Stronghold In The Apocalypse

Chapter 199: Showing Off Their Own Prowess!

"KILL!!!"

Leo's boomed throughout the city, as every living being heard his voice, the humans plugged their ears, the zombies even stopped in their tracks. It was like a sonic boom had just gone off in the middle of the city.

John and the other mutants looked at Leo in shock while covering their ears with their hands.

""UOOH!""

Suddenly from below them, they heard a small warcry until it becomes larger by the second as the rest of the humans followed, as they felt their blood boiling in excitement every time they heard the rallying cry of their companions!

""UOOOOHHH!""

The other leaders looked at the sight before them in shock, as they have never seen such a sight before except from watching movies!

""UOOH!""

As they can't help but follow along, as they felt their heart thumping in excitement as the powerful rallying cry downed every single sound that even the loud marching of the horde wasn't an exception!

Then the warcry slowly receded, and they now looked towards the direction of the man raising his machine gun in the air as they wanted to witness what he was about to do next, even John can't help but looked at Leo in amazement, and the rest wasn't an exception as they knew themselves that they can't do what he just did by just shouting a single word.

"MY FELLOW HUMANS!"

"IT'S TIME FOR A BLOODBATH!"

"""UOOOH!"""

"It's seems that a powerful opponent is awaiting us" the Darkseeker directing the horde from the back smiled as he heard the powerful rallying cry of the pitiful humans that's obstructing his path for dominating this lands!

Leo lowered his hand that's holding on the machine gun and raised his other hand and yelled, "Spears! On my command!"

John and the others didn't even notice that they had unknowingly handed the command to Leo.

The survivors below the wall, immediately gripped their spears tightly in their hands, as they immediately got into position like a throwing position like a javelin thrower, all of their spears directed at the direction of the roads where the horde is marching at.

Rumble! Rumble!

300 meters!

200 meters!

100 meters!

75 meters!

"FIRE!" Leo yelled as he gestured his hand towards the wall.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The throwing spears covered a small part of the sky as the spears flew towards the horde in an arc.

Twack! Twack! Twack!

They precisely landed just a back of the leading zombies, impaling them, and except for the mutated zombies, every zombie that got impaled the wooden spears either died or were crippled.

Leo had made sure the horde to be as near as possible as he was at least sensible to notice that everyone is not as healthy as he is, as he wasn't even sure if all these survivors could even eat three times a day like he does.

And thanks to his rallying cry earlier, it made the survivors more daunting even in the face of the horde already being so close to them.

"Spear Throwers! Get on the vacant top of the buildings and start attacking from there!" Leo immediately ordered as he knew they would be useless if they just stood behind the wall as they waited to replace someone who died.

Leo wanted to maximise their attacking output while lowering casualties at the least. After all, they're not like his soldiers who are fully equipped from top to bottom, where even a small strike team with fifteen soldiers could hold off these amount of zombies for a couple of minutes.

Kachak!

Leo pulled the charging handle of his machine gun, and John and the rest followed suit when they noticed his actions.

Kachak! Kachak! Kachak!

Leo then turned towards the camp leaders, and said a bit embarrassed, "Sorry about me suddenly taking command of your men"

"It's fine, it seems this wasn't your first time facing a zombie horde, huh?" Kurt immediately said, as he really didn't mind, it's not like he's a narrow minded person who can't see the bigger picture and the others were all of the same thought as him.

"Good brother! You're the main character of today's battle! Make sure to lead us to victory!" John just laughed and slapped Leo's back.

"Fire at will!"

"Of course!" Leo then looked at them as he laughed while he started shooting towards the horde, but he was mainly picking off at the mutated zombies that was about to reach the damn wall.

"I'll handle the mutated ones, spread yourselves out on the wall, help those survivors having a hard time defending their positions" Leo said as he shot a [Striker] in the head.

"Right!" John and the rest nodded as they immediately jumped down from the wall and started assisting the rest.

But Leo made Lesley stay as she's the one holding onto the rocket launcher. After all, their position is the one facing the brunt of the horde as the zombies tried to scale the walls by stepping on the dead bodies of their former brethren.

"You know how to use it?" Leo said to her.

Lesley just smiled at him and said, "I do, I was a soldier before I became a nun"

Leo almost choked on his words when he heard that, as he didn't expect this woman was actually a nun as she's now dressed in civilian clothing.

"Right..just use the thing to your heart's content. I at least have 15 more RPG rounds back at the car" Leo showed her a stiff smile, as he still can't process the information he received.

