Chapter 23 - Vehicle Selection.

At the gate of the 15th number warehouse, Arther asked Jaya and her bodyguard to wait outside and he followed Jack inside.

Arther was very excited as his today's decision will decide his and his family's survival in the future. Before he was only worried about keeping his loved ones safe, but after getting the system he had changed his plans and ambitions. He wanted to see the whole world and have enough power to rule his own destiny.

The warehouse had a rusted smell in the air from all the stored waste automobile parts and other metals. The ground near the gate was damped with tire marks, they seemed to have been left no long ago. The warehouse was lit with light tubes. There were many compartments created by shelves filled with metal and old parts. In the center of the warehouse in front of the gate, there was a huge open space which should have been used for loading and unloading of goods. But now there were nine things wrapped in clothes kept there.

These were the vehicles Arther has selected..

"Mr. Arther I have checked the vehicles and my men have just now shifted them here, come let me show you.", Jack explained to Arther about the conditions of the vehicles as he asked two men working in the warehouse to remove the cloth covering them.

The first from left was a 35tons Mining Tipper truck, it had a cabin for three people and a high weight carrying capacity along with a heavy-duty 6cylinder engine and hydraulic system for dumping. It had 8 mining tires of 12*20 on either side. The mining tires were in good condition and the capacity of the truck was also big enough for Arther to store the necessary things he will need. But in terms of security, this truck was not well and he will have to do any modifications to it. Hence, he rejected this one.

The second one looked like a sleeping yellow giant. It was a Large dozer of 40ton, 1900rpm engine, 600L fuel tank, a 4m long blade in front used for dozing with a sharp edge, and pointed forward-pointing ends. There were huge crawler tracks instead of tires. The personnel capacity of 4-5 people. Arther wanted to select this guy as in front of a huge undead mob this giant with its weight and blade and huge tracks will be a killing machine. It can be used as a steel shield, but the biggest problem was its capacity hence Arther had to reject it.

The third one was a small pickup truck, with high speed and offroad mobility with low weight and a capacity of 4 personnel in the cabin and 6in the back side.

The fourth was an SUV, with a semi-electric operating system and an emergency electric engine. It had a radio control system for using a drone or for radar.

The fifth and sixth were common cars of some famous companies with advanced features.

The seventh was a Lamborgini luxury car.

Arther has selected these vehicles not to select one from but to examine the options system gives for modifying them. Arther had thought when he touched the modified truck in Robert's garage that all the vehicles will not have the same modification using the system. He has thus selected many vehicles with different specialties and sizes to observe the changes in options. And his guess was correct, as he touched each one of these vehicles he found that the system didn't tell about the final modification options but it showed that every vehicle had some specialties like a heavyweight, armor, operating systems, engine, etc. which can be modified accordingly. So he had an option to either strengthen what the vehicle was good at or he can also modify or add something else.

This made Arther's heart race as he can't imagine what will happen to a vehicle if only one of its options is continuously modified. If It was normal times he would have tried it but now he was not in such conditions, he had to think carefully before every step as after seeing the power of the system he was afraid that the butterfly effect he will bring upon will be huge. He had a feeling that there was a huge storm coming towards this planet soon, more dangerous than his past.

After confirming his guess he went to the last two vehicles of which he will select one.

Eight number in the line, it was a cargo carrier truck of 16ton. It had 6 personal cabin capacity, 10 tires, 6 cylinders 5000cc engine, 600L fuel tank with 2km/L.

While the ninth one was what Arther was most fascinated with, a double-decker bus, 26tons weight, with a length of 13.89 meters and a height of four meters, 503 HP (370 kW), 82 seats, Fuel tank: about 850 liters, fuel consumption: about 30l/100 km.

He was confused between these two as one had high load carrying capacity with low mileage while the other had high mileage.

After thinking for some time he decided to buy the bus as he can use the area in the bus more properly than the truck. And there were more suitable modification options for the bus in the system.

The two vehicles had two very different modification paths, the truck can be modified into either an armored vehicle for carrying goods with interdimensional space.

While the bus can be modified into an armed personnel carrier or MCV. Arther has decided to convert it into a spacious MCV for enough space for farming and happy life.

"Mr.Jack, thank you for your help, I have decided to select this Bus as it will be more suitable I hope you will give me a proper price, but you will have to wait for the payment till the 5th, will it be ok?"

"Sure Mr.Arther, you can rest assured I will keep this vehicle reserved for you. You can contact me through Robert your item with paperwork will be kept ready.", Jack smiled as he was happy for selling one of these items, as he has got this bus using some connection, it was a model in use for public transport in the airport. It started having problems due to long time use. And hence was discarded from service. It was kept in the warehouse for a long time now, he was thinking of selling in the scrap market. Luckily Arther has selected this one in order to lock this deal he will try his best.

With happy face all of them left the warehouse, were Jaya and others were waiting.
