American Comics: Multiverse of Madness

In the early morning, on the highway on the Texas border, an extended version of the Chrysler E8 sped past.

In the night sky outside the window, the stars were covered by dark clouds. A heavy rain was about to come, and the entire ground was in a state of solidification.

Holding the steering wheel with one hand, Old Wolf Logan kept taking deep breaths. As he moved, bullets were squeezed out of his flesh and fell under the car seat, making a crisp sound.

Zhang Ye and Petra, who were sitting behind him, were very sensible and didn't say anything. They pretended not to hear anything and looked at the scenery outside the window as if nothing had happened.

The atmosphere in the car was very low pressure, and this state had lasted for a long time.

After the last bullet was discharged from the body, Old Wolf Logan suppressed the pain from his body while taking out a bottle of whiskey from the side.

"Drinking while driving is drunk driving." Zhang Ye said.

But Old Wolf Logan didn't react at all. He bit off the bottle cork with his mouth, spit it casually on the passenger seat, and then drank a mouthful directly to suppress the pain in his body.

After drinking, he took a long breath and spoke.

"I have answered the questions you want to ask. If you are fine, you should get off at the next service area."

"Logan, what's wrong with you?" Petra couldn't help asking, looking at Logan who was stiff and kept people at a distance.

Logan glanced at Petra in the rearview mirror and asked coldly. "Do I know you?"

Hearing this, Petra was stunned at first. She couldn't believe what she heard, and then she suddenly spoke. "You don't know me, but I know you. The Logan in my memory is a hero who can't be knocked down by any difficulties."

"Hehe" Logan laughed at himself. Listening to Petra's words, he immediately regarded her as those children brainwashed by X-Men comics. "That's all fake, understand, you don't know me at all, and you don't know what a hero is."

"I know, I know better than anyone else." Petra said seriously. "You are the one who charged at the forefront for the future of mutants, and you defended the dignity and bottom line of mutants. Don't you remember all this?"

"Dignity? Bottom line?"

Old Wolf Logan's hands trembled slightly while holding the steering wheel. At this moment, endless memories came to his mind, but he quickly came back to his senses.

"I don't understand what you are saying, kid. I don't know where you heard these stories from, but I tell you, you are wrong, the world is wrong, and even mutants are just the mistake of nature."

"How can you say that? Mutants are a key link in the future evolution of mankind. Those humans denied us with technology and suppressed mutant genes. Don't you plan to do anything after you know these things?!" Petra frowned.

"Yes, I don't want to do anything." Old Wolf Logan answered without any pause.

"You!"

Petra pointed at Old Wolf Logan, her eyes full of anger and disappointment.

Just when she wanted to continue to say something, Zhang Ye reached out to stop her, and shook his head slightly, indicating that she should not continue.

There was no conversation along the way. As the lights in the distance got closer and closer, a gas station service area soon appeared in the sight of the three people.

Old Wolf Logan slowed down, turned around and drove into the service area and stopped the car.

After the car stopped, Old Wolf Logan turned around.

"Now, get out of the car."

"But." Petra looked at Zhang Ye, hoping he could say something.

But Zhang Ye didn't say a word. He just opened the door and motioned Petra to get out of the car.

"For the sake of these two pieces of gold, I won't charge you for the fare." Old Wolf Logan glanced at Zhang Ye, and then said in a deep voice. "After getting off the car, just pretend you haven't seen me, understand?"

"Understood."

Zhang Ye smiled calmly, turned around and got out of the car.

Standing at the gate of the gas station, watching Old Wolf Logan's luxury car disappear into the darkness, Petra finally couldn't help asking the doubts in her heart.

"Sir, why don't you say a word?"

"Will it work?" Zhang Ye turned to look at Petra and said lightly. "Aren't you curious about why Wolverine has fallen to this state, and where have the other X-Men gone?"

"Yes."

Hearing this, Petra suddenly remembered.

For so long, she has never noticed any clues about the X-Men. Logan would never help him if he watched him become like this.

Unless

Petra quickly thought of her own universe, and her face changed and became gloomy in an instant.

In this regard, Zhang Ye did not say much. Although he knew what happened in this universe, there were some things that Petra had to figure out herself.

