Stronghold In The Apocalypse

Leo then looked back up to his right and stared coldly at the man with an arrow nocked on his bow, "You over there! Get down from there if you don"t want me to put a bullet in your head"

"Get down!" Leo barked more coldly as he pulled the hammer of his pistol, a black Colt Python .357 Magnum Revolver with a wooden grip.

The man in question gritted his teeth with frustration and unwillingly lowered his weapons and made his way down.

"Listen up all of you! I didn"t plan to create any trouble while were here" Leo arrogantly said to crowd watching them, "But this guy" Leo pointed his gun towards the man on the ground, watching him fearfully, "wanted to hara.s.s and molest my companions and I, of course wouldn"t let that happen! Remember! If any of you does the same thing or plan the same thing like these a.s.shole here" Leo kept pointing his pistol back and forth towards the man making him shrieked in fear.

"Hiii~! Please! Stop!"

Leo just ignored and stared coldly at a specific person watching from the front of the crowd, "I would putting a bullet in your heads or you can let me use my sword and cut you in half!"

Leo didn"t want to dilly dally anymore with all this trouble that just happened just as they entered.

"We are here because we"re looking for a person that goes by the name of Dan, the person works on the radio just over a week ago. Does anybody here knows him? Step forward!" Leo said to the crowd but his eyes didn"t leave the person in his sights, a slim middle aged man full of tattoos on his body with a biker jacket with a skull on his right chest and below it was the word "Black Skulls" while surrounded by others like him but made sure to keep a good distance from him from which Leo made the hypothesis that he was probably an important member of the biker gang but what ticked him the most is that even with his threats, the guy didn"t even conceal his l.u.s.tful eyes towards the three women besides him and even having the guts of licking his lips in front of him.

The guy finally noticed Leo"s murderous eyes but instead of being afraid, he instead looked back at Leo and smiled mockingly at him.

Bang!

A gunshot rang out while the people around stood stiff in fear on their spots and when they looked back at Leo, all the saw was the guns barrel emitting a white smoke.

And with the silence, only one sound was heard "Thud" that person who got shot kneeled on the ground and looked down at the blood on his hand when he touched his chest and with blood leaking out from his mouth then he looked up to Leo and this time, he finally felt fear and despair. His body dropped on the ground full of unwillingness and regret as the ground started getting soaked from his blood.

"Boss!"

"No! The Boss died!"

"Y-you killed him! You killed our boss!"

Leo just raised an eyebrow with the edge of his lips going up, "Well, first of all. He didn"t heed my warnings. Enough about him, where"s the person named Dan?"

"I didn"t expect that the guy would actually be their leader here" Leo chuckled at the unexpected result.

Seeing that no one is stepping forward to tell them where that person which really surprised Leo even the members of the biker gang aren"t saying anything.

"Alright, it seems you people wouldn"t talk if I don"t make an example on one of you, huh?" Leo said to them which they got really scared that they took a couple of steps back with some even running away when they heard him saying "making on example on one of them".

"Hey, I get that you just up and shot their boss but do you really need to kill an innocent person?" Amanda came over beside and talked in a low voice.

"Yeah, you shouldn"t do that. It just doesn"t make any better than these a.s.sholes here" Aria also chimed in while referring to the members of the biker gang.

"Don"t kill anyone, it would just make them scared of you more and possibly wouldn"t even tell us a thing and we didn"t come here to kill innocent people. We"re here for a guy named Dan, right?" Mich.e.l.le said on the side.

"Who said I was going to kill someone..again?" Leo looked at the three of them with a perplexed look.

"But didn"t you say that you"re going to make on example on one of them?" Aria said with a confused on her face including the other two.

Leo just smiled at their misunderstanding of the meaning behind his words.

Leo then ignored them and pointed his gun towards a young man, "You over there! Come over here! Now!"

"N-no! Please! I-I d-don"t want to die yet!" the moment the young man realized that he was the person being called out, he panicked and started looking around for help but sadly for him, the others didn"t want to end up like so they all step away from him, fearing that they would be next.

"Shut up! Come over..now!" Leo angrily yelled at him and on the side the three girls just shook their heads and didn"t say anything anymore.

Bang!

A gunshot sounded, the young s.h.i.+vered in fear and despair as he closed his eyes waiting for his imminent doom but a few moments later, the pain that he was expecting arrive so he slowly opened of his eyes and the scene that he saw made him sighed in happiness and relief.

