American Comics: Multiverse of Madness.

Chapter 514 The White Queen of the Wasteland

Looking at Wolverine Logan who was becoming more and more unrestrained, Zhang Yi didn't know how to complain for a while.

He didn't think Logan was any trouble before, but judging from the current situation, Luther's evaluation of him was very correct.

This guy who actually led a group of students to act miserably for supplies is obviously no longer the honest and honest Wolverine Logan. Now he has somehow taken advantage of Hou Heixue.

Although he felt very unhappy, Zhang Yi didn't say much. After all, just like Wolverine thought, everyone present would be unable to stand down if he told the truth at this time.

Especially Carla, Pietro and Ashley, these three have suffered and been hungry. If they knew that all this was a scam by Logan, they would not feel comfortable.

And judging from Raven's appearance, it's obvious that she also knows about Logan's plan. Why didn't she realize that this little girl has such a talent for drama before? She looks pretty good at acting.

After drinking up the wine in the glass, Zhang Yi patted Logan on the shoulder and motioned for him to come out with her.

Anyway, there was nothing to eat, and Logan had given himself enough eye drops. There was no need for him to stay in the cafeteria, but Pietro and the others could take this opportunity to spend time with the children.

After walking out of the canteen, Zhang Yi and Luo Gen walked side by side in the corridor.

"Okay, it's all on me. Seeing as you look like this, you really treat these little guys as your own children."

Hearing this, Logan didn't explain anything, but smiled quite freely.

"After the war, I was depressed for many years. I went to the North Pole, Japan, and almost traveled around the world. At that time, I had no goals or plans. I just thought that I would go wherever I went, and it would be worth it if I died on the road.

Later, I met a woman who made me slowly come out of the shadows. She also made me willing to accept this bad world again, and she is my current wife. "

"I know, she also gave birth to a pair of twins, a boy and a girl. I remember that Barton took them to the blood nest. Didn't you think of bringing your wife and children to live here?" Zhang Yi asked.

"It's not appropriate now." Logan shook his head. "None of my children have inherited my mutant genes, maybe they haven't awakened yet, who knows, and I can't even afford to raise these children now, let alone them."

"I have read some of Luther's literature reports. When Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters was established, the alliance allocated a lot of supplies. Why are you still lacking things?" Zhang Yi was a little curious.

"That's how much. Luther originally agreed to give us ten cars of rations every month, but within two months, it was reduced to eight cars. Later, it became less and less. Now we only give it to one car a month." We have five cars, so that’s not necessarily what we have.”

When talking about this, Logan became a little excited.

"Those people have bad hearts, and I couldn't get angry enough to go to Luther, but he told me that the south was hit by a disaster, and most of the supplies had gone to disaster relief. He had no choice but to deduct ours. He also said that it was a loan and would be replenished later. superior.

Listen, are these still human words? I admit that there is a disaster in the south, but do we live a wealthy life? These children are growing up, not to mention that mutants and humans are inherently different, and the expenses will naturally be higher. big. "

Logan is not joking about this. Some mutants eat very large amounts of food. Animalistic mutants like Logan can eat as much as three or four meals for a normal person if they exercise a lot.

And if you were a speedster like Pietro, you would have to eat more, and it would be impossible for you to live frugally like normal people, not to mention that there are all mutant children here, and half-grown children are the time when they have a big appetite.

"You said I plotted against you. I don't deny anything. Although it was just a temporary idea, I didn't mean to deceive you. We really don't have much food on hand. If you don't believe me, I can take you to the warehouse to have a look."

"No, I believe you." At this point, Zhang Yi understood that there was no need for Luo Gen to lie to him, not to mention that he had already sensed it with magical energy.

There is indeed a lot of supplies in the warehouse. Although it is not enough for the children to eat pig food, it is far from as much as imagined. It is estimated that it is only a week's supply.

But it's only been half a month, and there are still more than ten days before the alliance's next delivery of supplies. The food is obviously not enough to keep the children in the school going.

Wolverine Logan sighed and continued.

"Before, I had no choice but to go hunting. Although those dinosaurs and beasts were not tasty, they were meat, but it is different now. The patrol team drove all those beasts out, and hunting was no longer possible. There must be a harvest.”

Hearing Logan's bitter tone, Zhang Yi felt uncomfortable. There was a shortage of food everywhere in the wasteland. Winter was coming soon. Without enough supplies, many people would probably die.

