The gate of the base slowly opened, and Mou Xuan led the tired team into the alliance base. They thought they would be greeted with warm cheers and a long-awaited rest, but they did not expect a solemn atmosphere to envelope the entire base, with uneasiness and suspicion in the air.
A low hum replaced the usual noise, and anxiety was written on everyone's face.
"What's going on?" Mou Xuan keenly noticed something was wrong and grabbed the oncoming logistics staff. "Why do you all look so nervous?"
The logistics officer looked pale and stammered, "Team Xuan...Team Xuan, something happened! We...we suspect that...clones have infiltrated the base!"
"Clones?!" Mu Xuan's heart was shocked. This thought flashed through his mind like a flash of lightning, instantly illuminating the cloud of doubt shrouding the base.
Could this be the reason why their mission was so successful this time?
The enemy never thought of a head-on confrontation, but instead adopted a more covert and sinister infiltration tactic?
"What exactly happened? Tell me in detail!" Mou Xuan asked sternly, with unquestionable majesty in his tone.
The logistics staff quickly explained that some members had discovered that some of their companions in the base had become behaving strangely, their eyes were empty, their reactions were slow, and even some of their daily habits had changed.
What’s even more frightening is that these people seem to be particularly concerned about certain confidential information and often hang around in places where they shouldn’t be.
Mou Xuan immediately realized the seriousness of the situation. The clones infiltrating the base undoubtedly planted a time bomb within the alliance.
He immediately summoned Korean identification experts to check all suspicious persons.
However, these clones were so cleverly disguised that even experienced Korean experts found it difficult to tell the real from the fake.
At the same time, Wei's cloning technology researchers also began intensive research, trying to find ways to identify the clones based on their biological characteristics, behavioral patterns, etc.
As time passed, the atmosphere in the base became more and more tense. Everyone began to doubt the people around them, and the cornerstone of trust began to collapse.
Just then, something unexpected happened.
Luo, a senior member of the alliance, was suspected of being a clone because of some subtle actions.
This accusation was like a fuse, instantly igniting the long-suppressed panic in the base.
"Impossible! Luo has been our comrade-in-arms for many years, how could he be a clone!" Some people defended Luo, but more people were skeptical. After all, no one can guarantee whether the people around them have been replaced.
Qu, the mediator of the alliance, tried to mediate this crisis of trust, but his words seemed pale and powerless at this moment.
In the past, he had always been able to resolve conflicts within the alliance with his fairness and prestige, but this time, facing an invisible and intangible enemy, his efforts seemed in vain.
"Stop arguing!" Mou Xuan's roar resounded throughout the base. "Now is not the time to be suspicious of each other. We need to unite and work together to find the enemy hiding among us!"
However, his words did not have much effect, and the seeds of doubt had been deeply buried in everyone's hearts.
There was a suffocating feeling of oppression in the base, like the calm before the storm.
Mou Xuan paced back and forth anxiously in the base. He looked out the window. Night had fallen. Darkness enveloped the entire base and everyone's heart.
Suddenly, he remembered that Researcher Wei once mentioned that clones might show some abnormal physiological reactions under certain specific circumstances.
He immediately found Researcher Wei, asked for detailed information, and began to prepare for a special test.
As the night grew deeper, the lights in the base gradually went out, and most people returned to their rooms, but they did not fall asleep. Instead, they kept their eyes open, listening vigilantly to the movements around them.
Fear and suspicion spread through the base like a virus, and everyone felt like they were in a nightmare.
On the distant watchtower, a Zou defense soldier was performing his patrol mission meticulously. He gripped his weapon tightly and scanned everything around him vigilantly.
Suddenly, he felt something strange, and an inexplicable chill rose from the bottom of his heart...
The laser guns of Zou's defense soldiers streaked out dazzling blue lights in the night. The air was filled with a burnt smell and an indescribable tension.
The attack just now came too sudden and too strange.
Those "clones" looked like they had just crawled out of the ground, with hideous faces and ruthless attacks.
What's even more terrifying is that they look exactly like the real defense soldiers, and even their equipment is exactly the same.
This makes the defense work unprecedentedly difficult, because you can't tell whether the comrade next to you is a real comrade or a cold-blooded copy who will stab your chest at any time.
Mou Xuan's heart was beating violently, and he felt a chill running from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
He wiped the cold sweat from his face, tightly gripped the energy sword in his hand, and scanned everything around him like an eagle.
In the melee just now, he had already lost two capable men, and the murderer was most likely hiding around him, pretending to be innocent, waiting for the next fatal blow.
"Damn it! What the hell is going on?!" Mu Xuan growled through gritted teeth, his voice filled with anger and powerlessness.
It's not like he had never seen clones before, but he had never encountered one this realistic to the point of being so real.
Although previous clones looked similar to real people, they were different in some details, such as eyes, movements, and even breathing frequency.
