Chapter 169 Old Wolf

The journey to North Dakota is not short.

Logan and his party were in Kansas before, and to reach North Dakota, they need to pass through Nebraska, South Dakota, and then North Dakota.

The coordinates given by the nurse are in the northernmost part of North Dakota, adjacent to Canada.

That is to say, Logan is crossing the entire American hinterland vertically from south to north.

From the southernmost edge of the United States to the northernmost edge of the United States.

The time in the movie does not seem long, as if it takes a few days to drive to the place, but the actual time is longer than this.

Especially because Charles is still alive, everyone needs to take care of his feelings, find a hotel to stay along the way, and rest at night. It can't be like in the movie, where only Logan and Laura can travel all night without sleep.

This time is even longer.

Therefore, it was three days later when everyone arrived in North Dakota, and it was four days since Kevin posted the video online.

In four days, Kevin gained six skill points in bits and pieces. The first two days were two points a day, and the last two days were only one point a day.

According to this rate, the next few days will only be one point a day, until Kevin can no longer be provided with skill points.

But even so, Kevin's current skill points have returned to above ten points, reaching eleven points.

When the video about Laura is released tonight, I believe he should be able to get a few more skill points.

"Tomorrow, we will probably be able to reach the place Laura said."

At night, in a motel in North Dakota, Kevin leaned on the railing on the second floor and said to Logan beside him.

"I really don't understand why you believe in a place that is only mentioned in comics."

As Logan said this, he took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth.

But soon Kevin snatched the cigarette away:

"Because that place may just be the place where Laura and her friends agreed to meet. Laura wants to find it not only because of the Garden of Eden, but also..."

Kevin threw the cigarette into the trash can beside him: "Your body is no longer suitable for smoking."

Logan, who was about to pick up the lighter, turned to Kevin and asked:

"Who do you think you are? My dad? Go away and don't bother me."

He was about to take out another cigarette.

Kevin grabbed it again, and took his entire cigarette box away, saying:

"I'm not your dad, but I don't want Laura to lose the 'father' she just found."

"Nonsense, I'm not her father."

"From a genetic level, yes, and she now regards you as her father, although you are not a very competent father."

Kevin threw the cigarette box into the trash can and looked down.

At this moment, Laura got a ball from somewhere and was playing with Caliban.

Charles, sitting in a wheelchair, stayed in the distance, watching them with a smile.

If we ignore their identities, the current scene is no different from the daily play of an ordinary family.

After a few days of getting along, Charles's patient teaching, Laura gradually lost some of her wildness.

She would no longer take things without paying, nor would she stretch out her claws when she encountered something unpleasant. Although her attitude towards Logan was still indifferent, she had obviously accepted Logan as her father at the genetic level.

Logan was also watching everything below, and his eyes were full of complexity.

Laura was also a special existence for him.

He had many lovers in his life, but he had no children. Logan never knew what it felt like to have a child of his own.

But now, he seemed to understand a little.

He threw the lighter in his hand into the trash can and said to Kevin:

"She is not suitable to follow us, and you are not suitable to follow us either. When you get to North Dakota and find the person you are looking for, leave."

"Hey, you want to chase me away before we even get there? Didn't you promise to let me see the Phoenix girl?"

"I will give you the address of Jean's grave. Go and see it yourself when you have time. Don't stay with us. We don't have much time left. I don't want to get involved in your affairs."

Charles is not dead yet, and Logan's goal has not changed.

He still wants to buy a yacht and take Charles to the sea to spend the rest of his life.

Even though they have made it clear that they are irreconcilable with the Alkali Group, Logan has never thought about really dealing with the Alkali Group.

Charles' time is running out, and Logan no longer has the ambition he had before.

His ability is gradually deteriorating, and the adamantium in his body is eroding his body every minute and every second.

If this continues, Logan himself will not live long.

He obviously understood this, but he didn't care.

"Your body..." Kevin organized his words, his eyes fell on the truck parked in the corner.

When he noticed the black package containing the "corpse", Kevin continued:

"It's not completely hopeless. X24's body genes are the same as yours. As long as..."

"I don't need it."

Before Kevin could finish, Logan interrupted:

"If you continue like this, you will just linger on."

"You want to die."

Kevin said bluntly.

Logan did not deny it.

He did want to die. He had similar thoughts a long time ago, but his thoughts were not obvious before.

At that time, Logan thought he could hold on, but now... Logan felt that he could not hold on any longer.

And for Logan, who is 197 years old so far, his life has been wonderful enough.

He participated in the American Civil War, participated in the First World War, the Second World War, and dealt with mutants.

He had brothers, wives, and even more than one wife, and more than one person he loved.

