Enhancing Self-Healing Factors: A New Path of Evolution!

Chapter 11 Enhancing Self-Healing Factors: A New Path of Evolution!

"Pack up, we'll be on our way in ten minutes."

Although Logan was exhausted and in dire need of rest, he didn't want to spend the night surrounded by corpses.

Moreover, no one knows whether there are other pursuers behind them, so staying here would be a dangerous decision.

"The bloodstains on the car have been cleaned up."

He got up, walked past the three men, and went straight out of the gun emplacement.

"Is this guy really sixty years old?"

Samuel remained stunned; he simply couldn't reconcile the sight before him with that of a disheveled old man.

The idea that ten strong, armed gang members could be killed in minutes by a sixty-year-old man is a joke!

"The file says he is sixty-nine years old."

Josh responded in a low voice, looking at the faces of these corpses filled with fear before they died. Although his face also showed surprise, he was not unable to accept it.

The person Chris singled out as the team leader on their first delivery mission was definitely not an ordinary individual. Moreover, before they left, Chris had given him a private warning, saying that he was a dangerous guy.

Anyone who can inspire fear in the Lawrence family must possess strength that is unimaginable to ordinary people.

On the other side, Conrad stared silently at the corpses scattered on the ground. He tried to appear calm, but the shock in his eyes was hard to hide.

Even top-tier mercenaries would find it difficult to easily eliminate ten heavily armed enemies in this confined space, without time to set any traps.

But the old man not only did it, he also appeared to be completely unharmed!

He subconsciously glanced back at Logan's departing figure, his eyes filled with apprehension.

Although he still disliked this arrogant old man,

The opponent truly has the ability to turn me into a corpse instantly.

"Let's drive the truck out. Cleaning up those bloodstains will take a lot of time. If we just drive it into the city like this, we'll definitely be stopped by the cops."

Josh patted the stunned Conrad on the shoulder and then got into a truck first.

Conrad and Samuel stopped talking, moved the bodies blocking their way, and started the truck.

Meanwhile, in a toilet next to the wooden warehouse.

Logan tried to turn on the bathroom light, but it was clear that the abandoned logging camp had no power supply.

Fortunately, the moonlight was bright tonight, and the broken ceiling in the bathroom could not block the moonlight. In addition, Logan's eyes were clearer in the dark, so he could still see very clearly even without any lights.

"Cough cough cough!!!"

Logan braced himself against the dusty sink, the strenuous activity exacerbating his condition, causing him to cough violently and uncontrollably.

He reached out and wiped away the thick layer of dust from the mirror. In the moonlight, his tired face was reflected in the mirror.

Logan lowered his head; he couldn't look directly at that weathered face with bloodshot eyes.

He struggled to take off his coat, revealing several dark gun holes that looked particularly conspicuous.

pat!

Logan gritted his teeth, all the muscles in his body tensing up at that moment.

One by one, shrapnel fragments were forced out of the bullet holes by the pressure of the muscles.

"hiss!"

The intense pain made Logan gasp; it felt like having a knife pulled out of his body!

Shrapnel landed on the washbasin, making a clanging sound as it hit the ceramic basin.

The excruciating pain gradually numbed Logan, beads of sweat constantly dripping from his forehead and splashing onto the bloodied shrapnel. His body trembled uncontrollably, and his hands, gripping the sink, almost crushed it.

As the last shrapnel was expelled, Logan finally relaxed, leaning against the sink and panting heavily, looking as if he had just finished a marathon.

In the mirror, the bullet holes all over his body did not heal as quickly as before, and the dark gun muzzles were so terrifying that it was impossible to look directly at them.

"Damn it!"

The feeling of weakness rising through his body inexplicably ignited a surge of anger in Logan, who then hurled a punch that shattered the mirror.

He is Wolverine, and neither the terrifying power of nuclear bombs nor the Phoenix Force, which is capable of destroying everything, could make him back down.

But now, just a few bullets have left him exhausted. How can he be content with that?

"By the way, prestige..."

After venting his emotions, Logan remembered his new ability.

That might help me change my current situation.

Endurance: 6

【Strength】: 7

[Agility]: 7

Speed: 7

[Intelligence]: 5

[Defense]: 7

[Willpower]: 10

[Fighting Skills]: 7

[Prestige]: 4

[Special Attributes]: None available

[Special Ability]: Self-Healing Factor

[Current physical condition]: Injured and bleeding, gradually weakening, in poor condition!

[Free Points]: 1

[Enhancement Points]: 3

Logan noticed that there were now two additional values: Free Points and Enhancement Points, compared to before.

Clearly, this was obtained after the battle just now.

Logan is clear about the free points.

It can freely increase any of its attributes, such as speed, to make itself faster. If it is maxed out, even the Flash would probably feel inferior in its presence.

If you invest in Strength and max it out, the power your body can unleash will be so great that even a Red Tank would have to temporarily give way.

As for these enhancement points, they are obviously used to enhance one's own abilities.

However, Logan wasn't in a hurry to use it, and instead took another look at the other options.

[Self-healing factor (can be enhanced)]

[Self-Healing Factor]: This ability is currently in a weakened state and cannot maintain its initial self-healing speed. This is due to aging and the suppression of the X gene. You can strengthen this ability to enhance the resistance of the X gene and thus break the suppression.

Logan knew very well that the reason his healing factor had become so weak was due to genetically modified food.

This caused their bodies to no longer be able to slow down the aging process.

As the body ages, the already suppressed self-healing factors become even less effective.

Fortunately, the awakening of his new abilities gave him hope of restoring his self-healing factor.

Once the self-healing factor is strengthened to a certain extent, the suppression can be broken, thus restoring the initial effect. At that time, the self-healing factor will be able to repair its aging body and may even regain its youth.

"Free points increased".

Logan no longer hesitated and used all three points to enhance the self-healing factor.

He knew the importance of the self-healing factor; none of the other options were as important as it.

"Not working?"

Logan looked down at his own body.

After increasing the number of points by three, Logan did not feel any obvious changes in his body. The several dark bullet holes were still very conspicuous and showed no sign of healing.

"It seems that three points are not enough to significantly enhance the self-healing factor."

Logan muttered to himself, deciding to stop thinking about it.

Just because it's not possible now doesn't mean it won't be possible in the future.

As your prestige increases, you'll gain more points, and one day you'll be able to fully restore your self-healing factor.

As for the remaining free point, Logan wasn't in a hurry to use it.

He is currently living in anonymity and will not be in great danger in the short term. There is no need to enhance other attributes for the time being. Rather than blindly adding them, it is better to save this one for future needs.

Boom boom boom!

There was a knock on the wooden door of the toilet.

"James, are you all set? We've taken care of everything, time to hit the road."

Samuel's slightly concerned voice came from outside the door.

"That's good."

Logan put his coat back on, concealing all his wounds under his cheap suit, before opening the door and going out.

The convoy set off again, driving overnight towards Nevada.
