Chapter 216: Chapter 96: Free Access to the Prey Group

The next day, after eating his fill and training, Gao Xin strolled through the black market.

On one hand, he was awaiting news from the Black Blood Gang; on the other, he was checking to see if there were any good items.

He now had the Demon Blade up close and Meteor from afar. If he had to say, all that was missing was a suit of armor.

However, after looking around, he couldn’t find anything suited to himself.

He wouldn’t wear heavy armor—it was too stiff and cumbersome, which not only affected his agility but would also interfere with the release of his exoskeleton.

Shields were an option, but they were too ordinary.

He thought that after rescuing Su Lei and the others, he would go to the Silver Tower to exchange them.

"Tai Sui, I’ve brought all the Radiation beef," Kerry said, dragging a small cart.

"We’re going to the radiated beast shop."

While Gao Xin helped Kerry sell the Radiation beef, he also ingratiated himself with members of the Black Blood Gang.

It was a literal mix-up; Yamal suddenly came and sought a sparring match with him secretly. He was defeated by Gao Xin in three moves without even needing to use the Demon Blade.

This made Yamal much more subdued, and he directly had someone purchase Kerry’s ton of beef at nine points per kilogram.

Kerry received nine thousand points and couldn’t stop smiling.

"Big Brother Tai Sui, Big Brother Salah is asking for you."

Yamal’s spine was directly broken by the fight, and it took him a long while to recover. Finally standing up from the ground, he immediately changed his tone and addressed him as ’Brother.’

Gao Xin calmly asked, "Is there news about the ransom?"

Yamal shook his head, "No, Big Brother Salah is asking if you got the names mixed up."

Gao Xin’s brow furrowed, "Impossible, these people are all mine."

Yamal earnestly said, "In any case, among the fighters listed by Yakutza, none of them are the people you’re looking for."

"Big Brother Salah is currently inquiring about them, worried whether they might already be dead."

Gao Xin shuddered. Dead?

In a grave voice, he said, "They’ve just become Radiations, less than a week ago. Could it be that they haven’t had the chance to come up for sale yet?"

Yamal shook his head, "According to what you said, none of them are Japanese. They should have been listed immediately after determining their Radiation type."

"If they’re not, there’s a high chance they are dead."

"After all, in the radiated beast riot a few days ago, Yakutza also lost many fighters, all killed by radiated beasts."

Hearing this, Gao Xin’s brows furiously twitched.

Could it be so absurd?

Had the chaos among the beasts that he created actually led to the indirect death of Su Lei and the other newly joined fighters?

Gao Xin hurriedly went to Salah’s residence, where Salah handed him a tablet computer, displaying a long list of names.

"Tai Sui, you take a look yourself. Maybe they’ve taken aliases."

Gao Xin immediately took it and checked. The list was very detailed, including headshots, ethnicity, height, weight, Radiation type, and other information.

However, after thoroughly searching, indeed they were not there.

It wasn’t a matter of aliases. He checked all the headshots, and they simply weren’t there.

How could this be? Were they really all dead?

Pondering, Gao Xin suddenly asked, "Why isn’t Tong Wuxin listed here either?"

Salah was taken aback, "You know Tong Wuxin?"

Gao Xin replied, "I haven’t met him, but I know of him."

Salah explained, "Of course not, Tong Wuxin is a super fighter, of the True Tiger Level. Who could afford him? By rights, he should have joined the Black Hand Group long ago, but he’s never been trusted by the Japanese."

"In any case, if a fighter shows great potential or loyalty, they’ll be kept back by the leaders of the fighter group and not listed."

Gao Xin was surprised to learn that Tong Wuxin was actually of the True Tiger Level.

He then asked, "Then do you know who Lin Fu is?"

Salah laughed, "Lin Fu is even less likely to be listed. He is Proton. Moreover, he’s now an officer of the fighter group. It’s said that he wields significant power there now."

Gao Xin started to understand and said, "Then I get it now, my people aren’t dead, it’s just their listing—that was suppressed by Lin Fu."

Salah pondered, "That’s possible. He has the power to do that."

"I’m not familiar with Lin Fu, but I know Tong Wuxin very well. He also has a high position in the fighter group. Do you want me to ask him for you?"

Gao Xin smiled, "He is Lin Fu’s trusted confidant."

Salah narrowed his eyes.

Gao Xin added, "Anyway, thank you for your trouble. I’d like to meet with Tong Wuxin."

Salah nodded, "Okay, I’ll have news for you tomorrow."

Another day passed.

Gao Xin took some time to look for Luo Yan but for some reason, Luo Yan wasn’t home, nor was Rousi.

This was also good news—clearly, Rousi had begun to take Luo Yan out.

It appeared that Luo Yan’s pillow talk had been effective; he could go out with Rousi, and the opportunity for him to go out alone in the future was likely not far off.

"I must gather everyone quickly and lead them out of Yamaguchi Village."

With a steadfast look in his eyes, Gao Xin returned to the Redemption Group.

He waited outside the camp for a while, finally encountering a familiar face.

"Qiao Long!" Gao Xin stopped him directly.

Qiao Long was startled, feeling that Gao Xin’s voice was familiar yet unrecognizable.

After all, Gao Xin had changed too much.

"I asked someone to tell you to wait for me outside the camp starting at two o’clock every afternoon, and it seems you are very punctual," Gao Xin said.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Long realized who the man before him was: "Brother Xin?"

