Chapter 375: Laying a Trap

At this point, Adam had already found a safe location to bunker down in.

The chief warden had already been planning this riot for a long time, so if he wanted to survive along with Mole and Armadillo, then the only option was to completely destroy the Desert Gang.

After all, the Desert Gang was the lapdog of the chief warden.

However...

As expected, the other factions are still waiting and watching.

Through his telegnosis, Adam could sense that the riot was nearing its climax, but the Asian Gang and the Radiation Gang were still displaying no intention of getting involved.

Adam knew what they were thinking. For them, they could only afford to get involved if victory could be assured, and what Adam had to do right now was to turn the tide of the battle against the Desert Gang\'s favor.

As long as he didn\'t get swarmed by too many people at once, his neuron transmitter would ensure that he was all but invincible. If he could chip away at the Desert Gang\'s forces, the tide of the battle would be turned, particularly if he could take down some of the Desert Gang\'s elite members.

……

After a long period of hesitation, Ross finally made his decision, squeezing his way through the crowd. Charlie had just killed an opposing faction member, and with victory all but assured, he was feeling a little more relaxed.

The sensitivity of one\'s telegnosis would inevitably decrease while in a relaxed state, but even so, he could still tell that something wasn\'t quite right about Ross.

"What are you doing here? Aren\'t you always hiding at the back when things like this happen?"

Charlie was well aware of Ross\'s cowardly personality, but he liked to keep Ross around because he was a smart man who could be entrusted with certain tasks that were beyond the capabilities of his peers.

"I just received news that someone spotted Adam in that direction."

A serious look immediately appeared on Charlie\'s face upon hearing this. Their primary mission was to kill Adam, so his immediate thought was to lead his main forces to hunt Adam down.

"Is the information source reliable?"

"Yes."

"Alright, then let\'s get going."

Charlie picked up a crossbow and prepared to instruct the other Desert Gang members to depart.

Ross\'s heart jolted slightly upon seeing this.

If the entirety of the Desert Gang\'s main forces were to go after Adam, then that would fail to comply with Adam\'s request. Furthermore, with these crossbows thrown into the mix, Adam most likely wasn\'t going to survive the ordeal.

"Do we really need that many people to catch a single person, Boss? He\'s on his own, we can just send a small team of men after him."

"He\'s our main target for this operation..."

"But what\'s going to happen here if we take too many people with us?"

Right as Ross was raising this concern, Mole\'s furious voice rang out from the other end of the dark corridor.

"Don\'t let me get out there, you spineless bastards! I\'ll chop off all of your heads and use them as soccer balls!"

"Come fight us without weapons!"

"They wouldn\'t dare! They\'re no match for us without their weapons!"

"When we get out there, all of you are going to die!"

The other Survival of the Fittest faction members were also beginning to yell provocative insults, and Charlie was forced to reconsider upon hearing this.

While it was true that the main mission assigned to them by the head warden was to kill Adam, if he didn\'t wipe out the Survival of the Fittest faction, then there would be no end to the trouble to come.

Prior to the conclusion of the power outage, these were the people who were going to pose the biggest threat to his faction.

Killing Adam was something that he was doing for the chief warden, while wiping out the Survival of the Fittest faction was something that he was doing for himself, and the choice was obvious.

"Alright, then take some people with you and bring Adam back, dead or alive."

"You want me to go after him?"

"What are you so afraid of? He\'s just a single person!"

Charlie gave Ross a hard shove as he spoke, and the latter stumbled a couple of steps before scurrying away.

After returning to the outskirts of the battlefield, Ross took a moment to consider how to proceed, then followed Adam\'s instructions, picking out around 30 people to take with him.

He made sure to be as self-serving as possible with his choices, picking out only the people that he was on bad terms with or in direct competition against.

"Will, Ken, come with me, I need your help with something."

"Who the fuck do you think you are? We\'re with Spud!"

There were naturally many branches in a prison faction, and as a mid-tier leader in the Desert Gang, Ross wasn\'t able to just call on anyone that he pleased.

"Boss Charlie told me to gather people for an important task. You can choose not to go if you want, but you\'ll be held responsible for the consequences of your refusal to cooperate."

"Really?"

The men that Ross had called upon were a little suspicious, and they turned to search for Charlie, but the area was too dimly lit for them to see anything.

However, as a high-level adapter, Charlie had always been the undisputed leader in the Desert Gang with absolute authority, so no one dared to risk being accused of insubordination against him.

"You\'re a dead man if you\'re lying to us."

"If I go around relaying false orders from Boss Charlie, he\'ll have me killed before you can even get to me," Ross said with a roll of his eyes, then called upon some more men until the quota was reached before leading them in the direction that Adam had departed in.

After some searching, they finally spotted Adam in a cell in a secluded corner of the prison.

Ross immediately drew to a halt at the sight of Adam, and everyone else stopped in their tracks as well.

"Over there?"

"Where?"

"There!"

Ross focused the beam of his flashlight onto Adam, who was curled up in a corner of the cell, looking as if he had been injured.

In order to make himself appear even more vulnerable and disoriented, Adam raised an arm to shield his eyes from the light.

"That looks like him!"

"He\'s on his own?"

"If he\'s on his own, then we have nothing to be afraid of! This is our chance to land a big fish!"

After confirming that the person in the cell was indeed Adam, the 30 or so Desert Gang members immediately became very excited. They didn\'t know exactly why Adam was a primary target, but they knew that if they could take Adam to Charlie, then they would undoubtedly receive promotions in the gang.

However, they certainly couldn\'t allow Ross to take all the credit, and one of them immediately grabbed him by the collar as he declared, "Let me make this clear: you can\'t take the credit for this all for yourself!"

"Of course. I was the one who found him, but I\'m not the one who\'s going to capture him. You get my drift?" Ross asked with a meaningful smile.

"Hell yeah! We\'ll be the ones to capture him!"

The Desert Gang members were far from intelligent, and all of them quickly rushed into the cell, eager to get their hands on the prize.

Ross watched as all of the Desert Gang members piled into the confined cell like a bunch of cockroaches swarming onto the morsel of food, but before they could pounce on Adam, all of them were instantly rooted to the spot.

After that, they began to fall one after another at an alarming rate.

It only took around a second for each person to be killed, and everyone was dead in only roughly half a minute. The incredible speed at which Adam was able to kill these men made Ross even more terrified.

He was quite cowardly to begin with, and he was at a loss for what to do at the sight of all of the bodies in the cell. He was only snapped back to reality by the sound of Adam\'s voice.

"Bring more people to me! This isn\'t enough!"

"Ah, yes! I\'ll go right away!"

Ross hurriedly turned and ran away into the darkness.
