Protagonist:

Lin En

Lena

"There's one more thing, top secret — no third person can know besides you and me." Lena is a bug, so of course she can know.

Lin En lowered his voice, leaning in closer.

"Among the first batch of fleeing Beastman remnants, there are our people."

Among the several thousand Naruto remnants Yaduoduo took away, there are also one hundred and twenty gene-modified Half-Insect Beastmen, serving as inside agents.

Gus's eyes widened fiercely, his face showing an expression of something he dared not imagine.

"Th-this is true?"

"Of course it's true." Lin En nodded, a smile at the corner of his mouth.

"Those Green Skins were all made by me using special methods — absolutely loyal. They'll follow the other Green Skins back to Dolido, lurking beside Big Stomach Liang Ge Na."

In other words, any stir around Lianggenna, Lin En will learn through the Insect Swarm Will at the first moment.

"When the time comes, I'll notify you in advance — you just need to make defensive preparations."

Gus sucked in a sharp breath.

This is simply a stroke of genius!

With these moles, it's equivalent to planting a high-definition camera beside Lianggenna.

Enemy in the open, us in the dark — the advantage of information asymmetry on the battlefield goes without saying.

"Adult is wise!" Gus praised sincerely.

"With this intel, our odds of holding Kal II increase by at least thirty percent!"

"Don't get careless." Lin En shook his head.

"Lianggenna didn't become the strongest Green-skinned Warlord in the Calixis Star System for nothing."

"His Stew Pot can send Green Skins into a Green Skin Virus Rampage, doubling combat power — you must remember that."

"When the time comes, you must find a way to stop the enemy from boarding."

"I will." Gus said solemnly.

Lin En stood, extending his hand: "Alright, everything that needed explaining is done. Kal II is in your hands."

"I'll wrap up matters on Brevis as soon as possible, bring the repair fleet and reinforcements back — one month at most, I'll definitely return."

Gus also stood, gripping Lin En's hand tightly. His hand was strong, warm.

"Adult rest assured, I'll wait for your return."

When leaving the Captain's Quarters, Lin En didn't return to the Bridge.

He directly brought the Tearing Worm to the Mobile Shipyard.

The Mobile Shipyard at this moment was a scene of bustling activity.

Ground crew were doing final checks on three Turbulence-class Frigates, adding fuel, loading ammunition, debugging engines.

Navy soldiers in gray-white Uniforms lined up boarding the Warships — their faces showed not a trace of fear, only Ice Cold Determination.

The three frigates' engines had finished preheating, emitting a deep Roaring; blue tail flames jumped in the darkness, illuminating one young face after another.

"Adult, all preparations complete, ready to depart." The Lightning Frigate's captain saw Lin En approach and immediately saluted.

Lin En nodded, looking back.

Gus was standing not far from the Ship's Entrance, quietly watching him.

Behind him was Kal II, gradually lit by normal human lights.

Lin En waved at him.

Gus also waved hard.

No extra words — everything understood without speaking.

Lin En turned, boarding the Lightning Frigate.

With the captain's order, the frigate's Hatch slowly closed.

Three Turbulence-class Frigates slowly left the Ice Cold Port, accelerating into the pitch-black Universe.

Lin En stood at the Bridge's Porthole, watching the ever-smaller Kal II, and the Peak Obsidian's ever-blurrier silhouette.

Until they both became a single point of light in the Universe, finally disappearing into the darkness.

"Enter the Warp." Lin En withdrew his gaze, ordering in a deep voice.

"Yes, Adult! Activating Warp Engine!"

"Gellar Field activated, sacred energy flowing smoothly!"

"Navigator in position, Warp Torch light stable! Coordinates locked, Brevis orbit!"

"Three, two, one, Warp Jump!"

A slight but distinct Vibration came; space around the frigate began to violently Distort.

A massive crack, flickering with sickly purple and blood-red Radiance, opened in the pitch-black Universe.

On the other side of the crack lay endless Chaos and Madness.

Like a Demon's gaping maw, waiting for lost lambs to walk into the trap.

The three frigates entered the crack in succession, vanishing into the Depths of the Warp.

Sticky, multicolored Chaos energy tumbled in the Void, forming all manner of Strange shapes.

Countless hideous, distorted demonic faces flickered in the strange mist, emitting whispers that tempted the human heart.

They extended their claws, striking at the escort ship's shields, attempting to penetrate inside and devour the souls of everyone aboard.

But the moment they touched the Gellar Field, a cold and overbearing purple Shadow directly descended.

The souls that touched the purple Shadow instantly let out shrill cries of utter misery, then turned to ash and dissipated.

Warp travel speed is roughly ten-plus times that of Real Space.

The most common saying is that one day of Warp travel equals twelve days of travel in Real Space.

A Real Space journey that originally required three days and three nights takes only six hours to reach in the Warp.

But Warp travel is also one of the most dangerous things in the entire Galaxy.

Warp Storms may appear at any time, sweeping ships into unknown Spacetime, leaving them forever lost in Chaos.

At the same time, the corrosion of Chaos is everywhere; it distorts the human mind, amplifies human desires and fears, and even the most devout believers will fall and become claws of Chaos.

There are also countless Chaos pirates and demon Warbands roaming the Warp, searching for passing prey.

That messenger who came from Brevis to deliver the message earlier, being able to safely arrive at Kal II under such rampant Warp Storm conditions, truly had heaven-defying dog luck.

Of ten ships taking that route, at least nine will disappear forever in the Warp, and their deaths are bizarre in a thousand ways.

But everyone on the Lightning appeared abnormally calm.

Ordinary crew members each performed their duties, operating instruments in an orderly manner, without a trace of fear on their faces.

Because they knew, the Governor Sir's ship is absolutely the safest ship.

Lena Dongzhi stood in the center of the Bridge, eyes tightly closed, a faint purple radiance emanating from her whole body.

Since Lena Bai Lu was left behind on Kal II, Lena had no choice but to create a new avatar to serve as navigator.

Lena Dongzhi's appearance looked no different from an ordinary human female, but beneath her exaggerated Bronze Helmet lay a developed brain-like organ similar to the Genestealer Elder.

Her Bug Swarm Will can penetrate the layers of Warp mist, precisely locking onto Brevis's Coordinate, with absolutely not the slightest deviation.

Moreover, the escort ships possess not only the standard Imperial Gellar Field, but also the Bug Swarm Shadow released by Lena.

The Gellar Field can block most Chaos energy erosion, while the Bug Swarm Shadow forms an absolute "unsurpassable" wall.

The Bug Swarm Shadow can completely shield Warp connections, making Chaos whispers and demon temptations unable to penetrate into the ship interior.

More importantly, the Bug Swarm Shadow can completely hide the ship's emotional signals.

In the perception of Chaos pirates and demons, these three escort ships are like three clumps of non-existent air.

They fundamentally cannot discover the Fleet's existence.

"The Tyranids, indeed are the Galaxy's most perfect predators."

Lin En leaned back in the captain's chair, watching the rolling Chaos cloud layers outside the window, and couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
