A is in StarCraft, just disembarked from the Zerg Prince spaceship.

***********

……

Bishen pulled up the real-time star map of that star region, traced the energy trajectory on the map with his finger, and mentally calculated the energy consumption: "What was the total amount of energy he stored during this trip?"

"Three times the regular supply amount."

Three times the original price? Nobody would believe it if I told them there was no trickery involved.

The holographic projection suddenly fluctuated, and the encrypted data stream transmitted by the undercover agent scrolled and flickered on the tactical board.

"What's wrong?"

"Another cryo-scan... It's alright now." After a few seconds, the data stream stabilized again, and the undercover agent breathed a sigh of relief.

Continuing the report:

"Aurion is suspected of secretly carrying armed machinery. He seems to be planning to take action against the Bee Family's territory, a double-cross."

Bishen chuckled.

What kind of contract-abiding entity is Orion? They think signing a contract will solve everything? This crazy move by the Beauty Bee family is no less than asking a tiger for its skin.

"Has the Bee family contacted him?"

"Contact has been established. Three cruisers from the Beauty Bee family are waiting 0.3 light-years outside the stargate, ready to receive the cargo."

Bishen's fluorescent green pupils contracted slightly, he transformed into a beast, his eyes switched to enhanced vision mode, and he looked out at the starry sky through the porthole.

Three red spots suddenly lit up on the star map, right outside the void region of the Hive Gate.

"Where is Orion now?"

"The Orion is currently about 20 light-years away from the Hive Gate in the Cygnus sector. With full jump control, it should take about 20 minutes to reach the waiting area of ​​the Bee Family cruiser."

"Can we pinpoint his exact coordinates?"

"Yes, but there are risks," the undercover agent said. "Continuously sending interstellar positioning waves would create too much fluctuation, making it easy for starships to detect us. If Orion discovers there's an undercover agent, he might immediately stop the transaction and flee to investigate."

Although it's possible that he won't be able to be tracked down, if Orion escapes, it will be very troublesome to catch him later.

Bishen activated the neural connector, allowing the data stream to be directly injected into the cerebral cortex.

A three-dimensional model of the star sector unfolded in his mind.

"Then you'll have to keep reporting our location," Bishen said softly. "Preferably to the light-second. This is a life-or-death situation. When you come back, I'll promote you."

"Synchronized to Tactical Port Seven." The undercover agent's voice blended into the engine roar. "He's coming. Orion has activated the Stardust Camouflage Layer, effective time remaining 59 minutes."

The Stardeck Camouflage Layer is a stardeck phase radar specifically developed by the Black Forces to counter the Zerg.

The coating uses a thick layer of precious cosmic mineral shell, which can confuse the Zerg Empire's star phase radar. It is effective for one hour, and every second it is activated burns through a huge amount of money.

"Are you sure the male insect is in the Orion's cargo hold?"

"Confirmed. I saw Orion personally go to the bottom chamber and communicate with the bee family in front of the male bees."

Bishen retrieved the structural diagram of the Orion starship constructed by his adjutant and marked the highlighted area at the bottom of the reactor chamber.

The reactor's power lines happen to pass through this area. When firing, you must avoid this area, otherwise the reactor will explode, the male insect will explode, and he will also be blown up by his ancestors.

"Are the cargo's vital signs still stable?" Bishon turned off the Orion's starship projection.

"It has been placed in a hibernation pod during the jump. It remains in a coma, with brainwave activity exceeding the threshold." The undercover agent's voice was now distant, seemingly reviewing surveillance footage and reading data. "The hibernation pod's power consumption is abnormal, exceeding the standard value by 137%. This male insect's brain region appears to be overactive."

"As long as it's not below the threshold, there's no problem. Maybe it's because he's smarter." Bishon glanced at him.

It's quite rare to find such a clever male insect.

"Has the Orion begun its jump?" Bishen pulled over the holographic floating screen, which transformed into a star map. Bishen looked at the three red dots belonging to the Bee family's cruiser and asked.

