Chapter 21 The Professor's Proposal
Just now in the water tank, Gabriela and Isa witnessed the entire battle outside through surveillance, and had a clearer understanding of Wolverine and George's fighting power, and the professor also said something to them.
According to the professor, it is almost impossible to rush to New York, find out information about Tony Stark, and go to the Middle East for rescue in just six days.
Even if it is accomplished, it is fraught with danger.
This is actually risking the lives of Wolverine and George.
Moreover, the knowledgeable professors do not recommend that the children go to Canada and let the Canadian government arrange their future lives.
So after careful consideration and discussion, they decided to completely abandon their previous cooperation with the Canadian government and no longer go to the North Dakota border, but to find a safe place to settle down first.
Then plan carefully how to rescue Tony Stark.
Even if this plan fails in the end, as long as they work together, they can defeat those people in the experimental base who they previously thought were impossible to defeat, and survive with the children.
This time, the opponent came with such a large lineup, but they were beaten and fled in embarrassment.
In the past, they thought it was impossible for them to fight against the powerful Ackley Gene Company alone, but now it seems that it is not completely impossible.
"As expected of Professor X, even if he can't use his abilities, his ability to convince people with his mouth is something that not many people can match."
George's eyes lit up when he heard Gabriela's answer.
Naturally, he very much agreed with Gabriela's decision to rescue Tony Stark in six days. Although he had the advantage of the plot and it was not a life-and-death situation as the professor said, it was indeed not that easy.
New York is a place with complicated forces. Who can guarantee that everything will go smoothly?
If he had enough time to prepare, and his abilities were developed to a higher level where he could deflect sniper bullets, or if he went to Hogwarts and learned a few more spells, his success rate would naturally increase significantly.
The key point is, if he remembered correctly, Tony Stark told Pepper in the car in the movie that he had been locked in the cave for more than three months.
So normally, they don't need to be so anxious.
Or if in the next few months he becomes strong enough and can get some money to buy shares of Stark Corporation, then it seems that it doesn't matter whether he saves Tony Stark or not.
He saved Tony Stark for money, so that Tony Stark could protect them and give them a normal life.
But if they were strong enough and had money, there would be no need to go to Tony Stark.
Because seeking cooperation with Tony Stark will inevitably attract the attention of SHIELD, and being noticed by SHIELD means being noticed by Hydra, which will get him into bigger trouble.
"Six days is indeed a tight time frame. Since you have made your decision, let's leave here first and find a safe place, then discuss what to do next."
George nodded to Gabriela, then led everyone to collect the submachine guns and grenades from the corpses, and then quickly left the abandoned factory.
Under the current circumstances, as long as they leave the border immediately and go to somewhere a little further away, it will be difficult for the people at the experimental base to reorganize their manpower to find them.
Yaklai Genetics can access the surveillance footage of this small border county because it is chaotic enough here and many things can be solved by spending money.
But they are not formal national organizations like SHIELD, FBI and CIA. On the surface, they are just businessmen. It is impossible for them to have influence throughout the United States, otherwise they would have been eliminated long ago.
In the movie, if Donald hadn't used Caliban's tracking ability, it wouldn't have been so easy for him to find Wolverine and teach them.
And now that X-24 has been killed, before a new copy is created, the enemy will probably not come after them again, and they cannot defeat them at all. So if nothing unexpected happens, after this battle, there should be no more movement at the experimental base in a few months, and they can safely re-plan their next plan.
On the highway, Isa was driving a large truck in front, while George, Gabriela, Wolverine, Caliban and Professor X were sitting in the shed at the back with the children, discussing their next destination.
After some discussion, several people summarized the following points.
First, the place they were going to stay next could not be in the city center, as this would easily expose their whereabouts and attract the attention of the government and Yaklai Genetics.
Second, the place where they stay cannot be too remote, because neither the education of these children, nor the medicines needed by the professors, nor their lives can be met in too remote places.
Another thing is that it is difficult to get money in a remote place. If you don't take the route of rescuing Tony Stark, you have to get money to buy Stark shares.
How to make money quickly?
Normal methods will definitely not work. The so-called murder and arson gold belt is naturally stolen from others, such as businessmen and gangs who violate the law.
There are very few people in such remote places, let alone rich people, so naturally they can't make any money.
Third, it can't be too far from New York.
On the one hand, they also need to continue to pay attention to the news about Tony Stark and be ready to come up with a rescue plan as soon as they get any news.
On the other hand, George had his own reason, which was that New York was a place where major events took place, especially with the invasion of the Chitauri in a few years, and he must be nearby for easy observation.
If nothing happens, he naturally doesn't need to get involved. If something unexpected happens, he must make preparations early.
Otherwise, if one day he was practicing magic and the whole earth was destroyed, he would not survive.
"Actually, we can go back to school, back to Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters."
After the summary, Professor X suddenly spoke.
However, Wolverine's face changed when he heard this, and he immediately rejected it:
"No, it's too dangerous. The government is still looking for you. Going back to school would be like walking into a trap."
In fact, what he was worried about was not the government's wanted list.
After all, that happened 25 years ago. They haven't shown up in 25 years. The government leaders must have changed several times, and the current person in charge should have thought they were dead a long time ago.
What he was worried about was that when he returned to New York and to school, the professor would remember those memories that had been deliberately sealed and remember that he was the one who killed all the mutants in the school.
Professor X's eyes instantly shed two lines of tears when he heard this:
"Logan, you know, when you were fighting just now, I already remembered everything, everything that happened.
For the crimes I committed, I should have been deprived of my life.
But now, I want to live, not for myself, but for these children.
I want to recover my abilities, protect the hope of these mutants, and make up for the sins I committed in the past."
At this point, Professor X choked up and continued:
"The brainwave room built by the beast in the school basement can be sealed and a special switch can be activated to block my brainwaves. This way, if something unexpected happens and it gets out of control again, the same tragedy won't happen again."
