Chapter 115 The Nine-Headed Hydra's Hostage Situation, Baron Strucker
Chapter 115 The Hydra's Kidnapping, Baron Strucker
Because McCain had arranged everything, Logan and his companions had an exceptionally smooth time in their situation and were not questioned at all.
This greatly surprised Moira and the others.
She had expected the journey to be fraught with difficulties, but to her surprise, it went so smoothly.
Even Logan was surprised. He had thought that McCain’s network of connections was limited to Canada at most, but he didn’t expect it to have such a strong influence in the United States.
Although they did not encounter any danger, Logan and his team did not dare to relax. They drove day and night, taking turns driving, and finally arrived in Canada on the third day after a long and arduous journey.
Of course, being able to escape the United States in just three days while being surrounded by the police is quite fast.
After entering Canada, the convoy headed towards the agreed location and successfully entered the mountainous area where the farm was located on the afternoon of the fourth day.
Meanwhile, the convoy led by McCain and his team had arrived first. Two buses and a car were parked on the side of the main road waiting. The passengers were obviously tired of the long drive and got out of the vehicles to stretch their bodies.
Logan led the convoy to a stop behind McCain and his group, then got out of the car to join them.
"Nothing happened along the way, right?"
McCa went up to them and greeted them warmly.
"fine."
Logan nodded, looking at the entrance to the forest, and breathed a sigh of relief. "Finally back."
Although the journey was safe, he still had to remain highly vigilant. Now that he was about to return to the farm and saw the familiar intersection, he felt much more at ease.
"Settling the shelter in the mountains is indeed a good option."
Moira looked at the vast, dense forest beyond the entrance and nodded repeatedly.
The mountains and forests serve as a natural barrier. Even if the patrol team targets them, they can use the terrain to their advantage and effectively prevent heavy weaponry such as tanks and aircraft from entering.
This is so much better than when they were navigating the sewers in New York.
Listening to Moira's words, Logan couldn't help but remark, "Indeed, it's much safer here than in a conspicuous place like New York."
When he first heard that a mutant organization had established a shelter in New York, he thought it must be some kind of large organization, or at the very least, an underground emperor like Kingpin.
But they later discovered that Moira's shelter was not much different from McCa's shelter, and in some ways, it was even slightly inferior.
At least before they arrived, McCa's sanctuary had powerful figures like McCa, Lorna, and John in charge, while at Moira's sanctuary, at least so far, no one has shown any particularly outstanding strength.
Yet this so-called ordinary shelter dared to set up a base in a place like New York, which is almost like a mouse living next to a cat.
Even without this incident, it would only have been a matter of time before their shelter was discovered and destroyed by the patrol team.
Moira clearly understood Logan's meaning and said with a helpless bitter smile, "It happened so suddenly, I had no choice in the matter."
When she first established the shelter, she was actually completely in a passive position.
Most of the shelter's members were also from New York, and they all faced a raid by the picket line.
In order to survive, these mutants spontaneously gathered together, and Moira, with her relatively outstanding leadership skills, successfully became the leader of the shelter.
Initially, she also considered leading the mutants away from New York and relocating to another place to rebuild their territory.
Unfortunately, this idea could not be realized in the end. After all, many of their members had already been wanted by the picket line. Without help to move, they could not leave New York at all. Even if they risked breaking out, they would likely be caught by the picket line on the way.
So Moira had no choice but to take the risk and set up a shelter in New York, leading the mutants to survive to this day.
Logan shrugged, looked at the dense forest, took a deep breath, and urged, "Let's go. We can talk after we get to the shelter. We have a lot to do when we get there."
They brought back quite a few people this time, and just assigning rooms was a big problem. After all, this shelter was smaller than the previous one. Logan was already having a headache just thinking about how to arrange the food, clothing, and lodging for more than a hundred people.
However, he doesn't need to think about these things too much for now, since the shelter belongs to McCain and these arrangements should be made by him.
McCain nodded and urged the people who had gotten out of the car to get back in. Then he waved to Logan and the others and said, "I'll lead the way. Just follow me."
