Chapter 27 Gabriela's concerns, he is just an Uber driver

In the factory area beside the railway tracks, the iron wall leaked cracks, and the dust and sand that passed by from time to time swept outside the iron wall, making a tinkling sound.

The old electric fan in the living room squeaked non-stop.

Logan sat in front of the table, measuring the hole in the iron table and trying to repair it with the wood on the table.

"Logan, how did you break it?"

Caliban squatted down and watched Logan's movements, and couldn't help asking: "Also, how did you do this?"

The thickness of the iron table is not small. To make such a hole, at least a large-caliber rifle is needed to shoot it.

Of course, Logan's steel claws are also capable of punching through the table, but the shape of the hole is a regular circle, not a claw mark, which is obviously not the masterpiece of the steel claws.

"This..."

Logan hesitated a little, considering whether to tell Caliban about his new ability.

"It seems that Logan has something to say to us."

Charles Xavier, who was watching TV, noticed Logan's hesitation and pushed the wheelchair over with interest.

Logan looked at the professor hesitantly. Before he could speak, Caliban on the side shouted excitedly: "Great, Logan, are you finally going to leave this damn place?"

Caliban wanted to leave this damn place even in his dreams. Not to mention that the high temperature environment of the desert with long-term ultraviolet rays made him suffer, more importantly, he thought he still had value and the remaining decades of his life could not be wasted here.

"No."

Logan shook his head decisively. He wanted to leave, but now was not the time.

"That's so disappointing."

Caliban felt lost and sat down on the chair helplessly, playing with the wooden block that Logan used to repair the table.

Logan ignored the lost Caliban, pondered for a moment and finally said: "I have awakened a new ability."

He decided to tell the professor and Caliban that he had awakened his thermal vision.

Although the awakening of thermal vision should not be revealed to others, after all, it is a killer move that can turn the tide of the battle in a critical moment.

But in the past few years, Logan and Professor Caliban have been dependent on each other, like close relatives. No one in the world is more trustworthy than them.

"What?"

The professor and Caliban were stunned at first, staring at Logan.

"This is impossible, Logan, you are two hundred years old, and you are long past the age of awakening your abilities."

Caliban looked Logan up and down, shook his head and said, "I used to be a black market merchant and saw many mutants, but I have never seen anyone in a nursing home awaken mutant abilities."

Logan didn't speak, his eyes gradually became hot and his pupils radiated red.

The next second, a blazing beam of light flashed out, and the stuffy room was instantly covered with high temperature.

Bang!

The beam easily penetrated the table, and an identical small hole appeared next to the hole that had not been repaired.

Snap!

The wood that Caliban was playing with fell to the ground with a clang, and his pale face was full of disbelief, staring at the newly added hole on the table in amazement.

He opened his mouth wide and said, "Scott's Cyclops? No, Cyclops are not like this, Logan, what is your ability?"

"Heat vision."

Logan responded truthfully, "Relying on the eyes to emit high-temperature lasers, if you use it with all your strength, it will be stronger than it is now."

"Oh my God."

Caliban touched his bald forehead, looked at the professor beside him and asked, "Professor, is this normal?"

Charles stared at the hole on the table, and said in silence for a while, "Theoretically, it is possible, but... this is the first time I have seen it."

"I also think it is a pleasant surprise."

Logan knew that no one in the world knew the X gene better than the professor, and his life revolved around the "X gene".

However, the professor has studied the X gene for many years, and has seen countless mutants and many various cases at Xavier World Academy, but there has never been any case like Logan, who can awaken new abilities at the age of 200.

Most mutants awaken their mutant abilities when they are teenagers or young adults. The younger they are, the higher the chance of awakening. As they age, the chance of awakening decreases year by year.

However, Logan is the only one who awakens new abilities in old age.

"I just awakened recently, and I have only used it twice so far."

Logan told the two truthfully.

Charles looked at Logan and fell into deep thought for a long time before speaking again: "Maybe your mentality has changed recently, stimulating the potential in your body, so you awakened this new ability."

Logan was a little confused before, and even had the idea of ​​committing suicide more than once. Charles knew that he always carried an adamantium bullet that could end his life.

But in the last conversation in the water tower, Charles noticed the change in Logan's thoughts. He even proposed the idea of ​​looking for a gathering place for mutants, which shows that his mentality is changing.

And the abilities of mutants are mostly related to emotions.

Emotions stimulate the potential in genes, thereby inducing the awakening of mutant abilities.

It is very likely that after Logan's mentality changed, his emotions also changed, so he has the new ability now.

Although this idea is a bit far-fetched, Charles feels that this is the only reasonable explanation for Logan's awakening of new abilities.

"By the way, you haven't told anyone about this."

Charles stared at Logan seriously.

"No."

Logan shook his head, "You are the only two people who know about my awakening of new abilities."

"That's good."

Charles breathed a sigh of relief, and then said with a serious expression: "This matter must not be known to outsiders!"

As he spoke, he turned to look at Caliban.

Caliban nodded in understanding.

Logan also asked the professor to relax, "Don't worry, I will hide it well."

He was still able to awaken new abilities at the age of two hundred. If word spread about this, it would definitely make the biologists in white coats in the laboratory go crazy.

At that time, countless forces will immediately surround this broken factory area, and even a drop of his blood will be frantically studied by the group of biologists like a treasure.

Ding dong!

The cell phone beside the table suddenly buzzed with a message alert.

An unread text message appears on the screen.

[Nurse]: When can we see you?

This was Gabriela, and Logan gave her a codename just in case.

Logan picked up the phone and replied: "In a few days, now is not the time."

After sending the text message, Logan turned off the screen and his expression gradually became serious.

After helping Chris complete two tasks, he had enough money to leave Santa Fe City.

Perhaps, it's time to think about how to get rid of the Lawrence family and Donald.

…

…

…

At the same time, in a very shabby cheap hotel.

【Logan】: In a few days, now is not the time.

Gabriela looked at the text message on the screen and anxiously grabbed the phone with both hands.

She has been staying in this hotel for several days. She has to be wary of the strange faces around her every day. Her mind is always in a state of tension. She even dares not sleep too much. This kind of life makes her look exhausted.

At this time, a red ball rolled to his feet, and then a young white hand stretched out and picked up the red ball.

The girl squatted on the ground and raised her head, holding a comic in her other hand. The cover showed Wolverine taking several children in a paradise.

She stood up and pointed to the comic, "When will we go to the Garden of Eden?"

Gabriela tried her best to put some tenderness on her exhausted face, and reached out to touch the girl's hair, "You have to wait a few more days, and Wolverine will take you there by then."

"That hero?"

Laura touched Wolverine in the comics.

In the picture, Wolverine is standing on a boulder, wearing a classic yellow suit, his eyes are full of bravery without fear of danger, and sharp claws extend from the clenched fists, scattering metal. The silver shines brightly, and the majestic body is like a warrior who dares to fight against everything.

"Um."

Gabriela smiled and nodded, but her eyes gradually dimmed.

That hero?

Maybe it was once.

She wasn't sure whether the current Wolverine still had the same bloodiness as before.

It had been a full week since she came here and contacted Wolverine, but he still refused to meet, and even the content of the text message reply was more like a malicious tease.

This forced her to think carefully about whether Wolverine was really reliable. Maybe he was not as great as the comics said.

And during this period, she also found out from other Uber drivers that James was now a heavy drinker, and his violent temper even made it difficult for him to make a friend with whom he could drink.

Perhaps, the former Wolverine has grown old.

Now he is just an Uber driver with no hope in life.

Maybe his request for help was just for fun while he was drunk...