"Orion is waiting for the Hive Clan's connection code... and it's here." The countdown for the undercover transmission suddenly appeared on the star map. "Warp initiated. Final warp scheduled for 27 minutes later, arriving at the Hive Gate."

Bishen activated the strategic simulation program, and the star map was instantly covered by thousands of flight paths. He removed the official flight paths used by both the military and civilians, leaving only a few dozen privately owned by various families.

As you can tell from the name Hive Gate, most of the dozens of routes within Hive Gate belong to the Bee family.

So which route will Orion choose to come over?

Bishen looked at the coordinates of the wormholes in the dozens of intertwined and converging flight paths.

These distorted spatial nodes are like shortcuts to the gods when in our hands, but like the pupils of a viper when in the hands of the enemy.

Since the flight path is uncertain, we can only wait until Orion goes to meet the Bee Cruiser and then wipe them all out.

"I have the authority to intercept space pirates across star systems." Bishen disguised the encrypted command as the shockwave from a meteorite collision and sent it to the various hidden fleets. "Those brainless idiots, the Beauty Bee family, I will wipe them all out."

The adjutant chuckled over the command channel.

"But could the Bee family be playing us? Like these three cruisers are just decoys, used as targets?" Bishon marked the firing point on the Bee cruisers on the star map. "Their actual rendezvous point isn't here?"

"No. If the bee family had that kind of brain, they wouldn't be buying male bees from Orion," the adjutant said.

"Accurate and to the point."

Then Bishen muted all the microphones on the command channel, and the entire fleet activated optical cloaking. They began to wait silently for the pirate group to arrive.

During this time, the undercover agent consistently sent out coordinates, gradually approaching the target without any mishaps.

Twenty minutes later, the data stream transmitted by the undercover agent suddenly accelerated, and the star map coordinates on the tactical board also began to update synchronously.

Bishon noticed that the Bee Family cruisers were changing their warship form in preparation for docking, and the wavelength of the main ship's monitoring ring indicated that they had activated the genetic recognition locking system.

"They're here," the undercover agent said.

At the wormhole jump point closest to the Hive Gate, a massive, cratered, dark silver starship slowly emerged from it.

On the side of the starship, shimmering silver light, was a star map of Orion connected by iron chains.

The stars on the star map on the ship's hull were inlaid with star core ore, and at first glance they looked like real stars. The chains didn't seem to form the star map; they looked more like they were binding all the stars together.

Orion of Orion.

"Aurion has set up dual biometric verification... It's successful." The undercover agent's voice showed a slight fluctuation for the first time. "The Bee Clan representatives will board the ship in one minute to inspect the cargo. If the inspection is successful, the Bee Clan cruiser will escort them into the Bee Clan Hive Stargate."

Inside the Hive Star Gate lies the ancestral home of the Beauty Bee family, whose long-standing wealth and resources are enough to rival even a legion.

Once Orion enters the Hive Gate, it will be much harder to capture him.

"Understood," Bishen signaled. "Move."

The entire Mantis Family Blade Fleet ignited instantly.

"Do everything you can to ensure the male's safety." Before the communication was cut off, Bishon gave the undercover agent his last order. "We will be on the battlefield in two minutes."

The holographic projection suddenly narrowed into a point of light, as the undercover agent transmitted the last piece of surveillance footage before the connection was lost.

The black-haired male insect lay quietly asleep in its hibernation chamber. On the transparent lid of the chamber, a wisp of mist was condensing—the breath exhaled unconsciously by the comatose male insect.

His skin was flushed and his body temperature was too high; he seemed to have a fever.

It needs to be dealt with as soon as possible.

Three red spots on the star map began to move toward the wormhole, and Bishen activated the combat mode of the tactical eyepiece neural connector.

As the quantum cannon of the Blade destroyer completed its charge, he opened the fleet's command channel: "Hello everyone, can you hear me?"

"Okay." The fleet captains responded in a flurry of laughter over the channel.

The Zerg are never afraid of battle, and the Mantis are the Zerg's number one war leader.

"Charge all main guns," Bishen said. "Wait until the Bee Cruiser and the Orion Pirate Ship come into view."

"Fire immediately, without orders."
