Stronghold In The Apocalypse

Chapter 126: Heel Drop Kick!

Joe was also having the same thoughts as Austin, 'Shit is gonna come down after we go back to the camp'

Joe just sighed and shook his head and then he finally noticed the group of people just standing a few meters away behind Leo and he stared at them full of wariness.

'Who are they?'

Leo slowly walked towards them and Austin suddenly stepped forward and weakly said, "S-sir, is s-she your d-daughter?"

The moment his voice disappeared, the rest of the people immediately turned towards him with faces full of disbelief!

''Oh god! Who would ask a dumb question like that!? Of course, she would be our Boss's daughter! And who the heck would brave the dangers inside this forest that reeks so much smell of blood!?''

''It can't be! Is she really his daughter? He's still young though and their ages is..Ah! Don't tell me that Boss impregnated someone when he was around 18 or 20 years old before!?''

'Impregnate you sister!' Leo immediately cursed angrily in his mind when he heard that comment.

And some of the rescued women staying inside some of the vehicles are even staring at Leo while sighing with disappointed looks.

''He's still young and handsome but he already has a daughter''

''I don't really care if he has a daughter or not as long as I can be his woman then that's enough, at least I wouldn't worry about my survival anymore''

"If only I was ten years younger then I wouldn't mind becoming his woman"

"Ha! In your dreams!"

"You too! Don't even dream becoming his woman with how filthy and smelly you are, tsk tsk!"

"You-"

"You what?"

"Why you-"

"What!? What are you saying? Are you talking to me!? I can't understand a single thing you're saying"

"I-"

"I what?I, I, I, I, I..what are you, a kid!? You can't even construct proper words!"

"Arghh! I'll kill you, you old hag!"

"Then come get me! Damn whore!"

The women already stepped out outside of the vehicle they were on and at the verge of a cat fight when they suddenly felt a shiver on their backs which made them stop and turn around, where they saw Joe looking at them coldly.

They literally became the center of attention now as they could all feel the numerous gazes directed at them which made them feel embarrassed and red with shame.

"You guys are an embarrassment in front of the boss ...get in the car!" a soldier walked over to them and coldly said.

This two matured women lowered their heads in shame and immediately boarded the car beside them helplessly.

"Enough" Leo said in a very deep voice which immediately silence all of the whispering and commotion going on and then he scanned all of the people in front of him and continued, "And she isn't my daughter, I rescued her when I stumbled upon her inside a house within the forest" he said as he turned his head around and pointed behind him.

"Eh? Why are you guys here?" Leo said, a bit dumbfounded when he saw Charlie and the rest standing just a few yards away from him.

"This.." Charlie suddenly forgot what he was about to say when he was suddenly put in an awkward position when almost everyone is warily staring at him and his group, especially when he noticed some of Leo's men gripped their weapons tightly as they stared at them with a bit of hostility.

"We want to join your group, sir!" Rose seeing Charlie suffering from a mental block, immediately interjected with a bit of difficulty in her voice especially with how thick the air of hostility around them.

Leo suddenly raised an eyebrow when he heard that. He actually didn't expect that this group of people would actually follow him and even want to join him. After all, he already noticed it earlier when they first met that this group of five people are probably Mutants but he doesn't know the extent of their abilities yet.

Leo suddenly grinned and then turned towards Austin, "Austin, come over here" he called out as he beckoned for Austin to come over.

Austin immediately came over after giving instructions to his men.

"What is it, boss?" Austin said.

"This people says they want to join us" Leo said as he pointed towards Charlie and the rest.

"Them?" Austin replied with a bit of disbelief as he could at least feel this five people before are not ordinary humans anymore. After all, this kind of people would immediately receive some benefits if they join them.

"Yeah, why don't you give them a try?" Leo said as he grinned from ear to ear.

"Sure, boss. I've been wanting to try my new ability against people like them who managed to survive outside our walls" Austin grinned widely as he crack his knuckles as a dangerous aura slowly seeped from his body.

"You heard him, all of you against him and if you win. You can then join us" Leo turned to Rose and said.

"A test but the rest are just ord-"

"Shut up and just fight!" Rose immediately cut the guy off before he says something offensive.

"Tsk" the man just clicked his tongue and looked at Leo's people with a dissatisfied look along with a hint of hostility in his eyes.

"Goodluck, make sure to give "that" guy a lesson" Leo leaned towards Austin's ears and whispered.

"Weapons are not allowed. After all, I don't want you guys trying to kill each other now" Leo said without a care and just turned around and look for a good rock to sit on so he could spectate the battle from there.

The two groups are separated with a distance of ten meters between them.

"Begin!"

When Leo's voice fell, Austin immediately went into a Horse Stance from Shaolin Kung Fu.

Except for Charlie, Rose and the others immediately felt a shiver as they didn't think that Austin would do a Kung Fu stance.

Charlie didn't even bat an eyelid, he had already been into numerous life and death battles before he even met the rest of his companions. He had already fought a lot, from ordinary zombies to mutated ones even including some ferocious mutant beasts even humans wasn't exempted from it so Austin doesn't even intimidate him a bit but if it had been Leo then it would have been another story altogether.

Leo felt a bit surprised that Charlie wasn't even intimidated in the least. After all, even Joe and Isaac would always wear a solemn look everytime Austin takes a Kung Fu stance.

While the two groups are trying to sound each other, the people around them started to slowly crowd around them while talking to each other and they even started betting.

"Who wants to bet against me? I'll bet a pack of cigarettes for Captain Austin's victory!"

"I'll take you up on that! A bottle of Lager Beer for the outsiders victory!"

"A canned beef for the outsiders victory! Who wants to take me on!?"

The surroundings started getting rowdy as the soldiers started betting against each other even some of rescued people who are rather "well off" joined in the fun while the rest who are to poor just look on with envy at them.

Austin suddenly gave a mocking grin and taunt them with his fingers..

'Bring it!'

Charlie just smiled and then he locked eyes with Rose and the others for a second and they nodded, like they already came up with a plan with only looking at each other's eyes.

"The usual!" Rose yelled as she immediately ran behind Charlie while the rest followed behind her like a train as they charge towards Austin.

Seven meters.

Five meters.

Three meters.

Austin didn't do anything but just watched them but when their distance was only meters left. Charlie and the rest suddenly broke off towards both sides and immediately surrounded him.

"Storm him!" Charlie bellowed as they all charge at Austin at the same time.

All of them attack at the same time with the same move!

A heel drop kick heading towards Austin's head!
