Rodriguez thought that the search would only last another six hours, but when the six hours were up, the remaining ten of them seemed to have vanished into thin air, and were impossible to find.

If they were dead, the monitor would be alerted to that fact. However, these ten people were still obviously alive.

The other generals who were present were more interested in Rodriguez’s reaction. They had such an advantage in numbers. If there were still unable to find these few members, Aslan would be considered to have suffered a setback.

Meng Ao was also sweating for Lear and Zhang Shan. Honestly, Zhang Shan’s performance was far from satisfactory, and although he had some inborn talent and genius, his training had started too late. His physical state was not comparable to the others, which could be the biggest pitfall for the Solar System team. However… Zhang Shan had still not been caught, yet Meng Ao had thought that he would be the first.

The other members had been waiting for such a long time, and could not help but chat. They couldn’t help but marvel at the place where they had been hiding. There were all sorts of places, but they had all been caught in the end, as Aslan was too well prepared.

They were truly clueless on where these ten of them could be hiding.

Back to the present, Zhang Shan’s first reaction to seeing the insects was that he was finished. With his current pathetic fighting strength, he was definitely not a match for the bugs. Would his be how he died?

Zhang Shan could feel his heart beating rapidly and his pupils dilating. Once the bugs crawled over, he would definitely be dead. However, the more desperate the situation, the clearer his mind was.

He looked at the wall spider zergling in front of him, and a bold idea flashed in his mind.

There was an analysis of the Zerg in an anatomy class before, and especially on these types of low-ranking zerglings. They had a large space in their abdominal cavity, which was sufficient to hide a person.

At this moment, Zhang Shan couldn’t bother too much, and activated his Ability X, disappearing in an instant.

But when his body reappeared…. Damn, he was stuck, hanging just under the cliff. This was simply courting death.

Zhang Shan took a deep breath. This was a matter of life and death. One more time!

The second spatial movement, and Zhang Shan’s figure once again disappeared. This time, the bugs had also crowded around, but there were only a few of them, and two of them dragged the wall spider zergling away.

Zhang Shan’s little heart was furiously beating away. It was pitch black, with an indescribably disgusting stench. However, Zhang Shan did not dare to make a single movement. Luckily for him, the mouth of the wall spider zergling was slightly ajar, preventing him from suffocating to death.

Zhang Shan followed the mountain path and was rolling all over the place, so much so that his internal organs were about to turned inside out. Where in the world was he heading to?

At this time, the worms were dragging various kinds of “food” into the cave. Some of them looked like ends, and the others looked like the corpses of some low-ranking bugs and a few other hunted animals. After an unknown amount of time, and with a loud crash, Zhang Shan felt himself being thrown onto an unknown surface, and then the surroundings became silent.

Zhang Shan did not dare to move, and simply remained hiding until the end of time.

At this juncture, if they still had not been caught, their hiding place would probably be rather extreme.

Rodriguez issued another order, to perform a B-level search, which had signified that the Aslanian army had not done their best previously.

Rodriguez had a slight smile on his face. This was getting interesting. He truly wanted to see who would still be able to avoid this round of searches.

Everyone was waiting in anticipation. Who would be the first to be caught amongst these ten monsters?

In the half hour of performing a B-level search, one person was finally caught.

It was Ghana Star’s Leandre. This Naga had an extraordinary ability to integrate itself with nature, and had hidden himself within a tree trunk. When the soldiers caught him, they almost couldn’t believe it. The hard Catalan Iron Tree was dug by him, and it was even dug in from the roots up. If not for the highest level of lifeform detection that they had used, it would have been overlooked with certainty. However, for this round of searches, any small trail would be investigated thoroughly.

When Leandre returned to the base, he was given a loud cheer by the Ghana team members, and his snake-like eyes also shone with pride. He had thought he would be the last one to be caught, but when he learned that there were still nine people, he was stunned.

Who else would be more familiar with nature than the Naga?

Another half an hour passed, and the remaining nine were still missing. The detection of all vital signs had been ineffective, and it seemed as though these nine had all vanished.

Rodriguez did not expect that they would be so embarrassed. There were only two possibilities. One was that someone had broken through the line of defense and had gone outside the cordon, and the other was that they were hiding inside a bugs’ nest.

For ordinary people, it may be impossible, but for these kids, that might not necessarily be the case.

“Activate the A class search!”

“Yes, General!”

The soldiers were also beginning to go insane. How long had it been? Yet they still had not managed to catch them all? Aslan’s iron troops began to madly sweep the area, and did not seem to be too particular with the method.

It was impossible to break through the energy barrier quietly, but near the barrier?

They rushed over like a tide, and it turned out that there was a big discovery. Silver Snake Republic’s Kong Zhan and Gemini Galaxy’s Ao Ziwei had been found. Both of them had unique Ability Xs, and borrowed the magnetic field from the energy shield to interfere with the search instruments’ functions. However, they were still caught.

But both of them had achieved glory for their own countries.

There were still seven remaining.

