign mercenaries have not yet evacuated.

The newspapers didn't have much content that interested Logan. A lot of space was introduced on how the government planned to rebuild the city, some politicians' responses to citizens, and the situation of the war in surrounding countries.

Just when Logan was losing interest, a piece of news in the corner of the newspaper aroused his interest.

The news mentioned that a theft occurred in a museum that was not affected by the war, but according to the description of the police, the theft was not man-made, but the work of the devil. The other party could not only fly, but also take objects from the air, etc.

Logan looked at this obviously exaggerated report and couldn't help laughing, "Satan is actually interested in antiques in the world and even sent the devil to steal?"

Hearing this, Lorna leaned in front of the newspaper to take a look at the report, and shook her head and said, "It may be a superhuman or a mutant. The people here may regard the mutant ability as the devil's magic."

Marcos also leaned in, took a look, and suddenly smiled at Lorna, "This looks like you did it."

Lorna can also fly and take objects from the air. She can control the iron sheet to step on the ground to stay in the air and move for a short time. Taking objects from the air is even simpler. As long as the object is made of iron, she can control it.

Lorna rolled her eyes at him.

Clarice said innocently, "Impossible. If it was Sister Lorna who did it, the report would call her an angel, not a devil."

Lorna couldn't help but laugh at this, and she touched the girl's head affectionately.

Logan couldn't help but laugh, put away the newspaper and sighed, "It seems that there are many mutants or superpowers in the Middle East."

This made him think of the guys he met in the Middle East last time.

The group of guys wearing masks was obviously an organization, and their strength was obviously not weak, and they were very difficult to deal with.

But it's normal to think about it. After all, the Middle East is very chaotic, with warlords separatist, frequent wars, and various forces and countries making small troubles every three days and big troubles every five days, with a life-and-death posture.

In such a place, it is actually more suitable for mutants to hide. After all, the government has been overwhelmed by the chaos, so how can it have time to care about mutants?

Bang!

Just as Logan was thinking, an explosion suddenly came from a distance and pulled his mind back.

The rumbling explosion shocked the pedestrians on the street and they ran home desperately. Some vendors even lost their belongings.

The ground shook, and the surrounding houses were affected by the shock wave of the explosion, causing some vibrations. The loess fell off the wall and the wind and sand filled the air.

Along with the explosion, there were also screams of panic from the people.

"Fighting again?"

Marcos looked in the direction of the explosion with a frown.

It is not surprising that a war suddenly broke out in such a place. The remnants of some hostile governments would occasionally make human bombs, car bombs and other things and rush into government buildings to detonate.

"Go and see."

Logan was somewhat interested. Although he did not want to participate in the fight, he was very interested in the fun, mainly because he was curious.

Lorna and others had no objection, and they rushed towards the direction of the explosion together.

Fortunately, there was only an explosion, and no gunshots were heard.

The explosion site was not far from Logan and his friends, and they could see it after turning a corner.

There was an explosion in a building. Thick dust and fog rolled up. The ground was full of broken glass. The whole building was burning with fierce flames. The raging flames spread throughout the building, but fortunately the building was still strong and did not collapse due to the explosion.

The streets were full of frightened pedestrians, and some people pointed at the building anxiously.

"Fire, put out the fire!"

"There are still people inside, still alive, save them!"

"Oh my God, how could it explode, come quickly!"

...

In the building, some people wailed in the fire, and some people rushed out in fear of the fire, but were swallowed by the fire in an instant. When they rushed out of the building, they were already wrapped in the terrifying fire, and became a burning man, falling down in pain.

In some high-rise buildings that were not affected by the fire, people stood by the windows and begged for help.

Logan frowned, and his ears were filled with the panicked voices of passers-by. Some people had already run out of their homes, holding basins of water and pouring them on the building, but this amount of water was nothing compared to the raging fire.

The fire became more and more intense as time went by, and was gradually spreading to the buildings on both sides.

Seeing this, Lorna frowned, and immediately spread her hands, with green light appearing in her palms, and she was about to rush up to find a way to save people.

"Wait."

Marcos was quick and grabbed Lorna. Just as Lorna frowned, he pointed to the distance and said, "Don't worry, they will take action."

Several people looked over there.

"Avengers?"

Logan looked at the figures coming over there, led by Steve.

He was rushing over with a few people, staring at the high-rise building burning with flames.

Why are the Avengers here?

Seeing Steve, Logan couldn't help but frown.

Just as he was puzzled, a hot figure in a scarlet windbreaker suddenly flew out from behind Steve, and she was suspended in the air with bursts of red light around her.

Looking at the two water pipes on both sides of the building, she raised her hands violently, and the red light instantly scattered and wrapped around the water pipes.

With her strong pull, the hard water pipes broke and water gushed out.

Peng... swish!

Under the control of the red light, the water pipe sprayed into the flames that filled the sky. Every burning point was washed by the water, and the flames were completely extinguished in a short while.

"That is... Scarlet Witch."

Logan recognized the figure wrapped in red light, and it was Wanda whom he had met before.

At the same time, Steve on the opposite side was relieved to see the fire was extinguished. When he looked around, he saw Logan in the crowd, and his expression was obviously stunned.

Logan didn't want to get too entangled with them. When he saw Steve paying attention to him, he turned around without saying a word, "Let's go!"

After that, he was about to take people away quickly.

And Steve hurriedly caught up.

"Logan, wait."

He shouted at Logan behind him, and said at the same time: "We need to talk."
