57 Creating An Army

"We ought to help each other through this tough times, right?"

"You're right and pleasure doing business with you Mr. Leo"

"I could say the same to you Mr. President"

They both smiled to each other while shaking hands.

Leo then waved them goodbye as they stepped foot inside the Pelican with his entourage following behind him.

Hummm~

The Pelican produced a humming noise as it took off in the air before speeding away as countless eyes stared at its disappearing silhouette.

The president was still staring at the cloudy skies for a moment before he turned back and started walking towards the White House with his team following behind him.

"How was your digging about them? Any results?" he said to the people behind him without turning back.

The old general earlier who barged inside the Oval Office when Alex killed Calvin stepped forward beside him and said in a low voice, "There were no results on any of our records Sir about a group called Earth Federation. It's either they are very powerful to begin with be able to evade our information network or they are just good at hiding themselves but by the looks of it, it should be the former".

Hearing him, the president started scratching his chin while walking, "Yeah, you're absolutely right, an unknown secret organization just popped out of nowhere and along with it is Super Soldier Armor, an aircraft that flies using energy thrusters and what's weird is he actually wanted me pay using cash or gold when he sold me those 200 hundred AK-47, 50,000 bullets, a month worth of food supplies and some medicines"

"Really?" the old general looked at he president with surprised.

The president didn't reply to his question and just glanced at him at the corner of his eyes which made the old general cough and embarra.s.s when he noticed it, "Sorry Mr. President, I was just being curious myself"

"It's fine, I'm just surprised because it's just not you to be this talkative General Miller" the president said with a surprised tone as he clearly remembers Miller to be the silent type and a person that doesn't even bat an eye when facing the Apocalypse.

"HHa, it was just weird though Mr. President, why did you purchased those AK-47's knowing that they don't work anymore?"

The president laughed, "Now, that's where you're wrong because I recently found out from Mr. Leo that firearms just created after the start of pandemic would be usable and wouldn't malfunction"

"Wow, how come we didn't think of that?"

"Right? That is why I want them to be our friend and not our enemy"

Behind them, the people at the back are whispering among them.

"Gen. Miller is really bold talking to Mr. President so casually"

"Young man, it seems you haven't heard about it but the two of them had been old friends before the president even took office so it's really not surprising"

"Really? I never heard of that- Oww why did you smack my head for?"

"I'm a senior official so address me with discipline and respect, got that?"

"Ow~ ow~ I got it grandpa!"

"Call me General, you a.s.shole!"

********

"Mr. President, what do we do about General Davis? He's nephew just died in front of him. I'm pretty sure he's holding a grudge against you for not avenging his nephew's death" General Miller and the president just stopped at the front door of the Oval Office while the entourage following them, stopped a few meters away to give them s.p.a.ce to talk privately.

"I guess it's time to have a new Chief of Staff so take care of him for me" the president smiled while patting his shoulders before he entered the office and closed the doors behind him.

General Miller just stood there dumbfounded while staring at the door in front of him but a few seconds later, he recovered from his daze and saluted joyfully in front of the door as he realized the meaning behind the look the president gave him.

"Yes sir!" he walked so fast towards where the current Chief of Staff is detained that he disappeared immediately.

And the people they left behind looked at the empty s.p.a.ce dumbfounded and wondering what the h.e.l.l just happened.

******

Inside the Pelican.

Leo was sitting down while laughing "Who the h.e.l.l names it Ol' Biggie? Like seriously!? It should be 'The Big One' instead"

"Holy s.h.i.+t, that is nice" Leo smiled smiling while looking at the notifications tab.

"Sir, where are we going next?" Alex asked from the pilot seat.

Leo thought for a bit before smiling as he laid back on his seat and said "First stop, New York City! Let's start raiding those banks and any necessary things for the camp!"

The Pelican then headed towards New York City and after that they flew across the country for four days, raiding supplies at the biggest cities of every state and rescued a few survivors along the way.

There was a reason why Leo did all these, he finally let go of his happy go lucky demeanor when he saw that the zombies are evolving too fast than the rate of human survivors at adapting at the post apocalyptic period. He plans to buy a lot of firearms, ammunition, combat vehicles and gears and create an army of his own.

"Alright, Let's go back home!" Leo said while stepping inside the aircraft, following behind are 17 people from women, children but mostly men of different ages wearing ragged clothes who cautiously followed behind him as they entered the aircraft.

"The women and children take a seat while the men can sit on the floor" Caleb said he put down two filled to the brim duffle bags on the ground with the rest of the other bags filled with all kinds of supplies and took a seat near the hatch.

And they arrived back at Manchester at exactly 20 hours 37 minutes and 23 seconds.

They raided over $150,000,000 along with the $5,000,000 and 37 gold bars he got from the deal with the president and a lot of supplies that could last them for over a year or 2 years if they eat sparingly.

"They are back!"

"The boss is back! I wonder what they got this time!"

"Man! I really wanted to with them to the US!"

"Then you should train more because the 'Devil' is back!"

"Hey! Stop reminding us that he's back!"

The Pelican hovered above the camp before it slowly came down to the ground while the hatch slowly opened revealing Leo standing there smiling as he looked at the commotion below, especially at Amanda and Mich.e.l.le.

Leo turned to the survivors they rescued along the way who are wearing excited and curious expressions on their faces with happy and relieved smiles on their faces.

"Well folks! Welcome to your new home! Survivors!"
