Chapter 121: Reaching Outside
Aiden, after waiting a few seconds, heard the shouts of almost everyone one by one. While he thought it was natural for them to think about everything when they had to follow him in this apocalyptic world, he would naturally trust those who replied to him almost instantly more than the one who replied after some thoughts.
The other seven ladies knew these few seconds of hesitation would probably cost them more than they could imagine, as they knew their leader would trust Ava, Isla, and that horny Daphne more than themselves.
They call her horny Daphne because after coming to this mission of protecting the general's nephew a few years back Daphne's personality has taken a huge turn after seeing the general overly handsome nephew as they couldn't forget her moans when she openly masturbated in her tent at night calling Aidens' name almost every day.
Which is why they have call's her horny Daphne.
But they didn't feel much about this for taking their time to consider following him, as they were not the kind to betray someone after following them as their leader. They knew they could win his trust over time, though they still regretted taking those few seconds to think.
Aiden, now seeing that everyone had agreed to follow him felt relieved to know no one had rejected his proposal so now he has decided it was time to go outside. But before going outside, he decided to inform them of some important news, which he had learned half an hour ago when he tried to check the internet to see what was happening in the world.
"And one more thing—all of you must know that the internet or anything else that uses some type of signal isn't working at all. So, we won't be able to know what's happening in the world."
He had also tried to use the Radio earlier to contact his Aunt but It didn't work and Alicia hearing his words didn't feel surprised as she had seen him checking his phone and radio earlier.
Hearing their leader's voice, telling them they wouldn't be able to contact anyone, they felt nothing at all, as none of them had anyone to contact except for the General, who had secretly told them to report to her every month about what her niece and nephew did, in the form of a report.
They had happily agreed to this, as their loyalty to the General was still above everything, and they didn't think it would be considered betrayal, knowing how much the General loved her family. If they only told what the family did, as they had done in the past, it would be fine.
However, knowing they wouldn't contact her at all they felt a little relieved as after taking him as their leader, they didn't want to do something behind his back.
If they knew Aiden didn't mind sharing info with his Aunt, they wouldn't have felt the tension at all.
Seeing that no one had said anything in response, Aiden decided it was time to hunt the rabbit, so he ordered them to follow him as he led them toward the exit from which they had come earlier.
Aiden and Alicia both walked in front in their fancy black fantasy armor with golden designs on them, while carrying their similar-looking swords around their waists and keeping other modern weapons on their bodies.
The rest of the ladies followed after them in black fantasy armor, with many weapons on their bodies and fierce expressions on their faces, excited to test out their new weapons.
The sound of metal clanging was heard as they walked steadily toward the exit. Now reaching it, Ava decided to say something to their leader, and no one opposed her, seeing her walking up to him as if everyone had the same thing on their minds.
"Leader, I want to say something."
Aiden, hearing her voice, told her to continue, as he wanted to hear what she had to say.
Getting confirmation from her leader, Ava didn't beat around the bush and said everything she wanted to say.
"I'm sorry to say this, Leader, but you should stay at the back with your sister and let us handle the dangerous stuff."
Aiden, hearing her words, didn't feel angry, but it still irritated him how they were underestimating him so openly. He had his own pride, and being underestimated didn't feel good when he had trained rigorously for five years for this day.
He had also seen their stats and skills earlier, so he could say for sure that he could beat every single one of them in a fight, and only Isla would come close, being at his sister's level.
That meant even his big sis could beat every single one of them in one-on-one combat, though it would be a tough fight for her against Isla.
'It makes sense for them to think like that, as they've only seen me doing physical training.' exclusive-to-MvLeMpYr
'If they had seen me fight, they wouldn't be saying this right now. However, in terms of experience, these girls are still better than me.'
Alicia, hearing Ava's words, felt a little angry, as she didn't think anyone could defeat her monstrous brother here in a fight, and even his shooting skills were at a professional level. But she didn't say anything.
'I don't want to take a risk to prove my point when I don't even know what's happening in the outside world properly. So I should let them become the meat shields.'
'Yes, that's right, because I couldn't risk Aiden's and my life, knowing we have to live together forever.'
So, before Aiden could respond, Alicia hurriedly replied to them,
"Okay, my little brother and I will stay at the back. You guys should take the lead and make sure to protect us with everything you have."
Ava, seeing how calmly they had agreed to stay back, felt much more relaxed, as it would be easier for them to protect the two when they stayed at the back. Her image of Alicia improved even more in her mind, as she thought Alicia was a rational person like her.
However, she was definitely crazy for her brother, as Ava still remembered what had happened earlier down to the every second.
Still, she looked at her leader, awaiting his command and ready to follow whatever he said.
Aiden, seeing her expecting an answer from him, replied by agreeing with his sister's words.
"We will do just as Big Sis mentioned earlier."
After saying that, he opened the large black gate, just like earlier, and moved back with his big sis to a safer position while letting the others take the lead.
All the ladies positioned their M16 rifles in their hands, ready to shoot, and those who had snipers took out their handguns before walking through the gate.
Lethality could be seen in their auras as they traveled across the 500-meter staircase, and Aiden, experiencing their unified protection, felt thrilled to see their teamwork and spirit.
They quickly reached their parking lot once again. After reaching the parking spot, they moved toward the location where they had last seen the rabbit earlier, which was around three kilometers away from them while ensuring that Aiden and Alicia were perfectly safe.
Aiden had taken out his sharp sword from its cool-looking scabbard when they reached outside, as he was more confident in his swordsmanship than in his shooting ability.
Knowing the ladies were protecting him with guns, he felt much safer using his sword, and Alicia followed her little brother when she saw him taking out his sword, as she was also more confident in her swordsmanship in close-range battles. They had focused more on it while training for the last five years.
They walked through the grassy field steadily and reached two kilometers from where they had seen the rabbit after a few long minutes of traveling while on guard.
Only two of the ladies checked the surroundings with thermal binoculars hanging around their necks, just like everyone else on their team, as they were assigned to check as they did during missions with the General.
Ava hadn't given them any specific orders before they left, as they all knew what each of them had to do. Having worked with each other for years, they were very familiar with each other and could easily trust each other's backs, which was the most essential thing in group tasks.
