Rise Of The Wasteland Chapter 49 - The Final Moment

Chapter 49        The Final Moment

The special forces unit member who had climbed up to the dome aimed at Zhou Qingfeng’s body. Meanwhile, Zhou Qingfeng was still having a chat with Lena Fox while searching the body of the corpses.

The trigger was pulled, and a gunshot could be heard. A bullet was fired from its hammer upon ignition by gunpowder. The world, however, stopped for a second at that instant… ‘As Quick as Lightning’ was activated and one second was gained as it was a sneak attack.

This exceptional ability saved Zhou Qingfeng once again, just like it did back when he was seized by the nigg*r robber. His enemy’s muzzle was already pointing at his waist, but he was still able to turn around to counter him. This time around, he was able to roll forward to dodge the bullet that flew past the back of his head.

The special forces unit member who launched the attack realized that the target was suddenly alerted and rolled forwards when he pulled the trigger. That made him miss his target. However, he did not hesitate as he immediately followed through and fired three more consecutive shots.

The skylight shattered and fell apart. Pieces of its fragments fell to the ground. One gunshot was followed by another in the midst of the chaos. Zhou Qingfeng’s explosive power, however, suddenly soared as he moved around the lounge at an extreme speed.

His heartbeat increased, his ear buzzed, and the blood vessels on his neck enlarged to ensure that enough hemoglobin was transported to his brain so that he would not feel dizzy after being ambushed.

However, the others followed suit after the first member launched his attack! There were four special forces unit members who had climbed up to the dome. The other three broke the gla.s.s and fired at the target desperately after the first unit member fired his shot. Zhou Qingfeng’s situation suddenly became very dangerous.

There was almost no place to hide inside the lounge. Hence, Zhou Qingfeng had no choice but to jump into the pit that was located in the middle of the lounge. There laid the coffin of General Grant, and it was designed in a certain way to impress the tourists.

The s.p.a.ce inside the pit was limited, hence, so was the angle for shooting. Zhou Qingfeng would only need to face one opponent at a time. He was still holding a SCAR a.s.sault rifle in his hand. He then aimed steadily at one of the unit members who was standing on the skylight.

The special forces unit member who stood on the skylight was terrified, as the speed of his target greatly exceeded his expectations. He realized that he could not catch up with his target and it was obviously not something that an ordinary person could have achieved.

However, he realized that too late...they were only about ten metres apart. Zhou Qingfeng swiftly aimed at him and fired a lethal shot from the a.s.sault rifle. He then collapsed right after the gunshot was heard. The special force unit member who stood on the skylight was shot several times. His body somersaulted a few times before falling to the ground.

Lena Fox initially planned to continue chatting with Zhou Qingfeng. However, she suddenly heard gunshots from within the Memorial Hall. She then saw a corpse falling down from the rooftop after a few seconds.

“Ah!” Lena Fox screamed in fear when she saw the corpse and blood. The cops who camped outside were terrified as well. However, the commander on-scene insisted on killing Zhou Qingfeng. He ordered the police to block the entrance with the heavy-duty anti-riot shield and launched an attack after hearing the gunshots..

The shield was normally used to deal with thugs on the streets. Its bullet-proof capability was excellent to the point where even bullets from a rifle could not penetrate through it. It was, however, extremely heavy. Thus, it was only used for special occasions.

Zhou Qingfeng was still trapped inside the pit when the heavy-duty anti-riot shield was pushed into the lounge. There were still three special forces unit members on the dome. Although they could not attack Zhou Qingfeng who was currently inside the pit, they could still give each other instructions.

A special force unit member put his head out of the skylight and shouted angrily, “He’s inside the pit, inside the pit! He killed Harry. We need to kill him. We need to kill him now!”

At that instant, Zhou Qingfeng stared at them angrily and his eyes turned crimson red. He lifted his gun and shot at the heavy-duty anti-riot shield when he saw it approaching.

