Stronghold In The Apocalypse - Chapter 212 Washington

“How long till we reach Washington Gideon?” Leo inquired.

[ETA Forty Eight Hours and Thirty Seven Minutes, commander] Gideon’s voice echoed.

When Leo just had a day from arriving home, he suddenly received a distress signal from the US President whom he had given a device that would send him a distress signal in case he needed his help.

So Leo didn’t have any choice but to immediately change course towards Washington, and postpone his return.

After all, he didn’t want to lose a potential ally, and it’s not like it would be a big deal for him if he lends them small helping hand.

After all, he can’t help everyone who are still surviving in the other parts of the world, so he at least wanted to help people to as many as he could.

Leo had already briefed his parents, including Amanda and Michelle, which resulted in him getting scolded by them.

After all, all of them were expecting for him to go home, and not go somewhere again, especially Rachel as she’s swamped with so much work right now because of Leo.

“I wonder what problem they are facing right now for him to actually send a distress signal to me” Leo mumbled as he was curious what kind of threat they are facing right now, that forced the president to request for help.

After all, this is only a one time thing that Leo would provide help, and anything following that would depend on his mood and decision.

Meanwhile.

“Don’t let them break through the wall!” a blonde haired middle aged man yelled, as he sent a fireball towards the horde of zombie in front of him.

He is the president of the United States, President McKinley! He had already become a mutant throughout the few months that had gone by, and right now, he and his men are defending their community from the horde of zombies trying to scale their walls!

“Put everything you’ve behind you, we must not let them through, reinforcement is already on the way!” McKinley yelled at the top of his lungs, to boost the morale of his men.

‘Where are you now, Leo? I don’t think we’d be able to hold them off any longer’ McKinley thought worriedly, as their ammunitions are slowly running out, and the fatigue during these two day siege by the horde is already wearing them out.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

They have been besieged by the horde for two days straight now, and they had only been able to take some rest for two hours or three hours when the horde retreats.

The White House has become a mess with bullets and dead littered on the ground during this whole ordeal, this place was almost similar to that White House in the movie Resident Evil, that had become humanity’s last defense, and was surrounded by a multitude of zombies that’s constantly attacking them.

‘But what’s happening? Why aren’t there even a single mutant zombie attacking us?’ McKinley thought, as he had an uneasy feeling in his stomach.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

“Die motherf*cker!”

“Reloading!”

“Reloading!”

“Reloading!”

Rumble!

Suddenly, the horde started slowly receding like a tide, which is not the first time they had seen and experienced it.

“Haa~” McKinley sighed weakly, and the soldiers and defending survivors around him all breathed a sigh of relief, as their tense nerves finally relaxed.

“Tell our men to get as much rest as they can general” McKinley said to the youngest general beside him.

“Yes Mr. President!” the young general saluted and relayed the order to his men.

“Distribute dinner immediately” McKinley sighed as he slowly went down the stairs.

Women who didn’t participate in the defense earlier started distributing food and taking care of those wounded, sending them to the nearby tent acting as a small medic tent.

Some of the injured are screaming in horror while those who can’t stomach the sight in front of them had horrified looks on their faces.

“It hurts!”

“Just kill me please!”

“I’m gonna turn, I got bitten! Help! Please help me!”

McKinley just helplessly shook his head and headed to his own room, as he wanted to rest for as much as possible before the horde would attack again.

‘We need to hold on’ he thought, as he just fell on his bed, already asleep.

Creak~

A few moments later, the door to his room slowly opened, and then someone wearing a white coat softly walked inside and stood before McKinley, and then the person suddenly took out something and softly inched closer to the sleeping president.

“Get as much rest as you can dear” a red head woman softly whispered, as she covered him in a soft blanket, and then took off his boots before leaving the room

Meanwhile.

“How long till we arrived at the destination Gideon?” Leo said as he checked his [Map], as he saw that they are flying really fast towards Washington.

“Good” Leo smiled, as he internally prepared himself while closing his eyes.

Two minutes later.

“Were here” Leo muttered under his breath, and through the window, he saw how the situation below is getting worse.

The southern east side of the wall is about to overrun by horde soon, and he saw armed survivors and soldiers hurrying over to the soon to be breach wall.

Because the [Winter] had activated its cloaking device and currently hovering in the air in less than a thousand feet from the ground, no one was able to spot and even them from below.

“Hover above that place” Leo ordered, as he gestured towards the southern east side of the walled community.

The [Winter] immediately hover over at the location, and Leo walked at the back at the back and opened a small hatch door.

“I’ll be leaving first” Leo said.

[Goodluck commander] replied Gideon.

Leo jumped off as he rides the wind by spreading his limbs like he was skydiving, then his eyes narrowed as he started freediving towards the ground like a falling meteor by sticking his limbs together and his head going down first!

Swoosh!

The wind was blasting through his body, as he squinted his eyes and maneuvered his body to move towards his desired landing spot.

And when he was five hundred meters from reaching the ground.

“[Armor]!” Leo yelled through gritted teeth, as his body was immediately covered by a sleek red armor.

“Sword!” Leo yelled as his huge sword immediately appeared in his hands.

Now, his speed have become even faster because of the increased from his [Spartan Armor] and Titanium Greatsword.

Swoosh!

*****

“Don’t falter!” McKinley yelled loudly, as he kept sending fireballs after fireballs, and then he immediately switched to using an M1 Garand and started shooting the zombies that managed to scale and breached the southeastern wall.

“Sir! Above us!”

Suddenly a soldier beside him yelled in shock and pointed towards the sky.

“What the f*ck!?” McKinley cursed as he didn’t expect to see what he’s seeing right now.

BOOM!

“Ahh!”

“Take cover!”

“Retreat at the back, now!”

The thing then landed in front of them, as it created a powerful explosion, killing the zombies around that was charging towards them and it even destroyed a portion of their wall.

Dust billowed everywhere, the sounds of fighting even momentarily stopped as they looked at the scene in shock.

*Cough* *Cough* *Cough*

Some started coughing as they inhaled some of the dust, as they immediately backed away, and continued to pick off the lone zombies moving towards them.

“My””My”

“You really got yourselves in a huge trouble this time Mr. President” a familiar voice suddenly sounded from within the dust cloud, as a familiar silhouette slowly appeared before them.

“Leo! You’re finally here!”

McKinley face immediately brightened when his gaze landed on that familiar silhouette as he immediately shouted in joy!

And those soldiers and generals familiar with Leo immediately sighed in relief, as their faces immediately eased up a bit, but those people who aren’t in the know are shocked at the huge figure in front of them!

“Oh my goodness! Did he just came from the sky!?”

“T-this is amazing! Who is this person and what is that thing he’s wearing!? Is that a freaking armor or something!?”

“Snap out of it and focus on killing the zombies! Don’t let them advance further! Reinforcement is finally here!” one the generals immediately yelled at them, as he strode forward and started shooting at the incoming wave of zombies!

“UOOH!”

The defending survivors yelled, all of them filled with vigo
