Chapter 14 A Turn of Events
"What are your plans? Where are you going?"
Sitting in the truck, George asked the nurse Gabriela and the fat female driver Issa.
In the movie, Gabriela sent the mutant children to the border of North Dakota, but it was not just because she read the comics and thought that it was the last refuge for mutants.
She is not a child, how could she believe in the comics.
In addition, Rickdo, the eldest of the mutant children, also used the radio to contact unknown forces.
Because of George's mutant identity and the help just now, Gabriela already had a foundation of trust in George, and did not hide it at this time.
"We have to rush to the border of North Dakota before five o'clock next Friday, and then cross the border to Canada."
"Why go to Canada, why at that time?"
George showed a trace of confusion on his face.
Gabriela explained:
"We have checked the relevant information. Before the mutants disappeared, Canada was the most friendly country to mutants, so we took the initiative to contact the Canadian government before we decided to help the children escape.
They are also willing to accept these children, but they don't want to cause trouble.
So we must rush to the border before five o'clock next Friday. At that time, they will try to interfere with the satellites in that area and then meet us on the other side of the border."
"It turned out to be the Canadian government."
George suddenly realized that he had watched the X-Men series, so he knew the general situation, but he didn't know some specific details.
He didn't know whether the Canadian government was close to mutants or not so repulsive to mutants.
However, he frowned again, because he personally didn't trust the Canadian government very much.
The government is not an individual. There are many things to consider, and changing a leader may change a position. Even if the Canadian government did not reject mutants in the past, what about now?
Will these mutant children become new experimental subjects after they go there?
He would definitely not choose such an unsecured thing.
So, he also told Gabriela his opinion.
Gabriela was obviously surprised that George, a mutant who had never left the experimental base, could have such long-term considerations.
However, her answer was also helpless:
"There is no way. Even if we know that there may be danger, we have no choice, because we really can't think of a better way."
Working in this cruel experimental base, how could they not understand the ugliness of human nature, and how could they not worry that the children would enter another hell after they went there.
But they had no choice, because they were all a group of people at the lowest level of society with no power, but the kindness in their hearts had not yet been extinguished.
The children would definitely die if they stayed in this experimental base, and there might be some hope if they went to Canada.
"Yes, sometimes life is so helpless."
George also sighed when he heard this.
In his previous life, he was also at the bottom of society. He had experienced many helpless choices, but they were not so cruel.
But after thinking about it carefully, he didn't have any good way, and he was unfamiliar with this world.
But he would not leave his fate in the hands of the Canadian government. After sending these children to the border, he would leave and hide.
Risking to save these children was already a humane act. To protect these children, it was impossible to follow them to Canada and be curbed by the Canadian government.
Escorting them to the border was already his limit.
At this moment, he had obviously forgotten the selfish reason that convinced him at the fork in the road.
"We are in Juarez. We will go directly to the border after purchasing some necessary daily necessities, then enter New Mexico, and go all the way north to North Dakota.
If everything goes well, it will only take two days!"
After two hours of high-speed driving, the truck entered the city of Bires in northeastern Mexico, and George also stuck his head out to look out.
He had heard of this city in his previous life, but it was not a good reputation.
Bires, on the northeastern border of Mexico, on the south bank of the Grande River, across the river from El Paso, USA, is known as one of the most violent cities in the world. At its craziest, nearly 15,000 people were killed in crimes in six years.
This city gathers the largest number of flour vendors in Mexico and is the most important source of flour in the United States.
"Big news, the CEO of Stark Group, the famous playboy Tony Stark, was kidnapped in Kunar Province, Afghanistan today and his whereabouts are still unknown."
The truck stopped in front of a large supermarket. When Gabriela and Isa went to buy daily necessities, George, who stayed behind, was suddenly attracted by the news broadcast on the TV in front of the supermarket.
"The incident when Iron Man was born!"
His body shook, and something suddenly came to his mind, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.
"Maybe, there will be a new turn of events."
Recalling all the Marvel movies he had watched in his previous life, he thought about it carefully and had a new idea in his mind.
For him, it is better to believe in the character of Tony Stark than to believe in the character of the government. Although this guy is a little more philandering and proud, his character is still fine.
Moreover, as one of the largest capitalists in the United States, even the government can't do anything to him. If he doesn't want to hand over the Iron Man suit, he won't hand it over.
Just like Professor X, the reason why he could open a mutant school in New York was not only because the X-Men were strong, but more importantly, Professor X was a wealthy man himself, and his family was also a well-known capitalist.
If they could get the protection of Tony Stark, then these mutant children would not only be able to get rid of a lot of troubles, but also perhaps enjoy the education and life of normal people.
And he could also have a safe place to study magic.
As for whether he would be involved in some subsequent events and face greater danger if he was related to Tony Stark.
There was actually no way to deal with this kind of thing. We could only say that we should solve the current troubles first, win a relatively safe period of time to improve our strength as much as possible, and only when we are strong can we do it.
Moreover, he also had his own ideas about whether to participate in the major events in the future.
If this was the movie universe, he would definitely stay away. Even if Thanos snapped his fingers, he would be rescued in the end anyway, so there was no need to participate. Wouldn't it be better to study magic well?
But this is not the movie universe, but an unknown Marvel universe mixed with mutants, so it's hard to say.
Because it is very likely that a major event will destroy the entire Earth, and since he lives on this planet, he naturally cannot escape.
Rather than leaving his fate to those superheroes, it is better to leave it to himself.
Maybe if he helps at a critical moment, he can get through those major events, so that the Earth and himself can be safe.
So contact, that is sooner or later.
"Now, the most important thing is how to rescue Tony Stark and make him owe me a favor."
George touched his chin and fell into deep thought.
If he wants Tony Stark, the top rich man, to owe him a favor and help them sincerely, it can only be a life-saving grace.
But with him alone and his current strength, how can he rescue Tony Stark? He doesn't even know the specific location of the other party, he only knows that it seems to be in a cave in the desert.
