"What are you talking about?" the man in question replied back with a confused look on his face.
"Is it true that the boss has some kind super cool abilities!? I heard that he could take out things from thin air!" the young man said with an enthusiastic face and the others who eavesdropping on the side immediately perked up their ears and waited for the answer of their team leader.
The Team Leader smiled and started looking around and immediately noticed his men pretending to properly doing their work even though they were clearly interested in the conversation.
Like that one guy who was taking his time to walked towards the exit of the grocery store to drop the box full of food at the waiting vehicle outside. He was walking so slow that the team leader even wondered if the guy is actually carrying weight plates instead of food inside that box on his arms.
"It's true.." the team leader said looking somewhat proud then he grinned and continued, "he even took out a whole battle tank from out of nowhere" when the men inside the store heard that that sentence, they suddenly stopped what they were doing and turned towards the man and said almost at the same time, "Wait..what?"
"Yeah~" their team leader said smiling as his head continued to nod slowly, "Unbelievable, right? But it's true, you guys can go ask the others who joined at the same time as me like Captain Austin or 2nd Lieutenant Joe"
"Anyway, enough chit-chat! Back to work, you ladies!" he suddenly hollered at them, immediately sending his men back to reality as they hastily did their work but made sure to keep in their minds to asked people about what they just heard today as they didn't have plans to ever to go forward and asked those two mentioned guys that their team leader said.
Suddenly, the boys suddenly stopped what they are doing as they suddenly heard some kind of rumbling sound of a rotor and the sound of air being slice echoing in the now grey sky.
They immediately dropped what they were doing and picked up their guns and hurried outside as all of them immediately looked up in the skies and what they saw was a group of old fighter planes, from biplane to monoplane.
"Oh my days! T-those are Spitfires, a Hawker Fury and a freaking Avro Lancaster!" a soldier said with surprise on his face.
"Wow, did the technology of the world truly degraded this much that people are now even forced to use those relics of the world war!?" another soldier said with some bitterness in his voice.
"They're headed towards North. I wonder what place they're headed?" someone muttered among them.
"Pshh~ Enough. Just do what your told and get to work, now!"
"Yes sir!"
The men then hastily went back inside and immediately continued packing the foods inside like the things they saw earlier was already put in the back of their minds as they just focused on their works.
"Really…" their team leader still standing outside while looking up the skies sighed to himself.
"The world has really changed a lot since"
*****
"I wonder what happened?" Leo muttered while standing in the middle of the asphalt road as he stared towards the direction where the fighter planes disappeared to.
"Are those planes probably heading towards that place?" Leo muttered in question as he remembered something that he saw in the Map.
*****
At Aberdeen.
Colonel Russell and Captain Reeds are currently standing at a wide and clean spot and everything around them are filled with green gra.s.ses and a lot of planes from different sizes.
But where they currently at is not an airport but was actually the Airplane Boneyard of the base. Right now, they are here along with the others as they waited for the arrival for some reinforcements along with some important food supplies for the based that they requested.
"Ughh.. How long do we have to wait here?" Captain Reeds grumbled with impatience.
"Soon" Colonel Russell smiled lightly and gave short but simple response.
"Hmmp~" Captain Reeds snorted and immediately went over towards a large plane and stood under its wing to hide from the surprisingly scorching sun today.
Hearing Captain Reeds rude behavior, the other soldiers just glanced at each other and smiled bitterly, they were already used to Reeds rude behaviour towards the Colonel, especially when they found out that he was actually the Colonel's brother in-law and was rumored to have always had a nasty behaviour even before he joined the army and get to where he is today.
A few minutes later, all of them finally heard the rumbling sound of a rotor and the sound of air being slice echoing in the now scorching hot sky as all of them immediately looked towards the direction where the sound is coming from and saw small black dots slowly getting bigger, heading towards their direction.
"They're here!" Colonel Russell immediately exclaimed in joy and hearing his voice was like a signal that there were already several men lined in a row waving flags towards the group of fighter planes in the sky.
Moments later, the five planes finally and safely descended onto the ground.
A dozen of soldiers immediately rushed towards them as they a.s.sisted the people inside, most especially towards the Avro Lancaster. They started receiving and carrying the supplies that was pa.s.sed onto them towards a nearby pick up truck. The supplies mostly consisted of army rations, breads, a couple sacks of rice and other daily necessities.
A man came out from one of the Spitfires and headed towards Colonel Russell's group along with two others behind him. Every single one of them, including the rest are all wearing black full tactical gear without the helmet and almost all of them are only equipped with Tactical knives, tomahawks and the one leading the team towards Colonel Russell is equipped with two long tactical machetes strapped towards his back but one thing is certain, all of them are armed with improvised firearms that looks like an improvised Austen SMG.
The man and his team finally reached where Colonel Russell and his group are, they immediately saluted and gave a short introduction of themselves.
"I'm Captain Charles and this are my men and we've been sent here to drop off these supplies as per your request" Captain Charles said and then offered his hand forward for a handshake.
"Captain Russell, the leader of this compound. It must be really tiring coming all the way here. Thank you" Colonel Russell smiled and shook his hand.
"Just following the orders, sir"
"Why don't you and your men stay here for the day or more before departing and take some good rest?" the colonel offered.
Captain Charles thought for bit before replying with a smile, "It would be a pleasure Colonel. I hope you won't mind"
Then Colonel Russell along with his men immediately led the way and he made sure to sent someone to inform to escort Captain Charles men after they were done towards the Mess Hall.
But it seems the colonel forgot someone and that someone is Captain Reeds whose now taking a nap under the shade of airplane wing while some soldiers would glance towards his direction from time to time before shaking their heads, not bothering to wake him up at all but instead they would try their best to not a lot loud sound when they pa.s.sed by him.
While walking, Colonel Russell suddenly felt like he forgot something important, 'Did I miss something?'
'Nah, it was probably just my imagination'
