Hunter of Immortals

Chapter 376: Attacked from Three Sides

After returning to the battlefield, Ross took a moment to compose himself, then squeezed his way through the crowd to approach Charlie once again.

"Boss, we need reinforcements!"

"What?" Charlie turned around with a bewildered expression. "Didn\'t you say he\'s on his own?"

"I don\'t know what happened, it seems like there\'s an ambush over there."

"Are all of the people you took with you dead?"

"No, but we need reinforcements!"

Charlie nodded in response, but didn\'t say anything. He looked into Ross\'s eyes, and his telegnosis told him that Ross wasn\'t lying.

The panic and fear in his eyes were genuine, and he really did need more reinforcements. It was also true that the people he had taken with him weren\'t dead as they had only suffered psychic death and not physical death.

"I can tell you\'re not lying, but I can\'t help but feel like something isn\'t quite right."

Charlie was scrutinizing Ross intently as he stepped forward, preparing to examine Ross\'s memories.

Right at this moment, the Survival of the Fittest faction members were finally sick of being dominated, and they rushed out of the corridor.

During the time they had been bunkering down in their cells, they had crafted some makeshift shields out of bed slats, and the shield-bearers positioned themselves next to one another to form a wall, then began to charge forward.

"Stop them!"

Charlie was forced to hurriedly direct his attention back to the battle, thereby letting Ross off the hook.

The Survival of the Fittest faction was a major faction that had once reigned supreme over another area of the prison, and all of its members were physical specimens. If it weren\'t for the weapons and numbers advantage that the Desert Gang had, they would\'ve been no match for the Survival of the Fittest faction.

Hence, this retaliative charge could spell extremely bad news for the Desert Gang if they weren\'t careful.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ross hurriedly squeezed his way out of the crowd, and he fell into deep thought as he watched the unfolding battle. He had been a little shaken upon meeting Adam earlier, but now that he had had a chance to calm down, he had identified a vital problem, which was that adapters were capable of examining one\'s memories!

Ross had never had his cover blown because Charlie hadn\'t paid much attention to him, but things were different now. If it weren\'t for that timely charge made by the Survival of the Fittest faction, there was a very good chance that he would\'ve already been dead at this point.

With that in mind, a conclusion instantly took form in Ross\'s mind: Charlie had to die!

Essentially, only one of them could survive this ordeal.

After making up his mind, Ross decided that he had to fully commit himself to Adam\'s camp. He raised his flashlight to inspect his surroundings, and he discovered that even though the ongoing battle was quite fierce, many of the Desert Gang members on the outside were unable to squeeze through the narrow corridor. As a result, there were many bystanders who weren\'t doing anything.

Upon making this observation, Ross hatched a plan.

"Hey, you there, come with me."

"You, you, and you, get over here as well."

Using the same method as before, Ross quickly assembled a team out of the Desert Gang members at the back of the group.

After a quick count to ensure that he had assembled a team of roughly 30 members once again, Ross said, "Boss Charlie is asking you to come with me to hunt down our primary target."

"But we need more people here to deal with the opposing faction!"

"Those guys aren\'t gonna be able to do anything, they don\'t even have any proper weapons. What we\'re doing is more important." In order to quell all opposition, Ross brought up Charlie once again. "These are instructions from Boss Charlie himself. If anything happens, I\'ll take responsibility."

"Didn\'t you already take some people with you just now?"

"Things aren\'t going according to plan over there, so I had to come back to get reinforcements."

Ross was a leader in the Desert Gang to begin with, and he was using Charlie to exert pressure on his fellow Desert Gang members, so they quickly folded to his demands and departed with him.

In the wake of their departure, the Desert Gang\'s forces were looking far less formidable.

The Desert Gang did have a numbers advantage over the opposing faction, but Ross had led around 60 to 70 of its members away to be killed by Adam.

In addition to that, the first team of Desert Gang members that Adam had disposed of had also consisted of roughly 30 men, so overall, he had reduced the Desert Gang\'s numbers by roughly 100 men.

