"Where is it now? What does it look like? What specific attack capabilities does it have?"

In front of a tightly closed metal quarantine door, Wang Zhifan calmly asked the white old man in front of him, without immediately opening the door to go inside due to the other's urging.

"It's a kind of insect-like carbon-based lifeform, at least that's my judgment... It's currently in the α biological zone behind the door, trapped inside by me, probably hiding in some corner... As for its attack, it can bite people, and it's very fast, very fierce..."

The scientist, dressed in a white research uniform, gesticulated wildly as he narrated, his words slightly disordered, causing Wang Zhifan to frown as he listened.

"Is there no video footage or similar data?"

Feeling that the old man's words didn't provide much useful information, he continued to ask.

"No! That damned thing destroyed the surveillance in the biological area! You need to eliminate it quickly! Otherwise, the entire biological zone will be greatly affected!"

The white old man seemed annoyed by Wang Zhifan's series of questions and urged him again, visibly anxious.

"Let's go in and try... Although I'm still in the dark about the overall situation..."

In this situation, Wang Zhifan wasn't too thrilled, but he didn't want to leave the NPC here with a poor impression of his ability to get things done, so he bit his lip and ordered the soldiers he brought to open the quarantine door in front of him, stepping inside.

Behind the quarantine door was a separate chamber, with a noticeable air flow inside and a smell similar to disinfectant, likely for disinfecting and cleaning personnel entering the biological area. Only by opening another door further inside the chamber could one truly access the α biological zone.

When Wang Zhifan and several cloned soldiers entered this disinfectant chamber, he noticed the white old man outside immediately shut the metal door, as if deeply afraid something inside might rush out.

"What is the specific purpose of this α biological zone?"

Wang Zhifan ignored the old man's impatience outside and continued to walk forward, inquiring of the soldiers beside him to see if they knew any relevant information.

"Reporting, sir, the α biological zone is an area for storing and researching alien lifeforms, as well as a display area for certain ornamental plants and animals..."

The dark-skinned cloned soldier promptly replied, letting Wang Zhifan roughly understand the situation ahead.

"Specimens are also stored in such an area?"

Wang Zhifan felt a bit strange upon hearing this, because according to his understanding, the α biological zone should be for live creatures, but having dead specimens placed there seemed odd.

Without pondering further, Wang Zhifan then ordered the cloned soldiers to open the metal door leading from the disinfectant chamber to the biological zone, and they proceeded in succession through it.

Upon entering the biological zone, Wang Zhifan found that it looked no different from other areas of the spaceship, except that each room contained many tall iron racks, with each rack holding rows of entirely enclosed transparent glass tank-like structures, almost every tank containing oddly shaped plants or small animals, appearing very much like a large biological laboratory.

Meanwhile, he noticed an odd smell wafting in the air here, consisting of a faint odor of excrement and some blood.

"Everyone stay alert! Report immediately upon discovering any suspicious lifeform!"

Following the direction from which the bloody smell came, Wang Zhifan led several cloned soldiers forward carefully, instructing them to enter a heightened state of alert.

As they progressed, their eyes glanced over the transparent ecological tanks on the racks in each room on both sides, without finding any very suspicious creatures, as these variously looking small things were all quietly playing in their little glass worlds, appearing completely normal.

Before long, they arrived at a corner room within this area, which was significantly different from other rooms. For one, the racks here held tanks not containing live creatures, but rather motionless specimens, with some specimens even soaked in fluid that appeared to be formalin; on the other hand, the floors of the room were strewn with more than a dozen soldier corpses in disarray, the bloody smell emanating from the wounds on their bodies.

"The deceased mostly resemble the cloned soldiers I brought, only three male figures notably different, likely another security unit leader like me and research assistants... But their wounds don't look very serious, only about the size of a bottle cap... Maybe the creature is relatively small? Toxic?"

Wang Zhifan stepped into the room, examining the corpses on the ground carefully, trying to discern how the spaceship's security personnel died, discovering several odd aspects.

"These men obviously carried firearms, but how come it looks like an intense gun battle didn't occur before their death? Was the creature's attack ability exceedingly strong, leaving them unable to resist?"

While speculating in his mind, he scanned the corners of the room, but his senses told him all the specimens displayed here were normal, with no highly suspicious lifeform hiding among them.

"Spread out to search each room outside, and report any abnormalities to me."

Feeling somewhat at a loss, Wang Zhifan decided to deliberately lay a bait; as long as that dangerous creature couldn't resist the temptation and attacked any one of them, he could swiftly trace its position down.
