Chapter 317 16. What? A blind man driving? Deduct 12 points! Revoke your driver's license!

The farm of the Houtley family was quiet, because the land was severely desertified due to the nuclear explosion. The afternoon wind was blowing, and the noise covered the screams of the three Hulk Gang members who were being "taught a lesson" outside the door.

In the house, Mason was talking to the family.

The hostess of the Houtley family was obviously not as taciturn as her husband. Facing these outsiders who saved her family, despite the lack of supplies, she still tried her best to entertain them to express her gratitude.

Harley had made friends with the two children of the Houtley family and was teaching them how to feed their two circus dogs.

"Mrs. Houtley, 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 much with strangers like him, so he put the breakthrough point on the lady in front of him who didn't look very healthy.

He looked at the glass of water of suspicious color in front of him, pushed it away calmly, and asked gently:

"Is the Hulk Gang's territory all around here?"

"Yes, they control all of Southern California. They occupy the clean water sources nearby, and we have to pay rent every month to use them.

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

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

Mrs. Houtley sighed.

She sat beside Mason very tiredly and felt that the young man was very polite, which was rare in this day and age.

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

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

Mason brought out his identity as a doctor and offered to check Mrs. Hautley's body. The lady didn't think much about it. She just felt that Mason's image in her heart was better. She gladly accepted the captain's consultation and was prescribed a few more bottles of potion.

After taking it, he felt drowsy and went back to the bedroom to rest. Until then, the old Wolverine who had not appeared came out of the kitchen with anger.

"Get out of my house!"

He yelled at Mason very rudely:

"Take your freaks away!"

"Dad! He is helping us, and he also helped Mom with her illness."

The teenage boy may be in a rebellious period. He was very dissatisfied with the sudden outburst of his always cowardly father. He jumped up and argued with his father.

But old Logan ignored his son who was not very experienced in the world.

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

"Mind control, huh? If you have anything to do, come to me! You bastards!"

"This is just to let Mrs. Hautley sleep better. Her body is almost crushed by various diseases. Logan, your wife is not an "immortal" like you, and she doesn't have a good body like you to withstand a nuclear explosion without any problems."

Mason did not argue.

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 much better in the next six months, but I suggest you take your family away from this nuclear explosion desert immediately, at least to a place where you won't get radiation sickness.

Come here, two children, I have to help you and you can see too. This disease can't be delayed."

He turned around and waved to the old wolf's two children.

The two children are not fools.

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

But at this moment, a terrifying scream from the son of Hulk came from outside the house, which made the boy tremble. He suddenly realized that facing this group of people, an old gun with rifling lines almost worn out seemed to be somewhat... uh, slightly disadvantaged?

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

Harley pushed them from behind and said sharply:

"My little sweetheart is the most conscientious person in Gotham City. He will not do bad things. But Mr. K, I just checked the two little cuties. They are not affected by radiation sickness.

These two children are incredibly healthy, just like superhumans!"

"Mutants?"

Mason looked at the silent but clenched fist 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 project identity card from his pocket and put it on the table.

He took a step back and said to Old Wolf:

"I am also a mutant, but my situation is special. This thing can prove my identity, Logan. I am not here to cause trouble, and I am actually very happy to meet you as soon as I come here.

Whether you believe it or not, you are one of the two people I admired most when I was a child."

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 completely distinguish whether this thing was true or false.

When he saw the card of the Weapon X project, the astonishment on Logan's face was even more unfaithful.

He picked up the card and put it in front of his eyes to check some details with a special method. After a few seconds, he looked at Mason and said:

"I thought you were all dead. That night, I received a signal that the secret project was attacked by Hydra, but you disappeared! You disappeared seventeen years ago, and the transfer of outsiders took away everything people.

They say you'll never come back.

but why?

If you've left this hell, why are you coming back here? "

"It seems like you're finally willing to talk to me. That's great."

Mason pulled out his chair and winked at Harley.

Robin immediately grabbed the two children and walked out of the door. The children were unwilling to leave, but Harley dragged them away by their collars one by one, preventing them from disturbing the conversation between Mr. K and the old wolf.

"As you say, Logan, no other outsiders have entered here in the past seventeen 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 have been living here these years and have not had contact with the outside world for a long time. However, there is indeed no news about outsiders in this world. After all, the great transfer seventeen 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 do you stay here? I asked Liana and Anna, and they both thought you were dead. Anna also asked me to investigate the tragedy that happened at Xavier College seventeen years ago.

She said that an unknown murderer killed all the X-Men in the academy that night, leaving them with no chance to participate in the fight 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 in a dry tone:

"I missed those."

"Yeah, I guess you weren't there that night."

Mason sighed and said:

"If you were really here, with your character and vigilance, you would 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 had suddenly lost all strength. He said hoarsely:

"That's not something that makes people feel happy. Stop talking about it. Talk about you."

