Chapter 193 My ability is to be rich
Logan's physical abilities are actually quite formidable, even surpassing those of most mutants.
But compared to Du Mu, it seems inadequate, especially in terms of pure strength.
Keep in mind that Logan has gained weight, and with his own weight plus his adamantium skeleton, he weighs at least 120 kilograms. Yet Du Mu was able to easily throw him into the air. This strength is more outrageous than any mutant Logan has ever seen.
Du Mu asked curiously, "By the way, why are these people chasing you?"
Logan hesitated for a few seconds before finally deciding to be frank: "There was a military colonel named William Stryker, who was the commander of my old mutant squad. He contacted me and said he could provide the weapon to defeat Victor, and that's it."
As he spoke, Logan raised his right hand, and three gleaming adamantium claws shot out from between his fingers.
To be fair, he was quite satisfied with his new manicure, even though the procedure was like a nightmare.
"But this is all a trap!"
Logan's eyes suddenly turned cold, his voice filled with suppressed rage: "Stryker doesn't care whether I can get revenge or not. He just wants to get my DNA, then brainwash me and turn me into an absolutely obedient killing machine."
"Fortunately, I discovered their plan in time and escaped from his base. After that, I came to this place. Now that guy is sending people to find me, he just wants to capture me and use me as his weapon."
"So that's how it is. Stryker is a real villain, resorting to such despicable methods as brainwashing!"
Du Mu spoke with righteous indignation, as if he had completely forgotten that he had once asked Charles to do something similar to Logan in another parallel world.
He then asked, "So what are you planning to do now?"
"Get revenge on Victor!"
Logan answered without hesitation.
Victor sentenced him to a life without a wife, and this revenge must be taken no matter what!
"But do you know where he is?"
"Before I escaped that base, I heard them mention an island. I plan to find my former comrades from the mutant team and ask them for information; maybe I can get some clues."
As Logan finished speaking, the system's voice rang in Du Mu's mind.
[NPC James Logan Howlett has given you a new quest]
[Mission: Follow the clues]
Objective: Investigate and find the mysterious island.
[Rewards: 1000 experience points, Logan's favorability +10, 2 random items]
Du Mu didn't expect that the side quest would be triggered before the dungeon quest was even triggered.
He nodded and said, "Alright, let's go find your teammates first."
"us?"
Logan was taken aback: "This is my business, you don't need to get involved."
Du Mu declared righteously, "Logan, we're teammates! How can I abandon you? It's decided then and there, we'll go find Victor together!"
When did we become teammates?
Logan was a little confused by what he said, but he was still quite touched. He didn't expect this guy to be so loyal.
He remained silent for a moment, but ultimately did not refuse and simply nodded.
"6
...Whatever you want.
After taking down Agent Zero and his gang, Du Mu and Logan returned to the farm.
Before them lay the destroyed barn, and the elderly couple gazed at the ruins, their faces filled with sorrow.
Old Kent, in particular, felt his heart break as he watched his beloved motorcycle turn into a pile of charred wreckage.
Du Mu stepped forward, said nothing, and tossed a gold bar over as compensation.
The elderly couple accepted the gold bars, and their faces immediately brightened. They said they wouldn't mind if their house was blown up. With the two gold bars that Du Mu had given them, they could move to the city to live with their son.
Logan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He didn't want his own affairs to implicate these kind, ordinary elderly people, and seeing them benefit from misfortune made him feel much more at ease.
At this moment, Du Mu turned around and patted him on the shoulder: "By the way, Logan, put this compensation on your tab."
Logan: "6"
'
Las Vegas, Nevada.
Du Mu drove the old car, a gift from the elderly couple, to a slightly dilapidated boxing gym on the outskirts of the city with Logan, in search of one of Logan's former comrades, Phantom John.
John is a black man wearing a cowboy hat who has the ability to teleport, but he can only teleport within his field of vision. He is essentially a beggar plus a corrupted version of Red Devil.
John was delighted to see Logan, and the two exchanged a few pleasantries in a relaxed atmosphere.
