Stronghold In The Apocalypse

Chapter 7: Heh.. Keep Acting!

As Leo finished his story, his mother stood up and walks towards him, putting a hand on his forehead.

"Mom, what are you doing?" Leo asked as he took a step back.

"It seems you're not sick though" said his mother while looking at him worriedly.

"Mom! I'm not sick, alright!?" Leo this time was having cold sweat thinking "Dammit, I didn't know that having a family is this tiring, Haaa~ wanting to keep your love ones safe. I guess this is what a family is" Leo just sighed within.

"I will believe your insanely ridiculous story this time and pack our things but don't forget to clean up the kitchen first, okay?" his mother said as she tried fixing his clothes that was already drenched from sweat.

Leo just did an eye roll at the comment of his mother who already started walking upstairs and his dad even gave him a thumbs up while smiling before hurriedly following his wife.

"This is old man, giving me a thumbs up. You didn't even do shit!" Leo scolded his dad within his mind and then he looked at his sister who's been staring at him for a while but ignored her and proceeded to send the groceries inside his Inventory and he even stored their fridge which occupied 4 slots inside his Inventory and all the spices even their cooking utensils inside.

"What? Are you still not going to pack up?" Leo smugly looked at his sister who was looking at him with a really shocked expression this time.

"How did you do all that?" as she pointed with trembling hands at the kitchen that's practically "robbed" of its things.

"As you said earlier, it was a magic trick little sister" said Leo as he performed a magic gesture with a frying pan that was appearing and disappearing.

"Where did you put all that? It's impossible for all of them to fit in your body" she stated as she circled around him while inspecting his body.

"Hmmp, enough with the questions and just go and pack your things already"

"Hmmp!" Aria snorted as she ran upstairs this time.

Leo just smiled looking at his sister and proceeded towards their shed located on their backyard and started storing things he deemed to be useful later like shovels, a couple of fire axes, hoes, hammers, nails, a couple of machetes and even some fishing rods, and more.

Leo then brought out a ladder and use it to climbed up their roof and started taking out their solar panels as he figured out that his territory doesn't have its own supply of electricity. He even took down their satellite dish and stored all of it inside his Inventory.

"Leo! Were already packed up!"

Leo then heard his dad yelling inside as he hurriedly got down and stored the ladder before proceeding inside the house at the living room.

Leo was staring at his parents that was in front of him as they also stared back.

"What?" asked Leo.

"Nothing son" his mother sighed instead and walked towards the the front door, outside.

His parents really wanted to know how he "cleaned" up the entire kitchen in such a short time and even wanting to know more on where he put all of it but decided to not just ask because they probably won't get their desired answer from their son.

Leo then noticed his sister making an "I'm watching you" gesture with her fingers before leaving through the front door.

Leo just shook his head from that and he looked around the room before his eyes landed on the 65" Flat screen TV storing it inside his Inventory, then the sofas, dining table, chairs and he headed upstairs storing all the beds, bed sheets, pillows, all of it was stored inside his Inventory and of course he didn't forget to store all the medicines he found at one of the rooms there. He stored everything that he found that would come to be useful later.

"Leo! Are you coming or what!?" he heard her mother yelling downstairs.

"Coming!" Leo hurriedly went down as he saw his mom standing there.

"What were you doing upstairs?"

"Some stuff"

His mother raised an eyebrow then turned around "Let's go and make sure to activate the security system".

Leo activated the house security system before heading out towards the gate.

"Huh?" Leo was a bit startled when he saw his parents talking to some of their neighbors beside his car while his sister is busy tapping on her phone inside.

"What are they still doing here? Don't tell me they plan to ride in my car?" Leo thought.

"Ohh, Rachel, your son is really here. I knew it when I saw him earlier" one of the women talking to his mom said as she noticed Leo.

"Yes, he just arrived earlier" said his mom, Rachel.

"Hi there, Mrs. T" Leo walked towards them and said smiling.

"I heard that you guys are going on a vacation" Mrs. T said.

"Ahh..Yes. We're going on a vacation" Leo hurriedly said when he saw his mom giving him the "eye".

"Well, I hope you guys have fun" said Mrs. T as she waved them goodbye and went back for a small chat to Rachel before leaving with the others.

"Are you guys really planning on riding in my car?"

"Of course we are" the 3 of them said simultaneously as they sat inside in a leisurely manner.

"What's wrong with these people? I just told them that the world is ending soon and they are still acting like it was nothing. Well, I will probably also act like them if someone also told me that the world is ending out of nowhere but let's see if you guys can still be calm like this later on" Leo snickered as he started the car and they finally hit the road heading to Manchester.
