Chapitre 77: Chapter 77: Steve’s investigation and participation in the capture of Wolverine!
On an island in the lake in downtown Washington, there stands a majestic three-winged building.
In the director's office on the top floor, Maria Hill opened the door seriously and asked, "Director, what do you want from me?"
She stood in the middle of the office and looked at the man behind the desk.
"This is a document sent from Canada. Take a look."
Nick Fury looked solemn and pressed a button, and a light blue holographic projection was projected in front of Hill.
Hill looked at the projected content. It was a video file with a photo attached.
In the picture, a figure with steel claws is killing everyone in the prison. Even though he looks a little old, he is still like a ferocious wolf, ruthlessly harvesting the lives of the prison guards, and his body is soaked in blood. , like a demon from hell.
The video ends when all the prison guards fall down. Hill turns off the video and looks at another photo.
The photo was taken on a loose road. There was a pool of dazzling blood flowing on the ground, and a white skeleton lying in the blood. It looked like it had been dead for many years, but the clothes on its body were brand new. .
"Is that Wolverine in that video just now?"
Hill looked stunned for a moment.
Although the figure in the video is very similar to Wolverine, she does not believe that it is Wolverine. She prefers to believe that it is a Wolverine clone developed by some laboratory.
After all, the Wolverine in the picture looked obviously much younger, and his sense of strength was obviously stronger. It was really far from the Wolverine in her impression.
However, it was Fury who responded to her with a heavy nod. He said with a serious look: "Judging from the information currently available, it is indeed him."
"How could this happen?"
Hilton suddenly looked shocked, "As far as I know, he looks at least seventy or eighty years old, and his actual age is nearly a hundred years old. His physical fitness has seriously declined, but the guy in the picture is obviously younger and stronger. His The suppressed self-healing factor cannot help him rejuvenate. "
They are well aware of the fact that the government develops genetically modified food to suppress the X gene, and Wolverine is one of the victims. Now he can display the strength shown in the video.
"He may have taken Les' enhanced serum."
Fury shrugged and gave what he thought was the most reasonable explanation, "The current situation is that they have now gone to Canada."
"Return to your homeland?"
Hill smiled, "I thought he would never go back in his life."
Fury also looked helpless, "Who knows what they think? In short, although he is Canadian, he is also on SHIELD's wanted list. We must follow up and investigate this matter."
He added: "But until we find him, you don't need to take action yet."
Hill was a little confused, "Then why did you come to me?"
"That photo." Fury's expression became extremely solemn and he said in a deep voice: "Compared to Wolverine, the murderer in the photo is the key. Obviously, another dangerous mutant has appeared. Before him You have to confirm his identity before continuing to do evil."
In his opinion, Wolverine's counterattack was just the last unwilling roar of an old man who was driving him to death, and the guy who melted dozens of pickets into bones was obviously more threatening.
"Originally, mutants were no longer a thing, but because of the experiments conducted by people like Rice, those dangerous guys were ready to take action again!" Fury said with a look of disgust.
He dislikes these dangerous experiments, but this kind of mutant experiments cannot be stopped. After all, there are many people who want to explore the secrets of the X gene and use it for themselves.
But the problem is, those guys who are obsessed with experiments can't control the products they develop, so emergencies happen frequently, and they have to be solved by SHIELD in the end.
Fury took a deep breath helplessly. Compared to the elderly Wolverine and Professor X, these unknown mutants with unknown identities and terrifying abilities were more worthy of their worries.
"Yes, I will investigate it myself."
Hill also realized the seriousness of the matter, stood up straight and nodded seriously.
Bang!
However, just before she left, the door suddenly opened.
"Investigating what?"
An aristocratic man wearing a high-end casual suit and a mustache walked into the office calmly and sat on the sofa as if no one else was around. "It seems that I missed some major events during my vacation these days."
Fury looked at the man, helplessness written on his face, and scolded: "Tony, I told you to knock on the door before entering my office!"
"I knocked."
Tony looked cynical and fiddled with the ornaments on the table casually, saying indifferently: "Maybe you were too absorbed in chatting and didn't hear."
Fury felt a headache and said helplessly with a sullen face: "What are you looking for me for?"
Tony paused while fiddling with the furnishings, raised his head, abandoned his relaxed look, and asked in a deep voice: "I heard that you lost the spiritual scepter?"
Fury's already dark face instantly darkened a little, "This is SHIELD's business, you have no right to interfere."
Hearing this, Tony snorted coldly, "Oh, at least I carried the nuclear bomb for it, and at the same time, it was also for you and SHIELD!"
Fury was speechless and stared at Tony with his only remaining eye.
Since the Battle of New York, this guy has suffered from severe anxiety and is always particularly concerned about the topic of aliens. It is said that he has been building armor at home day and night to guard against alien attacks. Fury also had a headache about this.
After a long silence, Fury said: "Go home and rest. I will investigate this matter and give you an explanation. But this time it was definitely not taken away by aliens, it should be those bastards from Hydra." , you don't have to worry so much."
Tony didn't speak and had no intention of leaving.
Hill on the side looked at the confrontation between the two and said wisely: "I'm going to leave first. I will report to you if there is any new situation."
