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

*******************

......

As the sun set on Satellite 45, the sky was just beginning to darken, with a hazy orange-red glow still visible on the horizon.

The Earth and the Moon hang overhead.

There were few people on the military training ground, and it was very quiet, with only the faint sound of the wind blowing.

......

Lu Jianan had calmed down. He sat motionless in place, like a statue. His eyes were lowered, his gaze unwavering, and he remained silent.

Gao Tian spoke to him first.

Gao Tian didn't look at Lu Jianan, nor did he look at anything specific; his eyes were vacant.

Gao Tian leaned back in his chair and sat relaxed, slowly saying, "...Actually, I'm hesitating."

Gao Tian said, "I've been thinking about this for the past few days: if people could live a peaceful life, would anyone really risk their lives?"

His eyes were calm, but he was truly thinking.

......

****************

.......

Gao Tian said slowly, "I know better than you what Star 65 is. Do I want to go?...I don't know."

Lu Jianan remained silent.

Gao Tian said, "I really don't know. If I go, I might die immediately; if I don't go, I can live for many more years."

It certainly sounds better not to go.

But Gao Tian changed the subject, saying, "But I am the strongest human being. What's the point of me not being the strongest human being?"

He has been thinking about this problem for the past few days.

If he doesn't go, what's the point of him coming into this world?

Gao Tian said, "I really haven't made up my mind these past few days. I'm not that noble as to jump down knowing it's certain death just to save the world."

He speaks very slowly.

"But then I wonder, if I don't go... what is the meaning of my existence in this world? What is the ultimate purpose of humanity?"

Won't it make others feel that you, the strongest human being, are not even as good as a piece of char siu?

He was rambling incoherently, just talking to himself.

He couldn't explain it too clearly to Lu Jianan.

Planet 65 is the only hope for life in this world.

If I don't go, I can survive for another nine years; if I go, I might die immediately.

Based on the estimated Zerg population on Planet 65, the Zerg hive on Planet 65 is a massive, well-established, and mature nest. Even disregarding the Zerg population, the hive walls alone are incredibly thick; don't expect a single person to successfully assassinate it with explosives.

The first wave of soldiers who landed on Planet 65 to carry out the assassination of the queen was clearly just scouts, tasked with infiltrating and finding out the location of the queen's nest before the Human Federation launched a general offensive against it.

What is the mortality rate of scouts? It's the highest in the entire army.

Moreover, this is deep into Planet 65, a planet 25 times larger than Earth, a long journey undertaken with no one to help.

Gao Tian slowly repeated, "But I am the strongest human being..."

If he doesn't go, who else can he send?

If he doesn't go, will he really be able to continue fighting without feeling anything when he sees himself as the strongest human again?

Probably not. He'll just keep thinking that there was once a chance to save the world that was presented to him, but he was too afraid to seize it.

Finally, he lived a mediocre and aimless life until the end of the world nine years later.

Lu Jianan finally spoke, saying, "I don't want you to go."

Gao Tian responded with a "Mm".

Lu Jianan added, "But if you didn't want to go, you wouldn't be telling me all this."

Gao Tian: "Hmm."

Lu Jianan asked, "Are you really determined to go?"

Gao Tian said, "Hmm."

Lu Jianan: "Can I come with you?"

Gao Tian said, "No."

Lu Jianan: "Hmph."

Lu Jianan added, "I don't want you to go."

Gao Tian said, "I know."

Lu Jianan asked again, "Can he come back?"

Gao Tian said, "I don't know. Don't make me make a promise."

......

The first person to sign up for the Insect Queen Assassination Plan:

First Assault Squad of Military Region 45, S-Class Alpha, Gao Tian.

......

***************

......

First Military Region, Commander's Office.

*

The adjutant to the commander of the First Military Region turned his head and glanced at the document that the Commander-in-Chief had been holding and studying for a long time.

Qi Wan, commander-in-chief of the First Military Region, was 54 years old and still in the late stages of his prime. He was still tall, handsome, and had a dignified demeanor.

Commander-in-Chief Qi sat in an armchair by the window, staring silently at Gao Tian's face in the photo on the registration form for a long time.

High heavens and high stars...

Gao Xing was only twenty-seven when he left, and Gao Tian is twenty-one this year.

He really looks a lot like his father.

They look so alike, they're practically identical!

It's like every time he sees it, he's reminded of that day when Gao Xing said to him, "Qi Wan, I'm an omega. I'm sorry, I have to retire."

High stars...

He never imagined Gao Xing would do that.

He grabbed Gao Xing by the collar and pinned him against the door, asking him again and again why.

Why?

