the world is at stake

He was hungry, very hungry.The dizziness from hypoglycemia made it hard for him to think.His sense of smell suddenly became extremely developed, searching for food like a hound.

There are dozens of people working and living in the underground laboratory, and it is not allowed to leave here at will, so there is a special restaurant.There are piles of quick meals in the fridge and plenty of drinks and energy bars.

The underground electricity has not been cut off, and Zhou Qingfeng can still use the processed food in the microwave oven.The hunger made him ignore the external danger, and he seized the time to eat like a glutton.

The time that followed became extremely boring.

Deputy Chief Harden on the ground became calm, and Zhou Qingfeng thought that the other party would organize personnel to carry out an assault again.But in fact, hour after hour passed, and nothing happened.

Zhou Qingfeng had to eat one meal every hour, his metabolism speed was obviously accelerated, and he ran back and forth between the restaurant and the toilet.He supplemented a lot of protein and carbohydrates but did not gain weight. He only felt that his muscles were getting stronger and his physique was surpassing many limits.

One hour, ten hours, one day, two days passed.

What Zhou Qingfeng ate and drank didn't look like he was performing an extreme task of life and death, but like a dead house squatting at home, drinking happy water and eating all kinds of junk food.

In the process, he also tried to find other ways to escape, but all failed.

The ventilation ducts in the lab are large enough to climb into.But the complex air disinfecting system cut off this passage, and no one can get out.

Underground buildings generally have complex drainage pipes, but laboratory waste water is highly dangerous, and is usually treated by high-temperature incineration, and the residue is compressed and then transported away.

No matter how you think about it, the laboratory is a completely closed environment, and there is no way to escape.

Just when Zhou Qingfeng was wondering if he was going to try to break out with his strengthened body, a muffled rumbling sound suddenly came from the quiet ground.

It's a blast!

at the laboratory entrance.

Zhou Qingfeng ran over vigilantly with his gun in his hand, thinking he would see enemies swarming in, but he saw that the stairwell leading to the ground was completely blown up, and the broken reinforced concrete blocks completely blocked the way out.

Fuck!

Why do this?

The stable power supply in the underground laboratory also stopped, and the backup power supply took over, but it was cut off after a while.Only some emergency lights were still on.

Zhou Qingfeng's head was full of question marks, he couldn't understand it at all, and he was stunned on the spot - who would demolish the house just because an enemy entered the house?

But that's not all.

Then the explosions continued.

The underground space is repeatedly shaking, breaking, and falling.

This level of destruction is not just blowing up a passage leading to the ground, it is clearly blasting the entire private prison.

God!

Is anyone crazy?

Zhou Qingfeng was like a panicked fish swimming underground, scurrying back and forth.He quickly ran back to his 'safe house', and then watched the ceiling of the laboratory collapse, crushing everything.

Unbelievably, the people on the ground are really demolishing houses.

The 'Safe Room' is a storage room in the underground laboratory.Due to the large amount of dangerous goods stored, there are thick load-bearing structures and strong safety doors.

Zhou Qingfeng cleaned out the dangerous goods and brought in a large amount of supplies.He intends to fight tenaciously here, kill one to make money, and kill two to make money.Unexpectedly, the enemy did not play cards according to common sense, and the 'safe house' became his refuge.

The rumbling explosion on the ground lasted for about a minute, and the ground was either collapsed or filled with thick dust.Zhou Qingfeng could only wear a breathing mask and was trapped in a dark and claustrophobic narrow environment.

Fortunately, the 'safe house' was indeed safe, and the overall blasting failed to blow it up.Unfortunately Zhou Qingfeng was buried alive.

"It's not necessary. Just to deal with me, those scumbags who lived like dogs destroyed their own home."

"Or this underground laboratory has been exposed, and it was simply destroyed in order to get rid of the guilt. It's like the 'fire dragon burns the warehouse' from time to time in the grain depot in the past."

"But what year is it now? This kind of bad trick is not effective at all. If you really need to investigate, the ruins can also be dug up. 'Fire Dragon Burning Cang' can also figure it out."

The top of the storage room collapsed in half, dropping a lot of debris.Zhou Qingfeng's head was covered with bags, and his range of activities dropped to a few square meters.But there is no shortage of supplies around him.There is a complete range of food and drink, even oxygen cylinders for breathing.

There is just no way out.

Wow... It's too miserable to be buried alive and wait to die slowly.

Holding a crowbar, Zhou Qingfeng frantically poked around in the narrow space.

Relying on the illumination of the hand-held emergency light, above his head were hundreds of thousands of tons of building ruins, and steel bars burst out of the wall, twisted like twists.

