Chapter 317 16. What?Blind driving?Twelve points deducted!Revoke your driver's license!

The Hautley family's farm was quiet, because the nuclear explosion caused severe desertification in the afternoon, and the wind was blowing. This movement covered up the screams of the Hulk trio who were being "taught" outside the door.

Inside the house, Mason was talking to the family.

The hostess of Hautley's house is obviously not as taciturn as her husband. In the face of these outsiders who saved her family, despite the lack of supplies, she still tried her best to entertain them to express her gratitude.

Halle has befriended the Hautley children and is teaching them how to feed her two big circus dogs.

"Mrs. Hautley, don't be busy. We just passed by here and wanted to ask for directions."

Mason glanced at the old Wolverine who was busy in the kitchen. He knew that the guy didn't want to talk to strangers like himself, so he made a breakthrough on the unhealthy lady in front of him.

He looked at the glass of suspiciously colored water in front of him, pushed it away calmly, and asked in a gentle tone:
"Is a large area around here the territory of the Hulk Gang?"

"Yes, Southern California is controlled by them, they occupy the clean water nearby, and make us pay rent every month to use it.

But their existence is not a bad thing. Going north is occupied by more ferocious Ghost Riders and monsters. Although the Hulks are barbaric, they will also drive them away.

It's hard to live here, but at least you won't die. "

Mrs Hautley sighed.

Sitting next to Mason very tiredly, she felt that this young man was very polite, which is rare in this day and age.

The hardships of life made this once beautiful lady have gray hair, but when Mason noticed the abnormal gray on her face, he realized that the ubiquitous radiation on this land also harmed her health.

"You look like you need medical treatment, and I happen to be a pharmacist."

Mason moved out of his identity as a doctor and offered to take a look at Mrs. Hautley's body. The lady didn't think much about it. She just felt that Mason's image in her heart was better. bottle of potion.

After taking it, he felt drowsy and went back to the bedroom to rest. Until this moment, the old Wolverine, who hadn't shown himself, came out of the kitchen with a burst of anger.

"Get out of my house!"

He yelled at Mason very rudely:
"Take your freaks and leave!"

"Dad! He's helping us, and he's helping mom see a doctor."

The teenage boy may be in the period of rebellion. He is very dissatisfied with the sudden outburst of his father who is always useless. He jumped up to argue with his father.

But old Logan simply ignored his inexperienced son.

He reached out and grabbed Mason's left hand and lifted it up, revealing the golden apple that was still emitting a faint light on the penguin umbrella. He said sarcastically:

"Mind control, huh? Something's coming at me! You bastards!"

"This is just to let Mrs. Hautley sleep better. Her body is almost overwhelmed by various diseases. Logan, your wife is not an 'eternal person' like you, nor is she as hard as you." It is also a good body that can resist nuclear explosions."

Mason made no excuses.

He looked up and down at the decadent old wolf in front of him, and said:

"The medicine I just gave her will make her feel better in the next six months, but I suggest you take your family away from this nuclear explosion desert immediately, at least change to a place where you won't get radiation sickness.

The two children are also here, and I have to help you take a look, this disease cannot be delayed. "

He turned his head and waved to the old wolf's son and daughter.

The two children are not fools.

After watching his father dismantle Mason's trick, the big boy grabbed the shotgun again.

But just at this time, the Son of Hulk's piercing scream came from outside the house, making the boy tremble.He suddenly realized that facing this group of people, an old gun whose rifling was about to be smoothed seemed to be somewhat... er, slightly disadvantaged?

"Mr. K lets you pass, little cuties."

Harry pushed behind them and said sharply:
"My little sweetheart is the most conscientious person in Gotham City, he won't do bad things, but Mr. K, I just showed the two cuties, and they are not affected by radiation sickness.

These two kids are incredibly healthy, like superhumans! "

"Mutant?"

Mason looked at the silent but clenched old wolf in surprise.

In order not to arouse the hostility of the weird old Wolverine in front of him, he took out his Weapon X ID card from his pocket and put it on the table.

He took a step back and said to the old wolf:
"I'm also a mutant, but my situation is special, and this thing can prove my identity, Logan, I'm not here to find trouble, and it actually made me very happy to meet you as soon as I came here.

Believe it or not, you were one of the two people I admired the most as a kid. "

When he heard the word "mutant", old Logan's eyes jumped, and then he looked at the two cards on the table. As one of the former leaders of the X-Men, he could fully identify the authenticity of this thing. Fake.

