Chapter 353: Adamantium (Four updates!)

One question, one answer.

Hawk froze.

Felicia also froze.

"A year?"

"A month?"

"..."

Hawk and Felicia locked eyes, both seeing the shock in each other's gaze.

The next second.

Hawk realized why he had passed through the storm system at night, yet it was still daytime inside.

The time flow here really was different from the outside.

It's just...

"One month outside equals one year here."

"Then one day here must be equal to..."

Hawk's mind raced.

Felicia, however, had already provided the answer.

"One day outside is approximately twelve days here."

"Hiss!"

Hawk looked at Felicia, who had already calculated the answer, and drew a sharp breath, then swept his gaze over the layout of the wooden house once more.

At first, he felt the house was clean and cozy, but he also felt something was slightly off.

But he couldn't put his finger on it at first.

Now, he knew what was wrong.

This wooden house, whether in its arrangement, furnishings, or even its decorations, was completely out of place with the tattooed natives outside.

"So, did you and Peter make these chairs and tables too?"

"Mostly Peter."

Seeing Hawk change the subject, Felicia didn't dwell on the time flow either. She followed Hawk's gaze and said with a smile, "Peter is very handy."

When speaking of Peter, Felicia's face revealed that unique expression a woman in love has for her boyfriend.

Auras don't lie.

Hawk had initially thought Peter was here, but he only saw Felicia and not Peter.

This wasn't a failure of his perception.

It was that the lingering aura of Peter on Felicia had reached a point where it was indistinguishable from the real thing.

There was only one possibility for this situation.

Union!

So...

When Hawk heard Felicia praising Peter's handiwork, a strange look flashed in his eyes, but he quickly hid it.

"By the way, you guys came here to find Peter's parents, right? Did you find them?"

"We found them."

"Then..."

"You just said that one day here equals twelve days outside. That explains why the Iwi people said Peter's parents passed away over a hundred years ago. At first, we thought it was a language barrier, but who would have thought... what they said about over a hundred years ago was true."

One year on Skull Island equals one month outside.

Peter's parents went missing over a decade ago; converted to Skull Island time, wasn't that over a hundred years ago?

Just then.

Felicia seemed to think of something and looked at Hawk: "That's not right. You said only a month has passed outside, so that should be the supply troops I arranged before coming in. How did you get here?"

Hawk regained his focus and looked at Felicia.

"I mean you guys have been in here for over a month."

"Outside..."

"Everyone in your experimental base is dead, except for one survivor, named Au-something."

"Os?"

"Right."

Hawk nodded and briefly recounted the sudden rainy night attack on the experimental base outside, then frowned: "In your Pacific experimental base, do you know of anyone else who might hold a grudge against you?"

Felicia was silent for a moment, then shook her head.

"My takeover of Osborn Biological was very smooth, and those old shareholders didn't reject me like they rejected Harry. At the very least, our current cooperation is pleasant; there shouldn't be anyone who would wish me harm."

"Forget it, we'll talk about this later."

Seeing he couldn't get any answers, Hawk didn't mind; as long as Peter and Felicia were safe, that was enough.

Once again.

He wasn't a saint; as long as he and his friends were happy, that was fine.

As for others?

Not important.

Just like he knew Felicia hadn't come alone with Peter, there should have been a combat team.

But Hawk didn't even ask.

Because he didn't care, he didn't want to ask.

"By the way, how long has Peter been out, and when will he be back?"

"He went out early this morning. The village hunting team goes out every morning, and they usually return before sunset."

When Felicia spoke of Peter, her face again took on that look of being in love, and she said with a smile: "Peter is very capable. After we arrived here, the Iwi people accepted us. I learned some simple Iwi language, it was Peter, Peter is amazing. The outside is too dangerous, Hawk, have you seen..."

Speaking of this, Felicia locked eyes with Hawk again, and her voice trailed off.

The next second.

Felicia withdrew her gaze: "You aren't afraid, you're fine. Do you know what the Iwi people said when they knelt to you just now?"

Hawk thought of the scene where the natives knelt to him.

"God?"

"No."

"No? Then what?"

"They thought you were their ancestor."

"What the hell?"

Hawk raised an eyebrow.

He didn't even have any descendants yet, so how did he suddenly become someone else's ancestor?

And...

He had originally thought Peter's romance would be full of twists and turns, but no matter what, he would definitely have children before Peter.

As a result...

Damn time difference!

While Hawk was shocked, he caught a glimpse of Felicia's stomach.

There...

A little spider was growing healthily.

Felicia looked at Hawk, thinking he was shocked by the Iwi people's worship of him, so she explained: "In Iwi legend, they are the descendants of the Heavenly Gods. That male Heavenly God could also fly through the air and had immense strength. You are just like their legendary ancestor, flying through the air and possessing great strength."

Hawk chuckled.

"I don't have that many descendants."

"I know, I'm just saying. If they were the descendants of Heavenly Gods, they wouldn't be on this dangerous island."

Felicia said this, then looked at Hawk: "By the way, are you thirsty? There's a special fruit here, a bit like a coconut from outside, but it tastes better than coconut. Peter brought a few back a few days ago, I'll get you one."

Hawk replied.

"Sure."

"Just a moment."

Felicia smiled slightly, turned, and went into the inner room, then quickly walked back holding a blue fruit similar to a coconut.

After Hawk took the fruit, Felicia grabbed a piece of metal in her hand: "This thing is hard as rock, you can only use this..."

Before she could finish her sentence.

She discovered the metal had disappeared from her hand.
