Chapter 110: Good Neighbor Spider-Man, New York’s ally

The sound of rustling water in the shower slowly ended, the door opened, and Maika, who had put on a new set of clothes, walked out of the mist, holding a bath towel in his hand, wiping the water droplets from his hair.

Everyone was waiting for him in the living room, looking at Maika with excitement.

Logan could feel that Maika was like a backbone, and everyone was looking forward to his return. Even Lorna and others breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Maika back.

In their eyes, Maika seems to have become the absolute leader. As long as he exists, all difficulties will not be a problem.

"What happened to you after we left?"

When Klaus saw Maika sitting down, he asked with concern, "When your voice disappeared from the communicator, we were all scared."

Outside the laboratory, Maika gave them a chance to escape and deal with the monsters alone.

During the escape, Klaus would ask about Maika's situation every once in a while.

It was okay at first, and Maika responded to every inquiry. But after a while, no matter how Klaus called, there was no sound from Maika.

This made the whole car of them extremely panicked. It was not until they saw that Maika returned safely that they felt completely relieved.

"The communicator is damaged."

Maika shook his head helplessly, and then continued: "Those monsters are really difficult to deal with, so I can only try my best to lure them away."

"later..."

Maika recalled the experience at that time and told everyone the outline of what happened.

"Not long after you escaped, the official army sent out troops to suppress the monsters. They deployed a lot of heavy weapons and equipment, including tanks and planes. I could only hide temporarily until the limelight passed, and then I looked for an opportunity. Escaped."

Everyone listened to Maika's statement with worries on their faces.

Although Micah said it very lightly, everyone could imagine the danger at that time.

There were the group of laboratory monsters in front of him, and the government troops were encircling and suppressing him in the back. No matter which side he was on, it was a fatal danger for him.

Being able to escape alive under such layers of siege is enough to illustrate Maika's ability.

"After escaping, I first returned to the farm, but found that the previous farm had been surrounded by pickets. I overheard their conversation and learned that you had successfully escaped, so I guessed that you would come to Plan B. So I rushed over."

After speaking, Maika looked at the dilapidated house that had been cleaned by everyone, with a nostalgic expression on his face, "I never thought I would come back here in this life."

Looking at his expression, Logan thought of the photos he found during cleaning, and asked, "Is this your previous home?"

Maika nodded, "It was my home a long time ago, and I haven't been back for a long time. Fortunately, I didn't tear it down and used it as a backup plan. Now I use it."

After speaking, he looked at everyone and said with a look of regret: "This farm is not as good as the previous one, and it is still very dilapidated. But now there is no better way. Let's just make do with it and wait for the news to pass. Talk about it later."

"It's good to have a safe place to rest. We won't expect too much."

Lorna looked at Maika and spoke, thinking for a moment and then added: "And there are so many of us, and together we can renovate it better than the previous farm."

Talent is the hope of life. As long as people like them are still around, life will continue.

Everyone nodded and still had hope for their future life.

However, Logan suddenly said from the side: "I think there is no need to waste time on creating a living environment here. As long as it is simple repairs and can be lived in, maybe... we won't stay here for too long. "

Logan's words made everyone stunned and looked puzzled.

"What's the meaning?"

Klaus asked with a puzzled look, "It's nice here."

Although these are a bit dilapidated, they are all minor problems for them. After all, they are all mutants. As long as they want to repair the living environment here, they can clean it up in a week at most.

"It's nice, but it's not safe."

Logan shook his head and explained: "I believe those pickets will not let us go. It won't be long before those guys find us again, and the environment here is not convenient for us to evacuate."

He knew very well that although the farm was built deep in a dense forest, with dense leaves overhead, the pickets could not detect their traces from the air.

But the advantages only end there. In terms of defensive capabilities, it can be said to be surprisingly poor.

The previous farm had a plain in front. As long as one or two people stood guard in front, they could easily detect the movements of the pickets and inform the people on the farm in advance to defend or evacuate in advance. Moreover, the back was connected to the mountains and forests, allowing them to enter the mountains and forests. hiding in.

The dense forest here made it difficult for them to detect the enemy's attack, and they might be surrounded without knowing it.

And Logan believes that those picket guys will not give up easily. They will only try their best to hunt down mutants.

Logan's words made everyone think deeply. Even Maika nodded and said, "Logan is right. This place is only suitable for a temporary rest, not for long-term residence."

He grew up on this farm, and he naturally knows the shortcomings of this farm better than anyone else.

In his plan, the farm was only suitable as a rest stop, and indeed not suitable for long-term residence.

After thinking for a moment, Maika stood up and walked out of the door with his cell phone, indicating that he wanted to make a call.

Ten minutes later, he returned to the living room, pointed at the phone and said, "I have contacted another mutant shelter and they can provide us with some help."