And when he saw the card of the Weapon X project, the astonishment on Logan's face could not be faked.

He picked up the card and put it in front of his eyes to check some details in a special way. After a few seconds, he looked at Mason and said:
"I thought you were all dead. On that night, I received a signal that the secret project was attacked by Hydra, but you disappeared! You disappeared 17 years ago, and the transfer of outsiders took everyone .

They say you will never come back.

but why?
If you've left this hell, why come back here? "

"Looks like you're finally willing to talk to me, which is great."

Mason pulled back his chair and gave Harry a wink.

Girl Robin immediately grabbed the two children and walked out the door. The children were unwilling to leave, but Halle dragged them away by their collars one by one, so as not to let them disturb the conversation between Mr. K and the old wolf.

"Listen to you, Logan, haven't other outsiders entered here in the past 17 years?"

Mason asked.

Logan, holding the card in his hand, confirmed Mason's identity. He was no longer as repulsive as before, but he was not very enthusiastic either.

Facing Mason's inquiry, he nodded hesitantly and said:
"I've lived here all these years, and I haven't been in touch with the outside world for a long time, but there really isn't any news about outsiders in this world, after all, the great transfer 17 years ago took away almost everything of value.

Only a bunch of sinners are left to rot to death in this hell. "

"how about you?"

Mason asked:
"Why did you stay here? I asked Liana and Anna, and they thought you were dead. Anna also asked me to investigate the tragedy that happened at Xavier College in 17.

She said that an unknown murderer slaughtered all the X-Men in the academy that night, so that they had no chance to participate in the operation against nuclear war.

It even indirectly led to the defeat of the Avengers who needed support.

Do you know who did that? "

"I don't know."

The old wolf lowered his head, moved his lips, and said dryly:
"I missed those."

"Yeah, I also guess you must not be there that night."

Mason sighed and said:
"If you are really here, with your character and vigilance, you will definitely not allow those murderers to kill your companions so cruelly."

"do not talk!"

The old wolf suddenly roared and interrupted Mason's words. Under the surprised gaze of the captain, the old wolf panted and waved his hands as if he lost all his strength at once. He said in a hoarse voice:

"That's not something that makes people feel happy, don't talk about it, talk about you."

He picked up the card and bent it into a very special arc. From this arc, Mason could see a line of hidden text appearing on the card.

The old wolf said to him:
"They gave you a code name in the test, and lo and behold, they called you 'Maia'."

"The god of wind and rain, one of the twelve main gods of Olympus?"

Mason immediately thought of the special situation that it would rain every time he was in a war, and he said with a strange expression:
"It's okay, it's barely suitable, but I'm more used to you calling me Mason, Mason Cooper."

"All right, Mason."

Old Wolf sat down opposite Mason again.

He doesn't quite meet Mason's eyes, but accepts the cigarette offered by Mason, and after lighting it the dour ex-X-Men says to him:
"I guess I guess what you're going to do when you come back, I did work on the Weapon X project, it's a re-creation of my evil project back in the day.

While inheriting the Weapon X name, it wasn't used for nefarious purposes.

This plan, promoted by the Illuminati, is one of a series of prevention plans that were set up after Doctor Strange, Scarlet Witch, and Alien prophet Ulysses successively predicted the situation of "the end is coming".

Its purpose is to cultivate Omega-level mutants through artificial intervention, so as to strengthen our strength to deal with unknown risks. "

"Can this really be done?"

When he heard "Omega-level mutant", Mason sat up straight all of a sudden, and he asked:
"Has the world's technology advanced to that point?"

"No, of course it can't be done, but plans are like this. If you want to swindle enough funds from the Stark Group, you must always conceive in a good direction, with an appropriate exaggeration of [-] points."

The old wolf shrugged, curled his lips and said:

"Facts have proved that the restarted Weapon X project is the same as the one I participated in back then. No matter how we presuppose the conditions, the mutation ability of the X gene is highly uncontrollable.

Therefore, the plan finally turned into awakening as many mutants as possible before the end of the world to increase the strength of the population.

But your nameplate number is relatively high, which means that you are the first three batches of experimental subjects, Mason, and it is rare to have reached the third stage.

This means that if we can really artificially produce Omega-level mutants, then you are definitely one of the closest samples.

But unfortunately, this thing is the same as opening a blind box.

Before you finally complete the third stage to activate the ability, no one knows whether what you have obtained is a mighty power that can control the common people, or just a little trick that is not necessary. "

"Well, I knew it wouldn't be that easy."

