Chapter 129: returning favors

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

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

"Father."

When Hans saw that Hank was safe and sound, he immediately became excited and threw himself in front of Hank, checking his body up and down. "How are you? Are you not injured? "

Ever since Hank was arrested, the three brothers have been extremely worried about their father's condition. Now that they see that Hank is fine, they are finally relieved.

"It's okay."

Hank waved his hand and said with a smile: "I should have called you to report that everything was safe, but I forgot about it."

In At the same time as he was speaking, brothers Colin and Maier also noticed the two men sitting on the bed, and their eyes suddenly flashed with fierceness, "Why did you kidnap our father!"

Listening to these two men The brothers screamed, and Hank quickly stood up and stopped in front of them, "Don't be impulsive, you have misunderstood, this is not a kidnapping!"

These words stunned the three Hans brothers for a moment. Lorna and Marcus, who followed behind, also looked puzzled and looked at each other, unable to understand the situation in front of them.

Just now Logan just called them to come over, without explaining the situation to them in detail.

Hank smiled, shook his head, and explained: "You are all wrong, this is just a misunderstanding."

As he said that, he pointed at the white-bearded man , "This is Oyede. He brought me here to study the genetic problem of the X gene. He did not mean to harm me."

After a pause, Hank added: "They have a alien center that specializes in taking in mutants. They called me here because they hope I can cooperate with their center to study these issues, because I was also an expert in this field before. Don't worry, they have no malicious intentions."

< br>After listening to Hank's words, Oyeed, who was sitting on the bed, also realized that these people were Hank's friends and sons, and they chased Hank to find this place.

Understanding this, Oyede stood up and took the initiative to apologize to Logan, "I'm sorry, we were impulsive just now."

No matter what, his companion just said that to Logan Shots were fired.

Fortunately, Logan has a self-healing factor, and the threat to him from firearms is minimal. An ordinary person would probably be dead...

Logan shook his head, "In that case, Everyone can be impulsive."

They are all mutants, and they have many enemies, such as pickets and guys from various biological laboratories, who will pose a threat to them.

In this case, anyone would be nervous if their home was suddenly broken into by a stranger, and they also wanted to attack their partners.

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

After hearing what his father said, Hans felt relieved and turned to complain: "But, if you invite people again next time, , There is no need to be so extreme. In that case, everyone would judge it as kidnapping."

Originally, the three brothers were fine with their father in the wooden house, but the door was suddenly kicked open and they were kidnapped without any reason. His own father.

Anyone who saw that kind of behavior would think it was a kidnapping case.

Oyede smiled awkwardly, "Mainly because we were worried that Mr. Hank would refuse, we thought of taking the people to their destination first. After all, that research is related to the future of mutants. We urgently need Mr. Hank to join us, so they have no choice but to make this decision."

In their opinion, Hank is old and has his own habitat to enjoy his old age, so he should not travel far with them. , instead of wasting your breath, it would be better to take the person away directly.

Then the kidnapping case that Hans mentioned occurred.

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 precisely because he was so focused on research that he forgot to call Hans and the others to tell them they were safe, which led to such a misunderstanding.

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

Hank opened his mouth and 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 need to have a good chat."

Everyone was led by Hank. Went down to the lobby on the first floor.

Oyede also followed, made tea for everyone, poured a cup for everyone, and then left.

He knew that these people needed time to chat now, and he himself also needed to go to bed. After drinking so much wine, he was sober for a while after being stimulated, but now he can't do it anymore.

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

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

Logan now , almost no different from the Logan he saw in X Academy, but he himself has gradually become old and frail, and even has to wear reading glasses to read at night.

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

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

If he had known that this was an error, he would definitely have brought the professor with him. Come, after all, Charles misses this old friend very much.

Hank nodded and said with emotion: "We haven't seen each other for a long time. Is his health okay?"

"Don't worry, everything is fine."

< br>Logan smiled and nodded, "I used to occasionally lose control, but now I don't, and I'm 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. In addition, Maika's identity as a Hydra agent 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 asked Hans to have a little contact with you. After confirming that it is really you, I asked him to remind you to be careful about Micah and don't fall into his trap."