Even if the gods come, there is no way to escape.

The gnats tossed about like shaking a big tree for a long time, hungry.

Zhou Qingfeng had nothing to gain except to make a dirty face.He couldn't figure out why the enemy wanted to bury him alive, couldn't figure out why they wanted to destroy the entire private prison, and couldn't figure out what happened outside?

Sitting sleepily thinking about it for hours.

Zhou Qingfeng relied on the hoarded food to fill his stomach, and in the end he could only lie on the floor waiting to die.

But when he woke up again after sleeping, he found that he was not stuffy underground, and there was even air circulation.At first he thought there was a gap between the collapsed ruins above his head, but soon realized...

It's under the ass.

By the way, the underground laboratory is not the bottom of the private prison.There is no sewage pipe connecting the laboratory with the outside world, but the prison does.

Suddenly Zhou Qingfeng was overjoyed, like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw.He held his breath, listened carefully, and used his greatly improved hearing to search.

Sure enough... There was a slight sound of water running under the floor.

Pulling apart the broken bricks of the wall, Zhou Qingfeng took the emergency light and found a crack in the ground that was cracked by the blast.Air leaks out from the cracks in the ground.

There is no way to heaven!

This seam should lead to the underground pipeline of the prison.

Zhou Qingfeng slammed the crowbar into the ground, and suddenly pried open the large floor tiles.He was suddenly full of energy, wanting to break through the crack in the ground for escape.

Chapter 008 Get Out

The strengthened body turned into a humanoid excavator. Zhou Qingfeng dug in the dark underground for half a month with endurance two or three times higher than ordinary people and explosive power ten times higher.

Even with intermittent use, the power of the emergency light was exhausted on the fifth day.For the next time, he moved like a mole in the ground.

Continuous high-intensity labor consumes a lot of energy, and requires high-calorie food to maintain it.The drinking water collected from the laboratory was exhausted on the tenth day, and the food was consumed on the No. 13th day.

Fortunately, the crowbar made of alloy steel was of excellent quality, and Zhou Qingfeng did not end up digging with his own two hands.But his clothes became tattered and lost during the excavation process, and in the end he couldn't even keep his underpants.

There is no light in the ground, not a shred of it.

Zhou Qingfeng fumbled entirely by hearing, looking for the intermittent airflow in the cracks in the ground.He even lost the sense of time because of this, but when the crowbar pierced through the wall of the underground sewage channel, the joy at that moment was enough to reward the hardships of the past half month.

When his eyes saw the light again, it was under the rainwater drainage ditch hundreds of meters away from the private prison.For the first time, he felt that the starlight at night was so charming, and the earthy smell from the grass was so fresh.

Pushing away the iron gate of the sewage ditch, Zhou Qingfeng who popped out vigilantly scanned for any movement within tens of meters.He didn't forget that he was still in the predicament of being arrested.

Don't work so hard for half a month, and get caught when you come out, it's too sad.

There are only monotonous insects and wind outside the sewage ditch, and there are no signs of human activities, whether visual, auditory or olfactory.He waited patiently for over an hour before emerging from the ground.

After half a month of hard work, people were reborn.

Zhou Qingfeng under the moonlight reveals a body cast in copper and iron.He was as dirty as a homeless man, his messy hair was covered with gray, but his sharp-edged muscles contained great strength.

He came out 'frankly', identified the direction by the starry sky, stepped on the weeds, passed through the trees, and headed towards the direction of the private prison.

Many of the prison's alarms and surveillance equipment remain in the woodlands, but most are no longer working.To be exact, there is no electricity.There are many leaves falling on the forest road, and it seems that the daily patrol has long since ceased.

When the last branch was pushed aside, Zhou Qingfeng saw the messy building ruins under the moonlight.The outer barbed wire, surveillance towers, and cameras are still there, but the back-shaped prison inside has completely collapsed.

It was very quiet at night, and the shadows of the ruins under the moonlight were changing and shaking, as if hiding a terrible demon.But when you get closer, you will find that it is just a twisted appearance of damaged sundries.

why?

The cost of this prison is at least 5000 million U.S. dollars, and the underground secret laboratory has a lot of cutting-edge equipment, and the value is calculated in "billions".Something happened that made the director decide to abandon this place, and to destroy it by blasting.

Zhou Qingfeng was extremely puzzled by this.

The main body of the prison was destroyed, but some auxiliary facilities around it remained.For example, there are some huts in the forest that are specially used for guards to patrol and rest, but they have been abandoned at will.

