Chapter 125 A Box of Vibranium, Steve’s Persuasion
The night wind blows, bringing gusts of chill.

The entire canyon finally returned to peace, but after a great battle, the canyon was in chaos.

The high mountains that originally stood on both sides had been cut off by more than half of their tops due to Maca’s power. All the rocks rolled down and sank deeply into the sand.

Logan stood beside Maca’s body and looked at him coldly.

The separated corpse was still bleeding, and the head next to it still retained the fear it had before death, with fear in its dilated pupils. The blood color quickly dissipated as the blood flowed out, leaving only the paper-like paleness.

“Logan!”

At this moment, Moira’s voice came from behind.

Logan looked back and saw Moira, Marcos, and Victor approaching this side.

“Why are you here?”

Logan retracted his steel claws, wiped the blood off his face, turned around and walked towards them.

“They were all worried about you, afraid that you couldn’t win the fight, so they insisted on coming over to take a look, thinking they could help in some way, but it looks like the battle is over.”

Victor crossed his arms and walked calmly in the gravel-strewn canyon. He looked around and raised his eyebrows and asked, “Are you planning to tear down this canyon?”

He looked at the shocking canyon and couldn’t help feeling a little shocked. His eyes subconsciously looked at Maca lying on the ground.

I have to say that Maca’s strength is obviously very strong. He can hold on against Logan for so long and destroy the canyon like this.

Moira also looked at the scene in front of her with shock.

Although we didn’t see the entire battle clearly, we can infer how fierce the battle was from the post-war scene in the canyon.

At the same time, she couldn’t help but glance at Logan and the bodies of Maika on the ground.

It was hard to imagine that the two of them could unleash such terrifying strength. It felt like if they were allowed to continue fighting, this entire canyon would be razed to the ground.

“Your strength is truly awe-inspiring.”

Moira couldn’t help but mutter, and then looked at Logan, “Are you not hurt?”

Logan smiled and shook his head, “Even if I was injured, I have recovered.”

With her current self-healing factor, any injury can be recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye. Apart from the need to recover her physical strength, there is no need to worry about other injuries.

At this time, Logan noticed Marcos walking at the back.

He stared blankly at Macka’s body on the ground, his face full of disappointment and grief. He walked forward silently, put Macka’s head in front of his neck, slowly closed his eyes, and said in a deep voice: “You chose the wrong path…”

Everyone looked at him quietly without saying anything.

They all understood Marcos’s feelings at the moment.

In the past, Macka was the role model in their hearts and the belief of all of them. Everyone on the farm worked hard towards his goal, but in the end they found out that they were actually complete fools who were teased and sold and still helped count the money.

After knowing Maca’s true identity, he felt as if his faith had collapsed. Now seeing his dead body, he was overwhelmed with emotions and was filled with only regret.

Looking at the depressed Marcos, Logan sighed helplessly, walked up to him and gently patted his shoulder, “Let’s go, he’s not worth your sadness.”

A person like Macka is an extreme egoist who can abandon anyone for his own purposes. In his eyes, the people on the farm are nothing more than pawns.

Such a person deserves to be put to death, and showing mercy to him is simply a betrayal to oneself.

After saying that, Logan turned and walked out of the canyon, saying, “Lorna and the others have been rescued. We have to go back quickly and find a new shelter.”

Macka is a Hydra man, so Hydra must have known the location coordinates of the two farms long ago. If he continues to live there, he will probably be surrounded by Hydra people again soon.

Moira’s underground shelter in New York has also been completely destroyed.

If they want to survive, they have to find a safe place to live.

Marcos nodded, stood up, looked at Macka’s body and sighed, “Wait a minute, I’ll go get a bucket of gasoline. After all, we know each other.”

After saying that, Maika walked towards the car behind.

Even though Maca deserved to die for betraying them, Marcos still wanted to give this former role model a ride, at least to prevent him from being left to die in the wilderness. This could be considered as a final act of friendship.

Logan nodded and stood aside waiting for him.

A few moments later, Marcos returned with a barrel of gasoline, poured it over Maca’s body, and carefully set it on fire.

