Chapter 89        Companions

Zhou Qingfeng was enjoying his breakfast during a wonderful morning when Butcher and the others called for help. Zhou Qingfeng, who was chewing a bread inside his mouth, felt curious, “How the hell did you guys manage to be trapped inside the subway? Are you out of your minds?”

Butcher, who looked like a barbarian, always acted before thinking. However, as a war veteran, he was naturally sensitive to danger and would try his best to avoid getting himself into trouble.

Katrina Riven, who had a pair of unbeatable strong legs, was much more powerful than Zhou Qingfeng when it came to the strength and speed of her legs. She usually ran around swiftly, and thus, it was very difficult for others to trap her.

Both Butcher and Katrina belonged to the ‘tough characters’ category. Therefore, Zhou Qingfeng had no idea how the hell they had ended up in the subway. The subway was now a large cemetery. Everyone inside the subway was blocked due to the huge number of derailments that occurred during the cataclysm.

As soon as they heard Zhou Qingfeng’s question, everyone seemed to have a belly full of repressed grief. It looked like nobody wanted to explain about their shameful situation. A moment later, a slick voice could be heard, "Hey, Hugo, it’s me. I’m Parker, Tony Parker. Actually, these little incidents happened because of me."

Zhou Qingfeng immediately realized everything when he heard the voice of Tony Parker. He cursed silently, You’re such a troublemaker. You’ve always caused big trouble!

Tony Parker continued, “Three days ago, you got yourself the robotic dog, am I right? I really think that those kinds of smart machines would be extremely useful in the near future. Suddenly, I recalled that there was also something similar in New York University that was located in Downtown Manhattan. Even though it’s not as good as DogMeat, I personally think that it’s not that bad too.”

“So, you’ve successfully laid your hands on it?” asked Zhou Qingfeng.

“Ha ha ha, how did you know that?” Tony Parker laughed triumphantly, “Yes, yes, I’ve indeed laid my hands on this machine named ‘Walker’. At that moment, there were also several groups of people who had the same plan that I had. Originally, I thought that I had no chance of getting that machine, but after all the hassle, it eventually became my entourage.”

Zhou Qingfeng immediately rolled his eyes when he heard what Tony Parker said. That bastard was born with the ‘lucky star’ ability. He was able to succeed in everything with ease and no one could take advantage of him. Although DogMeat was snatched by Zhou Qingfeng, he easily got himself Walker.

“If I’m not mistaken, the others are now chasing you because of Walker, am I right? Also, they must’ve been extremely unlucky and they probably encountered lots of difficulties while chasing you.”

“Hahaha... You’re right,” Tony Parker still remained cocky, but, his tone then changed quickly. He replied, frustrated, “However, we’ve been running all over the place to avoid being caught. Butcher also joined us during this period. At last, we had no choice but to hide inside the subway that was located under the Town Hall of Downtown Manhattan. Out of anger, people have decided to blow up the entrance of the subway. Now, we can’t escape.”

M*ther F*cker! You consider these small incidents? Zhou Qingfeng rubbed his forehead as he, too, did not know how to rescue them. He could only try asking, “Katrina, can’t you guys leave from the other direction of the subway?”

Katrina replied, “No, we can’t. The subway station in the entire New York has collapsed after the riot from a few days ago. Many accidents happened near the Town Hall Station. Many died and the entrances and exits of the subway were blocked. The bodies inside the subway have now even started to stink.”

“We’ve tried opening up the path, but we’ve found nothing except for the thousands of people who got trapped inside the subway. I hope that you can come and help not only me, but also the thousands of innocent citizens.”

Since when have I become a man they trusted deeply? Zhou Qingfeng cursed silently in disagreement, but, he thought of something even stranger. No way. David Lawrence was supposed to be the one who was responsible for the subway rescue operation. Why did they ask for my help instead?

David Lawrence created his first miracle in the cataclysm when he successfully found a way to rescue the citizens who were trapped inside the subway. It was his first step on the road to heroism. Since then, he began to imitate Lei Feng, the communist legend in China. He kept doing good deeds and appeared whenever he was needed.

Zhou Qingfeng asked, “Where’s David Lawrence?”

“I don’t know, David is not with us. We couldn’t contact him as well,” Katrina felt depressed as her crush was not around in her time of crisis.

You came to me because David Lawrence isn’t there with you? Zhou Qingfeng had a feeling that something was not right. But, he did not know what was wrong, specifically. Nothing went smoothly after his arrival to this world.

“But, Angie is with us,” said Katrina.

A weak voice could then be heard from the channel, “Hey, Victor, are you still alright?”

“Uh… I’m fine.” Zhou Qingfeng instantly became soft-hearted once he heard her soft voice. Actually…… he kind of liked Angie.

“You… You’ll save us, right?” Angie’s voice was a little hoarse. It seemed like she, too, had faced quite a bit of trouble in the past few days.

“Just wait patiently, I’ll think of a way.”

In fact, Zhou Qingfeng was clueless, too.

Before they ended the radio communication, Butcher said, “Victor, I’ve previously discussed with Katrina. She’s willing to join your and Lena’s team. It’s not just her, Mox has agreed, too. The bastard is now with us and we’re all trapped inside the subway.”

An ‘um’ could be heard from the radio. If Zhou Qingfeng was not mistaken, that voice belonged to Mox. That man’s voice was as sturdy as a rock. It was also as boring as a rock.

“Alright, Alright. I’ll find a way,” Butcher finally succeeded persuading Zhou Qingfeng. Katrina and Mox were both considerably strong teammates. They would not simply agree to join a group, but once they did, they would never go back on their words.

Zhou Qingfeng felt like he was truly extraordinary. He did not have the luck of the protagonist, all the subordinates which he had recruited were pretty useless, and he had to put in quite an effort in order to recruit extra companion. However, he felt relieved when he heard that Katrina and Mox agreed to join him. Both their personalities were much better than Butcher’s.

Zhou Qingfeng projected a virtual image of the detailed map of New York City. He started to look at the subway station and the other stations near the Town Hall Station. However, as he pondered over how to rescue the crowd, Katrina suddenly spoke again, “Victor, I heard from Butcher that you’re planning to occupy the NYPD headquarters. Is that for real?”

Zhou Qingfeng answered her, “That’s right. I’m extremely interested in the special vehicles and ammunition in the NYPD headquarters. For instance, the MRAP heavy-duty armored vehicle is such a beast!

“The traffic congestion in the streets of New York has been deteriorating every day. I could still drive the mobile command vehicle the day before yesterday, but it no longer works in the same way anymore. In order to continue driving on the streets, I’ll need a vehicle with stronger horsepower. The MRAP armored vehicle would be a good choice.”

“But, the current situation is extremely troublesome. More than a dozen buildings near the NYPD headquarters are occupied by a bunch of random guys. Anyone who tried to get close to them got shot to death. They were perhaps planning to get rid of the others before occupying the NYPD headquarters. It would be quite a task to eliminate all of them."

However, it seemed like Katrina did not care about what Zhou Qingfeng said. Instead, she reminded him, ‘What about entering the NYPD headquarters from the subway, have you ever thought of that?”

“What? Subway? Do you have any plans?”

"If you want me to help you, save me first, you idiot. Don’t forget to bring a lot of food, I’ve been hungry the whole day."
