"Yes, sir!"

A few clone soldiers immediately left the room upon hearing the command. They followed the instructions, spreading out and beginning to patrol rooms displaying strange biological specimens in glass tanks, not concerned about the danger of being isolated.

"Such obedience... No wonder most of the soldiers on the spaceship are clones..."

Wang Zhifan couldn't help but admire inwardly. These specially bred clone soldiers might be stiff and unresponsive, but their absolute obedience to orders was something regular soldiers couldn't easily match.

He then observed the specimen room he was in for a while, hoping to find more clues. However, he didn't discover anything special, except the surveillance instruments on the ceiling seemed to have physical damage, likely from gunfire.

"Wasn't it said that the damage to the surveillance was caused by that creature? Why does it look like they shot it themselves? Accidental friendly fire?"

Wang Zhifan was also puzzled by this, but he didn't dwell on it. Finding no more discoveries, he left the room, intending to patrol around like the clone soldiers he had dispatched.

However, as he turned away from the corpse on the floor and approached the room's doorway, something eerie happened!

One of the male corpses holding a gun slightly raised its firearm, aimed at Wang Zhifan's back without opening his eyes, and pulled the trigger without hesitation!

Buzz~

The gun in the corpse's hand was the type of ray gun used by Wang Zhifan's clone subordinates, so the firing sound was very faint. Wang Zhifan fell to the ground after being shot without any chance to evade.

When Wang Zhifan fell at the room's doorway, the clone soldiers he had dispatched were still diligently investigating in different rooms, unaware of the sudden incident due to their rigid thinking.

In the silent air, near the unconscious Wang Zhifan, an even more bizarre thing occurred next.

From the wound of the corpse that had fired the gun, a strange creature resembling an elongated, multi-legged mantis shrimp emerged. The creature was small in size, but its hundred-plus legs allowed it to crawl rapidly towards the fallen Wang Zhifan, seemingly with a clear intent to make contact.

However, just as the elongated strange mantis shrimp was about half a meter away from Wang Zhifan, it suddenly froze without any warning, as motionless as a stone. In contrast, Wang Zhifan, who appeared unconscious on the ground, suddenly sprang up agilely.

"Well well... So you're the culprit... I must say you don't look like much, but your capabilities are impressive."

It turned out that Wang Zhifan was only feigning death after getting shot. He used the Biological Force Field to deflect the ray damage and was not harmed at all. He had pretended to fall to see how things would unfold. To his surprise, he had discovered a significant secret, unearthing the presence of a potential target. Now, he had suppressed this sinister little creature with his icy powers.

"Looking at your sharp mouth structure and the movement speed you just exhibited, your physical attack ability must be formidable. And you can enter human bodies and control corpses... Quite miraculous, having a neurological connection ability? I even suspect you possess a deeper level of threat..."

At this moment, having completely controlled the alien creature, Wang Zhifan stared at it, muttering to himself, seemingly communicating with this strange being. But clearly, such a creature couldn't speak, it could only be frozen on the floor by Wang Zhifan without any reaction.

"All troops, gather!"

Having identified the target, Wang Zhifan then called out to the other rooms, instructing the clone soldiers who were unaware of their leader's apparent demise to quickly return to his side.

"You, shoot it to death, then pick it up."

Wang Zhifan ordered a clone soldier to execute the sinister alien creature.

Buzz~

Along with the trigger pull of the ray gun by the black-clothed soldier, the faint sound Wang Zhifan had heard once before reappeared, and the elongated multi-legged mantis shrimp on the floor instantly lost its vitality, picked up by the soldier with a gloved left hand.

"Now leave the biological section!"

After resolving the target, Wang Zhifan seemed intent on evacuating with everyone, ordering the soldiers to walk ahead as they left the area, with him trailing behind them.

During this process, he slowed his pace, increasing the distance between himself and the soldiers ahead, then suddenly stopped and turned back to look at the specimen room he had just left.

In that room, several corpses that were initially lying on the ground were now holding their firearms, attempting to pull the trigger and attack them, but appeared frozen, unable to move. The scene looked quite eerie.

"Trying that trick again? Seems like I've overestimated you... But this time I'll give you a quick end."

The current situation undoubtedly indicated that almost every corpse had similar terrifying creatures, manipulating human corpses to attack. Wang Zhifan should excavate and completely deal with them from the corpses, but he opted for convenience, employing the power of ice to handle them uniformly.

In fact, after noticing the first insect individual, he had already sensed similar entities in other corpses through his powerful perception. Once he had a sample of its aura, it became effortless for him to identify others. The reason he hadn't dealt with them immediately was to verify certain characteristics. From the outcome, they seemed rather mediocre.

"Other rooms in this biological section also conceal a few identical monsters."

After clearing the targets in the specimen room, Wang Zhifan expanded his perception over a larger area, rapidly identifying the other hidden entities based on existing information, and proceeded to eliminate them remotely with the ice source power, achieving the utmost efficiency.

Only then did he truly lead the soldiers away from the area, smoothly returning to the decontamination chamber connecting the biological section to other spaceship areas.

This room, filled with the scent of disinfectant, didn't look much different from before. The only issue was that the clone soldiers, trying to open the door conventionally, repeatedly failed.

"Report, sir! The quarantine door is malfunctioning! Unable to open!"

The subordinate clone soldiers lacked the capacity to handle complex problems, so upon discovering the door wouldn't open, they hurriedly reported to him, unable to provide a more detailed solution.

"The door's locked? Heh... Seems the situation might be worse than I thought..."

Wang Zhifan didn't consider the current abnormality a mechanical failure. His intuition suggested he had misjudged earlier, and now it was hard to say how far things had progressed.

"Wait here, I'll handle something."

Without agonizing over how to open the sealed quarantine door, Wang Zhifan ordered the clone soldiers he led to stay put in the decontamination chamber, then turned and headed toward the living quarters, quickly disappearing from sight.

Seconds later, Wang Zhifan's figure mysteriously appeared outside the quarantined door, signifying he had transported himself out using his own methods, only to find the place deserted and the white-haired old man nowhere in sight.

"That guy is definitely up to something... I need to find him quickly!"

Realizing things were amiss, Wang Zhifan swiftly moved, because he couldn't help but suspect that the white-haired old man who had called him earlier was problematic. Otherwise, why had he trapped his squad in the biological section and led to the demise of the other two security teams?
