Kamen Rider ZZZ, the American comic book spiritual mentor

Lin Nan frowned. He couldn't let this woman leave. If she left, she might bring someone with her. He had to deal with her first, whether she was friend or foe.

Without further hesitation, he made his move.

The enhanced body, like a black panther, burst forth from the bushes, moving so fast that it created a soft whooshing sound in the air.

Unexpectedly, the woman reacted very quickly. Almost the instant Lin Nan emerged from the bushes, she turned around abruptly and swept her trekking pole in the direction of the sound.

The tip of the trekking pole was extremely sharp, reflecting the cold gleam of metal. If an ordinary person were hit by it, they would immediately lose the ability to resist.

But Lin Nan's speed and reaction ability were far beyond that of a novice. He suddenly lowered his body as he lunged forward, dodging the sweeping trekking pole.

Immediately, his left hand moved like lightning, precisely gripping the woman's wrist holding the cane and twisting it forcefully!

At the same time, he locked his right hand around the woman's throat, attempting to subdue her in one fell swoop!

Surprisingly, this woman's fighting skills were not as gentle as she appeared. The moment her wrist was grabbed, she turned around in the direction Lin Nan twisted.

Her wrist, like a white snake, deftly broke free from Lin Nan's control. She took a light step and retreated, her free left hand quickly reaching for the pocket at her waist.

We absolutely must not let her pull out her weapon!

Lin Nan stepped forward and kicked the woman's left arm.

boom!

After a muffled thud, the woman's arm was kicked away, and she staggered back a few steps.

Her body was as supple as a noodle, and she folded backward, did a back handspring, maintained her balance, and landed steadily on the ground.

The moment she landed smoothly, the woman's long legs suddenly exerted force, and her right knee rose up, slamming hard into Lin Nan!

In this brief exchange, Lin Nan realized that this woman was definitely not an ordinary person; her combat skills and experience were extremely profound.

So he stopped holding back, pressed down with both hands, slammed the woman's knees to the ground, and at the same time raised his knees to strike the woman's face!

The force of the blow was immense; the air was compressed instantly, rushing towards the woman's beautiful face and blowing her messy hair.

Just as Lin Nan was about to strike hard, a strong sense of reluctance suddenly rose in his heart, and he forcibly lowered his knee.

In that instant, Lin Nan quickly realized that this woman was no ordinary person; she might be a mutant or a mutated individual, and physical contact could influence other people's thoughts!

With a thought, he channeled the power of the dream capsule into his brain, quickly dispelling the feeling of reluctance.

At the same time, he kicked out and struck the woman hard in the chest.

The woman raised her arm to block, but was still kicked away by the force, her back slamming heavily against a tree stump before she slid to the ground and coughed up blood.

She spoke first: "You're very strong. The professor was right after all."

Lin Nan's heart skipped a beat. Professor?

There are so many professors in the Marvel Universe that it's impossible to determine which side they belong to.

He asked in a cold voice, "Who are you?"

The woman paused for two seconds before finally uttering two words: "Silver Fox."

silver fox?

The name wasn't very familiar to Lin Nan. He frowned and pondered for a moment, but couldn't think of an important character who matched the name and related abilities.

He continued, "What were you looking up just now?"

The woman touched the blood at the corner of her mouth and replied, "The professor sent me here. He said I would meet some interesting people here."

It's that professor again!

Lin Nan didn't relax and continued to ask, "What's the professor's name?"

“Charles Xavier, we call him Professor X.”

With a loud rumble, it was as if a thunderclap resounded in Lin Nan's mind!

Founder of the X-Men! The pinnacle of mental superpowers in the Marvel Universe, a legendary figure!

He noticed the twins! Or did he notice himself?

Lin Nan's eyes sharpened as he re-examined the beautiful woman.

Mutant...Silver Fox...Mind control through physical contact...

Wolverine's lover! That spy, the one who faked his death at Sabretooth's hands!

But the ages don't match up. That was after the Vietnam War. If Silver Fox were still alive, he would be at least close to or over fifty years old, but this woman looks only around thirty.

Overwhelmed by the sheer volume of information, Lin Nan felt somewhat disoriented for the first time.

Chapter 78 Wolverine

Lin Nan suppressed her thoughts and asked, "What did Charles ask you to do?"

Silver Fox observed Lin Nan's expression and forced a smile: "The professor was right after all. You know a lot. His purpose in sending me here is that if we can take those brother and sister away, it would be best to do so."

"If you can't take it with you, I'll help you out as a favor."

"Could I meet that brother and sister? I've met them before, just to catch up."

Lin Nan thought for a moment and nodded: "Let's go."

The two entered the cabin one after the other, with Lin Nan keeping his attention focused on the silver fox to ensure he could react immediately.

