My Doomsday Farming Truck - Chapter 57
Arther also wanted to try the power of his new weapon. He also had to teach everyone how to operate it. He waited for everyone to gather then led them to the bunker on the roof. After everyone was on the roof they were surprised by the true size of the ballista and the javelin loaded on it. One shot from this thing can burst a human into pieces.
Arther went to the ballista he touched its surface with shining eyes. Weapons were a man’s fantasy, so does Arhter. After a few seconds, he looked carefully at the construction of the ballista, as he thought about it a system panel appeared in front of him,
[Weapon system.
Level: -8
Weapons: 1) Javelin Ballista.]
Seeing the level Arther had a wry smile on his face, he was looking forward to upgrading the system..
He selected the Ballista option and a new screen appeared in front of him.
[Javelin Ballista.
Level: 1
Range: 400m
Single target weapon.
(Upgrade option) ]
The level of the ballista was surprisingly 1, after thinking about it Arther had an idea about this, it may be that a certain thing created by Arther out of the system will be level from 1 while those present from the beginning were calculated according to a certain base value of the system.
Along with this information, Arther also received information about the use of the ballista.
In the excited and surprised eyes of everyone, Arther held the handle behind the ballista and aimed at a tree 300m away from them with the help of the scope above the ballista. After confirming the aim he pulled the trigger, with the sound of javelin breaking the air it was launched. The strength of the strings was so high that the javelin reached the tree in a blink of an eye and poked through its trunk without any obstruction. After passing through the tree it didn’t stop till half of the javelin was dug into the ground.
Seeing this scene all of them breathe in cold air. The destructive power of the javelin was beyond Arther’s imagination. After this Arhter reached them how to reload the javelins, after this was done he led everyone down again. For this ballista, he already had a plan. After everyone gathered in the living room it felt a bit crowded due to the increase in the number of people, everyone got adjusted anyway. After everyone was settled down Arther started speaking out his further plans.
“I guess everyone has now got accustomed to the environment and living in the MCV, from now this will be our home. Now let me explain our future plans, first I have planned out the route and our destinations.”, when Arther spoke of this he turned on the TV in the living room, on it he displayed the map he had marked with all the information, it consisted of the many dots of blue, green, black, and red colors. This map contains the location of the places with the beast and animal kingdoms and the treasures too. Arther was showing this to everyone now because it was time for them to know about a few of these things, according to Arther’s past life experience tomorrow morning at 9:00 the apocalypse will strike the world. At that time he wanted his family to know about all the important things to avoid panic.
He needed their support to fight all those things in the future hence sharing information was a way of him showing his trust in them.
He took a deep breath, “Before I speak about our plans I want to share some important information with you guys. From the beginning, all of you must be having many questions which I have been avoiding. But today I am going to answer all of your questions. I just hope you believe me, many of the things I will say about might feel odd but I assure you that every single I tell you about is true.”,
With this he observed everyone, he waited for them to be more alert and understand all the things he tells them. After a few seconds of silence, he started speaking, he told them about everything from the undead, beasts, bloodlines, abilities, warriors, evolutions, treasures, and the base cities built by the governments for hiding. As he kept speaking the expressions of everyone kept changing, Arther observed all this but didn’t stop speaking, he knew they might not believe him but he still patiently explained every single thing to them, he also told them about the outer cities and lives of people there. About the inhuman activities of survivors, what is the difference between a human and a survivor. He told them about all this to make them understand the importance of what they have got and the seriousness of the problem they were going to face.
As they heard about all this everyone was having a storm brewing in their minds, after a certain time they have forgotten to think about all these things, they were lost in the imagination of the world Arther spoke about, they were worried, angry, feared to face it. All their world views changed in a few minutes. Few things were more difficult to believe in such as cannibalism, etc.
After Arther was done speaking he waited patiently for everyone to calm down. he knew very well how difficult it will be for them to accept all this, but they must be considered lucky enough to have this chance since all the humans had no such chance, those who accepted it easily become stronger, and those who had any difficulty accepting this reality were eliminated.
After a few more minutes everyone slowly calmed down to a certain extent. Seeing this Arther nodded and started explaining about his plans, “Since now everyone knows about the truth, no one needs to fear I have enough strength and knowledge to help all of us get stronger. The future might be dark but we need to work together to fight against it. And our journey towards getting stronger will start today, now on the map, I have marked few places I know about. The first is the green dots which represent the base cities I have talked about, then comes the blue color which represents the treasures, the red represents the areas ruled by many strong entities, while the biggest black area represents the area ruled by the undead.”
“According to what I know the governments must have already done with building the base cities, while the treasures have a certain time period of appearance. For the first 3-4 days there will not be any red and black area. But we have to be careful since this area is formed when either a string entity appears or a huge number of certain entities appears. In anyways we need to be careful in these places from the beginning. These places marked by me are not the end, there might be many things I don’t know about.”
“According to what I know I have prepared a plan, in 7 day from now there will be a treasure appearing in the deeper forest where we will be heading, most of the animals and insects will be in hibernation for the first few days of the apocalypse so our journey will be safer while going there we will pass through a place in the mountains about which most people didn’t know, this is a war warehouse of our country and contains a huge amount of rare metals and other goods and weapon. I expect to find some good heavy weapons to mount on the MCV. With this, our journey will be more secure.”
After he explained his plans everyone was lost in thoughts, after a small silence Nanny was the first to speak, “Brother Arther, according to the route you said do we have to pass through that black area, and why is the entire city F marked as black.”
