Chapter 272: Mysterious Leader

Kane looked as the group departed from the building as they headed toward the direction where the vehicles that Vincent and his group had come in were currently parked.

He was a little surprised after realizing that Olivia was actually this guy’s daughter. Vincent held a very high position within the territory, although he did not actually hold the highest position.

Still, he was among the people that he looked up to. Not only was he strong, but his leadership qualities were quite good as well. So, the majority of the people really wanted to work under him, and Kane was not any different.

...

After the group got out of the room, Storm and Lenta were allowed to come out as well. As for Sarah, she was also carried out of the room that they were keeping her.

Vincent finally focused on the car that Henry and his group had come in. Just looking at it, he could find that it was quite different as compared to the vehicles that they were operating. It looked way more special, though he did not know the special feature that it possessed.

"For this car of yours, it will have to remain here for now. Unless you get permission from the leader of the territory, there is no way that any other vehicle that does not belong to this territory is going to be allowed in the streets of the territory." Vincent stated.

Olivia did not respond to that. But instead, she just looked at Henry, waiting for his response. At this moment, he was the leader, and the Jeep belonged to him. So, he was the one that was going to make a decision on what he was going to do.

As for Henry, he did not say anything. In any case, it was not as if there was anybody that was actually going to be capable of accessing this Jeep. It had already been advanced during the past one and a half months that they were on the way here.

So, other than the complexity when it came to driving it, not just any key was capable of opening it, unless it was a master key that came from the system. So, he was not afraid that there was going to be a person that was going to be able to steal and drive it.

But of course that did not mean that it might not be towed away, before being hidden in a certain basement somewhere. But nevertheless, Henry was not worried about that.

If there was somebody that came over and took his car away, he could still find it. Additionally, just from the reaction that Vincent was having during the moment that they mentioned about the gold rank, it was clear that the power level of this territory was not that much high.

So in case something went wrong, he might as well just go ahead and use force to get his car back.

"Not a problem at all." Henry stated. It was better not to get into an argument right now. At the end of the day, they wanted to solve everything as fast as possible. Otherwise, they might end up dragging things, making them delay on the trip to Hillstown.

Vincent nodded after Henry agreed to that. So, the group got into the two vehicles that had come over. But of course, they could not all fit in. For that reason, the four men that had come together with Vincent had to remain behind.

As for Lenta and Storm, the two of them were going to go there on foot. Unlike the Jeep that had an extra compartment, where the space inside the Jeep was bigger as compared to how it appeared, there was no such thing in the SUVs that Vincent and his group had come over in.

Still, it was not that much of a problem for the two monsters to be able to follow the group. It might be true that Lenta was focused on strength and not speed, but currently, he was already at the gold rank. So, it was not that difficult for him to be able to keep up with a vehicle, that was not driving at its full speed nonetheless.

Henry observed through the car window as the vehicle approached the territory. This territory was constructed in such a way that there was a big wall that was surrounding the entire territory, before another wall that surrounded the residences.

It was clear that this was a two-line defense. In case the zombies or monsters managed to breach the first wall, they would not be able to easily breach the second one.

In normal situations, the outer wall was definitely the strongest as compared to the inner wall. But looking at the wall that was located inside of the territory, Henry could not help but compliment the one who had planned something like this in his heart.

The wall that was found inside the territory was actually way bigger as compared to the one that was found outside. It was clear that this was going to catch the enemies off-guard. Normally, they would expect that after breaking the first wall, it would be easier for them to be able to break the second one.

But they would be shocked on realizing that the difficulty of breaking the second wall had actually been increased by about two times. Although Henry could not see the thickness of the wall, but he could tell that it was definitely not that simple.

Additionally, the craftsmanship that was used for the creation of this wall was definitely quite top notch.

Inside the vehicle that Henry was in, there was Vincent who was currently driving, Olivia who was currently seated behind together with Sarah, and finally, Henry who was sitting on the passenger seat of the car.

In normal situations, it was supposed to be Olivia who was seated in that place. But since she was holding Sarah behind, and Henry could not do that since he was a man, he had to sit on the passenger seat.

Diana, Adam, and Julie were in the other vehicle, together with one of the men who was driving them. As for the rest of the men that had come together with Vincent, other than the fact that there was no enough space to accommodate all of them, they remained behind to make sure that nothing happened to Henry’s Jeep.

Vincent on the other hand noticed that Henry was making some observation on the wall. He chuckled a little bit and said, "That is actually the idea of the leader of this territory. She is quite smart, and that is the reason why this territory is standing here, although we are very close to the heart of the city."

Henry nodded his head. But nevertheless, he was quite curious about this leader of the territory. He was not the only one as even Olivia was quite curious about her.

Completely unlike Henry who had decided to remain silent and not ask about it, Olivia just asked. "Father, who is the leader of this territory?"

"You’ll see her soon. And I’m pretty sure that after the two of you meet, you might end up becoming good friends." Vincent responded with a mysterious smile on his face.

Looking at that smile on his face through the rear view mirror, Olivia could not help but have some anticipation in her heart. Of course her father knew how Olivia was, and even the times that he was forcing her to train, he understood what she liked, but he had to make her do that out of necessity.

So, for him to say that the two of them might actually be friends, then it meant that the other party was definitely someone that possessed a personality that nearly matched Olivia’s.

Deciding not to ask anything more, Olivia remained silent. Silence dominated the vehicle as it drove forward. It finally arrived in front of a gate that was just as tightly guarded as the one that was found at the very entrance of the territory.

After looking at the information of the guards here, Henry found that there was actually one of them that had reached the silver rank. That surprised him a little. It seemed that this place was well more guarded as compared to the one that was being guarded by a level 9 bronze rank mutant warrior.

The moment that the vehicle drove into the territory, Henry and Olivia could not help but gasp a little. That was simply because currently, this place was completely different as compared to the place that they had just come from a few seconds ago.

Inside here, it was as if they had entered another city before the apocalypse. Several buildings had been constructed, and although they were not very tall skyscrapers, but still, they were quite tall.

Initially, both Olivia and Henry could not see them considering that the wall that was constructed around this place was actually blocking them. But right now, looking at the buildings, Henry could not help but get more curious about this leader of this place.

To be able to transform a place like this in just a matter of 2 months after the descent of the apocalypse, this was definitely amazing. He himself was not sure if he was actually capable of doing something like this.

Looking at the two youngsters in the vehicle, Vincent felt proud. He smiled as he said, "I can tell you that she is a good leader, and that is why I’m willing to follow her. Otherwise, if it was just some sh*tty person who only thought about their own development, I would have definitely left this place long ago."

Henry did not say anything but just observed the place. The streets were clean, and people moved around like how they could have done during the time that the apocalypse had yet to descend.

Although it was not that much, and this place could only be compared to a normal small city, but nevertheless, this was the most developed place as compared to any that Henry had encountered during their trip here.

Although it was not that big considering that they could not occupy the entire Lockwood city, nonetheless, Lockwood city was a big city from the very start. So, although this territory was occupying just a part of it, that part was definitely not small.

Almost everybody in the street was possessing an equipment. Although not all of them were fully armed, considering that there were even some that were just wearing ordinary clothes, but from how he could see it, Henry thought that this place was definitely the best place that the majority of the people that were facing the apocalypse would want to be.