He picked up the card and bent it into a very special arc. At 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 during the experiment, 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 where it would rain every time he fought, and he said with a strange expression:

"It's okay, it barely fits, but I'm more used to you calling me Mason, Mason Cooper."

"Okay, Mason."

The old wolf sat opposite Mason again.

He didn't quite meet Mason's eyes, but he accepted the cigarette offered by Mason, and after lighting it, the languid ex-X-Men said to him:

"I can probably guess what you're going to do when you come back. I did participate in the Weapon X project. It was re-created based on my evil project back then.

Although it inherited the Weapon X name, it was not used for nefarious purposes.

This plan is promoted by the Illuminati and is one of a series of preventive plans established after Doctor Strange, Scarlet Witch and the Inhuman Prophet Ulysses successively predicted the "end of the world".

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

"Can this really be done?"

When he heard "Omega-level mutants", Mason sat up straight and 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 defraud the Stark Group of enough funds, you must always think in a good direction and exaggerate it appropriately."

The old wolf shrugged and curled his lips and said:

“It turns out that the restarted Weapon

So the plan eventually turned into awakening as many mutants as possible before the end of the world to strengthen the population.

However, your nameplate number is relatively high, which means that you are an experimental subject in the first three batches, Mason, and you have rarely reached the third stage.

This means that if we can really artificially create omega-level mutants, you are definitely one of the samples closest to the target.

But unfortunately, this thing is just like opening a blind box.

Before you finally complete the third stage and unlock your abilities, no one knows whether what you have gained is a great power that can control the world, or whether it is just a dispensable trick. "

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

Mason sighed, okay, 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 is basically equivalent to reaching the sky in one step.

Superhero or Wonder Woman, I will bury you with a wave of my hand.

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

Old Wolf returned the card in his hand to Mason, blew out a smoke ring and said:

"That place has been closed since the nuclear war. With the current fault situation in the technological water section, no one should be able to open it. You must go there and complete the last stage of ability awakening.

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

"No need, Anna gave me the complete map."

Mason waved his hand, looked at Old Wolf and said:

"But the situation is really bad right now. This new apocalyptic world seems a bit too wild, so if you can, I hope you can"

"No!"

Before he could finish speaking, the old wolf rejected him.

"I'm not leaving here again."

Logan threw the cigarette butt at his feet, stamped it out and said:

"Wolverine is dead, Mason. He died that night seventeen years ago when my wife pulled me back from the railroad tracks. I am no longer the man you idolized as a child.

I'm too old.

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

At this point, Old Wolf glanced at Mason and said:

"But with those three powerful bodyguards, you can probably run rampant in this wasteland, so you don't need me, a bad old man, to worry about your safety."

This rejection was firm.

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

Mason, who was familiar with Logan's character, knew that this matter was out of the question, but he still asked curiously before getting up and leaving:

"Why don't you ask me how those compatriots who left this world seventeen years ago are doing? You shouldn't be such a cold person."

"No need to ask."

Old Logan, who seemed to have no trace of wolfishness anymore, waved his hands and said:

"It's definitely better than this hell.

Mason, you see, I really only plan to die in this place. I am not interested in anything outside. I also thank you for your treatment of my wife and your terror of my children.

If you can, please don't disturb us, okay? "

"What about the Hulk Gang?"

Mason said:

"Do you need me to do a small favor for the old man and get rid of them?"

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

We all deserve this. "

The old wolf bent down.

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

"I will find a way to solve this problem. Let's kill those three guys. It's troublesome to stay. Banner and I have some friendship. I'll go see him and forget about it."

"Okay, if you insist on that, at least I should help you pay the rent you signed."

Mason reached out and took out a small bag from his luggage and placed it next to Logan's hand. Inside were several golden precious metals. He said:

"There should be a black market here to exchange these things, right?"

"Yeah, I know what to do."

Logan did not refuse the gift.

Judging from the dilapidation of his house, he really needed the money. After getting up and sending Mason out of the house, he whispered to his compatriots:

"On this land, kindness is the most useless thing. Don't hesitate when you encounter problems in the past. Violence is the only remaining language in this world.

Finally, don't go near New Babylon. "

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

Harley walked up to Mason, chewed bubble gum, rolled her eyes and whispered:

"This old man hides a lot of things he doesn't want to say. He is afraid to talk to you, sweetheart. He is afraid of something in you. He will even dodge his eyes when he looks at you."

"Yes, he hid a lot of information."

Mason nodded thoughtfully and said:

"You have to find a way to ask."

"Then shall we leave now?"

The bat girl leaned against the pillar of the farm and said:

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

"You go first, led by Barbara. I will stay here alone."

Mason took out the invisibility cloak that he had not used for a long time 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 like this without a few autographs."

"team leader!"

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

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

"There's a weird car coming over there! The destination is this farm, but the driver seems to be a blind man."
