Chapter 434: The 100-day limited-time roleplay ends (First update!)
Clones.
Cloned Cloth.
Hawk thought about what Hydra might be doing, smiled indifferently, and then with a thought, retracted the Little Universe he had projected.
But...
Whether it was Sharon or Tony, their gazes were still fixed straight at Hawk's back at this moment.
They seemed to still be immersed in the Little Universe he had just displayed.
As for Gwen...
It wasn't Gwen's first time seeing it.
However...
Gwen recalled the Little Universe Hawk had just projected and whispered, "Why do I feel like it's gotten bigger?"
The last time Hawk displayed his Little Universe was on the snowy mountain of Kamar-Taj.
But a long time had passed since that trip to Kamar-Taj.
Hawk nodded and looked at Gwen: "It hasn't reached the limit yet."
Although he first utilized the Reality Stone, the four elements of creation, and even Ancient One's Time Stone, and later even obtained Tiamut's life energy to assist his cultivation.
But his current Little Universe still hadn't reached the limit that a Sixth Sense Silver Little Universe could possibly reach.
However, the gap wasn't far off anymore.
Gwen didn't quite understand what Hawk meant by "hasn't reached the limit," but looking at the relaxed expression on Hawk's face without a hint of anger, she made a final confirmation: "So, even if Hydra really clones you, it's impossible for them to defeat you?"
Hawk laughed.
"Of course."
"Swear it. Swear it in Anya's name."
"Fine."
Hawk looked at the serious-faced Gwen, knowing what she was worried about, and swore the oath cleanly and decisively: "Is that good enough now?"
A smile appeared on Gwen's face.
She believed that Hawk might deliberately hide something to avoid her worrying, but she also believed that Hawk would never swear randomly using his sister Anya's name.
Therefore...
Hydra attempting to use a cloned Hawk, plus a cloned Cloth, to defeat or kill Hawk was truly dreaming.
Having obtained Hawk's oath in his sister Anya's name, Gwen was completely relieved.
But relief aside, this didn't change one fact.
Hydra was attempting to clone Hawk.
Thinking of this, Gwen's disgust for Hydra deepened, and she looked at Sharon: "Then can you find Dr. Merrick?"
Hearing this, Sharon first glanced at Gwen, then her consciousness, which had been immersed in Hawk's brilliant Little Universe, gradually returned: "We are still investigating, but we can be certain that the Hydra underground base existing in Rhyolite Ghost Town is not Hydra's cloning base."
The underground base in Rhyolite Ghost Town, although also a cloning base, was a cloning base for Hawk's Cloth.
Perhaps because Cloth cloning was also part of the plan to clone Hawk, that was why the keyword for Hawk's cloning existed in that base's computer system.
And it was precisely because of this that S. H. I. E. L. D. was able to know about the cloning plan Hydra was secretly tinkering with.
Unfortunately, they currently had no clue where Hydra had placed the location for cloning Hawk.
They had notified Hawk immediately after seeing the keyword.
After all, they were also worried that if Hydra really cloned a Hawk with combat power not much different from Hawk's, but one that belonged entirely to the evil faction.
Right now...
Hawk's answer made them feel a bit more at ease.
But only a little bit.
After Sharon finished speaking, she looked at Gwen and Hawk and said: "Commander Hand, after receiving the news, has ordered all S. H. I. E. L. D. forces to concentrate together, and must find Dr. Merrick in the fastest time possible."
Hawk wasn't afraid of "what ifs" because he was certain that Hydra absolutely had no possibility of cloning his Little Universe along with him.
But S. H. I. E. L. D. was afraid of "what ifs."
Therefore—
To avoid the appearance of an evil-faction Hawk clone, not only S. H. I. E. L. D., but even the Security Council, after learning about this matter, was nervous to death and immediately ordered S. H. I. E. L. D. to find Dr. Merrick as soon as possible.
In a word.
Hawk wasn't afraid.
But S. H. I. E. L. D. was.
Hearing Sharon say that S. H. I. E. L. D. had already cast a wide net to find Dr. Merrick, Gwen nodded: "Find him quickly, this plan is too evil."
Hawk also said to Sharon: "Call me after you find him."
Sharon nodded: "Rest assured, I guarantee I will notify you the first moment."
Even if Hawk didn't say it now, if they really found Dr. Merrick at that time, they would still notify Hawk the first moment.
After all, it concerned Hawk, and open and transparent communication was able to effectively prevent any friction between S. H. I. E. L. D. and Hawk caused by misunderstandings.
Unfortunately—
Until the end of the first semester of Hawk and Gwen's sophomore year, S. H. I. E. L. D. still hadn't found that Hydra cloning base hidden in the dark, suspected of conducting cloning experiments on Hawk.
Although during this period, S. H. I. E. L. D., having obtained the Security Council's "act first, report later, special permission for good people" authorization, had been attacking all over the world, uprooting several Hydra bases hidden in the nooks and crannies of some third-world countries.
But after Jarvis collected and analyzed the computer data from these bases, let alone Dr. Merrick, there wasn't even a shadow of the word "cloning."
And those captured Hydra agents, even after S. H. I. E. L. D. used all sorts of methods, when asked about experiments related to cloning, their originally fearful eyes would still turn into the eyes of college students.
Clear and stupid.
These captured Hydra agents knew nothing about so-called cloning.
But even if they couldn't find it, they had to keep looking, and as time passed, S. H. I. E. L. D. seemed to be gradually getting fired up.
After all, knowing that there was a hidden Hydra cloning base out there meant that there were still remnants of Hydra in this world.
Since there were still Hydra remnants, it meant their cleanup work for Hydra wasn't finished yet.
Therefore...
Find it!
Keep looking.
Even if they had to dig three feet into the ground, they had to dig out Hydra's cloning base.
However, compared to the fired-up S. H. I. E. L. D., Hawk appeared completely indifferent, not taking the matter of Hydra cloning him to heart at all.
A fake is a fake.
A sparrow can never fly onto a branch and turn into a phoenix. ===== CHAPTER 436 =====
