Stronghold In The Apocalypse

Chapter 51: The Blacksmith, The Marine and The Engineer

Bang~! Bang~! Bang~!

"Kyaa~!" Amanda was screaming in fear while shooting a pistol towards the target dummy but the most surprising thing is she's hitting the target with five out of seven.

Click~ Click~ Click~

The pistol ran out of gun while Amanda just continued to pull the trigger with her eyes almost close.

"Alright, enough" Rachel came over and took the gun from her hand.

"Whoo~ That was scary, right?" Amanda smiled and said to Michelle and Aria.

"Well, not really that scary" Aria chuckled.

"It's your first time so yeah. It was also scary for me the first time Leo let me used it to shoot zombies before~" Michelle said trying not to laugh before she also went and picked up a Colt 1911 and reloaded it and started shooting at the dummy target.

Bang~! Bang~! Bang~!

Michelle surprisingly did excellent as she managed to shoot four out of seven, earning the praised of Rachel which made her heart flutter with happiness.

Amanda burned with competitiveness seeing Michelle also being intimate with Leo's mom and she swore to herself that she would train a lot to become better at using a firearm.

"Alright! Everyone can take turns at firing the Colt 1911. Currently, this would be standard firearm within the camp as we have a lot of these. Of course, that doesn't you will always carry it with you and can only use it in case the men needs more manpower or in emergencies" Rachel looked at the women and said while she gave Aria the handgun for her to try.

"But before that, I'm gonna show it again to you guys on how to properly shoot a handgun so make sure to remember on how I'm gonna do it, okay?" Rachel said as she picked another handgun and did the standard posture.

The women just nodded obediently at what she said as they kept their eyes wide open at what she's doing, afraid that they will miss even a second of it.

Bang~ Bang~ Bang~!

"And that is how you shoot a handgun" Rachel said to them while reloading the gun.

"Aria! Your turn!"

"Yes!"

Bang~ ! Bang~! Bang~!

It seems the women are pretty excited at it as they repeatedly took turns firing a handgun and only stopped when they got scolded by Rachel.

*****

Within the airspace of London was an unknown aircraft to its still surviving populace as it sped towards the city.

A minute later, the aircraft was circling above the city like it was scouting.

"Just what you'd expect from a city, now this is what you would call a city of the dead" Leo said looking at the horde of zombies below and confirmed the fact that there are still around one thousand survivors in the middle of city, trapped and probably on the verge of dying already.

"The whole London practically became a death zone, tsk!" Leo clicked his tongue as he wasn't expecting this place to become this bad already when he just came here a few days ago.

The once prosperous city have become a place where the dead lurks as they stalks and wait for their next victim

Surprisingly, inside the aircraft. There are also three other people, a scary looking burly man with scar across his face around 40 years old and a beard was sitting there with a huge hammer resting between his legs that looks like a war hammer but smaller, around two and a half foot long with a rectangular hammer head and the man's body exudes ferocity with his muscles bulging like a bodybuilder.

He is the blacksmith that Leo got named, Zabu and he looks like a mob boss with his sharp eyes along with his almost square face and a light skin tone.

A seat away from Zabu, is a professional looking white man who has his eyes closed and someone around 40 years old wearing rectangular glasses and has an oval shape face like Kanye West and obviously the man was an engineer especially that large brown tool box that as big as a suitcase lying there at his feet with the obvious word "Tools" written on it.

He is Alastair, a master engineer specialized in maintaining and fixing equipment and armaments like the halo suit and the Pelican, that sounded more like a mechanic than an engineer though.

And in front of both of them, sitting at the other side of the ship is a 30 year old black haired western man wearing a combat uniform for their profession along with SA80 on his hands that has serious look on his face while he kept staring at Zabu who also stared back at him with a ferocious looking face who looks like he would just suddenly come up at him and bashed his face with his hammer. He is Lieutenant David, a Marine.

"What are you looking at pretty face brat!?" Zabu growled and it looks like there's a spark coming out from his eyes as he stared dead at David.

"I don't like your smell" David said as the edge of his mouth twitch.

The "smell" that David referring to is the bloodthirsty aura of someone who had killed numerous people before.

"Hmmp! Says someone who doesn't" Zabu growled as the muscles on his arms continuously twitch.

"But yours is far worse" David shot back.

"Are you asking for a fight, brat!?"

"Hmmp! Do you think I'm afraid of you!?"

Zabu beside being a blacksmith, is also a warrior at which even Leo commented at it "It feels like I just bought a product from a supermarket with a 2 in 1 in it" he said when he found about it which made him laughed.

"Enough! Both of you!" Suddenly, a nearby shout sounded which immediately shut the two of them.

Of course, them arguing was said in a controlled but raised voices so that they don't embarrass themselves in front of Leo.

But when Zabu saw the person who yelled wasn't Leo but Alastair instead, he just snorted before he just sat there silently still staring at David like they were trash talking each other through their stares.

'Pretty face brat!'

'F*cking gorilla!'

'I'll f*ck your ass bitch ass!'

'Hmmp! I'll decapitate your d*ck and make you an eunuch!'

'Hmmp! I'll break you like a twig before you can even do that!'

Looking at the two of them acting like kids, Alastair just shook his head and said in a low voice that only he can hear "Kids~"

""Shut it twig/b*tch!"" both David and Zabu said at the same time as they surprisingly still heard what he said.

"Huh!? F*ck you gorilla and pretty boy who almost looks like a woman!" hearing him being called a twig made his body jerk in anger even though his body doesn't look like it and he took out a huge ass wrench from his tool box and pointed it at them angrily.

"I'm a man as*hole!'

"Gorilla again!? I'll kill you twig!"

"I'm not a twig! I just have a more balanced and slimmer body unlike you who has those disgusting muscles of yours and you..! Shut up! And try to like a soldier for once!"

It was chaos at the back of the aircraft as the gun powders ignited with ferocity.

And Leo with his superb hearing can hear all of it even when they tried hard not to be noticed by him and Alex? He just didn't care and still wearing that cold look on his face.

'I can hear you guys!' Leo said in his mind with his eye twitching and he just pretended that he didn't hear anything they are saying so as to not embarrass them and just continued looking at the dead city below through the window of cockpit.
