38 Recruit, Elite Warrior! (2/2)
Caleb looked down on the bloodied floor, smiling as he thought ”He's right. I'm no more of a knight but just another warrior and another survivor is this apocalyptic world and I will survive!” he clenched his fist with determination as he had already decided.
Caleb looked up to Leo and said ”I will join you to repay you from saving me but I won't do anything that challenges my bottom line like killing innocent people and doing some atrocities”
Leo rolled his eyes and said with a laugh ”I'm not a crazy lunatic that would do those!”
Leo smiled as he stood up and walked towards him, stopping just a fair distance away and said cheerfully ”Caleb, Welcome to Earth Federation!” Leo said laughing a lot when he mentioned the lame name of his group that he just copied from an anime.
”What? I didn't know that there is a group with a lame name like that?” Caleb looked at him surprised.
”I just..made it...right now” Leo said looking at him with a wide smile.
Then both looked at each other for a few moments before bursting into a laugh mixed with coughing sounds.
”Alright, I still haven't introduced myself. I'm Leo, Leo Wood. The leader and also commander in chief of my camp and a man of your skills is gladly welcomed” Leo said as he helped Caleb up from the floor.
Caleb's smile this time was just like a hawk freed from its cages that confines him and he said to Leo ”Thank you for saving me, Si-”
”Call me Boss from now on” Leo cut him off and pointed at the clothes that he prepared earlier ”Go and get changed immediately, then follow me after that. I'll let you meet one of my men”
”Right” Caleb felt embarrassed when he finally noticed that his suit is now in total mess as he slowly went and picked up the clothes and went to get change.
Leo smiled as he took out an orange, a couple of grape fruits and a carton of cold chocolate milk drink.
A few moments later, Caleb came out wearing a black pants, a pair of black shoes, a white t-shirt and a long black leather jacket almost reaching his knees.
When Leo saw his new outfit, he laughed out loud and gave him a thumbs up and said ”Now, you look like character from an anime. Too bad, your sword is already destroyed”
”Come on, Here, eat it immediately and after that we'll leave immediately less this place got totally surrounded” Leo said as handed him the fruits and drink which Caleb didn't even hesitate to get it as he immediately started devouring all of it as he truly felt famished right now.
Leo smiled and didn't say anything before he walked over towards a nearby window and looked outside.
What he saw outside was zombies everywhere wandering around aimlessly, like the place was hosting a party with how numerous they are outside.
”Good thing this place is soundproof and the collapsed wall that I came in from is further away from or they would have already heard all the commotions inside here.
Leo then closed the curtains and looked at Caleb who already finished eating his food and taking a short rest with closed eyes.
”Come on, let's go” Leo said as he passed by him.
Caleb opened his eyes as he stood up slowly following behind him, still feeling a bit weak but he was already feeling that his was body was slowly recovering from its lost of energy. He was also fidgeting around with his clothes as he wasn't use to wearing something like these and would have preferred a suit. Fortunately, there isn't one around.
Both men are walking along the hallway, the same route where the royal family escaped from but Leo wasn't planning to follow them. Instead he was going to where Alex is, who already found the entrance of the rumored treasure vault.
