chapter 16

The next morning came, Leonard woke up quite early in the morning as usual.

He went to the bathroom and washed his face with cold water and brushed his teeth.

There is no luxury of running water so he had to ration bottle of waters to get himself cleaned up.

He then looks at the now emptied water bottle.

"Look like I have to go to town today to try and find more clean water." he thought.

Outside, sitting on top of the RV Lilly was sitting on a chair out looking beyond the wall.

There is clearly bag under her eyes, probably due to the lack of sleep.

"Good morning Lilly." he greeted.

She just looks at him, nodded then yawned.

"Mind take over my post until Carley coming to take over?" she asks him.

"Sure." he quickly replaced Lilly- who's now heading back to her room for a short nap.

Roughly two hours later, everyone was now awaked- except for the little kids- that's being Clementine and Duck.

Carley who was now on lookout took Leonard placed after Leonard gave Carley his post he left to find Conner.

"Let head back to town to look for more supplies," he suggested.

Conner nodded.

"We're going out to look for some supplies," he told Carley.

"Be safe out there," she told them.

On the road toward the nearby settlement

"So...where is that zombie that you took controlled?" Conner asked him.

"Do you want me to try and call for him?" Leonard can call for Tyrant at any time because since Tyrant was bounded by the system, it was very likely that the system has a way to connect it.

"You should, I want to see it, it's not every day that you would run into a mutated zombie," Conner told him.

"System can you call for Tyrant to my location?" he gives a mental command.

[Affirmative- begin contacting bounded creature, please wait patiently.]

"Well I called for him and it's a success, now all we need to do is wait for him," Leonard told his uncle.

Somewhere in the forest, a huge two meters tall zombie will a bulky built was currently munching on an arm unfortunate non-evolved zombie.

*Crunch *crunch *crunch he chewed the flesh and crunching on the bone.

Suddenly the skull tattoo on the creature neck began to blink.

"Hurrggh?" the creature stood up and dropped the arm of the dead zombie and walked off.

That zombie was Tyrant who heard the call of its master and headed toward him.

On it way, Tyrant encountered a few unevolved zombies shambling around, needless to say, that if any of these zombies were to block its path, they will certainly die.

Leonard and Conner were standing on the open road waiting for the zombie minion that Leonard has caught the day before, they waited for fifteen minutes.

"I wonder how far that dumb potato has wandered," he questioned in his thought.

It was then that the two of them heard some disturbances from the woods.

"Look like it has arrived." from the forest Tyrant marched out, its body was covered in black dried blood- no doubt from all of it recent victim.

"Uncle Conner, meet Tyrant." he then introduced the creature.

Conner began to observe Tyrant while scratching his chin.

"It look quite sturdy and strong, does it have any special ability?" he asked.

"He nothing noteworthy, he does have quite a bit of strength and vitality, however, the creature does have a lack in it agility department," Leonard answered.

"Ruurrghh" Tyrant seen to be quite happy from Conner comment saying that it's strong and began to flexed a bit.

"Quite a strange one you indeed got for yourself huh?" Conner looks at Leonard weirdly and commented.

"..let take him along to Macon, maybe he could probably be of help," Leonard said but in his thought. "Don't judge me when he's basically a copy of your personality wise!"

The three, an old man, a teenager and a corpse then headed to the nearest former human settlement in Peachtree.

Once they arrived, it was already close to midday.

"Alright, where do you want to search first?" Conner asked him.

"I say we start off with searching homes and such, who know there might be something useful," he suggested.

They then look for some small house and start off with it first.

When he arrived in front of one he knocks on it first to check if there are any living human inside.

If there's none then he would force his way in, he and Conner went through that process for every house they visited, fortunately, and unfortunately at the same time, these houses have no living human, once in a while they would run into some zombies, but with Tyrant around, the two wouldn't even need to lift a finger since Tyrant could just finish them with a punch.

By the end of the day, they have managed to gather plenty of useful supplies, such as cans of food, fresh waters, and some hygienic products.

They also happen to find a hunting rifle and a few boxes of ammunition in one of the house.

As a bonus to that Leonard also found some clothes that are big enough to properly disguised Tyrant.

They then quickly packed up and load most of the supplies on the back of Tyrant.

"...you planning to bring them inside of the group?" Conner asked him.

"Yeah, I will have to sooner or later anyway, might as well do it now, don't worry I'll cover him up nice so no would notice him as a zombie," he told his uncle.

"How are you planning to do that?" Conner questioned him.

"With this!" he then pulled out a thick paper grocery bag and poke two eyes hole on it and then placed it over Tyrant's head.