Besides, this universe was too weird. In the case of not being 100% sure of safety, Zhang Ye planned to let Petra stand in the open, while he himself hid in the dark and waited for an opportunity.

After standing on the side of the road for a while, Zhang Ye took Petra into the 24-hour convenience store in the service area.

Perhaps it was because the place was too remote, or maybe there were few people around late at night, the waiter inside the convenience store was taking a nap, and on the wall behind him, there was a hanging TV playing a TV series.

When he opened the door, the bell at the top of the door rang, immediately waking up the drowsy waiter. He yawned and looked curiously at the two guests who had arrived in the middle of the night.

"What do you two need?"

"Get some beer and some food." Zhang Yi came to the seat in the rest area, sat down, and said to the waiter.

"Can you just take it?" the waiter asked again.

Although there are usually no customers here in the middle of the night, occasionally there will be some drivers with large trucks traveling long distances to rest here, so the waiter didn't think too much about it.

"Just take it and heat it up." Zhang Yi waved his hand, paused and continued. "By the way, where's the TV remote?"

"Wait while I look for it for you."

The waiter first brought a bottle of beer to Zhang Yi's side and placed it on the table. Then he found the TV remote control from the front desk and brought it over. During this period, he kept looking at Petra from time to time, as if he was attracted by her. Attracted by beauty.

I have to say that Petra is really a beauty that meets the American public's aesthetic standards, especially her devilish figure.

When the waiter left to heat the food in the microwave, Petra frowned slightly and said softly. "Isn't there something wrong with the food here? Will there be any accidents if we eat directly?"

"The dose of this thing is not large. Taking it once in a while will not cause any genetic changes. As long as you don't take it for many years, you will be fine."

Zhang Yi stared at the TV and answered casually, then turned his head again. "Of course, if you mind, I have something else to eat."

Zhang Yi took out a hot pizza from the magic space and pushed it towards Petra.

This was what he had bought in the Flashpoint One universe before. Not only was it pizza, but Zhang Yi also bought a lot of things because he was worried that he would go to a universe without food.

She was already used to Zhang Yi's magical methods. Petra took the pizza, opened it and started to eat it. Originally, she wasn't very hungry, but now that she smelled the taste, she realized that her stomach was rumbling. Cooed.

Ignoring Petra, Zhang Yi kept changing channels. After switching through several late-night TV series, the evening news finally appeared on the TV screen.

(.Everyone is asleep, Burt.)

Two men appeared on the TV, and they seemed to be conducting a kind of talk show.

(We are all sleepwalking. All these things, melting glaciers, nuclear sewage, and mutants are all connected.)

One of the men was talking, but he was soon interrupted by the man opposite.

(Clyde, it’s already 2029, why are we still talking about mutants?)

(They're just God's fault, aren't they?)

(Yes Burt, those people were just a blip, but how do you know mutants won't reappear in this world?)

(Oh Clyde, do you know how long it has been since there were no cases of newborn mutant children? According to research by geneticist Dr. Curtis Connors, mutants are just a genetic exception.)

(To be honest, I don’t think so.)

(Although I am not a geneticist or a mutant, I believe that mutants will not disappear. One day they will appear in this world and protect us as they did before.)

(Haha, Clyde, you mean the X-Men?)

(You have to know that the X-Men have long been history. Those stories and comics are just fake. They are stories made up by the writers for children, and since that happened, these comics have been discontinued. )

"It's said to be discontinued, but some publishers are still publishing it."

Just when Zhang Yi and Petra were staring at the TV, suddenly, a strange voice sounded from beside them.

Turning around, I saw the waiter walking over with two plates of spaghetti.

When he noticed that the two of them were looking at him, he probably knew that he had disturbed them from watching TV, so he showed an apologetic expression and spoke.

"Sorry, I just said that casually. I heard that comics were going to be discontinued, so I bought a lot of comics to make a lot of money. But you should be able to tell from my current state that I have lost all my comics. "

Zhang Yi and Petra didn't show any bad looks at the waiter's interruption. On the contrary, Zhang Yi heard the words and took the opportunity to communicate with him.

"Dude, do you know anything about the X-Men?"
