Night fell, and the moonless sky was filled with stars.
Chen Tian and the others followed the farm owner to the latter's residence. The farm owner's name was Will, and his ancestors ran farms in the south.
Not long ago, he had just built a classic southern two-story building in the middle of the cornfield.
As they were in the middle of the cornfield, the surrounding environment was immersed in silence.
Will's family was very enthusiastic and quickly prepared dinner.
Under the orange light, the food on the table was covered in a warm color.
This was the first time Laura had eaten with so many people around the dining table. She didn't have any scruples and directly reached out to grab the food in front of her.
"Use this."
Chen Tian smiled speechlessly. He pulled Laura's hand back and stuffed a fork into it.
“......”
Laura rolled her eyes at him unhappily and continued to eat.
Professor Charles and the farm owner were having a good conversation. Logan also joked about their past at Xavier's Genius Academy in a rare relaxed atmosphere.
Chen Tian did not say anything else as he thought about the incident with Gotham An.
Dinner ended.
It was almost midnight.
Seeing that it was late at night, the farm owner's family enthusiastically asked to stay the night.
Logan was about to refuse when he heard the farm owner's son, nate, curse.
"Heavens! Damn it! It's starting again!"
Everyone looked towards the source of the voice.
He saw that Nat had punched the faucet angrily and turned on the valve, but there was no response from the faucet.
Logan and the others were puzzled by his behavior. They turned around and saw that Will, who had always been enthusiastic, had an unexpectedly gloomy expression on his face.
"F * ck! Those sons of b * tches must have tampered with the water pump again!”
Will cursed with a deep frown.
"Someone tampered with it?"
Professor Charles was confused.
Laura didn't pay much attention to it and sat on the chair sleepily.
Chen Tian knew the reason.
All the surrounding land had been bought over by Canwood Beds, except for Will's family, who had been holding on to their ancestral land and refused to make any concessions.
Therefore, they had spent most of their recent days in the torment of Wood's beverage company.
Breaking the water pump and cutting off the water supply was just one of the torture methods.
"No, I have to deal with it. There are guests here. We can't possibly not have enough water to bathe.”
Will took a deep breath, stood up, and walked out of the door.
"I'll go with you. Maybe I can help.”
Logan felt that he had to help out since Will was so welcoming, so he chose to follow.
"I'll stay and take care of the doctor and Laura.”
Chen Tian considered the possibility of the people from the Genetic Modification Research Institute coming to him, so he did not choose to go with them.
Logan knew what Chen Tian was thinking. He did not say anything more. He turned around and gave a few instructions before leaving with Will.
..........
Chen Tian and the other two were arranged to stay in the guest room upstairs by Catherine, the owner of the farm.
Time passed slowly.
Due to the non-stop travel for the past few days, the exhausted Professor Charles and Laura quickly fell asleep in bed before Logan and the farm owner could deal with the water supply problem.
"I'm sorry…Please forgive me."
Professor Charles seemed to be dreaming of the past as he mumbled some words of apology.
It wasn't loud, but it woke up Laura who was lying on a small bed at the side.
She quickly opened her eyes and her body instinctively tensed up. She looked around and found that it was not a cold white room, but she quickly relaxed.
Then, she inadvertently looked at Chen Tian.
Chen Tian did not fall asleep. He sat by the window and looked at the scenery outside with a grave expression.
He knew that there was a high chance that the people from the Genetic Modification Research Institute would come looking for him, so he had to be vigilant to avoid the tragedy of Professor Charles being brutally killed.
Sensing Laura's puzzled gaze, Chen Tian looked back. The corners of his mouth twitched. Just as he was about to smile, his expression froze in the next moment.
Heavy footsteps came from outside the door.
Chen Tian's five senses were extraordinary. He could tell that the other party was deliberately controlling his footsteps. Moreover, the farm owner and Logan, who had driven away, had not returned yet.
seems
They came with ill intentions.
Pa da---
The door was pushed open.
Laura looked at the person standing at the door and was stunned.
This was because the person standing at the door was no different from Logan in terms of size, appearance, and temperament. It was just that he looked younger.
Laura narrowed her eyes in confusion. She smelled a strange aura.
At this moment.
Chen Tian stood up and stood in front of Professor Charles. He stared at him with a serious expression. The guy who looked exactly like the young Uncle Wolf was not Uncle Wolf!
It was Uncle Wolf's clone!
X-24！！
It possessed all of Uncle Wolf's mutated abilities!
In the movie, it was also because of his extremely confusing appearance that he easily approached Professor Charles and killed him!
Bang!
The moment the X-24 saw Chen Tian stand up, a dark light flashed in its cold eyes. It stomped on the ground like a bloodthirsty wolf.
With a strong gust of wind, he pounced towards the yellow-skinned youth!
..............
At the same time.
Outside the farm, it was already shrouded in the thick darkness of the night. There were many cars parked on the path, all of which had the logo of the Genetic Research Institute.
In the middle of the convoy, in a rather special jeep, the newly appointed head of security at the research institute was staring at the room where Chen Tian and the others were.
There was a hint of worry in his eyes. He was not worried that the X-24 mission would fail, but that the other party would lose control.
After all, there was only one reason why they wanted to put the Experimentals to sleep. That was because the Experimentals had gained their own consciousness and thus did not obey their orders.
"Will the X-24 lose control?”
He wiped the sweat from his forehead and could not help but ask.
After all, the reason why they had performed mass euthanization on the Experimentals they had created was because those Experimentals had lost control and developed self-awareness.
The mutated humans who had lost control and gained self-awareness and moved freely would cause immeasurable trouble.
"Don't worry."
Dr. Rice, who was beside him, looked at the former's reaction and smiled confidently." X-24 is the most perfect experimental subject. There has never been a situation of losing control.”
