Carol finally came to his senses from his frantic eating, with an embarrassed look on his face, but he never stopped chewing. He finished three bars of chocolate in a few minutes and was already eating the fourth.
Luke made some tea himself, authentic Chinese green tea that he had just bought at the supermarket.
Selena continued to drink her Dr. Pepper, and Carol got a can of energy drink.
Luke took a sip of tea and said, "Miss Carol, why did you come here?"
Carol paused for a moment and lowered her head slightly: "I... I don't really have any ideas, I just want to say thank you in person."
Luke: "But you are being hunted by the FBI. If you come to my place, you will be easily discovered. This is not a wise choice."
Carol stammered, "I... I don't know where to go."
Luke was silent for a moment, various thoughts turning in his mind, and finally he made a decision: "Carol, in fact, if you fall into the hands of the FBI team yesterday, your fate may not be too bad. But if you fall into the hands of the military, you might as well die directly."
Carol exclaimed and looked at him in surprise.
Luke had no intention of explaining, so he continued, "You're a mutant, right?"
Carol stood up suddenly, took a few steps back quickly, and took a alert posture.
Luke remained calm: "Don't be surprised, I just guessed. Now, I want to ask you some questions, you must answer me truthfully, then I will tell you a way out. Are you willing?"
Carol hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded. She had always been an ordinary girl and had no way of dealing with her current predicament.
Luke pointed to the sofa and said, "Sit down."
Carol sat down obediently.
Luke asked, "Actually, we went to investigate the case of your shooting yesterday, so I know your general situation. Can you tell me why you went to the warehouse of the Mexican gang?"
Carol gritted his teeth and said, "They sent someone to kill me. I know the man who came to kill me. His name is Franco, and he is in cahoots with the manager."
Luke: "Why should I kill you?"
Carol: "Because when I got off the night shift, I saw them transporting drugs to the warehouse behind. I was scared and ran away. Who knew they could see me clearly? I had only been away from work for three days when Franco broke into my apartment and killed me."
Selina's face was full of confusion: It was so weird to listen to a living person saying in front of me that he was murdered.
Luke: "Then what are you doing in the warehouse?"
Carol: "I want revenge. If I can find Franco there, I'll kill him. If their cargo is still there, I'll burn it."
Luke hehe: Women’s desire for revenge is indeed very strong.
Hearing this, what Carol said basically matched the information he knew.
However, Luke still asked: "Where do you get the courage to seek revenge on the Mexican gangs? You were killed by them just now."
Carol hesitated, then said, "I don't know either, but when I woke up again, I found that my body had changed. It was very strong and my movements were very flexible."
Luke understood.
Although the name of the self-healing ability suggests that it only affects physical recovery, think about who are the mutants who possess this ability.
Sabretooth, Wolverine, Deathly Hound, Deadpool, etc., almost all of them are masters of melee combat.
It would be strange if the self-healing ability did not add any bonus to physical strength and agility.
Carol may have awakened her x-gene when she was on the verge of death, and her self-healing ability has just emerged. Her strength and agility are only slightly more than twice the normal level, otherwise Luke would not have been able to defeat her so easily.
Of course, this is already terrible.
Carol is a young girl, weighing no more than 40 kilograms, but she has twice the strength and agility of an ordinary person, which is enough for her to easily jump three or four meters high.
Luke nodded, "Okay, I have no problem with that. If you want to escape from your current predicament, there is only one way. Go to Westchester, New York, find Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, and let Professor X take you in. Then you will be safe."
Carol was stunned: "Teenagers?"
Luke looked at her and couldn't help but smile. "I've read your information. Although you are 23 years old now, you have just awakened. You can still seek help. After all, they have students, but they also need teachers and even auxiliary teaching staff. They are basically all mutants there, and no one will discriminate against you."
Carol was a little bit incredulous: "Really? There really is such a place?"
Luke nodded. "So, your problem is actually just how to enter Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters safely. It's actually a public place for some institutions. The FBI that arrested you should also have surveillance personnel there."
Carol's face suddenly became sad.
Luke thought about it, walked back to his room, and came out a moment later with a stack of US dollars in his hand.
He put the money in Carol's hand and said, "There are about 8,000 US dollars here. Take the money and go to places where there are no surveillance. You can buy a black car or take a ride. Remember not to go into big cities, avoid all possible surveillance, and cover your appearance at all times. In addition, if you arrive in New York, you must also pay attention to concealment, and never approach Xavier's School for the Gifted at will. My suggestion is to observe from a distance, and it is best to ask for help from several powerful mutants in the school when they are out. Among them, Professor X is called Charles, and now... he should be a bald old man in a wheelchair. Storm Ororo is a young black woman with white hair, Cyclops Scott is a white young man wearing a special eye patch, and Dark Phoenix Jean Grey is a young white woman."
The two women were stunned.
After a moment, Selina asked, "How... do you know so much? Could it be..."
Luke shook his head: "I'm not a mutant, but don't forget Robert."
Selina suddenly realized: "Oh, Robert knows so many people. Did you hear it from him?"
Luke smiled but said nothing. He continued to say to Carol who was still in a daze: "Remember, concealment is the most important thing. You should understand how difficult it is to deal with the FBI chasing you. Once they catch up with you, you will not be able to escape."
Carol looked at the stack of US dollars in his hand, and asked after a moment: "Why... did you help me?"
She glanced at Selina subconsciously.
Selena is a hot Latin American beauty and a police officer. She has a lively and heroic, sexy and capable temperament.
Carol is just an ordinary white woman, at most pretty. In terms of overall appearance, she is at least one level lower than Selena.
It's unlikely that Luke helped her like this just because she was pretty.
