My Doomsday Farming Truck - Chapter 43
8th March, morning 7:00.
Due to her biological clock Abella woke up, every day she had the habit of waking up early in the morning to start doing her house chores, but today she was not feeling, as usual, she opened her half sleepy eyes to see at the clock hung on the wall but to her surprise, it was not there, she rubbed her eyes and observed again to find that the entire wall changes, she found the surrounding a bit different than her bedroom. She immediately lost her sleepiness, she looked at her surroundings again, her movements also awakened Jack, he was confused by her actions as he calmed her down. After calming down she remembered everything that happened yesterday.
In Arther’s room, on the double bed above the storage, Arther was cuddling with a pillow his eyebrows knitted tightly as if he was having some nightmares, his whole body was wet with sweat. He suddenly woke up with eyes widely opened, his pupils contracted to the extreme due to fear. He tried to take deep breaths to calm down his heartbeats, after calming down he went down to the washroom, he was still a bit sleepy as he took a bath and went to the kitchen for breakfast. Everything was very natural for him as if he was living here for a long time, this was due to his connection with the MCV.
In the kitchen, his mother was trying to figure out everything as the equipment was a bit advanced than what she used at home. Seeing this Arther went to help her. He can be said to be a living user guide of the MCV, his mother was a bit surprised by this as much as she knew of Arther he has never been in the kitchen so knowing anything about cooking was already a big thing for him than to know about all this advanced kitchen equipment. She had many questions but she remained silent and started cooking breakfast as soon everyone will be waking up, she can ask her question to Arther at any time..
Arther waited for her to complete her works while he was thinking about the dreams he saw today, he was not able to remember the dream properly, everything he remembered was blurred as if an erased from his mind. He didn’t have time to keep thinking about it for a long time as his father also came to the kitchen and soon later Jessy and Nanny also came.
When Jessy came she looked at Arther for a few seconds before looking at Nanny, while Nanny was silent all the time not daring to have a look at Jessy. But she stole a few peeks at Arther from the corners of her eyes. Arther had noticed all of this but he decided to ignore it, he was not ready to face all these things at least for now. For him, Nanny was a very small girl, even though he was currently 16+, according to his previous life he can be already considered as 21.
Soon the breakfast was ready, it was an ordinary bread omelet. Everyone took their plates and went to the living room. To provide as much a place for the kitchen and separate food storage, there was no dining table as it was not a necessary thing. They soon had their breakfast, after putting the plates back in the kitchen everyone gathered in the living room again, Arther was sitting on a sofa chair while everyone surrounded him.
Everyone was waiting for him to speak but Arther remained silent as he ignored them, after some time Jack was the first to lose his patience, “Brat, are you gonna tell us anything or do you need some red roses.”, his father was like a tiger ready to pounce at any time.
Seeing this Arther smiled at them as he jumped up from the chair. “Everyone, I did had few plans for today, but due to some reasons, we will have to wait for tomorrow, believe me, I can’t explain to you the reasons so today whole day I will explain to you all the equipment and their use of the MCV, since this will become our base, in the end, we need to be completely familiar with it, I know you guys still don’t believe in me so you can think of this as camping of our family. Also, I will soon allocate everyone with some tasks that I want you guys to practice well to perform in any conditions. Hope you take this seriously.”
Arther even though being connected to the MCV can’t always divert his attention in all the tasks inside the MCV when in some situations like war. He needed a system of people whom he can trust and they can work together properly. And his family was the best suited for this. If in the end times, it could have been easy for him to allocate the tasks according to their abilities or bloodlines, but now he had to temporarily allocate some tasks, he can change it later. He can’t explain all these things to them for now as they will take him as a fool.
Soon the training began. The first thing was to take a tour around the entire MCV, the greenhouse was always locked and can only be opened by Arther’s iris and fingerprint. I had a good quality of security, so yesterday no one was able to visit here, so Arther first took them here as this will be the most important part of the MCV and everyone needs to know about it. Their tasks, for now, will also be allocated around this. Seeing the security and the inside of the greenhouse everyone looked at Arther like a fool. They thought he might be hiding something good inside instead of a water pool, hens cages, and a soil patch.
“Food will become the most important thing in the future, it will replace the gold and currency so you can consider this place as a private gold mine of our family. And I want everyone to note down everything I talk about it. All equipment and tools here are very costly and of high quality. The entire greenhouse is also the most advanced technological part of the MCV.”
Among everyone present, only Abella was interested in this greenhouse, everyone else was a bit disappointed. If Nanny’s mother was here she could have known the real value of this place as she has known many ways of indoor farming and knew its importance and difficulties very well.
Seeing everyone’s expression Arther had a wry smile on his face as in just 3-4 days these people will know the true value of this place, till then let them have some fun.
“The greenhouse has everything ready but it needs to be filled with all the products, I want mom and Nanny to visit the nearby farms and poultries to buy some hens, quails, and some fish I have listed already. You can find those fish from the uncle in our village owning the pond and try buying both males and females as we will need them in the future. I have also listed down some more things like fertilizers, fish food, fertile soil bags, and a variety of seeds. I have transferred the money to Mom’s account you can pay directly and place everything in our home. No one should know about this place.”
After sending his mom and Nanny away, he led others to explain other things, the other jobs were the defense arrangements and co-driver.
His sister though a great adventurer and fighter in the past life she still require training for now so he asked his father to teach her how to use the guns, in the end times she can practice shooting till then he also thought both his father and sister about some basic operation of driving the MCV and the two bunkers in the upper deck and the gun grooves. They had to know the exact range of each gun and its ammunition counts, and many other technical things which even Arther didn’t know, his father was a well-trained soldier so he taught them all of this. Before using guns was Arther’s instinct now he can improve his skills a bit more.
