They couldn''t get Dn out just yet. If he vanished from the ss tank now, the base would realize there was peopleing in


    from outside, and a thorough sweep would follow. That would spell disaster forn and the others still inside; they''d all be


    exposed and never stand a chance to escape.


    lan''s immediate task was to return to the vent, retrieve the dozen or so canisters ofpressed gas he''d tossed out, and put


    them back in ce. Through that way he could clear himself of any suspicion.


    "Walter, head back to your post."


    Walter''s mouth twitched, "And what about him?" He was pointing at Dn.


    lan massaged his temples, "He''s still breathing, not dead yet. If we pull him out now, we''re as good as dead."


    They were all clever, and wouldn''t be unable to see clearly the gravity of the situation. Walter quickly made his exit, andn


    returned to the core researchb.


    Theb was untouched, but Sarah, who should''ve been conducting experiments there, was nowhere to be found.


    lan didn''t dwell on her absence. He hurried back to his room, crawled through the air ducts, retrieved all the canisters, and


    managed to sneak them back into theb without anyone noticing.


    Sarah, on the other hand, had already left herb in the middle of themotion outside, standing amidst the chaos.


    She caught sight of Philip making his way through the turmoil. He grabbed a woman in the fray.


    Sarah''s pupils contracted sharply as she recognized the woman''s face. Pushing past the frantic researchers blocking her path,


    she strode toward Philip''s location.


    She and Philip had barely met formally before, hardly knowing each other. Yet she harbored a deep-seated aversion to him from


    the moment she saw his face for the first time.


    The woman Philip was holding was 00.


    lan had smuggled her into the base earlier, and now she was here with her wrist in his grip. Her protective suit had been torn to


    shreds by the crazed researchers, and her face bore fresh scratches.


    Philip''s expression darkened, followed by a chuckle.


    "Maja?" Before he could finish his thought, he denied it, "No, it can''t be Maja, but the likeness is uncanny."


    He pulled her close, imprisoning her in his embrace.


    “Not just the face, but even the mannerisms, so simr. What a surprise. Isn here too?"


    Philip was sharp; he didn''t believe in such coincidences. This resemnce had to be intentional. But who would craft a double of


    Maja?


    00 tried to break free, her expression cold.


    "Who are you?"


    She knew of Philip by file, but had never met the man in person. Philip raised an eyebrow, and found it more intriguing.


    Just as he was about to speak, a bullet whizzed past his ear toward 00. The shot hit her shoulder. She looked toward the source


    and saw Phil with a gun in hand.


    Phil''s clothes were disheveled, clearly having rushed to the scene. He made to pull the trigger again but saw Philip shielding 00,


    “What are you doing? Who ordered you to fire?"


    "Philip, | saw her."

    Philip, with a gentle smirk in his eyes, grasped her wrist.


    "She won''t kill me. Seen Summer around? Phil, take her to Summer. Tell him."


    Phil approached cautiously, still wary.
