Hunter of Immortals

Chapter 371: Commencement of the Operation

Chapter 371: Commencement of the Operation

Everything was progressing just as Adam had planned.

Adam was able to ensure everything was within his control not just because he had become increasingly more mature over time, but also because of the vital assistance that he was receiving from Thilan.

Thilan was an extremely competent investigator, and he was also situated deep in enemy ranks, so he was able to provide Adam with a great deal of information.

All of the information provided by Thilan was extremely vital, allowing Adam to better understand how the prison operated and even informing him of the plans of the chief warden and the Hosman Family.

Armed with this knowledge, he was able to plan far more effectively than he would've otherwise been capable of.

As the days passed, the tension in the prison was only becoming more and more palpable, and by Adam's estimates, the riot was most likely going to begin sometime in the next couple of days.

During this time, Adam had approached Miller once again, but the sly old fox still refused to say for sure whether he was going to get involved.

However, one thing that he did make clear to Adam was that he would intervene if it favored him to do so, but if no suitable opportunity arose, then he would continue to watch from the sidelines, and the Asian Gang had also given the same response.

The Asian Gang didn't have many members in the third area, but all of its members were very shrewd and adept at managing interpersonal relationships. As a result, they were all on good terms with the normal inmates of the prison.

Hence, they had many information sources, and the information that they provided was always very accurate.

These people made a good living from selling information, but due to the factions limited numbers, it was unable to gain any significant power, living between the cracks without much future prospects.

They were willing to lend Adam their assistance, but just like the members of the Radiation Gang, they were very cautious and made no promise that they would get involved in the upcoming riot.

In Darvaza Prison, any wrong decision could cost one their life, so everyone was extremely cautious and prudent.

However, this was already enough for Adam. He was certain that these two factions would step in if they could see that the Desert Gang was about to fall. A was confident that with Mole, Armadillo, and himself working with the Survival of the Fittest faction, they would be able to wipe out most of the Desert Gang's members.

It's about time...

On this day, Adam had only just gotten up when he was stopped by a pair of Desert Gang members who were accompanying him.

"Where're you going, Boss?"

"I'm going back to my cell to rest."

At this moment, it was close to dusk, and the sun was setting, while the lights in the third area had been switched on.

It was Reflection Day, which was a special day to commemorate the loss of the hundreds of millions of soldiers who had perished during World War III.

This was a public holiday across virtually the entire world, and that applied to Darvaza Prison as well.

However, it was also on this day that Adam's telegnosis was screaming at him, telling him that danger was afoot.

The two Desert Gang members who had been assigned with the task of keeping an eye on him had only recently been incarcerated.

Due to the fact that Adam was an adapter who was capable of peering into the minds of others, there was no way that Charlie would've sent any important members of the Desert Gang to supervise Adam for fear of important information being leaked.

Adam wouldn't be able to gather any useful information from these two, but at the same time, they were also not very good at their jobs.

The two of them had no idea what they were doing, and they were genuinely under the impression that they had been assigned to be Adam's lackeys.

"I heard that there's going to be a gathering today. Boss Charlie bought a lot of good food from the cafeteria for a feast. Are you not going to attend?"

In Darvaza Prison, any food outside of the energy bundles that were necessary for survival were considered to be luxuries, and virtually no one could resist the prospect of a good feed.

Even for faction members, good meals were quite rare to come by, and that was why both of Adam's "lackeys" were astonished that Adam would choose to return to his cell at a time like this.

"I'll pass. I have a headache, so I'm gonna go rest in my cell," Adam said, then turned to depart.

As he passed through the crowd in the Desert Gang's gathering area, he was observing everyone's expressions and movements.

He had invaded the psychic worlds of several Desert Gang members, but he hadn't been able to gather much information from doing so. However, he was able to gather much more information from simply observing those around him.

For example, the expressions that he could see on everyone's faces indicated to him that there was a very good chance that this was the day the riot would be taking place.

After parting ways with his lackeys, Adam tracked down the contact assigned to him by Thilan, instructing him to inform Thilan of the situation in the prison. After that, he was just about to find Mole and Adam when the sirens suddenly began blaring.

At the same time, all of the Mechguard units in the area were transferred elsewhere, and all of the lights in the prison flashed a few times before turning dark.

At this point, dusk had already arrived, and the prison barely had any windows, so the entire prison was instantly plunged into darkness now that all of the lights had been snuffed out. Furthermore, visibility was only continuing to deteriorate as dusk transitioned into night, and it wasn't going to take long before the entire third area was plunged into darkness.

Meanwhile, at the Desert Gang's gathering place.

"Our men are on the move. Should we begin as well, Boss?"

Charlie nodded in response. At this moment, he was in his cell with seven or eight of his most trusted subordinates, and they were going to form the core of this operation.

"Why didn't we make a move before Adam left? We would've definitely been able to take him down then."

"If he could be killed that easily, then our involvement wouldn't even be required. All of the wardens have guns, they could've just shot him down at any moment. The problem is that his status is very sensitive, so he has to die in a riot along with hundreds of other inmates. Only then can his death be convincingly framed as an accident."

Charlie bent down as he spoke and pulled out a box from under his bed. Inside the box were several pieces of special equipment, and a bunch of sharpened makeshift weapons.

"Get the people outside to come in and grab some weapons!"

The contents of the box were the source of the Desert Gang's confidence and the reason why Charlie had been willing to take on this mission.

Without sufficient resources, there was no guarantee that the Desert Gang would be able to beat the Survival of the Fittest faction.

The members of the Survival of the Fittest faction weren't exactly the brightest bulbs in the box, but they were all formidable physical specimens.

After handing out all of the weapons, Charlie led his men out of the Desert Gang gathering area. Along the way, he ran into a couple of inmates who were doing some exercise, and Charlie immediately approached them before plunging a sharp metal object into each of their hearts.

"Why..."

The two inmates resided in cells neighboring the Desert Gang gathering area, and they were on good terms with the Desert Gang's members, so they couldn't understand why Charlie had suddenly done this to them.

"We're trying to create some chaos, so the more people that die, the more convincing the end result will be. Let's go!"
