Rise Of The Wasteland Chapter 15 - Fight Back

Chapter 15       Fight Back

Astonishment, panic, horror, helplessness….. When Zhou Qingfeng faced the black guy with the gun, he immediately realized that he was so weak. The great ambitions that he had instantly became extremely ridiculous. What about the previous exclamations about ruling the wasteland and taking over the world? All that’s needed was a single bullet to take his life away!

Looking into the fierce eyes of the black guy, Zhou Qingfeng realized that he had absolutely zero clue on how to handle a situation like this. He was born in China, grew up in a modern society, and was raised as a proletariat successor. He had never encountered any bad guys in his life.

Even in his previous fights, his opponents were at most, the bullies in his school. A brick was their most dangerous weapon; no knives were ever used. In contrast, it had only been twenty-four hours in the United States, and he already had a gun pointing at his waist.

The pa.s.sersby were not surprised. They would only take the few, extra steps away to avoid getting involved and quickly walked away. n.o.body had the urge to interfere. Zhou Qingfeng was stunned and his mind went blank. He completely lost the ability to move.

It was obvious that the black guy expected this reaction from Zhou Qingfeng. A grin spread across his face as he put his hand on Zhou Qingfeng’s shoulder. He squeezed it and said, “Kid, relax, I like your co-operative att.i.tude.”

Extreme humiliation flooded Zhou Qingfeng’s mind and his face turned red. Anger and frustration collided back and forth in his brain.

“Zhou Qingfeng, open your eyes and take a look. This black guy is laughing at you; he’s laughing at your incompetence and cowardice.”

“Zhou Qingfeng, do you still have the confidence to live in this world? You can’t even deal with a street gangster; how would you be able to survive in the more chaotic and disordered world after the cataclysm?”

“Zhou Qingfeng, accept the reality! It’ll be useless even if you reserved more resources; you’re not suitable for this world! Your hard work might just allow you to live for a few days more. This world isn’t suitable for you.”

Zhou Qingfeng felt like screaming as he struggled with the negative emotions. However, it was as if he had fallen into a nightmare. It felt like it prevented him from moving; his whole body was static.

No….. wait!

It’s not that I can’t move, the whole world is paused!

Zhou Qingfeng realized that the world was paused, as if it were a movie. The original, colourful image turned black and white. Something like a screen appeared in front of him and displayed the sentence, ‘Your life is at risk. Hence, your reward of transmigration has been activated as consequence of your current extreme circ.u.mstances.’

‘Randomly distributing abilities….. Based on your current predicament, you have received the ability, ‘As Quick as Lightning’. Package distributed, this will be your last gift.’

A stick figure that represented Zhou Qingfeng appeared before him. It had the ability which he had obtained before - ‘Naturally Gifted’. It was actually an ability that the so-called ‘G.o.d’ gave him. The ‘G.o.d’ gave him a body with unlimited potential. It had extraordinary growth and a crazy ability to learn.

‘As Quick as Lightning’ - its user will always get the first attack in a close-ranged fight and one second will be gained to counter, even if it was a sneak attack. The enemy will be absent-minded for one second.

One second. As long as Zhou Qingfeng fought back, he will be able to regain a second. It would be as quick as the blink of an eye!

Zhou Qingfeng cleared his head. The black and white that was static returned to normal; the scenery around was active once again. Only the black guy holding the pistol did not recover.

One second; only one second!

Zhou Qingfeng was originally looking backwards. He looked at his opponent’s face which displayed a mix of outrage and ridicule. The extremely suppressed emotions he had burst into great courage.

Fight back, fight back, fight back! Kill this n.i.g.g.e.r robber, kill him! Make him regret with his life for provoking you. Make him cry with his soul when he’s in h.e.l.l.

I want to change. I want to survive. I’m adapting to this world! Life was just dying or living. Facing the difficulty with courage is the only way to get through.

One second was a very short instant. Zhou Qingfeng made two moves. First, he moved his body and avoided the pistol from the black guy. Second, he grabbed a switchblade from his belt.

It was a very small switchblade. It was the only unnoticeable weapon in his pocket when he transmigrated. The switchblade was extremely useless to Zhou Qingfeng. In this world where guns and firearms were everywhere, the switchblade would only be able to cut some fruits. There was no way it was going to be of help in anything.

However, Zhou Qingfeng was wrong; the switchblade came in handy. When he decided not to bring the big and heavy Colt M1911A1, he conveniently brought the switchblade along.

Now…. with a light press, the knife popped up with a swish. Zhou Qingfeng turned around and stabbed forward; the sharp blade penetrated the black guy’s chest easily. The black guy finally had the time to react, but it was too late.

For the pa.s.sersby, Zhou Qingfeng was the poor guy who was targeted by the robber. He was alone, so careless, and revealed that he had cash - being robbed was completely to be expected.

However, when the robber was going to search Zhou Qingfeng, Zhou Qingfeng’s reaction was confusing. Those who were watching the robbery saw him turn around at the speed of lightning to avoid the gun and he simultaneously fought back with a blade.

A blade stabbed him and blood oozed out from the wound! A scene of retaliation was live.

To the black guy, the prey that had fallen into his hand turned into a hunter, all of a sudden. He was very confident that today, he was going to rob some money, but his self-confidence made him suffer a catastrophe.

It was only during this trance moment that the black guy realized that Zhou Qingfeng had disappeared. He did not even see his action and he felt the pain in his chest. The cold blade stabbed his chest. His energy was like a punctured balloon, disappearing very quickly.

The black guy knew he was stabbed. He adjusted the pistol and tried to aim at Zhou Qingfeng again. However, Zhou Qingfeng reacted very differently this time. The young, Asian man easily blocked his hand that was holding the pistol and stabbed him again.

The second blade stabbed his lung. Once the blade was out, the black guy felt the hot and fishy liquid pouring out from his trachea. He was going to cough, yet he coughed blood out.

f.u.c.k….! I’m going to kill this yellow monkey!

The strong, black guy with the pistol thought of killing Zhou Qingfeng, but it was only a mere thought. When a third blade stabbed his heart, he completely lost the ability to fight back.

It was just a few seconds - Zhou Qingfeng turned from a victim of robbery into a murderer. The black guy with the pistol who weighed more than a hundred kilograms fell to the ground. It was as if he had been through a great war; his body felt as if it just came out of water. He was drenched in sweat and he even felt a little weak.

I killed someone, I killed someone!
