My Doomsday Farming Truck - Chapter 88

After a fulfilling lunch, everyone joined the cleaning work on the third floor. With the joint effort of few more people, it became easy and in a few more hours they successfully cleared out the third floor and even the vines on the terrace and outside the building.

When the work was completed the sun was already setting, seeing Arther sent the family’s women to cook the food and take some rest. While he was led to the third floor by Rose.

The third floor was actually an empty warehouse used to temporarily store the goods. On the innermost side of the third floor, Rose led Arther in front of a huge stainless steel wooden door. This was a manually opened sliding door with a key lock.

As for the key, Rose has taken it somewhere from the captain’s room. This passage is in use only when there is a helicopter for emergency supplies. Though it has not been used for a long period of time it was still clean. This was the work of the maintenance team to keep everything here functional for emergencies.

Being the vice-captain of the team Rose knew about everything inside the building. So she became a guide for Arther around all the resources.

When they came to the fourth floor or the -1 underground floor. Here there were many light combat vehicles parked, all of them looked like ferocious beasts in deep slumber. The thick armor platings, rough offroad tires, and camouflaging paints gave them a type of beauty.

Arther moved forward with fascinated expression as he touched the vehicles feeling the smooth surfaces when he counted carefully he found that there were 6 trucks, 5 LUV, 4 LSV, 2 eight-wheeler LAV, and an ESV with mine clearance plug. Looking at these vehicles there was a wide smile on Arther’s face, with these vehicles the combat ability of the MCV can be taken to a new peak.

While Arther was celebrating inwardly Rose led him to an inconspicuous room on the fourth floor.

“This is our combat engineering station. This is where the engineers from the maintenance team work most of the time and there are also a few small good things here stored here.”, with a smile Rose led Arther inside the room. Seeing the shocked and surprised expressions of Arther gave her a bit of satisfaction.

She felt that from the time she had met Arther he has been the one always shocking her and made her almost lose her confidence but now that they were on her turf she didn’t want to lose this chance.

Arther didn’t mind her mocking smile as he was attracted by something even more amazing inside the room. This room was actually just a small rectangular partition with two walls and a door with a window, on one side of the room was the elevated railing used for repairing vehicles along with some automated tools such as a drill, a small crane, etc.

Seeing these tools Arther had already decided to take them down, but this was not what attracted him.

On the other side of the room, there were a few automobile parts, and grease spoiled around the floor. It seemed that someone has left here in a hurry, and in between these things sat a small half a meter high car, it had a tank-like track instead of wheels. And there were few systems above the body, the entire body basically rectangular in shape covered in camouflaged armor.

Arther hurriedly ram towards the thing without considering the grease over the floor, he carefully checked the car and then an even more wide smile appeared on his face.

“Is this what I am thinking?”, he spoke to Rose without looking away from the car.

“Oh, uh that is an RCV. It is a semi-robotic vehicle and can be loaded with various types of weapons. It also has high stability and was made for the newly designed anti-tank guns.”, hearing the things Rose explained Arther was jumping with his fists in the air.

“JACKPOT!JACKPOT!”

No one knows what he was having in his mind.

Rose also didn’t know about it as being in the military she has seen and even operated much more advanced type of RCVs, she has even seen the fully robotic vehicle that can complete the missions from a long distance, so for her, this was not a big thing.

What she didn’t know was that Arther had a system that can create a monster from all these things.

After calming down for a few seconds Arhter checked the room more carefully and found many good things such as the design drawing of the RCV and its user manual, he also found a small reconnaissance drone, and much other information and drawing. All this was easily recorded by the system.

Rose looked at Arther with an odd expression all the time when he flipped through those dense papers and designs. Even she was not able to understand a word in those things after being there for more than a month but Arther just took a glance at the materials.

After they were finished here Rose led him to the lower floor.

The lower floor was divided into small sections for storing different materials. All the goods in these sections were packed in tight wooden boxes, Arther casually opened a few boxes to look at the content inside and was satisfied, there were a huge amount of various bullets, magazines, rifles, automatic guns, grenade launchers, standard pistols, submachine guns, carbines, machine guns, shotguns, sniper rifles, anti-tank weapons, anti-aircraft missiles, etc.

Looking at the sheer variety of arms made Arther happy, with this amount of Arms he can be assured to enter some gathering places or even base cities. Most of these things were not of much use for Arther since he knew the monsters will soon get stronger and these weapons will lose their use. But these weapons have another use for him,… to trade.

Yes, to trade. He can trade these weapons for some other materials in gathering places and base cities. There will always be a huge market for these things even in the future since even tough monsters and beasts are immune to guns same can’t be said for humans.

In the next few sections, there are also not many fragrant things, one was completely filled with the bulletproof vest and many personnel equipments, while the other had the military rations, some canned meat with long shelf lives, and a large number of energy bars.

For all this loot Arhter already has some plans.

And then they came to the last section which was currently the most important one for Arther. When they entered there was a strong metallic smell inside and the warehouse section was filled with various cardboard boxes on shelf extended till the roof, Arther greedily went to open a box and saw the content inside, it was filled with shining ingots of armor steel, he then hurriedly opened few boxes on other shelves and the content inside satisfied Arther. There was iron, refined steel, silver, copper, aluminum, there was even a large quantity of gold, and other costly metals such as beryllium and molybdenum. What made him happy most was the last shelf in the innermost part filled with wooden boxes, when he opened them they were filled with blocks of Titanium and Lead.

With this, the defense of the MCV can be guaranteed.

They didn’t go to the sixth floor as Arther didn’t want to blow their temporary home for now. Once the MCV is done with the upgrade he will do it. Until then let the treasure inside have a little rest.

Rose was relieved seeing that Arther didn’t insist on going there. After the tour was over they went up to have some rest and also for dinner.

Arther has decided to start working on the MCV today at night itself. Because he doesn’t know how much time it will take to complete the upgrade.. And without the MCV he was not feeling much secure and comfortable.
