For Selene, Azra is a mysterious guy, and his composed and serious personality, did not matched someone who has been out of fights, for a long time. He is more like a seasoned military commander, rather than just a simple merchant. What is even more shocking, is just how readily and decisive he is to help Scarlett, this particular situation is a dangerous one, they were about to entered the jaw of peril, yet, there is no sign of hesitation at all can be seen on his face.
"…Alright, Selene… Look at this map…. Where do you assume, Scarlett current location is at the moment?".
Azra casually hand over PAD, which Selene naturally knew what it is, being a seasoned combatant that has travelled all over the place, she recognized a lot of tech items, But, even so, she never has seen a fully intact PAD, with colored screen and with no screen crack or blemished on the body.
"Selene, Focus…". (Natasha)
As if catching on that Selene thought were about to be clouded by all the luxury things that Azra had, Natasha gently nudged her, bringing her focus back to the important matter at hand.
"Scarlett told me beforehand, that the Herman Group asked her to scout this location…Jouston City St. John Hospital… That place is a well- known Zombie nest… an area that is known for its danger level… Herman Group cannot go astray that far…as this particular location has only one way in and out… and I am sure that Scarlett will give them a hard time, trying to catch her….". (Selene)
Selene skillfully used the Tablet Pc or PAD as she called it, to navigate the map app, and she showed me the location that she surveyed, was the Jouston City St. John Hospital, located just 2 kilometers north from us, near the city center, and just like what she said, the entire area was packed with red dots. The area around the St. John hospital were a mess, there were a lot of fallen buildings all around it, forming a walled of area around the hospital.
"Got it… Alfred, Find the Herman Group current location…. Switch to heatmap overlay… find the biggest and moving concentration of heat…around this targeted area… find me that Herman Group…".
"[Understood, Sir… Commencing Searching protocol…]". (Alfred)
Selene just watches on the sideline at what is currently happening, Alfred, the Automaton stand close to where Azra was standing, and as it received its command, Alfred stood still.
"Is that…. Magic? and where did all the stuff back here just go to?". (Selene)
Selene once again baffled, as she finally noticed that the truck bed was empty, all of the stuff that were filling the truck bed, including her and Scarlett belongings were gone. To make the matter even more bewildering, Azra just casually stretches his hand into nothingness, and then pulled out all sorts of bags out. One bag was filled with all sort of firearms, another was bullets, then another was grenades, and then protective gears, one after another bags that he pulled out and unzipped just filled to the brim with all sort of things.
"Selene…stop staring at Azra…help us unpack all of this…". (Natasha)
"Oh…okay…". (Selene)
What made the situation even more frustrating for Selene, is that Natasha was looking at all these happening like it was normal and nothing wrong with the whole picture at all. So, whether this was odd or not, not want to be left behind or being seen as ungrateful, she too helped unpack everything. And minutes later, all the arsenal were laid out on the truck bed, and it was so shocking and mind boggling for Selene to understand everything, as Azra had a full and complete arsenal, an arsenal completes enough to even go into war.
"Tch! …if I got enough time… I want to use a tank, for this kind of things… Nat, remind me to buy a tank later, okay…".
"Yes, Honey…There, I put it on our grocery list… But, can we even buy one?". (Natasha)
"We can… Heck, we can even buy a fighter jet, if we want to… but for now, we could buy a helicopter first… buying a jet or airplane without a working runway, those things would just waste our money…".
Selene on the side, were taken aback due to Azra and Natasha seemingly casual conversation, where would they even able to buy a usable tank, in a major city? That thing cost a lot of coins, like tens of thousand of coins, and here the 2 of them talking about it, like it was just a normal grocery for them to own one.
"Um…. Azra… can you really buy… a tank?". (Selene)
"Hmm? …well, I could… but even if I buy one, we can only get them a day later… so it was useless… Oh… wait a minute…".
Steeling her courage, Selene in time, seriously asked Azra if he could truly able to purchase a tank, as their conversation sounded so absurd, Naturally Azra answered her question casually, not at all lying about a single thing. Only then, Azra realized that Selene just witnessed all sort of thing that would baffle any normal person in the wasteland.
"Selene… if Azra said he can buy it… then, he can…. It was surprising, isn't it? …seeing all this thing in front of you...". (Natasha)
"It is shocking, surprising and just abnormal… Everything that he owned… are all new… like these weapons…these bullets… even the PAD and the truck as well… all of them brand new… and don't even get me started on how he agreed to help me almost instantly…he drove us here these whole time without even asking how dangerous it is… and he acted like all this was just a normal day for him…". (Selene)
"Well… Natasha asked me to help you…and since you and Scarlett is about to be my wife… no matter what, I had to help you…it is my responsibility to do that…I don't see anything wrong with it…Geez, you both sure love to make a big thing out of nothing…".
Thanks to Natasha noticing the piling question that Selene had, and slowing down the tempo of the current situation, finally Selene was able to voice all of her dilemma.
"Natasha…look at this…This kind of high-quality and brand-new rifle… brandishing it out there and you have a whole bag of it… this can cause a war… bandits, scavengers, almost every single person on this wasteland would want to have them…and all of them would be blinded with greed to steal them of our dead body… Azra, nearly everything you brought out before us right now… is a magnet for a massive trouble…". (Selene)
Clearly, Selene was frustrated, by Azra actions, he was so casual with everything that, he looked like an idiot, prancing around with all sort of items that were on the level of a treasures.
"Selene… Now you get… what I meant… by unique right? And by the way… all this, is not the full extent of what he can get…". (Natasha)
"Sigh~ …I see… now I got it, Natasha…". (Selene)
Natasha could only smile warmly after hearing Selene long winded rant. And seeing her smiles, Selene now finally gets it, Azra unique talents and unique personality, is just absurdly unique that it can bring a lot of problems. Selene can clearly see how good and kind Azra was, he doesn't need a grand reason to helped his family, just asked him, and he would do it with no question asked. Certainly, a quality in a man and a husband that anyone would fall to, but at the same time, this good quality of his also his weakness. Selene can see, why Natasha was madly in love with him, but also very worried about him as well.
"My role as his wife…is to support him fully… everything he do has a reason… and for his family, he would do absolutely anything…. Even putting himself in danger… so, as a second wife to Azra…I hope that you can help him do anything he liked…. Safely…". (Natasha)
"…As his second wife…I supposed I would do that…I am more than happy to do so… he really is clueless…. but, extremely charming as well…". (Selene)
Selene and Natasha smiled and chuckled together, as they now reached an understanding between women/wives. Whilst, Azra just looked at the 2 awkwardly.
"Alright... stop that… stop whatever you were doing… and let's geared up… and Selene…".
"Yes? ...". (Selene)
"I loved the look you got right now…. But that Leather tight one piece isn't going to stop any bullets….so wear this, new vest and gear… you as well, Nat… since we are going in together… I want all of us to also leave together as well…".
Once again, the 2 women smiled, nodding to each other's and silently wears their designated protective gears. Azra certainly felt the 2 women already in their womanly coalitions and said nothing about it at all, and just silently prepared for the upcoming battle.
