97 Battle of Beetham Tower 2 (1/2)

”Alex, where did you park it?” Leo turned towards Alex and said.

”It's over there, commander” Alex said as he pointed towards the dump forest where the weird zombie came out earlier.

”Alright, lead the way. As for you lots, maintain high vigilance and follow behind” Leo said and turned back before he headed towards the dump forest along with Alex with the rest following behind.

”Don't be nervous, just treat it like we're going camping. Just stick to what you've learned from your trainings and you'll be fine” Isaac said trying to lighten the mood.

””Yes, sir!””

A little while later.

”T-this..w-what the heck is that tank?” one of the recruits stared slack jawed at the Scorpion Battle Tank and the rest was also having the same expression as him. After all, the Scorpion Tank hasn't been seen around the camp lately.

”I was wondering where this tank had gone to so Sir Alex was actually using it” Isaac said without any surprise on his face as he had already seen and even ridden this thing before.

”S-sir, is that really a t-tank?” a middle aged man, who was drafted for this mission asked shockingly and with his question, the rest of his companions also looked over at Isaac.

”Ahh that..even I'm not sure where this thing came from as I have never seen one like this from the many years I've been in the army but it's truly a battle tank and a powerful one at that, hahaha” Isaac said somewhat proud like he was actually the one who owns it.

”This is..awesome! I want to ride it!” the middle aged man exclaimed as he kept fidgeting on his spot, wanting to immediately rushed up towards the tank but didn't dare to afraid of getting punished and the rest were also behaving like him. After all, it's not everyday for them to see a tank up close and personal or maybe even ride it themselves.

”Shut it and continue to keep a lookout” Isaac said to them.

Hearing him, they immediately tried to stopped fidgeting around and continued scouting where they are with their eyes but from time to time they would glance at the Scorpion Tank with shining eyes.

After a bit of talking with Alex, Leo then called over the recruits again and gave them a short brief of the plan.

The plan was for the troops to start clearing the zombies inside the city and they would start by clearing the zombies the moment they step foot inside the city towards Beetham Tower before making their way from there and circle around the city in a spiral motion while at the same time rescuing survivors along the way while because Alex would man the Tank, Leo would then alone deal with the mutated zombies occupying the Tower.

”Alrighty then, move out!” Leo said and turned towards Alex from which the latter nodded and immediately leapt inside the Scorpion Tank and after that the Tank finally came to life like monster that had just woken up from a deep sleep as it produced a loud rumbling sound.

”Let's go!” Isaac yelled as he raised his hands.
