Stronghold In The Apocalypse - Chapter 222

Meanwhile.

While Leo is busy executing his plans for the island.

Alex and his crew are currently flying over a famous naval base in Hawaii, called Pearl Harbor.

The harbor has a lot of ships, but a quarter of them have sunk, some are burned down with smoke still coming out of them, and the rest of the ships are all zombie infested, and so those ships are either still operational or not.

The place and its surrounding lands is literally in chaos, with burning vehicles, corpses and zombies roaming about.

So the only choice they have is to land somewhere faraway from the base and make their way over towards the naval base on foot.

“Prepare to land” Alex commanded the pilot beside him.

“Yes, sir” answered the pilot as he quickly started looking for a place suitable for them to land.

A minute later, the Pelican landed at a spacious grassfield behind a building.

“You two stay here with the pilot” said Alex to the couple who are staying at the back of the ship ever since they were rescued.

“Yes, sir”

“Okay”

Austin, whose chest is covered in bandages, looked at Alex with respect as he really didn’t have any objections of being left behind here as he really didn’t have much of a choice right now as he’s still recuperating from his injuries.

The two soldiers looked at the banged up man, and couldn’t help but clicked their tongues in amazement as they followed after Alex, as the hatch closed up from behind them.

The two soldiers weren’t amazed because the man has supernatural powers but because the man is immune from the zombie virus.

It was because Aurin had informed them yesterday about their circumstances and ever since he had awakened his powers. Any injuries caused by zombies to him can’t turn him into one of them, so the answer he came to is that he’d become immune to it.

And while that was happening.

The group didn’t know that there’s a group of people watching them from afar through the pair of binoculars in their hands.

“Holy sh*t, it’s really the Pelican?” said a chubby looking dark skinned kid around twelve years old as he watched the aircraft land on the ground.

“Can we catch it and maybe cook it up?” and another voice of a kid followed up from behind them who’s lying on the floor with a lazy expression.

His words have a clear meaning that the kid is hungry.

“Stupid, I’m talking about the aircraft earlier, and you can’t eat it”

“Give it to me”

A short haired girl, probably a year or two older than the first kid snatched the binoculars from him.

“They look like soldiers, and they have EXO-skeleton…armor on them? Similar to those exosuit on Call of Duty if you’ve played it before, how weird. Did we have those already?” said the girl in amazement when she saw what the two soldiers were wearing.

And while this group of kids on top of a five story building was watching them.

Alex, who was walking in the front suddenly turned his head towards their direction.

“Holy sh*t”

The girl quickly placed the binocular down as she was startled by Alex’s sudden action.

“What happened?” asked one of the kids, worried.

“I think he just saw me” the girl who’s holding the binocular, and had now sat down on the floor, looked at her friends, dumbfounded.

“Eyy~ stop messing around. It’s impossible for them to see us here”

The other kid quickly refuted her because it would be impossible for any human being to be able to spot someone from so far away when both groups are on the opposite side of the bay.

“At first I thought it was just a coincidence, but I quickly realized earlier that he really was looking at me, and no, shut your mouth, don’t say a damn word” the girl was clearly agitated because of what happened.

After all, the girl had locked eyes with Alex for at least five seconds, and someone who was in her position would have certainly assumed that the man was literally looking at her and not something in the distance.

And anyone would feel creeped out because of that as that is something humanly impossible!

“Sh*t, he’s really looking at us”

“I told you, right?”

*****

“What happened, sir?” asked one of the soldiers as he cleaved a zombie into two.

“Hmm…there’s a group of survivors, kids, at the opposite side of the bay” Alex replied as he just stood there and continued looking in that particular direction while contemplating something.

“Really?”

Soldier One looked at his colleague, while Soldier Two just shrugged his shoulders as he really wasn’t sure what’s happening.

“Let’s head over there first and check up on them and see if they are okay before we continue with our mission”

After saying that, Alex turned around and already started walking away.

“Yes, sir”

The two soldiers quickly overtook him and started cleaning the path for Alex.

“Grahh!”

A slow moving zombie reached out its hands towards Soldier One, as the latter just leaned his head back and slashed his blade upwards, amputating the zombies arms before kicking it to the ground and stabbing its head, killing it.

While Alex on the other hand wasn’t just standing around as he continuously took down any mutated zombies, like the Stinger and Hunter zombies as he doesn’t want the two soldiers to open fire and attract all of the zombies towards them, impeding their objective.

His targets would either die in one or two shots.

The Hunter, known for its speed would manage to dodge the first shot but would always die at the second shot, while the Stinger that only has a fast long tongue wouldn’t even last two seconds after getting spotted by Alex.

This kind of killing ability is only possible because Alex is a half human and half robot being, a cyborg.

A being who has already transcended human physics!

Someone whose authority is only second to Leo!
