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

***********

……

Orion's face suddenly appeared on the hibernation pod's distress channel, on Bishen's eyepiece screen, obscuring the male insect's face.

With a face identical to the former queen, he laughed loudly, "Surprised, little Bishen? Isn't it cute to have a bomb strapped to this little male's neck?"

Bi Shen turned off the communicator.

He saw the outer shell of the hibernation pod begin to turn red, and the Beauty Bee cruiser that had exploded in the ionization cloud was still burning fiercely.

If the temperature gets too high and continues to rise in the hibernation chamber, the internal control program inside will malfunction.

We can't get any closer.

The spacecraft's propulsion speed was much faster than the hibernation pod, and Bishen quickly caught up with the hibernation pod's speed. After getting close, he controlled the spacecraft to throw a gravity magnetic cable at the hibernation pod.

The magnetic cable automatically grabs and winds around the hibernation pod in front.

bingo!

The magnetic cable retracts, folding the hibernation pod back into place.

But as the spacecraft's magnetic cables were pulling and retrieving the hibernation pod, two white navigation lights lit up deep within the ionized cloud, like the glowing eyes of a giant beast in the clouds.

It was another cruiser from the Bee family, which had been hiding in the ionization cloud created by another ship's self-destruction.

Suddenly, artillery fire came from the ionized cloud, and before Bishen could react, the aircraft and its hibernation pod were blasted away.

Bishen frantically pressed the magnetic cable recovery button, but there was no response; the aircraft's central control system had been damaged by the Bee Family's cruiser.

"You stupid bastards, you beautiful bees, I'll wipe out your whole family after today!" Bishon bit the laser gun in his mouth and fastened the seal on his radiation protection suit with both hands.

Then he stretched out his wings, tore open the aircraft's hatch, and dashed like lightning toward the ionized cloud that was gradually engulfing the hibernation pod.

The hibernation pod's electronic lock used a twenty-digit password. When Bi Shen wiped the crystalline gray off the transparent pod door, he saw that Lu Jianan's eyelashes inside were curled up by the high temperature.

An unknown explosive device was strapped to the boy's neck with a black strap, and a countdown timer showed that there were still two minutes left.

The radiation and vacuum environment of the ionizing cloud are fatal to the male insect. It cannot open or open the hibernation chamber, and can only vibrate its wings at high speed to push the hibernation chamber outward.

But it was too slow; he didn't have much time, only two minutes.

With one minute left on the countdown, the hibernation pod's internal control program finally went awry due to the bombardment and intense heat, and the emergency thrusters suddenly ignited.

Caught off guard, Bi Shen almost had his lungs ripped out, but luckily he managed to wedge the hatch with his feet in time, his military boots nearly shoveling sparks off the metal surface.

Great.

Thank you, Chaos Hero.

Bishen turned the hibernation pod around, and propelled by the high speed of the emergency thrusters, the pod shot straight out of the ionization cloud!

"Get backup! Get backup!"

Bishen frantically pressed the communicator, not knowing who he was shouting at.

Without the interference of the ionizing cloud, the Zerg on the Blade Fleet could now detect them. A frantic response came quickly through the communicator: "Yes! Yes!!!"

The Bladeship missile arrived with the grabbing cable, and the countdown reached thirty seconds.

That's too late.

As the magnetic cord wrapped around the hibernation pod, a blinding red light suddenly illuminated the interior. The male insect curled up in a fetal position under the transparent cap, its wrists and ankles covered in blisters from the intense heat.

The bomb countdown shows only thirty seconds left.

Gan ah!

There's nothing we can do!

Bishen extended his blade arm and slashed fiercely at the hatch of the hibernation pod!

There was no time to wait for it to be safely dismantled on the ship; brute force was the only option.

As for whether the male insect can survive being exposed to the vacuum, or whether it will be detonated when the bomb is violently dismantled... we can only leave it to fate.

The protective layer of the hibernation pod had cracked from the high-temperature radiation just now, and it exploded with a crack after Bishen chopped it off.

Lu Jianan was suffocating in the cold vacuum, unconsciously revealing a pained expression.

Bishen pulled him into his arms and used a chop to cut the black band around his neck.

Orion used something to make this strap, which looked like soft fabric, actually stronger than alloy.

The male insect's neck, a fragile mass of flesh and blood, was softer than tofu under the mantis's transformed, bladed arms. Bishen dared not exert force with one hand, lest he tear not the bindings, but the male insect's neck.

There was nothing Shen could do but hold him tightly to his chest, pulling him forcefully from both sides with both hands—

The male insect's face turned red. Caught off guard, he was exposed to a vacuum, and suffocation gripped his lungs. He was on the verge of death, and the extreme pain caused tears to well up in his closed eyes.

Just as the countdown was about to reach zero, Bishen snapped all the wires and threw the bomb far away.

In a vacuum, there is no resistance; the bomb travels thousands of meters in an instant and explodes far, far away.

At that moment, the magnetic cable finally came to a stop, and the Blade Ship's boarding hatch suddenly opened, pulling them inside!

The Bladeship thankfully kept up and managed to capture the little male insect before it suffocated to death.

The hatch closed, and oxygen was pumped in through the oxygen filling vents at the four corners of the cabin with a long hiss.

He lay on the ground in a spread-eagle position, panting heavily.

Damn, he's exhausted.

The sudden impact of the hibernation pod igniting nearly broke several of his ribs.

The rescued male insect lay unconscious on his chest.

Disinfectant, neutralizer, radiation-absorbing agent, and wound healing agent for male insects were successively sprayed from the four oxygen filling ports.

The medical team was already waiting at the entrance of the passageway, just one door away, ready to go in and transfer the male insect to the medical pod as soon as the medicine was sprayed.

Bi Shen was exhausted. He was too tired to move on his own, so he lay down on the ground, ignoring the little male insect clinging to his chest, and just waited for the medical team's insects to carry him along with them.

Bi Shen closed his eyes, lay down, counted the time, and took a rest.

By the time the medicine was sprayed for the third time, the medical team's insects hadn't yet entered, but the young male insects were already making noise.

Lu Jianan took a deep breath, her eyelashes suddenly fluttered, and then she opened her eyes.

Bishen felt the little male insect slowly raise its head from his chest, prop itself up, very slowly, without saying a word, and he felt a little scared and pitiful.

Bishen didn't open his eyes, but patted him on the back, reassuring him: "Hello, Your Excellency. Please forgive my offense. We are the Imperial army. Congratulations, you are safe. The pirate leader has been captured by us..."

He was halfway through his sentence when he realized something was wrong, because he felt chaotic breathing on the side of his neck.

Bishen suddenly opened his eyes and used his forearm to block his throat, but it was too late.

Lu Jianan's alpha pheromone fangs, before his hand could reach out, bit down hard on the side of his neck.

The glands of this mantis species are located on the side of their neck, which is the only soft part of their body.

Lu Jianan, who had just woken up, bit down on the gland on the side of his neck.
