Zerg: After being rescued by the Major General, I pledged myself to him.

1347 stars.

Sainz piloted his mech and fired a shot at a black combat mech.

"Lanze, you guessed right, those bastards from the Flame Fire Society really are hiding on Star 1347."

This is an abandoned mining valley.

Hidden deep in the mountains and forests.

Most of the native Zerg on planet 1347 live in old urban areas.

This mine was mined by the Zerg long before the planet's energy was exhausted, but the mineral resources have been depleted over the years.

Therefore, no Zerg would go to this godforsaken place.

After Lanze and Sainz arrived at Star 1347, they did not rush to search everywhere. Instead, they sent some female insects to disguise themselves and infiltrate the main urban areas where insect populations gathered.

With so many members, the Flame Society can't possibly go without food and drink and hide anywhere; they all need to come out and buy supplies.

On garbage planets like this, the rights to transport supplies are controlled by a few local power brokers.

Lanze sent insects to watch them, and soon enough, they discovered some traces of a transaction.

They followed them and discovered this abandoned mine.

In the distance, beside the dilapidated mine shafts, there are still remnants of mining machinery, and rows of mine buildings have been converted into laboratories.

The rumbling sounds of mining echoed through the mountains and forests. This was originally an energy mine, but although it had been depleted and mining had ceased, some small amounts of energy stones could still be found.

This is also an important reason why the Flame Fire Society chose this place as its base.

Lanze and Sainz led the female mechs to surround the mine.

The Flame Society quickly discovered them as well.

To Lanze's surprise, these female insects also possessed mechs.

Mechs are military supplies.

Only female military personnel and military academy students are eligible to purchase mechs, and each mech has a unique serial number that can be used to trace its production origin and purchaser.

Some underground research institutes can also find a few second-hand mechs that have been repaired and modified from the black market, but the mechs of the Yanhuo Society are clearly not from the black market.

These mechs are all the same model, and they are almost all newly developed. There are no signs of wear, damage or repair on the surface of the mechs, so they should be brand new.

"Damn, the Flame Society must have connections with the military, otherwise how could they get so many good mechs? I've been a major general for years and I still can't afford one of these."

Sainz thought he could finish the task quickly, but he found that the mission was actually quite tricky.

Lanze maneuvered his mech to dodge an enemy laser cannon, then aimed and fired. An energy blast pierced the enemy mech's chest, causing it to sway a few times before collapsing with a crash.

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and finish this, I'll send you one when we get back."

Sainz was pleased.

"Okay, you said it!"

The Flame Society didn't have many mech warriors, and Lanze and Sainz worked together to quickly take down all the mechs.

The remaining members of the Flame Society were also quickly captured.

How many male insects are there here?

"Major General Lan, there are more than twenty of them, all locked up in the experimental building. Several of the male insects are in very poor condition and need immediate treatment."

Lanze took the list of male insects he had found.

They discovered that the five male insects from the previously missing tourist spaceship were also inside, along with several lower-level male insects that had been captured from a third-class permanent planet.

After reviewing the list, Lanze discovered that some missing male insects were not on it.

"Interrogate those female insects and find out the whereabouts of the other accomplices."

The interrogation results came out quickly.

This mine is indeed the place where Yanhuo Society conducts pheromone experiments, but unfortunately, apart from the kidnapped male insects, the others here are just ordinary female insects and researchers guarding it.

They failed to capture any key members of the Yanhuo Society.

The female insect in charge of management said that the other insects had gone to various planets to catch male insects, and their research had reached a critical moment, requiring a lot of male insect pheromones.

Of the male insects captured, some died due to excessive use of pheromones and prolonged fear, leaving only these twenty-odd surviving males.

So the other insects went off to find more males.

Upon hearing this, Lan Ze recalled what Yan Mo had told him about An Qing's disappearance and decided to wait here for the other members of the Yan Huo Society to walk into his trap.

"Clean this place up and restore it to its original state. Send some female military insects disguised as researchers and guard female insects. We'll wait for those female insects that went out to kidnap male insects to return."

After making the arrangements, Lanze and Sainz took off their mechs and hid in the mountains.

Lan Ze glanced at his personal terminal and saw that Yan Mo had sent him a message.

Seeing Lanze looking at the personal terminal, Sainz smiled and asked, "What's wrong? Chatting with Lord Yanmo?"

"Um."

Lan Ze replied casually.

"He said that a group of members of the Flame Society kidnapped male insects from underground bars on Changyu Star. One of his friends was on Changyu Star and encountered those female insects. He disguised himself as a female insect and followed them."

Sainz gaped in astonishment.

"Good heavens! Which male insect is so powerful that he dares to disguise himself as a female and deal with these vicious kidnappers? If he is discovered, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Lan Ze recalled that Yan Mo had mentioned that An Qing seemed to have a crush on Saines, so he said, "It's the male insect from the An family."

Sainz was taken aback: "The An family? The An family from the Marshal's powerful lord?"

Lanze nodded, noticing that Sainz's expression seemed a bit off, and wondered if they knew each other.

He added, "Yes, An Qing, the second young master of the An family, is a D-grade male insect."

"Anqing?"

Sainz asked a question in return, and although his expression changed very slightly, Lanze could tell that Sainz was indeed relieved.

Lan Ze frowned: "Who do you think it is?"

Sainz stiffened slightly, then laughed and said, "Who do you think it is? I've only ever heard of an A-rank male insect in the Marshal's Mansion, but I've never heard of another male insect."

Lanze's expression turned cold; he noticed that something was wrong with Sainz.

Sainz is usually easygoing, but he is actually very sensitive.

He likes to laugh, often laughing heartily, which makes him seem very generous. However, when he tries to hide something, his smile becomes awkward.

Lanze couldn't think of anything Sainz would deliberately hide from him.

He thought about what he had just said.

"Anjia's male insect" could also be Anluo.

When Lanze mentioned An Qing, Sainz's expression wasn't as worried as before, which was very strange.

So, Sainz thought the male insect he was referring to was Anlo?

Is Sainz worried about Anlo?

Yanmo previously said that Sainz might have a white moonlight male insect in his heart, and that male insect is Anluo?

Lan Ze thought for a moment, then asked directly, "You think it's An Luo? Do you know An Luo?"

"How could I possibly know such a noble male insect as Lord Anluo?"

Sainz said stiffly.

Lanze looked coldly at Sainz: "Why don't you go look in the mirror and see how stiff your expression is?"