The moment Wanda pushed open the door and entered, she saw Lin Nan bring in a strange woman. Her body immediately tensed up, a dark red light flickered in her eyes, and the power within her stirred.

Pietro was also awake, his sharp gaze fixed on the stranger, his leg muscles tense.

Lin Nan waved her hand: "Don't be nervous, she said she's seen you before."

Wanda frowned slightly, sizing up the strange woman. After a long while, she widened her eyes and exclaimed, "You...you're the auntie who shared food with me in the refugee camp!"

"My God! You haven't changed at all over the years!"

Silver Fox was somewhat gratified: "After all these years, you still remember my kindness, Wanda."

Wanda's eyes were slightly red. Her life was full of tragedy and suffering, so even the smallest act of kindness from a stranger was enough to leave a deep impression on her.

She wanted to run over and hug him, but stopped abruptly, turning to look at Lin Nan with her beautiful eyes full of questions.

Lin Nan sensed that Silver Fox wasn't lying, but if this woman was Wolf Uncle's lover, it was best to be more cautious.

"Ms. Silver Fox, do you know how to treat wounds? Please take a look at Pietro."

Silver Fox nodded, squatted down to examine Pietro's legs, and his technique was professional and gentle.

"His recovery is going quite well. The wound has a slight infection, and I brought some things that will come in handy."

She pulled a gun-shaped vial from her bulging waist.

The moment she took it out, she gave Lin Nan a rather amused look.

Lin Nan dodged awkwardly. It turned out it wasn't a gun. He guessed that Silver Fox had taken something out to explain, but instead got a heavy kick from him.

After injecting the medicine, Silver Fox stood up, took out a small piece of paper, and handed it to Wanda.

"Wanda, this is my contact information. If you want to come and find me, please contact me through this."

After speaking, Silver Fox turned his gaze to Lin Nan: "Sir, you won't force Wanda to make a choice, will you?"

Lin Nan shook her head: "Of course not."

Silver Fox nodded: "That's good. I have a friend nearby who I think you need help with, but let me make it clear beforehand that he has a bad temper."

"Although neither of us has a complete memory, his temper is much worse than mine."

Lin Nan frowned slightly. There were far too many mutants with bad tempers. A sense of vigilance rose in his heart, and he asked, "Who?"

Suddenly, footsteps sounded outside. Unlike ordinary footsteps, they were very heavy and carried the momentum of predators.

Lin Nan felt a chill run down her spine and placed her hand on her chest.

“Relax, my friend,” Silver Fox laughed.

Lin Nan ignored it and gently pushed the door open to look.

Approaching was a man, muscular and at least 1.9 meters tall, wearing a dark leather jacket and with short, slightly messy dark brown hair.

His face was resolute, with high brow bones, and a pair of light brown eyes that gleamed with an amber light. His gaze was incredibly sharp, carrying a predatory quality reminiscent of a carnivore.

Although it was their first meeting, Lin Nan recognized him from his feline-like sideburns.

James Logan Howlett, Wolverine!

His childhood idol was standing right in front of him.

One of the core members of the mutant storyline, he has a super healing factor, is nearly immortal, has an adamantium skeleton, and a pair of indestructible steel claws!

It was as if a bulldozer was running in Lin Nan's mind, washing away his original memories.

How did Wolverine end up here, and even become teammates with Silver Fox? This is completely different from the fate of the two of them in his memory.

It seems that the mutant storyline in this world is not entirely the same as the stories he knows.

Silver Fox didn't die; he may have even gained some kind of immortality and joined the X-Men with Wolverine. A strange and inexplicable feeling welled up inside me.

Ms. Silver Fox walked out the door and stood side by side with Logan, introducing him as, "Logan, my partner."

Logan didn't speak, his pupils narrowed as he scanned the boy who looked quite young.

Lin Nan suppressed her thoughts and calmly met his gaze.

Half a minute later, Logan seemed to have had enough and said in a gruff voice, "You're the kid who caused a ruckus at Hydra's base and wiped out the entire search team?"

"Just luck."

Logan's lips twitched and curled up slightly: "It's not just luck."

Lin Nan didn't dwell on the topic and asked directly, "Where was Mr. Logan doing just now? Why didn't he come with Ms. Silver Fox?"

"I went to scout out the situation. Hydra has brought in more manpower and equipment from nearby bases and plans to conduct a large-scale search of this mountain area. I estimate the operation will begin in two days at most."

This news is not surprising. Hydra's influence here has been deeply entrenched and extensive for many years. In their own territory, they would never give up such high-value samples as Wanda and Pietro.

Lin Nan thought for a moment, looked at the two of them, and said in a solemn tone, "I would like to ask you for a favor."
