71 Gallant Kid (1/2)

Gulp~

Every single one of them gulped with nervous as they palpitated with excitement as they looked at the sight before them.

They were standing in front of a devastated forest with a wrecked ground and the trees toppling over or literally got destroyed like someone just performed a deforestation just beside the roadside they're on.

But they aren't looking at the devastation in front of them but the man standing at the middle of the blood soaked ground littered with mutant beast corpses amounting to exactly thirty seven of them and the most surprising thing is...that the animal carcasses around the man are wolves, a pack of wolves that should have already considered almost extinct in UK.

”So this the true strength of the right hand man of our leader” Austin muttered as he stared at Alex like he was seeing his idol for the first time.

”If Sir Alex is already this strong that he's able to wipe out those pack of wolves that's at least twice the size of a lion then how strong would our Boss be if his right hand man is already this strong?” Mark muttered as his curiosity suddenly grew and along with it is his motivation to grow stronger and personally see with his own two eyes if a legend would be born in this chaos where mankind is facing its greatest threat that they have ever face.

”Sir, what are we gonna with the beast corpses?” Austin immediately asked respectfully when Alex finally got back.

”Put them all in the back of the cargo trucks” Alex instructed knowing that Leo has a lot of needs for mutant beast carcasses right now and after that he immediately stepped inside a black Hummer truck.

”You heard him boys, get to work!” Austin yelled at the people around him.

Austin and Joe didn't join them but instead patrolled around just in case some of beast or zombies wanders over towards them because of the smell of blood while Josh, Mark and three of the new recruit that Leo brought with him before and along with the newly added twenty two people that they rescued along the way started working on getting all of the beast corpses on the backs of the trucks, of course the kids were spared from doing anything.

Right now, Alex and his crew was just midway to Leeds as they are already three hours late to their first destination because of the abandoned vehicles along the way and what's worse are they are those big ass vehicles and with it like six wheelers or ten wheeler trucks, it took up a lot of their time including rescuing some survivors they met along the way.

There are currently fourteen adult women and eight adult men along with two boys and five girls between the age of three and eight.

Almost an hour later, they finally managed to load all the carcasses on all of the trucks as they all lazily sat inside the mini bus all exhausted while Mark handed them some water and biscuits. After they were done,Alex suddenly ordered that they turn back immediately which didn't come as a surprised to the rest as what they got was really a huge haul.

Unbeknownst to Leo, the two convoys that he sent would suddenly come back to their base with not even a day passed since they left.

*****

Somewhere around the roadside heading towards Manchester, 4 pm.

Two kids, a boy and a girl around 8 or 9 years old dressed in ragged clothing and covered in soot and dirt are running in distress and fear through the foliage just a few hundred yards away from the main highway road.

”Lea, come one or the monster will get us!” the boy said in hurriedly as he tried to help his sister up from the ground.

”I can't! I'm already too tired that I can't almost feel my legs anymore, just go on without me at least you would be able to escape from the monster if you leave me behind!” the girl started crying.

”N-No! I'm not leaving you here!” the little boy shouted in anger.

Suddenly, the boy started dragging the girl towards a large tree with huge roots that's able to provide cover on them.

A few moments later, there was a rustling sound along with a small growl. Hearing the growling sound, the girl suddenly whimpered which the boy hastily covered her mouth but unfortunately for them, the beast still managed to hear her.

A few seconds later, the beast appeared in front of them. It was a huge three meter tall blank panther.

”Growl!” the beast growled when it saw the two kids as it licked it lips and the kids even thought that they were seeing things that it seemed like the beast was mockinglysmiling at them.

”Kyaa!” the girl screamed, completely terrified and closed her eyes while the boy gathered up his courage and stood up and picked up a rock from the ground, double the size of an adult's fist.

”B-Beast! I-I'm not afraid of you! I will not allow you to hurt my sister! Ahhh!” the mustered up his courage as he threw the rock and precisely hit the monster head.

”Roar!” the panther roared in anger as it's saliva dripped down onto the ground.
