"We! We survived!" said the man that was standing with the 5 women.
""Uhn... sniff wanna"" every one of the survivors started to cry tears of joy and from there facial expressions it was clear that they wanted to say thank you to the two of them but words couldn't come out of their mouth.
Natasha came by Matt's side and asked "How did you kill the least 4 monkeys they weren't anywhere near you!?"
"I had my ways to kill them!" said Matt not wanting to tell the truth to Natasha.
"Well! I won't push you if you don't wanna tell me" Natasha said walking forward towards the man who was injured the most after and took out some bandages and medicine to apply on his injuries.
Natasha was good as it didn't take her more than 5 minutes to clean the man's wounds and apply medicine to it.
After taking care of him, she looked at the other 6 to check if they had any serious injury but since they only had minor scratches on their body she just cleaned them but didn't apply bandages as they would be useful in case of emergency.
"Th-Thank You!" said the man who was fighting the monkey earlier.
"It's alright we just did what a normal human being would do!" Natasha said with a smile but Matt didn't say anything as he knew that his reason for coming here wasn't just to save them but kill these Monkeys as well.
"We have to get out of here as quick as possible, I don't know if there are anymore crazy giant ass animals waiting for us so let's gather whatever we need and get out of here," Matt said damping the joy of survivors but they knew that what Matt said was right so they collected themselves and got ready to leave.
"You are Angel's mother right!?" asked Matt as he walked towards the scarlet hair women whom Matt had seen in the video hiding Angel under the seat.
"Yes! Yes, I am! I am Sarah Lee's mother of Angel Lee. How is my daughter!? Is she alright!?" asked Sarah as she grabbed the hand of Matt
"Don't worry she is alright and by this time she must have also gotten out of the National Forest and all we have to do is take you out as well so that the two of you can meet again?" said Matt as he pulled his hand out from the hands of Sarah
"Oh! Thank You! Thank you very much. I don't know what I would have done if something had happened to her, I wouldn't be able to face my brother and sister-in-law" said Sarah grabbing his hand again.
"Umm.... your brother and sister-in-law!?" asked Natasha who also came to talk to Sarah.
"Yes! Angel isn't my birth daughter, in reality, I am her aunt she is my brother and sister-in-law's daughter but both of them died in a car accident when Angel was just 1 year old and since both my brother and sister-law didn't have anyone else other than me like a family I was easily able to adopt her as my daughter. She is the only person left that I can regard as a family if something happens to her I don't think I would be able to live at all." stated Sarah as she started to cry.
"It's alright she is alive and fine now all we have to do is get you out of here so that you two can reunite," Natasha said trying to placate her.
Matt on the other hand once again removed his hand from Sarah's grasp and stood their awkwardly as he wasn't good at handling weak women who cry easily. He can easily take care of little child's as he had experience with them but he had no experience whatsoever with weak women
This is so because in the apocalypse women like these are nothing but a burden and they don't survive long and even take down the people they are traveling with. Even though Matt had multiple relationships in apocalypse having many women at once but none of them were weak women who cried in the face of danger. Every single one of them was a strong-minded woman who lived and survived in the apocalypse hence Matt never saw there weak side or ever saw them cry at all.
"OK, let's go we can't waste much time. If the sun started to fall then we will have to stay the night here in the forest." Matt said making everyone stand straight and ready to move.
"Since everyone is ready then here is what we gonna do, Natasha would be at the front and I will be at the back while you all will move in between until we reach the tourist road but we won't be crossing the steel wire as then we will be in the open for any animal to attack. We will be walking side by side the tourist road so that we don't get lost in the forest but not too close to it. Make sure you all understand what I am saying." Matt explained the plan.
No one had any problem following Matt's plan as it was reasonable and well thought if a veteran heard Matt's plan than they would be surprised that he came up with such a good plan in such a short time because this plan also had a hidden detail that common people don't understand. The National Beaverhead-Deerlodge forest has animals such as Bald Eagle the king of the sky's and if a mutated Bald Eagle can easily spot them and attack them in open but since they are inside the forest they were out of danger, similarly the animals such as mutated Canadian lynx that love to hunt in the forest and if they encounter someone like that then they could easily run towards the open tourist road where it's the prowess of using trees to its advantage doesn't work.
"Ok The let's go!" said Matt and everyone started to walk.
Natasha walked in the front and everyone started to follow her and since Matt was in the back he was able to store the dead body of the level 2 mutated Monkey in his inventory.
"This compulsory mission was quite easy!!"
