The sounds of heavy footsteps, shouts of orders, and the clash of weapons and equipment intertwined with the piercing alarms. The meeting room, which had been tense due to the dispute, was instantly shrouded in an even more severe pre-war atmosphere.

Mou Xuan stood in front of the command desk, his face as cold as ice.

The timing of the appearance of these unknown energy monsters was too strange. It happened to be the moment when their internal debates were most intense and their defenses were probably the most relaxed. This was by no means a coincidence!

An idea flashed through his mind like lightning - lure the tiger away from the mountain, or, attack from both inside and outside!

"Chief, the preliminary analysis results are out!" Xiao Shikong expert came running over with sweat all over his forehead, speaking in a hurried tone, "The energy fluctuations this time... are very strange, and are different from all the soul-devouring omen monsters we have recorded before. They... they seem to be precisely controlled by some higher-level will, and their target is clear, which is the weak point of our defense!"

"Precise control?" Mou Xuan frowned even tighter. This further confirmed his guess.

"Yes, and," Expert Xiao Shikong swallowed his saliva, "their energy level is at least 30% higher than last time on average! They are more violent, and more...disciplined!"

At the same time, the voice of Li's communications expert rang through the intercom, with a hint of unbelievable hoarseness: "Leader! Reports from all defense zones, the initial estimate of the number of monsters... is over five thousand! And it's still increasing! They... they seem to have emerged from underground!"

"Underground?" Mou Xuan's eyes flashed with coldness.

The base's defense system is most stringent against the air and ground, but underground... is relatively weak!

"Immediately activate the B2 area emergency plan and block all entrances to the underground passages!" Mou Xuan ordered decisively, "All heavy firepower units, give priority to covering areas where monsters are densely populated! Order each team to stop the monsters outside the core area at all costs!"

He turned to look at Chen Yao beside him, his eyes sharp: "Chen Yao, you lead the superpower team and focus on eliminating those elite monsters with special abilities! Be careful!"

Chen Yao nodded heavily, her heroic face full of determination: "Understood!" Without any hesitation, she turned around and called the team members, rushing to the battlefield in a swift and resolute manner.

Just as the base was fully prepared to deal with the external attack, Li's communications expert suddenly made another urgent call: "Chief, I intercepted a very strange encrypted communication just five minutes before the monster appeared! The source... seems to be inside the base, but the signal is being strongly interfered with. I am doing my best to crack it!"

Mou Xuan's pupils suddenly shrank: "Internal encrypted communication?!"

This discovery was like a bolt of lightning that split the fog in his heart!

Monsters attacking the city, internal communications, traitors...these clues quickly connected in his mind!

"Can you track the specific location?" Mou Xuan asked in a deep voice, with a barely perceptible hint of coldness in his voice.

"The other party is very cunning, using multiple springboards and camouflaged signals. At present... at present, we can only roughly lock it down between Building C and Building D of the living area. There... is the area where the traitor Yu and his assistant, the traitor assistant Xu, are temporarily placed!" Communications expert Li's voice was filled with shock and anger.

It’s indeed him!

Mou Xuan's anger rose in his heart, but his face remained calm.

He had long been suspicious of the traitor's overly "sincere" attitude. Now it seems that this traitor is indeed harboring evil intentions!

The so-called "method to suppress the Soul-Devouring Omen" was probably an elaborate trap from the very beginning!

And this time the monsters' attack on the city might very well be a signal that they are colluding with external forces!

"Continue to crack the communication content! Once there is any result, report to me immediately!" Mou Xuan ordered, "Also, allocate a part of the monitoring force to secretly monitor the every move of the traitor Yu and the traitor Xu's assistant. Don't alert them!"

"yes!"

The flames of war were blazing outside the base, the light of energy cannons tore through the night sky, and the roars of monsters and the roars of warriors intertwined.

Mou Xuan stood in the command center, but his eyes seemed to penetrate the wall and fell on the two suspected traitors.

Now is not the time to take action against them. He needs more direct evidence and needs to find out what bigger conspiracy is hidden behind them.

He glanced at the stalemate battle situation on the screen and took a deep breath.

External threats must be resolved, but internal parasites must be rooted out first!

Otherwise, the alliance will be in danger!

"Chen Yao," he contacted Chen Yao who was fighting fiercely through a private communicator, "the outer front can be stabilized for the time being, I have more important things that need your assistance."

From the other end of the communicator came Shen Yao's crisp and rapid response, mixed with the roar of the explosion of superpowers: "You say, Mou Xuan!"

"Communications expert Li intercepted suspicious communications from the traitor Yu. I suspect that this monster siege is related to him. I need you to leave the front line temporarily. We must investigate it ourselves." Mou Xuan's voice was low and firm.

Chen Yao hesitated for a moment, and immediately understood the seriousness of the matter: "Okay! I will get rid of these guys right away, where will we meet up?"

"The dark alley between Building C and Building D in the living area, ten minutes later."

"receive!"

Ten minutes later, Mou Xuan appeared in the agreed alley like a ghost.

He changed into an inconspicuous combat uniform and restrained his aura to the extreme.

A moment later, Chen Yao also arrived silently. She still smelled of gunpowder from the battle, but her eyes were clear and her movements were not hesitant at all.

"What's the situation?" Chen Yao asked in a low voice.

Mou Xuan briefly recounted the findings of Li's communications experts and said in a deep voice, "I suspect they will take advantage of the chaos at the base to make some secret contacts or even escape. We must find solid evidence to expose their conspiracy."