After saying that, he got into the car and headed towards the mountains.
Logan got back into his car, started it, and led his convoy behind McCain and his group.
But after driving for only a short distance, the car in front, McCarthy, suddenly stopped.
Seeing this, Logan quickly slammed on the brakes, almost rear-ending McCain's car.
He looked at McCain, who had suddenly stopped the car, with surprise. He was about to take out the car radio to ask him something when he saw McCain quickly open the car door, run to a small mound by the roadside, and keep looking into the distance with a somewhat bad expression.
Logan frowned, rolled down the car window, and asked, "What's wrong?"
We're almost home, so what's he up to now?
"Come down and take a look over there."
McCa waved to Logan without turning his head, his gaze fixed intently on the distance.
Logan, unaware of what McCa had seen, opened the car door and approached McCa, following his gaze.
In the distance, a plume of black smoke was billowing from the woods, rising blindingly from the center of the forest and forming a large dark cloud in the sky.
However, due to the obstruction of the trees, they couldn't see clearly and didn't know what had happened, but it seemed like a fire.
"That is..."
Logan stared at the billowing smoke, his expression suddenly changing, a wave of panic washing over him. "That's the direction of the shelter!"
He realized that the place filled with thick smoke was the location of the shelter, and Logan was immediately filled with worry.
After all, there are still quite a few people in the shelter.
Marcus, who had just gotten out of the car with McCain, also frowned, saying anxiously, "Let's go see what's going on!"
Although the scene of thick smoke resembled a fire, everyone knew that the possibility was extremely slim. After all, the farm was full of mutants, some of whom had abilities related to water elements, and an ordinary fire would probably have been extinguished long ago.
The only possibility given the thick smoke is that something has happened at the farm!
The group exchanged glances, their eyes filled with tension and worry.
"Let's go check it out first. Let's park the car here and see what's going on."
Logan looked at the convoy behind him, thought for a moment, and then spoke.
Among Moira's men, there aren't many who are capable of fighting. If something really happened at the farm, going there would be suicide. They can only stay here for now and make a decision after they find out what's going on.
Marcus nodded, agreeing with Logan's idea.
At this point, Maika clearly didn't care about anything else and took off running towards the shelter, his back view filled with panic.
Logan frowned and waved to Victor in the car, saying, "Victor, get out!"
After saying that, he turned to Moira and said, "Have your people wait here for a while; we need to take care of some things first!"
After saying that, Logan led Victor and strode after them in the direction of the card purchase.
Marcus and the others got out of the car and followed Logan and his group with nervous expressions.
Moira, who was in the car, witnessed the changing expressions on the group's faces and realized something might have happened. She called out to her men, "Tell our men not to move, I'll go check it out!"
After saying that, she pushed open the car door and chased after Logan and the others.
After all, Logan and his team had helped her several times in New York, and now that their shelter was in trouble, she felt she had to help them out.
The group rushed to the outside of the farm, and after taking a look at the situation inside, they quickly hid behind a tree.
"Damn it, how can there be so many people!"
McCa looked at the situation on the farm, frowned, and cursed.
At this moment, countless armed guards were patrolling inside the farm. Dressed in uniform camouflage, they moved about the farm with such discipline that they were practically an army.
"Who are these people?"
Moira looked at the patrolling guards, her brows furrowed.
These people were clearly not disciplinary squad members; disciplinary squad members don't wear these kinds of uniforms, and they didn't look like regular soldiers. They looked more like mercenaries.
"They're from Hydra!"
Logan looked at the armbands on the guards' shoulders; they were the symbols that belonged exclusively to Hydra.
Looking at the guards, Logan's expression instantly turned serious.
Hydra and S.H.I.E.L.D. are organizations he doesn't want to mess with, but these guys keep coming after him!
"Damn it, why would Hydra target this place!"
Marcus looked at the guards and couldn't help but clench his fists.
He was well aware of Hydra's terror; it was a terrorist organization capable of directly confronting S.H.I.E.L.D., and even the government couldn't do anything about them.
"Now is not the time to dwell on this."
