Chapter 839 An all out Prison Rush

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Blackjack never thought that he would be in this situation. Ice didn’t seem like a person that could be convinced, which was one of the reasons Blackjack never even tried, yet somehow, through a fight, they had managed to get Ice on their side.

Gary was now energized as well, which meant today was the day that they went with their plan. None of them stayed in the same cell; they all stayed in their respective cells but a time was set.

Gary walked out into the main open area; no one got close to him, and he waited by the side of the prison walls. Then, he could see that Blackjack had come out of his cell on the opposite side and was doing the same, and finally, there was Ice, who was a bit further down, who had come out of his cell.

It was a strange reaction from the prisoners. Usually both Blackjack and Ice would stay in their cells, yet both of them were out. They were wondering what was going to happen, yet they just stayed by the side of the wall doing nothing.

‘They're both waiting for me to act, the decision-making is down to me, I guess. There are two leaders, South and North, there’s not really much to it, I guess I just got to pick one.’

In the end, Gary had decided to head toward the south side. This was where the leader Carter was present. The man who was able to get knowledge from outside of the prison. There was a reason he had chosen this.

‘If I beat Carter, I can try and use his information-gathering skills to help me know what's going on, I can’t just keep relying on Elijah. Not that I plan to stay in here very long anyway.’

Gary started to walk forward, and when he headed into the south side, he could see all of the members looking at him from the side. They were staring down at him quite hard.

‘I have to remember, these guys will try and kill me without a second thought. If I hold back or hesitate it will mean the death of me as well.’

Just as Gary finished his thought, he heard the sound of footsteps coming from the side. He turned his head, and he could see one of the prisoners, an Altered, had transformed his hand.

It was split into several parts and extended out right to Gary; he moved to the side and with full force punched and hit the man away, sending him back into the air and crashing into the side of the wall.

A large indent was made, cracking it. Right after, Gary could see several more were surrounding him and had already transformed.

‘It looks like I didn’t even have to start the attack myself,’ Gary smiled.

From the other end, Carter was off in the distance. It was still a long way until Gary would reach him, and he was already being attacked, but he could hear the sound of fighting.

“The show has already started,” Carter said. “I knew he would come here and fight against us.”

“You were right, sir, but do you think we can stop him before he reaches us?” The man by his side said.

“Accumulative damage, at some point he will get hit or worn out, and as he goes in deeper, the level of the opponents that are ready to face him will be harder as well,” Carter explained. “As time goes on things won’t get easier and if he finally reaches us, do you know what that will mean… it means he will have to face the strongest while he is at his weakest, and besides we have a nice surprise for him as well.”

Gary had to be cautious; there were all different types of Altered, and he didn’t want to run out of energy. It wasn’t like he had time to just eat someone in the middle of his fighting either.

Then there was the last battle; after causing a mess, that was when the Warden would appear.

Sliding across the ground, Gary then reached another attacker and hit him right on his chin in the air. While the man was in the air, he grabbed his body and flung him toward the others that were coming towards him.

Right when Gary thought he could have a breather of sorts, he saw sharp spikes being thrown his way that were brown in color. He avoided them but noticed something; they had come from the north side.

“What the…”

Staring towards the north, behind him, he could see a large group of people making their way toward him. Gary didn’t recognize them, but one thing was clear, these people weren’t part of the south group.

They soon stood there with smiles on their faces.

“What’s going on? I thought your two groups were enemies with each other?” Gary asked.

To which, those from the steps in the center, their members started to move forward as well.

“Don’t blame us,” one of the men said. “You left us with no choice; with you getting friendly with Ice and Blackjack, you guys were planning to take over this place, weren’t you.”

Gary wanted to say they were wrong, and although they weren’t planning to take over the place, he was planning to beat them all.

“You brought this on yourselves; the only way to beat you guys was if all of us worked together, so we came to the conclusion this was the right choice.”

For a moment, Gary looked at Stinger who turned away. It felt like he was forced into this alliance that they were having.

“Well, we can’t have that now, can we,” a voice said, and out dashing quickly from the group, Blackjack had appeared and was now standing right by Gary’s side.

Right after, people were pushed away, and then Ice had appeared after knocking and freezing over a couple of people and was next to Gary.

“If you teamed up to go against us three, then shouldn’t you face all three of us?” Ice asked.

The situation was extremely tense, but Gary couldn’t help but smile.

“We're practically going up against the whole prison at once now. If we get rid of all of these guys, do you think that’s a big enough mess to get the Warden to come out?”

“Oh, most definitely,” Blackjack answered.
