Chapter 17 Border Factory
When George heard Wolverine say this, instead of being worried, he smiled.
Since Wolverine has already considered this, it means that he guessed correctly. Wolverine is just hard on the outside but soft on the inside, and he still wants to help in his heart.
"We need to see what kind of person Tony Stark is before we can judge.
If he is not trustworthy, then you can get a good enough reward from this and leave.
With money, you can take your professor to live the life you want and don't have to worry about us anymore.
So, what do you think? "
"I need to think about it."
Wolverine took out a bottle of liquor from the car seat, drank it in one gulp, then closed his eyes and thought for a long time before slowly replying:
"Okay, I agree to help you, but there is a condition, you can't bring the professor with you.
The professor's situation is not as good as you think. He cannot actively control and use his abilities. Moreover, once he appears in New York, it will cause panic in the government, which will cause more trouble! "
"no problem."
George thought about it and nodded.
He only thought about using Professor X's abilities, but forgot the impact of Professor X's "weapon of mass destruction" entering New York, which might even attract people from SHIELD.
Rather than that, it's better not to bring it.
At worst, the worst that can happen is that Obadiah will be tortured severely. I believe that under the threat of death, the other party will honestly tell the whereabouts of Tony Stark.
Actually, it's a good thing this way. After all, Professor X is still unable to move around easily, so it's much more efficient for him and Wolverine to act alone.
"Then let's get out of here quickly. Those thugs just fired shots. I guess the police will be here soon."
Seeing that George had already reached an agreement, Gabriela couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Then, looking at the bodies of the gangsters on the ground, she hurriedly reminded them.
Wolverine bent down again, ready to put the wheel back on.
"Don't worry, it's precisely because of the gunshots that the police won't come so quickly."
"Well, they are really responsible then."
At this time, George also squatted down, and his hands kept changing gestures:
"Restored to the original condition!"
The repair spell took effect, and the wheel that had been removed was automatically restored immediately.
This was the second spell he could currently cast using gesture casting.
"It seems that you have more than just the Professor's and Magneto's genes in your body?"
Wolverine saw this and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
George smiled and shrugged:
"I'm actually not sure how many genes they put into me."
"Your situation reminds me of a friend who used to be very talkative. He also had a lot of mutant genes inserted into his body and his mouth was sealed."
Wolverine sighed as he recalled the memory deep in his mind.
"Unfortunately, they are all gone now."
"Friends, the old goes and the new comes. Life must go on. Don't be so pessimistic."
George said a casual remark of comfort.
In fact, he has always had a question in his mind, that is, whether the current Wolverine has experienced reversing the future, whether he has the memory of two different timelines, or whether there are no two timelines in this universe at all.
In X-Men: Days of Future Past, if you change the past, the present will change as well.
In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, changing the past simply extends a new timeline and does not change the present.
However, it was not easy for him to ask about this kind of thing now, so he could only wait until he was familiar with it. Wolverine looked at him in surprise:
"It seems you really have some of the professor's genes in you."
After the car was repaired, Wolverine drove the luxury stretched car in front to lead the way, while Isa drove the truck with George and the children following closely behind, all the way towards the border.
The professor's situation was special, so Wolverine hid him in a border area where there were almost no people.
"This used to be a factory run by a multinational smelting company headquartered in Shanghai. It was eventually abandoned due to the chaotic public security situation. Normally, no one would come here."
The car stopped in front of an abandoned factory building on the border, and Wolverine introduced it to George.
It is precisely because El Paso is close to Mexico, and a large number of Mexicans have sneaked in to live there, resulting in extremely chaotic public security, that they have been able to hide without being discovered.
If it were in a city with good public security, it would be impossible to hide.
"Logan, are they?"
At this time, a man wrapped in a scarf and a hat, with only his two eyes exposed, walked out of the factory cautiously and looked at George and the group of mutant children with some confusion.
"Caliban, these children are mutants. Go in first, and I will tell you in detail."
Wolverine waved his hand and led everyone into the factory.
George glanced at the man wrapped in a scarf, and the relevant information flashed through his mind.
Caliban, a mutant with the ability to track the location of mutants, was once a black market merchant who made huge profits by selling the traces of mutants.
He also helped the Yaklai Genetics Company to hunt down mutants for money.
Later on, he suffered from albinism and could no longer see the sun. He began to repent for the crimes he had committed and started to help Wolverine and Professor X hide their tracks.
At the end, after seeing Professor X being killed, he was so grief-stricken that he detonated two grenades and died together with the enemy.
So for now, he is considered a trustworthy mutant.
"No wonder. No wonder he always said that he was communicating with some people and that there were many new mutants. It turns out that there really are. But Logan, are you really determined to do this? Is this dangerous?"
Inside the factory, after hearing Logan's words, Caliban frowned tightly.
He has sympathy for those mutant children, but he is more worried about Wolverine's safety.
There are only three of them of the old generation of mutants, and after all these years of getting along with them, he has long regarded Wolverine and the Professor as his only relatives.
"George is right. Maybe this is the only way to really cure the professor. You know that the water tank cannot trap the professor. This is not a solution.
We need money, better equipment and medicine to treat him.
Besides, I don't believe the Canadian government will treat those children well. There are no good people in the human government."
Wolverine tossed a bag of pills and a card to Caliban.
"These medicines are enough for the professor to use for a month. This card contains all the money I have saved over the years. I originally planned to buy a yacht and take you and the professor to live on the sea.
If something unexpected happens and I don't come back, I'll trouble you to take care of the professor."
"Okay, I know I can't stop you. I can only tell you that if you don't come back, I won't take care of that difficult old guy alone. I will leave him and the money alone."
Caliban took the medicine and the card, was silent for a moment, and finally replied with a smile.
Wolverine smiled after a long time:
"You won't, otherwise you wouldn't have given up all the money you saved and chose to help us."
"It's your turn to give the medicine. I've been busy all night."
Caliban shook his head helplessly, took out a bottle of medicine from the bag and placed it in Wolverine's hand.
Apparently, Wolverine was right about him.
