Chapter 40: Reborn, Embrace Hope
40
Li Wei stood behind Professor X for a long time...
The feeling of Professor X's full strength at close range made the X-gene fruit in Li Wei's mind mature rapidly.
And this is not all. The energy that scattered in Professor X's brain was not completely consumed. While completing his own task, the old professor also directed the gentle energy accumulated in the spherical room into the golden fruit tree in Li Wei's brain.
Li Wei, who was happy from the sky, had no time to express his gratitude, so he decisively adjusted the direction of the fruit tree's energy...
‘Space Capsules’, ‘Nanomen’, and the ‘fighting fruits’ he lacks most at present, and in the end, he even cultivated more than half of the ‘shooting fruits’.
If so much energy is exclusively provided with one high-level fruit such as "Divine Power" and "Force", it can ripen about one-tenth of it, saving Li Wei several years of sunbathing.
However, Li Wei knew the principle of being down-to-earth in doing things. The items and skills he chose were what he needed most at the moment, and they were also indispensable for future advancement.
Time is temporarily on his side, because since Professor X's energy can be absorbed, that is to say, the golden fruit tree is not only watered with sunlight, rain and dew, and it can also accept more advanced energy.
This source of energy is probably not easy to find, but it is not completely hopeless.
Laying the foundation and waiting for the opportunity, Li Wei believes that he can go far.
Professor X's body was rapidly decaying when Li Wei was enjoying joy. The green potion was not a real antidote, but a more vicious poison. It could stimulate the potential of mutants, but after that, the mutants would become weaker.
Professor X's excessive use of the drug completely led his body to death, until in the end, his whole body was like a sand statue, which began to collapse in the energy tide in the room, leaving only a silver glowing figure sitting in a wheelchair.
When Professor X's body disintegrated, a brainwashing storm that swept the world stopped...
Among the uninfluenced people in the world, four were in this room, Logan, Caliban, Levi and Laura.
Seeing Professor X die in front of him, Logan's eyes turned gray, as if there was nothing else to nostalgic for this world.
Professor X's phantom seemed to feel Logan's thoughts. He controlled the wheelchair and turned to Logan's direction, then held his hand and said, "Logan, only by having hope can you find happiness. When despair reaches the end, as long as you are willing to open your arms, you can see where hope is..."
Logan shook his head exhausted and said, "Charles, I'm tired. Maybe death is my antidote. You are dead. Our agreement on SunZhuZhuZhuZhuZhuZhuZhuChuZhuChuZhuChuZhuChuZhuChuZhuChuZhuChuZhuChuZhuChuZhuChuZhuChuZhuChuZhuChuZhuChuZhuZhuZhuXiu, let me find a place to wait for death quietly."
Professor X looked at Laura and Levi not far away. He saw from Levi's brain how to rebirth Logan. It was also the memory in Levi's brain that inspired him and helped him find a way to save the remaining mutants, but all this could not arouse Logan's will to survive...
It is very simple to modify Logan's memory, but Professor X respects Logan. He is a real warrior and deserves the highest courtesy.
Li Wei felt Laura holding her hand tightly and looking nervously at Logan, who was extremely tired. The kind of intimacy that originated from the genetic level and the worship he had established since childhood could not be erased.
Listening to Laura muttering in Latin, "Don't die, don't die~"
Levi squatted down and hugged Laura's shoulders, saying, "Go and tell him in person, tell him that there are people who need him, tell him that life can become different, tell him that hope is always there..."
Laura glanced at Levi seriously. She hesitated for a moment, took out the treasured comics from her small bag, and then slowly walked to Logan's side...
"Don't die, we have 'Eden', and everyone has 'Eden' in their hearts, there are flowers, grass, lovely cattle and sheep, and fruit trees full of fruits...
Don't die, I can't walk away from 'Eden' alone..."
As she said that, Laura put the comics rolled up in her hands into Logan's hand. Looking at Lao Lang's tired eyes, she reached out and touched Logan's gray beard, and suddenly said with a smile: "You are Wolverine, we are all looking at you, Ricardo, Rebecca, Maria, Dela, Cassie, Poppy...
You taught us to fight for freedom, and you haven’t watched us grow up yet!”
Li Wei clearly saw Professor X's arrangement for the remaining mutants...
Some extremely bad mutants have their memories washed away and their abilities are sealed, but most of the remaining ones have begun a new life.
Most of them live in remote countryside, avoiding the toxic GM foods by self-sufficiency, among which the ‘Eden’s’ people are, and they are about to send someone to associate with Ricardo and the others.
Li Wei looked at Lao Lang's eyes and immediately stepped forward and said, "Hey, man, you may not know, I have a 'bird' named Daila, who is also a mutant. I want to take her to open a restaurant on the beachfront in Los Angeles...
Laura can go there too, but I don't know what they can eat, you know there are poisonous foods everywhere out there now.
Man, I need a qualified food buyer, and more friends will come to visit me in the future. I have to treat them with something I can take.
You really have to help me, otherwise I might not be able to raise the two girls.
Laura is a good girl, she loves you, and it is not a manly way to disappoint a girl like this.
Man, come and try it, sunshine, beach, bikini, ice beer, band, I can't guarantee that you can feel happiness, but man, there are ways to die, right!"
At the end of Li Wei's words, Professor X clearly felt that Logan was slightly shaken. Professor X, who was about to disappear completely, turned his face emitting a glimmer of light to Li Wei and said 'Thank you'...
With his hand reached out and pressed it on Logan's forehead, Professor X said with a kind smile: "Logan, you still have time, don't escape anything, bravely embrace the warmth..."
Professor X said in the end, his whole body was emitting a warm light around as if evaporating light.
Professor X's last burst of energy wiped out the consciousness of X-24, and then guided Logan's consciousness into the brain of X-24.
Seeing Logan's "corpse" lying on the ground, he smiled like a relief. Professor X, whose body had dissipated, suddenly stood up and nodded slightly to Li Wei...
"Thank you~"
The last glimmer of light hit Li Wei's mind, forming a silver guard guarding Li Wei's brain.
Li Wei felt it and found that this was a 'ambal' to avoid the invasion of his brain. Before he could thank Professor X, everything was over.
