The landing zone … this is it! 著陸區域……就是這裡了！ Logan rolled onto his back, sucking in the cool night air. Heart racing, he lifted a shaky arm and glanced at the phosphorescent hands on the Korean watch. 羅根翻過身來，仰面呼吸著清涼的夜空氣。他心跳加速，顫抖著抬起手臂，看了看韓國手錶上發著微光的指針。 Nine minutes to go . . . nine minutes to find Miko, get her back here . . . then we can all go home. 還有九分鐘……九分鐘之內找到美子，把她帶回來……然後我們就可以回家了。 Logan moved away from Langram and got to his knees. But as he tried to rise, a shape loomed out of the darkness, and a booted foot smashed into his face. 羅根從蘭格拉姆身邊退開，跪倒在地。但就在他試圖站起來時，一個人影從黑暗中冒出，一隻穿著靴子的腳狠狠踢在了他的臉上。 Logan blinked back the explosion of light inside his head. Harsh voices barked at him. When Logan’s eyes focused again, he saw khaki uniforms all around him. North Korean regulars. 羅根努力忍住腦海中那陣強烈的光亮。刺耳的聲音在他耳邊響起。當羅根的視線再次清晰時，他看到周圍全是卡其色制服的人們——北韓的普通士兵。 Must’ve been waiting for us. Figures. This mission was FUBAR from zero hour… 一定是一直在等著我們吧。果然如此。從一開始，這次任務就一團糟…… More orders shouted in Korean. Warily, the soldiers hemmed Logan in, though none seemed willing to get within reach of him. 更多用韓語下達的命令不斷傳來。士兵們小心翼翼地將羅根圍住，但似乎沒有人願意靠近他。 “Know me by reputation, eh?” he muttered, aware that the bayonet was still in its sheath on his belt. 「是聽說過我的名聲才來找我的吧？」他低聲說道，同時注意到腰帶上的刺刀仍然插在鞘中。 “Get up now, get up,” the officer cried, no doubt exhausting his entire English vocabulary. 「快起來，立刻起來！」那名警官大喊著，想必已經把所有的英語單詞都用光了。 “Yeah, yeah, you got me.” Logan staggered to his feet, hands above his head. A soldier moved within arms length to grab Langram, but Logan chased him back with a lunge and a sneer. 「是啊，你抓到我了。」羅根踉蹌著站起身來，雙手舉過頭頂。一名士兵試圖靠近羅根並抓住他，但羅根猛地衝過去，用嘲笑的口吻將那名士兵逼退。 “No move, no move!” the officer screamed, waving his pistol. 「別動，別動！」警員揮著手槍大喊。 Logan weighed his options, wondering if he should strike now or wait for a better chance—which might disappear altogether if the Koreans noticed he was still armed. Then excited voices emerged from the darkness beyond the circle of soldiers. 羅根權衡著各種選擇，思考著是應該現在行動，還是等待更好的機會——但如果韓國人發現他仍持有武器，那麼更好的機會可能就永遠不會出現了。此時，士兵們所圍成的圈圈之外的黑暗中，傳來了激動的聲音。 The ranks parted, and two soldiers tossed a beaten and bloody Miko to the ground next to Langram. 隊伍分開了，兩名士兵將受傷且滿身是血的美子扔到蘭格拉姆身旁的地面上。 Logan wanted to go to her, but knew better. He noticed Miko stir, and her eyes fluttered, to focus finally on him. Weakly, she tried to smile, but gagged on blood instead. Logan saw that the woman’s front teeth were missing. 羅根很想過去看看她，但他知道不該這麼做。他注意到美子動了動，眼睛微微顫動，最後看向了他。她虛弱地想笑，卻被血嗆住了。羅根這才發現，她的門牙不見了。 “You dirty bastards.” Logan’s knuckles whitened as he tightened his fist, glared at the officer with a look that said he wanted to put his fingers into the screaming man’s eye sockets. 「你們這些骯髒的混蛋。」羅根握緊了拳頭，指節都變白了。他惡狠狠地瞪著那名警官，那眼神彷彿在說：真想把手指伸進那個慘叫男人的眼窩裡。 The Korean officer seemed empowered by Logan’s anger. Still out of reach, he displayed his pistol and aimed it at Miko’s head. 那名韓國軍官似乎因為羅根的憤怒而變得更加囂張。他雖然還無法接近羅根，但卻掏出手槍，將槍口對準了美子的頭部。 “No.” Logan’s voice was a warning. Unemotional, stark. “You’ve got us. That’s enough.” 「不行。」羅根的聲音充滿了警告意味。冷漠而直接。「你已經抓住我們了。那就夠了。」 “Now she die!” the officer cried. 「我要她現在死！」那名官員喊道。 