He had elders, his own team, and once became the new dean of the X Academy.

With all these experiences, what is he dissatisfied with in this life?

Now, Logan is tired, he just wants to take a break.

He doesn't want to fight anymore. What happened to mutants, what about the future of new mutants, these things Logan doesn't want to care about.

For him, these are no longer meaningful. At the end of his life, Logan just wants to find a stable place to spend the rest of his life and welcome the end of his life.

Kevin knew that no matter what he said, it would be useless for someone who wanted to die.

He was not good at persuading others, or at persuading people who had a good relationship with him, so in the end he could only choose to remain silent.

He silently held his phone and recorded everything in front of him.

Logan did not stop him, nor did he think about smoking. He stood side by side with Kevin, watching the scene below. When he felt that the time was almost up, he stood up and left, saying:

"Charles, it's time to take medicine. In addition...if it weren't for you, we couldn't buy so many medicines, so...thank you."

In the end, Logan thanked Kevin.

The medicine prepared for Charles could only last for three days at most. If Kevin hadn't gone to a nearby hospital and got Charles some medicine to stabilize his condition, Charles would probably have had another attack in the next few days.

Charles' body was already very weak. If he had two more attacks, his body would definitely not be able to hold on.

Kevin's actions extended Charles' life in disguise, so Logan thanked Kevin.

Kevin waved his hand and replied casually:

"I should do it."

He didn't want Charles to die, nor did he want Logan to die, so he would do his best to help them.

But in the end... except for a few skill points, everyone's fate didn't seem to change much.

Charles would still die, the difference was whether he died at the hands of X24 or died in Logan's company in the future.

Logan might still die, the difference was whether he died in battle or lost all his abilities in the end and was killed by the adamantium in his body.

Kevin didn't even know what he had changed. He gained a lot of skill points, but the ending... didn't seem to change much.

Lying on the railing on the second floor, Kevin looked at the square below.

He watched Logan push Charles away, and Laura and Caliban finished playing.

Caliban went to prepare dinner for Logan and Charles as usual, but Laura came to Kevin for some reason.

"Are you shooting a video?"

She walked to Kevin and asked.

Kevin noticed that her eyes stayed on his mobile phone, nodded and said:

"Yes, I'm shooting a video, shooting a video about you."

"I heard from Charles that you are helping us by doing this. Can you really help us?"

"Of course, although it may not necessarily allow you to live a good life in the future, it can at least ensure that the Alkali Group will not continue to do anything to you."

Just letting people know about Laura's situation does not necessarily make Laura live a good life in the future.

But with these videos, more people will know about Laura's experience, and the Alkali Group will not be so blatant in the future.

And if it is handled properly, it is not impossible to directly bring down the Alkali Group.

Even Kevin felt a little pity that the Alkali Group and the Water Group are not in the same world. Otherwise, with the strength of the Water Group, it would be a good opportunity to beat the fallen dog and swallow everything of the Alkali Group.

Kevin was thinking, and suddenly felt that his hand was grabbed by someone.

Looking down, it was Laura who grabbed the sleeve of his hand holding the phone.

"Then, take a picture of me."

Laura said to the camera of the phone.

She didn't really like being pointed at by the camera of the phone before. When Kevin's phone moved over, she would avoid the sight and hide outside the camera.

But now Laura took the initiative to ask Kevin to take pictures of her. It seems that Charles did say a lot to her.

Seeing Laura's serious look, Kevin chuckled.

He raised his other hand and patted Laura on the head, saying:

"Don't do this. It will seem unreal if you take pictures like this. You just need to do what you usually do."

"Is that all?"

"Yes, that's all."

Kevin didn't ask Laura to do too much.

Laura can't act. Forcing her to perform will make people feel artificial.

So Laura just needs to maintain her usual performance. There is no need to do things that meet Kevin's expectations.

In other words, as long as Laura can maintain herself, it will meet Kevin's expectations.

After sending Laura back to the room, Kevin took his mobile phone and flipped through the videos edited in the past few days.

He didn't send any videos in the past two days. He originally planned to send the videos together after finding all the experimental subjects.

But now, Kevin suddenly had an idea.

Instead of telling everyone about the meeting with other experimental subjects through videos, it is better to start a live broadcast directly.

But there is a problem with live broadcasting. The location of the other experimental subjects is in a valley in the wilderness, and there may be no signal source at that time.

"Well... I don't know if we can connect to the satellite network... If not, we can get a live broadcast car?"

Using the satellite antenna of the live broadcast car for relay live broadcast should be feasible.

I just don't know if I will meet people from the Alkali Group tomorrow.

But before that, Kevin has to send out the videos he has arranged in the past few days.