He was only a few meters away from the shield and all of his bullets landed on the shield. However, unfortunately, the shield was immune to all of them. Zhou Qingfeng could not handle his opponent even though he finished a magazine.

More than a dozen cops were able to rush into the dome-shaped hall with the help of the shield. A brave cop even dashed out from the back of the shield after hearing the click of an empty magazine from Zhou Qingfeng’s gun. He then immediately lifted his gun and fired shots at Zhou Qingfeng.

Face-to-face shooting involved extreme cruelty. It required a great degree of bravery!

The cop who dashed out from the back of the shield obviously did not lack courage. He saw the furious Zhou Qingfeng. He saw Zhou Qingfeng drop the SCAR which ran out of bullets. He also saw Zhou Qingfeng taking out his USP45 quickly. He even saw Zhou Qingfeng aim at him, full of determination. However, he did not cower as he continued aiming at Zhou Qingfeng.

Zhou Qingfeng did not give up. He strived hard even though he was forced to a dangerous spot. With his extraordinary agility, he pulled out his pistol and fired a shot!

He’s betting his life on it!

Zhou Qingfeng starred at him attentively. He had clear vision of every single hair and wrinkle of the cop. He could even fully understand the anger that filled the cop’s eyes.

Perhaps, the cop who just died in my hands was his friend!

Or, perhaps, the dog I killed before belongs to him!

It’s also possible that he just has an exceptional strong sense of justice, and thus hates my att.i.tude of treating human life like gla.s.s!

But, I’m sorry, I have to live! I have to live even if I had to live a sinful life!

All the cops have to disappear. You’re all destined to disappear and no one can alter your destiny.

As for me, however....I still have a chance to live! I still want to live! Thus, I will not give up, I’ll never give up!

Bang! Zhou Qingfeng always got the first move in an attack. The first bullet pa.s.sed through his opponent's ear and brought a string of beads of blood with it. Bang! The second bullet pa.s.sed through his opponent’s eyebrow. The point 45 caliber bullet peeled off half of his brain. Bang! The third bullet blew his skull away from his head completely.

The brave cop failed to shoot even one bullet from beginning to end.

I’m sorry, allow me to be the one who kills you!

The world is doomed anyway, and you’ll be dead. Your death, however, could be exchanged for my life!

Only one cop had such courage. The other cops hid behind the heavy-duty anti-riot shield instead. They were screaming loudly, but n.o.body knew what they were screaming for. After Zhou Qingfeng killed the cop who dashed out from the back of the shield, a few flash grenades were thrown into the pit.

A few explosions were soon heard. The ma.s.sive clamor destroyed Zhou Qingfeng’s perception. A grenade could lead to deafness, a midline shift in the brain, as well as brain turmoil. Even the strongest man alive would lose his ability to fight within five to six seconds if he got affected by the flash grenade.

Zhou Qingfeng could not bear the pressure caused by the consecutive explosions even though his body was modified by NTZ-49. He even collapsed as he could no longer maintain his balance.

The cops that hid behind the heavy-duty anti-riot shield finally had the courage to stand up. One by one, they lifted their rifle and aimed at Zhou Qingfeng who was still hiding inside the pit. They fired at the pit even though they did not have clear vision of Zhou Qingfeng.

At least seven to eight rifles were visible and they were all aiming at Zhou Qingfeng. However, Zhou Qingfeng, who hid in the pit, fired a shot every time somebody emerged.

Bang! A cop got shot in his arm and his gun fell to the ground.

Bang! Another cop got shot in his shoulder. He screamed as he fell to the ground.

Bang! Cops were still rushing in. This time around, the cop got shot in his neck and his blood splattered three to four metres away.

Zhou Qingfeng kept hitting his target with every shot. This time around, he fired as if he had the hand of G.o.d. However, endless amounts of cops continued to rush in. He knew that his final moment was approaching when he saw three to four cops aim at him at the same time!

Shouldn’t it be about time for the cataclysm?
