My Doomsday Farming Truck - Chapter 58

Everyone’s attention was shifted to the pace on the map where Nanny has pointed. Seeing a huge black area covering the entire city F, and the surrounding mountains. What shocked them was that the place they were at right now was the nearest to the center of the black area.

Seeing this everyone was having cold sweat thinking that they have spent an entire night here. Without knowing anything. Seeing their expressions Arther had a mocking smile, he has not told about all this till now due to this, the fear inside them will affect their actions.

“Yes, I was going to explain about this. As you can see on the map the entire area around the city F is a black zone, due to the old church and graveyard in the mountains. Every one of us knows how old this church is, but no one knows how many bodies are buried below it. All those will be converted into the undead in the beginning of the apocalypse and move to the surrounding area where there is no living thing.” when Arther spoke about this his mood was also a bit sad since he has seen this happening with his own eyes. It was a nightmare for anyone who experiences it..

Seeing Arther being quiet everyone’s heartfelt heavy since till now Arther has not shown any such reaction even when talking about the stronger entities.

After calming down his emotions Arther started speaking again with a heavy tone, “This pace will soon become a tragedy of the humanity, due to lack of information, time and preparation the city base F fell in two to three hours since the population was highest in the city most of the undead moved there. It was a horde of tens of thousands of undead, nothing was left intact in their path, all the villages in the surrounding of the city were also attacked and the villagers became their food. When an undead is woken up it is the most hungry for the first day, in this time they are a few times crazier. With the fall of the villages, the city was surrounded and then all the humans inside were massacred. From there many zombies have risen, they are formed when a certain living being is infected by the undead. They are stronger than the undead. With this a huge area fell under the control of the undead and a zombie king was evolved from this population. He had huge power, and intelligence equal to adult humans.”

Hearing this everyone was shaking with fear, while their mother was already on the verge of crying with tears welling up in their eyes, such a reaction was expected since they have lived in this place for most of their life and had many memories attached, but now they knew that this place was going to be destroyed. Along with the people they knew and their home.

Seeing this Arther released a deep sad sigh and turned off the TV. Everyone needed some time to digest the information. “Sister and Nanny you both come with me, everyone else goes get some rest we will start our journey into hours, at that time I want everyone in their positions.”

After leaving these orders he went to the upper deck. Nanny and Jessy exchanged looked with each other and followed behind Arhter, Arther didn’t let them rest since he had allowed them to seep for a longer time. He had planned an important task for them earlier, “I know you guys also need some time to digest the information but we don’t have that much time, I have a very important task for you. Being the younger generation I think it is our duty to help and protect our family, hence you will have to learn to survive in these conditions as soon as possible.”, hearing what Arther said both of them following him looked at him with wide eyes but then nodded with a low hum.

They reached the upper deck while talking, Arther led them to the bunker directly. “The surveillance of the surrounding is a very important thing in this dangerous environment. I am giving you these tasks. Both of you will take turns to keep watch for the entire time. Even when the MCV is moving or at night. This is the most difficult task on the entire MCV, so I will send uncle to work with you. Also, learn to operate the ballista and practice your aiming a bit since you might need it in an emergency. There are ten javelins of good quality, I will give you 50 wooden javelins for practice. Uncle John will help you with this. Good luck.”, with Arther left both of them on the roof. Both of them remained dumbfounded for few seconds hearing the task Arther allocated them. When they came back to thoughts Arther had already left, seeing this both of them were angry to the limits. Jessy was already scolding Arther, “I knew it, Ahhh…. you brat. He fooled us in this task.”

Nanny stood quietly without making much noise since she knew if she did anything wrong she will have to face all her anger. Her reason for being angry at Arther was not this task, she was happy since Arther trusted them with such an important task, what she was sad about was she had to work with Jessy.

“Umm, sister Jessy, we don’t have any other option now, and brother Arther has trusted us with such an important task. We must be happy about this.”, Nanny tried to calm Jessy, when she spoke this Jessy was looking at her with the eyes of a predator looking at a prey. Seeing her expression Nanny’s heart skipped a beat as he was sweating profusely, “A-And didn’t you want to use the ballista.”,

Jessy stared at her for some time before turning towards the ballista, “Huh, I should have expected this from you little love bird. Since you are so happy with this task I have an idea, you will take the day shift. Do you have any problem.”, hearing this Nanny was already crying inside but she had no other option than to accept. On the day they will be moving, whoever takes this shift will have to face the dust on the road, wind, sun, heat, and many other problems. While in the night they will be mostly camping so it will be easy to keep watch. Thinking in this way Jessy had a wide grin on her face, she was already thinking of enjoying the daytime. What she didn’t know was that most of the danger appeared in the night, Arther also didn’t tell them about this since he knew Jessy will select the easier one.

In the driver’s cabin, Arther was having a wide grin on his face as he observed their conversation.
