Chapter 12 Saber-toothed Tiger Victor (Please read!)
The setting sun hung in the sky, and the orange-red sunlight was like flowing blood amber, imprinted on Sean's car window.
Temporarily away from the battle, Sean listened to the gentle music and felt calmer than ever before.
He suddenly remembered that when he was fighting Deadpool, he wanted to replace the abilities loaded into his soul body, but it caused the soul body to become unstable.
Can't change in combat?
Or is it because I haven't developed my abilities enough?
Sean supported his head with one hand and tapped the steering wheel with the other.
If the abilities loaded into the soul body are like gears, which mesh with each other to exert greater power, then the abilities in combat are like running gears?
Replacing the gears (abilities) in operation, thus causing the soul body to become unstable?
Sean gripped the steering wheel tightly, feeling that this was the truth.
If he cannot change it temporarily during the battle, he will need to load the appropriate abilities more carefully.
Wait……
Sean sat up straight, his hands tightly gripping the steering wheel, a thoughtful look in his eyes.
What if he could construct a new soul body before it could no longer accommodate more powerful abilities?
Does that mean you can switch between the two souls at any time and fight with different styles of abilities?
"You can try it!"
But he needs more soul power.
Sean murmured in his heart, relaxed his body again, drove slowly, and continued along the road.
But at this time the sunlight became redder.
"It was like blood splashing on the road."
Sean whispered, then chuckled.
Out of the way.
As a mutant, there are always enemies looking for him.
……
Meanwhile, Laura and Gabriela have crossed the U.S.-Mexico border and entered the borderland of Texas.
Because of the border with Mexico and the tough character of the people in Texas, there have been constant conflicts along the border.
Drug trafficking, illegal immigration, gangs everywhere...
The situation near the border is very complicated.
But no matter what, both of them entered the territory of Country M, one step closer to their Garden of Eden.
After not sleeping all night and driving for more than ten hours in fear, Gabriela was mentally exhausted and all the strength in her body was drained.
She took Laura to a nearby motel, ate something, and then fell asleep with Laura.
But when they woke up and went out to eat, they found that a stranger was looking for them.
It’s someone from the research institute!
Without any hesitation, the answer immediately came to Gabriela's mind.
"Laura, go!"
Gabriela turned pale and spoke in a low voice.
She didn't expect the institute to act so quickly.
Did they leave traces when they entered the country?
Or did the gangsters she bribed betray them?
Gabriela's face looked grim, while Laura's eyes gradually became fierce.
“Laura! Go!”
Gabriela grabbed Laura's hand and shook her head at her.
Laura pursed her lips and followed obediently.
I didn't feel relieved until the two of them left safely and returned to the motel.
"We have to leave quickly."
Gabriela was packing her things and said to Laura beside her.
Laura stretched out her steel claws and said coldly: "I can kill that man."
"Laura!"
Gabriela gently touched Laura's head and put a stress-relieving ball she bought in the morning into Laura's hand.
"We have left the institute. Don't think of yourself as a damn weapon. You have never been a weapon."
Laura was a little confused, but she nodded.
Gabriela continued to pack her things.
"There will be more trouble coming, and we need help." The enemy has already started searching here.
She didn't have the confidence to take Laura across the entire country of M while being searched by the enemy, and she didn't even have the confidence to take Laura away from Texas.
Laura rubbed the stress-relieving ball happily, watching it change into various shapes in her hands, and grinned happily.
Gabriela glanced at him out of the corner of her eye, smiled slightly and continued to murmur: "If Sean was here, he might be able to protect us to our destination safely."
"Sean?"
Laura looked up and said worriedly: "Can he escape from the institute? Will he die?"
Gabriela shook her head: "I don't know, but I hope he's okay."
"I need to find someone to escort us..."
An idea suddenly occurred to her, and she remembered what her boyfriend, Donald Pierce, had said to her not long ago.
"I didn't expect that the former Wolverine would be a driver in El Paso. I'm still his fan."
She could no longer remember Donald's expression when he said this, but she still remembered the sad yet excited tone of his voice clearly.
Wolverine, X-Men!
"He can help us!"
Gabriela shouted excitedly.
Importantly, El Paso is not far away.
"Laura! We are saved!"
Gabriela hugged Laura excitedly.
……
Durango, Mexico.
Sean drove north and passed the edge of the city in the early morning hours.
He originally wanted to fill up his tank at the small gas station, eat something and leave, but he met an unexpected person at the gas station.
Is it destined that we will meet someone with Wolverine-type abilities?
"Hey! Boy! I ask who you are!"
The man looked at Sean fiercely, his fingers sliding rapidly on the glass of the cash register, making a harsh sound.
The man had a messy beard, and although his face showed signs of aging, his eyes were very fierce. When he spoke, his tone was sinister, and his two fangs were exposed from the corners of his mouth from time to time.
It's like a big cat that is old but still ferocious.
Sabretooth, Victor.
Another unexpected person.
However, this guy's self-healing ability, strength, and speed are all stronger than Wolverine, so it's not surprising that he can still live to this day.
But what puzzled Sean was why the saber-toothed tiger also looked old?
Seeing that Sean didn't answer for a long time, Sabretooth grabbed Sean's collar impatiently and said grimly: "Boy, are you deaf?"
Sean blinked and smiled slightly: "Is this how you usually greet customers? No wonder business is so bad."
Victor grinned, and the nails on the hand that was holding Sean slowly grew out, flashing a cold metallic light.
"Boy, you are very brave."
Sean nodded.
"Thank you for the compliment."
Victor let go of Sean with a bored look on his face, snorted, and said, "You are a mutant? What abilities do you have?"
Sean was surprised and asked, "You can guess that?"
"Guess?"
Victor sneered and said, "Although I am old and my abilities are declining, I can still smell the lingering blood on you and sense your special 'smell' as a mutant."
Sean said without hesitation: "Great!"
Victor raised the corner of his mouth slightly, tapped twice on the cash register, and said to Sean: "409 pesos, US dollars are accepted for payment."
Please read on Monday!
Thank you!