The shot cut through the night like a nuclear explosion. Miko’s body jerked once as the top of her head was blown off. The sound of the single shot, and its terrible consequence, caused even the hardened North Korean soldiers to wince and avert their eyes. 那一槍在夜空中劃過，猶如核爆炸一般。美子的頭部被炸飛，她的身體抽搐了一下。那一聲槍響及其可怕的後果，甚至讓那些冷酷無情的北韓士兵也不由得顫抖起來，轉開了視線。 Logan struck. 羅根出手了。 In a flash, the bayonet was out of its sheath and in his hand. Logan knocked the officer’s pistol aside and the weapon discharged again, striking one of the surrounding soldiers in the groin. 轉眼間，刺刀就從鞘中抽出，落在了羅根的手中。羅根將那名軍官的手槍打飛，手槍再次發射，子彈擊中了附近一名士兵的腹股溝部位。 Logan spun the blade and plunged it into the Korean’s chin, up through the skull and into the brain. The officer went limp, cross-eyed. Logan yanked the blade free and threw the dead man into his soldiers’ arms. 羅根旋轉著刀刃，將其刺入那名韓國人的下巴，再穿過頭骨刺入腦部。那名軍官立刻癱軟下來，雙眼也翻白了。羅根抽出刀來，把那具屍體扔給自己的士兵們。 A half-dozen rifles crackled, splitting branches and chipping bark off trees. They missed Logan, who was already behind them, slashing one throat after another before the bayonet tip snapped in two, lodged in a Korean’s thick skull. Weaponless now, Logan ran. 半打步槍發出噼啪聲，打斷了樹枝、剝落了樹皮。子彈都沒有打中羅根，他已經躲在敵人背後，不斷地砍向敵人的喉嚨。就在此時，羅根的刺刀斷成了兩截，刺入了某個韓國人的頭骨中。現在已經沒有武器了，羅根只能逃跑。 Fortunately for him, the Koreans had been using searchlights. To a man, they lacked night vision. Though Logan could see them clearly. Khaki uniforms standing out against the night. 對他來說幸運的是，韓軍當時使用了探照燈。不過，他們全都沒有夜視能力。而羅根卻能清楚地看到他們——那些穿著卡其色制服的韓軍士兵，在夜色中格外醒目。 Logan raced for the forest, bowling over a soldier and smashing his larynx with his boot. More shots whizzed around his head. Then a bullet caught Logan’s shoulder and spun him around. He stumbled up a small rise and plunged into the bush. 羅根朝森林方向衝去，撞倒了一名士兵，還用靴子踢碎了那名士兵的喉嚨。更多子彈從他頭頂飛過。接著，一顆子彈擊中了羅根的肩膀，使他轉了個圈。他跌跌撞撞地爬上一個小土坡，然後跌進了灌木叢中。 Bleeding, Logan crawled behind a tree. He heard voices all around him. It sounded like a hundred men were searching the area. Logan knew it was only a matter of time before they hit the jackpot. 身上在流血，羅根爬到一棵樹後面。他聽到周圍有各種聲音。看來好像有上百人在搜查這個地區。羅根知道，用不了多久，他們就會找到他了。 He thought of Langram helpless and Miko dead, and panic suffocated him. The bullet wound and the pumping adrenaline made his limbs quiver uncontrollably, especially his forearms, which were suddenly suffused with lancing agony. As he stumbled to his feet, the burning pain continued, more intense than the shoulder wound. 他想到蘭格拉姆無助的樣子，以及美子已經死去的消息，恐慌感讓他幾近窒息。子彈造成的傷口以及不斷分泌的腎上腺素，使他四肢無法控制地顫抖，尤其是前臂，那裡傳來劇烈的刺痛感。當他勉強站起來時，那種灼燒般的疼痛依然存在，甚至比肩膀上的傷口更難忍受。 Logan traced his left wrist in the darkness. Under tortured flesh and muscle, something stirred. 羅根在黑暗中摸索著自己的左腕。在那些受傷的肌肉之下，有什麼東西在微微動著。 The men who hunted him forgotten with the arrival of this strange new agony, Logan watched as the flesh on top of his wrists burst in a squirt of crimson. A moan escaped his lips as six claws made of pristine, ivory-colored bone emerged from sheaths hidden undetected under Logan’s flesh. Curved, honed, the claws extended one foot from their base to their razor-sharp tips. 那些追捕他的人，隨著這種奇怪的痛苦的到來而被遺忘了。羅根看著自己手腕上的皮肉迸裂，鮮血噴湧而出。當六隻由象牙色骨頭構成的爪子從羅根皮膚下隱藏的鞘中伸出時，他發出了痛苦的呻吟。這些爪子彎曲而鋒利，從基部到尖端長達一英尺。 出版日期：2004年1月 The Story of Weapon X.