Upon learning that Du Mu was also a mutant, John enthusiastically asked, "Hey bro, what's your power?"
Du Mu hesitated for two seconds and then said, "I am very rich."
John:
'
What an amazing ability! I wish I had it too!
As Logan recounted his recent ordeal, John's expression gradually darkened.
"I'm very sorry about what happened to you."
John expressed sympathy for Logan's experience, saying in a low voice, "Victor has become increasingly insane since you left the team. He does whatever Stryker tells him to do. In the end, I couldn't stand continuing to hunt them down, so I also chose to leave the team."
"them?"
Logan astutely picked up on the key phrase and immediately pressed, "Who are they?"
John hesitated for a moment, his tone complicated: "Our fellow mutants, the other mutants, Stryker deceived us, saying that he was doing this to prevent people from falling into the hands of evil mutants, and that he was doing justice."
"But then I found out that it wasn't like that at all. That bastard Stryker even went after mutant children. He's absolutely insane!"
Du Mu asked, "What exactly does Stryker want to do with all these mutants he's captured?"
"I don't know the specific details either."
John shook his head: "It seems like we're going to take them to an island. After Logan left, I was the second to leave the team, so I didn't get to know a lot of the inside story. But you can ask Fred about this. He's been in the team longer than me and has more information, so he probably knows something."
Logan asked, "You mean Fred Dukes? Where is he?"
John pointed below the window: "He's in our boxing gym, but he's changed a lot; you probably wouldn't recognize him."
John then led the two to the boxing gym's training area, where they met Fred.
Logan stared in disbelief at the massive ball of flesh beside the boxing ring, whose waist was probably twice his size combined.
He couldn't help but say, "Could this guy be Fred Dukes? I remember him as a muscle-bound hunk. This one looks more like a monster that swallowed Fred whole."
Du Mu was a little surprised; he hadn't expected that this honest Logan would have the skill of making sarcastic remarks.
John explained in a low voice, "After something happened, he developed severe bulimia, and he ended up like this. But I suggest you don't mention words like 'fat' in front of him, or he'll get stressed."
"I see."
Logan nodded, stepped forward, and called out to the massive figure, "Hey, Fred, long time no see!"
The last time I saw this girl, she weighed around 80 pounds.
He pointed to the woman tattoo on Fred's thick arm. As Fred grew into a big stomach, the originally slender woman tattoo was stretched out, now looking like a slightly chubby girl weighing 200 pounds.
Fred looked down at his arm and chuckled. "Logan, you're still as funny as ever."
After the pleasantries, Logan got straight to the point: "Do you know where Victor is?"
Fred's eyes flickered slightly: "...I don't know."
Logan sensed that he was hiding something and stepped forward: "Old Ferdinand, for the sake of our past relationship, tell me what you know. This is very important."
Fred's expression suddenly changed: "You just called me... Fatty?"
Logan paused, startled: "I meant old..."
'
Before he could finish speaking, Fred slammed him into the air with a human-powered impact!
John said helplessly, "Didn't I remind you not to use those kinds of words?"
"I was talking about Old Frieza, not Old Fatty!"
Logan was speechless. Was it his accent or Fred's hearing that was off? How could he have misheard that?
He climbed out of the pile of debris, dusted himself off, and was about to go forward again when Du Mu pressed down on his shoulder.
"Let me do it."
"Are you sure you can do it?"
Logan looked at Du Mu with some suspicion.
"Don't worry, I'm best at persuading people with reason."
Du Mu smiled confidently and strode up to Fred.
[NPC: Fred Dukes]
Code Name: Meatball
【Favourability: 0】
[Comment: A big stomach can withstand tank bombardment, but not Wolverine's adamantium elbow.]
Upon seeing the message, Du Mu said, "Fatty, I'm here to negotiate."
"You call me Fatty too!?"
Upon hearing this, Fred's underlying code was instantly activated. He roared and charged forward, his massive belly wolf slamming into Du Mu, almost shouting that the happy hour was about to begin.
