Chapter 125: A box of vibranium, Steve's persuasion
The night wind was blowing, bringing bursts of chill.
The entire canyon finally returned to peace, but after a big battle, the canyon was already in chaos.
The mountains that originally stood on both sides had been cut off by most of half due to Maika's ability. All the rocks rolled down and sank deeply into the sand.
Logan stood next to Maika's body and looked at him coldly.
The separated corpse was still bleeding out, and the head next to the corpse still retained the fear before death. The widened pupils were filled with fear. The color of the blood quickly dissipated as the blood flowed out, leaving only a paper-like paleness.
"Logan!"
At this time, Moira's voice came from behind.
Logan looked back and saw Moira, Marcus, and Victor approaching here.
"Why are you here?"
Logan retracted his steel claw, wiped the blood from his face, turned around and walked towards them.
"They were all worried about you, afraid that you wouldn't be able to defeat them, so they insisted on coming over to have a look, thinking they could be of some help, but it looks like the battle is over."
Victor crossed his arms and walked in the gravel-strewn canyon with an indifferent expression. He looked around and raised his eyebrows: "Are you planning to demolish this canyon?"
Looking at this shocking canyon, he couldn't help but feel a little shocked. He subconsciously looked at Maika on the ground.
It has to be said that Maika's strength is obviously very strong. He was able to sustain himself in Logan's hands for so long, and he was able to turn the canyon into such a mess.
Moira also looked at the scene in front of her in shock.
Although he could not see the full picture of the battle, he could infer the intensity of the battle from the post-war scene in the canyon.
At the same time, she couldn't help but glance at Logan and Maika's bodies on the ground.
It was hard to imagine that the two of them could unleash such terrifying strength. It felt like if they were allowed to continue fighting, the entire canyon would be razed to the ground.
"Your strength is really scary."
Moira couldn't help but murmur, and then looked at Logan, "You're not hurt, are you?"
Logan smiled and shook his head, "Even if he was injured, he has already recovered."
With her current self-healing factor, any injuries can be recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye. Apart from the need to recover her physical strength, there is no need to worry about the injuries at all.
At this time, Logan noticed Marcus walking at the back.
He stared blankly at Maika's body on the ground, his face full of disappointment and grief. He stepped forward silently, put Maika's head in front of his neck, slowly closed his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "You choose Wrong way..."
Everyone looked at him silently and said nothing.
They all understand how Marcos is feeling now.
In the past, Maika was the benchmark in their hearts and the belief of all of them. Everyone on the farm worked hard towards his goal, but in the end they discovered that he was actually an out-and-out fool, being teased and bullied. I'll help you count the money after you sell it.
After knowing Maika's true identity, he felt as if his faith had collapsed. Now that he saw his body, he had mixed emotions for a while, leaving only emotion.
Looking at Marcus who was depressed, Logan sighed helplessly, stepped forward and patted his shoulder gently, "Let's go, he's not worth your sadness."
A person like Micah is an extreme egoist. For his own purposes, he can abandon anyone. In his eyes, the people on the farm are nothing more than pawns.
Such a person deserves to die, and showing compassion to him is simply a betrayal of oneself.
After saying that, Logan turned and walked towards the outside of the canyon, and said at the same time: "Lorna and the others have also been rescued. We have to go back quickly and find a new shelter."
Maika is from Hydra, so Hydra must already know the location coordinates of the two farms. If he continues to live there, he may be surrounded by Hydra people again soon.
And Moira's New York underground shelter has been completely destroyed.
If they want to survive, they have to find a safe place to survive.
Marcos nodded, stood up, looked at Maika's body and sighed, "Just wait for me for a while. I'll get a barrel of gasoline. After all, it's an acquaintance."
After speaking, Maika walked towards the car behind.
Although Maika deserved his death for betraying them, Marcos still wanted to send this former benchmark away, at least he didn't want him to die in the wilderness like this. This was considered the last bit of friendship.
Logan nodded and stood aside waiting for him.
After a while, Marcos came back with a barrel of gasoline, poured it on Maika's body, and carefully lit it on fire.
Peng!
With the help of gasoline, the fire was instantly ignited, and Maika's body was completely engulfed in flames. A burning smell filled the air, and the hot firelight illuminated the entire canyon.
After looking at the body in the fire, Marcos breathed out, "Let's go."
After saying that, he turned around and left here.
He had no idea of burying Maika. It would be the best thing to do to burn him to prevent his body from being eaten by vultures in the desert.
Amidst the blazing flames and billowing black smoke, everyone got into the car and left the canyon. The black smoke behind them gradually disappeared on the horizon.
It was already early morning, the moon on the dome was gradually setting, and there was a faint light on the horizon.
Victor drove the car into the city, and they did not look for the Hydra receptionist again.
Now that Charles and the others have been rescued, and Maika is dead, Hydra can no longer threaten them. Naturally, the goods obtained can no longer be handed over to Hydra honestly.
Several people found a hotel in the downtown area to stay and rest temporarily. Logan contacted Steve and informed him of his situation, but Steve asked them to wait where they were and had people from SHIELD come to pick them up.
In the hotel room, after a brief scrubbing, Logan sat on the edge of the bed and looked at the intercepted box.
The box had not been opened at this time, and Logan had no idea what was inside.
But judging from the attitudes of Hydra and Maika towards this thing, this thing is definitely very important.
After thinking for a moment, Logan picked up the box.
The box is very heavy. If it is an ordinary adult, it will require at least both hands to lift it, but for Logan's strength, this weight is nothing.
He placed the box on the table and opened it carefully.
What surprised him was that there were only a few well-packaged metal blocks in the box, perfectly sealed with plastic. Each piece was the size of an arm, reflecting the unique luster of metal under the light.
"Is this... vibranium metal?"
Logan looked at these metal blocks for a moment, and then he guessed what they were made of.
After all, the thing that both Hydra and SHIELD value so much is vibranium metal.
It's just that Logan doesn't have much contact with vibranium, and the only thing he's seen is Steve's buckler.
He picked up a piece of metal.
Although it is separated by a plastic film, you can still feel the coldness of the metal to the touch.
It was very heavy to start with. Although this piece was only the size of a human forearm, Logan felt that its weight was several times heavier than ordinary metal.
Logan couldn't help but reached out and knocked, and the metal made a crisp sound.
"It's really vibranium."
Feeling the feeling in his hand, Logan confirmed that this must be vibranium.
He had fought with Steve, and Steve's buckler felt almost like this.
"No wonder Maika and the others are so concerned about this batch of goods. It turns out to be this treasure."
Logan looked at the vibranium in his hand and couldn't help but murmur.
Except for Wakanda, this thing would be a treasure in any place in the outside world.
Looking at the vibranium, Logan suddenly sighed, shook his head helplessly and said, "Unfortunately, SHIELD probably already knows what this thing is."
Touching the cold vibranium, Logan's eyes were filled with regret.
This time with the intervention of SHIELD, this thing must not be saved, otherwise Logan really wants to keep it. Now vibranium can be of great use to them.
Just as Logan was sighing, there was a knock on the door, and Victor walked in, "Logan, people from SHIELD are here."
"Um."
Logan nodded, put the vibranium back into the box and closed it, "Let's go."
After saying that, he picked up the box and walked out.
SHIELD arranged a special plane for them to fly to Canada, and several people were escorted by SHIELD all the way to Canada.
The people from SHIELD spoke very little on the way, and even looked at them with somewhat ferocious looks.
But Logan can also understand. After all, they have had many conflicts before, and he even killed many S.H.I.E.L.D. agents. These guys are already very restrained without directly attacking them, and Logan doesn't expect them to be able to do so. What a good look.
But fortunately, apart from their ugly faces, they also had all the services they should have. At least they had prepared meals, blankets, etc., so that Logan and the others, who had not slept all night, had a comfortable sleep on the plane.