McCain's gaze darkened as he surveyed the farm, his brow furrowed. "Rather than wondering why they've come to us," he said, "we should be thinking about how to find the others!"
At this point, apart from the Hydra soldiers, there was no one else in sight on the farm.
The people in the shelter were nowhere to be found; they either escaped or were captured.
Logan anxiously scanned the entire farm, but couldn't see the professor, Caliban, or Laura. It seemed that only Hydra soldiers were present in the vast farm.
Moreover, these guys seemed to be on guard against something, constantly patrolling the farm.
"Watch out, behind you!"
Moira, who was standing nearby, suddenly pointed behind her and shouted.
Everyone was startled by her sudden shout and hurriedly turned around.
Two hundred meters behind them, several Hydra soldiers had appeared, one of them carrying an RPG on his shoulder, the cannon aimed at them under the big tree.
Boom!
Without hesitation, the soldier pulled the trigger. The rocket spewed flames from the barrel, and the shell whistled as it hurtled towards them.
"Damn it!"
Logan's pupils contracted sharply, and he quickly pushed the people next to him forward with all his might. The enormous force sent them flying more than ten meters away, and he himself took the opportunity to leap and avoid the bombardment.
boom!
The shells grazed past them, struck a large tree, and exploded instantly, sending brilliant flames soaring into the sky. The ground trembled, and the deafening explosions echoed throughout the entire forest.
The massive tree was shattered by the shell; its thick trunk snapped with a crack and fell heavily, kicking up a thick cloud of dust.
The ear-piercing explosion caused everyone to experience ringing in their ears, and the powerful impact sent them flying, crashing heavily to the ground.
"Cough cough cough!"
As the shockwave from the explosion dissipated, everyone coughed violently in the dust and smoke.
The impact of the explosion made them feel as if their internal organs had shifted, and their bodies were in excruciating pain, as if they were about to explode.
If these people hadn't spent years walking on the edge of danger, developing excellent physical strength, they probably would have been killed by that shell.
"Fuck!"
McCa roared angrily and swung his hand, his arm bursting with dazzling golden light.
The next moment, a towering tree snapped in mid-air with a crack, its massive trunk falling rapidly towards the Hydra soldiers who had fired the RPG.
Seeing the shadow cast by the falling tree trunk, the soldiers' expressions changed; they wanted to dodge, but it was too late.
boom!
The tree trunk hit the ground, crushing the soldiers to death. Their brains splattered, their bodies were almost completely flattened, and blood splattered everywhere.
Just as they finished dealing with those soldiers, a series of hurried footsteps quickly approached.
Everyone looked over and saw that all the soldiers in the farm had been attracted by the commotion and rushed over with their guns raised. Without hesitation, Logan and the others opened fire.
Bang bang bang!
Hundreds of rifles pulled their triggers almost simultaneously, countless black muzzles spitting out tongues of fire, bullets turning into a dense barrage, sweeping towards Logan and his men like a deluge of water.
The terrifying number of bullets left Logan and his crew with virtually no way to hide.
"Get down!"
Logan roared, leaped to his feet, and pinned Moira, John, and the others to the ground.
Victor, McCain, and the others on the other side also reacted quickly, immediately lying down to dodge.
shhhhhh! ! !
The bullets flew almost grazing their heads, and the entire grassy path was shattered by the terrifying number of bullets.
Meanwhile, McCain, who was lying on the ground, was not idle either. He placed his hands on the ground, and then a mud wall about thirty centimeters high rose up in front of everyone, forming a very simple individual trench.
Bullets struck the earthen wall, kicking up clouds of dust.
Everyone covered their heads and hid behind the trench. At a time like this, if they stood up, they would be riddled with bullets in no time.
But hiding like this isn't a good solution.
Logan peeked out of the trench briefly to get a quick look at the situation outside.
At this moment, more Hydra soldiers were rushing over, including two guys carrying RPGs who had already aimed their cannons at them and pulled the triggers without hesitation.
Logan's expression changed as he watched the incoming shells hurtling towards him.
They were all lying on the ground, and it was too late to stand up and avoid the shells. If those two shells were to explode, everyone else here except themselves would probably be killed by the shells!
