Welcome to the Wasteland - Chapter 49

Chapter 49: The Final Moment

The officer had already aimed his gun at Zhou Qingfeng’s body from the top of the dome. At this moment, Zhou Qingfeng was still grabbing things from the bodies while chatting with Leila Fox who was outside the memorial hall.

The trigger was pulled, and a loud bang was heard. With the push of gunpowder gas, the bullet was ejected out of the barrel. At this very moment, time stopped for a second… Since Zhou Qingfeng had the ‘Wittier than All’ ability, he would never fall victim to sneak attacks. If there was one, time would back up for one second.

This god-defying attribute saved Zhou Qingfeng once again; just like when he was held hostage by black robbers and had the muzzle on his waist, he was still capable of turning around to fight back. This time, he rolled forward and narrowly avoided a bullet that flew behind his head.

From the angle of the attacking officer, the target seemed to become alert all of a sudden and rolled forward the very second he pulled the trigger. He missed his shot. However, the officer did not hesitate for long; he aimed his muzzle in the direction of where Zhou Qingfeng was rolling and fired a few shots.

The skylight was shattered, and there were pieces of glass all over the ground. Amidst the noise was the sound of one gunshot after another. Zhou Qingfeng’s explosive power was at its maximum as he ran around the hall quickly.

His heart was racing, his ears were buzzing, and the blood vessels in his neck swelled rapidly. This was to make sure that under attack, Zhou Qingfeng would be able to have sufficient blood supply in his brain and have no interference from dizziness and affected vision.

However, the entire team launched their attack! There were four officers on the skylight; after one of them began shooting, the other three smashed through the windows as well and started firing at the target. Zhou Qingfeng was in deep trouble.

There were basically no obstructions at all in the hall. Zhou Qingfeng, who was running around quickly, was finally forced to jump into the pit where the tomb was. It was where General Grant’s coffin was; this was specially designed to allow visitors to pay their respects.

There was limited space in the pit so the angles to shoot into the pit were limited as well. Zhou Qingfeng only had to face one opponent at a time. With his SCAR assault rifle in hand, he aimed it at an officer who was standing on the skylight.

The officer on the skylight was shocked as the agility of the target in the hall was far beyond his imagination. He found it hard to aim at the target despite attempting to move ahead of the target at all times; this was obviously not something an ordinary person could achieve.

However, this realization came a little too late… the men were just over ten meters from each other. Zhou Qingfeng aimed at the officer quickly, and the assault rifle in his hand ejected deadly bullets. Gunshots were heard, and a man fell; the officer on the skylight was hit by multiple bullets, and his body rolled and fell.

Leila Fox had been chatting with Zhou Qingfeng from outside the memorial hall when she heard gunshots coming from indoors. A few seconds later, she watched a corpse fall from the top of her head.

Ah! The body and blood made Leila Fox scream in terror and shocked the police outside the memorial hall. Nonetheless, the commander was determined to kill Zhou Qingfeng. As he heard gunshots coming from indoors, he ordered the officers at the entrance to launch an attack while pushing the heavy bulletproof shield indoors.

Shields like this were usually used for thugs in riots. Its ballistic capability was good; it was so good that rifle bullets were unable to penetrate it. Nonetheless, it was bulky and heavy. It was only suitable for special occasions.

As the bulletproof shield advanced, Zhou Qingfeng was still trapped in the pit in the middle of the memorial hall. There were three other officers on the skylight. Although they were unable to hit Zhou Qingfeng in the pit, they were able to give their companions instructions to do so.

One of the officers even leaned over from the skylight and yelled angrily, “He’s in the pit, in the pit! He killed Harry, kill him, kill him quickly.”

Zhou Qingfeng’s eyes were red in anger. As the bulletproof shield moved closer, he raised his gun and fired it at the transparent shield.

Since they were just meters apart from each other, all of the bullets hit the shield. Unfortunately, these bullets were deflected by the shield. There was nothing Zhou Qingfeng could do about it even if he emptied his clip at the shield.

With the shield as a cover, a dozen policemen rushed into the dome-shaped hall. After realizing that Zhou Qingfeng emptied his clip, a brave officer rushed out from the back of the shield, raised his gun, and pulled the trigger on Zhou Qingfeng.

One-on-one shooting was extremely cruel and required great courage!

The officer who rushed out was obviously a brave man. He saw Zhou Qingfeng’s grim face and how he threw his emptied SCAR rifle. He also watched Zhou Qingfeng whip out his USP45 and aimed it at himself with determination, but he still aimed his gun at Zhou Qingfeng without flinching.

Meanwhile, although Zhou Qingfeng was getting cornered, he did not lack the courage to survive. He drew his pistol with extraordinary speed and shot it!

He was taking a gamble with his life!

Zhou Qingfeng’s sight was focused on every strand of hair on the officer across him. He could also see the wrinkles of the officer’s face; he also understood the officer’s angry gaze.

Maybe one of the officers I have killed was his friend!

Maybe the dog I killed before this was his pet!

Maybe he had a strong sense for justice and hates me for all the killing!

But sorry, I must live! Even if I live on with sin, I’m still living!

You the policemen are all going to disappear soon. You’re destined to disappear. No one can change this.

But I… I have a shot at surviving! I want to survive! That’s why I’m not going to give up, and I never will!

Bang! Once again, Zhou Qingfeng used his ability to get ahead of his enemies and took his shot. The first bullet grazed his enemy’s auricle, taking a string of bloody beads with it. Bang! The second bullet hit his enemy’s eyebrows, and the .45 caliber bullet peeled a part of the skull. Bang! The third bullet completely destroyed his enemy’s skull.

The brave officer never got the chance to fire a bullet.

Sorry, let me be the one to kill you guys!

The world will be destroyed anyway, it doesn’t matter who dies in whose hands, but I’ll get to survive in exchange for your death!

There was only one brave officer. The others were shouting while hiding behind the bulletproof shield; Zhou Qingfeng could not make out what they were shouting about. After Zhou Qingfeng killed the officer who rushed out, a few stun grenades were thrown into the pit.

Bang! Bang! Bang! After a few blasts, the huge sound waves destroyed all of Zhou Qingfeng’s senses. Stun grenades could make people deaf in both ears, shift their organs, or cause concussions. No matter how strong one was, the person would lose all fighting abilities within five or six seconds after the blasts.

After consecutive blasts, even Zhou Qingfeng’s NTZ-49 enhanced body was no match for the grenades. He could not even maintain his balance; he slumped to the ground.

Officers who were hiding behind the heavy shield finally gained the courage to come out of there. Each of them aimed their gun at Zhou Qingfeng in the pit; even if some of them could not see Zhou Qingfeng clearly, they were already shooting frantically.

At least seven or eight guns were aimed at Zhou Qingfeng. However, for every officer who came out of the shield, Zhou Qingfeng took a shot at him from the bottom of the pit.

Bang! An officer was hit in his arm, and his gun fell.

Bang! Another officer was hit in his shoulder. He screamed and fell.

Bang! There were still officers rushing over. This time, one was hit in the neck, and blood splattered for about three or four meters away from him.

Every shot he took was on target. Zhou Qingfeng seemed like he had God’s help with his shooting skill, but there was an endless number of officers charging towards him. As three or four officers aimed their guns at him at the same time, he knew it was his final moment!

Is it time for The Catastrophe yet?
