Chapter 101 Joe And Leonard

It has been over a day since they had the crazy meeting and the camp was in steam.

The new arrival people from the savage camp were confused by the gloomy atmosphere in the camp.

"Do you know what the hell is going on?" Jordan whispered toward Ashlee.

"Don't ask me. How would I know

?" she retorted in annoyance.

In front of them was Howard who was looking at the shelter entrance in expectation.

The shelter had undergone a drastic renovation with the new arrival. The main entrance to the building and changed to the left side of the building.

A big gate with wooden towers, housing a couple of security men.

"What is taking them so long?" Howard muttered with a frown on his face.

"Don't know. The camp has been in a mess for some time since yesterday." Jordan asked.

Creak.

A loud sound of footsteps came from the back and the trio turned their heads.

They saw two people matching with an expressionless faces.

They were Merab and Grandpa Philip.

"Oh, I thought we are not going anymore?" Howard said with a forceful smile.

"Said who?" Merab asked coldly.

Howard was speechless. He looked at Jordan and Ashlee for support. But the two averted their gaze.

Screech!

A screech of tyre echoes from Merab's and grandpa Philip behind. Two military vehicles stop a couple of feet and a middle-aged man steps out.

"Sorry for keeping you waiting. The vehicles are undergoing modification. " The middle-aged said with a slight.

He was Madel, one of the few people that level up to a First Circle Existence during the battle with the beast and zombies.

His ability was Enhance Arms. His strength lay in his two arms.

"Let go," Grandpa Philip announced.

The group headed toward the western part of the shelter in silence.

The group arrived at their destination in 15 minutes in silence without encountering any zombies and beasts.

"Is this normal?" Merab whispered, looking at grandpa Philip.

"No, it's not. We should get to it quickly." Grandpa Philip answered.

"Which building?" Merab looked at Ashlee.

"That one." Ashlee pointed to an ordinary-looking building a couple of meters from them.

Suddenly, they heard a whisper coming from the distance. At once, the group held their breath and hid.

"Are you sure what you said was right?" A husky voice asked.

"Yes. I stumbled on the location by mistake." A voice replied.

"Ok. Let's do this."

Bang! Bang!

Suddenly, the raging sound of bullets echoed from the distance and the peaceful atmosphere turned chaotic.

Merab and the others found a secure location to hide. Their ears were perked.

'',

Ah!

A miserable cry came from the distance and the air was filled with a thick stench of blood.

The continuous battle continues as the continuous wails of people echoed in the atmosphere.

"What's going on?" Jordan murmured.

"Why do you like to ask some stupid question." Ashlee retorted in disdain.

"What should we do?" Madel looks at Grandpa Philip and Merab.

"Send some of your men to check out the situation." Grandpa Philip commanded.

At once, two armed men took in the direction of the gunshot. They were at the peak of the threaded stage.

They moved in light steps and appeared a couple of meters from the fight scene.

"What do you see?" Joe, one of the armed men whispered.

"Nothing," Leonard responded, peeping from the back of a burnt truck.

"Should we go inside?" Joe asked.

"I don't think that's a good idea."

Suddenly, the continuous sound of bullets echoed from inside the building.

"Run!" A voice screamed.

The continuous sound of a gunshot echoed louder and the heavy sound of footsteps came rushing out of the building.

Joe and Leonard held their breath and fixed their gaze on the building.

Bang!

The front door was pushed open and two females rushed out of the building.

They raced in the direction of Joe and Leonard. After a couple of seconds, a man in his early thirties came rushing out of the building with blood over his body.

He dashed after the two ladies. His breathing was frantic and he was looking back now and then.

"What in the world is going on?" Joe whispered.

"I would like to know?" Leonard retorted in annoyance.

The two ladies run past the duo and continue running forward. While the man looked at the surroundings in weariness.

Bang!

The building door was smashed open and three strong men came rushing out with three assault rifles in their hands.

