Chapter 42: Let's Fight BSS
This was a hidden emergency escape route, one that Charles must have anticipated when he established the school, preparing a retreat long before.
At this moment, most of the mutant students had already evacuated, and those who hadn’t were mostly captured by Strucker. Logan and his group were among the last to leave.
As they retreated into the dark passage, they drew the attention of nearly all the military forces. The soldiers even positioned themselves against Logan and his companions, and at that moment, Strucker finally made his appearance.
William Stryker was a man with a slightly plump figure. His hair was already streaked with gray, but he possessed a pair of hawk-like eyes. He stepped out from the crowd and glanced at Bai Luo, clearly not recognizing this Eastern mutant, assuming he was just another mutant.
Thus, Strucker quickly shifted his gaze to Logan in the center. He scrutinized Logan from head to toe and smiled, saying, "Logan... it's been a long time. You still look as young as you did back then."
Logan frowned and replied, "Do I know you?"
Strucker smiled slightly, about to speak when Bai Luo interjected, "William Stryker, I know you... and I know your plan. Charles is in your hands, isn't he? If I'm not mistaken, your plan is to use Charles and the Brainwave Amplifier to wipe out all mutants on Earth in one go—am I right?"
Regardless of whether this statement was true or false, the mutants present changed their expressions. Logan's thoughts were immediately pulled back as he looked at Strucker and said in a low voice, "The professor is in your hands?"
The most shocked person in the room was Strucker himself. His plan had been exposed by this unknown mutant standing before him. However, he maintained his composure on the surface; yet at this moment, his attention completely shifted from Logan to this unheard-of mutant. "Who are you?" he asked.
Bai Luo smiled and replied, "Who am I? Don't worry; I'm not a mutant. Your plan can't harm me in any way. But... my sister and my fiancée are both mutants, and I don't want them to die without reason."
Hearing Bai Luo's words, Logan couldn't help but turn his head to look at him, feeling an indescribable urge to scoff—what are you doing? Lorna is unconscious, and you're taking advantage of her like this! And why does it seem so serious?
For some reason, ever since Bai Luo appeared, Logan felt no tension at all.
However, when Bai Luo mentioned Bai Chu, Logan's expression subtly changed. But at that moment, Bai Luo was focused on Strucker and didn't notice Logan's slight abnormality.
"Your sister..." Strucker was well-versed in mutants. He stared at Bai Luo's distinctly Eastern features for a moment and evidently thought of an answer. He blurted out, "You are Bai Luo?!"
Upon hearing that name, everyone except Logan looked utterly confused. After all, the Kansas City Battle had been wrapped up by S.H.I.E.L.D., and Nick Fury had intentionally kept it under wraps, meaning Bai Luo's name was unlikely to be known to the public, especially since that event had happened twenty years ago.
Bai Luo said, "Since you've figured out who I am... and your plan is about to endanger my fiancée and my sister..."
He slowly set down Lorna, whom he had been carrying, pushing her towards Sean Ashmore behind him. Taking a small step forward, he smiled and continued, "And here you are, the ultimate baddie, right in front of me—shouldn't we just settle this here and now?"
Strucker's expression changed. The Kansas City battle was not a secret for someone of his military rank. Moreover, he had spent years studying mutants and those with special abilities. As a non-mutant special Ability User, Bai Luo was a key target of Strucker's research. He could recite the details of the Kansas City Battle from memory and knew just how powerful Bai Luo truly was.
If this man decided to go all out, even with so many fully armed soldiers around him, they might not be able to stop him from killing Strucker.
And Bai Luo... when he was verbose, he could go on endlessly; but when it came time for action, he was swift and decisive.
The moment his menacing words hung in the air, he moved.
He holstered his empty silver gun and his figure shot forward like lightning, targeting William Stryker ahead.
Since this guy was the ultimate villain in this mutant storyline and just happened to be standing right in front of him, why wait? Should he let the tiger return to the mountain?
At the same moment, Strucker began to retreat.
Behind him were his subordinates; he only needed to take a step back to position himself within the protective barrier of his own warriors as a shield against Bai Luo.
Strucker watched as Bai Luo closed in almost instantly and said in a low voice, "Open fire! Shoot to kill!"
Strucker intended to retreat slightly for appearances' sake but quickly realized that as Bai Luo charged in, he raised both hands and knocked down two heavily armored soldiers weighing at least two hundred pounds each with ease.
This guy was incredibly fierce; when a gun barrel was thrust toward him, he simply raised his hand to block it. Amidst the flying bullets, he threw a punch that sent the two-hundred-pound soldier crashing through a wall behind him.
Logan once again extended his claws and shouted, "Bai Luo!"
Bai Luo heard the shout and continued to press forward, relentlessly pursuing Strucker. He said, "You all go ahead and protect my fiancée!"
Logan glanced at Bai Luo, who seemed to be moving through the group of warriors as if they were nothing. He truly believed that these people could not pose any real threat to Bai Luo. However, he had another thought—upon seeing Strucker, he felt a strange sense of familiarity.
Strucker's remark, "Long time no see," seemed to suggest that he might have some knowledge of Logan's past.
The concept of memory had always been closely tied to Logan's fate. Recovering his memories was an essential part of his long life and the driving force behind his actions.
After hesitating for a moment and looking at Rascal and the unconscious Lorna, he finally gritted his teeth and decided to retreat with them.
Rascal, however, kept glancing back at Bai Luo, staring intently. "Logan, do you know this guy?"
Meanwhile, Sean Ashmore watched his girlfriend gaze at Bai Luo with starry eyes, wondering where this Eastern figure had come from.
