Chapter 127 Beast Hank, Rescue Mission

In the early morning, the plain was filled with thick fog. The early sun shone through the fog onto the ground, and the air was filled with the fragrance of green grass.

Logan moved a chair and sat outside the house, the cup in his hand filled with freshly brewed tea, with puffs of white smoke rising from it.

After a day of repair yesterday, the town was basically cleaned up, the supplies they brought were properly handled, and the dilapidated town began to come alive because of their arrival.

Logan sat in a chair, looking at the quiet town, blowing the hot steam from the water cup, and a data panel appeared in front of him.

【Current physical condition】: Normal physical condition, normal X gene condition!

[Free Points]: 50
[Enhancement Points]: 25
After yesterday’s speech, as well as some of the scattered prestige points gained during previous battles, the prestige during this period has increased by more than 1,600. The current total prestige has reached more than 3,600. The growth rate can be said to be very rapid.

Looking at the skyrocketing prestige points, Logan couldn’t help but smile.

After all, this was an unexpected surprise. His original intention yesterday was not for prestige, but to help all the mutants who were in a depressed state to get out of their depressed state as soon as possible. He just didn’t expect that such a speech could actually gain so much prestige points.

The growth of prestige also led to an increase in free points and enhancement points. Currently, there are 50 free points, which is enough to significantly improve Logan’s strength.

Looking at the free points, Logan returned his attention to the various attributes.

Currently, except for 40 points of strength and 16 points of intelligence, the rest of the points are only 10 points.

After thinking about it, Logan decided to add ten points to endurance, agility, and speed respectively, bringing the total of these three items to twenty points.

At this stage, forty points of strength are more than enough, while endurance can extend one’s fighting time and increase physical strength so as not to be consumed.

As for agility and speed, they are two attributes that complement each other. Increased agility allows him to react faster in battle, while increased speed allows him to make timely adjustments after reacting.

As these three points increased, Logan felt a tingling sensation throughout his body.

As my endurance increased, I felt instantly more relaxed and energetic. The fatigue from yesterday’s busy day was relieved a lot, as if my body was full of energy again.

At the same time, everything he saw seemed to have slowed down a lot. The flapping of birds’ wings in the sky could be clearly captured, and the movements of some insects deep in the grass could also be clearly seen. His sense of everything around him also increased, and he could even hear the sound of Caliban brushing his teeth in the toilet in the house.

The five senses are rapidly amplified at this moment, and the response to various situations around is also faster.

Feeling these changes, Logan couldn’t help but slightly curl the corners of his mouth.

If he were to face a battle similar to the one with Maca now, he would definitely be able to do it much more easily. After all, he could react promptly to many attacks, and his overall strength had definitely increased to a higher level!
After taking a deep breath, Logan returned his gaze to the panel.

There are only 20 free points left now. After hesitating for a while, Logan still kept his original habit and stored these 20 free points for the time being in case of emergency.

He lowered his gaze to the column of enhancement points.

The number of enhancement points is as high as twenty-five. Currently, the self-healing factor has returned to normal, so there is no need to worry about it. So Logan turned his attention to the three items of thermal vision, annihilation, and free flight.

After thinking about it, I added fifteen points to the flight without hesitation.

Currently his flying speed is still too slow. It’s okay when encountering normal enemies, but if he encounters an enemy that mainly relies on flying, then this speed is really not enough.

If he were to fight an enemy that could fly, his current flying speed would likely be easily crushed.

Even though there are no flying enemies now, Logan still thinks it is better to prepare for a rainy day.

Besides, he also wanted to try the feeling of soaring rapidly in the air.

As for the remaining ten enhancement points, Logan did not hesitate too much and added them directly to the thermal vision.

Although the ability of annihilation is stronger in some ways, it can ignore the enemy’s defense and melt the enemy directly.

But this ability has too many disadvantages. After using it, one will fall into a state of exhaustion. If there are other enemies around, it will be too dangerous. Therefore, this ability is a last resort and will not be used unless it is absolutely necessary.

