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

***********

......

The Crown Prince opened his communicator, accessed the highest-level encrypted channel, and contacted the undercover agent.

This encrypted channel is accessible only to him and Bishen, and is directly linked to their devices; no one else can access it.

Their mole on the Orion was the head of the repair crew on the Orion Orion.

It's kind of funny, but the spies Orion planted on the Prince's ship were maintenance engineers, and the spies they planted on Orion's ship were also maintenance engineers.

Being a repairman is a high-risk job, but every ship needs one.

The call was made.

AI adds camouflage coverage, creating one-to-one device-type signals that are deeply buried beneath countless signals and camouflage codes, making them virtually impossible to track—ghost nodes.

The signal was delivered in a point-and-shoot manner, bypassing the signal network of Blackwater and penetrating directly to a fixed receiving device on the planet's surface.

The communication was established.

There was no image on the other end of the channel, only darkness.

[Channel security. Please speak.] The technician confirmed first.

"It's me, the repairman. I need to infiltrate Blackwater. Please try to open a crack in Blackwater's planetary barrier from the inside."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the communicator.

"...I'm sorry, Your Highness, I cannot do that. I do not have the authority to operate the planetary barrier. Operating the planetary barrier on Blackwater requires simultaneous authentication from the operator, the lieutenant, and Orion."

"I know, we don't need to go all out. Please find an inconspicuous corner and use technology to briefly disrupt the physical or energy levels, creating a tiny opening for a single soldier to penetrate. The window of opportunity doesn't need to be long, one second is enough."

There was a longer silence on the other end of the channel.

The repairman quickly assessed the feasibility of the task.

【...Still not recommended.】 The synthesized voice was solemn. 【Forcibly prying open the planetary barrier has an estimated detection rate exceeding 65%. Even if successful, if you attempt to infiltrate alone, Your Highness, you will face an annihilation by hundreds of millions of rebel troops within the Blackwater Star barrier.】

At that time, the Crown Prince will become the one trapped in the jar.

"I know the risks," Lan told him, "but it's the only way."

The repairman remained silent for a long time before replying: "Understood."

The repairman tapped on the keyboard: "I'll do my best. It will probably take... a few hours to prepare."

"Okay." Lan lowered his voice: "Once the breach is opened, I will infiltrate alone and try to rescue the hostages."

He single-handedly ventured into a dangerous place to rescue three important hostages, a plan that sounded like a fantasy with a success rate of almost zero.

Silence fell again on the other end of the channel.

This time, the repairman remained silent for an even longer period, so long that Lan almost thought the signal had been interrupted.

"The success rate is too low, and it is highly discouraged." The repairman stated the facts.

"I know," Lan said calmly. "So there's a backup plan. While I infiltrate, I need you to plant high-energy explosives as close as possible to Orion's core area or energy hub. Set it to remote or signal-triggered. If I confirm that rescue is impossible, I will signal you. At that time, detonate it, create maximum chaos, and cooperate with me for one last assault attempt."

No! You...

"This is the only way."

[Understood. Final plan confirmed. I will do my best to create opportunities for you to get closer to your goal.]

Orion had been very cautious, and the chances of the bomb succeeding were slim. What the Crown Prince needed was for the bomb to cause chaos, so he could then launch an attack on Orion.

Orion is now stronger than the Queen of Insects was at her peak. The Crown Prince's chances of successfully attacking Orion are not high, and he may even be besieged by Orion's minions.

Lan fully understood the consequences.

If the attack fails, that's fine too.

If all else fails, he can always just self-destruct.

If he fails to take Orion by self-destructing, it's fine. At worst, the Crown Prince and Crown Princess will die together, and the new Empress will have no worries and can lead the army to eliminate Orion.

However, if he really fails to take Orion away after self-destructing, the undercover agent will undoubtedly die.

Whether the Legion doesn't bombard Blackwater first and Orion finds out, or the Legion bombards Blackwater directly and is annihilated along with it, they are doomed.

Lan paused for a moment, then said to him, "I'm sorry, but it will require you to risk your life."

The synthesized voice remained silent for a moment, then finally responded with only one short sentence: "I would die for you."

[Coordinates: [Encrypted][Encrypted][Encrypted]. Time: 2 AM. Communication complete.]

No matter what decision His Highness the Crown Prince makes, they will always support him.

**********

......

Gao Tian was taken back to prison and put back in his cell.

The cell was quiet.

Gao Xing, Qin Qin, and Bi Shen and Lu Jianan on the other side remained silent, watching with concern as Gao Tian was brought in by the guards, noticing the few drops of blood on his face.

Gao Tian's wrists were chained again.

He stood against the wall, the stone wall pressing against his back, without looking up: "I'm fine, I just got pinched by Orion."

This minor injury is nothing; the other thing is much more serious.

He saw Lan's eyes during the daytime negotiations between Lan and Orion, and he saw his determination to die together with Lan.

Just think of the Crown Prince's unyielding and fiery temper in his previous life...

Ugh.

Think, think, think quickly, what other ways are there to break the current situation?

Please don't go outside and find our baby bug's corpse!

Every minute and every second felt like a guillotine hanging over the little butterfly's neck; it could strike at any moment or fall down at any time.

We must find a way to get out immediately.

Gao Tian opened his eyes and glanced across the cell.

Bishen was firmly handcuffed to the wall. His limbs and neck were locked in shackles, leaving him no room to move.

His eyes were closed, his breathing was steady, but his muscles were tense, like a trapped beast.

Lu Jianan, standing next to him, was a useless little good-for-nothing, so we'll skip her.

Gao Xing and Qin Qin were next to him.

Qin Qin was on his left, and Gao Xing was on his right.

Gao Tian didn't even look to the right. He didn't know how to talk to Gao Xing. Every time they made eye contact, the air was thick with awkwardness and stiffness.

He turned to his left and looked at Qinqin: "Mommy."

He felt quite awkward around President Qi and Gao Xing, but he was much more relaxed around Qin Qin, since he knew she wasn't his real mother.

Qin Qin looked up at him, tugged at the corners of her mouth, and tried to smile at him.

But I can't laugh. I give up.

Gao Tian asked Qin Qin, "Do you have that kind of, you know, when you're backed into a corner, you have to fight to the death?"

Qinqin looked at him but didn't answer immediately.

She instinctively peeked out and looked at Gao Xing.

Gao Xing, who had just closed his eyes, opened them and looked at Gao Tian.

He looked at the back of Gao Tian's head, which was facing him, and said, "Tian Tian."

Gao Tian couldn't pretend he hadn't heard, so he braced himself and turned around to look at Gao Xing.

Gao Xing looked at him gently and asked, "Does it have to be this way?"

Gao Tian said, "I'm going to kill our baby." He paused for a moment, then added, "Our baby bug gave me a look; he wants to take Orion down with him."

He laid that ultimate possibility bare before everyone.

Lu Jianan suddenly raised her head. Bi Shen opened his eyes, and the shackles twitched softly. Qin Qin's back tensed, and she turned to Gao Xing.

They haven't even met their daughter-in-law yet, how can they say goodbye forever?

Gao Xing lowered his eyes, not looking at anyone, and remained silent for a long time.

He looked at his palm.

These hands, once full of power, are now nothing but broken.

But he actually does have it.

Gao Tian smiled and said, "It's alright, the situation can't get any worse than it is now."

He would never let their baby worms go down that deadly path alone.

A, a good family member, will definitely protect his wife.

In the ABO world, omegas die, and alphas can never live alone; the pain of losing a partner can drive them insane.

Gao Tian knew this was cruel for a father, but he really had no other choice.

Please.
