The sudden alarm frightened Song Sanniang so much that she immediately retreated into her shell and dared not move.

Suddenly there was a loud noise outside. After listening for a while, Song Sanniang realized that larvae were being born, so the mechanical nanny who had been guarding nearby sounded the alarm.

Soon the newborn larvae were taken away and the nursery returned to peace.

Because of this little episode, Song Sanniang no longer had the same curiosity as before.

She didn't know if it was because she had just used her mental power or because she had just been frightened, but she felt very tired and her eyelids were getting heavier and heavier. She didn't resist and fell asleep obediently.

What Song Sanniang didn't know was that in the short few seconds when her mental power extended from the shell, a male insect far away on a remote planet seemed to sense something, suddenly raised its head and looked around.

The subordinates who were on alert around them saw that Colonel Shen seemed to have discovered something, and they became more alert and used their mental power to explore the surroundings.

"Colonel, have you discovered anything?"

Shen Xiuming shook his head and said nothing.

Seeing Shen Xiuming shaking his head, the other people in the team breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that it was not a wild beast. The male insect in charge of surveying in the middle sped up.

Shen Xiuming quickly scanned the faces of the male insects present and saw that there was nothing abnormal with them. So was it just his illusion, or was it just directed at him?

He made a mental note and decided to investigate further after returning to base.

Soon, a group of male insects finished detecting the distribution of wild beasts nearby and began to retreat. Shen Xiuming walked at the end and was responsible for vigilance and finishing with another male insect, cleaning up the obvious traces left behind.

It can be seen that they were all well-trained, retreated quickly, and returned to base safely.

Shen Xiuming reported today's exploration situation to the commander one by one through the light computer screen. After the report, he waited for the commander's next instructions.

"Okay, I understand. Thank you for your hard work."

The commander looked at Shen Xiuming, who was standing meticulously on the screen in front of him, and couldn't help feeling sorry. What a good junior, why couldn't he find a matching partner?

"Xiu Ming, don't push yourself too hard. You know your own situation. Promise me, if you feel something is wrong..."

Shen Xiuming knew that the commander was genuinely concerned about his situation, so he did not refute it, but just listened quietly to the other side's nagging.

After An Jianming hung up the phone, he was still thinking about Shen Xiuming. Shen Xiuming's father had a good relationship with him when he was alive, and he had watched Shen Xiuming grow up.

This child had never seen his parents since he was a child. When he grew up, he was detected to have a mental power level of 3s. This was obviously a good thing, but there was no female insect that could match him.

Because he frequently uses his mental power on the battlefield, his mental power has been out of control several times. The mental power channeling potion has little effect on him now. If there is no highly compatible female insect to channel his mental power, he will die on the battlefield sooner or later.

What An Jianming didn't know was that Shen Xiuming's mental power had erupted again. Because the attack happened at night, he didn't let anyone know and carried it through on his own.

An Jianming felt that he could not wait any longer, so he turned on his computer and dialed a number.

"Hey, is that Lao Liu? I'm Lao An."

"Get lost, call me by my name, what's the old cow thing? I'm only over 200 years old."

The person opposite him spoke the last two sentences in a noticeably lower voice, mumbling them out.

"Forget it, you never come to me for no reason. Why did you bother to video call me today?"

An Jianming's smile faded, and he sighed sincerely, "I'm here for that kid Xiuming."

Liu Hongxin became serious when he heard his old friend mention Shen Xiuming's name.

"What do you want to ask?"

After a long silence, An Jianming spoke with some difficulty, "Please help me keep an eye out for female insects that are compatible with Xiuming. Any female insects that have a good enough compatibility will do."

Liu Hongxin didn't say anything, but stared at his old friend's face on the screen. After a while, he spoke.

"Does Xiuming know about this?" He understood his friend's thoughts after seeing the silence on the other side. "He won't agree. It's useless for you to look for him."

Not only is the female insect with the highest matching degree between Wei Jin and Shen Xiuming only 67%, as far as he knows, the mental power of that female insect is only S-level. If the matching degree between the female insect and the male insect is not high, and the gap in mental power is too large.

The outcome for the female insect will not be good. At the very least, her mental strength will be wasted, and at the worst, she will die directly.

No matter which female insect it is, it is too cruel. Shen Xiuming is a very principled person, and he will never agree to this.

An Jianming was speechless.

Liu Hongxin's expression softened. "Don't be too pessimistic. Let me tell you something. There are a large number of insect eggs in the nursery in my hospital that are about to hatch. Maybe we can find them then."

An Jianming perked up after hearing this, "That's right, Old Liu, you must give our Xiuming a good look."

"Need I tell you? Okay, I have something to do here, so I'll hang up first."

The computer screen in front of them went dark. The two male insects sighed inwardly and then got busy.

…

When Song Sanniang woke up again, she had no idea what year it was. She didn't know how long she had slept. She was a little surprised to learn from the system that she had slept for two standard interstellar hours (two days).

"I slept for so long."

It seems that she fell into a coma because she used her mental power that had not yet fully developed. She carefully checked her mental power and found that there were no sequelae, and the mental power she had used before had also recovered.

After sleeping for a few days, she couldn't sleep anymore and started walking back and forth in the eggshell, touching here and there.

It was an egg that was slightly larger than her body and there was only so much space, so she quickly explored it.

Bored, she started thinking about the setting of this world again.

Although it is a Zerg world set in an interstellar background, it is different from the novels she had read before where the Zerg and humans were in opposition. There are no humans here, and the Zerg's enemies are not humans, but wild beasts.

They have thick skin and flesh, strong reproductive capacity, and are numerous. The beast tide begins in the third stellar season every year and will recede after about an interstellar month.

Because this period is the season when they generally start mating, the females need energy, and the Zerg are their best prey. The higher the level of Zerg the females eat, the stronger the offspring will be.

The same is true for the Zerg. Eating the more powerful beasts they eat will be of great benefit to their bodies. It is the main source of energy for their growth.
