After observing the items and tomes the survivors collected, Leon only selected half of them and put them inside his magic box. The tomes weren't that useful, so he left them to the survivors, they would need to rebuild and protect the city in case something like that happens again.
Around five hundred soldiers died, and more or less two hundred civilians perished… even though it was crazy, Leon wanted to protect all of them. Despite that massive loss, several people thanked him for his hard work. Leon didn't feel like he deserved their gratitude. Besides, he still had to fight to protect the other four cities. However, much to Leon's surprise, several choppers landed nearby, and Leon recognized several figures inside those choppers, Tom, Arthur, Jess, and the others he worked with for a while in New York.
"The cavalry is finally here… but I guess we are too late." Tom frowned when he saw the sea of monsters around.
"I thought Sarah said that she was short-handed…" Leon said.