After galloping all the way, everyone returned to the farm at noon the next day and saw Steve waiting for him on the farm.
In addition to Steve, there are many SHIELD task forces patrolling outside the farm, completely protecting the farm.
"You are finally back."
After meeting, Steve looked at Logan running all the way and hurriedly came up to say hello.
Logan nodded and handed over the vibranium in his hand, "The goods are all here, please check them."
He didn't dare to hand over the things to SHIELD agents. After all, no one knew whether Fury had completely cleaned up SHIELD. If not, there might be Hydra people among those agents. The only way to do this was in person. Leave it to Steve Rogan to feel more at ease.
Steve took the box and took a look, smiled and nodded: "Thank you for your hard work along the way. If these things really fall into the hands of others, they may be turned into weapons that endanger safety."
After saying that, he looked back and asked, "Where is your traitor?"
He already knew that Maika on Logan's side was a Hydra agent, so he cooperated with Logan to eradicate Strucker's base and rescue Logan's people.
And Logan's mission is to help S.H.I.E.L.D. get this shipment back.
This is also the reason why no S.H.I.E.L.D. and Avengers appeared in this interception mission.
Otherwise, if there had been such a big movement, the canyon would have been surrounded by SHIELD people.
Logan shook his head, "I've already killed him. That guy is not weak, and we don't have a restraining collar. The possibility of arrest is too low, so we can only kill him."
Steve naturally hopes to capture Mika and bring him to justice, maybe he can get a lot of information about Hydra.
But Logan didn't want him to live. Even if there was a chance to capture him alive, Logan wouldn't let him live.
After all, he has discovered his heat vision and flying abilities, and this news must not be leaked.
Otherwise, if SHIELD knew this news, they would not care about Steve's obstruction and would definitely capture him for research.
After all, the mystery of the X gene mutation is very important to both Hydra and SHIELD.
As for Logan's killing of Macka, Steve nodded in understanding, holding the box containing vibranium and said, "I'll put this thing away first, you go to the farm first, many people are waiting for you."
Logan nodded, and hurried back to the farm with Victor and others.
At this time, there were obviously many more people in the farm, and it was a little crowded.
After all, now in addition to the people in Macka's farm before, there are also Moira's people, more than 200 people crowded together.
Some of them who knew Logan also took the initiative to greet a few people, but Logan didn't have time to chat with them, and went all the way back to the cottage where he lived before.
In the house, the professor, Caliban, Laura, Lorna and others were all sitting in the living room.
They all knew from Steve that Logan could come back today, and they all gathered here.
After hearing the sound of the door opening, everyone turned around quickly.
Seeing that it was Logan who came back, they all stood up and surrounded him.
Laura even jumped up and flew into Logan's arms, her cute little face full of excitement.
"You are finally back."
Caliban pushed the professor to Logan and the others and looked at him with a sigh.
Although they had only been separated for a few days, they were almost separated by life and death. Both sides were extremely worried about each other. Now that they met again, their psychological anxiety was relieved.
Logan nodded, glanced at everyone, and saw that everyone was safe and sound, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
"No one was injured."
Logan rubbed Laura's head and asked.
When chatting with Stark via video, that guy seemed to say that he had beaten some people. At that time, Logan was very worried whether it was Laura and the others.
Lorna on the side shook her head: "We are all fine, but a few people were beaten. Fortunately, they have all been treated and are fine now."
"That's good."
Logan was relieved.
As long as everything is fine, there is still hope.
"Logan, you don't know, we have been scared these days."
Although he was out of danger, Caliban still looked scared. After all, he was caught by Hydra's people, and his life and death were completely between their thoughts, which almost scared Caliban.
Looking at Caliban's appearance, Logan shook his head helplessly, "It's okay, it's temporarily safe now."
After saying that, he glanced at the patrolling SHIELD task force outside the window.
At least for now, SHIELD is willing to cooperate with them, which means that there should be no conflict between the two sides in a short time, and the enemies they need to face next may be Hydra and the patrol team, and the pressure is relatively reduced.