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

Logan understood. He nodded, "You are right to do this. At this age, there is really no need to take the initiative to cause 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, and we will have plenty of time in the future." ."

After finishing speaking, 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 sharp turn. It can even be said to be a full-scale siege. Charles and I They all thought you were in danger a long time ago. "

What 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. Get caught, or have to hide.

As the former director of the Department of Mutant Affairs and a member of the Executed.

Hearing this, Hank smiled and shook his head, sighing: "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 a thorn in their flesh. , any slight disturbance may be the trigger for them to kill the mutants, let alone a tragedy like Westchester's."

"After the incident, I took advantage of the government to start to suppress the mutants. I fled to Canada before."

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

Listening to his words, Logan could imagine how difficult his life has 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. For ordinary people, they might have collapsed long ago.

After hearing these words, everyone fell silent.

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

Looking at the gradually quiet atmosphere, Hank suddenly smiled and waved his hand, "Okay, let's not talk about these sad past events, everything will pass."

After saying that, 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."

"Melani Ni?"

Hearing this name, Logan couldn't help but frown.

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

Looking at Hank's expression of excitement, as if he couldn't wait to get involved In the state of research, Logan couldn't help but frown, and then nodded and said: "Okay, I'm here anyway, I can go with you to have a look."

The reason why he agreed to the invitation was not him. I believe that this so-called alien center is mainly worried about Hank's safety. After all, Hank's body is no longer what it used to be. If he encounters danger, he alone cannot escape. With them taking care of him, it is 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 the few people chatted for a long time in the lobby on the first floor, mostly lamenting some past events. It was not 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.

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. It had not been used for a long time, 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 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 drove the passenger ship , while explaining to Logan and the others.

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 big, but it is not 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 boat and looked at this very modern island, and couldn't help but sigh: "This place must be very safe."

Before he got off the boat, he You can see guards patrolling everywhere on the island. Each one is wearing a uniform military uniform and carrying a standard weapon on his body. And judging from their movements, it is obvious that they have 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 not inferior to any small city in the United States. "

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

Said, Oyede stepped forward and greeted Melanie, "Boss, I brought him back."

Melanie nodded with a smile and looked at Logan and the others. .

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

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

Hank quickly smiled and waved his hand, "I will try my best for the descendants 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 you to come."

"Excessive praise, 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. 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.

In 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. In addition to 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!

Melanie was enthusiastically introducing the situation of the Alien Center to everyone along the way.

"In addition to these facilities, we also have a specialized hospital 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 As for universities, it is not yet universally available. Only some key disciplines such as medicine and economics are offered, but as the place grows, more and more majors will be offered. "

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

Where is this 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 damage caused by transgenes to the Full of shock.

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

She not only wants to build a sanctuary, but she also 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 and said hello 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. Mainly because I want to save someone from Hydra. I wonder if you can agree?"

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

Listening to this, Logan couldn't help but frown, subconsciously. Just want to refuse.

He is still unable to determine what kind of person this Melanie is, and he acts hastily with her. Logan is worried that there is fraud in it.

But before he could refuse, Hank on the side said: "Logan, just promise her, just for my sake."

Listening to Hank's words, Logan was speechless for a while. .

He didn't know what charm this woman had that could make Hank trust her so quickly and even favor her.

But now it was hard for Logan to refuse, so he nodded and said: "Okay, I can go together."

No matter how you say that you and the shelter owe Hank's family a favor, Hank took the initiative to speak, so he could only agree first.

Furthermore, if it can be recognized by Hank, then this Melanie should not have any problems.

Melanie was naturally very happy when Logan agreed. She enthusiastically arranged rooms for everyone and told Logan to take action the next day.

That night, Logan dialed the shelter's phone number in the room, contacted Victor, Charles and others, and informed them of what was going on here, and also told them to be careful in the shelter. , and 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, aiming for the Middle East.

In addition to him and Melanie, Oyede was also on this mission.

As for Hank's family, they stayed on the island. After all, Hank was still busy with research, and the three Hans brothers' conspicuous sizes were obviously not suitable for performing any tasks.

Soon, the plane arrived in the Middle East.

Logan and others got off the plane.

The sun is shining, the dust is flying, and the Middle East is 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."