You lied to me.

Why?

Gao Xing kept telling him that he was pregnant with an omega and that he was sorry.

......

omega.

She is clearly his lover.

So what if you're in an AA relationship? It doesn't break the law.

There are far more alphas than omegas, and so many people are vying for every omega, so why would anyone else try to steal their lover?

......

But since Gao Xing wanted to leave him so badly, he eventually let him go.

His colleagues at the time, upon learning that he had disagreed with the adjutant's decision to retire, all advised him against it:

It's good that Deputy Gao wants a peaceful life now that he has a family...

He's done his best for you these past few years...

Don't force yourself...

Don't look for him...

Don't disturb him...

......

He once secretly went to see Gao Xing.

On that low-level satellite, he was strolling hand in hand with a very beautiful female omega, and they looked very happy.

He left quietly without saying a word and never checked on Gao Xing again.

So many years have passed, and he didn't know that Gao Xing had a child, nor did he know that Gao Xing had long since died.

Just like that day twenty-one years ago, he couldn't tell anyone: No, he's not just my adjutant, he's also my lover.

Zerg, on the southernmost frontier.

*

Zerg roaming and surveying stars is a job that seems romantic and adventurous, but is actually incredibly tedious and boring.

Day after day, Lan sat by the porthole, his eyes glued to the star map of the route. The AI ​​system scanned each galaxy along the way, checking for any potential problems.

Potential security issues are not limited to the endless proliferation of newborn insect queens in the universe that are constantly devouring planets, but also include harassment and invasion from other intelligent races in the surrounding area (although the likelihood is small).

The Zerg Empire has a vast territory and numerous resource-rich planets. In addition, there have never been any Zerg on its borders. Money is a powerful motivator, and there will always be some who will take risks to raid the Zerg Empire's resource planets for rare and valuable resources in the universe.

Then there are the most troublesome and universally hated space pirates.

Unfortunately, the task of restricting the space pirates in the surrounding area also belongs to the Zerg Empire, because the leader of these space pirates is also a Zerg.

This Zergling is actually related to Lan; he's Lan's uncle, the biological brother of the late Zerg Queen.

Although they are brothers, it might be more appropriate to describe their relationship as that of "rivals".

The struggle for the Zerg throne is extremely brutal and bloody.

The Zerg do not have the concept of brotherly deference. If a Zerg has blood brothers, then his greatest enemy in the Zerg is his blood brother.

A family can only have one head. The victor ascends to heaven, the loser falls to the ground.

If the loser in the struggle for the position of family head does not choose to leave, he will become a worker insect of the family, unable to reproduce and turning into a tool of the family.

The Queen of Zerg was fighting this man, now the leader of the space pirates, for the throne back then.

The pirate captain made a fatal mistake, losing to the previous Zerg Queen. After his defeat, he angrily led his men away from the Zerg Empire and joined the ranks of space pirates.

This former Zerg prince abandoned the dignity and honor that should belong to the superior Zerg race, choosing to remain forever in a half-Zerg form as a monster pirate, never to return to human form.

Lan had met this infamous space pirate leader when he was expanding his territory.

The gray-winged moth looks very similar to its parents in insect form. I've never seen a humanoid version, but I imagine they're not too different.

The previous queen was so beautiful, her twin brother must be just as good-looking.

Unfortunately, he was mentally ill.

He is violent and vicious, with an ugly way of eating. Not only does he plunder resources, but he also wants to slaughter stars.

The most notorious thing about the current pirate captain is that he enjoys slaughter, especially killing stars.

In interstellar law, planets are divided into war zones and peaceful zones. Fighting to the death in war zones is acceptable, but slaughtering peaceful planets is utterly inhumane.

Lan had once seen the peaceful planet he had slaughtered, and his thought was, why didn't his father just kill that lunatic and benefit society back then?

His current adjutant, Bampo, is the chubby little boy he picked up on a peaceful planet that had been ravaged by slaughter.

When the planet Bumblebee encountered Orion, only one in ten of its people survived.

When Lan passed by the planet Bumblebee, she encountered Bambo, who had become an orphan, and insisted on taking him back to Liernia, raising him to be her personal assistant.

Bambo was adorable as a child, but he grew up to be a bear. He would faint from hunger if he didn't eat for forty minutes.

......

Lan was half-reclined in the driver's seat, legs crossed, lost in thought, his mind wandering aimlessly. Suddenly, a flash of fire appeared on the side of the starship, striking its flank.

The small starship was too small, and like a marble, it tumbled and was thrown away with a "bang!"

Blue: "?! Holy crap!"

Lan took off from the pilot's seat.