An A-level search was performed, and an unanticipated search was being made outside the magnetic field. However, the search outside was performed by other troops. Rodriguez, although the border did not have any traces of an attack, since it was possible for others to pass by underneath it, perhaps it was also possible for some to silently pass through it directly?

They had to be aware, as this was Atlantis’ team captain. Their understanding of technology was far superior to that of humanity. Hence, they had to be prepared for all circumstances.

Even the soldiers who gave out the orders were shocked. To tell the truth, they did not believe that there were people could pass through the magnetic field silently.

The later it was, the more outrageous the methods would be. Achilles and the rest couldn’t help but wonder where had Zhang Shan and Lear hidden themselves.

“Lear may indeed have a trick or two hidden, but where could Zhang Shan be? His injury hasn’t even been fully healed.” Lie Xin couldn’t help but see Zhang Shan in another light. Lear’s name could perhaps be left up there, but where could Zhang Shan be hiding?

“Command the army to start sweeping all the bugs’ nests according to the area, regardless of size, but not to attack!”

Rodriguez issued a further order. Under a two-pronged approach, with just the magnetic bombs, the impact on these top players would not be too significant. Hence, it was necessary to carry out a comprehensive sweep of the nests. The meaning was clear for all to see, utilizing the harassment of the bugs’ nests in order to search for problems within it.

It was to force the people inside to a combat state. Once they were in combat, the life signs would then be detectable by the instruments.

As soon as this trick was used, another four participants had been found. Aslan’s Aurora and Oz had used some unknown method to control the brains of the bugs, and had hidden themselves in the deepest layer. A normal aggravation would not be able to affect them, but under a strong threat, all the Zerg would be mobilized, and the Queen Zerg had quickly found the irregularity in the minds, and started its counterattack. Aurora and Oz could also be considered lucky, as both of them managed to slaughter their way out.

Another one of them was Manalasuo’s Vincent. This guy had surprisingly hidden in the initial nest that had been destroyed by the military. When the soldiers entered, he was sitting on the pile of bugs and eating their meat, showing off his cruel character.

Yet another three were found. These three had also thought that they were the last ones to be found, but after reaching the base, there were still four more that had not been caught.

Akerlof smiled. “Rodriguez, what is going on? It’s been almost ten hours.”

Rodriguez’s gaze was still relatively calm. “The position of Arbiter’s Olivios has been determined, but this kid…”

Everyone was stunned when they heard it. He had kidnapped the Queen Zerg?

What level was this guy at?

Inside a large nest, the Queen Zerg was crawling on the floor like a dog. Not too far away seated a young man, a faint, blood red color in his eyes, and a bunch of bugs had crowded at the door, not daring to enter.

The army was attacking outside, but the resistance of the bugs was not in sync, and they refused to go out. This had obviously violated the habits of the bugs, and the only possibility was that the Queen Zerg was being threatened.

Who would have thought that the bugs had instead become his protection? The army had spent a full three hours before breaching this nest. Once they had entered, Olivios simply chopped up the Queen Zerg before casually leaving. The Aslanian troops hurriedly made way for him, completely suppressed by his aura.

Known as the Slaughterer of Thousands, Arbiter’s Undying Warrior Olivios. Any normal soldier who got close would immediately feel suffocated.

Even so, Olivios was still captured.

Now for the remaining three. Atlantis’ Bordia… Solar System’s Lear and Zhang Shan.

All of their attention was on the Solar System. Atlantis’ Bordia was still Atlantis’ team captain, so it was not surprising that he had such a performance. As for the Solar System, there were still two of them…

Was Aslan going easy on them?

That couldn’t be right, they had even captured their own members. There was no need to go to such an extent for others.

However…

“Reporting. General, we found the whereabouts of Bordia outside the magnetic field,” some soldiers reported.

Everyone who had heard it couldn’t help but gasp in surprise. The Atlanteans were truly incredible, able to silently bypass the defense of the magnetic field. This was likely due to a much better understanding of energy, and it was something that they themselves were unaware of. However, once their traces had been found by the military, it would be impossible to escape. Outside the cordon, they had even more tricks up their sleeves.

But the two from Earth…

“Increase the detection of living things. Even if it’s only a mouse, everything must be dug out!”

Rodriguez couldn’t help but frown. According to his inference, there was no other way. Under the life detector, the bugs had already been swept once, and all the problematic bugs’ nests had already been searched. The execution of the soldiers had been stellar; if there was even a slight issue, they would even slaughter an entire bugs’ nest in order to look for the person.

Now that there were no problems with the nests, only the underground was left. Perhaps there were people able to reduce themselves into a hibernating state, just like some animals.

They had to admit that Rodriguez was really accurate, and had indeed guessed correctly.

Lear was currently underground. He was not breathing, and his whole body was similar to that of one in suspended animation. Using an expression from Earth, this was the state of a turtle, and his heartbeat was at the minimum. The energy produced by him was no different to that of a gopher. This was the Heavenly King Arts, able to take advantage of the world’s numerous lifeforms.
