Stronghold In The Apocalypse - Chapter 213 Strategic Retreat!

“I’ll defend this section of the wall, you guys just focus on defending the other places” Leo walked towards the McKinley and said, as his head kept moving around, observing the place.

“Don’t worry, no zombies would able to pass here with me defending”

McKinley was about to open his mouth, but Leo just cut him off, as he already knew what he was about to say.

“Alright” McKinley didn’t have a choice but to trust him, after all, they are the ones imposing on him to help them.

“General Arthur, send the remaining to the three defensive positions, we’ll leave this section to our friend” McKinley ordered a general around mid fifties.

“But-”

McKinley immediately eyed him, so the general just shut his mouth and immediately executed the order as he ordered one of his soldiers to execute the order to the others.

Leo pretended to have not seen it, and just continued his observation inside the community.

‘All of them are with weapons that dates back to World War II. I’m surprised that they still have a lot that they are able to arm every single of the people here’ Leo thought when he saw that all of the defending are all armed with firearms.

“I’ll leave this place to you then” McKinley said to Leo, as he was also trying to observe him, sadly for him, he can’t see anything behind that armor of Leo.

“Don’t worry, I didn’t come here to play around” Leo replied, as he turned around, as started walking towards the breach on the wall.

“Mr. President, can we trust the man?” the old general earlier, said to McKinley when Leo is already a bit far from them.

“We don’t have any choice, you yourself should know the predicament we’re currently facing, and if we don’t end this siege soon, then all hope would be lost” McKinley sighed weakly.

The other high ranking officers around him gulped, the horde aren’t really the problem here, but the mutated zombies that haven’t made their appearance yet, and what also unsettles them is the lack of presence of mutated beast that should’ve been keeping this zombies at bay.

It was like there was a non verbal agreement between both parties to not attack each other.

After all, most of the mutated beast aren’t hostile towards the humans, except for other mutated beast that truly knows how to hold a grudge against them!

After all, there were also a lot of abused animals that mutated and gained incredible strength, and that they would kill any humans in sight, because in their eyes, every human is the same, despicable and evil!

“But did he really come alone?” one of the men suddenly said, which only now did the others also noticed that Leo really came alone.

They started looking at each other, showing a concerned look on their faces, while McKinley just smiled at them and said, “He alone is enough, now get moving! We need to make sure the other places doesn’t get breach!”

“”Yes sir!””

Meanwhile.

“This is weird” Leo said, as he stood on top of the rubble of the former wall, as he continued swinging his sword, killing wave after wave of zombies that’s trying to attack him through the destroyed part of the wall.

“How come there’s only ordinary zombies here?”

“Now that I think about it, I haven’t even spotted a single mutant beast when I was in the air earlier”

Leo was mumbling to himself, as he ignored those amazed gazes directed towards him.

Leo then gripped tightly on his sword, and sent a powerful horizontal slash!

Slash!

There was so much force behind his slash that it naturally created a blade made from the wind, and it slashed passed through rows and rows of zombies, decapitating all the zombies it passed through into half!

Then he suddenly deactivated his [Spartan Armor], as it reverted back into its metallic wristband form.

Then he raised his hand towards the sky, and mumbled something under his breath, and two rifts suddenly appeared behind him, and under the shocked gaze of the people near him, two huge mutated beasts walked out, one huge black lion and one silverback ape!

Roar! Roar!

Both monsters bellowed with a roar as they stopped out, the silverback ape drummed his chest as it roared loudly while the black lion stretched its back and released a deafening powerful roar!

“Mutant Beasts!” someone screamed in shock.

“Focus on the damn things in front of you! Don’t mind what’s happening around you, unless you want to die!” a soldier yelled at them, after all, there are too many zombies scaling the wall, that a moment of distraction could result in one of them dying.

“Go! Clean up the zombies!” Leo slashed his hand downward and shouted.

Roar~!

The Silverback Ape slammed the ground with his fist as he leapt over the wall, while the demonic black lion just easily jumped over.

Both mutated beasts started a one sided massacre, as the mutant gorilla just rammed through the horde of zombies as it circled around the wall, while the black also did the same thing but would claw and bite off the zombies that’s on its way.

A reverberating cheer sounded throughout the place, as the soldiers and survivors alike cheered in joy when they saw the two mutated beasts trampling over the horde of zombies like they were nothing.

At first, they were shocked to see two unfamiliar mutant beasts suddenly appearing from out of nowhere, but their shock was immediately turned into joy as they could finally hope of this war ending between the living and the dead ending.

