To be fair, the prison faction simply wasn't strong enough to purge all the evil in the city.
But clearing out a single criminal force, like the one in Chikan Bay or at Weidao High School, was no great challenge.
They could even take on both at once and still have a chance of winning.
The problem was that the prison faction had no incentive to do so. Keeping things stable on the surface was enough.
A special operation like this one, with the Warden leading the team and several Section Chiefs deployed alongside him, was very rare.
The urgency was mainly due to the two pockets of darkness Lu Bai had created inside the prison. Together, they covered nearly two-thirds of the prison, and their impact was too severe to ignore.
Without those dark zones dealt with, the prison couldn't function normally.
Warden Xiong Pi, dressed in formal attire, strode over to the passenger seat of an armored personnel carrier and climbed in.
He rested one arm on the rolled-down window, cleared his throat, adjusted his earpiece, and said, "Everyone, get in. Prepare to move out."
"Whew~"
Simba let out a long breath. He had more or less recovered.
Although he didn't sense anything unusual nearby, he raised both hands and took up a fighting stance. "Did I miss?"
After all, the darkness in front of him still hadn't lifted. It was hard to see things optimistically.
In truth, after narrowly dodging Simba's astonishing punch, Lu Bai had gone right back to hunting the Deathmatch fighters, paying no attention to what was happening with Simba.
Under cover of the darkness, he swung without mercy, smashing his fist into one fighter's jaw.
The inhuman force sent the man flying several meters before he crashed heavily to the ground.