Mason sighed, well, I was so excited just now.

The question is who to put in his position, who wouldn't be excited to learn that he might become an Omega-level mutant?That's basically a step up to the sky.

What big super, what Wonder Woman, Kanye will bury you with a wave of his hand.

"You must go to the base of the Weapon X project."

The old wolf returned the card in his hand to Mason. He blew out the smoke ring and said:
"It has been closed since the nuclear war, and with the current situation of the technological water section fault, no one should be able to open it. You must go to complete the final stage of ability awakening.

That place is not far from the former site of Xavier College, I can draw you a map. "

"No, Anna gave me the complete map."

Mason waved his hand, he looked at the old wolf, and said:

"But the current situation is really bad. This new doomsday world seems a bit too barbaric, so if you can, I hope you can"

"No!"

Before he finished speaking, the old wolf rejected him.

"I'm not leaving here again."

Logan threw the cigarette butt under his feet, stamped it out and said:
"Wolverine is dead, Mason, he died that night 17 years ago, when my wife pulled me back from the tracks, and I'm no longer the man you adored as a kid.

I am too old.

I'm too weak, I don't even have the courage to fight against the provocations of the Hulks. Although this disappoints you, I think you may have to go alone. "

Having said that, the old wolf glanced at Mason and said:
"However, you have those three powerful bodyguards, and you may be able to run amok in this wasteland, so you don't need me, a bad old man, to worry about your safety."

The refusal was firm.

There was something in his eyes that made Mason feel heavy. It was said that eyes are the windows of the soul, so the old Logan in front of him was basically equivalent to closing the windows and locking the door, denying everyone from entering his soul.

Mason, who was familiar with Logan's character, knew that this matter was useless, but he still asked curiously before he got up and left:

"Don't you ask me, how are those compatriots who left this world 17 years ago? You should not be such a cold person."

"Don't ask."

Old Logan, who seemed to have lost all wolfishness, waved his hands and said:

"It's definitely better than this hell.

Mason, you see, I really only intend to die of old age in this place, I have no interest in anything outside, and I also thank you for treating my wife and scaring my children.

Please don't bother us if you can, okay? "

"What about the Hulk Gang?"

Mason said:
"Do you need me to do a small favor for the old seniors to eradicate them?"

"If you kill them, others will come, as I said just now, this is hell, Mason, and those who stay here will suffer and rot to death.

We all deserve it. "

The old wolf bent down.

The shadow cast in the dim light is like a broken spine, he said:

"I will find a way to solve this matter. Let's get rid of those three guys. It's troublesome to stay. Banner and I have a little friendship. I'll go to see him and it's over."

"Well, if you insist, but at least I should help you pay the signed rent."

Mason reached out and took out a small bag from the luggage, and put it in Logan's hand. Inside were several golden precious metals. He said:

"There should be a black market in this place that can replace these things?"

"Well, I know what to do."

Logan did not refuse the gift.

Judging from the dilapidated condition of his house, he really needed the money. After getting up and sending Mason out of the house, he whispered to the foreign compatriot:
"On this land, kindness is the most useless thing. Don't hesitate when you encounter things in the past. Violence is the only language left in this world.

Finally, never go near New Babylon. "

After finishing speaking, Logan patted Mason on the shoulder, took his children into the house and closed the door.

Harry walked up to Mason, she chewed the bubble gum and rolled her eyes and whispered:

"This old man hides a lot of things he doesn't want to say. He's afraid to talk to you, sweetheart. He's afraid of something about you. He even looks away when he looks at you."

"Yes, he concealed a lot of information."

Mason nodded thoughtfully and said:
"You have to figure out a way to ask."

"Then we leave now?"

Batgirl leaned on the pillar of the farm and said:

"Go to a nearby city to inquire about news, or?"

"You go first, Barbara will lead the team, and I will stay here alone."

Mason took out the long-unused invisibility cloak and put it on his body, and said to his team members:

"I finally met my childhood idol. It would be a pity to leave without a few autographs."

"team leader!"

Just when he decided to split into two groups, Jaime Reyes, the blue beetle who had been turning around at high altitude to familiarize himself with the newly adjusted combat system of the scarab, fell from the sky.

He put away the mechanical insect wings and pointed to the dusk desert in the distance, and reported to Mason:

"A strange car came over there! The destination is this farm, but the driver seems to be blind"
