I Want to Die, But I Am Immortal
Chapter 171: Attack (2)
Adam stepped back. He held Sophia completely. He shielded her body with his own. He started to walk forward. Sophia was very surprised what was happening. But then she understood.
When she saw that bullets suddenly started to be fired at the place where they were standing. And many holes were made there. The ground erupted in a shower of dirt and stone chips. Seeing this Sophia's eyes widened. She understood what was happening.
Adam was about to move forward with Sophia. Then many bullets hit Adam's back. Sophia suddenly screamed. Seeing this Adam's attention went to Sophia. And he saw that Sophia's leg had been shot. A dark red stain was spreading on her uniform. Seeing this he picked up Sophia in his arms.
And he started to run. The continuous firing of bullets started to increase. And Adam saw that people had also come in front of him from where he was running. They were blocking his escape route. Who seeing Adam suddenly started to fire bullets without thinking.
There were people all around Adam. Who had automatic rifles in their hands. And the guns were firing very fast. The air was filled with the sound of gunfire. And many bullets were coming out of those guns every second. Adam tried his best to put himself on top of Sophia and save her.
But he was completely unsuccessful. When many bullets went through Sophia's body. And some bullets went straight into Sophia's head.
Because of which Adam did not even get time to react. And Sophia died right there in his arms. Her body went limp. Her eyes were wide and unseeing.
Those people did not stop there. And they kept firing their guns. Because of which Adam's iron skin which had withstood those bullets for a long time was now slowly giving up. It was cracking under the relentless assault. As many bullets hit his body and started to go inside his body Adam felt the pain.
He clenched his teeth. He knew what was going to happen. And immediately many bullets started to go through Adam's body. And darkness spread all around Adam.
The system window appeared in front of Adam. Which said "Host is dead. Being sent to the recent respawn point." After hearing this system notification Adam's surroundings became light again. And he saw that he was walking on the road at this time. He was alive.
He was whole. He was back. Seeing this Adam was very surprised and shocked. Fear was clearly visible on his face. Whenever the system had sent him back after being used it had given him a lot of time. Always. But this was the first time that the system had sent him just a few minutes before the incident.
He had almost no time to prepare. Seeing this Adam looked all around him. Sophia was still walking with him. She was alive. She was safe.
For now. But he saw that some people were still suspiciously walking in front of and behind him. They were trying to be subtle but Adam could see them. He could feel their eyes on him. Seeing this Adam understood that as soon as Adam had left the school at that very time these people were following Adam.
Adam understood from their expressions and their way of hiding themselves and keeping an eye on Adam so openly that whatever mess Adam and The Ghost Group had created was completely over. The war was over. And now they were all focused on him again.
Otherwise so many people would not have been after Adam for so many days. Adam understood that his escape from here was very difficult.
Then Adam put his hand in his pocket. And he took out the communication device from inside the inventory from the system. Which he had found in the first loop. It was a long shot. But it was the only shot he had. He held Sophia's hand and brought her closer to him.
Seeing this Sophia was very surprised. What was Adam trying to do in public in front of everyone. She was feeling very shy. Then Adam went next to Sophia's ear and said "Sophia try to cover me as much as you can." Hearing this Sophia immediately understood that Adam had seen something.
Which was very dangerous. That is why he was doing such a thing. After being with Adam for so long she had also understood that things were not right.
After hearing Adam's words Sophia also brought herself in front of Adam. So that she could cover Adam as much as she could. She used her body to shield him from view.
Adam immediately brought that communication device in front of his mouth. Sophia was in front of him. So that the people who were walking in front and keeping an eye on them would not see. Then Adam turned on that communication device.
He said "Cyan I need your help. Cyan are you listening?" He did not believe that Cyan would even listen to his words or not. But he had to try. He needed The Ghost Group the most at this time. Adam knew that as soon as he met Philips the time of their death would come that much closer.
While walking on the road ahead Adam saw a park. After seeing this park Adam held Sophia's hand. He went inside that park. And smiling he said "I have to freshen up. Where is the bathroom?" Hearing this Sophia also agreed to Adam's words and went inside the park.
Adam went inside a washroom in the park. Leaving Sophia in the ladies' washroom he went inside the washroom and immediately contacted again.
But this time before he could contact Monica's reply came. "Adam how do you have a communication device and what is the matter?" Then Adam said "I need your help. Right now. Is Cyan with you?" Immediately after Adam spoke Cyan's voice came from the communication device. Who said "Adam you were asking me. I am here. Tell me." Hearing this Adam said "I need your help. I think that the war of all those families is over. And they are after me."
Hearing this Cyan was very surprised. He shouted with a surprising expression "What? It can't be. As much as I have intel the other Royal Family has gotten involved. And if the other Royal Family has gotten involved then the Roundhall did some activity behind their backs. It's a very difficult chance that this war would end so easily." Then Adam spoke again. "As far as I have found out this is the truth. Now I need your help. You have to save me." Hearing this Cyan immediately took a deep breath.
He said "Where are you? Tell me." Then Adam said "Actually I have to go to meet the boy from the Song family Philips. You must know about him." Hearing this Cyan shook his head. Then Adam said "There are many people already deployed there. I am putting the communication device in my ear. I can stay there for some time. But I don't think I can survive for long. So I will be waiting for you."
Hearing this Cyan was quiet for a second.
Then he said "Don't worry. We will get you out of there in some way." Hearing this Adam turned off the communication device. Because he was hearing the footsteps of more people at this time.
More people were coming inside the bathroom. Seeing them Adam could run and tell that they were the people who were keeping an eye on Adam. Adam knew that he could not leave Sophia alone for long.
Then he immediately came out of the bathroom and saw that Sophia was already waiting for him. He started to walk forward with Sophia.
And he said to Sophia "Sophia be ready. Today we have to get out of here alive. In any condition." Hearing this Sophia was very surprised.
She thought that they were going to meet Philips. But in between Adam started to act very strangely. Which was already putting Sophia in a suspicious view.
That something was wrong. As soon as Adam said this she understood that things were not as good as they seemed.
Then Sophia said very slowly "I understand. I will try my best to get out of here alive in any condition." Saying this she looked at Adam. There was a determination in her eyes. Which was also visible to Adam. Seeing this Adam smiled. He said "Let's get out of here alive." Adam and Sophia reached the same place. Where they had to meet Philips. Adam and Sophia saw Philips coming from the front. He was very surprised to see Adam.
He said "I knew that you couldn't live without telling Adam." Adam stood in his place. He was standing right next to Sophia at this time. He had already seen the future. And he knew what would happen. The plan was already ready in his mind. How he had to escape from here. He just had to hear the voice of Cyan or someone else in his communication device in some way. He was waiting for the signal.
