Chapter 439: Marvel: Awakening the Little Universe at the Start, Chapter 230

In the cultivation chamber, "Hawk," who looked to be about the same age as Hawk, was curled up like a baby, hugging his knees, as if in a quiet sleep.

The next second.

Hawk withdrew his gaze and looked to the side at Dr. Merrick, who was wearing a white lab coat and had been pulled here from the command room by him through the air.

Dr. Merrick, wearing a white lab coat, after being pulled here by Hawk just now, saw Hawk, who was standing sideways to him, and had also reacted. He lowered his head, like an ostrich, not daring to even breathe loudly.

Hawk raised his sword-like brows.

"Dr. Merrick?"

"Ye... Yes."

Dr. Merrick's voice trembled subconsciously, and then he seemed to think of something, and looked at Hawk: "Mr. Phoenix, this has nothing to do with me. I was forced. It was Hydra who forced me to do this. If I didn't act according to their instructions, they would torture me."

Hawk smiled slightly.

If it weren't for his sixth sense perception, which had already seen the scene in the command room just now where he looked exactly like a leader giving orders, he might have believed this ghost story from Dr. Merrick.

However...

He didn't come here to listen to these ghost stories from Dr. Merrick, so, whether Dr. Merrick was voluntary or forced, it had nothing to do with him.

Hawk thought in his heart, withdrew his gaze from Dr. Merrick, who was pushing all the responsibility onto Hydra, and looked at himself in the cultivation chamber again, feeling a bit curious: "So does this count as a successful cloning, or a failed cloning?"

To say it was a successful cloning, indeed, Hydra did clone him out.

But Hawk didn't detect any life energy on this clone of his in front of him.

To put it plainly.

This clone in the cloning chamber in front of him, rather than calling it Hawk's clone, it would be better to say it was just a corpse that looked exactly like Hawk and had been soaked.

He also didn't find any other cultivation chambers in this Hydra base, so he was a bit curious, did this count as success or failure.

After Hawk finished speaking, he looked at Dr. Merrick again.

Dr. Merrick met Hawk's gaze, his heart trembling.

A scientist's intuition told him that the answer to this question concerned whether he lived or died.

Therefore...

Dr. Merrick gulped, his throat moving, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said in a somewhat dry voice: "There are successful ones, and there are failed ones."

Hawk raised his sword-like brows.

"Where are the successful ones?"

"They were destroyed."

"Destroyed?"

"Yes."

Dr. Merrick swallowed again: "There were five successful ones, but after opening their eyes, their consciousness was chaotic, and they collapsed quickly. I had no choice but to destroy them."

Hearing this, Hawk nodded thoughtfully, and then looked at himself sleeping in the cultivation chamber again? "Then what about these?"

Since he had already opened his mouth to fight for a chance to survive, naturally there was nothing that couldn't be said.

Dr. Merrick didn't hide it: "These five were originally planned to have their consciousness imported today, but before there was time to import it, this place was discovered by you."

Speaking of this place being discovered, it was also quite a coincidence.

As everyone knows.

This base was built in the desert.

The desert is dry, lacking everything, and there were more than two hundred Hydra agents in the base. If it were during Hydra's latent period in the past, living supplies would be very easy to solve.

But with Hydra's exposure, and with Maria Hill's rapid completion of the integration of S. H. I. E. L. D., the intensity of the crackdown on Hydra remnants had also become increasingly powerful.

Hydra remnants were also becoming increasingly panicked, fearing that one day S. H. I. E. L. D. would air-drop special forces and capture them directly.

So some Hydra members were restless, including those Hydra members living in the small town of Alice Springs who opened factories to provide living supplies for this base.

Among them, there was a Hydra member who had joined for less than three years, feeling that his great youth couldn't be buried with Hydra, so he planned to turn over a new leaf, contacted S. H. I. E. L. D. on a very hidden forum on the internet, hoping to become a tainted witness.

If Dr. Zola were still around, with Dr. Zola's control over the internet, he would have been exposed the moment he did this, and then faced the fate of being destroyed.

But now Dr. Zola had disappeared, naturally, Hydra's advantage in internet control had also disappeared.

Natasha led the team and quickly took down this Hydra base in Alice Springs.

But not many Hydra members in Alice Springs knew about the existence of the cloning base, and even those who knew were old snakes loyal to Hydra, who had already been killed during the resistance process.

So if there were no accidents, the cloning base wouldn't have been exposed.

As a result, the time point when Natasha took down this Hydra base in Alice Springs happened to be stuck at the node of secretly transporting living supplies to the cloning base every month.

Natasha saw that warehouse of living supplies, which obviously exceeded the living needs of this factory, so she immediately thought that there might be a secret cloning base nearby, so she immediately ordered people to quickly clean up the traces of the battle, and found the Hydra member who had turned over a new leaf, indicating that she would accompany them to stage a play to atone for their crimes.

And the cloning base, seeing that the time for transporting supplies had passed and the supplies hadn't been delivered, couldn't sit still either, so they sent a Hydra agent, intending to enter the small town to see what was going on.

As a result, that person happened to know the Hydra member who had turned over a new leaf, and so, caught off guard, he was captured alive by Natasha.

Then...

There was no then.

The cloning base was exposed so magnificently.

Hawk naturally also heard the regret in Dr. Merrick's voice when he said there hadn't been time to import consciousness.

However...

Hawk looked at himself in the five cloning cultivation chambers, looked at Dr. Merrick, who seemed to regret that his results hadn't succeeded, and his mouth curled up slightly.

"I'll give you a chance to live."

"Activate them!"
