Chapter 308        Beheading Tactic (1)

A gunshot was heard. Santos was shot by a .45 caliber bullet and he fell to the ground. He touched the blood on his chest, he could not believe it. He stared at Zhou Qingfeng, who stood up from the couch and asked, “Why? Why are you doing this to me? What did I do wrong?”

“You’re wrong about me, I don’t like being threatened,” Zhou Qingfeng then ignored the old man on the floor who was going to die. He took a deep breath and said to Raymond, “Command all the ships to leave right now. Head to Nassau. Besides the action groups, bring everyone and everything out of here.”

Raymond was stunned. He said hurriedly, “But we’re not ready to go yet. Even though the aircraft, pilots, and arrangements are ready, the airport isn’t in our control. There are more than three thousand armed Cuban soldiers guarding the airport.”

“As soon as we leave, the Cubans would immediately react. They could chase up to us easily with speedboats, we can’t run away from them.”

“I know your worries.” Zhou Qingfeng gave Raymond’s shoulder a pat, “You’re good at organizing and managing, just let me do the escaping. Raymond, you’re a great assistant. Now, your job is done. You can return to Nassau.”

With a snap of his fingers, sisters, Ellie and Eileen followed him. DogMeat stood up from the floor, barked at the astonished Raymond and went after Zhou Qingfeng.

Clooney, from the Enclave, was staying next to Zhou Qingfeng. He has been very busy collecting information about the Cubans. Zhou Qingfeng suddenly broke into his office and laughed, “Mr. Clooney, the beheading tactic has begun. Call the fighter aircraft of Enclave.”

“What?” Mr. Clooney was stunned; he had no idea about what was going on. He asked, “Now? I thought the barter trade was still going on? And you haven’t got the passenger aircraft ready for trade.”

“It’s at the airport. Now, I need you to eliminate the armed Cubans camped around the Miami Airport. I don’t care about the other stuff, but please don’t destroy the airport and landing track.” Zhou Qingfeng wanted to get rid all of them at once.

“But we can’t make sure that we could eliminate all the leaders of the Strategy Committee at once, especially the ones in the town hall. It’s the center of the Strategy Committee. According to what we know, the commander of the Strategy Committee is hiding in a dugout under the town hall.”

“The beheading tactic considered a few backup plans but there’s something we can’t avoid - the Miami town hall. Commander Carnell is hiding there. The beheading tactic would fail if we can’t kill him.”

“I know, I know that.” If the commander of the committee was not killed, Zhou Qingfeng’s escape plan would be much more difficult. He would not be able to get out of there. “I’ll be right back, I’m gonna go and get rid of him right now.”

“You….?” Clooney was shocked. He grabbed Zhou Qingfeng’s hand and asked, “Are you crazy? You’re gonna go in there, alone, in person?”

“It seems like I’ll be the only one who could get into the town hall and be able to see Carnell. Also, I’m the only one who could kill people in there and get out, the rest you can’t even get in there.”

Zhou Qingfeng shrugged his shoulders and pat Clooney’s shoulder, “Don’t worry, just go along with my plan. By the way, I’ll call for air support anytime. Please be aware and prepared for that!”

Clooney looked at Zhou Qingfeng leave and was confused. He quickly contacted the headquarters of the Enclave and reported that the beheading tactic had been initiated. They had no choice but to listen to Zhou Qingfeng because he was the one in charge.

Zhou Qingfeng left the Four Season hotel and got into an armored pickup. He contacted the twenty actions groups one by one and explained to them about the escape plan. After he spoke to Lena Fox, he remembered Angie, who was still in New York.

He started to call with his wireless radio. After a few minutes, Angie answered, “Hey…, Victor, I’m so glad that I’m still in your mind.”

Angie sounded a little sad. It seemed like something bad had happened. Zhou Qingfeng did not have time to comfort her. He sighed and asked, “Angie, you’re still in New York, am I right?”

“Yeah…” Angie continued, “Are you calling to convince us to leave again? I’m right, aren’t I?”

Zhou Qingfeng remained silent, he did not want Angie to die. Finally, he said softly, “Listen, Angie. Tell your father that there’s gonna be a nuclear attack in thirty-six hours. Ask him to leave New York.”

“Remember, don’t get close to any city. Cities with more than a population of fifty thousand will be targeted. Find the nuclear retreat built by the U.S government. I believe he’ll know the location.”

“Angie, I really hope you can stay alive. I don’t wanna lose you. Trust me, that’s not a joke.”

The conversation ended. Angie returned from her shock and kept on calling Zhou Qingfeng. However, Zhou Qingfeng did not answer. Meanwhile, Ellie and Eileen were also shocked by what Zhou Qingfeng said. They were astonished and had no idea what to say.

“Let’s go. Head to the town hall. We have to end this within thirty-six hours and get away from this place that is going to be destroyed.” Zhou Qingfeng drove the pickup himself and headed straight to the town hall.

Angie was worried and panicked. She could not contact Zhou Qingfeng. She quickly rushed out of her room and went to look for her father.

“Mom, where’s Daddy?” Angie was living in a luxurious apartment in Manhattan. She was the daughter of the ruler of New York at the moment: David Lawrence.

Meanwhile, Rachel was preparing lunch. Since the cataclysm, she had nothing to do but be a full-time housewife. “Angie, what’s the matter? Why are you so panicked?”

“Victor told me that there’s gonna be a nuclear attack in thirty-six hours! He told me many times and I really think it’s not a joke. He’s really serious about it!” Angie cried out loud.

After David Lawrence took control of New York, the population was slowly recovering. At the moment, there were more than fifty thousand people living in New York City. If there really was a nuclear attack, at least ninety-percent of the population would be killed.

A ceramic plate slipped from Rachel’s hand, fell to the floor, and shattered. She believed what Angie said. From her past experiences, even though Zhou Qingfeng was rude, fearless, violent, and overbearing, he was not someone who would lie.

“Oh God, we need to convince your father now!”