"You...you’ve really gotten so powerful..."

Now, Gao Xin looked very strong.

Tall and muscular, he was equipped with a long knife at his waist, his arm wrapped in tight bandages, and his left arm covered with meteor-like gauntlets.

To the eyes of a "Glass Person," this was already an incredibly formidable Radiation.

The two found a quiet alley to converse.

Gao Xin asked him, "Have you told Lin Fu that I’m still alive?"

Qiao Long said earnestly, "No, why would I go spreading that kind of thing? What’s up?"

Gao Xin frowned, "Lin Fu might have detained Su Lei and the others."

Qiao Long hurriedly asked, "What do you mean by ’detained’?"

Gao Xin immediately explained the whole situation about the redemption offer and not finding Su Lei and the others.

Qiao Long pondered, "Then it’s likely Lin Fu who set this up, but that’s normal. He probably just wants to recruit more teammates."

"Su Lei and Dongfang Yi, not knowing you were alive, would have turned to the Black Hand Group for help, certainly going to Tong Wuxin, Lin Fu, and others first, hoping they could save you."

"But that’s difficult. In Lin Fu’s eyes, you are as good as dead."

"He probably told Dongfang Yi and the others that you had died. They harbor a grudge against the Japanese and are eager to escape, Lin Fu would naturally train them as his own people, of course, he wouldn’t tag them, leaving them to be bought away."

Gao Xin nodded, that must be the case.

But for him, this wasn’t good news. He could have simply bought them through Salah, wait for Luo Yan to come out, and then slip away together.

With his current capabilities, combined with the wolf pack minions, it shouldn’t be difficult to make a break for it.

He hadn’t expected that, by a twist of fate, Lin Fu had kept the men, leading to many complications.

"Tch, after going around in such a big circle, do we still have to cooperate with Lin Fu?" Gao Xin frowned deeply.

Qiao Long asked in surprise, "Wasn’t this our plan all along? The more people we have, the stronger we are. He’s been preparing for so long, rallying so many people, our chances of escaping successfully will be much greater."

Gao Xin said coldly, "That was the previous plan. Now, I don’t trust his plan."

"Why not?" Qiao Long had always trusted Lin Fu and didn’t understand why Gao Xin had started to avoid contact with him.

Gao Xin immediately relayed what he knew about the small gangs’ uprising, their alliance with Lin’s Village to overthrow Yakutza, and how they ended up as the scapegoats for Lin’s Village.

Qiao Long frowned, "So something like this happened in the past..."

"Are you worried that in the end, we might all be sold off, becoming the pawns that cover for Lin Fu’s escape?"

"Listen, Brother Xin, Lin Fu doesn’t seem like that kind of person. He’s not a criminal; he was wrongly brought in here."

Gao Xin replied, "I know, but even if he himself doesn’t have that intention, when he makes his move, Lin’s Village will definitely come to support him."

"With Lin’s Village’s past conduct, how could they care about our life or death?"

"If everything goes smoothly, that’s fine, but if complications arise, they will surely abandon us when necessary."

"If we escape on our own, we’d only face a small group chasing us, and I am fully confident about that."

"But getting tangled with Lin’s people would turn into a big issue... We would then be facing an entire legion, and the difficulty of escaping would skyrocket."

Gao Xin had experienced that if Yakutza really got serious, they were not currently capable of contending with them.

Qiao Long said thoughtfully, "So what should we do? Everyone is in Lin Fu’s hands now..."

"Are we going to confront Lin Fu? Let’s not... He once saved my life!"

Gao Xin nodded, "I know, Lin Fu also helped me before."

"You don’t need to worry about this, I’ll talk to him. He probably won’t intentionally drag me into trouble, after all, in his eyes, I’m just a small character who has just become a Radiation."

"Qiao Long, just get everyone in the redemption group ready to go, and wait for my message."

Qiao Long agreed, and the two parted ways.

After separating from Qiao Long, Gao Xin visited the prey group’s place.

In the past few days, the enclosure had been repaired, but the security had not increased; instead, it seemed rather sparse.

Which was understandable since there wasn’t much left to defend here. Many radiation animals had died that night, leaving few behind.

There were three hundred irradiated wolves alone, now the most precious radiation beasts in the prey group, meaning... the entire hunting group was now Gao Xin’s backyard.

"Alright, stop licking me," he said.

Gao Xin found a spot to slip in and was immediately greeted and revered by radiation wolves. He played with one for a while and then, exuding the aura of the Sky Wolf King, moved about the camp.

He saw that there were still quite a few radiation rats and a few radiation sheep.

As for the radiation animals that had died days before, the Black Hands would regularly deposit them at feeding points for the wolf pack to eat.

Clearly, with the death of the Beast Tamers like Six Paths Scars, the prey group had temporarily switched to a semi-free-range mode.

To re-establish large-scale livestock farming would require a big investment, and since the main culprit had not been found, Yakutza was not planning on rebuilding livestock farming for now.

The entire camp’s pastoral area was overrun with roaming radiation wolves, essentially becoming the new masters of the hunting group.

With them on guard, Gao Xin moved as if he were in a deserted territory.

Gao Xin carelessly slaughtered a sheep, hastily butchered it, extracting the choice parts for himself to feast upon, and tossed the rest to the wolf pack.

"Great, won’t be short of meat now."