"You know quite a few mutants. Is there anyone who can help us at this juncture?"

Victor raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but joke on the side.

You know, they have more than a hundred people here, and eating, drinking, and sleeping is a huge expense, and they are still being chased by pickets. There are actually other shelters willing to lend a helping hand at this time?

To be honest, Victor was a little surprised.

Maika said calmly: "We mutants are supposed to help each other. Today's environment is very unfavorable for us mutants. If we are in danger, they will give us support. Likewise, one day they will be attacked. Even if it's dangerous, we need to help, it's very common in our shelters."

"That's right!"

Charles, who was sitting on the sofa, suddenly spoke excitedly and praised what Maika said: "That's right. In today's environment, only by uniting can we survive better!"

This has always been the professor's philosophy, to help each other and unite with each other. It was for this goal that he founded X College.

It's a pity that he can't change the situation of mutual hostility among mutants. Many mutants are still intrigued by each other.

At this time, Marcus frowned and said with some worry: "Although they are willing to help us, we can't completely trust them. Before contacting them, it is best to find out their details first, otherwise we may not be able to trust them." If we change hands, they will sell it."

This kind of thing is not uncommon in the mutant circle. In order to survive, some mutants betray the group, surrender to pickets or laboratories, and there are also many guys who work as their lackeys.

Those guys often take the initiative to contact other mutants and lure mutants into the picket circle in the name of cooperation.

Marcos was worried that something like this would happen to them.

Maika nodded, "Your concerns are not unreasonable, and I have already thought of them, so I asked to meet with their contact person first, and then decide on cooperation after a thorough understanding."

After a pause, Maika added: "But they are in New York. I'm afraid a few people will accompany me to New York tomorrow."

"New York?"

When Logan heard the name of this place, he couldn't help showing a surprised expression, "They open a mutant asylum in New York?"

You know, New York is a very developed city with a very dense population.

And it is precisely because of this that the security in New York is much better than that in other places. There are many pickets and other organizations that specialize in dealing with mutants. They are designed to arrest mutants as soon as they are discovered. The reason is Prevent them from committing crimes in New York.

But the people from this shelter actually dared to be stationed in New York, which Logan couldn't even imagine.

After all, most shelters are in remote places like suburban wilderness.

"It seems they are very strong."

Logan couldn't help but murmur, full of curiosity about the shelter.

And Maika also nodded and said: "It seems that you are very interested. Tomorrow you and Marcos will go with me to meet their contact person and find out their details."

In this regard, Logan nodded without any hesitation.

This matter concerns the entire sanctuary. Nowadays, the environment in their sanctuary is not safe. It is naturally best to find a safe and reliable ally.

Logan also wants to see the mutant organization grow and develop.

After the exchange ended, Maika said he needed to rest.

Logan and others also said goodbye wisely and left Maika's room. Logan and Laura supported the professor and followed Caliban and Victor back to their room.

As soon as he put the professor on the bed, Logan pulled Laura and Caliban over, looked at them and told them: "I will go out with Maika tomorrow. If there is any danger during this period, you will be the first to do so." Time to take the professor away, don't put yourself in danger!"

Of all the mutants in the asylum now, Logan is most worried about their safety.

Laura also knew how much Logan valued the professor, and nodded seriously.

Caliban also promised Logan: "Don't worry, we will take good care of the professor."

Logan nodded.

At this time, Charles, who was sitting on the bed, suddenly said: "Logan, don't be so nervous. I have a certain ability to protect myself now."

After being injected with the super soldier serum, the professor's physical condition has improved a lot. Although it is not as good as when he was young, his energy and spirit have been significantly improved.

He smiled and said to Logan: "Don't worry, I won't lose control anymore, and I can also use my mutant abilities."

"only..."

As he spoke, he smiled bitterly and added: "My control of mutant abilities is still a bit rusty now. After all, I haven't used it for a long time, and I still need some practice to recover."

Since the Westchester incident, the professor has rarely actively used his mutant abilities. The last time he used it was after he was injected with the enhanced serum, and he only used it once in a short period of time.

Now, he is very unfamiliar with his mutant ability and cannot be very powerful in a short period of time.

Logan nodded and said, "There's no need to force it. Let's take good care of ourselves first."

He stepped forward and patted the professor on the shoulder, comforting him and telling him not to be eager for quick success.

Although the serum has made the professor's body feel much better and he can at least control himself, it does not mean that he has fully recovered.

If telepathy is used for a long time, the professor will also lose control.

The only difference from before is that the previous loss of control was passive and beyond the professor's control.

The current loss of control is active. Unless the professor is willing, there will be no loss of control.

Logan looked into Charles's eyes and suddenly thought of something. He looked around to make sure there was no wall behind the door, and asked in a low voice: "Professor, after your ability recovered, have you tried using telepathy?" , look into Micah's mind?"

