Stronghold In The Apocalypse - Chapter 218 He's Family

A couple of days later.

Whooze! Whooze! Whooze!

“It seems they’re here Mr. President,” Leo said as he slowly walked out of the Oval Office, with McKinley walking beside him, who is currently looking at the two ships hovering above them in amazement.

Sometimes, McKinley really wonders where this man called Leo got his futuristic-looking aircraft and would have that urge to want to ask him for it, but he didn’t bother asking Leo in the end as he knows that a man with a lot of secrets wouldn’t tell you anything, especially now that they are not a superpower anymore with how the world had already turned out to be.

After dropping the battle tanks they were carrying onto another spot, the two PELICANS carrying the two battle tanks slowly landed in an open space in the middle of the walled community, and the place suddenly started getting packed with people who surrounded it and curiously looking at the two armed futuristic-looking aircraft.

“I’ve seen those ships multiples times already, but I still can’t help but feel amazed looking at it every time”

“Yeah, the person who made this must be really a genius. After all, this kind of ship clearly came from a game, but they still managed to make something similar to it in real life”

“Dang it, I really want to feel how to fly in one of these things”

Tsschh~! Tsschh~!

Both of the hatches on the back of the two ships opened at the same time, while the people around the ships opened a path for Leo and McKinley.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Four soldiers wearing an exoskeleton suit similar to what Tom Cruise wore in the movie Edge of Tomorrow came down walking from the two ships.

Leo and McKinley and a few of his trusted aides came before the two PELICANS, and the four soldiers quickly came over before Leo and saluted.

“Sir!”

Leo saluted back before putting it down, then he turned around towards McKinley with a huge smile on his face.

“So how about it? Shall we go see them?”

“Sure, we’d really love to see them right now,” McKinley said, then turned he turned towards his men standing from behind him, then turned back to Leo and said, “You wouldn’t mind that I bring some of my men to inspect the goods, right?”

“Sure, it’s no problem at all”

Then Leo led McKinley and the others towards the two Battle Tanks that the two PELICANS brought, and tagging along with Leo is one of the four soldiers earlier wearing the Exoskeleton Suit.

Then some of the soldiers in the community made the crowds disperse and had them continue their chores around the camp.

And fortunately, the camp is back again in normal with the debris and the bodies fully cleaned up after the horrifying battle that happened a couple of days ago, and even if some of them are still mourning for the loved ones they had lost during that event, but deep inside them, they know that they need to continue to go on living and be strong for the sake of the people who died to protect this place, which they now call home.

And the appearance of Leo and his men lifted up their spirits, especially when they heard that they would be getting two new Battle Tanks and a lot of weapons which would give their home another layer of protection, making their anxious hearts feel at ease at the thought of having new weapons.

While Leo and the others are making their way over to where the two Battle Tanks are placed, the soldiers who were left behind in the two ships started unloading small cargo boxes on the ground which are full of the promised weapons that Leo made to McKinley during their deal, and a couple of moments later, Alex came down from one of the PELICANS.

And the man started making his way over towards Leo and the rest.

“Is he a Hundred Weapons Master or something?” one of the residents quickly noticed him and said those words in astonishment, as he looked disbelievingly at the multiple weapons strapped around Alex’s body.

“A huge ass looking rifle, a row of grenades and a grenade launcher, a pair of pistols along with a pair of Samurai swords strapped on both sides of his waist, and are those throwing knives strapped around his legs? F*ck, this person really knows how to survive in this mess up world” a soldier couldn’t help but curse in envy while looking at Alex.

Alex would give a short nod to the people that he would pass by, and the people would just give him a stiff nod in response because of the stern aura around him.

“Is he a General or something? Only the Generals and sometimes the President would look and feel cold like that”

Meanwhile.

Leo and the others who were watching the soldiers inspect the two tanks heard the small commotion from behind them, and when they turned around, the first thing that they noticed was a cold looking man heading towards their direction.

“Oh Alex, you finally came down” Leo smiled with a nod.

“Sir, we brought a total of two Main Battle Tanks, a thousand AK-74s, five million ammunition, fifty machine guns, and one hundred seventy tank rounds” Alex saluted and reported.

“Good”

Leo nodded in satisfaction and then turned towards McKinley, “It seems I only owe you the Five Foxhounds McKinley, and I would have them delivered them at the latest”

Of course, Leo is just saying that as he could’ve just bought Five Foxhounds in the spot with how much the amount of money he had gotten now.

“It’s fine, just don’t forget about it later after you guys go back” McKinley laughed, as he wasn’t even worried in the least.

Leo smiled and said, “Don’t worry, it would be delivered the moment we’re back”

“I’m sure you guys have already met Alex?”

“We sure do, you’re really lucky to have a valiant soldier on your side, Leo,” McKinley said, his voice was tinged with envy.

“Of course, he’s been with me since day one and has been a great help since. He’s family” Leo said as he laughed heartily, his voice was tinged of his sincere thanks to Alex who had saved his as* multiple times during their adventures together.

Alex looked at Leo as a glint flickered in his eyes, with no one knowing what thoughts are going through in his mind.
