Bee swarms, as their name suggests, are a hive-mind group of organisms.

All sub-consciousnesses are under the control of a powerful main consciousness, and only a very small number of "central" individuals have semi-independent consciousness.

The person who controls this "swarm" is a "central" individual, who is called the mastermind in the swarm.

However, now, this mastermind is experiencing the biggest crisis he has encountered since his birth.

The unique sensor bugs of the swarm detected that extremely huge energy was gathering. The source was the main gun of a huge battleship, and the target... was the mastermind!

She didn't understand how she was exposed. Interstellar civilizations knew that killing the mastermind controlling the swarm would turn the swarm into a mess, so she paid special attention to hiding herself.

But she didn't expect that she would be exposed easily. For this reason, she had to control a large number of bee swarms to block in front of her, and at the same time ordered the remaining bee swarms to launch a suicide attack on the black fleet.

Countless strange-looking ferocious creatures rushed towards the black fleet like crazy, but were blocked by a blue barrier halfway.

The blue spherical shield kept flashing due to the attack of the swarm, but the smaller individuals disappeared into the stars the moment they touched the shield.

Only large individuals can persist on the shield for a few seconds, but they quickly evaporate out of thin air, as if they never appeared.

This time, the mastermind also discovered what the shield that had easily blocked the acid etching liquid before was.

This is a high-energy barrier composed of dense ultra-high-energy particles. All objects it touches will be torn to the atomic level in an instant.

To break through this shield, you can only rely on particle beams of comparable energy levels or kinetic energy weapons with a harder texture, but even if they pass through this shield, their energy will be greatly weakened.

She instantly understood that with the existing bee swarm, there was nothing she could do against this fleet. She couldn't even break it, so what could she use to fight against it?

So she had no choice but to try her best to keep the swarm in front of her as a human shield, and then try to exit the galaxy.

Huge energy fluctuations detonated throughout the galaxy, and a thick beam of light that seemed to penetrate the sky and the earth penetrated the space in an instant.

Everyone had to squint their eyes because of the bright light, except the mastermind who was retreating frantically.

"...90%...80%...70%..." The sub-consciousnesses under her control were disappearing like snowflakes, and the percentage representing the overall total was also declining rapidly.

The swarm individuals acting as human shields formed a "biological column", trying to reduce the power of the beam through their bodies and carapace.

However, their bodies that have evolved for thousands of years are easily turned into cosmic dust under the high-energy particles, and the weakening of the beam is minimal.

"30%...20%...10%..." The total number of bee colonies is still declining. No one expected that most of the bee colonies, usually counted in tens of billions, would disappear within a few minutes.

This kind of "annihilation" is almost permanent. A bee colony that can reuse most of the organic matter cannot use a bunch of particle clusters that have been reduced to basic particles.

In the end, after losing 95% of its individuals, this swarm could barely block the huge beam of light from the black fleet.

The smell of roasting bugs still seemed to linger in the universe, and the survivors far away in the trading post witnessed this scene and let out deafening cheers.

"That's great! Big ships and big guns are romantic! What do those small water pipes on the guard ship mean?"

"I'm finally saved now, thank God... ah no, thank you to the lucky me, I've avoided death again..."

"This kind of terrifying firepower...is it a Titan battleship? Only this kind of giant beast can carry this kind of main gun..."

"But judging from the energy fluctuations generated, it seems that none of the currently known Titan battleships can reach this level. Even the flagship of the Turbulent Empire is far inferior..."

"What is the origin of this 'guardian'?"

…

All kinds of emotions and questions echoed in the trading station, but Braining turned a deaf ear because the huge surprise overwhelmed his mind.

Not only was it saved, but also the resolution of this crisis proved that their previous guesses were correct.

"Guardian" is indeed a hidden and terrifying civilization.

After the swarm collapsed, the signal blockade here was also lifted. He uploaded everything that happened to the headquarters and received a reply.

This time he needs to spare no effort to entertain this mysterious "guardian" civilization, and at the same time, he must not offend them.

Crebo has some necessary needs and needs to rely on them.

…

The mastermind now has a feeling of despair.

It's not because the next giant cannon is about to hit her, but because the biomass she lost this time is too huge.

For bees, biological organic matter is the basis for the development of the colony.

She did not expect that the energy contained in this beam of light would be so terrifying. Otherwise, she would not choose to use a human shield to resist it, but would choose to kill herself.

In this case, the out-of-control swarms will instinctively flee and hibernate throughout the galaxy, waiting for the call of the "mother nest".

But now it's too late. Whether the current mastermind can go back or not is meaningless. Less than 5% of the remaining swarms may not even be able to pass through the dangerous interstellar space.

So, she looked at the trading station floating in the distance.

She could feel the energy from the black cannon gathering, but as an individual subordinate to the entire hive consciousness, she had never had the concept of death.

All her avoidance of danger is to better implement the will of the "Brother's Nest", and now, the moment has come that requires her sacrifice.

The genes in the main brain began to decompose themselves, collapsed, and soon dissolved together with her huge body, turning into a hormone full of information.

The biological links of the "swarms" also changed at this time. The bee swarms that were supposed to fall into chaos as the main brain disintegrated, all curled up into a ball under the influence of hormones and became "cocoons" floating in space.

”.

Someone in the trading station noticed something was wrong and started yelling.

Braining's pupils shrank sharply, and the robotic arm that pressed the corner of the table even left a fingerprint on it because it was too hard.

The next moment, all the floating "cocoons" started to move, and countless strange creatures with the same appearance broke out of their shells.

They look like an evolved version of giant flying ants, and their white cuticles quickly turn black under the influence of cosmic radiation.

However, the wings commonly used by bees for flight are not seen on them, and are replaced by a barrel-shaped organ located at the tail.

Powerful muscles wriggled rapidly on the surface, and a faint light could be seen brewing within the organs.

But they were all looking at the floating trading station, turning a blind eye to the threat of the black fleet.

The remaining pheromones after the master brain disintegrated are still affecting them, leaving behind the last instructions before losing their effectiveness.

--Destroy the trading post.

The tail organ of the giant flying ant suddenly emits a dazzling light, absorbing a large number of particles floating randomly in this space, and quickly converting them into propulsion power.

The living organisms seemed to have engines, and powerful jets spurted out from the cylindrical organ, causing them to crash into the trading station at extremely high speeds.

The newly hardened cuticle on the body slowly split into five petals at this moment, spinning the high-speed flying giant flying ants like a rotor, stabilizing their flight trajectory.

At this moment, these swarms of swarms flying at high speed were like missiles, attacking the trading station.

The remaining guard fleets reacted and began to do their best to intercept.

Explosions produced by various weapons occurred one after another in this interstellar space, but they were not enough for the total number of bees.

Even if less than 5% is left, they still have hundreds of millions of units.

Even though this kind of temporary evolution caused by the command of the master brain is very unstable, a large number of individuals fail to evolve and die directly, or the incomplete evolution causes them to directly disintegrate during high-speed flight.

But there are still tens of millions of swarms that hit the trading station. It can be said that as long as there are no accidents, it will be more than enough to destroy the entire trading station.

Unfortunately, the black fleet moved again.
