Kapitel 59: Truth

(A/N : IF by some bizarre motive you guys didn't realize, this world ain't the normal TWD its more of an AU than a normal apocalypse world. Though there won't be any super powers or zombies with god know what sharingan or with magic.)

(A/N: Sorry people, I'm an idiot . I forgot to put the chapters on auto posting and yeah both chapters aren't posted. Once again sorry and see you in the next chapter.)

"And what do you want to know?"

"The location of someone or if by any chance do you know about his whereabouts. "

Hearing his words, I could only think about one thing and that's the fact that they are after someone's life, or at least that's how it looks from my perspective. In the worst case, I will have to lie, but if I really don't know the name they are after, then everything will be fine.

"Let's see if I can help you, but don't expect to know every single person in the USA."

"Thank you then. We are searching for the son of our savior. He told us that his son has gathered a group of survivors and those they have a base somewhere around Atlanta."

His description of that son sounds quite familiar with my situation, but it's better to listen to the man and find more about it. Not to mention the fact that I barely know anything about my so-called father.

"He also told us what his son had done for his people. He saved the vast majority of his group, he gave them a safe haven for them to live with their families and he learned with them how to defend their new home."

The more I listen to him, the more I start believing that he's telling my story, but how in the name of all father would he know how my life has been.

"As for his name, his son name's is Eric Jarl, do you know him?"

Unfortunately for him, before I could answer his question, Maxson raised his gun.

"TELL ME ONE GOOD REASON FOR ME TO SPARE YOU!"

Piercer was shocked and confused for a moment, but his instincts kicked in and he tried to take me hostage. Bad luck for him. As I was trained by some of the best soldiers in my base, Olivia, I learned the hard way how to dodge attacks like this one and how to get the upper hand in a fight.

With a swift dodge to the left, I grabbed the man by his shoulder and used my right leg to take one leg of his in the air with a kick. Losing his balance, Alexander hits the ground while I put my knee on his back while I decided to secure his hands with my metal arm.

I looked at the helicopter and I was sure that if I don't settle this situation the whole yard will turn into a graveyard.

Thinking for a bit, I decided to do something crazy and one hundred percent dangerous.

I raised my normal arm in the air, signaling my men to not shoot just yet. Seeing that they relaxed a little, I turned my head towards the helicopter.

"Care to tell me why do you want to find me? Even if your savior told you to find me, that doesn't give me too much information on why should I trust you!"

From the helicopter, I heard a voice, a woman's voice more exactly.

"Doctor Jarl saved us from our leaders and he told Alexander to find you and give you a recording for you to listen. So please just let Alexander go, we don't mean no harm to you."

It took me a second to register what she said, but I could see that she isn't lying about their motives. I slowly raised my body from the poor man and looked at him. On contrary with what I thought I would see, the man wasn't angry, in fact, I could see a smile on his face when he turns to look at me.

"It's good to see that there are still some officers alive. She or he taught you well and you don't have to be sorry for that little thing. I can understand why you reacted like that."

"I'm not sorry for that. I just returned you the offer you tried to make to me."

"Haha. You are a tough guy, Eric. Once again, nice to meet you. Name's Alexander Piercer.

"Eric Jarl, but you already know. Now, would mind?"

"Not at all, here is the recorder. It is a problem if my squad would join us? I think they are quite stiff with how messy our meeting had become."

"I don't see why they won't be able to join us? Even if you will try to attack us, we could still win."

Alexander smiled at my remark, but he was sure that I wasn't joking about my statement.

Four minutes later, Alexander comes back with his squad and I have to say that his squad is the most versatile squad I saw in my entire life. Well not like I had the occasion to see a lot of military squads.

With all of the people somewhat calmer, I press the button on the recorder that will let us hear the message recorded by my so-called father.

"This is the least I can do for you son. Even if you won't meet me, I will let you know someday in the future that your dad is sorry for leaving you and your mother to suffer by yourselves. At least now you will be able to survive this shit whole my superiors created for their greed. The cold war led to our government launching the virus against our enemy. Unfortunately, they didn't take the civilians' safety as a priority. The only thing that matter was to see the enemy die. Well, from that little mistake, the whole world had become the battlefield for the final war between humans. After years of serving as a scientist for the army, I got to the conclusion that young men and women go to war. Sometimes there are forces while sometimes they do it for fame or for their loved ones, but not even one time a soldier that comes back from the war will be the same. The war is a horror story that will haunt you for the rest of your life. Remember this thing son, if one day, you will find a girl that you want to protect and marry her even in this new world, you will have to protect her as she will be one of the things that will keep you sane.

When you prayed to the Norse gods like your mother done, I had one of my men inject you with a serum when you were unconscious, I know that what I did was dangerous and I could have killed you, but the things that you will achieve with the serum was good enough for me to risk it. Once again, I'm sorry for leaving you and I'm sorry for what you will suffer in the future. I don't have much to live as one of the test subjects for the cure but listen to me son: There won't be a cure, this virus won't be cured and no one will get the serum now that I know that I succeeded. Goodbye son and I hope that you will forgive me for what I have done."

I can believe that he saved my life when I was unconscious and how I was basically a test subject, but I couldn't hate him. Yes, despite him leaving me and my mother alone for 17 years, but I understand that he would probably put us in danger if he had chosen to remain with us.

After a minute of silence, I turned my head towards Alexander.

"Thank you, it means a lot for me even if I didn't meet that bastard of a father. What would you guys do now?"

"Well, I spoke with my squad and with Samuel's crew and we decided to join you if you accept us of course."

I couldn't hide my smile when I heard him. We fought and almost went for killing each other, but in the end, nobody was hurt. And I won't say no to a squad of trained soldiers and a helicopter with a crew.

"Welcome to team guys," I said while shaking Alexander's hand.