Peng!
With the help of gasoline, the fire was ignited instantly. Maca’s body was completely engulfed in flames. A burning smell filled the air, and the blazing flames illuminated the entire canyon.

After taking a look at the bodies in the fire, Marcos let out a breath, “Let’s go.”

After saying that, he turned and left.

He had no intention of burying Maca. Burning him and preventing his body from being eaten by vultures in the desert was already the most he could do.

Amidst the raging flames and billowing black smoke, everyone got into the car and left the canyon. The black smoke behind them gradually disappeared on the horizon.

It was already early morning, the moon in the dome was gradually setting, and a faint light was appearing on the horizon.

Victor drove the car into the city and they did not go looking for Hydra’s receptionist.

Now that Charles and his companions have been rescued and Maca is dead, Hydra can no longer threaten them. Naturally, they can no longer hand over the goods they have obtained to Hydra.

Several people found a hotel in the downtown area to rest temporarily. Logan contacted Steve and told him about his situation. Steve asked them to wait there and had asked people from SHIELD to come and pick them up.

In the hotel room, Logan simply washed himself, then sat down on the edge of the bed and looked at the intercepted box.

The box had not been opened yet and Logan had no idea what was inside.

But judging from Hydra and Maca’s attitude towards this thing, this thing is definitely very important.

After thinking for a while, Logan picked up the box.

The box was very heavy. An ordinary adult would need to use both hands to lift it. However, for Logan’s strength, this weight was nothing.

He placed the box on the table and opened it carefully.

What surprised him was that there were only a few well-packaged metal blocks in the box, perfectly sealed with plastic. Each piece was about the size of an arm, reflecting the unique luster of metal under the light.

“Is this… vibranium metal?”

Logan stared at these pieces of metal in a daze for a moment, then he guessed what they were made of.

After all, the only thing that Hydra and SHIELD attach so much importance to is vibranium metal.

However, Logan didn’t have much contact with vibranium, and the only one he had seen was Steve’s round shield.

He picked up a piece of metal.

Although there is a plastic film between us, I can still feel the coolness of the metal.

It was very heavy in the hand. Although this piece was only the size of a human forearm, Logan felt that it was several times heavier than ordinary metal.

Logan couldn’t help but reach out and knock on it, and the metal made a crisp sound.

“It’s really vibranium.”

Feeling the texture, Logan was sure that it was vibranium.

He’d fought Steve before, and Steve’s round shield felt pretty much like this.

“No wonder Maca and the others are so interested in this batch of goods. It turns out to be this treasure.”

Logan looked at the vibranium in his hand and couldn’t help but mutter.

This thing is a treasure anywhere else in the outside world except Wakanda.

Looking at the vibranium, Logan suddenly sighed, shook his head helplessly and said, “Unfortunately, S.H.I.E.L.D. probably already knows what this thing is.”

Touching the cold vibranium, Logan’s eyes were full of regret.

With SHIELD’s intervention this time, this thing definitely cannot be kept. Otherwise, Logan would really like to keep it. Vibranium can be of great use to them now.

Just as Logan was sighing, there was a knock on the door and Victor walked in, “Logan, someone from SHIELD is here.”

“Ah.”

Logan nodded, put the vibranium back into the box and closed it, “Let’s go.”

After saying that, he walked out with the box.

SHIELD arranged a special plane for them to fly to Canada, and they went directly to Canada under the escort of SHIELD.

The SHIELD people spoke very little along the way, and even looked at them with a bit of ferocity.

But Logan could understand it. After all, they had had many conflicts before, and he even killed many SHIELD agents. These guys were very restrained by not attacking directly, and Logan did not expect them to have a good attitude.

Fortunately, apart from their bad looks, all the necessary services were provided. At least meals and blankets were prepared, so Logan and his friends, who had not slept all night, had a comfortable sleep on the plane.

After speeding all the way, everyone returned to the farm at noon the next day and met Steve who was waiting for him on the farm.

In addition to Steve, there were many SHIELD task forces patrolling outside the farm, completely protecting the farm. “You are finally back.”

