My Doomsday Farming Truck - Chapter 78

The night went without any issue. After seeing Rose conditions when she came to their door Arther knew this forest was filled with hidden dangers so to avoid any problem in the night he asked John and Jessy to keep watch for the night, he also provided them with the military binoculars and night-vision goggles and the SIG MPX for better security.

For the night except for those keeping watch all others had a good night’s sleep.

***************

In the medical room,

After having her dinner Rose had a feeling of fullness which she was longing for the last two days. Though her military ration was able to provide her with enough energy it was still different from the cooked food.

After relaxing for some time thinking about her previous communication with those people and the information she can deduce from that she thought about many things. After thinking about these things without any result she gave up for the time being, for now, she had to find a way to get back her equipment and then think about her further plans.

She had to find a way to contact the military and ask for reinforcement to rescue those stuck inside the warehouse..

What she didn’t know was that there will not be any military coming to help them even if she ask for it. And even less to rescue few soldiers.

She checked out around the room for any surveillance instruments, after confirming that there was none she slowly went to the door, when she tried to open the door to her surprise it was locked and that too from inside. She didn’t remember locking the door, not thinking too much about this she tried to unlock the door but it seemed to be stuck, seeing this she was already sweating as she hurriedly went to the instrument box, but to her surprise, all the tools kept in the instrument were absent as if they disappeared out of thin air.

This confused her as she didn’t find anyone taking the tools out when they came before. With this shock, she didn’t dare to sleep for the entire night.

Early next morning,

At around 9:00 the forest started to regain life as sun rays reached the ground. John and Jessy keeping watch for the entire night were called down for breakfast and some rest. While the whole was gathered for breakfast again Rose was leaning against the medical table sleeping soundly after remaining awake for a long time.

At 9:30, after everyone was done with their breakfast, Arther led Mey to check on Rose’s conditions. When they came to the medical room with Arther’s thought the door was unlocked automatically and they entered the room.

Hearing the unlocking sound of the door Rose was also woken up, seeing Arther coming she increased her alert against him. From yesterday’s event, she understood that these ordinary-looking people were not so ordinary.

Arther went to the stool and sat there while Mey place the plate of breakfast on the table beside the medical table and then went on to check on Rose’s wounds, seeing her actions Rose had the urge to struggle and oppose but she tried to calm herself down as she was a bit afraid of Arther sitting beside her.

While Mey was busy checking the wounds Arther spoke out, “Hello Rose, may I know what happened to your yesterday’s conditions.”

Seeing the questions coming to the point Rose was a bit tensed but she still answered while trying to hide as much as she can and only revealing a few not-so-important things.

Arther understood her attitude easily, “I think you don’t exactly know in what situation we all are in, or rather I should say the whole world is in.”

Hearing this Rose showed a frown on her face as she thought Arther was trying to make some stories to break her psychological barrier but the changes in the forest also made her a bit nervous.

Seeing her falling into the deep thoughts a smile appeared on Arther’s face as he started to explain to her few things such as apocalypse and undead. It took him a full half-hour to explain everything. Of course, he missed out on the part about the MCV, his rebirth, and them killing people in the church.

“Hahaha, you mean the end of the world has come, and the government and military have fallen?”, after a silence of a few seconds Rose started to laugh loudly.

Seeing this Arther didn’t speak anything and just stared at her foolishness with a faint smile, he knew she was just trying to deny the truth.

Seeing the confident expression of Arther, Rose stopped laughing slowly, “I know you have hidden many things from me, don’t worry I will not force you to tell them to me but think about the changes in the forest, being stationed there for more than a month you should know the area well didn’t you find the changes here? think about it.”

Seeing her stop laughing Arther put forth his final reasoning and then quieted down, waiting patiently for her to digest the information he has provided. He was confident that if she is smart enough he will get the information from her and even if he didn’t gain anything he will enter the path forcefully going head-on with any danger there. He didn’t have much time to waste since he didn’t know how much time it will require for the upgrade.

Time passed by slowly, and with every pacing second, there was cold sweat flowing down Rose’s forehead, this single news from Arther was like a thunder striking her entire world, if what he said was true then she didn’t know about her family life and death, her only hope of survival the reinforcement might also not come, they were stuck in a forest full of danger isolated from the outside world. Slowly the world she lived in seemed to be collapsing in front of her as her body was completely drenched with sweat.
