Chapter 339: Minor Radiation Zone

It was getting later and later into the night, and Adam was situated on a small road in Zephyr Town. This was one of the roads that could be taken to leave the town from the island, and the rest of his group were all split apart and waiting on different roads in order to abduct as many people as possible.

Looks like it's about time...

Adam took a glance at his communicator to find that it was already close to midnight, which meant that the restaurant's patrons had to be on the way home soon.

Sure enough, after waiting a few more minutes, he spotted a luxury car in the distance.

Generally speaking, those who came to the town for a vacation wouldn't drive such a luxury car. Hence, Adam had paid close attention to all of the luxury cars that had passed by before this, and this one was no exception.

Right as the car passed him by, Adam caught sight of a man sitting in the car, a man who was still yet to remove his disguise.

This wasn't just a simple disguise like makeup or a mask. Instead, it was some type of complex accessory, and from the style, Adam was able to immediately identify the man as a patron of the cannibal club.

After identifying his prey, Adam immediately set off in pursuit of the car, lunging forward before launching himself into the air above the car using the jetpack on his back.

As he came crashing heavily down onto the roof of the car, the spider legs on his back plunged into the car's sunroof before destroying it violently.

The driver was greatly startled by this, and he instinctively cried out in alarm, but his voice drew to an abrupt halt as he was quickly knocked out by a swift punch from Adam.

After knocking the driver unconscious, Adam made his way into the car, parking it by the side of the road before setting it on fire and dragging his prey away.

10 minutes later, Adam reunited with all of his companions at a predetermined location. Meanwhile, Mechguard units had already arrived in the town outside. Even though Zephyr Town was a tourist destination with relatively few Mechguard units, almost all of them were drawn to the town due to the combustion of the car that Adam had set on fire earlier.

"You guys only managed to capture a single person between all of you?"

"There's not much we could've done. There are only a few roads with no surveillance cameras, and after the woman's body was discovered, the majority of the people in the club left along the main road," Shae explained while Adam and the others stuffed the two captured club patrons into their car.

"Alright, clean up a bit, then get into the car. Let's get out of this town first."

After a quick cleanup job, everyone departed from the town, making sure to avoid the Mechguard units in the process.

After leaving the town, they didn't return directly to Sandrise City.

Sandrise City was monitored by countless surveillance cameras and patrolled by countless Mechguard units. Even though Adam was granted a degree of protection as he was a special psychic police officer, he didn't want to take any unnecessary risks.

Hence, after leaving the town, Adam drove the car into the wilderness.

This place was in the middle of nowhere, and it was a minor radiation zone. In addition to that, it was currently extremely early in the morning, so no one would stumble upon them.

After opening the trunk and dragging the two people inside onto the patch of flat ground, Adam was just about to commence his psychic infiltration when he noticed Mole approaching him.

"What are you doing, Boss? Aren't you going to keep a lookout?"

"There's no need for that. We're in a minor radiation zone, and it's pitch-black. Who could possibly have followed us here?"

"It's better to be safe than sorry. I had a rather bad feeling back at the cannibal club. Also, you have to remain conscious in case the other one wakes up."

"If you wanna fight, then just say it!" Rabbit was able to immediately see through Mole's intentions. "You go in, I'll keep a lookout. I've already fought in two battles, so I'm tired anyway."

"You know me too well, Rabbit!"

Thus, Adam and the others established physical contact with their subject before invading her psychic world together.

Upon arriving in the psychic world, they found themselves in a mysterious church, which appeared to be a branch of the Psychic Church. There were strange and complex symbols engraved on everything in the surrounding area, and those symbols struck the beholder with a strange sense of distortion and psychic pain.

Does this woman have ties with the Psychic Church?

The Psychic Church had always been the most officially recognized adapter organization.

The first time Adam had received a systematic education about adapters was at Layton Academy, which was one of the academies under the Psychic Church.

The majority of adapters came from normal families. Their parents weren't adapters, so they didn't know what to teach their children. As a result, those children were sent to study in the academies under the Psychic Church to learn how to harness their psychic powers.

The Psychic Church was a massive organization, but it was also bloated and lacking in efficiency.

The Psychic Church oversaw many adapter academies, as well as Carlin Asylum. The majority of Psychic Church adapters that Adam had encountered in the past had been extremely arrogant, with their arrogance matched only by their incompetence and lack of practical battle experience.

They had all been so very mediocre, just like the majority of people working in any massive organization.

However, one would be making a grave error if they thought that everyone in Psychic Church was like this.

The 12 bishops of the Psychic Church were proclaimed to be the most powerful adapters in the world, and when it came to research into the psychic sphere, they had made more contributions to adapters than anyone else.

Of course, adapters of their caliber had close ties with all types of powerful and influential figures.

I wonder if any of them are in the Guild of Immortality.

Adam was still inspecting the symbols on the walls around him when all of a sudden, his vision completely faded for an instant, following which he returned to the dark and boundless wilderness that he was situated on in the real world.

"What's going on?"

"Did something happen?"

Shae and Mole's voices rang out nearby, but Adam didn't say anything.

The fact that they had instantly returned to the real world indicated that someone had put an end to his psychic invasion on a physical level.

The only one who could've done that was Rabbit, who was standing on lookout duty.

"What happened, Rabbit? Why did you wake us up?"

"Listen... Do you hear that?"

The wind was howling ferociously over the dark wilderness, but thanks to his sensitive telegnosis, Adam was able to hear the sound of car tires and buzzing drones through the sound of the wind.

Adam was very familiar with this type of miniature drone as there was a very similar one fitted in his spider legs.

"Something's wrong! We have to go!"

Unfortunately, it was already too late, and a powerful bullet punctured one of the tires before they were able to make it back into the car.

The entire rim and wheel disc that the tire was attached to had also been sent flying, rendering the car completely undrivable.

"Who's there?" Mole yelled into the wilderness, and several beams of light appeared in the darkness, as if to answer his question.

The beams of light were coming from motorcycles, cars, and drones.

Adam peered into the distance to see a person emerging from one of the cars.

"Who's there? Would you like to come over for a chat?"

At the moment, their assailants were wielding a super long-distance firearm resembling a sniper cannon, and they were outside of the effective range of his mechanical neuron electrical synapse transmission device.

"I know what you're thinking, Adam. I have no intention of facing you in the psychic world. Instead, I'm much more content staying a safe distance away from you," the man yelled from afar. "Allow me to introduce myself, I am Thilan from India."
