Chapter 902 - A Last Minute Ambush (1/2)

Jiang Fei was frowning as he ran towards his comrades. The incoming enemies were too close to him. If Jiang Fei was alone, he could have Ariel teleport him away to safety. To teleport the entire group of martial artists and Androids would be unwise. Not that she did not have the capabilities to do so, but doing so would violate the war agreement. Level 5 Metahumans were not allowed to participate in fights that did not directly involve them. Ariel had once helped Jiang Fei to teleport but it was not directing influencing the overall outcome of the fight. She did not lay a hand on the enemy. Although some would say that it was a direct involvement but it was not too serious to the point where another Level 5 Metahuman would interfere.

If Ariel had helped to teleport the entire group of martial artists and Androids, she would be saving them, which was direct involvement in the war. That act would be a violation against the agreement which would lead to the involvement of other Level 5 Metahumans. If Jiang Fei was not afraid of getting the others to join in the fray, he would have sent Ariel to teleport everyone back to China! There would be no need for him to wait for the military to send their rescue ships!

A few moments later, Jiang Fei joined the rest of the group and found that the five remaining Scarlet Hunters that Hong Yu and the girls pinned down were killed by Bai Wanli and Ganyang Zhenren. They had successfully killed all 30 Scarlet Hunters.

”We need to leave! Right now! Follow me, I'll lead you to a place that we can set up an ambush!” Jiang Fei barked, panting for his breath as he was suppressed his pain and fatigue from the recent battle. They were at the bottom of the hills where the earth was plain and flat, perfect for the Mutant army and their sheer number of people.

”We're right behind you!” Bai Wanli cried and the rest followed. Everyone followed immediately with no questions asked.

Time was not a luxury at the moment, the martial artists could not afford to make proper burials. Everyone worked together to quickly create deep trenches in the earth and bury their own comrades. That was the least they could do at their current predicament.

”Captain, the Mutants are coming in 30 seconds. The army had split into several groups and the first group will reach first!”

Because of the younger, weaker martial artists, Jiang Fei and the entire group was slowed down slightly. The gap between the two opposing sides was closing in quick.

”Is there any suitable place for us to set up an ambush?” Jiang Fei asked 0541. It had a complete schematic map of their surrounding area and would surely know where would be a good spot.

”5 kilometers directly ahead. The mountainous region makes it suitable for an ambush. There is one more place further away but it is unlikely that you will be able to make it in time,” said 0541.

”Guide me then.”

Jiang Fei was slightly relaxed when 0541 gave him at least two choices. Having an area to choose from was far better than having to fight the Mutants in such a large, flat ground.

”Make haste, everyone!” Jiang Fei roared and increased his speed slightly.

”Captain! The enemies have stopped!” 0541 called out.

The Mutants had stopped because they had just found the dead bodies of the Scarlet Hunters.

”Impossible!” Lincoln gasped in disbelief.

”They are 30 Pinnacle stage of Level 4 Mutants! How could they be killed? All of them even! Did a Level 5 fighter aid them?”
