Chapter 124        Katrina's Firearms

Meanwhile, Butcher was staying at the base, Mox was still digging underground, and David Lawrence was on the front lines confronting Zetas. Zhou Qingfeng and Katrina brought around twenty search members with them. They were all in a truck heading to Brooklyn.

There were two bridges to Brooklyn in Downtown Manhattan: Manhattan Bridge and Brooklyn Bridge. The Manhattan Bridge was still blocked, yet the Brooklyn Bridge was cleared by Zetas, who was trying to take control of Manhattan.

"Fine, they aren't just normal gangsters." Zhou Qingfeng drove the truck and stopped near the Brooklyn Bridge. Through the night vision device, Zhou Qingfeng could spot people and cars crossing the bridge occasionally. "Seems like those organizations are getting better!"

The United States became very unusual during the cataclysm. However, human beings possessed the natural ability to work and stay together because of their desperation to live. Loners found it difficult to survive. Thus, all sorts of organizations had appeared in Wasteland.

There were many people from the United States who were religious, and those believers go to churches every week without fail. And so, after the government had disappeared, the churches became the natural sanctuary people go to for comfort. As a result, countless doomsday sects were created. For example, the Armed Nun Society created by Lena Fox had a religious background.

The U.S. still perpetuated a very strong military culture. During the American Revolutionary War, all sorts of militia were under Washington's command. Even though the military forces always lost to the British Army, the U.S. still kept its military culture to this day.

The militia of America was completely different to the militia in China. The militia in the U.S. held power, and they disliked being controlled. Zhou Qingfeng remembered that at the end of the movie 'Wasteland', churches and militia organizations worked together to become the mainstay for stabilizing the society.

However, there lay a problem. Before the churches and the militia organizations could complete their formation, there would be a period where dark and evil forces would grow rampant. It would last for a month.

"The New York Republic…. That Mr. Los Zetas really has got an imagination." In fact, Zhou Qingfeng worried about it. If Zetas continued to expand, Zhou Qingfeng would be the one suppressed. "I'm wondering if the decision to occupy the police headquarters is wrong."

"Don't simply change your mind once you have a target. You need to hang in there." Katrina was also in the truck, staring at the passing vehicles across the bridge. Those vehicles supplied large amounts of manpower and resources to Los Zetas. "Oh, right. How's your face?"

Zhou Qingfeng's face was still covered with a bandage, the dark red blood stains unusual and terrifying. "It's a bit itchy, but it should be healing."

"I'm so jealous of your powerful self-healing ability." Katrina stared at Zhou Qingfeng, then looked at her legs. "Can that NTZ-49 make amputated legs regrow?"

"You want to regrow your legs?"

"It seems like you know me very well."

"There are only seven out of twenty-seven cases that succeeded in bionic limb replantation. Only one of the seven people survived through the six-month rejection period for the artificial organ and lived normally. Miss Riven, don't you know you're famous?"

Zhou Qingfeng had been inspecting the vehicles on the bridge for an hour, and the search team had already cleared the way. He was ready to drive the truck, which carried twenty people, across the bridge. He planned to lie to the Zetas members that were guarding the bridge and head straight to Brooklyn.

Both of them were simply chit-chatting on the way. As Katrina talked about her legendary story, she gently stroked her long legs and asked, "You want to touch them?"

"I'm afraid you'd kick me to death." Zhou Qingfeng held the steering wheel and focused on driving.

"Actually, they are no different to normal legs. They can sense touch, they can feel pain, and they can feel the existence of the other parts of my body."

"I still don't dare." Zhou Qingfeng was unmoved and continued to drive.

"I promise I won't kick you. Try it."

Zhou Qingfeng simply shook his head and remained silent.

Katrina's face showed an expression of pride and despair at that instant. She mumbled, "Men are so heartless. David is, and so are you."

Zhou Qingfeng could not but complain, "Miss Riven, do you think about that when you're kicking somebody?"

Katrina burst into laughter. However, it sounded self-deprecating to Zhou Qingfeng's ears. "Victor, you're so interesting. If you were a little older, I'd consider you as a potential boyfriend."

"That's not funny."

"Ha ha ha…."

As the truck crossed the Brooklyn Bridge, in front of them stood ruined and destroyed buildings. Most of the buildings in Brooklyn were bungalows. Around 80% of the buildings were damaged. Broken windows and doors were very common; there were also a large amount of collapsed walls.

Through the night vision device, they could see a lot of armed Zetas members roaming the streets. They were patrolling with their flashlights. Due to the large number of obstacles on the streets, they could not drive fast. Zhou Qingfeng got out of the car and walked whilst holding his rifle. Katrina drove the truck slowly.

On the chaotic streets, light shone on Zhou Qingfeng occasionally. What they saw was a terrible and scary picture—a face half covered with a bandage soaked in blood. One armed tough man glared at them with cold eyes. The fierce picture discouraged a lot of people with evil intentions from approaching.

They spent two hours traveling before finally arriving at Katrina's house. As the owner of the house was absent, the house was already ruined and destroyed. All sorts of furniture and electronic devices were gone. The ceiling fell on the ground, and all fragile items became trash.

However, as the truck went into the underground car park, the scene that greeted them surprised Zhou Qingfeng. That ferocious lady literally hid a massive underground storage in her car park. The underground storage was filled with all sorts of resources.

"We need a few large trucks to move all these." Zhou Qingfeng was not interested in the ordinary food and medications. He was surprised and happy when he saw the large number of firearms stored by Katrina. "God, where did you get them?"

There were five M249 light machine guns, with more than 100,000 rounds of ammunition. Dozens of assault rifles with M203 grenade launchers, hundreds of rounds of .40mm grenade, and ten full boxes of M67 series grenades. There were even M18A1 anti-infantry directional mines and more than ten kilograms of C4 explosive units.

Zhou Qingfeng saw a big bag of restricted firearms when he first met Butcher. However, it was nothing compared to Katrina's stash. Katrina's firearms would be enough for a small-scale war.

"I got them from the black market. You can get anything you want in New York, just as long as you have money." Katrina showed a flicker of a smile and said proudly, "They were just a little expensive."

"What is that?" Zhou Qingfeng saw a weird gun hanging on the wall. As he reached for the gun, Katrina snapped, "Don't touch that! You can use any other weapon, but that one's mine."
