I haven’t been a hero for many years

The next day, the sky was gray and covered with dark clouds.

Presumably it will rain soon, and people's mood will also become bad because of the weather.

But today Luo Xiu and Luo Gen were very lucky. They received a big order for a sports car early in the morning, and the amount was not small.

Although they were recruiting people to join the funeral procession, they didn't care about that.

In the living room, which gradually became tidy and clean, Luo Xiu, Logan, Professor Charles, and Caliban had breakfast together, and after eating, they were ready to set off.

Charles looked at Luo Xiu with wise eyes and said:

"Luo Xiu, you seem to be a little different?"

Charles is very sensitive and delicate. Did he discover the changes in Luo Xiu for the first time?

"It seems like it's true, it feels like it's getting higher." Caliban said smoothly.

"Getting taller?" Logan paused, with a strange expression.

"More than that." Charles shook his head.

Seeing this, Luo Xiu smiled and said: "Actually, it's nothing, I just awakened another mutant superpower."

"What abilities! Oh my God, very few mutants have more than two abilities." Caliban was excited.

He preconceptionally believed that the ability to heal himself belonged to Luo Xiu himself.

And in the current environment, not to mention awakening abilities, even the birth of a new mutant is a miracle.

"Show me, Luo Xiu." Logan smiled.

"Uh..."

Luo Xiu silently opened his palm, and a faint milky white light emerged.

"??" Logan, Caliban.

"!" Charles.

"That's it, gone?" Luo Gen felt that Luo Xiu's special ability would definitely enable him to awaken an awesome ability, preferably the kind that would last for seconds.

That way, even if he dies in the future, Luo Xiu can protect himself without any threat to his survival.

But now it seems that there is a big gap?

"No more." Luo Xiu said.

"Can't shoot out? It condenses light like a sunspot." Caliban said.

Sunspot is one of the former X-Men, who can control light and is a powerful mutant.

"No, for now, let's use lighting." Luo Xiu said helplessly.

"Illumination...this ability...shit!" Logan complained.

But Charles smiled kindly and said:

"Luo Xiu, the birth of every ability has a unique meaning. I believe it is extraordinary, but you have not yet stimulated its true potential."

"Professor, don't comfort me. And I don't care about this ability." Luo Xiu said casually.

"That's it, Charles, feed your soul less chicken soup." Logan said.

"No, don't you feel that when the light released by Luo Xiu appears, we seem to feel a long-lost comfort and relaxation?" Charles said.

"Comfortable?" Logan was stunned.

Caliban felt it carefully, and it was indeed the case. A weak vitality that had not been seen for a long time appeared, but it was too small to be directly perceived.

Luo Gen was very nervous, and there were too many injuries in his body, so it was difficult to distinguish clearly.

But it seems that the pain in the body is indeed relieved!

But just a little bit doesn’t mean much, and it doesn’t cure everything.

"Is there any?" Luo Xiu felt nothing.

"Okay, it's time to work, let's go."

Logan finished eating the bread and began to pack his things.

Luo Xiu withdrew his ability and did not study any more. He could feel that this power was growing and getting stronger. It was absorbing the vitality and energy of life to strengthen itself, but the two complemented each other.Success is not just robbing.

At the city cemetery near Phoenix, a large group of men and women in suits were mourning.

Not far away, Luo Gen and Luo Xiu were waiting with an umbrella.

This affair has nothing to do with them, they are just responsible for bringing people over.

The funeral soon ended. Logan and Luo Xiu together sent the people to the designated location, collected five hundred dollars, and left directly.

This good thing of making five hundred US dollars in half a day is not something that happens every day. In the past, driving cost almost one hundred US dollars a day plus some tips, which totaled less than two hundred US dollars. And it was not possible to earn so much every day. Sometimes there was no bill at all and there was a fine.

Having suddenly made a small fortune, Logan planned to go to a small restaurant to order two dishes and drink some wine to be happy.

Then in the afternoon, I went to the city to sell pancakes and fruits without placing any orders.

In the restaurant, the two of them had just finished eating and had a rest. Not long after, a Spanish-looking woman came over, looking hurriedly and panicked, looking left and right.

"You, are you Wolverine Logan?" the woman said uncertainly, with expectation in her eyes.

Logan's eyes became wary and he asked in a low voice, "Who are you? Am I not the Wolverine you are talking about?"

Luo Xiu looked at this woman and subconsciously looked at the white car outside the door. In the car sat a little girl of seven or eight years old. The little girl was facing the glass and looking into the restaurant, her eyes full of stubbornness and a hint of wildness.

"x23!" Luo Xiu guessed the identity of the woman, who was the nurse who escaped from the research institution with the mutant children.

"You are Logan, you can't be wrong. Although you are old, you are still alive. I hope to get your help, please Logan, help me." The woman was crying, very helpless.

Logan felt very irritable and inexplicable. He didn't know this woman, and he knew that he was probably related to those research institutions and the military.

Luo Xiu poked Logan's shoulder and pointed at the little wolf girl in the car outside the door.

Logan looked in the direction and saw the little wolf girl Laura.

I don’t know why, even though it was the first time we met, I felt particularly cordial. It was a blood connection.

"That child is an

Although Logan had known about Laura's existence for a long time, when he saw her for the first time, he was upset and didn't know how to make a decision.

In fact, he didn't want to go to trouble. But this girl means a lot.

"You should leave first and leave your address. Let Logan calm down. He has thought about it and we will go find you." Luo Xiu said.

"Really?" The woman hesitated.

"Don't worry, Wolverine Logan is a hero." Luo Xiu said seriously.

"Okay, but be quick. They are about to catch up."

The woman bit her lip, seemed to make up her mind, and immediately drove away.

Luo Xiu and Luo Gen were the only two people left in the restaurant. Logan drank a large bottle of wine and said:

"Luo Xiu, do you really want to cause this mess? You should understand what we will face once we take in this child."

"I don't care, the key is you. Logan, what do you think? Although you have a tough mouth and a bad temper, you have a soft heart. Your little conscience is always urging you to do good things and do what a hero should do." Luo Xiu said.

"Haha!"

"I haven't been a hero for many years." Logan laughed at himself.

"Really, so what's your choice?" Luo Xiu asked.

"Fuck, isn't it just fighting for your life? Anyway, I don't have long left in this life, so let's fight again for these children. Although I regret it, some things have to be done." Logan said.

Logan has changed a lot in the past six months, especially his temper is no longer so stubborn.

Perhaps it was Luo Xiu's presence that healed him and allowed him to live like a normal middle-aged man, with light, hope and compassion in his heart.

"You will succeed, Logan. Even if you die." Luo Xiu said.

"...Fuck, can you say something nice? I don't want to die yet!" Logan laughed and scolded, not angry. He had looked away. He was not afraid of life or death, and just hoped that his last period of life would be meaningful.
