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

......

Human Federation, Earth, Yunnan Military Region Residence.

On a peaceful morning, the villas on the hillside in Yunnan still offer stunning scenery and a pleasant climate.

The sun came out, and the dewdrops on the leaves of the grass and trees refracted light like tiny diamonds.

Bougainvillea is in full bloom on the porch.

The birdsong was clear and melodious.

Sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting warm, dappled patterns on the living room's wooden floor.

The entire area around the Yunnan residence was cleared out on the orders of Commander-in-Chief Qi, with only female soldiers stationed around it to prevent anyone from getting close.

Centered on the villas halfway up the mountain, an area with a radius of fifty kilometers was designated as a martial law zone.

In the sky, there is a low-altitude defense network that is invisible to the naked eye but has powerful energy, and a swarm of stealthy drones that patrol around the clock. On the ground, there is an impregnable wall composed of two elite armies: the Crown Prince's Guard and the Crown Princess's Guard.

Hidden sentries, visible posts, defensive perimeters, automated defensive turrets, energy barriers...

Layer upon layer, so densely packed that it was impenetrable.

Not even an ant can sneak in.

Looking out from the floor-to-ceiling window, Gao Tian could see the female soldiers on guard duty from any direction.

On the terrace, outside the courtyard walls, on the roads in the residential area, on the back hill, on the rooftops of the surrounding villas... wherever the eye can see, including the inaccessible places, there are female soldiers everywhere.

And there was Bamba, patrolling tirelessly and constantly, occasionally flashing past the window.

Gao Tian was sprawled on the large, soft leather sofa in the living room, covered with a blanket, idly playing on his phone.

The screen kept scrolling with interstellar news and social media messages. He didn't even know what he was watching; he was just trying to distract himself.

He knew that if he stayed home these few days and didn't go anywhere, and avoided any danger, that would be the greatest help he could give his baby.

The great Crown Prince is fearless in the face of anyone, okay?

His current weakness is that he needs to protect himself.

Gao Tian yawned, and a few physiological tears squeezed out from the corner of his eye.

These past two days he has strictly adhered to the principle of not leaving the house, not even going to the terrace.

Bambo supervised their three meals a day, and even the water they drank was tested by the Guards.

The activity area is basically limited to the living room, study, and bedroom; we are determined not to cause any trouble for their baby.

The villa was surrounded by guards every three steps and sentries every five steps. So many elite female soldiers surrounded the villa. As long as he didn't go out, he would be absolutely safe.

......

Gao Tian continued swiping the computer screen listlessly; there wasn't anything particularly fun about the interstellar era.

I clicked on a video about the restoration of ancient Earth's cuisine, and it really perked me up!

Wow, Guo Bao again.

Deep-fried and then boiled, it's high in calories and has a sweet and sour flavor that our baby will definitely love.

Learn it!

The Crown Princess was trying to please the Crown Prince by humbly learning from him, but the video suddenly froze halfway through.

"Hmm?" Gao Tian frowned and swiped his finger across the screen.

Software notification: [Your network connection is not very good. Please check your network settings.]

Gao Tian: ?

Are there still places on Earth with poor internet access?

He subconsciously looked at the upper right corner of the screen.

A glaring red X icon.

No network connection.

Gao Tian frowned, switched to the settings page, and wanted to see if it was a problem with the personal computer.

After switching to another app, he saw the signal section on the communications page.

The same glaring red cross.

No signal.

Not only network signals, but even basic local communication signals...

It's been blocked!

Gao Tian's finger stopped on the screen.

A chill suddenly crept up my spine.

Gao Tian suddenly felt that the surroundings were very quiet.

It's too quiet.

A dead silence.

I can't quite describe the feeling.

The birdsong outside the window, the rustling of leaves in the wind, the sound of the temperature control system running, and the gentle airflow of the air circulation system were still there, but suddenly it felt as if I was surrounded by a huge, soundproof glass dome.

Something's not right, something's very wrong.

The sound of Gao Tian's heartbeat suddenly became unusually clear.

Thump, thump, thump...

Gao Tian suddenly sat up straight on the sofa, the thin blanket slipping down to his waist.

He held his breath and listened intently.

There was nothing there.

Just now, Bamp was loitering outside the window... and now?

He walked to the French windows and suddenly realized that the female guards outside were gone.

A strong sense of crisis instantly rushed to his scalp, making it tingle.

Gao Tian instantly drew his weapon, released the safety, and crouched behind the sofa.

He moved extremely lightly, silently creeping from behind the sofa to the door without making a sound.

He slowly and cautiously pushed the door open a crack.

Outside the door is the villa's entrance hall, and beyond that is the courtyard, which was originally guarded by many female soldiers.

Through the tiny gap, Gao Tian's pupils suddenly contracted.

The female guards were still in the same spot, but they all fell down silently at some point.

Outside the villa, a group of people lay sprawled on their original guard posts, their postures contorted in disarray, as if they had lost consciousness instantly without even having time to react.

Two sentries were standing guard just two steps away from the doorway, and they too fell down.

The two female soldiers slid down to the ground, leaning against the doorpost, their heads drooping limply, revealing half of their unresponsive profiles.

Faced with this strange situation, and unsure if there were snipers in the distance, Gao Tian dared not make any rash moves and went out to check if they were still breathing.

Everywhere you look, at the edge of the terrace, in the shadow of the bushes, at the corner outside the door... all the figures lie silently in the morning sunlight, in different postures, all unconscious.

The perimeter security cordon around the villa collapsed silently.

What could possibly take down so many well-trained and physically strong female military guards at the same time, without them even noticing?

Oh, and what about Bamba? Where is Bamba? Is it possible that he's still awake?

Gao Tian's heart pounded. He took a step back and immediately called out loudly, "Bambo—"

The sound echoed.

It was still completely silent.

There was no response. Only the echo of his own shout gradually faded into the silence.

All the female guards were taken down, and there was no response to calls for Bampo. Communication was also lost, and the terminal signal was blocked.

problem occurs.

I don't know who they are, but they definitely came prepared.

It's not someone from the Federation of Humans; it might be Orion.

How could the people of the Human Federation have such abilities?

If humanity had the ability to silently take down two of the Zerg Crown Prince's guards, the Zerg would no longer be the dominant species; humanity would take over.

Isn't the Third Legion guarding the wormhole? How come there are Zerg invaders coming through?

Has something happened to the Third Army?

Is Orion about to invade the Federation of Humans?

He went back to hide behind the furniture.

The invaders' methods were so bizarre that they were beyond his comprehension. They silently took down all the guards—who would have thought?

Bampo may have already fallen somewhere.

He is currently unable to contact the outside world; the intruders may have already surrounded the villa, or even entered it.

The impregnable fortress has now become a giant cage.

And he, now, is the bird in the jar... no, the bird in the cage about to be caught.

He cannot act rashly now; he must first find out who the enemy is and where they are before he can decide whether to fight or run, and from which route to escape.

Gao Tian calmly hid behind the furniture, quietly, even breathing as softly as possible, without making a sound, cautiously concealed in the silent living room.

The morning sun was still bright, but it didn't feel warm at all; I felt cold all over.

His back was covered in a layer of cold sweat, which soaked his clothes, and he felt a little chilly under the air conditioner.

Gao Tian moved further back into the sofa.

Fortunately, he still had a weapon.

It's not like they're completely without any support.

His life is tied to their baby's life; he must protect himself.
