In the past two weeks of contact, Klaue sincerely felt that the man in front of him, Xu Luo, who was not good at smiling, was someone worth befriending. Especially since his own daughter also liked Xu Luo, and Xu Luo treated his daughter well, which made Klaue feel even closer. Xu Luo shook his head, "I've already taken the things, used quite a bit of your materials, there's nothing else I need."
He thought of Klaue's fate, being directly killed by Eric, the cousin of Black Panther, also known as the Black Panther. So he reminded, "If possible, don't do anything related to Vibranium anymore. After all, Vibranium is too dangerous, too easy to cause bloodshed. If something happens to you, Elizabeth won't have anyone to rely on. And besides, you're not lacking money now."
Xu Luo didn't directly mention Klaue's fate, after all, predicting the future is not easy to explain. And some things, being able to give a reminder is already a great kindness. Hearing Xu Luo's words, Klaue fell silent for a moment and touched his slightly graying temple. He immediately said, "I understand, I will pay attention in the future." Seeing this, Xu Luo didn't say anything more, "I'm going to sleep, leaving early tomorrow morning." "Okay," Klaue grinned, "Goodnight."
The next day, Xu Luo got up, had breakfast, and packed his things, ready to leave. At the entrance of the cave, Xu Luo rode a motorcycle. This motorcycle was a gift from Klaue to Xu Luo, given that it was a bit far from here to where Wolverine was. Klaue wrapped a stack of money in paper and handed it to Xu Luo, "Brother, take it, you'll need money when you go out. You can't use your previous card anymore, otherwise HYDRA will catch you. I see that you don't have much money on you, so take this." Xu Luo didn't refuse either; he took the money and put it in his backpack, "Thank you. If you have any difficulties in the future, you can come find me." Then he gave Klaue a private email address.
Elizabeth felt a bit reluctant, "Big brother, are you leaving? Can't you stay a little longer with Elizabeth?" Xu Luo touched the little girl's head, "I have things to do, I'll come play with you another time." After hearing that, Elizabeth's eyes brightened, and she extended her little pinky finger, "Promise?" Xu Luo also hooked his pinky finger with hers, "Promise." Elizabeth hugged Xu Luo's neck again, "Elizabeth will miss you, big brother."
After Elizabeth finished hugging Xu Luo, he started the motorcycle. Vroom! The motorcycle roared and sped through the mountains and forests. There were traces of him on the trees around, bullet marks and deep marks from shields were everywhere. These were the traces he left behind in the past two weeks. As the motorcycle raced on, the traces around became fewer and eventually disappeared completely. He left a familiar place.
One day later, a motorcycle was speeding on the road. A man wearing a black helmet was on the bike, with a backpack on his back and a silver shield hanging on the backpack. This person was Xu Luo. He was heading towards the address in his memory. Looking at the fuel gauge on the motorcycle dashboard, he realized it was about to run out. "So fast, the fuel is running out..."
"This gasoline is simply not enough," Xu Luo thought. "If this car had an Ark reactor as its energy source, it would be great. In that case, I wouldn't have to refuel so frequently. It's too troublesome." He immediately headed towards the nearest gas station based on the map in his mind. Xu Luo found mobile maps to be troublesome and inconvenient, so he chose to memorize the entire map of the United States. He only remembered the most important routes and locations such as gas stations, motels, and restaurants, avoiding detailed rural roads, village roads, and city routes due to their complexity. The knowledge in his mind was sufficient, like having the entire national map stored in his head, minus the more detailed local maps.
Soon, Xu Luo arrived at the nearest gas station. After filling up the gas, he went to the open-air restaurant across the street to replenish his energy and just ordered a few plates of beef. He took off his helmet and started eating. Not far behind him, a person was typing rapidly on a keyboard, and the computer screen blocked the person's face. Behind the computer was a woman with sunglasses and a good figure, busy sending messages.
[Nana: I have obtained the recent information about HYDRA's transactions in the south. I will bring it back soon.]
[Fu: Very good, you can return now.]
[Nana: Also, it seems like HYDRA is looking for someone recently. They have mobilized quite a few people. It looks very suspicious.]
[Fu: Have you found out who they are looking for?]
[Nana: Not yet, but give me some more time, and I should be able to investigate.]
[Fu: Okay, after you bring back the information, continue investigating this matter.]
[Nana: Alright!]
Just at that moment, several cars rushed over. A group of men in black jumped out of the cars and rushed towards the woman with sunglasses. These people had steel exoskeletons on their arms. "Capture her! Don't let her escape! We must retrieve the data from her!" The woman saw the group approaching, quickly closed the computer, and stuffed it into her backpack. As she was about to leave, the opponents had already reached her, and punches were thrown. She quickly dodged, and the punches directly smashed through the thick table, sending wood chips flying. She took a deep breath and said, "Damn, it's getting tricky. They all have steel arm exoskeletons."
Bang! Bang! Bang! Both sides engaged in intense combat, overturning and smashing tables and chairs. The scene was chaotic as people eating around quickly got up and ran away without paying. The owner of the restaurant looked at the terrifying steel arms of the opponents and didn't dare to intervene. Meanwhile, Xu Luo paid no attention to the fight behind him. He calmly finished the beef on his plate, left the money, and got up to leave.
