Chapter 24 - Mental Resistance

"Wolverine will fight against the clone, and due to the intervention of a farmer, the clone was severely injured."

"At this moment, the clone is at its weakest in terms of combat power, which is also the best time for me to take action."

As Alex said this, a glint flashed in his eyes.

"As long as I capture the clone, I can then study the Self-healing factor in his body and replicate it."

"As long as I don't do anything foolish, inject Adamantium into my body, and avoid consuming genetically modified food, my Self-healing Ability will become extremely powerful."

"My survival ability will reach an astonishing level."

"Only by staying alive, only by not dying, can the future hold endless possibilities."

Soon enough, Alex arrived in Oklahoma City.

After entering the city, he found a place that was conveniently located in every corner of the city.

In a relatively central location, next to the gathering point of the local casino, there were several local large casinos.

Sitting in a corner, browsing the local news on his phone, just as Alex was tirelessly scrolling through the news, suddenly, a terrifying buzzing sound erupted.

An immense spiritual wave of the invisible spread in all directions.

Alex, who was browsing his phone, instantly froze in place, unable to move.

"Professor X has lost control!"

"And the other party is near me!"

Alex never expected that the place he randomly chose happened to be not far from Professor X, Wolverine, and the others.

And shortly after he arrived, he encountered Professor X's loss of control.

At the same time, due to the powerful spiritual impact, Alex's ears were filled with buzzing, making him very uncomfortable.

However, he quickly noticed something.

That was, he could slightly bend his fingers and make extremely slow movements.

Although it was far from the level of Wolverine's actions when facing Professor X, it already surpassed ordinary people, and even other mutants who were completely immobilized under suppression.

"What's going on? Why do I seem to have some resistance to Professor X's psychic power?"

Alex knew that Wolverine had a certain level of psychic resistance, but he didn't know whether it came from his Adamantium or his Self-healing factor.

But he didn't understand why he also had a bit of psychic resistance. Although it was not as strong as Wolverine's, Alex was still somewhat shocked.

After all, Wolverine's psychic resistance was among the top even among the mutant forces.

It was not suitable to compare himself with him.

He quickly pondered the factors that could generate psychic resistance in his body.

Soon, a flash of insight came to his mind.

"I understand, I know why it's like this!"

"The Super Soldier Serum!"

"The Super Soldier Serum not only strengthened my body, but also strengthened my mind in that terrifying agony."

"To be precise, I endured the destructive and crushing pain in my body, which greatly trained my willpower, leading to the enhancement of my psychic power."

"Compared to ordinary people, my willpower is stronger, which is why I have a certain resistance to Professor X's psychic power."

Alex didn't expect that he still had a certain level of psychic resistance.

This was an unexpected discovery, a pleasant surprise.

Just as Alex was contemplating, Professor X's attack suddenly stopped.

Alex understood that Wolverine had injected a sedative into Professor X.

His body regained its freedom and he could move easily again.

He stood up and looked towards the high wall next to him, which was behind the neighboring casino.

That is the only place around where people can live.

So Wolverine and the others should be there.

Alex quickly started his motorcycle and headed towards the casino.

But when Alex arrived, he didn't see any sign of Wolverine and the others.

He waited for a while.

He only saw a group of mercenaries from the Essex Group, some running out of the casino, and some getting off a van.

One of them was the head of security for the Essex Group, a cyborg named Donald, with his arm transformed into a mechanical form.

He was one of the people who had been chasing after Wolverine and the little wolf girl from the beginning.

Alex saw Donald angrily pounding on the car door and growling, "Damn it!"

Seeing this, Alex understood that Wolverine had already left.

But Alex didn't mind.

Because the Essex Group ahead would lead him to Wolverine and the others.

They would lead him to X-24, the clone of Wolverine.

Because within Donald's team, there was Caliban, who could sense mutants within a 20-mile radius.

So they could easily find Wolverine and the others.

Alex parked his car on the side of the road and kept an eye on Donald's team using his peripheral vision.

He was very careful not to be discovered by Donald's people.

After all, this group of people specialized in security work and must have excellent counter-surveillance abilities.

Alex picked up his phone and pretended to be an ordinary person, flipping through it.

Soon, Donald's team started moving.

The convoy drove out of the front gate of the casino and headed north, towards Eden.

Seeing the convoy move, Alex put away his phone and hung back behind the convoy to avoid being noticed.

That's how Alex drove for another half day.

Suddenly, he noticed a small car speeding out and leaving the convoy, moving at a faster pace.

Seeing this, Alex frowned slightly, "What's going on? Why is this car from the convoy running so fast?"

But Alex didn't chase after it.

Because Donald's car was still in the convoy, and Caliban was in it.

He just needed to follow Donald's car, no need to pay attention to the others.

So he drove for another ten minutes.

Finally, the speed of the convoy ahead slowed down.

They eventually stopped in front of a farmhouse.

Alex had turned off his car lights long ago, so it was pitch black.

He parked his car on the side and walked up, lowering his footsteps.

Just at that moment, he heard a mournful roar from the front, "Charles!"

That was Wolverine's voice!

Seeing this, Alex's expression tightened, instantly understanding that Professor X had died, killed by the Wolverine clone.

"How did this happen so quickly? Weren't they just arriving?" Alex muttered to himself.
