Stronghold In The Apocalypse

Chapter 204: The Alpha Team

Meanwhile.

"Huh? Is that?" Dan once again peeked his head out the window, where he saw something familiar lying on the edge of the road, near the fence of the apartment building they're at.

Dan then opened the front door and cautiously went down the stairs, and he opened the gate as silent as possible, before poking his head out, and started looking around.

He then stepped past out of the gate, and made a dash towards the side of the road, and picked up the thing he saw from the second floor and immediately headed back inside, as he locked the gate and put up the barricades he took down, before going back to the apartment.

He closed the door behind him, and leaned his back at it as he breathed heavily from nervousness.

But feeling that heavy thing in his hand, he smiled and took a look at it.

"I knew it, It was a real pistol all along" Dan smiled, but then he suddenly muffled in confusion.

"Why was it lying on the ground anyway. I knew that it wasn't there in the first place as we've passed by that road a countless times"

"Wait, could the man who was riding that huge beast earlier dropped this?" he suddenly came into a conclusion that Leo must have dropped it earlier.

"Oh well...I guess it's mine now" Dan smiled happily as he caressed the pistol on his hand, and he checked its magazine and saw that it's full of bullets.

The pistol in Dan's hand is a Glock 19 with 15 rounds of bullets in its magazine.

Leo just hoped that this kid at least knew how to fire a gun and doesn't get himself killed.

Elsewhere.

Leo had just left the former military camp, and went back to where Shade is taking a nap.

Leo then just summoned him back, and left the village on foot as it's been a long time since he enjoyed the scenery in a rural village.

"Haa~ It would have been great if Amanda and Michelle were here, so that we could enjoy this scenery together" Leo smiled to himself, as he enjoyed the tranquility around him.

There were trees everywhere at both sides of the road. After all, the road he's walking though was constructed passed through a small forest and a hill, explaining the growing flora around him.

"I haven't received a mission for quite a long while now" Leo said bitterly as he really wanted to get one right now.

"Shouldn't I received a new mission since I'm in another country?" Leo asked loudly, as his voice echoed throughout his surroundings.

[...]

Leo just snorted with annoyance.

[Ding!]

[You have received a new mission!]

[Military Outpost - create a military outpost in the Philippines, and help the survivors living in fear everyday.

Mission Reward: 100,000 Defender Coins]

"Really~!?" Leo didn't expect that a mission would suddenly popped out of nowhere after he just complained about it.

"Seriously, you're just giving me now [System]?" Leo laughed.

"And why is the rewards so low?"

[Because establishing a military outpost would be quite easy for you now], the [System] coldly replied.

And after that, Leo didn't have any come back. 

After all, the [System] was right, because it's already easy enough for him to establish a small military outpost here.

"So stingy, tsk!" Leo snorted unhappily.

"So where should I got from here?" Leo mumbled as he started looking at the nearby towns through his [Map].

"Why the heck is this place so deserted?" Leo finally realized that something was not right, so he quickly swipe the navigation of the map, this is the only con of the [Map] as Leo needed to zoom in at the place so that the [Map] would show the life signals in that place, as the opposite of it would just show him the rough landscape of that island or place.

And there, he finally spotted a large group of humans gathering in one place.

It was the large town of Sanchez Mira in Cagayan Province.

"How come there's a lot of survivors there? Did someone gather them and is currently leading a survivor base there?" Leo mumbled while holding his chin as he started intently at those numerous blue dots on the [Map].

"But that's a large group thought, it's at least twice as our population combined together"

Then Leo suddenly clicked his fingers, "The army! It must have been them who gathered this group, and if my conjecture is right, then the last group that left the military camp in the last couple of days are not soldiers turtling themselves inside, but it's that they had already created a survivor camp somewhere else and they were just here to collect the remaining important items at camp"

"And that place is Sanchez Mira!" Leo raised his voice as he pointed at the town.

"Let's just hope its the army though, and they have full control of the place, but if its a group of mutans leading the place, then even better. I'll just make them submit to me by beating the shit out of them" Leo chuckled, as he felt like he was some kind of a villain in a movie.

"Should I just fly over there or make the trip on the road and hope that there would be interesting things along the way?" Leo started pacing back and forth, because flying over would let him reach the town in a couple of minutes, but he also wanted to move along the road and hope that he could rescue some people along the way and take them under his wing, as his temporary henchmen while he's in the country.

[Ding!]

Suddenly, Leo heard the ringing sound of a bell beside his ear.

Leo then pressed the intercom connected behind his ear.

"Who is it?" Leo said with an authoritative voice.

[Sir! Captain Richards of the Alpha Team, Reporting!] the voice of a man sounded.

Hearing him, Leo suddenly smiled widely, "Good! I want your ETA Captain!"

[ETA in three hours, Sir!] replied Captain Richards.

"Good, I'll open up my locator on my side, just follow it when you guys reach land" Leo smiled as he pressed a button at the wrist band attached at his hand, and then a small spot in the middle started blinking green.

It's a gadget created by Alastair during his free time, and there are currently only ten pieces of those created, one is given to Leo, Amanda, Michelle, Tom, Aria, Luna and Rachel, and the rest were given to the military for their recon missions.

After all, even without Leo's orders, his army still continuously clear out the unsafe zones like villages and small towns. They would spread out at every direction starting from the place where they are deployed.

[Copy that, Sir]

Leo ended the transmission as he finally decided that would travel through the air and make a grand entrance!

And the Alpha Team were the former First Hunting Squad and were renamed as the Alpha Team, when the army went into a large reorganizing.

*****

Two hours and fifty five minutes later.

Above the South China Sea, a D&&-TC Pelicanw ith a Troop Deployment Pod attached on its back is currently speeding towards the direction of the Philippines

And inside that aircraft, are a group of people, armed from head to toe and all of them wearing their improved ExoSkeleton Combat Suits, their weapons are SCAR-H attached with drum rounds or drum magazine, an eighty centimeter in length katanas in their backs, two desert eagles as sidearms, and three M9 High-Explosive Dual-Purpose grenade.

"ETA in 5 minutes! Are you boys ready!?" Captain Richards, a well built middle aged blonde haired man yelled at his men, he was the best in the First Hunting Squad after Austin and Alex left the team, and so he was promoted to Captain and the platoon leader of the Alpha Team or Group after the reorganization.

The elite of the elite, personally trained by the overpowered android called Alex through harsh trainings, and all of them only answer to one person, and that is Leo himself.

""Sir! Yes sir!""

All twenty nine of them answered at the same time.

While the Pelican is slowly approaching land, the people inside is being brief by their commanding officer.

"This is our first official mission since the military reorganization! Our objective is to assist the Commander is this new land to the best we can! So give your best out there and don't disappoint in your duties! Are we clear!?"

""Sir! Yes /armor_files/image038.jpg