They looked at both sides of the street and found the man running with all his strength in the opposite direction.

"Stop you asshole." One of the men shouted and pointed his rifle toward the man and shot.

From the back of the three strong men, two other people came out. They were in tight black clothes.

They looked at the street and looked in the direction where the three ran toward.

"Why do we have to chase those ants?" One of the men asked

"Nothing. It's just fun. This belongs to us now."The second black man responded.

Suddenly, they stared in the direction of Joe and Leonard. Seeing the powerful gaze on their body. Joe and Leonard held their breath and a bead of sweat dripped from their forehead.

"Friend, why are you hiding? We could detect your breathing from here." One of the men said with a wild grin on his face.

Joe and Leonard looked at each other and nodded. At once, the duo decided to retreat.

Whoosh!

Bang!

'

The truck where the duo was hiding was sent flying into the sky. Joe and Leonard were caught off guard by the attack and were hit by the truck.

Hmm!

The two flies backward grunting, crashing on the ground and puking out a lot of blood.

A black man walked toward them with a light step with a wild smile.

"I ask you to show yourself. Why do you still decide to run when I ask you nicely." His smirked.

Bang! Bang!

Joe raised his rifle and shot furiously. The man dodges the bullet with extreme speed and precision. Seeing this, Joe's heart beats furiously.

He forced himself to stand up and escaped. He didn't dare to carry the unconscious Leonard. All his thought was to return to the group.

Bang!

Joe was sent flying. He crashed on the cold hard road and puked out his innards. His head was heavy and dizzy. He felt he was hit by a bullet train.

He shook his head twice and turned his head to his back. The black man was a couple of feet from him with a wild smile on his face.

"You can't escape." He declared confidently.

Joe didn't utter a word and took a grenade and threw it toward the black man. The black man didn't know what was but he chose to avoid the object.

"What shit do you throw? Just accept your—"

Boom!

The grenade exploded and a cloud of fire rose to the sky. The rebound from the explosion sent the black flying, crashing into the building.

Seeing his opening, Joe forced himself to stand up and raced toward the group. Blood dripped from his mouth and he held his chest. His chest ached and it was difficult for him to breathe. But he was determined to reach his destination.

Meanwhile, Merab was standing in front of the three strong men and asked.

"Can you tell us what the hell was going on?" She didn't want to be entangled with whatever was going on but the three females were running in their direction.

"We found a store room, but we couldn't open it. So we went to call our brother, leaving one of our friends to guard the place. However, when we went back, We found them in the room and they had killed our friend." One of the ladies shouted with tears hanging at the corner of her eyes.

"Is that true?" Merab asked.

"Who the fuck are you to question us." One of the strong men responded.

Bang!

The man was sent flying crashing into a burnt vehicle. No one knew whether he was dead or alive. Seeing this, the two strong men looked at Merab in a daze.

"Is this true?" she asked again, looking at the two men.

"That's true but the resources didn't belong to them since they haven't claimed them yet."

"You're right. Leave them and return " Merab said.

The two strong men looked at each other and reluctantly decided to return when they heard an explosion from their back.

What the hell is that!?

Merab raised her brow and stared in the explosion direction. She squinted her gaze and walked past the two strong men.

Her eyes caught sight of Joe staggering toward their direction covered in blood.

'What happened!' she exclaimed in her heart.

The two strong men looked at each other and an evil smile appeared on their faces. At once, they raised their rifles and aimed for Merab's back.

Bang! Bang!

Before the two could pull the trigger, a powerful force hit their chest and they were sent flying. They crashed into the half-destroyed building. Deader than dead.

Merab looked at the three behind for a second before she averted her gaze. She looked at the wounded Joe and raced toward him.

Suddenly, she noticed a black silhouette racing toward the back. Merab squinted her gaze and a frown appeared on her face. At once, a black bow appeared in her left hand with an arrow.