Under this circumstance, it is estimated that before long, the question before Luther will become a classic train question.

The people on the two railway tracks represent the people in the wasteland today. When the only supplies left can only satisfy the people on one railway track, which part of the people should be sacrificed is the problem Luther will face.

This is not very troublesome. The most troublesome thing is that although the wasteland has begun to rebuild, the society has not stabilized yet. If there is a riot or chaos caused by lack of food under the instigation of someone with good intentions, then the chaos will be huge. .

At that time, it is estimated that even Luther and Clark will be unable to face the rioters, and this will also reduce the credibility of the alliance in people's hearts, which is something no one in the alliance wants to see. A glimpse reveals the whole story. Through the information from Logan, Zhang Yi could also imagine how bad the situation in other parts of the wasteland would be.

Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters still has the hero Logan supporting them, but they may not be able to persist here, let alone other places.

Some remote mountain villages or towns may have fallen into famine, so the problem of food supplies must be solved as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yi raised his head and looked at Logan. "I will find a way to get the supplies, but we still have to solve the trouble here first. Logan, take me to meet Emma."

Hearing Zhang Yi's words, Luo Gen's expression froze, but he quickly reacted and nodded slowly. "I knew I couldn't hide it from you."

Under Luo Gen's guidance, Zhang Yi went all the way to the top of the school.

The first floor of Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters is the classroom where students usually attend classes, and the upper floors are the dormitories for students. Different floors are arranged according to gender and age, and the top floor is where the professors live.

Logan walked forward without saying a word. After reaching a room at the end of the corridor, he stopped. After looking back at Zhang Yi, Logan raised his hand and knocked on the door.

The knocking on the door was particularly obvious in the silent corridor.

However, Logan's movement did not elicit any response, and the two people outside the door just waited quietly.

After a long pause, just when Logan thought Emma had rested, a deep voice suddenly came from the door.

"come in."

The voice was as pleasant as a lark, but there was a strong hint of exhaustion in his tone.

Frowning, Zhang Yi's expression was a little complicated, but Logan was already used to it. After getting Emma's response, Logan opened the door directly.

Entering the room, the light of sunset shone on the ground from the window. Looking up from the bed, I saw a beautiful woman lying on the bed, looking at Zhang Yi and Luo Gen with a smile on her face.

"Emma, ​​this is Zhang Yi. I don't think I need to introduce him. He wants to come over and see you." Logan came to Emma's bedside and said softly.

Emma smiled, looked Zhang Yi up and down with her beautiful eyes, and said.

"I was lucky enough to meet you once, in Times Square, but I didn't know at the time that those people were your incarnations."

The battle with the Red Skull caused an uproar throughout the wasteland, and the execution also attracted many people to watch. Zhang Yi was not surprised that the White Queen could watch at the scene.

Looking calmly at the beautiful woman on the bed, Zhang Yi blinked, and everything in the room looked completely different again.

In Zhang Ye's field of vision, an old woman with wrinkles on her face and her whole body reduced to skin and bones was paralyzed on the bed, and the quilt covering her was even more torn.

Thinking about it, Zhang Yi could understand that Emma probably didn't want others to see her current appearance, so she was releasing her telepathic abilities all the time to change other people's vision.

I am afraid that in today's wasteland, there are very few people who can block Emma's ability. In the eyes of almost everyone, she is still the glamorous White Queen.

"Logan, can you let Emma and I talk alone?" Zhang Yi turned his head and said to Wolverine.

Logan didn't speak, just nodded silently. He didn't know much about Emma's current situation, but he could still guess it. At least his nose was not deceived this time.

After Logan left the room and closed the door, Zhang Yi turned his attention to Emma again. This time, he did not deliberately use magic to resist Emma's telepathy.

"So, you've been here like this for all these years?"

"If you are talking about affecting other people's vision and thus changing my appearance, then it is like this. Age is a big secret for women." Emma smiled playfully.

At this time, she looked like a high school student, but the vicissitudes and turbidity in her eyes were very obvious.

After a moment of silence, Zhang Yi slowly asked.

"Ever since I traveled to the wasteland, I haven't seen you take any action. Even when I was dealing with the Red Skull, I was prepared to deal with you, but from the beginning to the end, you didn't take action. Why? "