Du Mu neither dodged nor evaded, but pulled his right fist back, gathered his strength, and slammed it into the pressing belly!
Bang! !
With a muffled thud, Fred's massive body flew backward, crashing heavily into the elastic ropes beside the boxing ring. The ropes were stretched to their limit, groaning painfully as if they were about to snap.
Logan and John, sitting in the audience, stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with shock.
They knew Fred's abilities; his body had withstood tank shells without moving, making him a veritable human fortress.
But Du Mu, standing before him, sent him flying with just one punch!
After knocking Fred down, Du Mu did not stop.
He walked up to Fred and, before the other could get up, punched him mercilessly in the head!
Bang! !
Du Mu's force was immense, causing the entire boxing ring to tremble violently.
He asked, "Where is Victor?"
"I, I...."
'
Fred was so dizzy from the beating that he could barely speak.
Bang! !
Without hesitation, Du Mu threw another punch.
"Do you know or not?"
"Damn it! I'm going to..."
'
Bang! !
"Stop! Stop! I'll talk! I know where Victor is!"
After being punched more than a dozen times, Fred's memory was finally awakened, and he cried out.
He slumped on the table, his face bruised and swollen. His initial anger had long since dissipated, leaving only a look of utter despair.
Logan:
'
'
John:
'

You call this persuading people with reason?
Does it mean "the way" in physics?
Fred, panting, hurriedly explained, "Victor and Stryker are both on that island; they've been working together."
"What!?"
Logan lunged forward and grabbed Fred by the collar: "Victor and Stryker are in cahoots?!"
Fred swallowed hard. "Yeah, you didn't know? They've been working together for a while now. Victor is in charge of capturing people, and Stryker is in charge of sending them to the island."
"Fuck!!"
Logan shoved him away, cursing loudly, his eyes chillingly sinister: "So it was all a trap from beginning to end! No wonder Kayla got into trouble the day after Stryker approached me. They deliberately killed her so I'd willingly accept the adamantium!"
In a fit of rage, three adamantium claws shot out, cleaving the pillar beside him in two.
John's eyelids twitched; the repairs were probably going to cost a fortune.
Du Mu continued, "Who are you arresting?"
"Mutants... Rumor has it that Stryker uses them for experiments."
"What experiment?"
Fred avoided eye contact, seemingly unwilling to say more.
But seeing Du Mu raise his fist again, preparing to unleash the Great Memory Restoration Technique, he quickly said, "Stryker plans to combine their superpowers to create a living weapon."
Du Mu raised an eyebrow: "Living weapons?"
"Yes...yes."
Fred shrank back. "Stryker seems to have been experimenting on mutants, and that island is the main laboratory."
Logan's fists clenched so tightly they cracked, and he forced out the words through clenched teeth: "So, when he injected me with adamantium, it was just part of an experiment?"
Du Mu then asked, "Where is that island?"
Fearing Du Mu's fist, Fred honestly said, "I really don't know the exact location, but I heard that an experimental subject once escaped from there. His name was Remi Lebow, and he used to be a street swindler in New Orleans. The prison guards called him the King of Gamblers because he was so good at gambling that he almost never lost... That's all I know."
Seeing that the tracking of the mission objective had been updated as clues appeared, Du Mu let Fred go.
Having obtained the information, the two immediately decided to head to New Orleans.
John walked over then, his tone firm: "I'll go with you."
Logan glanced at him.
John scratched his head and said in a low voice, "I've done too many dirty jobs for Stryker, and I feel guilty about it. Consider this my atonement."
If he hadn't heard Fred's words, he might have been able to deceive himself, but now that he knows his captured kin are being used as test subjects, he can forget about getting a good night's sleep. He'll probably slap himself a few times when he wakes up at night.
Luo wanted to refuse; he didn't want to involve more people.
But Du Mu waved his hand: "Let him do it. His invisibility ability is still very useful."
John corrected him, "My ability is teleportation."
Du Mu was astonished: "You actually have two more abilities?"
John:
