Chapter 47 Hunting Season
"Professor, why is this happening?"
Caliban looked at Logan curiously. He even envied the changes in him. Everyone wanted to be younger.
"Maybe the healing factor has adapted to the new environment."
Charles looked at Logan and made his own guess.
There is no inspection equipment now, and he doesn't know what the reasons are for these changes in Logan.
After a pause, Charles suddenly said seriously: "But in any case, you have to pay attention in the future. The changes in the X gene must not be known to others."
The X gene has changed, and it has changed in the famous Wolverine. This is heavy news for any laboratory that studies the X gene. If it spreads out, the hunt they encounter will be a hundred times more serious than it is now.
Logan nodded.
He naturally knew this, so he would not use the thermal vision unless it was absolutely necessary.
After talking for a while, Logan looked out the window.
It was already night, and it was pitch black outside the window. The stars began to scatter starlight in the night sky.
He picked up his clothes and walked into the bathroom. He needed to take a shower.
After running around for several days, he was full of sweat and stench, and his sticky body made people feel extremely uncomfortable.
But when he turned on the shower, he found that not a drop of water flowed out.
Logan patted the water pipe, but it didn't work.
"It seems that the water is out."
He frowned and walked out of the bathroom. As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden movement at the door of the room.
Dongdongdong.
Several people turned their heads and stared at the door in an instant. Caliban even reached for the pistol.
Now their crisis is not resolved. Maybe hundreds of people are chasing them. Everything must be done with extreme caution.
Logan walked to the door and looked out through the cat's eye vigilantly. After finding that there was only a middle-aged man at the door, he opened the door with confidence.
"Hello, sir, my name is Jack, the son of the owner of this hotel."
As soon as the door opened, Jack introduced himself with a smile.
Logan looked at Jack, frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"
Jack smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm very sorry, there is a problem with the water pipe in the store, and now the whole hotel is forced to temporarily stop water. This matter should be handled by our hotel staff, but my father's legs have some problems. You know, the elderly always have some minor ailments in their legs and feet, which is really inconvenient to travel, but I need someone to help me. I wonder if you are willing to help me, sir."
After a pause, Jack finally added, "It doesn't need to be too troublesome. Just go a few kilometers away to replace a small section of the water pipe, and it will only take half an hour."
Logan thought about it and nodded in agreement.
After all, he finally got a night's rest during his escape, and he didn't want to have no water to take a shower on this rare night.
Jack nodded gratefully, "Then let's go, thank you for your help."
After that, the two went downstairs, took the shotgun and toolbox, and walked into the night together, passing through a forest.
"Are you here to travel?"
Jack turned on the flashlight and asked sideways.
"Yeah."
Logan looked at the dense trees around him and said nonsense: "My name is James. My father's lifelong wish is to go to the north. Before he died, I decided to fulfill his wish. My brother and my daughter are traveling with me."
"I really envy you." Jack smiled and said, then sighed and said with a little regret, "I also want to travel, but there are too many things at home."
"Time is squeezed out." Logan shrugged and chuckled.
"We can't squeeze it out." Jack looked helpless, "My family has lived here for generations and has been running the hotel for more than 20 years. My mother died a few years ago, and my father's legs and feet are not good. The son and daughter in the family are not easy to deal with. My wife and I have been exhausted over the years."
Logan was stunned for a while, looking at Jack, with some emotion in his heart. The other party's life is exactly what he asked for, instead of fleeing around the world with a group of people.
Sighing, Logan smiled bitterly: "Sometimes a happy family is more important than any beautiful scenery. Your current life is envied by many people."
Jack smiled.
Bang!
However, just as the voice fell, there was a sound of heavy objects hitting the side, accompanied by a burst of animal calls.
"Not good!"
Jack was shocked, and hurriedly pulled Logan to squat, quickly turned off the flashlight, hid behind a tree, put his finger in front of his lips, signaled Logan not to speak loudly, and whispered: "It's a wild boar."
"Wild boar?"
Logan was a little surprised.
Jack nodded, "Wild boars are very common here. They always like to run into the town. Over the years, they have smashed many shop windows and even injured people, making the people in the town anxious. Later, someone organized a hunting season, and the number of wild boars decreased, but they still appear frequently. These guys are extremely irritable. It's not good news to be targeted by them."
While speaking, Jack held up the shotgun and paid attention to the surrounding movements. After waiting for a long time, he made sure that there was no movement, and then he stood up and said: "It seems to have run away, let's go."
Logan nodded and followed Jack.
Their destination was the dispatch room in the forest, where water was diverted from the main pipeline to each household.
As soon as the two arrived, Logan noticed that the pipeline had broken, and a large amount of water was gushing out of the pipeline, splashing continuously, forming streams on the ground.
Seeing this, Jack hurried into the dispatch room and turned off the water valve, and the splashing water pipe stopped.
Looking at the broken water pipe, Jack said helplessly: "This should be the government's job, but the water source government in Link Town never repairs it. Those guys only collect money. Even if we find government officials, it's useless. They will only use various methods to tease us."
As he said, Jack squatted down, opened the tool box and asked Logan to help, removed the broken pipe, and then replaced it with a new one.
"In order to ensure that the town can use water normally, most of the time it is the sheriff and I who repair these pipes, sometimes we have to come in the middle of the night."
While installing the new pipe, Jack couldn't help but complain, "Damn, if the government department doesn't care anymore, I don't think we have to pay the money!"
As he said, the water pipe was assembled, Jack reopened the valve, and the newly replaced water pipe worked normally, and water flowed back to the town.
"Perfect!"
Jack looked at the repaired water pipe with satisfaction and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Bang!
However, as soon as the voice fell, a wild boar suddenly ran out in the night.
The wild boar, which was raised by all kinds of debris in the woods, looked very big. Its sturdy body was like a big bucket, and its black fur was almost completely hidden in the darkness.
The wild boar waved its limbs and rushed towards Jack.
Jack was frightened by the movement in the dark and fell to the ground, and the whole person was in a panic.
With the speed and size of the wild boar, Jack would definitely be injured if he was hit!
Looking at the flying wild boar, Jack was horrified and had no time to react. He could only stare wide-eyed.
Seeing that the wild boar was about to hit Jack, Logan kicked out in a flash.
Woo~
The wild boar let out a dull roar, and its abdominal cavity instantly sank. The more than 150-pound body instantly flew up, completing a perfect parabola in the night and landing heavily.