After meeting, Steve looked at Logan who had been running all the way and quickly came up to say hello.

Logan nodded and handed over the vibranium in his hand. “The goods are all here, please check them.”

He didn’t dare hand the thing over to the agents of SHIELD. After all, no one knew whether Fury had completely cleaned out SHIELD. If not, there might be Hydra members among those agents. He could only feel at ease if he handed it over to Steve Logan personally.

Steve took the box, took a look at it, smiled and nodded, saying, “Thank you for your hard work. If these things really fall into the hands of others, they may be made into weapons that endanger safety.”

After saying this, he looked back and asked, “Where is your traitor?”

He already knew that Macca on Logan’s side was a Hydra agent, so he cooperated with Logan to eliminate Strucker’s base and rescue Logan’s people.

Logan’s mission is to help SHIELD get the goods back.

This is also the reason why SHIELD and the Avengers did not appear in this interception mission.

Otherwise, if there was such a big commotion, the canyon would have been surrounded by SHIELD people.

Logan shook his head. “I’ve already killed him. That guy is quite strong, and we don’t have a suppression collar. The possibility of catching him is too low. We can only kill him.”

Steve naturally hopes to capture Macka and bring him to justice, perhaps he can get a lot of information about Hydra.

But Logan doesn’t want him to be alive. Even if there is a chance to capture him alive, Logan will not let him survive.

After all, he had discovered his thermal vision and ability to fly, and this news must not be leaked.

Otherwise, if SHIELD knew this news, they would not care about Steve’s obstruction and would definitely capture him for research.

After all, the mystery of the X gene mutation is important to both Hydra and S.H.I.E.L.D.

As for Logan killing Macka, Steve nodded in understanding, holding the box of vibranium and said, “I’ll put this away first. You go to the farm first. Many people are waiting for you.”

Logan nodded and quickly ran back to the farm with Victor and others.

There were obviously a lot more people on the farm at this time, and it was a bit crowded.

After all, in addition to the people in Maca Farm, there are also Moira’s people, a total of more than two hundred people crowded together.

Some of them knew Logan and took the initiative to greet them, but Logan didn’t have time to chat with them and went all the way back to the cabin where he lived before.

Inside the house, the professor, Caliban, Laura, Lorna and others were all sitting in the living room.

They all knew from Steve that Logan would be back today, and they all gathered here.

After hearing the sound of the door opening, everyone turned around quickly.

When they saw that it was Logan who came back, they all stood up and surrounded him.

Laura pounced up and flew into Logan’s arms, her cute little face full of excitement.

“You are finally back.”

Caliban pushed the professor to Logan and the others and looked at him with admiration.

Although they had only been separated for a few days, they almost felt like they were separated by the Yin and Yang. Both sides were extremely worried about each other, and now that they have met again, their psychological anxiety has finally been relieved.

Logan nodded, glanced at everyone, and when he saw that everyone was safe and sound, he breathed a sigh of relief.

“No one was hurt.”

Logan rubbed Laura’s head and asked.

When having a video chat with Stark, that guy seemed to say that he had beaten up some people. At that time, Logan was very worried that it might be Laura and the others.

Lorna at the side shook her head: “We are all fine, but a few people were beaten. Fortunately, they all received treatment and are now fine.”

“That’s good.”

Only then did Logan feel relieved.

As long as nothing happens, there is still hope.

“Logan, you have no idea, we have been scared these past few days.”

Although he escaped from danger, Caliban still looked scared. After all, he was captured by Hydra’s people, and his life and death depended entirely on their decisions, which almost scared Caliban to death.

Looking at Caliban’s appearance, Logan shook his head helplessly, “It’s okay, we are safe now for the time being.”

After saying that, he glanced at the patrolling SHIELD task force outside the window.

At least for now, SHIELD is willing to cooperate with them, which means that there should be no conflict between the two sides in the short term, and the enemies they need to face next may be Hydra and the Patrol, so the pressure is relatively reduced.

Now that Hydra’s base nearby has been destroyed, it may be difficult for them to regroup in this area in a short period of time. For them, perhaps they can have a relatively relaxed time for a while.

