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

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

......

"Boss!" The half-insect pirate on guard flew over. "It's bad! Military warships and troops have been spotted ten kilometers away, and they're approaching! We didn't dare get close enough to take a closer look, but we estimate it's the Zerg army! There shouldn't be any other army here in the Liernia Empire."

The fact that the Zerg army is here is probably related to this small starship and this male Zerg.

If a superior male insect is here, how come it doesn't have an army accompanying it?

Although their pirate group was much larger and more mature than ordinary space pirates, they were not yet capable of directly confronting the Zerg Empire's army.

Orion waved his hand dismissively: "Withdraw! Take this male insect with you!"

"Oh—!" The pirates cheered haphazardly, raising their arms in disarray.

Lu Jianan was even more frightened, wondering why these monsters had suddenly become so agitated.

He turned around hastily, trying to run, but before he could take more than a few steps, a monster with the body of a half-dragonfly caught up from behind with lightning speed and knocked him unconscious.

Orion's second-in-command, a female dragonfly, carried him upside down on her shoulder. Lu Jianan's white coat pockets spilled out a clatter of pens, notebooks, and camera terminals, among other odds and ends, onto the floor.

The pirates paid no attention to the messy and miscellaneous things. They carried Lu Jianan and flew through the jungle at a speed comparable to a supersonic fighter jet, quickly leaving the place.

......

Not long after, when Xiao Li led the military personnel to the crater, they found it deserted.

Where is Teacher Lu?

"Teacher Lu?" Xiao Li looked around and called out.

No one responded.

Xiao Li panicked a little. He climbed onto the mound of earth at the edge of the crater, hoping to see if Lu Jianan was excavating the remains at the bottom of the crater, but he couldn't hear them.

There was no one at the bottom of the pit.

Lu Jianan, who was supposed to stay here, is gone.

To put it bluntly, Lu Jianan is the future of their research institute.

The researchers panicked.

"Teacher Lu, Teacher Lu—"

They were only gone for a short while, and their director's precious only apprentice got into trouble. How were they going to explain this to the director?

Military officers inspected the scene and found Lu Jianan's personal belongings scattered on the ground.

Oh no, judging from how scattered these things are, it seems like something really has happened.

Fortunately, no bloodstains or signs of a struggle were found at the scene. It seems Teacher Lu was kidnapped by some unknown force, but is not in mortal danger.

The military quickly cordoned off the area and prepared to conduct an investigation on Star 65.

A group of people came here; surely they wouldn't have left no trace, right?

But they gained nothing.

By this time, Orion's pirate crew, who had kidnapped Lu Jianan, had already cleared all traces and escaped quickly with Lu Jianan aboard their starship.

......

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

......

When Lu Jianan woke up, her nose was filled with stale air and a very unpleasant smell of engine oil.

Alpha's senses are acute; the smell was too pungent. He coughed a few times, then suddenly woke up, covering his nose.

He got up and found himself locked in a cage in an empty, steel-walled cabin.

This place is like a storage room, completely empty except for his cage and a few boxes with their lids closed.

Judging from the surrounding environment, it should be on a spaceship on a long-distance voyage.

The room layout seemed somewhat familiar, like the space force's long-range voyage that they had once sailed on.

The cage wasn't big; it was the kind of metal cage usually used for large dogs. It was very low, so he couldn't stand up straight inside; he could only sit or half-lie down.

Is he... captured?

His memories returned in an instant, and he remembered how he was surrounded and scrutinized by a group of monsters that resembled both humans and insects.

Judging from the current situation, he should have been taken away by those monsters.

The worst has happened.

The Zerg may have truly evolved intelligence, and in the future, humanity will no longer face a group of powerful beasts, but a group of monsters that possess both the physical strength of beasts and the mental capacity of humans.

......Um?

That doesn't make sense either. Intelligent Zerg, isn't that the same Zerg empire that the Crown Prince, Gao Tian's love interest, has?

Moreover, the people of the Zerg Empire he saw in his dream were all so normal. At most, they had wings, but they didn't look like these half-human, half-insect monsters.

Lu Jianan thought about the monsters he had captured and pressed his forehead.

My head hurts so much, damn it, it's going to explode.

What exactly are those monsters?

Why arrest him?

Lu Jianan touched his pockets; the terminal was gone, and everything on him was missing. He didn't know if it had been taken away or if it had fallen out when he was abducted.

He said the pockets on the white coats were too big and they should have added zippers!

He was too proud and concerned about his image, so he refused to add anything. Now look what happened!

This wide and deep bag can hold a lot of things, but when you bend over, it will all fall out like a straight cylinder.

......

Perhaps it was because there were surveillance cameras in the room, and someone... or insects were watching Lu Jianan's every move from behind the cameras. Not long after Lu Jianan regained consciousness, one... and another...

Ahhhhh, a half-insect humanoid creature that I can't quite name walked in!

Lu Jianan retreated rapidly inside the cage.

What the hell is all this stuff?! Why does Gao Tian, ​​that bastard, encounter a beautiful woman while he runs into a bunch of monsters?! QAQ

The fear reached its peak when the half-insect reached its claws into the cage, trying to touch him.

Lu Jianan struggled frantically: "Ahhhhhh, don't come any closer!!!!"

But the monster simply reached up to his head, pulled out a strand of his hair, and carried it away.

Lu Jianan: "?"
