《Clone Warrior》Six Heads Better Than One
Advertisement
Alex did not do anything out of the norm the whole day. He stayed at home, took care of his and his mother's needs. While it was not glamorous or exciting, it had to be done.
After the ingestion of skill experience over several days of training, Alex felt amazing. His strength and endurance were just off the charts judging by how he cleaned the whole house in half the time, his sword thrusts and blocks were more natural.
This training speed could easily get him to level one hundred in those two skills in a week or two. He just had to fix his problems first.
It wasn't until after Eve had set that the clones he had sent to scout came back. They looked unharmed and unbothered. Alex motioned them to sit on the chairs around his new table.
"Let's get down to business. First, I need information on the clinic building." Alex said while crossing his hands together. How he wished at this moment he had a map of the city.
"The building is three stories high and has tons of windows. I could basically spy on the whole interior. Anyway, I don't think there is a basement." The clones then contemplated for a bit. "And if my measurements are right, there shouldn't be any large medicine vault on the first floor. It's probably on the second or third floor, though I'm betting on the third floor."
"And how many employees?" Alex questioned, noting down the details on a paper.
"I've seen four doctors on duty so far and two clerks. All of their offices are on the first floor and they do their medical examinations on the second or third floor." The clone continued. "They come to work at Genesis's late stride and leave work at Eve's mid stride at roughly the same time."

Alex nodded. This was good, the more regular their schedules are the better chances of this going to plan.
"Alright, good job. You guys found out where the doctors live?" Alex switched to the other four clones. He was lucky that the numbers of doctors didn't exceed the amount of clones he could put out.
"I think they all live reasonably close by to the clinic?" A clone raised a question and looked at the other three, they also nodded. "Well, the house the doctor I was following was ordinary. Could easily get in through the windows and steal everything from it."
Alex nodded and was going to speak before being interrupted by a clone.
"Yeah they are easy to get into, but the guards are doing lots of patrols there. I would bet they could get there quickly." The clone added.
"That would be a good thing actually, the guards that would be patrolling around the clinic would head towards the houses when we rob them." The clone. "It will serve as a distraction."
"What would serve as a better distraction is if we lit up the whole house on fire. The whole neighbourhood would be at risk of burning even though most of them are made of stone." The clone smiled viciously.
Alex furrowed his brows, that was a good distraction but a terrible idea. While stealing as a necessity was not wrong to an extent, willfully burning someone just to cause a distraction was not great.
It would also paint a greater target on his back. A thief was expected and an arsonist was to be hunted.
"No, we will not burn down anything. It will risk other people's lives needlessly." Alex ordered. "Alright, the attack plan is clear for me."

He stopped for a moment to gather his thoughts and continued.
"Just before the doctors come out of the clinic, you guys break into their homes, grab as much coins as you can, and then run and hide them at an agreed upon drop site." Alex twirled the quill in his hands. "After depositing the loot, you will head towards the clinic and wait with the fifth clone for the doctors to go back to their homes. Once that happens, the fifth clone will sneak in to the second or third floor, drop the medicines needed through a window to a clone on the ground, and repeat."
"Once all clones are gone to deposit the medicines, the fifth clone will steal the coins available and leave the building. Is that clear?" Alex said.
"Why are you telling us this? Aren't you going to cancel us?" A clone said confusedly.
"No, you guys know the houses and locations better than I do. You will stay existing." Alex said. "Now please make as many holes in this plan as you can, six heads are better than one."
The clones and Alex went into deep thought over the plan. It was several moments later that a clone started to talk.
"What if we get unlucky and get captured? If we get unmasked, it's all over. And if you wanted to cancel us, how would you know we are going to be captured?" The clone said.
"How about a poison we can ingest if we face capture? If it's quick, it can do the job of cancelling us." Another clone murmured and the others recoiled.
"It's…a solution, and I think the only solution. I will try to buy the quickest painless poison from the balck market." Alex put his hands into his face, dreading the journey of buying poisons. He chuckled, his life is crazy.
"And you Alex, what will you do for an alibi?" The clones asked.
"I'm thinking of going to the training yards, especially the one with the archer woman. The clone who trained with her said she paid him special attention." Alex bit his lip and continued. "She can verify my existence, along with the other trainees there.*
The clones nodded and relaxed.
"Alright guys, rest for the night and prepare for tomorrow. Stay inside my father's room so people can't see you and don't exit the house while I'm out buying the necessary supplies." Alex said and sat up to prepare them the blankets he had in spare to sleep on.