This was sending a signal to the other two factions.

Thanks to their informants, the Asian Gang was quickly able to detect that something wasn\'t quite right.

"The Desert Gang\'s members seemed to be getting killed off faster than expected, and they\'re also quite spread out."

"It seems like the retaliation from the Survival of the Fittest faction is quite fierce. They\'re definitely putting up more resistance than I thought they would."

Li Tie was seated on his bed, and as he looked at all of the expectant faces around him, he finally made a decision.

"Let\'s go!"

The surrounding Asian Gang members were extremely excited to hear this, and this excitement soon reached another part of the prison as well.

……

"The Asian Gang is on the move!"

It didn\'t take long for the Radiation Gang to receive wind of what was happening.

"Have they joined the battle?"

"No, but they\'ve cut off the Desert Gang\'s retreat path, and all of them are armed as well. What should we do?"

"Let\'s get going as well," Miller said as his hands balled up into tight fists. "It\'s time for the food in the prison to be redistributed in our favor. Our brothers have been starving for far too long!"

……

The second team led by Ross was also one that had just the right number of men.

A team of around 30 was bordering on the maximum range of the neuron transmitter, but this time, there were a couple of psychic deviants among the team of Desert Gang members, so it took a little longer than last time for Adam to take care of them.

Even so, given Adam\'s current level of power, he was still able to make short work of the team of Desert Gang members.

Once all of them had met their demise, he opened his eyes to find that Ross was still standing outside the cell.

He then looked down at the bodies around him, and after a moment of contemplation, he picked up a knife from the ground before plunging it into the vital regions of the Desert Gang members one after another.

The cell was quite small to begin with, and it didn\'t take long before the ground in the cell was entirely covered in blood. The blood reached all the way up to the back of Adam\'s feet, resulting in a rather uncomfortable sticky sensation.

However, he continued to persevere, inflicting lethal wounds onto the bodies of all of the Desert Gang members so that the southern congress wouldn\'t have any evidence that they had been killed in a psychic attack.

With each slash or stab, he would slit a gang member\'s throat, or pierce one through the heart, and blood spurted out of the wounds.

Some of the blood splashed Adam on the face, some of it splattered onto his body, and his feet were submerged in the rest.

In the beginning, this was something that Adam felt a little uncomfortable with, but as he continued on his killing spree, the sense of discomfort gradually turned to numbness, then transformed into a warped sense of pleasure.

At this moment, Adam\'s entire body was drenched in blood, and his eyes were completely cold and devoid of emotion. Even though he wasn\'t in the psychic world, he already resembled a demonic anomaly.

As he emerged from the cell and appeared before Ross, the latter couldn\'t help but shudder in fear.

"Bring some more people to me."

"I can\'t! Charlie is already beginning to suspect me. If I go back now, I\'ll be dead for sure! I..."

"Get \'em!"

"Don\'t let them get away!"

"Make sure they can\'t retreat!"

……

All of a sudden, Adam raised a hand to cut Ross off. He could hear a commotion ringing out in the distance, and he took Ross\'s flashlight before shining it in the direction that the sound was coming from.

Guided by the source of the commotion, Adam returned to the battlefield between the Desert Gang and the Survival of the Fittest faction, except at this point, the battle no longer just involved those two factions.

The situation had become even more chaotic than when he had departed from the battlefield earlier as the Asian Gang and the Radiation Gang had also entered the fray.

The Desert Gang had a weapons and numbers advantage, but with the other three factions attacking all at once, the situation had become extremely perilous.

In particular, some of the mutants from the Radiation Gang were extremely formidable fighters, and they were exerting immense pressure on the Desert Gang\'s ranks.

Finally!

Adam was finally able to heave a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

All of his planning had finally paid off.

The chief warden wanted to kill him, and theoretically speaking, with the Desert Gang working with the wardens, there should\'ve been no way for Adam to survive this ordeal. However, Adam was able to save himself thanks to Thilan and the existing conflict between the factions in the prison.

Now that all of the factions had gotten involved, Adam was essentially untouchable.