And Hydra's base nearby was destroyed, and it may be difficult to regroup in this area in a short time. For them, it may be relatively easy for a while.
Everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after hearing this.
Safety is the most exciting thing for them now.
Everyone returned to the living room and sat down, and Lorna poured water for them.
Charles asked curiously, "When did you know Macka's identity?"
From Steve's mouth, he already knew that the reason they were besieged by Hydra was entirely because of Macka.
But what made Charles curious was that Macka was hiding so deeply, how did Logan know?
You know, even his telepathy could not detect the malice in Macka's heart, which was enough to show that Macka was too thoughtful, and sometimes he even deceived himself.
Logan smiled bitterly and recalled the night he met Hans.
If it wasn't for the video provided by Hans that night, he would still be kept in the dark. Even though he had some doubts about Macka at that time, he trusted him more after all.
And it was that video that made him confirm Macka's true identity. It can be said that Hans helped him see Macka's true face thoroughly.
After sighing, Logan told everyone the whole story.
At the end, he added: "The video that the weirdo showed me was the transaction between Macka and Stark, so I can figure everything out."
Hearing this, Charles couldn't help but fall into thought, and after a long time, he said: "It seems that they have been helping us. Maybe they are really his descendants. If we have a chance, maybe we should really go to see him. Even if they are not his descendants, we should thank them in person."
Logan nodded. He knew that the person Charles was talking about was Beast Hank.
And what Charles said was also right. Whether he was Hank's descendant or not, it was true that they helped him, and he should indeed thank him in person.
After chatting for a while, there was a knock on the door. Steve came to invite Logan out for a chat. Logan went out and the two walked in the woods.
"Straker ran away. That guy was very clever. He escaped as soon as we attacked. Our people failed to catch up."
In the woods, Steve walked and spoke, describing the outcome of the incident. "But fortunately, all his men were caught and the nest was completely destroyed. It should be impossible for him to do anything in a short time."
Listening to Steve's words, Logan nodded solemnly, "Thank you for this matter."
If it weren't for Steve's help, he might still have to succumb to Strack and Macca now. After all, they hold Charles's life in their hands.
It was because Steve rescued people that he dared to break up with Maika.
"You are welcome."
Steve smiled and said, "I am happy to participate in the mission to destroy Hydra. These bastards should have been completely wiped out during World War II. I didn't expect that they could persist until now."
Logan just smiled and shook his head, "Not only were they not wiped out, but they became more and more difficult to deal with. Now, I am completely at odds with them."
He looked at the road ahead and sighed.
Hydra will definitely take revenge. After this incident is over, when they find time, they will definitely try their best to deal with him, which makes Logan feel a little worried.
Steve saw what Logan was thinking and said, "Logan, join us and fight alongside me just like we did in World War II. We will help you solve the difficulties faced by mutants and help you protect them." These mutants."
Logan looked up at Steve's serious look and couldn't help but smile bitterly at his innocence, then shook his head, "I appreciate the kindness, but... I really can't agree."
Nowadays, mutants are regarded as a thorn in the flesh. In addition to Hydra, there are also government organizations. They are not willing to see mutants develop and grow.
Even if Logan joins Steve, he is destined to be controlled by the government, and these controls are unacceptable to him.
Listening to Logan's words, although Steve was disappointed, he no longer forced it.
"In this case, I won't say anything more. I hope we won't be enemies next time we meet."
He looked up at the task force around the forest and murmured: "I will temporarily withdraw the SHIELD task force tonight. You can take this time to take people away. SHIELD is very dissatisfied with you now. So this is the only way to do it. In short, just hurry up and take people away before they come back, and I will explain it to Fury."
Logan was stunned for a moment, then smiled. He knew that this was the greatest help Steve could give him at the moment.
After all, it was impossible for so many mutants to leave openly under the noses of so many task forces.
"Thanks."
Logan nodded solemnly to Steve, expressing his sincere thanks to this old friend.
