Chapter 27 - Plans

4th March

In Arther's room, at this time the atmosphere was not so good. Arther was already sweating after knowing that he has been caught. If his father were to know about this he will surely have to worry about his future. But now what made him more worried was Nanny's request.

"I hope you can help me with this. I know you all are trying to hide something from me, hence I want you to take me to meet my parents"

"Umm, Nanny you know this is not possible, right? I do have went there, but the place where your parents are is under high surveillance. It will not be easy to enter and if we get caught we will be in a huge problem.", Arther didn't want to meddle in this issue as he had his own problems already. And he knew there was nothing good waiting for him there. So he tried to convince Nanny.

Just as he said so there were already tears welling up in Nanny's eyes.. This was the first time Arther has seen this happy girl in this condition. In his past life, her story was a bit different. She also went along with her mother and then there was no news from them. At that time he thought they died during the undead horde but now he felt something bigger is going on. If possible he would try to avoid Nanny from going there.

"I think there is nothing to worry about. Even then if you are not convinced I will contact a friend of mine to know about the conditions there. If possible I will try to find a way to take you there but not now, you will have to wait for some time. I have some work to complete tomorrow so I will be going to the city. At that time I will inquire about everything and on 8th March we will find a time to go there. How about this?"

Hearing this Nanny was a bit convinced. She replied with a nod and went away. Seeing her back leaving away Arther breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't know why he accepted to take such a huge risk. But a girl's tears were always a man's weakness which no one can escape from, and when he first went to the city he had this idea, and now he felt a bit curious about all this thing. This can also be used as an opportunity to test the system-modified bus.

(Calling it BUS all the time is not suitable as there will be many modifications in the future which might not feel like a bus hence from now on it will be called MCV.)

He has decided to go to the black market again tomorrow night to finalize the deal and also meet with the weapon dealer, he will also have to discuss the modifications with Robert. He has decided to mostly use a complete system of things as an element like solar setup with solar panel, battery, and outlet pin. This will be easier to install and not much time will be required. He will then try to buy some important necessities fr use and metals for the next modification. This will take a day and night, he can then bring his MCV at home and explain everything to his family and if everything goes as planned he wants to use this time of the next two remaining days to convince his parents to sell all their assets and use the money to buys more resources and then he will take everyone to hide in the mountains behind the village a bit deeper and visit Nanny's parents as this move of his will surely be very noisy and he also wanted to use this time to rob few more shops for clothes and food and other daily necessities as it will be impossible for them to return in this city again. He will then move deeper into the mountains for some time, once the apocalypse comes he didn't need to worry about anything. At that time he will plan for his next plan most probably he will try to visit someplace helpful to increase his strengths. He was also not worried about police catching him before as they were already busy building the base.

He can use this time as a chance to store enough resources for them to hide in the mountains and to have a fulfilling life for the first few months in the end times. After the apocalypse, most of such products will either become rarities or go extinct and hence can be used as a currency for trading any useful things.

This plan was very good according to Arther but there were many loopholes such as Robert and others finding out about him through the MCV, and the person always spying around him unknown to him. So no one can determine what will happen in the future, but one thing is sure to happen, this move of Arther will create a huge butterfly effect and he will attract the attention of many eyes he can't hold against at this time. Everything else depends on his luck.

For now, Arther was happy with his plans and dreamed of his bright future. At the same time, Nanny was also happy to hear the confirmation from Arther, from the day she saw her mother leaving hurriedly she always felt uneasy. But talking with Arther she felt like seeing a shine of hope.

Arther also wanted to find her parent due to a reason, her mother was good at indoor farming which he can make use of. And her father was a tough guy he can be useful too. And their family were close to his family for a long time so he will feel a little more secure with them handling his works rather than some stranger.

What made him most nervous was how to convince his family of all this, he can't just explain the truth to them about everything as this will bring more dangers on them than benefits.