Logan reacted almost instinctively, leaping to his feet and with a whoosh, extending his steel claws, bracing against the countless bullets pelting his body, as he lunged towards the two shells.
Click!
The sharp steel claws sliced the two shells in half.
boom!
The shell exploded the moment it was severed, and the terrifying blast instantly hit Logan, engulfing him completely in flames.
The ground trembled uncontrollably, and the surrounding trees were violently shaken by the shockwave of the explosion. The impact stirred up clouds of dust and smoke, and the center of the explosion was filled with smoke.
Gradually, the firelight dissipated and the dust settled.
Logan appeared in the firelight, his body a bloody mess. Not a single part of his body was intact, and his chest was even blown open, exposing the Adamantium skeleton beneath his flesh.
His face was completely shattered, and his head looked as if it had been peeled off, revealing horrifying flesh and blood underneath.
But those eyes were still moving, those angry eyes seemed to be staring from hell, fixed on the soldier not far away.
He slowly took a step forward, and his physical body visibly recovered. His muscles continued to reshape, his skin covered his entire body again, and even his hair grew back to its previous state.
Such a rapid recovery completely terrified the Hydra soldiers, and they all pointed their guns at him and pulled the triggers without hesitation.
In an instant, countless bullets struck Logan's newly recovered body, exploding a bullet hole in his flesh.
Logan, enraged, seemed oblivious to the pain, lunging towards the soldiers, undeterred by the barrage of hundreds of rifle shots.
The steel claws flashed with a cold light, instantly cleaving the nearest soldier in two, splattering blood all over Logan.
Without pausing, he charged into the crowd with his two steel claws raised, instantly transforming into a wolf king entering a sheepfold. His sharp claws mercilessly slashed down one enemy after another, blood splattering everywhere, and the remains of the soldiers scattered all around.
The enraged Wolverine transformed into a killing machine, rampaging through the ranks of soldiers, fearless of pain and death, with only his targets in his eyes!
Click, click, snap.
Every time someone stops, someone is destined to fall, and death unfolds in the mountains and forests.
The Hydra soldiers looked at Logan with terror in their eyes and kept firing at him, hoping to kill him.
But these bullets only increased Logan's rage, fully awakening his inner bloodlust!
On the other side, Moira and the others were all stunned to see Logan rampaging through the crowd like a deadly Grim Reaper.
It took him a while to realize that he needed to provide support to Logan, and he began to draw his gun and fight back against the Hydra soldiers.
Minutes later, Logan was covered in horrific bloodstains. He stood in front of a pile of corpses, letting the splattered blood wash over his body.
All the Hydra soldiers on the perimeter were slaughtered!
The entire mountain forest fell into complete silence.
clap clap.
Suddenly, a round of applause broke out.
Logan turned his head and saw a burly, bald man in military uniform walk out.
He clapped his hands, looking at Logan with admiration: "Not bad, no wonder you're a mutant who can crawl out of a pile of dead bodies."
Logan noticed that the bald man's right eye was a glowing mechanical eye, and he wore a red Hydra armband on his military uniform arm.
"Who are you?"
Logan looked at him coldly, his steel claws aimed at his head. With just one step forward, he could easily take this guy down.
"take it easy."
Facing the steel claws, the bald man remained unfazed, smiling as he said, "If you hurt me, you'll never find your friends again."
Logan frowned, about to speak, when Maika stepped forward first and said, "Logan, put your claws away!"
"You must be their leader."
The bald man looked at Maika and smiled as he said, "Let me introduce myself. I am Baron Strucker, serving the great Hydra."
Logan paused for a moment upon hearing the name.
He recognized Baron Strucker, but the man before him was completely different from the movie character he remembered, and he seemed even more dangerous than in the film.
For a moment, Logan was filled with worry.
He didn't know how the professors were doing. If this guy really caught them, that would be terrible.
Because Strucker was a notorious experimenter, especially when it came to human experimentation on mutants. You could say he was a madman!
If the professor is really in this guy's hands, his situation is not optimistic!
