Chapter 20
The situation developed much faster than expected.
Ever since Kennedy made a public speech that day, the Cuban Missile Crisis quickly deteriorated.
In just one day, Mora returned to the castle.
"Charles, we don't have time. According to the intelligence received by the CIA, tomorrow morning, that is, on the 25th, the Soviet Union will send an unarmed cargo ship to cross the Cuban coastal blockade."
Charles immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.
Although this is an unarmed ship, with the current attitude of the United States, it will still be considered a provocation and attacked, and then the Third World War will be inevitable.
At this moment, Logan, who looked fierce, came over in a leather jacket, a cigar in his mouth, and a bottle of wine in one hand.
"....What is this?"
Mora looked at the stranger in front of her, hoping Charles would give her an answer.
"He is Mr. Logan!"
"......"
To be honest, it was difficult for Mora to connect the Logan in front of her with the mighty warrior described by Carl, but she still extended her hand politely.
"Hello, Mr. Logan, I am Mora, a CIA agent. This time, I ask you to arrest Victor."
This made Logan frown.
He did not respond, but just drank and sat on the sofa beside him.
Mora was a little embarrassed, but Charles didn't pay attention to this place.
He quickly called everyone over.
This time, the mutants rarely gathered together, and even Carl called Salvador and Amanda who were far away in Africa.
Although they had only been apart for five days, both of them had changed a lot. They were dressed like cowboys, wearing cowboy hats and long boots. The difference was that Amanda was wearing a leather jacket, which wrapped her whole body tightly, with a long knife behind her, but Salvador was wearing armor that only covered the front of his body, exposing his arms and back, which looked very sexy.
However, both of them had two pistols on their waists, and the bullet clips on their belts were full.
"Wow..."
Seeing the two dressed like this, Alex and Sean's eyes lit up.
"Cool, is this thing real?"
As he said, Alex subconsciously reached for the pistol on Darwin's waist, but was held tightly by Darwin.
At this moment, everyone present could feel the change in Darwin's momentum.
Logan saw it more clearly, that was the murderous aura that only people who have killed people with their own hands have.
At this moment, both of them clearly expressed their attitudes and stood behind Carl.
Amanda no longer even calls Carl Mr. Lance, but BOSS, with a look of loyalty in her eyes!
Because of the life in the past few days, Amanda and Salvador understood for the first time how terrible Carl, who looked like a gentleman, was in that chaotic land.
Charles also felt the changes in the two, but this was not the time to discuss this.
He immediately told everyone the intelligence.
Eric also said excitedly.
"Does that mean we will set off tomorrow?"
"Well, the final battle is coming, Eric!"
"I can't wait!"
At this moment, Logan, who had been listening on the side, suddenly asked.
"So, where is Victor?"
Mora answered.
"In the Caribbean Sea along the Cuban coast, where the blockade is located, Xiao and the others will definitely go there."
"Then how do we get there?"
"Take the CIA plane!"
"Uh... can I refuse?"
Logan looked embarrassed.
"Why, is there a problem?"
Carl said as if he had thought of something.
"Let me take Logan there!"
This made everyone a little confused, and Logan looked surprised.
Mora asked.
"Didn't you say that without the coordinates, you can't open the portal to somewhere?"
"Yes, but won't you have it when you go there?"
"Okay!"
Mora was always at a disadvantage in the confrontation with Carl. She didn't want to make herself bored, and directly stated her deployment.
"Tomorrow morning, Mr. Carl will take you to our CIA airport in Florida. There, we have prepared a supersonic plane. Don't worry, the plane is safe because of his system.
The maker is Hank, and the pilot is also..."
Just after saying that, Maura felt something was wrong, and she looked around.
"Where is Hank?"
Everyone realized that Hank was not here, and Charles directly used his ability and then exclaimed.
"We may have to go to the laboratory to have a look!"
Charles took the lead and walked towards the laboratory, and everyone followed.
Logan was of course not interested, and he was the only one who stood there motionless.
So, after walking out of the meeting room, Raven asked curiously.
"This Mr. Logan seems to be more resistant to flying! ?"
Carl whispered something in Raven's ear intimately, smelling the fragrance between her hair.
Raven smiled and looked incredible.
"Well, it's really unexpected! "
On the other side of Carl, Salvador watched this scene with a calm look.
Whether it was her former identity as a stripper or what she had seen in the past five days, she knew that she should be in a certain position. She would never give up everything she had now and go back to being a stripper.
In this way, everyone came to Hank's laboratory. After opening the door, they saw the destroyed laboratory and Hank, who was all blue. He sat alone next to a silver box, looking at Raven who came in, and said with a more inferior look in his eyes.
"Sorry, Raven, you are right, I failed. The serum did not attack those cells, but strengthened them, making me look like this. Maybe this is my destiny."
Raven understood something, walked over slowly, stroked his blue face like a beast and said.
"No... Hank, it has nothing to do with success or failure. Only what you are willing to accept is the real you. "
Hank glanced at Raven, then at Carl behind Raven.
At this time, Eric also walked up and said.
"Great, buddy!"
He was just encouraging, but unfortunately, he ignored the impression he had left on Hank. What greeted him was Hank's angry claws. If it weren't for Charles's dissuasion, he would have almost suffocated to death. Therefore, Hank officially won the title of Beast.
Hank, who put Eric down, also came to the silver box on the side and opened it, revealing the original X-Men uniforms that Hank had prepared long ago. At present, they have only two functions: one is bulletproof, and the other is pressure resistance.
"Well done, Hank, then get ready, we'll set off tomorrow morning..."