In daily combat, besides steel claws, the most commonly used weapon is thermal vision.

However, the power of thermal vision today can no longer meet Logan’s expectations.

It can be seen from the battle with Maca this time that thermal vision can’t even break through Maca’s golden shield. If you encounter some enemies with strong defense, the unupgraded thermal vision is really not enough.

In order to be able to better deal with similar enemies when encountering them, it is necessary to increase points in thermal vision.

As these two attributes increased, Logan breathed a sigh of relief.

However, after these two items were increased, there was no clear feedback from the body.

After all, they are different from self-healing factors. Self-healing factors are constantly nourishing the body, and after being enhanced, the body’s feedback is obvious.

As for the strength of these two enhancements, I am afraid you can only get a direct feeling of it during combat.

As all the points were added, Logan put away the data panel.

The tea has cooled down a bit by now, and is just the right temperature for drinking.

He sat in a chair, sipped hot tea, looked at the grassland in the distance, and enjoyed the early morning leisurely.

“Uncle Wolf, have a sandwich. I made this myself.”

At this time, Luna slowly walked over with a sandwich and gently placed it on the tea table in front of Logan.

“Thank you.”

Logan smiled and nodded at Luna, picked up the sandwich and took a bite. The soft bread, ham and salad dressing tasted very good.

“I didn’t expect you to have such cooking skills. The taste is much better than I imagined.”

He chewed his sandwich and couldn’t help but nod his approval.

Although it is just a simple sandwich, it is indeed worthy of praise to be able to do this.

Lorna smiled and moved a chair to sit next to Logan. “When I was on the farm, I often cooked for them and they always praised me for my good cooking.”

“It’s indeed worth praising.”

Logan smiled and finished the sandwich in just a few bites.

And Luna just smiled, then sighed deeply and stared into the distance in a daze.

“what happened?”

Logan noticed Lorna’s strange mood.

“I’m worried about Klaus and John.”

Lorna sighed and shook her head, “They were both very depressed and haven’t recovered yet.”

After these words were spoken, Logan couldn’t help but frown.

This won’t do. After all, those two are the main force of the shelter. If they are not in good shape all the time, it will have a certain impact on the farm.

Luna continued, “Actually, I understand. After all, the two of them followed Macca from the beginning and have the deepest feelings for Macca. In their eyes, Macca is not only a leader, but also a good brother. However, what they didn’t expect was that Macca would actually be Hydra and almost killed everyone. It must have been difficult for them to accept it for a while…”

She knew very well how Klaus and the others felt. Maca was the closest person to them, but she was betrayed by her closest relative. She would definitely need to get over this dark period in a short time.

Listening to Lorna’s words, Logan nodded silently, “I’ll talk to them again when I have time. Don’t worry, things will eventually pass. You don’t have to worry too much. The shelter still needs to develop, so we can’t be absent-minded.”

Although we now have a safe place, making a living has become a problem.

The sources of materials, financial income, etc. all require the joint construction of the people in the shelter, and this cannot be done without the help of Luna and others, after all, they have experience in managing farms.

Luna smiled bitterly, nodded and said, “Don’t worry, I will do my best.”

When Logan was about to say something, the phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated. He took it out and saw it was a message.

Looking at the new information, Logan’s expression suddenly became solemn.

“what happened?”

Luna noticed something was wrong with Logan at the first sight and started to ask.

“It’s Hans.”

Logan looked at the message from Hans on his phone, frowned, stood up and walked into the house, and said to Lorna, “Go and call Victor and the others to gather together. I have something important to tell you.”

Looking at Logan’s expression, Luna guessed that this matter was not simple, so she nodded quickly and turned to call Victor and others over.

A few minutes later, everyone arrived at Logan’s cabin.

Logan sat on the sofa, took a deep breath, then held up his cell phone to show everyone, “This is a message from weirdo Hans, everyone take a look.” After everyone took Logan’s cell phone and checked it, they all frowned.

In the message, Hans told Logan that the situation was very bad, his father had been taken away, and the three brothers were too weak to rescue him, so he begged Logan and the others to provide help.

After reading the message, Charles immediately looked at Logan, “Logan, we can’t just stand by and watch him die, we have to help!”

If Hans is really the descendant of Hank the Beast, then the person who was kidnapped must be Hank. Charles obviously cares very much about that old friend.

Logan nodded and said in a deep voice: “Of course, I will definitely help you. If it weren’t for Hans, we might still be kept in the dark by McCabe, and we might have already entered Hydra’s laboratory. Now that they need me, I will definitely help.”

He has never been a person who is ungrateful. Since Hans has done him a favor, he will definitely help him in every possible way.

“We’re all willing to help.”

After looking at each other, Luna, Marcos and others handed the phone back to Logan and nodded, agreeing that they should all help.

Seeing that everyone was very concerned, Logan nodded, and then said, “We don’t need that many people. I plan to take only three people with me.”

After all, their identities are somewhat special, and it would be easy to be exposed if there are too many people.

And this time it’s just a rescue mission. We’ll leave after rescuing people. Four people, plus the three Hans brothers, are enough.

“Take me one.”

Luna stepped forward and volunteered, patting her chest. “I haven’t participated in a mission for a long time. Besides, my ability is to manipulate metal. I can easily open various cages, which is very suitable for rescue missions!”

Seeing Lorna’s insistence, Logan thought for a moment and nodded, “Okay, you’ll be one of them.”

After saying that, he glanced at the crowd and pointed at Marcos, “Marcos, you come too.”

When Marcos saw that he was chosen, he immediately stood up with a smile and said, “Don’t worry, I won’t let you down.”

Logan smiled, glanced at the crowd again, and was troubled about the last candidate.

“What else are you thinking about?”

Victor looked at him and raised his eyebrows. “Is there anyone more suitable than me?”

Logan glanced at him and shook his head without hesitation: “You stay this time.”

Victor was stunned when he heard this. His brows knitted tightly together, and there was clearly some dissatisfaction in his eyes. “Hey, Logan, I’m not too old to go on a mission!”

Logan rolled his eyes at him and said, “Don’t talk.”

Victor’s face darkened, and he obviously wanted to say something else, but after thinking about it, he chose to shut up, hugged his chest and retreated to the corner of the room to sulk.

Although he was very dissatisfied with Logan’s arrangement, he also knew that Logan had just become the leader and needed to accumulate prestige, so it would be better not to refute him.

Logan continued to hesitate, wavering between several candidates.

Victor has other arrangements. John and Klaus are obviously not suitable for the mission, so there are few people left to choose from.

At this time, a small figure rushed in, “Choose me, I want to participate in the mission too!”

Logan looked towards the childish voice and saw Clarice who had been standing outside.

“Nonsense, what kind of mission is it for a child to participate in?”

Logan rejected the girl’s request without hesitation. Although he didn’t have any good candidates, he would not let a teenager participate in the mission.

But Clarice still insisted, “Uncle Wolf, don’t refuse so quickly. My ability will be of great help to the mission. I can now teleport hundreds of meters at will. I am the perfect choice to participate in the rescue mission!”

She looked at Logan with pride, very confident in her abilities.

Charles, who was standing by, looked at her and nodded, saying, “She has made rapid progress recently. If we are rescuing her, it might be more useful to bring her along.”

He had been teaching the children before, and he knew every child’s abilities and what abilities they could display.

Among them, Clarice’s progress was indeed very fast. Apart from being a little young, her abilities now met the requirements for carrying out missions.

Listening to Charles’ words, Logan looked at Clarice and finally nodded, “Okay, I’ll take you with me. Let’s go back and get ready. We’ll set off soon. The rest of you stay at home and tidy up the town.”

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded and turned to leave.

Logan left Victor, who was looking sulky, behind.

“Hey, Logan, you can’t be like this. You’d rather take a kid than me?”

After everyone left, Victor couldn’t help but question Logan, obviously dissatisfied with Logan’s arrangement.

“No.”

Logan shook his head and said in a deep voice, “The reason why I didn’t take you with me is because I need someone who is trustworthy and capable to stay at home. Especially after the previous incident with Maika, the family needs someone with enough strength to hold on. Even if an enemy situation occurs, you can hold on for a little longer or rescue more people.”

Hearing this, Victor’s angry expression finally relaxed and he nodded, “Why didn’t you tell me earlier? Don’t worry, I will definitely be able to guard this place. It is absolutely safe and reliable!”

Logan looked at Victor’s appearance, smiled and shook his head, “Okay, I’ll go get ready, you stay here.”

After a brief preparation, everyone had prepared what they needed, got on the second-hand off-road vehicle they had purchased, drove out of the grassland, and headed for the place they had agreed to meet with Hans.

This is a mountain forest more than 100 kilometers away from the plateau.

The forest is densely covered with trees and home to many wild animals. The roar of cars is particularly harsh in this silent forest.

Logan followed the navigation and drove the car to a huge old tree.

This ancient tree looks to be at least hundreds of years old. Its thick trunk is at least tens of meters long. Even ten people together cannot hug it. The lush branches and leaves cover it like a huge umbrella.

And in the branches of the ancient tree, there was a very large wooden house. Hans was at the door, lowering a rope ladder for them and motioning them to come up.

Led by Logan, everyone climbed up the ladder and entered the wooden house.

The wooden house with the ancient tree as the main body is very large. It is actually divided into several rooms and a living room. There is a long table and a wooden sofa in the living room, which looks very luxurious.

Hans invited everyone to take a seat. Besides him, his two brothers were also in the cabin.

After Hans’ introduction, Logan learned the names of his two brothers, one was Colin and the other was Mel. At this time, the three brothers looked surprisingly bad and very panicked.

“Thank you for coming.”

Hans poured tea for the others and said in a low voice, “If there was no other way, I would not seek you. It’s just that our father was taken away by a group of people. With the strength of the three of us brothers, we really can’t rescue him. I hope you can help us rescue him.”

Logan nodded without hesitation, “Don’t worry, now that I’m here, I will definitely take care of this matter.”

After saying that, he hesitated for a moment and asked, “But can you tell me your father’s name?”

He was very curious whether Hank was the father of these three weirdos.

Hearing this, Hans turned his head and glanced at the two brothers. The two brothers nodded helplessly. Hans then sighed and said, “Actually, you know him. He used to be your comrade-in-arms and an X-Man. He is what you call Hank the Beast, the former director of the Department of Mutant Affairs.”

“It’s really him.”

Logan nodded, but he was not surprised. This was within his guess. However, after getting the confirmation, he couldn’t help but sigh, “I didn’t expect he was still alive.”

After saying that, he looked at Hans and the others and sighed, “And they already have three children this big.”

After not seeing his old friend for many years, Logan felt both sad and worried. He felt sad that his old friend seemed to be doing well these years, but he was also worried about who had kidnapped him and what their purpose was.

“He hasn’t been in good health, so he didn’t go to see you before.”

Hans sighed and shook his head, with a fierce look in his eyes. “I just didn’t expect that after we’ve been hiding for so long, that group of people still don’t intend to let him go. They’re obviously coming for my father!”

After he finished speaking, Colin and Mel’s faces were also filled with anger. They pounded the wooden table heavily, feeling extremely furious.

Looking at their reactions, Logan frowned, “Who are those people?”

“We don’t know either.”

Hans shook his head and said in a deep voice, “They are a group of superhumans. We cannot tell whether they are mutants or people with special abilities, but they all have superpowers.”

After a pause, Hans added: “Before they took my father away, I temporarily threw them a micro-locator. According to the instructions of the locator, they have now arrived in Hawaii, the United States.”

Hearing this, Logan breathed a sigh of relief, “Now that we know the location, it will be much easier. Let’s set off now.”

After saying that, he stood up and led everyone out of the wooden house.

Now that they know the location, they don’t have to investigate anymore and can just head to Hawaii!