Zhou Qingfeng found some ordinary coats to avoid the embarrassment of running naked.Some canned foods are just for eating.He even found a battered pickup.

Prison guards were in a hurry as they evacuated.The underground laboratory worth hundreds of millions can be discarded, and the scrapped and broken cars will not be taken away.

But the fuel tank of this car was full, and it could still be driven after ignition, which became Zhou Qingfeng's means of transportation.

Rifles, body armor, night vision goggles, pistols, gear, flashlights, all kinds of odds and ends, plus a broken car.These became all his present property.

But these did not give Zhou Qingfeng much sense of security.His area is only tens of kilometers away from the CIA Langley headquarters, and it is also very close to Washington, the capital of the United States.He is well aware of how powerful a violent system his opponent is.

It was a great fortune to be able to escape from the underground, but the concealment and low profile allowed him to continue to live.

"The radio in this wrecked car is actually broken."

Zhou Qingfeng drove on the road, and after playing with it, he found that he could not obtain the current information in time.Trying to recall the map in his head, he decided to head west on Highway 211.

"I hope I don't meet the old American Highway Patrolman."

Zhou Qingfeng exposed himself voluntarily, without any identification on him.All his information, including his profile picture, must have been on the intranet of the US law enforcement agency.This will make it difficult for him to move an inch.

The broken pickup truck ran for a long time, and drove into a gas station after dawn.

When Zhou Qingfeng searched the underground laboratory, he got a lot of cash from the corpse.This is his action habit, and he has not forgotten it even when he is in Jedi.

There is a convenience store attached to the gas station, and behind the cash register is a wizened middle-aged woman.

She was watching TV, when she heard the doorbell ring, she glanced warily at Zhou Qingfeng, who looked like a homeless man, reached out and touched under the counter, and asked, "Boy, what do you want?"

Law and order in old America is notoriously poor, and it is common for gangsters to rob gas stations.Zhou Qingfeng bet there was a loaded shotgun under the cash register.

He opened his hands so that the woman at the cashier could see the cash in his hand, stopped about three meters away from the cashier, and said, "Don't be nervous, I want to buy some food and water."

Perhaps it was because the Asian faces seemed less aggressive, the middle-aged woman nodded, "Choose yourself."

Zhou Qingfeng asked again: "Where is the bathroom? I need to wash my face."

Seeing the unkempt boy in front of her, the middle-aged woman asked with concern, "What's wrong with you?"

"I was robbed and met a bunch of thugs. I almost lost my life."

"Oh... there have been too many things recently. Since the White House declared a 'national emergency', law and order have deteriorated a lot."

Um……?

Zhou Qingfeng glanced left and right, and soon saw the newspaper rack at the cash register.He bought some food and drink, went to the bathroom to clean up, filled up the gas tank, took a few newspapers and returned to the broken pickup.

The front page of the "Washington Post" - "Unknown virus is spreading in many states, and epidemic prevention policies are difficult to implement."

"New York Times" front page - 'Democrats slam White House, see 'national emergency' as a shameless act of unwillingness to accept election defeat'.

The front page of the "Los Angeles Times" - "The so-called new virus is a conspiracy of the Republican Party, and democratic politics is facing serious challenges."

What the hell are the Americans doing?

Zhou Qingfeng looked in the car in a daze, wondering whether he had missed something special during the half month underground.He got out of the car again, went to the convenience store to exchange coins, and dialed a special number with the public phone at the gas station.

After the bell rang three times, Zhou Qingfeng hung up.After waiting for a while, someone called back.He picked up the microphone and said in English, "I'm Victor."

A flat reply came from the phone, "Hello, Victor. What can I do for you?"

"I want to see my cousin, is he free?" Zhou Qingfeng switched to Spanish again.

The other party asked: "Your cousin is not in good health, I'm afraid it's not good."

"So what about my cousin?" This time it switched to Cantonese.

The content of the call is unimportant, but the agreed secret is on the right track.

The phone hung up again, and it took a while to call back.The other party had obviously changed, and asked in a hasty and suspicious tone, "Zhou Qingfeng?"

"it's me."

"You're not dead?"

"Do you want me to die?"

"you succeeded?"

"That's it."

The other party was silent for a few seconds, "The situation has changed, we need to talk face to face."

Chapter 009 Connectors

After hanging up the phone, I couldn't calm down.

Back at the broken pickup, Zhou Qingfeng carefully read the news pages of several newspapers.He is a latent personnel who does 'wet work' and has only one-line contact with his superiors.But who the superior is, he has no idea at all.

Never met.
