The Savior of American Comics? I'm the Subspace Evil God!

Chapter 242 Chapter 400 Chapter 401 Logan's Destination, Battle Royale Under the Night
"Well, Logan, you shouldn't regret your decision to join the Subspace Group now, right?"

When Logan Howlett finished speaking, Professor X shook his hand and asked with a smile.

Logan Howlett subconsciously pulled his hand away, hesitated, and then held Professor X's hand tightly again.

"Charles, you're wrong. I'm just a temporary worker now and haven't truly joined the Subspace Group yet... But I don't regret the decision I made back then."

Professor X's smile grew even wider. "I told you that sooner or later, you'll find a safe haven that can shelter you from the wind and rain, and a new home that is willing to accept you... Apparently, this is it!!"

"is it?"

Logan Howlett knew what the other party wanted to say, and then laughed at himself, "But now, apart from my sense of smell, I don't have any other skills that I can show off..."

"Charles, you have no idea how terrifyingly strong young people are these days. Frank, for example, is so strong he doesn't even look human... God knows when Mr. Karl will decide I'm useless and kick us both out."

Thinking back on the battles he had experienced in the past few days, Logan Howlett felt more and more that he was a little behind the times.

This also caused deep self-doubt in the heart of this old man who once regarded fighting as his life.

"No, Logan, absolutely not like that."

Professor X shook his head slightly and said in a firm tone, "Have you ever thought that if Mr. Carl didn't really want to accept you, there would be no need to spend time and effort to settle me here.

He could have paid you a commission and left after you found the lead for him."

"You mean..." Logan Howlett's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he saw hope.

Professor X nodded noncommittally and took the initiative to guide him, "But I want to remind you that if you want to seize this opportunity, you must first treat this place as your new home."

Then, he half-jokingly teased, "Logan, whether I can retire here from now on depends entirely on you."

"Tsk, don't come over here..."

Logan Howlett curled his lips and raised his middle finger towards Professor X, but then both of their faces were filled with hearty smiles.

Ring ring ring——

At this moment, the cell phone in Logan Howlett's pocket suddenly rang.

"It's so late, who would call me at this time?"

Logan Howlett took out his cell phone, only to find the caller was from an unfamiliar number.

He pressed the answer button, but before he could say anything, a panicked child's voice came from inside, "Is that Mr. Logan? Come to [Garden of Eden] quickly, those bad guys want to take Laura away...Ah!!"

With a scream, the phone was suddenly hung up.

"Hello? Can you tell me what happened there?" Logan Howlett yelled into the phone.

"What's wrong, Logan? Who is calling? Did something happen to little Laura?" Professor X asked nervously.

"I do not know either."

Logan Howlett shook his head solemnly. "The only thing the person on the other end of the phone said was that someone wanted to kidnap that little girl... I guess it's probably someone from [Arklay Genetics] who tracked down [Garden of Eden]!!"

"Logan, we absolutely cannot stand by and watch those villains take little Laura away... They will kill her."

Professor X fiercely grasped Logan Howlett's hand and said seriously, "She is your child, and her blood runs through your veins, so you must save her now!!"

"How can I save you?"

Logan Howlett helplessly shook off the other person's hand and roared angrily:

"From [Sokovia] to the [Canadian] border, it's at least 10,000 kilometers. Even on the fastest plane, it would take about a day..."

"What's more, I have no idea where the Garden of Eden is. I only know it's across the North Dakota border and I have to walk about eight miles further... Even if I leave now, by the time I get there, it'll probably be too late!"

Before Professor X could say anything, Logan Howlett suddenly stood up as if he had thought of something, muttering to himself:

"Wait a minute...if Mr. Karl is willing to help, maybe everything is still in time?"

Obviously, he was thinking of the portal that Wanda had used before.

But the problem was, he wasn't sure if Carl would help.

After all, he is just a temporary worker now.

Moreover, apart from using his sense of smell to help find a clue, in the subsequent battles, he was always in the embarrassing situation of being a bystander.

So, it can be said that he did not help at all in this incident.

This made Logan Howlett somewhat unsure about making a request to Carl.

"No matter what, I can only bite the bullet and give it a try."

As if he had made up his mind, Logan Howlett rushed out of the ward like a madman without even having time to explain anything to Professor X.

Professor X was not angry when he saw this. Instead, he breathed a sigh of relief and murmured to himself, "Logan, I knew you would be a good father."

……

A few minutes later.

Somewhere on the North Dakota border.

A spark-sprinkling portal appeared out of nowhere in the darkness.

Immediately afterwards, an open-top all-terrain tactical off-road vehicle jumped out directly from the portal.

"Ms. Wanda, thank you for your help."

Logan Howlett thanked the girl on the other side of the portal solemnly. The girl smiled and nodded, then disappeared along with the portal.

To be honest, Logan Howlett really didn't expect that Carl would agree to his request so readily.

And to ensure that everything goes well, Frank was specially sent to help him.

This made Logan Howlett feel an indescribable warmth and touch in his heart.

After all, it had been a long time since anyone cared so much about his feelings.

buzzing-

During this period, Frank had released three new drones equipped with infrared night vision goggles into the sky, and they flew at high speed in three different directions.

"Don't worry, I believe we'll be able to locate the Garden of Eden soon."

"Thank you, Frank..."

However, before Logan Howlett could finish his somewhat sentimental words, Frank interrupted him with a slam on the accelerator. "You're acting so hypocritically. You're nothing like the Wolverine I know!!"

