Chapter 49

Alex who heard Joe's words also felt calm because it meant that Joe's people had recognized Leana as an important person for them. If Joe's men had admitted Leana they would have done what he said to protect Leana no matter what.

"Then ask for his help in the future." Said Alex while lightly punching Joe on the shoulder.

"It's okay to leave it to us to take care of sister-in-law. Brother Alex is calm in doing anything because there are we who will guard behind Brother Alex. Leave it to us for the back of Alex's back. We promise we'll do our best." Said Joe with the same determination and promise as the previous promise he had told Alex when they entered into being special soldiers and became Alex's subordinates.

Alex just nodded his head indicating he agreed with what Joe said just now.

"Further the meal afterwards you can practice or rest all up to you. Because the journey is still far away. Chances are we'll be out of the woods by night." Alex told Joe to remind them.

"We understand well. After until we'll go straight in or we'll wait until the new morning goes into the forest?" Ask Joe so he can get ready.

"It should look at the situation on the ground later if possible we will go directly into the forest. But if we can't we'll stay in the RV until the morning just get into the woods." Alex explains to Joe's people and his family the arrangements he has made.

"We should all rest to restore energy because later we need to walk a long way to get into the forest. Which will drain our energy. Not to mention that we do not know what we will encounter in the forest, we should get ready and be vigilant first to avoid things that we do not want." Leana immediately gave the input so that the family could best consider what they should do in earnest.

Sure enough after Leana said this, she saw her family thinking earnestly. Finally, while eating, they also had a discussion.

Soon the decision was taken after discussing that they would rest to gather energy to enter the interior of the forest.

After they finished eating, Top immediately replaced David to drive an RV so David could have lunch.

They have also discussed so that everyone can get enough rest they will change their driving every 6 hours.

Everyone will change for driving but the exception for the women in their families is not to change for driving but the women are handed the responsibility of RV hygiene.

As for grandfather because he is old and can not take too long to drive grandfather will only drive for 3 hours and then will be replaced with others.

The sequence starts from Dave, David, Top, Gery, Joe, Tee, Hyu, Luke, and Alex last order. Having finished eating all the family returned to their respective rooms.

Arriving in Leana's room immediately took out a waterproof military backpack for everyone. Leana also took out clothes, pants, underwear, toiletries, food, drinks, medicine and also a flashlight.

Leana who was asked only looked at Alex for a moment but immediately continued what he was working on. While working Leana answered Alex's question.

"I prepared this backpack for everyone because we don't know what's going to happen in the woods. If there's a family separated suddenly they can use the contents in the military backpack to save lives until we can help. This way we don't have to worry too much because at least those who are separated won't starve."

After the explanation given by his wife Alex only realized he had not thought of this. Because of this Alex feels grateful to be married to Leana.

Although Leana is not very good at organizing strategies or making good planning, Leana can make up for Alex's shortcomings.

As of now Alex had not thought they would have the possibility of being separated. Because Alex believes in his power as well as the power of Joe, Tee, Top and Hyu.

But as Leana said even though they are strong but still there is a possibility of them being separated let alone they do not know the conditions in the interior of the forest.

At this time Alex is grateful because with the presence of Leana he is always reminded again so as not to be too dependent on his strength because in addition to strength there are other factors that must be considered.

And this factor can be fatal if ignored. Although what Leana did seemed trivial, insignificant, and even made it difficult for people to move because it carried a load.

But it can be a lifesaver at critical times. Alex is very supportive of his wife to do this. Alex then noticed what Leana had brought out.

"Honey also remove the rope, map, mancis, and compass. Also remove bulletproof vests for each person. Do you have gloves? If there's a take out too." Alex said after noticing what Leana had prepared.

Leana, who heard Alex's words, took out everything Alex said. After all they got out working with each other, Alex helped put all the guys' stuff into the military backpack.

For Leana she arranged all the belongings of the women. Then they put in each military backpack medicine for wounds and injuries, anti-insect drugs, bandages, food in the form of bread and biscuits that can last for 2 days, drink 2 bottles with a content of 2 liters.

Not to forget also Alex and Leana put the map, mancis, compass, flashlight into the backpack. Then Alex helped hang the rope to the military backpack.

"Alex do you think this is enough or something needs to be added again?" Leana asked with a worried tone. Leana was afraid that she would forget something that she would most likely need to have for emergency purposes.

"I think this is enough for first aid. Because sometimes people need to learn with their own experience in order to move forward. If all of you are prepared then they will not learn how to deal with problems in urgent circumstances. This one would be fatal for their own safety. Especially in unsafe conditions like today. Everywhere there are zombies who always want to eat humans, if they don't learn to protect themselves then they can be wretched." Obviously Alex because for him what he and Leana just did was prepare a backpack for the family, it was more than enough to ensure the safety of the family until they could be helped by him.
