24 Cool Exit! (2/2)

”Hello big bro!” ”Hello~” Jess happily greeted Leo when she saw him coming out from the Hall while Michelle shyly greeted with a red face.

”Kids should be kids even at these times but of course their studies shouldn't be neglected even on these times. After all, children are the future of mankind” Leo smiled in return and thought before he proceeded towards a watchtower where his father and Austin is currently at.

When Leo was almost at the watchtower, he suddenly dashed towards it and scaled the watchtower like a skilled ninja.

Leo suddenly appeared at their side that it made both men startled.

”H-hey! Did you just climbed up here!?”

”Yeah!”

The first to react was Austin as he immediately went to the edge and look down below the tower. ”Did he just scaled through this? The watchtower is higher by two meters than the wall! How did he do that!? This person can already be called superhuman just based on his abilities that should have not exist before the epidemic!” as he thought something absurd.

”Why are you still up Austin? Shouldn't you be taking a rest?” Leo asked.

”Well, a two hour rest is already enough for me” Austin said as he scratched the back of his head. Henry didn't even glance at them and just looked at the wandering zombies around the walls with some of them even banging against, the surprising thing is the wall isn't even receiving a single damage from those zombies.

”How is it dad?” Leo smiled as he stood beside him while also looking at the zombies that wandered here.

”This Thompson is good, it looks really new like and the recoil and accuracy is great even better than our modern rifles today” Henry showed a small smile while caressing the rifle on his hand.

Leo smiled at his father, who has the expression like he was looking at his own child.

”You should know that I'm not asking about that”

Henry sighed with a rueful look ” I just didn't expect that I would witness something like this while I'm still alive” even Austin who was only listening from the side also seems sad.

Austin then added ”It's because it is hard to imagine your children growing up from a environment like this. Just imagine of how many people died and turned like them. There's probably millions of 'them' now, I wouldn't even be surprised if half the world population already turned. A zombie is already bad but even ordinary animals have mutated” Austin said as he leaned his arms on the guard rail with his chin resting on his arms.

”Humans have always thought that they are the overlord of this world, destroying nature here and there and now, Nature is starting to settle old scores. In the face of Nature's Wrath, humans can only watch on helplessly as we all try to survive in this hard times. ”

”The cycle of life had never change, it's only because humans have become delusional due to power that they never think the consequences of their every actions, with our generation taking the full brunt of this force. It feels like we just came back to the era of the first humans, were dangers lurks everywhere with us this time being almost at the bottom of the food chain.”

Austin and Henry looked at him surprised and then nodded in agreement when they thought about Leo said.

”Human life has always been fragile” they both though.

John gave a huge smile and said ”Well, I'm going” as the jumped all the way down from the tower, releasing a dull sound as Leo landed on the ground as he swaggered towards the location where the women are preparing dinner.

Leo then remembered something which made him stop then continued walking ”Damn! I forgot to ask dad if the car we left behind is still okay. I just performed a cool exit, now I can't go back and ask. Urgh! I'll just ask about it at dinner and also give the rifle to him later” he thought as he hastily walked towards where the women are cooking for dinner.