Then, the off-road vehicle disappeared into the dark night like an arrow.

……

And at this moment, in a camp somewhere a few kilometers away.

A massacre of mutants was in full swing. "Dr. Rice, we've successfully taken control of the situation in this area. I believe it won't be long before we can capture that building..."

The mercenary leader, who was responsible for assisting the Predator Organization in completing the capture mission, pointed at the several mutant teenagers who had been captured across the street and asked uncertainly:
"But is it really necessary to kill all these mutant teenagers?"

"Watch your words, idiot."

Dr. Sandor Rice glanced at the mutant teenagers. Noticing that X-23 was nowhere to be seen, he corrected them with a gloomy expression:

"I'm warning you, they're not children. They're efficient and ruthless killing machines. Even though they haven't fully grown up yet, they can still easily kill your entire family!"

“This… shouldn’t all be like this, right?”

The mercenary leader looked embarrassed, although their principle has always been to get things done for money, without asking why or what the result was.

But right now, if he let them point their guns at these teenagers, he would feel a little reluctant... even if these were all disgusting mutants.

Dr. Sandor Rice suddenly stopped, stared into the other person's eyes, and said word by word:

"I said, except for X-23, get rid of all the remaining damn mutant garbage. I don't want to repeat the same thing a second time!"

"Ming...understand."

The mercenary leader nodded helplessly, then made a downward chopping gesture towards his men.

bang bang bang-

After a few gunshots, the mutant teenagers who had been captured fell in a pool of blood.

Not far away, teams of mercenaries armed with live ammunition were rushing into a five-story building in batches, and on the fourth floor, they were engaged in a fierce battle with the adult mutants guarding the stairs.

"Hurry, kids, remember, don't look back after you land. Run straight into the mountains. We will help you hold off the enemy."

In a room on the fifth floor, a middle-aged woman with long blond hair and a pale face raised her hand to open a window and said to a few mutant teenagers, including X-23, with a sad face:

"I'm so sorry we couldn't protect you... You are the last spark of the Mutant race. I hope you can live a normal life in the future, without having to live in fear like we do."

After saying that, she pointed her palm at the ground outside the window and forcibly activated her mutant ability.

An invisible energy wave shot out from her palm, and a simple staircase made of mud and stones suddenly rose from the ground, slowly climbing towards the window where they were.

However, perhaps due to the influence of the [M43 virus], her mutation ability was no longer as strong as before. She had to stop four or five times before she could finish climbing the earthen stairs that were more than ten meters high.

At this time, her forehead was already covered with sweat, and her face was so pale that it was almost bloodless. It was obvious that she had just succeeded by burning her life.

"Walk."

The woman struggled to squeeze out a word, and then helped the mutant teenagers move out the window.

"Petra, you won't come with us?"

When it was X-23's turn to leave, she asked with a reluctant look on her face.

Although she had only been with the woman in front of her for about a week, she treated them like her own children.

The current situation reminded the little wolf girl of the nurse Gabriela who protected her like a mother when she escaped from the laboratory.

She hates separation... because separation means death!

But she was too young to do anything about it.

“Don’t worry, Laura, I will come to find you later.”

The blonde woman named Petra stroked the little wolf girl's hair, and then urged her to leave quickly via the stairs.

boom--

At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a man dressed like an Indian rushed in with staggering steps.

"Petra, we've run out of bullets. The downstairs is completely lost. Hurry and run away with the children..."

As the man spoke, he moved tables, chairs and other objects from all around to block the door, trying to delay as much time as possible.

But the blood kept flowing out of his abdomen, and soon gathered into a small pool of blood on the ground.

"John, are you hurt?"

After sending the last mutant boy out of the window, Petra approached the man with a concerned look on her face. Looking at the blood flowing from his abdomen, a trace of sadness appeared on her pale face.

"We must buy as much time as possible for those little guys... Besides, with Eden gone, where else can the two of us go?"

John slumped to the ground helplessly and nodded with difficulty. "Yeah, there's no place for us mutants in this world anymore... I really hope those children can be safe this time."

At this moment, a loud shouting and cursing suddenly came from the corridor. It was obvious that the mercenaries had arrived.

Da da da--

Without any nonsense, the mercenaries fired at the door of the room where the two were.

The Indian man named John didn't even have time to say goodbye to his beloved woman before he was beaten to a pulp.

"John..."

Petra let out a wail, and then, before the door was about to be knocked open by the mercenaries, she used the last bit of her strength to activate her mutant ability to control the bricks and stones to completely block the door.

Then she crawled towards John's body with difficulty... because she didn't even have the strength to stand and walk.

boom--

With a loud explosion, a big hole was blown in the thick wall, and then a team of fully armed mercenaries rushed in from the corridor.

"Fu*k! Those little mutant bastards escaped through the window."

The mercenary leader opened the window and looked outside, then instructed his soldiers to chase down the simple stairs.

But just as a few soldiers stepped onto the stairs, Petra raised her hand to remove the remaining force, and the stairs collapsed instantly.

"Ah..."

Several soldiers fell directly from the fifth floor and their life or death is unknown.

"You bitch!!"

The enraged mercenary leader pulled out his gun, pointed it at Petra's head and pulled the trigger.

boom--

After a gunshot, the female mutant's head hit the ground heavily.

"Everyone, put on your night vision goggles and chase them!!"

As the order was issued, a hunting-like battle royale officially began.