After saying that, he opened the door and left, heading straight to the elevator.
But as soon as the elevator opened, he saw Steve Rogers standing alone in the elevator.
"Captain, it would be great if you also come to see Director Fury. Tony is also in his office."
Hill smiled and greeted Steve, and at the same time couldn't help but look back at Fury's office and muttered again: "And I guess they won't finish talking so quickly."
However, Steve made way for a seat in the elevator and looked at Hill, "I'm here to find you. They said you were here with Fury and came here specifically to catch up."
"Looking for me?"
Hill walked into the elevator and stood next to Steve, looking sideways at him in confusion.
"yes."
Steve nodded, and as the elevator door closed and landed slowly, he spoke again: "Are you investigating Logan?"
Hill looked at Steve's gaze, his eyes full of urgent inquiries.
This look made Hill stunned for a moment, and he subconsciously wanted to shake his head and refuse to give any information.
But Steve spoke first: "Don't try to deceive me. I have already investigated clearly. Logan is now accused of being a wanted criminal, but it is obvious that the evidence chain to convict him is insufficient. Now he can only be regarded as a wanted criminal." a suspect."
While talking, Steve handed over a document. These were the results of his investigation these days.
After a pause, he added: "There is also the matter of the last auction. You clearly know that auctioning mutants is illegal, but your SHIELD turned a blind eye. Why is that?"
"In addition, according to the information I investigated, 80% of the people participating in the auction have large amounts of black property, and the remaining 20% are also involved in some black industries, and this There are many officials among them, but you still ignore them. Is this the attitude of SHIELD towards criminals? Chasing and beating a suspect but turning a blind eye to those criminals with sufficient evidence? "
Steve looked grim, obviously angry at SHIELD's actions.
Hill looked at the document handed over by Steve and was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Captain, it seems that you are not an honest and honest American soldier. This kind of information cannot be obtained by ordinary methods."
"Special matters are treated with special treatment."
Steve responded calmly, and then said again: "I request to participate in the investigation of Logan!"
"Watch your words, Captain."
Hill shook his head and said: "When it comes to Wolverine, we are not investigating, but arresting!"
"Even so, I have to be a part of it!"
Steve's eyes were firm, as if he was determined to participate in any action against Logan.
However, Hill shook his head in the end, "Captain, cases involving mutants are very dangerous and complicated. During the years you have been frozen, too many things have happened, and many things cannot be explained to you. Even if I explain them, you may I can't understand it either. In short, don't get involved in this matter, at least not now."
After she finished speaking, the elevator reached the first floor, the elevator door opened slowly, and Hill walked out without hesitation, not giving Steve any chance to refute. Steve looked at Hill's back and muttered in a deep voice: "The Avengers are not affiliated with SHIELD."

…
Mutant Sanctuary Farm.
After dinner, Logan, Victor, and Caliban pushed the professor to Macca's office.
This is a small building located in the middle of the farm. The office is not big, but the facilities are quite complete. There is even a coffee machine, but more of it is still some messy information.
When they arrived, Maika was sitting in the office looking at the documents on the table. After seeing a few people arriving, he enthusiastically invited them to sit down and poured a few glasses of water.
"It's almost time to rest. I won't drink tea and coffee. I can only treat you with these glasses of water."
Maika handed the water glass to several people and sat down on the sofa at the same time.
"Thank you, water will do."
Logan nodded in response, and then asked curiously: "I wonder why you called us here this time? As long as it doesn't violate the principles, I can help."
He could tell that Maika asked them to come over because he must have something to ask for.
Maika said with a smile: "There are indeed some things that need to trouble you, including Professor. I'm afraid you will have to work hard later."
As soon as these words came out, Charles was a little stunned, and then he looked confused: "Although I am happy to help, my current body cannot withstand the torment. If I participate in the mission, it will be delayed."
"No, no, no, you misunderstood."
Maika shook his head repeatedly and hurriedly explained: "Of course I will not assign any tasks to you. Although there is indeed a lot to do on the farm, we are not going to ask an old gentleman to complete these trivial tasks."
This time it confused a few people.
Logan asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Then what do you need the professor to do?"
Maika hesitated and smiled bitterly: "I hope the professor can resume his old career as a teacher and teach the children in the shelter."
"Teaching?"
Charles was stunned for a moment, and then he was flattered and said: "No, no, no, I haven't taught students for a long time. I'm afraid I can no longer become a qualified teacher."
He is almost a hundred years old now. At such an old age, it is difficult to teach any students.
"Professor, please don't be humble. The knowledge in your brain is definitely the most precious treasure in the history of human civilization. I very much hope that it can be passed on and let these children master this knowledge. I think this is what you hope to see." Yes."
Maika looked at the professor expectantly, "If it wasn't impossible, I wouldn't bother you. It's just that the resources of the shelter are limited now. We don't have that much money to hire good teachers, but I don't want to let those children live their whole lives. I can't feel the charm of learning. Fortunately, you are here. I hope you can fill these gaps."
