Chapter 18: Encirclement and Counterattack

"Is this the famous Professor X? He looks a lot younger than in the movies."

George thought to himself as he watched Professor X being pushed out of the water tank by Wolverine.

Come to think of it, if the year is 2029 as in the movie, Professor X would be ninety-seven years old, but the actual year is 2009 and Professor X is seventy-seven years old.

"If Professor X can recover his abilities, then his safety will be guaranteed. Even if his abilities cannot be fully restored, as long as his sanity is restored, it can help these children develop their abilities better."

At this moment, he decided to spend more time on healing magic when he went to Hogwarts to study magic in the future.

If modern technology can't cure Professor X, then try using magic.

You know, Professor X is the most powerful psychic in the world.

He can read the thoughts and memories of others without physical contact, and use his psychic abilities to directly deprive and control the thoughts of others while controlling their actions.

If equipped with a brain wave enhancement device, it can even kill all ordinary humans and mutants on Earth.

"New species, new mutants. Okay, Logan, you must help them. They need you!"

Professor X looked at the children standing in front of him, especially the little wolf girl Laura, and couldn't help but shed tears.

He grabbed Wolverine's hand tightly:

"Wait a little longer, wait a little longer, you will have a new family, don't give up on yourself, everything will be fine."

"Then promise me that you won't give up either. They also need your guidance, just like you once guided us."

Wolverine's eyes gradually became firm, as if he had become the fearless fighter he once was.

At this time, George came over and said,

"There is no time to lose. Those people in the experimental base will not let us go so easily. We can't stay here for too long.

Now we split into two groups. Logan and I will go to New York to find a way to rescue Tony Stark.

Professor, Caliban, Gabriela, and Isa, take the children to the North Dakota border and wait for news from us.

Be careful. A copy of Logan has been created at the experimental base. Caliban, you must always keep an eye out for new mutants approaching. If you find any, you must move as soon as possible."

"A clone of Logan?"

Caliban's pupils shrank, and then he pointed to the south:

"If I'm not mistaken, the guy you mentioned is here."

Following Caliban's finger, a long convoy appeared faintly on the empty land in the distance.

George narrowed his eyes and said,

"It's faster than I thought. That's good. I can take this opportunity to solve it. Otherwise, there will be trouble later."

He had long expected the pursuit at the experimental base. With the financial resources and status of Yaklai Genetics, it was not difficult to obtain the corresponding surveillance through local agencies.

It would be impossible for them to hide their tracks with a truck that big.

If it was before, it would be quite troublesome if he was caught up, because even if he could use magnetism to change the trajectory of the bullet and become a super sharpshooter, it would be useless for X-24.

When he runs out of bullets, he will die.

But now it's different. It's not that Wolverine can defeat X-24, but that he knows that Wolverine has an adamantium bullet that was originally intended for suicide, which can be used to deal with X-24.

After killing X-24, there won't be any major danger at the experimental base for the time being. But it won't be that easy to create another Wolverine clone.

In this way, when they go to rescue Tony Stark, they don't have to worry about the children being threatened by the experimental base.

It would be even better if there was a chance to kill Sandor Rice.

"I have a plan"

Turning to look at Wolverine, he quickly recounted his response strategy.

On the other side, Commander Donald, sitting in an armored jeep, was also making strategic deployments through the walkie-talkie.

"Surround the factory building in a moment, and don't let anyone go.

If there is any unusual movement, kill them immediately, especially subject No. 757."

Following his boss's orders, he mobilized all the connections he could and soon found the trace of the truck. He also discovered that the escaped mutants had contacted Wolverine who was living in seclusion in El Paso.

In fact, they already knew about the whereabouts of Wolverine and the Professor.

The reason why they didn't hunt down the two like they did other mutants was because the boss said that letting them live like this would be more painful for them than killing them.

But now that the escaped mutant children are mixed together with Wolverine and his men, it's a bit difficult to deal with.

So after getting the boss's approval, they brought the X-24 this time just in case.

Originally, the boss wanted to come and see the actual combat effectiveness of the X-24 in person, but he was slightly injured in the previous laboratory explosion, and he was also worried about No. 757's marksmanship, so he stayed at the base.

There were more than twenty vehicles in the convoy, which surrounded the dilapidated factory building. Each vehicle was filled with strong men wearing bulletproof vests and armed with live ammunition. After getting out of the vehicles, they held guns and occupied various shooting points. There were nearly a hundred people in total.

At a certain distance from the factory, a sniper was hiding on the roof of an armored vehicle that was about the size of a bus, and inside the vehicle was the ultimate killer, X-24.

"I didn't expect to meet you in this way, Wolverine, my former idol. Hand over those children, and I won't disturb the peaceful life of you and that old man."

Donald took off his sunglasses, put his hands behind his back and looked at Wolverine who was standing alone at the factory door, his tone full of ridicule.

Judging from the look on his face, he obviously didn't take the once famous Wolverine seriously at all.

"I'm sorry, I don't know what you are talking about. This is private territory. Please leave."

Wolverine thought about the time-delaying strategy George had mentioned before, resisted the urge to stab the bastard to death with his claws, and patiently persuaded him.

Donald pointed to the truck at the door:

"You've disappointed me so much. You probably can't afford the price of lying to me."

"I don't know who that truck belongs to, and there's definitely no one here that you're looking for."

Wolverine still denied it.

Donald signaled to his men behind him, and more than 20 people immediately rushed into the factory with guns.

About five minutes later, they walked out of the factory and shook their heads at Donald.

Donald raised his eyebrows when he saw this, looked around, and finally smiled and fixed his eyes on the abandoned water tank next to the factory.

"That's a good idea. I guess they must be there, including the old guy."

"It's just an ordinary reservoir. There's really no one here that you're looking for."

Wolverine's expression changed and he slowly put one hand into his pocket.

Donald ignored Wolverine and directly signaled his men to search the reservoir.

At this moment, Wolverine quickly took out a tube of reagent from his pocket and quickly stabbed it into his arm.
