ALL NOVEL Chapter 49: Pursuit and Favor
call…
Logan gasped for breath, the bloody steel claws were dripping with blood in the dark night, and the night light hit the steel claws, reflecting bursts of cold light.
He turned to look at Jack. The situation was urgent just now, so he subconsciously stretched out his steel claw.
It only solved the wild boar crisis, but a bigger crisis may be approaching due to the exposure of the steel claws.
Logan looked at Jack aside, only to see a surprised look on his face, with a look of joy for a few minutes, "You...you are a mutant?!"
"You know about mutants?"
Logan frowned. In this era, mutants were a topic that only a few people would talk about.
"certainly."
Jack looked at Logan's steel claws, his eyes shining brightly, "When I was a kid, I often heard about your deeds."
Logan thought for a moment, sighed and put away the steel claws, nodded, looked back at the vast night, and said, "Go back first, it's too dangerous here."
No one knows whether the gunfire just now will attract more dangerous guys.
Jack also nodded repeatedly, but before leaving, he glanced regretfully at the wild boar carcasses on the ground.
These are all good things, but it's too dark now and it's a big trouble to deal with, so I have to give up.
Arriving in town, Logan returns to his hotel room.
The professor had gone to bed at this time, and Laura and Caliban were sitting on the sofa watching TV.
As soon as he entered the door, Caliban noticed the blood on his hands and asked nervously: "What happened? I heard gunshots just now. Did those guys catch up with us?"
Laura's round eyes stared at the blood on Logan's hand with worry.
"fine."
Logan shook his head, walked into the bathroom and washed his hands, and said at the same time: "We just killed a few wild boars that attacked us."
After washing away the blood stains, he wiped the water drops on his hands and said, "We have to get out of here."
Hearing this, Caliban quickly looked over. After all, in the escape life, being able to sleep comfortably in a hotel for one night was a rare treat, and he was not willing to give it up.
"Are you causing trouble again?"
Caliban couldn't help but ask.
Logan shook his head, "It's a little troublesome to explain. We have to go to Nevada quickly."
With that said, he threw the toilet paper into the trash can and quickly packed up his luggage.
He couldn't be sure whether Jack's reaction when he found out his identity just now was a pretense or a sincere one. After all, there are too many smiling tigers like Chris. They may look admiring you on the surface, but they may have been calling you secretly. Call the police.
For safety reasons, he had to take Caliban and the others away overnight.
Logan cleaned up the room, went to the room to wake up Charles, turned off Laura's TV, and told Caliban behind him: "I'll go down and drive, and you will bring the professor and Laura down later."
After instructing Logan, he quickly went downstairs. Just as he reached the top of the stairs, he suddenly noticed a lot of light flashing through the hotel door. A number of black commercial vehicles stopped in front of the hotel. A group of guys who looked not to be trifled with were walking with heavy footsteps. Walking into the hotel.
Logan quickly retracted his body and stood at the foot of the stairs, leaning against the wall.
There was a rough voice in his ears, and someone asked Jack at the front desk: "Have you ever seen a bearded man? He brought an old man, a girl, and an albino patient with him, and his face was as white as a sickly man. "
Logan's heart tightened at the entrance of the stairs. It was obvious that the group of people were coming for him. He carefully clenched his fists, slowly extended his steel claws, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"No."
Jack's decisive answer made Logan slightly stunned.
He didn't expect that the other party would actually help him. After all, mutants are now wanted criminals, and the pursuit of harboring mutants is also not small.
"If you don't believe me, you can go up and see for yourself. Our hotel didn't receive any guests today."
Jack's voice came again, as if those guys didn't believe Jack's response just now.
Logan quickly turned around, ran back to the room quietly, and carefully closed the door.
Caliban, who was packing his things, looked stunned, "What's wrong?"
"Someone is catching up!"
Logan opened his mouth to explain, and at the same time quickly stuffed all the luggage they brought under the bed, decorating the whole room as if no one had been there.
Caliban understood the seriousness of the matter and quickly stepped forward to help.
After restoring the house to its original state, Logan looked around, opened the closet, carried Charles in, and said to Laura and Caliban: "You guys come in too, don't make any sound!"
Laura nodded very cooperatively, and Caliban got into the closet, not forgetting to grab a pistol for self-defense.
Fortunately, the wardrobe is big enough to fit three people.
After closing the closet, Logan quickly turned off the lights and leaned against the door, putting his ear against the door and listening to the sounds outside.
After a while, there was a sound of footsteps outside.
Logan squatted behind the door alertly, his eyes cold and his fists clenched.
At the same time, Jack was holding a bunch of keys, leading the way in front of several burly guys, using the keys to open one door after another.
"I told you, there is no one here."
Jack's impatient voice came, "After looking for so many rooms, you should believe what I say. Are you looking for this one too? Okay, okay, wait, I'll look for the key."
There was a sound of keys ringing, and Logan knew that Jack was deliberately stalling for time.
Logan quickly ran into the back room, quickly closed the door, and listened carefully to what was going on outside.
The door opened and Jack turned on the light.
After the group of people simply glanced at the living room, they no longer wanted to waste time here and turned to check the next room.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, there was no movement outside, and the sound of a car starting could be heard downstairs.
Logan quietly walked to the window sill, opened the gap in the curtains, and let the professor and others out after making sure that the cars were far away.
Several people sat on the sofa and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Were those Dr. Rice's people just now?"
Logan asked Laura.
The girl remained silent, but nodded affirmatively.
Logan frowned and cursed, "Those guys are really haunting!"
I didn't expect that they would find my whereabouts so quickly. They really have a dog nose.
"We have to leave here."
Caliban spoke worriedly. What happened just now made him feel scared. After all, he didn't have much combat power. On the contrary, his ability to chase mutants would make him a sheep falling into the wolf's mouth.
Dong Dong Dong.
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
The people who had just put their minds at ease became alert again. Caliban hurriedly raised his pistol and stared at the door closely.
Logan also walked over carefully, looked out through the peephole, and found that only Jack was standing outside the door. Then he waved his hand with relief, signaled Caliban to put down the pistol, and opened the door at the same time.
"Don't worry, they're gone."
As soon as he opened the door, Jack smiled at Logan.
Logan nodded gratefully, "Thank you."
"You saved my life, this is what I should do."
Jack shook his head, looked at the people in the room, and suddenly smiled: "My wife made a lot of food, I need you to help me get rid of those delicacies, I wonder if you are free?"
Logan knew Jack's good intentions, nodded and said: "I'm very happy, I'll talk to them."
He turned to explain to Caliban and others, "If we set off now, we may run into Dr. Rice's bastards. They have just searched here and will not be back in a short time. It's safe for us to stay here."
Caliban hesitated, and Laura remained silent.
Charles smiled and said: "Then let's go have a meal together. I'm hungry."