Leo wasn’t worried about the two monsters, after all, those two are boss level monsters that could even fight a [Darkseeker] by themselves, so dealing with these small fries would be a piece of cake.

Leo put his sword away, and pulled out his two pistols from his thigh and started shooting the zombies as he started to slowly move forward.

“Hmm?” Leo suddenly raised an eyebrow as he noticed multiple zombies appearing on the [Map].

“I remember there’s an underground train there before” Leo mumbled.

“Ahh, I see, so the [Map] can’t detect them because they’ve been hiding underground, so that’s where these mutated zombies have been hiding all these time” Leo clicked his tongue when he finally realized why these zombies weren’t showing on the map earlier.

“Shade! Take over my place here!” Leo yelled loud, as he immediately disappeared towards where the mutated zombies are appearing one after another.

Shade immediately came over to fill the gap, the moment Leo left, those survivors who were watching him were suddenly dumbfounded as they didn’t expect him to suddenly leave and even left the protection of the vulnerable part of the wall to his mutated beast.

Ratatata~!

“S-should we send a group over there sir?” someone worriedly asked.

“No need, the mutated beast can handle it” a soldier shook his head when he looked over and saw that not even a single zombies was able to get passed the huge mutant black lion.

Meanwhile.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

“You said he suddenly left, and left his position to a mutated beast?” McKinley asked the soldier in front of him.

“Yes sir, it seems he discovered something” the soldier carefully said.

“Alright, you can go back” McKinley said, as he continued to observe the movements of the zombies below them.

He doesn’t really care if Leo left, what he only cares about right now is the safety of this community, and he doesn’t have the luxury to meddle into someone else’s business right now.

Meanwhile.

“I can’t let these zombies reach the community or else, I would these precious source of experience! I need to get more level!”

“Time is slowly running out, I can’t continue wasting my time looking after my camps and building other communities”

Leo said, as he stood atop a building as he gazed down below the growing horde of mutated zombies, as they slowly walked out from the underground metro.

Leo then wore his [Spartan Armor] and then took out four grenades from his [Inventory], he took out their pins by biting them between his teeth and threw them like a baseball towards the direction the gathering of the mutated horde.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

He then jumped off from the ten story building and pulled out his sword in mid-air!

“[Sword..]” Leo yelled as he dropped down towards the ground, and his sword was immediately covered in crimson flames!

“[Quake]!”

Kaboom!

Leo slashed a [Tanker] Zombie into half and slammed his sword on the ground, producing a powerful explosion, as powerful as twenty or more grenades going off at the same time that it even produced a mini mushroom cloud!

“W-what’s happening!?”

“There was a huge explosion over there!”

“My god, that’s where the man with a huge sword on his back earlier went off to!”

“T-this…the zombies are retreating!”

The defending survivors felt the shaking of the ground, the moment the explosion occurred, but what shocked them is the attacking zombies horde suddenly retreated and started making their way towards the direction of the explosion!

“What is happening?” McKinley immediately inquired to a nearby soldier when he heard and saw the explosion.

“Report from the southeast wall, the explosion happened at where Mr. Leo headed to earlier sir!”

McKinley raised an eyebrow, then he turned his head towards the retreating horde as he suddenly thought of something, “I see”

“Mr. President, there is only one reason for the horde to suddenly retreat” a nearby soldier said, as he also realized something.

“Uhmm” McKinley nodded, “It means he either found the one controlling the horde or he discovered something like a nest”

“But I doubt that it’s nest, so it must be the former then”

“Immediately send a group to take care of the breached wall, and had them to create a stopgap wall at the same time, just enough to stop a few zombies from going in!” he said to the soldier he was talking to earlier.

“Yes sir!” the man saluted and immediately left, as he ran towards the direction of where the survivors who provides support are, mostly engineers and carpenters who can’t handle using a firearm.

Meanwhile.

“Hmmp!” Leo snorted as he was forced to jump back.

“Human! You..die!” a towering [Darkseeker] bellowed in anger.

While Leo made a hasty retreat, as he jumped over the heads or shoulders of the zombies.

“After him!” the huge [Darkseeker] bellowed, and the fastest mutated zombies the [Hunters], immediately went after Leo.

“Hmmp!” Leo just snorted, and slashed a [Hunter] that caught up to him into two.

‘He’s a bit stronger than me and had more helpers so I need to lure him and fight him in a more spacious space, without too much interference’ Leo thought as he looked behind him and saw numerous zombies chasing behind him, but the most noticeable among them is that huge, three meter tall [Darkseeker], who is slowly closing the distance between them.