Charles hesitated, glanced at Logan and the others, thought of the little mutants including Laura, and finally nodded, "Okay, but I need two days to prepare. I haven't taught for too many years. I need time." Let's get back to where I was when I was a teacher."
Macca suddenly smiled, "That's great, Professor, I believe the children will like your education very much, and your knowledge will be passed down among them. I thank you on behalf of the children."
Charles smiled wryly, waved his hands, and stopped talking.
Maika looked at Logan and Victor again, "Logan, I hope you and Victor can also serve as teachers in the shelter."
These words once again stunned the two of them, and Victor said bluntly: "I think you must be crazy. He and I don't even have academic qualifications, and we don't know how to teach children."
Both of them are almost two hundred years old. In their time, what they learned was different from what they learn now, and neither of them had any schooling experience.
"No, I hope you can teach me some combat self-defense skills and combat experience."
Maika answered again, and then said with a bitter look on his face: "To be honest, although there are more than a hundred mutants in our shelter, there are only about ten people who are actually capable of fighting, and the others are not too old to be able to fight." In combat, he is still too young and has not fully developed his abilities."
"If we are surrounded and suppressed by government forces, the current combatants alone will not be enough. We urgently hope that you two can improve some combat capabilities for some school-age children and expand the defense force of the shelter."
After Maika finished speaking, he looked at the two of them with a sincere expression.
Only then did Logan understand the purpose of Maika looking for them. He thought he was going to arrange a task, but he didn't expect that they would be asked to serve as teachers in the shelter.
After thinking for a while, Logan nodded and said: "If we just teach combat ability and combat experience, Victor and I can do it."
Both of them fought from World War II to the present. In terms of combat experience, I am afraid that no one has more combat experience than them.
"grateful."
Maika breathed a sigh of relief again, and finally looked at Caliban with a smile on his face, "Caliban, although I can't arrange anything for you now, your abilities are very important to our sanctuary and we need to rescue other mutants. I'm afraid I need you to take action when the time comes, and I hope you won't refuse. Of course, don't worry, it's just tracking, and we will try our best to avoid putting you in danger. "
Caliban heard the importance Maika attached to him in his words, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face, "Of course, don't worry, I can do anything as long as safety can be guaranteed."
Maika nodded with a smile, and smiled sincerely at a few people: "Thank you for your help to the shelter."
Logan smiled and waved his hand, "Now that we are also members of the shelter, it is our duty to do what we can."
After saying that, he suddenly thought of something and said with some worry: "By the way, is there any way you can get some medicine? The professor suffers from Alzheimer's disease and needs medication, but we don't have much medicine left."
Without drug suppression, Logan was worried that the professor would erupt in a state of confusion that could destroy the entire sanctuary.
"This is a small matter."
Maika smiled and said: "The medicines in our clinic are very complete. Basically, there are all the commonly used medicines on the market. If you need them, you can just register and get them."
After establishing the shelter, Maika clearly understood the importance of medicine reserves. Many medicine shelters have preparations to prevent various accidents.
Logan and Charles couldn't help but look at each other and immediately relaxed a lot.
Medicines have always been what troubles them the most, and today's professors can't live without those medicines.
"Thank you." Charles and Logan quickly nodded their thanks.
Maika smiled and waved his hand, and then chatted with a few people about some basic conditions of the shelter. By the time the chat ended, the sky was completely dark, the moon hung high, and the sky was full of stars.
Logan and others said goodbye to Macca and pushed the professor back to rest.
When he returned to his residence, Logan couldn't help but ask: "What do you think of Micah?"
Caliban thought for a moment and nodded: "I think he's pretty good and he's very good to the people in the shelter."
Victor was silent for a while and murmured: "I always feel that guy is a bit scheming, but overall he's not bad."
Listening to the two answers, Logan nodded thoughtfully, and finally looked at Charles, "Professor, how do you feel?"
Charles thought for a moment and nodded: "So far, I don't feel any malice from his soul."
He can see through people's hearts, and he can tell whether some people are friendly to him, and the impression given to him by Maika is that he is not a bad person.
Logan then breathed a sigh of relief, "Professor, I hope your intuition is right."
Caliban couldn't help but roll his eyes at Logan, "Logan, your burden is getting smaller and smaller. After so many years of running away, we finally found a place with a place to sleep, food to eat, not hot, not noisy, and beautiful scenery." , and you don't have to worry about finding pickets outside the door when you wake up, so don't think too much about it and just stay here."
Logan smiled bitterly, feeling that his years of being on the run had indeed made him too cautious.
Thinking about it, he patted Caliban on the shoulder and said, "Okay, you can take the professor to take a shower first."
As Caliban pushed the professor into the bathroom, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Logan glanced at the sky, wondering who else would come to visit him in the middle of the night.
When she opened the door, she saw Lorna standing outside. She smiled and asked Logan: "We need to go out tomorrow to purchase some supplies for the shelter. Do you and Victor want to go together?"
Before Logan could speak, Victor in the living room quickly stood up, rushed over, nodded repeatedly: "Go, we will definitely go!"
He looked at Lorna with excitement.
After two hundred years, he thought he would never come back, but now that he is back in his hometown, he wants to go out and take a look no matter what!
