Invasion of the United States

There will definitely be no beautiful woman throwing herself into your arms in the apocalypse, and no pies falling from the sky.

Want to kill your way through everywhere? How much strength do you think you have?

Survivors are all emaciated, suffering from hunger and cold, barely surviving through illness. If there's an adventure, it's definitely a trap.

Zhou Qingfeng now has billions of US Dollars, a wonderful life waiting for him, and he is the last person who wants the apocalypse to come.

"Hammer, don't rush, take your time to think." He placed a mango pudding in front of the old man, comforting softly, "Relax a bit, maybe the memory will come back by itself in a second."

Hammer nodded, still looking dazed, slowly picking up the spoon, scooping a bite of the pudding, the sweet taste melting in his mouth...

"Did you make this?" the old man asked.

"Of course not, Selena made it." Zhou Qingfeng answered, "She and Julia are like family to me now."

The old man was in a daze for a while, his hands shaking violently, exclaiming, "Maybe I have family too, I left the nursing home to find my family."

Hammer's phone had contact information for many 'friends', but no information about family. He asked his 'friends', but no one could provide specific details.

The 'friends' at the Department of Homeland Security could easily look up the background of 'Funeral Bell' Chris, but they couldn't say where Hammer's family was.

On the phone, a 'friend' expressed gently, "Hammer, you were once my superior, but I know very little about you.

Your parents passed away long ago, you have no siblings, you weren't married, no wife or children. At least, that's what the internal records show."

"Is that so? So I have no family." The old man fell silent, his face in pain.

The 'friend' perhaps couldn't bear it and offered comfort, "In our line of work, everyone has secrets.

If you really have family, only you would know.

But listen to my advice, give up. With your past experiences, not finding your family might be the best outcome.

After all, your enemies are not all dead."

Hammer was even more frustrated, "Something important must have happened, very important. But I forgot... everything."

Zhou Qingfeng sighed deeply.

The 'friend' then turned to talk to Zhou Qingfeng, "Victor, the new president was sworn in recently, causing layoffs in government departments and even the CIA is not exempt.

Although I am with the Department of Homeland Security, I feel the urgency as well.

If there are opportunities to make some extra cash, look for me. Some low-security databases, I can help you look up, the fee is very cheap.

Ten thousand US Dollars per time, definitely worth it."

What?

Zhou Qingfeng was quite confused.

The 'friend' continued, "As a billionaire with assets exceeding billions, you surely need professional bodyguards, right?

Recent agents laid off from the Special Service Bureau at the White House also need reemployment, would you consider hiring some?

Their average annual salary is about 150,000 US Dollars. You have money, so add a little more, 200,000 annual salary should be enough.

These are professionals with ten to twenty years of training, hire a few and your safety will increase significantly.

Also, laid-off CIA agents can do the dirty work for you, but their fee will be higher. But if there's trouble in the future, you don't need to get your hands dirty.

After all, like Hammer, you are someone who often gets into trouble."

Zhou Qingfeng, feeling sorry for the old man, now showed a 'question mark face', "Making extra cash and reemployment came to me?!"

"Because you have money!"

-----------------

Facing Hammer's amnesia dilemma, Zhou Qingfeng felt helpless. There was no other way but to patiently wait for the old man to slowly recall.

After spending five minutes on the balcony with Hammer, Zhou Qingfeng turned and knocked on Kelly's bedroom door.

Upon entering, he saw an acquisition assessment report about "Apocalypse Creatures" on the desk.

Kelly had just finished swimming, and after a quick rinse, she was in a nightgown, drying her hair with a blow dryer.

She pointed to the report on the desk, saying, "'Apocalypse Creatures' has gone bankrupt and is seeking asset reorganization, now is the best time to acquire it." C!he%ck! My V%i-rt&u.al L&ib+r-a+ry* Em*pire- (MV1L.EM%P&1YR&) for the l+a-t&e+s&t! u!p&d+at&e-s.^

This tech 'unicorn', once valued at over tens of billions of US Dollars, finally couldn't hold on after burning more than three billion US Dollars.

Zhou Qingfeng exposed the illegal human trafficking chain in White Beach Town, indirectly delivering a fatal blow to the stock price of 'Apocalypse Creatures'.

"My father holds 15% of the shares in 'Apocalypse Creatures', making him the largest shareholder, and he has consequently lost over 500 million US Dollars."

Kelly continued, "Now, acquiring the entire 'Apocalypse Creatures' can still be done at an 80% discount, but the board's asking price is over 1.5 billion US Dollars, and we have to take on its debt, which is not cost-effective.

So, I think we can wait a little longer, only acquiring its laboratories and some research results, taking in core researchers, and leaving the negative assets aside."

According to Kelly's plan, spending one billion US Dollars to acquire the quality assets of 'Apocalypse Creatures' would be ideal, and based on this, establishing 'Holy Light Creatures' controlled by Zhou Qingfeng.

The assessment report detailed all of 'Apocalypse Creatures' assets, with the quality parts specially marked.

After quickly browsing the report, Zhou Qingfeng felt hesitant—spend one billion US Dollars to buy it? A bit expensive!

He had a total of just over 1.5 billion US Dollars on hand, with more than 300 million being in a charity fund that couldn't be spent directly.

Though it's not unaffordable, throwing one billion US Dollars into a 'black hole' to buy a broken company... still quite heart-wrenching.

-----------------

Several days later, Zhou Qingfeng returned to White Beach Town as an acquirer, visiting the laboratories of 'Apocalypse Creatures' located outside the town.