Hearing this, everyone couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Safety is the most exciting thing for them right now.

Everyone returned to the living room and sat down, and Luna poured water for everyone.

Charles asked curiously, “When did you first know Maca’s identity?”

From Steve, he already knew that the reason they were surrounded by Hydra was entirely because of Maika.

But what makes Charles curious is that Maca is hiding so deeply, how did Logan know about it?

You know, even his own telepathy could not detect the malice in Macka’s heart. This was enough to show that Macka was too thoughtful, and sometimes he even deceived himself.

Logan smiled bitterly, thinking back to the night he came into contact with Hans.

If it weren’t for the video provided by Hans that night, he would still have been kept in the dark. Even though he had some doubts about Maca at the time, he ultimately trusted him more.

It was that video that confirmed Macka’s true identity for him. It could be said that Hans helped him see Macka’s true face completely.

After sighing, Logan explained the whole story to everyone.

Finally, he added: “The video that weirdo showed me was the transaction between Macka and Stark. Only then can I understand everything.”

Charles couldn’t help but fall into deep thought after hearing this. After a long while, he said, “It seems that they have been helping us all along. Maybe they are really his descendants. If we have a chance, maybe we should really go meet him. Even if they are not his descendants, we should thank them in person.”

Logan nodded, he knew that the man Charles was talking about was Beast Hank.

And what Charles said was also right. Regardless of whether he was Hank’s descendant or not, it was true that they helped him and he should be thanked in person.

After chatting for a while, there was a knock on the door. Steve came and invited Logan to go out for a chat. Logan went out and the two walked in the woods.

“Straker ran away. That guy was very smart. He escaped as soon as we attacked. Our people were unable to catch up with him.”

In the woods, Steve walked and spoke, describing the outcome of the incident. “But fortunately, all his men were captured, and the nest was completely destroyed. It should be impossible for him to cause any trouble in the short term.”

Listening to Steve’s words, Logan nodded solemnly, “Thank you for this time.”

If it weren’t for Steve’s help, he might still have to succumb to Stark and Maca’s men. After all, they hold the lives of Charles and others in their hands.

It was because Steve rescued the people that he dared to break up with Maca.

“You are welcome.”

Steve smiled and said, “I am happy to participate in the mission to destroy Hydra. These bastards should have been completely wiped out during World War II. I didn’t expect them to persist until now.”

Logan just smiled and shook his head. “Not only have they not been wiped out, but they have become more and more difficult to deal with. This time, I have finally fought them to the death.”

He looked at the road ahead and sighed.

Hydra is vengeful and after this incident, when they have time, they will definitely find ways to deal with him. This makes Logan feel a little worried.

Steve saw what was on Logan’s mind and said, “Logan, join us and fight alongside me like you did in World War II. We will help you solve the difficulties faced by mutants and help you protect these mutants.”

Logan looked up at Steve’s serious expression and couldn’t help but smile bitterly at his naivety. He then shook his head and said, “I appreciate your kindness, but… I really can’t agree to it.”

Nowadays, in addition to Hydra, there are also government organizations that regard mutants as thorns in their eyes and bones in their necks. They are not willing to see mutants grow stronger.

Even if Logan joins Steve, he is destined to be controlled by the government, and such control is unacceptable to him.

After listening to Logan’s words, Steve was disappointed, but he no longer forced it.

“In that case, I won’t say anything more. I hope we won’t be enemies next time we meet.”

He looked up at the task force surrounding the forest and murmured, “I will temporarily withdraw the SHIELD task force tonight. You should take this opportunity to take your people away. SHIELD is very dissatisfied with you now, so this is the only way. Anyway, you just need to hurry up and take your people away before they come back. I will explain to Fury.”

Logan was stunned for a moment, then he smiled. He knew that this was the best help Steve could give him at the moment.

After all, it is impossible for so many mutants to leave openly under the noses of so many task forces.

“Thank you.”

Logan nodded solemnly to Steve and expressed his sincere gratitude to this old friend.
