Chapter 26: Desperate Strike

Bee colonies, like their names, are a species of beehive-minded biological population.

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

The one who controls this "bee swarm" is a "central" individual, and she is called the master brain in the bee swarm.

However, now, the master brain is experiencing the biggest crisis it has encountered since its birth.

The unique sensor insects in the bee swarm detected that extremely huge energy was gathering, the source was the main gun of a huge warship, and the target... was the main brain!

She didn't understand how she was exposed. Interstellar civilizations knew that killing the main brain that controlled the group could turn the bee swarm into a mess, so she also paid special attention to hiding herself.

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

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

The blue spherical shield kept flashing due to the bee swarm's attack, but the smaller individuals disappeared into the interstellar moment they touched the shield.

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

This time the main brain also discovered what the shield that had easily blocked the acid etching liquid was.

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

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

She instantly realized that the existing bee swarm was helpless with this fleet, and she couldn't even break the defense, so why would she use to fight?

So she had to try her best to get the bee swarm to act as a meat shield, and then try to exit the galaxy.

A huge energy fluctuation detonated throughout the galaxy, and a thick beam of light that seemed to be reaching the sky and the earth penetrated through the space in an instant.

Everyone had to squint because of the strong light, but the master's mind was retreating out frantically.

"…90%…80%…70%…” Those subconscious minds under her control are disappearing like snowflakes, representing that the percentage of the overall total is also decreasing rapidly.

The individuals of bee colonies acting as meat shields are arranged into a "biological column" trying to reduce the power of this beam through their flesh and shells.

However, their bodies that have evolved for thousands of years can easily turn into cosmic dust under high-energy particles, and the light beam is weakened in slightest.

"30%...20%...10%..." The total number of bee colonies is still decreasing. No one expected that most of the bee colonies would disappear within a few minutes based on tens of billions.

This "elimination" is almost permanent. The bee swarm that can reuse most of the organic matter cannot use a bunch of particles that have been reduced to elementary particles.

In the end, after losing 95% of individuals, the swarm barely blocked the huge beam of light from the Black Fleet.

The smell of roasted bugs seemed to float in the universe, and the survivors far away at the trading station witnessed this scene and made deafening cheers.

"Great! Big ships and giant cannons are romance! What are the small water pipes of the guard ships?"

"I'm finally saved now. Thank God... Oh no, thank me for being lucky, for avoiding the death disaster again..."

"Is this terrifying firepower... a Titan battleship? Only this kind of monster can carry this main gun..."

"But judging from the energy fluctuations generated, it seems that the Titan warships known so far cannot reach this level, and even the flagships of the Turbulence Empire are far inferior to those of..."

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

...

All kinds of feelings and questions echoed in the trading site, but Brenin turned a deaf ear, because the huge surprise drove him into his mind.

It is not only about salvation, but also about the elimination of this crisis, which proves that their previous speculation is correct.

The "Guardian" is indeed a terrifying civilization hidden and unexposed.

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

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

Cruises has some necessary needs to rely on them.

...

The master's brain has now felt a sense of despair.

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

For bee colonies, biological organic matter is the foundation of ethnic development.

She didn't expect that the energy contained in this light beam would be so terrifying. Otherwise, she wouldn't choose to use a flesh shield to resist it, but would choose to end it yourself.

In this way, the swarms of bees that have lost control will scatter and escape under instinct, hiding dormant in various parts of the galaxy, waiting for the call of the "maternal nest".

But now everything is too late. It doesn’t make sense whether the main brain returns or not. Less than 5% of the remaining bee colonies may not even 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 being gathered, but as an individual subordinate to the entire hive consciousness, she never had the concept of death.

All her avoidance of danger is to better implement the will of "maternity", and now, the time for her to sacrifice herself has come.

The genes in the main brain began to self-decompose and collapse, and soon dissolved along with her huge body, turning into a piece of information-filled hormone.

The biological links of the "bee swarm" also changed at this time. The bee swarm, which should have fallen into chaos as the main brain disintegrated, curled up in a ball under the influence of hormones, and became "cocoons" floating in the space.

Someone at the trading station noticed something was wrong and started shouting.

Brenin's pupils also shrank, and the robotic arm holding the corner of the table even left a fingerprint on it because he tried too hard.

The next moment, all the floating "cocoons" moved strangely, and countless strange creatures with the same appearance broke out from it.

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

However, the wings commonly used for flight in bee colonies are not seen in them, but are replaced by a cylindrical organ located at the tail.

The powerful muscles squirm rapidly on the surface, and you can vaguely see the light brewing in the organs.

But they all looked at the floating trading station and turned a blind eye to the threat of the Black Fleet.

The remaining pheromones after the disintegration of the main brain are still affecting them, leaving a final command before they are about to lose their utility.

——Destroy the trading station.

The tail organs of the giant flying ants suddenly emitted dazzling light, absorbing a large number of particles floating around in this space, and quickly converting them into propulsion power.

The organisms seemed to have engines, and powerful jets gushed out of the cylindrical organ, causing them to crash into the trading station at extremely high speed.

The just hardened stratum corneum on the body surface also slowly cracked into five petals at this moment, like a rotor, causing giant flying ants to rotate at high speed, stabilizing their flight trajectory.

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

The remaining guard fleet reacted and began to intercept as much as possible.

Explosions produced by various weapons are rising one after another in this interstellar space, but the total number of bees is not enough.

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

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

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

Unfortunately, the Black Fleet moved again.
