18 Family (2/2)

Roar! ~

When suddenly a deafening roar sounded which startled the group even Leo immediately wore his Armor and took out his M110 SASS from his Inventory.

The rest of the group along with the 3 new people gathered around him.

”What the heck is that?” the man who was holding the two bats looked at Leo in shocked and surprised along with the woman. They were bewildered by sudden appearance of a Armor covering his body.

”Pretty cool, right?” Josh sounded boastful like he was the one wearing it when he saw the shocked looks of the two people.

”Shut up and look carefully at surroundings we don't know what kind of animal that released that roar” Leo reprimanded him.

”I think it was a mountain lion, well even though it sounded different” the man interjected.

”And you are?” Leo looked at him and asked.

The man flinched from being looked at by someone wearing a high tech looking armor especially if its someone towering over you ”Ahh, y-yes. I forgot to introduce ourselves, this is my wife Laura and my daughter Michelle and I'm Staff Sergeant Austin Jay”.

Austin was robust white man around 6 feet 5 inches with a haircut like those in the Army with green eyes and Laura is a beautiful woman with long blonde wavy hair with deep blue eyes but shorter probably around 6 feet 1 inch and their daughter Michelle probably around 8 years old, looking much like her mom but inherited her father's green eyes making her look like a child star.

”I'm Leo, the head of this group and we will continue this discussion later because here it comes” Leo said in a grave tone as he pointed his rifle towards the emerging monster coming out from the woods.

Roar! ~ the monster roared at them as strange glint would flashed across it's eyes as it moved left and right assessing the group of people in front of it but its eyes never left Leo, probably felt that it was the most dangerous of the bunch.

”Oh god, It's really a mutated mountain lion!” Austin exclaimed in shocked and fear.

Leo raised an eyebrow when he heard him ”Slowly back away towards the house and you.. know about this mutations?” he asked intrigued as they slowly moved back with guys at the back and Leo taking the front facing the monster as it inched closer to them.

”Not really, I just heard some rumors going around when I was still back at the camp” Austin gulped nervously and tightly gripped his weapon while his hands are already full of sweat while looking at the mountain lion following them.

”When was that?” Leo asked.

Austin was surprised when he heard the calm voice coming from the person inside the Armor, like Leo wasn't even bothered that a huge monster twice the size of the regular mountain lion and it even has a foot long horn on its forehead looking at them like a prey.

”I think it was around a week ago when I heard it” Austin gulped but still answered even though he was feeling the tension lingering on the air, like the monster would pounce at them any second now.

”System, does that mean that some of this animals are already mutating even before I got sent here?” Leo asked while his finger is slowly pressing on the trigger when he noticed that the mountain lion is slowly moving towards them.

”Yes host” the system only gave a brief answer and then at the same time the mutated mountain lion suddenly made a mad dash towards them while roaring.

Roar! ~

Bang! Bang! Bang!~

Kyaaa! ~

Oh shit! ~

Different sounds was heard and following a heavy thud sounded on the ground like something heavy fell.
