Click ~ Click ~

"Damn, it only lasted a full 3 minutes before malfunctioning" Leo cursed when he saw that the AR-15 is finally not working and threw it away including the one on his Inventory and took out a Fire Ax instead and started swinging at the heads of the Zombies.

Around one minute later, the surroundings Zombies was finally all killed and Leo leaped back inside the house as his Armor receded back into a bracelet. Then he finally noticed that three brothers at the balcony looking at him with mouths agape.

Leo just smiled at them as he headed inside the house.

"Did you guys see that?" Michael asked he looked at his two brothers.

"Are you talking about that cool Armor or that silhouette of a Bear or something behind him when he was swinging that Ax?" Joe replied back.

"Both"

"Yeah, that was awesome, he's like those martial arts cultivator I've read on Webnovels" Josh interjected and said enthusiastically.

Josh then noticed that his two brothers are looking at him like an idiot.

"What?" Josh asked with a stiff smile.

"What are you, a kid?" Joe said with a small laugh before heading back inside.

"Yeah, don't kid yourself, that's probably an after effect of the Armor" Michael smiled and tapped his shoulder and also head back in.

"Hey! But it's a possibility, rig- w-wait up!" Josh tried to retort back but immediately followed them in when he saw his two brothers already disappeared on the stairs.

When everyone is finally doing their things and all of them gathered in the living room "Is that all of if" Leo asked as he looked at the pile of Items in front of him.

"Yes, that's all of it. We gathered all of the medicines, spices even cooking wares as you can see" Amanda immediately answered him.

"Good" Leo said as he waved his hand as all of the Items disappeared in front of the dumbfounded gazes of the rest except for Amanda and Michelle as they were already used to seeing him doing it multiple times in front of them.

Even though everyone is tickled from curiosity because doing to that to one item can be explained but actually making that many Items disappear in front of them can't be categorized as a "magic" trick but no one had the nerve to asked him even the three older people just stayed silent.

"Heh, are they afraid of me? I've been doing that in front of them a couple of times but no one bothered to ask me" Leo thought as he saw them staying mum but the shocked in their eyes can't be concealed from him.

Leo smiled at them and then turned his head at Tom "Tom, you can discard your gun now"

"Why?" Tom asked in confusion.

"Remember what I told you earlier?" Leo asked him from which Tom nodded probably remembering what he said back at the gun store.

"Hand me your gun for a bit" Leo walked towards him as he took the AKM from his hands.

Leo disabled the safety lock and loaded the gun with bullets before he pointed it at the window and repeatedly pressed the trigger which producing clicking sounds.

"See?" Lee said as he pulled the charging handle and a bullet came out from the chamber and tried to fire it again and then pulled the charging handle until the rifle ran out of bullets.

"Modern weapons won't work anymore and only firearms and weapons created during WWII would work and don't try to ask me why I know this, it's really hard to explain but i guess you guys will slowly figure it out in the future" Leo immediately explained to them when he noticed that some of them was about to open their mouths.

"If anyone has any questions, ask me now" Leo said as he looks at them one by one.

"Your Armor where did you get that? I think It's technology is too advanced and earlier when you were killing those Zombies outside I noticed that a huge silhouette of a Bear would always manifest behind you every time you swung your fire ax" someone immediately asked.

"I knew you would ask first" Leo smiled when he saw that Josh immediately raised his hand and hurriedly asked those questions like he was afraid that someone would ask before him.

Before he gave an answer, Leo first looked at the rest to see if there are others who have some questions for him and he just saw them staring at him seriously, probably had the same question/s that had been lingering within their minds.

"Alright, about my Armor some of you or not have probably noticed that my Armor looks a like those Armors from that Halo game, right?" Leo said and saw some of them nodding while some had questioning looks especially the parents.

"Just imagine that my Armor is like of an iron man suit from the movie but it can't fly and doesn't have those small rockets and mostly made out of Titanium Alloy(s) and let's say a friend gave it to me" Leo smiled then continued " and about that manifestation of a bear that you saw, let's just say that I'm like those martial cultivators that you've read from those webnovels" he smiled as he saw the dumbfounded looked of Josh.

"Y-you heard that? But you were already inside by then" Josh said with an embarrass face.

"I have sensitive ears, you know. Anymore questions?" Leo said as his gaze would move from person to person.

"I've really wanted to ask you this for a long time now. How did you make those things disappear in thin air like that?" this time it was Michelle who asked seriously.

"Ohh..that" Leo smiled intently at Michelle which looked at him with anticipation including the rest of the group.

"Now thats...." Leo made a suspenseful tone and he heard some gulping sound.

"A secret" he continued and he laughed when he saw their faces turned rigid.

"Jerk" cursed Michelle in a low voice.

"Alright, let's stop it here" this time, Leo's playful tone turned serious.

Leo took out a ball made of metal and threw it the ground. The metal ball split itself into four parts and it emitted a bright light before a portal like mirror slowly appeared as within it you can slowly see the other side of the portal which is the walled village back at UK which left them dumbstruck including Leo "Damn, that is so cool" he thought.

"W-what the hell is that!?"

"T-the heck!"

"Holy Shit!"

"Fuck! I-is that a portal!?"

Different exclamations sounded within the room as they dumbly looked in shocked at the sudden weird thing that appeared.

"Leo! Is that a portal!?" Amanda said to him as she clutched hard on his arm.

"Y-yeah, pass through it and you would arrive on the other side of the planet. A place, probably the most safest on the planet right now, you can say its my safe house back in he UK?" Leo almost stuttered but was able to regain his bearings immediately.

"Is that true!?" almost all of them said at the same time when they heard him.

"Yes, but the bad thing is...only 10 people can pass through that portal"

"W-what!? B-but there's eleven of us here!" Amanda almost yelled at him.
