109 Leo And Wen Wen (1/2)

Five days has already passed since Leo took over Manchester City.

A lot has happened within those three days.

Upon returning and finding out that the city adjacent to them is already cleaned of ”pest”, the people within the Stronghold threw a huge celebration because of it.

After all, what Leo did was a huge step for mankind towards hope, hoping that humans would once again become the ”masters” of Earth but what they didn't know is that Leo had other plans already.

So after taking over the city, Leo had immediately sent more men to rescue the still living survivors stuck around the city.

Every house and building were searched, with no stone unturned.

In the end, they only managed to rescue exactly one thousand and one hundred thirty seven survivors, which is really pitiful compared to the original population of almost a million before the apocalypse.

Leo immediately arranged some people to take care of them by giving them warmfood, a warm place to stay, clothes and even the medicines they currently needed.

Other camp leaders of other survivor camps would probably leave bad comments about him wasting resources on them, especially medicines which is currently one of the most important things in the apocalypse except for food and water.

But what they didn't know is that he's not really worried about running out of those! He just needs real hard cash to buy those things!

Leo had already drafted a plan for the City of Manchester two days ago when they had a meeting, there would be two defensive lines in the city. One is an outer wall while the other one was an inner wall, like those medieval castles of royalties. The outer wall would only be constructed using galvanized roof and lumber as walls while the inner wall would be constructed using concrete.

This plan of his would take at least 3 to half a year to be completed, depending on how many survivors would flock towards them the following days and months as more manpower means faster construction time.

Leo had even mobilized the entire three squads to stand guard in the city. After all, the current protectors of the Stronghold is already enough to even deal a massive horde of zombies.

The current survivor camp of the city was centered around the Beetham Tower, the buildings and the vacant lands around it were turned into residences, workshops and training grounds for the camp's future ”Army”.

Over two hundred out of the over one thousand rescued survivors already enlisted themselves to join the armed force of the camp, bolstering the group's military might by another level after they finished their basic army training.

”Left, Right, Left, Right, Left!” resonant voices continued to echo along the surroundings of the two training grounds.

”Bastards! Put some strength to it! Get down on the ground and give two sets of push ups! Now!”

”Yes sir!” the trainees immediately dropped down on the ground and executed the drill instructors orders, all of them had the faces like they had just eaten a handful of houseflies as their decisions in their heads.

'F*ck! I shouldn't have joined this madness! What training!? This isn't the army! Why are we even training like we're joining the military!? I thought they would just give us guns and what not and do some useful and easy task! But this..Damn!'

The same scenes was also happening at the other training ground.

The training grounds are currently being operated under former Private First Class James Arthur and Corporal Edward Jones. This two who had always been on the sidelines, who got always gets ordered around finally had important positions inside the camp.

Leo had already implemented ranks/titles towards his armed force and they are as follows:

Private, Corporal, Sergeant, Staff Sergeant, Master Sergeant, Second Lieutenant, First Lieutenant, Captain, Major, Elite Guard, Mechanized Guard, Shock Trooper, General and finally, the Field Marshal which Leo is entitled to.

The other ranks doesn't need to be explained but the Elite Guard and Mechanized Guard are actually special ranks and both of them are equal in ranks.

Elite Guards, only given to people who have mutated abilities or simply, the mutants.

Mechanized Guards, ”ordinary” people who doesn't have mutant abilities but are veterans or simply elite soldiers, wearing their exo suits.

And lastly, a very special rank. The Shock Trooper, this group of people both have the specialties of both Elite and Mechanized Guards. A group of elite soldiers that also have mutant abilities and their would be, only distinction is that they would have their own Armored Suit like Leo...albeit probably the cheapest from the System Shop.

There are also other changes like the currently existing three squads and from now on, they would be called, Hunting Packs because they are like wolf packs who roams the land looking for their prey, which the ”prey” are actually the resources.

At a certain training ground for youths inside the Stronghold.

”Stop it! You brat!” Flash yelled angrily as his little body wiggled to the left as he dodged a ball of fire as big as a softball.
