Chapter 1505

Six days

For a full six days, they not only failed to find any trace of Lin An, they weren't even sure whether Lin An was in North America at all!

Six days of time!

Even the Annihilation Overlord dares not imagine what Lin An has become now!

You should know, their planet was blown to pieces by Lin An alive, and that only took this long!

The Alien Species Emperor's brain is still stuffed in Lin An's ring!

The Annihilation Overlord curses wildly in his heart; he really doesn't know why he has to cooperate with this bunch of idiots, morons, trash, cowards!

He should have realized; thinking that these idiots have still been fleeing for this long, they've long become numb like stones in a cesspool, stupid to the point of being hopeless.

It seemed he felt the Annihilation Overlord's murderous gaze; the giant face in the sky furrowed its brows slightly and spoke slowly in a lethargic tone:

"Annihilation Overlord, we have already searched as hard as we could according to your demands."

"We have dispatched over three hundred Third Stage beings; isn't that enough?"

"You should know, if it weren't for better control of human development, many of our people would actually be unwilling to descend onto humans. Doing that, they wouldn't live long."

"As for your demand for a Fourth Stage Descent…"

"Frankly speaking, is that even necessary? You said Lin An has lost all combat power; he might die any second."

"The forces we can mobilize in North America are just this much; my specially appointed agent died earlier, and now a newly emerged human is causing us considerable trouble."

The giant face's eyes flashed with dissatisfaction.

Unlike the way these Alien Species occupy humans through Descent, they are more like possession.

Although that method of the Alien Species can control large numbers of humans in a short time and quickly erupt with combat power, it also means that the fused Alien Species become humans.

Well… then what's the point of fleeing?

One still has to accept system missions, and still has to face the Apocalypse.

Not to mention hiding in dungeons for a long time; just not receiving a punishment mission is already not bad.

Therefore, aside from being startled by the intelligence the Annihilation Overlord gave them at first and feeling tense for a day or two, afterward they actually didn't care much anymore—or rather, even if they wanted to care, they couldn't.

The contract has been signed; they've put in effort, reaped the benefits, and if they can find Lin An early they will, otherwise they'll just forget about it.

Anyway, the Alien Species Emperor will also descend, so what big problem could possibly arise?

Under this mindset, they are even less likely to risk being discovered by the system and go all-out.

Descend Fourth Stage? Mobilize everyone, drag a net across the globe?

What a joke!

Doing that is practically courting death! With such a huge cost, not a single person among them would agree!

His expression was icy cold.

The Annihilation Overlord looked at the giant face with an utterly indifferent expression, even feeling as if he had swallowed his own giant face; the anger in his heart had turned into deep helplessness and sorrow.

That's right… the idiot is him.

During these days of cooperation, he has deeply realized why all civilizations look down on fugitives.

These idiots have become sluggish, fearful of death to the extreme.

The so-called search for Lin An merely consists of letting a few possessed fugitives fly around everywhere, sensing whether there is any trace of Lin An's aura! And the most "diligent" search effort is just a few fugitives holding the beads he gave them, circling the spot where Lin An first made his move twice.

Then… uh, they issued a few orders to look for Asians, and then that was it!

In this, in this…

He clenched his fists tightly.

Gao Yan, just thinking that these fugitives, while searching, were even afraid of encountering mutant attacks and avoided some places! Upon realizing this, he felt he was about to go mad with anger.

"Annihilation Overlord, I can understand your fear of being blamed by the Sovereign, but we have already done our best."

"But I'm actually quite curious—why don't you search yourself? Believe me, with your strength, scanning the entire North American continent quickly would be a piece of cake."

"Don't worry, this threat from Lin An is trivial compared to a real crisis. You've experienced too little…"

The slow‑risen giant face, after putting in a day's "effort" and then starting to slack off, gave a light chuckle, and a flicker of contempt for the Annihilation Overlord flashed in its eyes.

Making a mountain out of a molehill.

Aside from being somewhat shocked at first hearing of Lin An's power surge, upon further thought it's not a big deal.

Going from Fourth Stage advanced to Fourth Stage Peak isn't that simple, let alone Fifth Stage.

Moreover, after careful consideration they think Lin An is unlikely to be able to absorb Faith Power. That stuff, even after they've absorbed it for so many years with little effect, taking too much will kill you.

In their internal discussions, they only felt that the Alien Species civilization is too young, having never witnessed any major scene.

Heh.

They are people who have even participated in the extinction of civilizations, while in their eyes the Alien Species civilization is nothing more than a newborn still clutching a bit of vigor.

Hearing the fugitives' speech, which even carried some disdain mixed with his own tension, Gao Yan's facial muscles twitched, and suddenly he felt a strong sense of sorrow and bewilderment.

To be honest, when Lin An blew up their planet, he had never felt this desperate.

Thanks to these fugitives, he understood what it means that pig teammates are scarier than any enemy.

Haven't seen a big scene?

Three hundred Third Stage beings is all they can muster?

Hehe..

In order to kill Lin An, the number of dead Third Stage beings is probably in the tens of millions; their corpses could stretch from Earth to the Moon and back again, damn it!!

No longer wanting to argue with these idiots, the Annihilation Overlord took a deep breath and slowly clenched his fists.

There's no way around it; things have come to this, he really can't drag it out any longer!

Relying on this bunch of trash, he'd be better off just running now!

Before, he had always been wary of sending his own subordinates, the Alien Species, to look for Lin An; if even a few died, he really wouldn't be able to use any of his power!

But looking at it now, he must send out the Alien Species!

Moreover... these are not enough!

Perhaps he also needs to go find those Mutants to negotiate!

He knows that the previous Alien Species had cooperated with the wise ones among the Mutants!

Damn it! Even that group of Zombies is more reliable than this group of fugitives!

With that thought, the Annihilator Overlord simply gave the giant face a cold glance, then without hesitation flew off to seek the several auras he had sensed earlier!

A few seconds later, seeing the Annihilator Overlord angrily depart, behind the giant face, a small speck of a sheep face suddenly appeared.

"Lord Keliusi, I always feel that the Annihilator's faction values Lin An too highly?"

"Could it be that this guy is really dangerous? After all, Lin An earlier really instantly defeated one of our Fourth Stage; this strength is not to be underestimated..."

There is some worry, some doubt, and the Annihilator Overlord's urgency.

The sheep face does not think itself stupid; it's just that from their perspective, there are more things to consider.

"It's fine, there won't be any problems."

"Heh, if Lin An really had the exaggeration the Annihilator initially claimed, why wouldn't he go himself?"

"Afraid of the Sovereign's blame, so they want our help; afraid of Lin An's strength surging again, so they demand our full Descent."

A snort of laughter, a flash of wisdom gleamed in the giant face's eyes.

In his view, the Annihilator Overlord is more like acting!

Perhaps, even the existence that instantly killed their companion earlier might not be Lin An!

It doesn't matter anyway; they've already reaped the benefits, and if there really is danger, that's a headache for the Alien Species Emperor. Want them all to Descent? Want them to fight desperately?

What a joke... they never did this even when their civilization was exterminated!

Just to be cautious, the giant face thought it over and still added a sentence leisurely:

"If we're looking for a person, let's increase the effort a bit. If we do find them, as the Annihilator said, Lin An stole a large amount of resources; then finding them would also be a good thing."

"Mobilize all forces under our control; if we detect any abnormality, we'll send a Third Rank over."

"In that case..."

"If there's any problem, even if they die, we won't feel bad."
