Chapter 52        Who Are You?

They passed a few hundred meters as Lena Fox talked. Zhou Qingfeng drove directly into the Columbia University.

“Stay in the car. Trust me; you’ll be able to survive longer if you think thoroughly about the current situation.” Zhou Qingfeng grabbed the SCAR rifle and got out from the car.

Initially, Lena Fox planned to obey and nodded her head, but she changed her mind almost instantly and asked, “You really don’t need my help? I might be able to get that dog easily for you.”

“Nah.” Zhou Qingfeng walked out from the mobile command vehicle with his rifle. As soon as he came out from the car, he was surrounded by a bunch of students from the university. Meanwhile, someone yelled, “Look, look! There’s still a cop here.”

Clearly, the news about the disappearance of the police had spread out. It would be a real problem if there were no police to manage New York, where the security and the environment were all complicated.

Zhou Qingfeng tended to look like a cop when he was wearing the uniform. He was also equipped with equipment used by the police, and his face was covered by a helmet. His appearance brought great comfort to the whole university.

Zhou Qingfeng was actually interested in these university students. He spoke through the microphone of the vehicle’s PA system and called the attention of everyone around him, “Everyone, I believe that you already know the situation. There’s no explanation for it, but most of the police in the city have disappeared. As for me, I just lost my teammates and am terrified as well.

“However, I’ve decided to fulfill my obligation and came to the university to protect the most outstanding people in the society. I was hoping to gather all of you to ensure the stability of society. But I’m too weak on my own, so I need your help.

“Now, I need you to listen to my orders. First of all, the boys should gather all the food, drinks, medicines, and weapons you can find. Quarantine the whole university, build a barricade, and prevent those who have no known identity from entering the campus.

“Secondly, the girls should contact all classmates or teachers. Call whomever you could immediately, and tell them it’s an emergency. Society could go out of control at any time. I need them to gather in the university and form teams to be able to survive.

“Finally, don’t give up. Even though there’s no government and police, we are still alive and we will continue living. Let us pray, God bless America!”

He he…!

The voice from the loudspeaker reassured everyone around him, especially since Zhou Qingfeng talked as if they were his first priority. His last phrase ‘God bless America!’ even inspired the audience into cheering.

Ha ha ha…. What a bunch of hot-blooded idiots. They will soon be taught how to survive the final phase of the world by reality. These young people will be good workers in the future! Looking at the joyful scene, Zhou Qingfeng really wanted to scream, “I’m the king of the world!”

It was the University of Columbia! Only the smartest students and professors could get in it. Zhou Qingfeng had expected to find a few doctors and biology professors to help him with the production of NTZ-49.

After ordering the students, Zhou Qingfeng sneaked away and headed toward the Department of Engineering and Applied Sciences. The police in the university had disappeared. The military and the people from the national security division were gone, too, but there were a few security guards who remained.

Zhou Qingfeng stopped a person and asked, “Where’s Babylon’s Smartlab?”

The person was dumbfounded even as he replied honestly, “It’s on the seventh floor.”

Zhou Qingfeng took the elevator to the seventh floor. As soon as he walked out from the elevator, he saw a big sign which read ‘Babylon’s Smartlab’. Behind the sign were a row of glass-windowed rooms.

Most of the rooms appeared to be a little bit messy. Judging by the state of the tables, one could see that their owners were engineering students. Some of the rooms were filled with a few cabinets aligned in order. The laboratory also had a special security door, and usually, there were professional security guards manning that door.

However, Zhou Qingfeng saw a few robust security guards bounded to some chairs. They were struggling and their mouths were taped. He walked forward, tore the tape off from one of them, and asked, “What’s going on?”

The security guard quickly shouted, “Tony Parker is a traitor! He broke into the lab with two women. He locked everyone in and tried to steal the results of the lab’s most confidential research. Call someone; we need backup!”

No way. Even if Tony Parker was freaking lucky, his combat power didn’t even exceed level five. How did he lock so many of you up with just two women?

Zhou Qingfeng did not intend to release the guards. He continued to walk into the laboratory with his rifle, and very soon he encountered a broken reinforced glass door. There were obvious kicking marks on the glass door.

It seemed like a fight occurred in that place, and those security guards were beaten. However, the bulletproof glass door could even block the bullets; Zhou Qingfeng’s body, which had been strengthened, could not break it.

There was only one person who could do this kind of abnormal thing.

Zhou Qingfeng instantly guessed the two women described by the guard. One of them was Angeline Lawrence, who hacked the security system. The other one who was responsible for the destruction must be Katrina Riven.

As soon as Zhou Qingfeng thought of the tough, long-legged lady, she appeared from the corner of the laboratory. They looked at each other and instantly acted. Zhou Qingfeng quickly pointed his rifle at her and tried to hint her not to make any move.

Katrina, the crazy woman that she was, was never good at reasoning. She would rather use her actions to express her thoughts. When she saw a person who looked like a cop appear, her first reaction was to rush forward.

They had more than ten meters between them, but she only used two steps to reach him. It was faster than her pulling out her gun! Biologically powered titanium legs were indeed extremely tough. She was already in Zhou Qingfeng’s face in just a blink of an eye.

Zhou Qingfeng looked at the cold-faced lady who threw a punch at his head. If it hit, even if you were as strong as a cow, you would faint on spot. Now he understood why the guards were so terrified; it was hard to not be when faced with this crazy woman.

A wave-like punch, coming through the air!

However, a sneak attack, an assault, a quick attack, or any other attack for that matter would not work on Zhou Qingfeng! This was because of his ability ‘As quick as lightning’, which allowed him to always get the first move to attack! As the punch neared his face, he gained another second to act.

Zhou Qingfeng bent his waist and lowered his body as he avoided Katrina’s punch. He then threw his fist into the ferocious lady’s stomach.

After a second, both of them crashed into each other. Even though Zhou Qingfeng avoided Katrina’s punch, he felt pain from the arm with which he punched her. His body then felt as if it got hit by a train. He was sent away.

This crazy woman had two extremely strong legs. She’s not even afraid of exhaustion and wore a full set of heavy body armor! My fist punched a ceramic bulletproof board. My hand! Ouch!

Katrina felt even worse. She thought that she wouldn’t miss the punch, yet it was avoided by Zhou Qingfeng. She was frightened by Zhou Qingfeng’s last move as he dodged like the shadow of a ghost.

Zhou Qingfeng struck her stomach. Even though he screamed in pain, his muscles and bones had still been strengthened by the NTZ-49. Katrina only had her two legs reinforced, and thus she could not withstand such violent impact.

The pale, ferocious lady stood up from the broken pieces of the glass door as Zhou Qingfeng held his arm and rolled on the floor. She endured her pain and asked, “Who are you?”
