American comics: Old Wolverine, do whatever he wants.

Chapter 44 Wolverine is still alive!

Outside the hotel, corpses were covered with white cloth, and the blood seeping from the bodies dyed the cloth red and white.

The bluestone floor was covered in bloodstains, and some scraps of meat that could not be cleaned thoroughly attracted a large number of green-headed flies.

The strong smell of blood could be smelled even from across the street, and the tragic scene even made many detectives who had seen big scenes feel nauseous.

"Oh my god, what the hell happened?"

Steve Rogers lifted a white cloth, and the hideous corpse made his pupils shrink.

Such a scene was rare even during World War II. There were more than 30 corpses, and not a single one was intact. Some were chopped in half or blasted into a pool of minced meat.

"The hotel has fallen into disrepair and the surveillance equipment has long been out of use. We don't know what happened."

An agent spoke helplessly.

The initial call came from local residents, who called the police several times, saying that a fierce fight had occurred. When the police arrived, there were only corpses all over the ground.

The local police understood that this could not be an ordinary gang fight. After preliminary investigation, they determined that supernatural forces were definitely involved.

After being reported to higher levels, SHIELD was soon alerted.

Currently, SHIELD agents are investigating all the details.

"The dead were all mercenaries, but one of them was special."

Natasha came over and flipped the tablet in her hand, which showed the information of these bodies. She selected one of them, "Donald Pierce, the head of a security company, is currently working for the laboratory of Project X."

"Lab X?"

Steve wondered.

"A biological laboratory."

Natasha paused, looked up at Steve, swallowed the words in her throat, and changed her words: "I don't know what it does specifically, maybe Fury needs to check it out."

"After preliminary investigation, it may be the work of mutants. Many of the cut parts of the body are already cooked."

Natasha looked at the corpses on the ground. The smell of burning some of the corpses lingered for a long time.

"Mutant?"

This unfamiliar term once again made Steve a little stunned.

Frozen in ice for seventy years, he missed the most glorious period of mutants, and in his era, the concept of mutants had not yet become popular.

"A human being with genetic mutations and super powers."

Natasha shrugged. "But they are almost extinct. It is rare to see them now."

"Before the Frozen, I knew some humans with super powers."

Steve nodded in understanding, squatted down, and carefully examined the bodies. After a while, he said, "It seems that the murderer is quite powerful. There seems to be no room for resistance from dozens of elite mercenaries."

Steve is experienced in combat and can clearly infer the strength of his opponent simply by looking at the state of the corpse at the time of death.

"Captain Rogers, Chris Lawrence confessed."

Suddenly, an agent strode over.

"Are you finally willing to confess?"

Steve stood up with a look of surprise.

In fact, the hotel tragedy was just an episode in his visit to Santa Fe City. His real mission was still the batch of Chitauri weapons.

As early as a few days ago, after Stark's monitoring device issued an early warning, they locked onto the Lawrence family's logistics warehouse and found the weapons in it. They immediately arrested the warehouse manager Chris Lawrence.

Although the arrest process went smoothly, the interrogation process was full of obstacles.

Steve had never seen anyone who could hold out for so many days under SHIELD's interrogation.

After several days, no information was obtained from him.

At present, they still don't know the source of the weapons or whether they have other equipment besides this batch.

But this is understandable. After all, that guy is the local prince of Santa Fe City. He is used to being omnipotent in Santa Fe City. He thinks that his local emperor father has the ability to rescue people from SHIELD. With such belief, it is normal for him to be more resolute.

What he didn't know was that the Lawrence family was also in crisis.

Seeing that they had gotten into trouble with the special organization, the original partners all turned against them, withdrawing their investment, withdrawing their shares, and having financial disputes, etc., which made Mr. Lawrence so busy that he had no time to rescue them. Of course, even if he had time, he couldn't take anyone away from S.H.I.E.L.D.

Chris's willpower obviously collapsed completely under the continuous torture.

"This is temporarily left to your SHIELD to handle."

Steve spoke to an agent, then quickly returned to the branch with Natasha.

In the dim interrogation room, Chris had long lost his former spirit, sitting slumped in a chair with bruises all over his body. Days of torture made him look very listless, his eyes were dull and lifeless, as if he had lost all hope in life.

Steve walked into the interrogation room, looked at the wounded Chris, and whispered, "Testimonies obtained under torture cannot be presented in court."

Natasha shrugged. "We don't plan to take legal action anyway."

Steve was a little speechless and waved his hand for an agent to come forward and bandage Chris.

This person is an important figure in this incident and he cannot die.

After the bandage was completed, Natasha slapped the table and asked, "Tell me, where did the weapon come from? Do you have any more?"

Chris raised his head weakly, looking exhausted. "It was obtained by the Juarez family. After I got the information, I sent someone to intercept the goods. There were only two boxes. As for whether the Juarez family still has them, I have to ask them."

Natasha rolled her eyes speechlessly, "Wouldn't it be fine if you had said this earlier?"

Something that can be solved with just one sentence has to be dragged out for so many days.

Chris didn't respond.

In fact, he did not want to expose the Juarez family, not because of his good relationship with the Juarez family, but because the Juarez family had the channels to smuggle those weapons.

He knew that those weapons were very powerful, and as long as the Juarez family was not exposed, he could still go to Juarez to intercept the goods in the future.

But the methods used by these agents were too horrible. If he continued to hold on, he might really die on the interrogation table...

After letting out a helpless breath, Chris struggled and asked, "Can you let me go now?"

"I'm afraid not yet."

Steve shook his head sullenly, "You've committed more crimes than just these."

He had read Chris's file. As the local prince of Santa Fe City, this guy had a long record of bad deeds. Just opening a page would be a felony punishable by execution.

For example, in order to open a factory, the entire family of residents in the selected area were killed, usury forced countless people to commit suicide by hanging, underground casinos were opened, organ trading was carried out, women were trafficked, etc. The crimes are so numerous that they are difficult to list.

"You're out of luck."

Natasha shrugged at Chris.

SHIELD may ignore these so-called gangsters, but Steve will not. He cannot tolerate evil.

"Please let me go. You should know that our Lawrence family is very powerful. As long as you let me go, you can ask for any amount of money. I can even give you the entire Lawrence family's assets."

Hearing this, Chris completely panicked and begged with all his might. He didn't want to stay in this damn place for even one more day. The torture from those crazy people at SHIELD made even death a luxury!
Steve ignored these words, but he still had a question in his mind that was difficult to answer, so he asked again: "I have another question. Among those who intercepted the cargo at the New York dock more than ten days ago, there was a guy with steel claws. Who was he?"

"Steel Claw?"

Chris was stunned for a moment, then reacted, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, and hurriedly said: "It's Wolverine, Logan Howlett, alias James!"

"impossible!"

When Natasha heard the word Wolverine, she immediately retorted, "He's dead!"

Since the establishment of S.H.I.E.L.D., they have been very interested in Wolverine, who was famous in the last century, but they failed to find him.

On these worlds, the only people who can hide from SHIELD are the dead!

"It's really him!"

Chris said with certainty, "There's no way I could have mistaken him. Even though that guy is a little old, he's definitely Wolverine!"

"Logan?"

Steve recalled, and the familiar face gradually became clear in his mind, "It's been seventy years, and he is still alive."

"Alive, really alive!"

Chris nodded repeatedly, and then quickly added: "By the way, I know where he lives. I'll take you there!"
