Chapter 91 - War
"Urgh!" he was surprised as the jab landed on his jaw. Luckily, there was support not far from where he stands, which gives Donald Mckenzie the chance to keep conscious before he fell to the ground.
'Did - Did I just get an uppercut from an amateur?' he was asking himself. Throughout the battle of one against four, not even one of them managed to deal a heavy blow like this.
But right now, he was actually caught unaware.
In any fist fighting, getting an uppercut straight to his jaw could be what his opponent needs to take him down. Not even an expert boxer dare to say he's capable of taking an attack like this repeatedly.
There was a slight wobble as he tried to keep himself awake. Feeling slight dizziness in his eyes, Donald Mckenzie tries to keep himself awake while making sure his eyes were at Zhang Qin Feng.
'Wow... His reaction is priceless...' Zhang Qin Feng held it in as he was caught surprised by what happened to Donald Mckenzie after his uppercut managed to connect to the opponent's jaw.
"Heh... It was just a lucky strike. Shall we keep it going?" Donald Mckenzie taunted Zhang Qin Feng as he stays on where he's at. It seems he's getting extremely cautious at Zhang Qin Feng right now.
[Toot... There was a hint of unsure in his tone. His defeat is imminent if nothing is surprising happened before he was taken down on his knees]
Stein's reply made Zhang Qin Feng understand how crucial it is to maintain concentration in a battle like this.
"Yah!" he took a few steps forward and delivered a few punches at Donald, who had his back half step before the wall.
Raising both of his hands to protect his head, all he could do was defend himself until his brain no longer shaking from the concussion he gets from that uppercut.
It was a battle to see who was faster. Either Zhang Qin Feng breaking Donald Mckenzie's defense, or the latter recovered first.
The fighting continued for another three minutes until Lightbulb got impatient and opened the door to come in to help. This ended up helping Donald Mckenzie as he was less than ten steps away from the shutter.
"Close the shutter, idiot!" Captain Hu shouted with whatever strength he still has.
"Ah?" Lightbulb was caught unaware as he was still halfway through the shutter.
And before he could react, Donald Mckenzie already took the chance to grabbed Zhang Qin Feng using a bear-hug and drags him for a roll on the ground. Since Donald Mckenzie was much muscular than Zhang Qin Feng, the action he took ended up leading Zhang Qin Feng along.
When they were getting closer to the shutter, Donald released Zhang Qin Feng from his grasp. Using the momentum with both hands over Zhang Qin Feng's shoulder, Donald Mckenzie tossed Zhang Qin Feng over at the shutter.
"Urgh!" it ends with a bang. The impact from slamming onto the metal shutter was not painful, but falling from half a meter above the ground while facing down was the killing move.
Zhang Qin Feng felt that the bones and joints all over him were close to breaking as he fell on the ground like an egg.
'Urgh... This is painful. Shit, can't let him go.' Zhang Qin Feng quickly struggles to get on his feet as he crawled out of the shutter. As there was no choice for him to take this without a firearm, the Phalanx appeared out of thin air as Zhang Qin Feng fired a shot at Donald Mckenzie's thigh.
*Miss!*
*Miss!*
*Miss!*
"Shit!" Zhang Qin Feng cursed as he gave a chase. But it was too late. The latter successfully escaped as he got on the car he hidden near the workshop beside and drove away in a rush.
"Mr. Zhang, did you get him?" Captain Hu came out half a minute later. Looking at how Zhang Qin Feng was standing at the place and catching up his breath, it was evident that Donald Mckenzie has escaped.
The other three went over to the Lightbulb to taught him a lesson for opening the shutter without getting their permission.
"What's your plan now?" Captain Hu asked. Since this place already got visited by one of the leaders of the Horus Eye Mercenaries, it means this building will be compromised soon. Perhaps, even their identity will be thoroughly scanned by the time they took to plan their next step.
"My next step? Abandon the base. We'll attack tomorrow. Take a good rest for now. Is it possible for you to get me a ride back to my studio apartment?" Zhang Qin Feng asked.
"That won't be a problem, but what about your equipment here? And the firearms?" Captain Hu asked if he needs to arrange a ride for them to move the equipment away.
"No. You guys leave first. Tell the driver to pick me up at the broken drinking fountain near the abandoned factory after twenty minutes. I'll grab a few essentials and make my way there. You guys should leave first." Zhang Qin Feng said.
"Alright. Guys, let's go." Captain Hu did not ask too much but decided that it should be wise for him to follow Zhang Qin Feng's instructions.
After making sure that they left, Zhang Qin Feng traveled into the post-apocalypse without notice and appeared silently at where the Reprinter Unit was parked. Some essential equipment was dropped here as he makes a few trips in and out between the two worlds.
Leaving the place in a hurry after moving the essential hardware, Zhang Qin Feng makes his way to his ride. He ordered the driver to take a longer route before they drove past the motorway back into the Southern District.
"Just follow my instruction." Zhang Qin Feng said as he turned his eyes at the business zone where the workshop was located further inside.
As the car drove past the area, a section of the business zone went into flames.
[Toot... The system's prediction is spot on. Will the user proceeds with the preparation to attack the Horus Eye's HQ after eight hours?]
'Execute it. I'll make sure I slaughter these people.' Zhang Qin Feng's eyes changed as he feels it was time to put his conscience aside. After what they did today, it means war.