'It would've been awesome if she was wearing her nun clothes while carrying the rocket launcher on her shoulders. It would've been awesome' Leo thought as he imagined her in her nun clothes, like a certain anime character.

"Really!? That's awesome! I hope you don't mind then!" She said happily as she pressed the trigger.

Swoosh! Kaboom!

The rocket flew towards the middle of the surging horde, killing the zombies in its wake.

Leo then left his position as he jumped towards a nearby building and started shooting at the zombies below through a window, as he wanted to also provide positions at the different defending positions along the wall.

He saw John, Lhea, Kurt and Martha helping the rest by providing cover fire, some of them even threw a grenade near the wall, when their position is about to be scaled over by the zombies.

Noticing that the more powerful mutated zombies are finally making a move, Leo immediately left his position and the gun behind and jumped down, back at the wall.

"I'm sure you know how to operate a machine gun?" Leo said as he went over to Lesley.

Swoosh! Kaboom!

"I do, why?" Lesley nodded as she fired off another rpg round.

"Operate the machine gun for me. I need to do something" Leo said.

"Sure then, where is it?" Lesley asked as she can't find the machine gun anywhere.

"Here!" Leo smiled as she suddenly carried her on her waist and another unsuspecting survivor.

"Kyaa!""Whoa!"

Both yelled in shock as they saw themselves flying over the zombie horde, as they arrived at a building through the hole in the wall that Leo destroyed earlier.

"The machine gun is over there" Leo pointed at the machine lying beside the window, then he looked at the woman he picked up along with Lesley and said, "Look after her as she operates the machine gun. Make sure to tell her if a zombie wanders towards here, got it?"

"I will sir!" the woman nodded furiously as she looked at Leo fervently, like a lovestruck woman.

Leo just smiled at her and then jumped through the hole as he flew down towards the horde.

"Oh my god!" 

Both Lesley and the woman immediately ran towards the hole as they peek down below, as they didn't expect that Leo would jumped in the middle of the surging zombie horde.

BANG!

"Grahh!"

Leo landed safely on top of a zombie, and then he howled as his body underwent into his [Beast Form]!

His sudden shout immediately attracted the nearby defending survivors and they saw Leo in the middle of the horde slowly transforming.

""UOOOH!""

They immediately in fervor as the man is finally showing his mutant ability to them!

John, the other leader and the survivors also saw this scene, as they didn't expect for Leo to actually dived down in the middle of the horde!

When they saw him using his mutant ability, the others also came into a silent agreement as they passed their weapons over to their subordinates and started using their abilities!

"[To Arms]!" Lhea raised her bow towards the sky, as a ray of light envelope everything around her in fifty meters, and those swept by the light felt their bodies had gotten lighter and brimming with strength!

"[Wind Blade]!" Kurt started sending three blades of wind, the size over one meter, towards the attacking zombies, as it sliced the zombies it passed through into two!

"[Scorching Flames]!" John gathered a huge ball of fire above his head, around the size of two meters and threw it towards the zombies! Causing a shocking explosion, like ten grenades just went off at the same time and the zombies at the edge of the explosion started burning!

"[Rock Golems]!" Martha summoned two three meter tall Rock Golems in front of her, as they dropped just below and started massacring them! Her ability is the best in this kind of a battle, but her [Rock Golems] only last for three minutes and summoning two at the same time takes a huge toll on her body, and summoning three [Rock Golem] a day is the limit of her current capabilities.

The only one who couldn't use her ability for the time being is Lesley as her ability is related to healing, and she's too far away from the others to use it.

"Amazing! They're mutant abilities looks cooler than those back at home! Damn!" Leo smiled as he saw the leaders finally showing off their own prowess.

Leo punched through the horde using his powerful claws, as he headed towards where the [Darkseeker] is hiding at, and every zombie in his path were torn to pieces! 

Even the Big Ones or called as Tankers by John and the rest weren't an exception!

*****

At the other side of the battlefield.

The [Darkseeker] is watching Leo tearing his minions to pieces like they were nothing at all, as the human is clearly heading towards him!

"Dammit! How did a powerful suddenly appear here!?" the [Darkseeker] roared angrily!

"Go! Bring me his head!" it commanded the one thousand mutated zombies awaiting his orders behind him.

Rumble!

The one thousand mutated zombies rumbled towards Leo as they passed by the [Darkseeker].
