Chapter 133 Give It a Shot
After a long night, they still did not manage to catch the sniper.
Eight men under Zhou Qingfeng were sacrificed, including the violinist, Joseph Bell. Zhou Qingfeng could not bury him in front of the Broadway theater; he could only bury him in a park nearby. His violin was buried with him.
The park had already become a graveyard. Zhou Qingfeng had buried more than a thousand corpses of the search team members in the park. Later on, Zhou Qingfeng could only put the corpses in bags and simply leave them in the park as there was not enough space. At that moment, they did not even have enough bags for corpses.
A simple funeral ceremony was held for Joseph. Butcher looked at the place where Joseph was buried and mumbled, “There used to be tons of musicians and artists in Manhattan. But, I’m afraid that he’s the last one now.”
“The last phase doesn’t need a musician,” Zhou Qingfeng buried the old man himself. There was no tombstone or quote; only a violin accompanied him.
The only good news at that moment was that Zhou Qingfeng did not expect that Zetas would send the sniper. Zetas did not expect that they would get invaded. David Lawrence did very well last night, the entire Zetas was messed up by him.
However, as David Lawrence returned in the morning, he realized that the entire Kenney street was quiet. It was deathly quiet and it felt like a ghost town.
“Zetas was indeed trying to recover their power. They were transporting a large number of people through Brooklyn Bridge. The bridge was packed with people and there was at least ten thousand people.”
“Zetas lied to them. They told the people on the bridge that they’ve controlled the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. They would get a kilogram of gold if they joined the fight. I heard them from the loudspeaker: they said that the only currency in the last phase was gold and you can buy everything with gold.”
Once David Lawrence returned, he told his teammates about what he had heard and seen. However, Butcher did not seem very happy. He asked, confused, “Don’t you wanna know what happened here last night? Didn’t you hear the explosion? The screams? The flare in the skies?”
Butcher did not have a good impression of David Lawrence from the beginning. He said very rudely, “Based on what you told us, I only know that Zetas is not coming today. There would be a huge amount of people rushing here tomorrow.”
“You don’t have to be that negative. Don’t you know what I’ve done last night? I invaded the town hall that was occupied by Zetas. I’ve messed up the entire structure of their organization.”
“I think Zetas won’t be able to do anything today and tomorrow. After Mox goes through the underground tunnel tomorrow, we’ll get into the headquarters, get those powerful and strong equipments, and leave happily.”
David Lawrence was very confident about it.
“Egomaniac. The enemies won’t do what you think,” Butcher still did not give a sh*t.
Looking at Butcher’s unhappy face, David Lawrence could only change the topic and ask, “What about Victor? Where is he?”
“We were invaded last night and he’s outraged. You didn’t see his gloomy face; it felt like he was gonna kill everyone. He went to welcome his dog,” Butcher said.
David Lawrence had no idea what happened as Butcher’s words were very unclear. Meanwhile, Zhou Qingfeng was standing under the morning sun. The sunlight shone on his body that was filled with blood stains and dirt. From afar, a robotic dog was running happily towards him at high speed. It jumped onto Zhou Qingfeng.
Its light-hearted bark expressed its happiness. DogMeat kept running around Zhou Qingfeng while shaking its tail. That loyal dog was very attached to its owner.
“Stupid dog, how are you doing?” Zhou Qingfeng was very happy to see DogMeat too. Firstly, he took a detailed check of Dogmeat. He even checked if its fur had dropped.
Indeed, some of its furs did drop and there were a few bullet wounds on DogMeat. The bullets did not penetrate through the armored body, but a few holes could be seen on its body. Fortunately, the other parts were undamaged and worked perfectly.
“I’m gonna settle this bill with Lena Fox.” Zhou Qingfeng felt sorry for DogMeat, “Stupid dog, it’s your time to shine. I want you to go kill some annoying snipers.”
Zhou Qingfeng was very pissed off by the sniper team from Zetas. They attacked Zhou Qingfeng twice and brought a huge loss to Zhou Qingfeng every time. This time, Zhou Qingfeng specially called DogMeat over with the wireless radio and was ready to fight Zetas.
Meanwhile, Los Zetas was embarrassed. He listened to Jos last night and accepted the method of recruiting a huge amount of people from Brooklyn with gold. The result was unexpectedly good. Thousands of people rushed through Brooklyn Bridge after they received the notice.
There were more than ten thousand people. It was packed and they rushed through the bridge towards the town hall. Los Zetas was excited, but a little intimidated, as he will not be able to control so many people. He only had around three hundred core members and a lot of them were killed by Zhou Qingfeng yesterday.
It would be extremely difficult to control so many people. It was because Los Zetas realized that he could not supply them anything including food, drinks, and daily necessities.
Jos, the only man who was a little more capable of controlling and coordinating, was dead. The lewd man of around forty years old was standing and spreading propaganda in the middle of the town hall square. He was shot in the head by David Lawrence. Following that, the entire town hall became a mess and half the town hall was burned.
Los Zetas was lucky enough to survive, but he faced real trouble. His government ordinance would not work without Jos. It was an impossible mission to control a thousand paupers who were obsessed with money outside the town hall.
In the original plot of the movie, Zhou Qingfeng was not in the movie to block Kenney street and make trouble. In fact, the New York Republic was established and was on the right track of development. Los Zetas had a nice and relaxing three months until the nuclear war emerged. He was one of the strongest forces in Manhattan before that.
Unfortunately, the New York Republic was just about to be established but it was all messed up by Zhou Qingfeng. They could not develop their forces properly. At the moment, the most useful man under Los Zetas was dead; Zetas would not be able to become a local force anymore.
Guzman walked into Los Zetas’ office. He looked at the dead body of Jos and frowned. He walked towards Los Zetas and asked in a low voice, “Los, what should we do about the people out there?”
“We don’t have that many people to control them and they are starting to resist. They are robbing everywhere and our people dare not stop them as there are too many of them.”
They were worried when there was a lack of people. They were even more worried when there were too many people. At the moment, Los Zetas’ ambitions and dreams turned into a long sigh. In the end, he said aggressively, “Command them to Kenney Street. Tell them that there is a large amount of food and pretty girls. The accommodation has been arranged. Just tell them we’ve arranged a camping ground for them over there.”
“That’s it?” Guzman was astonished.
“Yeah, that’s it.” Los Zetas raised his head, growled, and his eyes looked wild and fierce. “Just simply let them go if we can’t control them. I don’t believe Victor Hugo would be able to defend against thousands of people. I want him to be dead!”