Thud~

"a.s.shole wanting to sneak attack me" Leo cursed as he looked at the dead guy on the ground who was the archer before and wanted to sneak attack Leo by throwing a knife at him which in end had gotten him a bullet in his head.

Leo then returned his sights to the young man earlier who was now slowly turning away to flee, "Dude! If you take one more step forward. I"ll make sure you lose that leg of yours!"

The moment the young heard that, the foot that was about to land on the ground pa.s.sed in the air as he stood there shaking.

"Now, I will give you three seconds to come over and if you don"t….I will kill every single one of you here!"

"Leo!"

"What are you doing!?"

"Oh G.o.d! Now, this is just f*cked up!"

"Leo…"

This time the three girls finally became angry at him for the way he"s doing things right now and that even the crowd that was just nonchalantly watching finally grew nervous and started making a commotion among themselves while they also started backing away in fear.

Leo just ignored them, "I"ll shoot one person for every second that pa.s.ses by that you don"t get over here!" he pointed his gun towards the man earlier.

"Y-you! Just go over to him! Don"t dragged us down with you!"

"Go! You son of a b*itch!"

"You"ll be the death of us all!"

"We"re gonna all die if you still don"t listen to him!"

Finally, the crowd finally can"t control their fears, taking over their emotions and that they finally started chiding and cursing the said person.

"Bunch of selfish b.a.s.t.a.r.ds!" the man cursed in his mind in despair and what truly brought him down is the woman, his girlfriend even started cursing at him with a face full of anger which truly spiraled him to the pits of fear and despair.

The man finally gave up forcing to survive this ordeal that he just started walking slowly towards Leo with a blank look on his face and when the crowd saw his actions they finally felt relieved in their hearts even including Leo because he was finally getting annoyed at the farce that he just created.

When the man was just a couple of meters away from Leo, he looked at him with a blank expression with not even a hint of rage, hatred or even fear, "Just do what you must".

"Alright" Leo smiled at him and put his gun away, he instead went behind Mich.e.l.le and opened her backpack.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Mich.e.l.le said to him while the two girls just looked on, curious at what he"s planning to do.

Leo took out two 500ml of bottled water, five loaves of bread and two wrapped sandwiches from the bag.

Leo walked over towards the man and did something which truly surprised the people around him, "You will get all of this if you tell me who is Dan, the person who was broadcasting on the radio about this place before"

When the man heard what Leo said, his mind stopped thinking like it just short circuited that he just unconsciously took the things from Leo"s hand then looked up to him, "I am that Dan"

"So you know him and where can I- eh?" Leo was finally happy that he would get to meet this guy but then his expression changed from twisted to surprised.

"Wait, what did you say?" Leo asked again like he felt that he just heard something wrong just now.

"I"m that Dan, you"re looking for"

"Wait, what?"

"What the heck?"

"Now, that is a surprise of the day~"

The girls also exclaimed in surprised when they heard him, even the onlooking crowd had surprised looks on their faces which made Leo feel something weird and he looked at "Dan" coldly.

"I thought his name is Adkins?"

"Yeah, that"s what I thought too"

"Hey Sarah, that boyfriend of yours wasn"t his name Adkins? How did it became Dan?"

"I-I think so?"

When Leo heard the crowd, the coldness in his eyes became more scary that the man in front of him s.h.i.+vered in fear, "Are you ly-"

"No! My name is really Dan! I became Adkins to hide my ident.i.ty when the Black Skulls came here and started killing people, that"s the reason why I needed to hide my ident.i.ty" he hurriedly said as he cut him off, this time his will grew firmer and gave up dying when he finally saw a trail of hope in front of him.

"Why did you do it then?"

"The moment they came here, they started killing the important people including the mayor and the police officers who was with us, that"s the reason I hid my ident.i.ty from the fear of getting killed"

"Even if the you hid it then there would have been others who knows you"

"All of them are already dead, most of the survivors here are just new and the original survivors didn"t really know what I looked like as I had never left the radio room before but not until the Black Skulls appeared here"

"I see, but you"re just the broadcaster. Why would you need hide it from them?" Leo said with a wide smile as his revolver again revealed itself on his right hand.

The man made a huge gulped when he saw that and hesitated for a bit then just sighed to himself, finally resigned to his fate.

"My real name is Danny Burkhardt, I"m an Inventor and a....."