Maika is still too mysterious to him.

Although Maika seemed to be a good and righteous person through everything he had shown them now, for some reason, Logan's instinct was always wary of him.

This kind of alertness from the sixth sense and the situation seen with the eyes produced a strong conflict, making Logan feel a little uncomfortable.

Logan's question instantly attracted the attention of Victor and others, who quickly turned their heads to look over.

Obviously, they are also particularly concerned about this issue.

Charles looked at everyone's eyes, hesitated for a while, nodded and said: "I did try to invade his mind, but... I didn't see any dangerous thoughts in him."

Hearing this answer, Logan couldn't help but fall into silence.

The Professor's telepathy is generally infallible.

But if the professor is right, is there something wrong with my sixth sense?

Is that weirdo really a bad guy who wants to drive a wedge between himself and Maika?

Logan shook his head and told Charles what happened last night when the weirdo appeared again, and added: "That weirdo always told me to be careful about Micah, but I don't know whether he is good or bad. Maybe next time I have a chance. I should take you to meet them and see what's going on in their hearts."

Charles nodded without hesitation, "Okay, next time they appear again, I will accompany you to meet them."

He was very interested in those weirdos, because according to Logan, those weirdos should have something to do with Beast Hank.

Charles missed that old friend very much.

After this incident, the farm returned to peace.

Lorna got some food that was enough for the shelter members to eat for several days. Others also cleaned the shelter and made a lot of empty rooms, which was enough for everyone to live in.

In the early morning of the next day, Logan, Victor, and Marcus followed Mika to New York, while the others stayed behind to be wary of possible threats.

After walking out of the woods, Maika got a car, and after a while of driving, they finally arrived on the streets of New York.

At this time, some time has passed since the Ultron incident, and the Avengers were also deeply affected after experiencing the Ultron incident.

The Avengers were definitely everyone's heroes before. When Logan came to New York last time, the streets were full of Avengers posters, and a lot of Avengers fans were wandering the streets wearing their clothes, and the atmosphere was very lively.

But this time, the situation has undergone earth-shaking changes.

On the streets of New York, people holding signs protesting against the Avengers can be seen everywhere, and a large group of people shouted slogans.

A big red cross was drawn on the wall with Avengers graffiti. Some people burned Avengers posters and peripheral toys in the park, which attracted many people to cheer.

"It seems that the Avengers' recent reputation is not very good."

Marcos looked at the scenes outside the window and had mixed feelings for a moment. He felt like a hero who was aloof and fell into the quagmire overnight.

"Ultron is the product of Tony's mistakes."

Maika was very calm. He looked out the window and said indifferently: "He has to pay for his actions. A simple sentence or two cannot convince those poor people who have lost their loved ones."

The Ultron incident had a great impact on many people. Many people lost their lives in this sudden incident, and even the entire human race on the earth was almost extinct.

After the people knew about this, they were naturally dissatisfied with the Avengers' negligent behavior. After all, among the Avengers, Tony's product almost killed all mankind.

"You will reap the consequences. If they had not taken the spiritual scepter, perhaps these things would not have happened."

Victor, who was in the passenger seat, kept his mouth shut and looked indifferent.

He didn't care what happened to the Avengers, or the worse their situation was, the more Victor wanted to see.

On the other side, Logan remained silent and concentrated on driving.

He knows very well that the Ultron incident will not stop with the death of Ultron, and a series of conflicts will occur in the subsequent Avengers. Only then will people's opposition to the Avengers reach a climax, and the government will also begin to want to curb revenge. author's authority.

On the one hand, there is the oppression of the government, and on the other hand, there is the complex pressure of public opinion, which eventually led to the outbreak of the Avengers Civil War.

However, judging from the current stage, it still needs a long period of fermentation.

"There's a Spider-Man!"

Marcus suddenly pointed out the window and spoke.

Logan looked along his hand and saw a video playing on a huge electronic screen. A red and blue figure shuttled between the buildings, and the title read "Friendly Neighbors".

"A superhero in pajamas, New York is really a magical place."

Victor looked at the figure floating among the tall buildings and couldn't help but complain.

"That's Spider-Man."

Logan rolled his eyes at him.

But unexpectedly, Spider-Man also appeared, but calculating the time, it seems that this was the time when Peter Parker became Spider-Man.

"Here we are, right in front."

While chatting, Maika suddenly pointed to a factory in front.

Logan looked towards Maika's hand.

It was a candy processing factory. There were many candy patterns painted on the red and blue signboard. There were constantly vehicles transporting candy in the huge factory. Through the fence outside the factory, they could clearly see many workers in the factory. Busy in various factories.

Several adjacent factories are under full construction, and they look quite large.
