Chapter 29 - MCV Modification 1

5th March, midnight

In the city, the atmosphere felt more lonely than the last time Arther came. He didn't dwell around the city as he wanted to complete his work as soon as possible today and leave early. He was very excited to get the modification of his MCV completed.

In the black market at Jack's shop, Robert was sitting in the main seat and Jack was sitting beside him, they seemed to be in some heated discussion.

"What do you think about this?", Robert spoke to Jack.

Jack was lost in deep thoughts. Today morning Robert has received a letter from his father asking him to return to their clan mansion, their family had a long history and they had a mansion built many years in the past this mansion can be considered more like a fort than a mansion, it had the capacity of accommodating up to three thousand people. It contained huge walls made with special construction techniques for war purposes, now they have fortified the mansion and an underground bunker has also been built which has enough facilities and resources for the survival of hundreds of people, Robert's father wanted him to return there for his safety. But if he agreed he will have to leave most of his wealth and trustworthy people he has collected here. And considering the conditions, it will be very risky..

And his clan mansion was not his area, it has been mostly developed by the clan elders and the branch of his grandfather's first wife. This was also a great competitor of his father's branch. If they were to leave everything from here he will noose a huge strength that can be useful for supporting his father and sister.

Robert was also troubled by this issue. While they were in this discussion Arther has already entered the black market. As soon as he came Robert also received the news. They arranged everything properly and waited for him, if Robert decides to leave this might be his last deal and he will try to complete it a bit earlier and leave. Though he didn't want to leave he had no other option.

Arther entered Jack's shop, he felt the change in the atmosphere but he didn't dwell about it much. "Hello, Mr.Jack, nice to meet you. Today we can finalize our deal and you can receive your full payment, and I also have few more things to install on the bus."

"Sure Mr.Arther I have all the papers ready you just need to go through them and we can complete the process. Your selected vehicle has been kept securely and we can go to see it at any time."

After they exchanged greetings Jack handed over the papers to him, the papers were about the transfer of ownership of the vehicle, its security check and conditions as well as other required documents. After going through these papers Arther didn't find anything wrong and hence he signed the document and transferred the money to the bank account used by Jack. With this Arther became the sole owner of this vehicle till there is law, these papers will soon lose their importance as only strong rules the world on the end times, and with strength, only Arther can keep it.

After the process was over they went to the same warehouse they first visited there Arther checked on the MCV and its conditions for confirmation.

"Mr.Jack, we can now talk about the other systems I need to install over some of this might not be available with you so I hope you can recommend me somewhere or you can directly make the deal and I will be responsible for only payment."

"I am ok with it Mr.Arther but I think Robert can be more suitable for this."

"Yes, I also think so as he will be the one to install them so Robert you can suggest me some ideas.",

"The one for whom I making this deal has given me a specific layout of how he wants the vehicle to be modified, he wants it to have a complete set of a system which will form a small ecosystem cycle in the upper deck, the lower deck should be completely fortified with metal, the wheels need to be changed with some good ones useful in offroad, and the upper deck needs to have only a few small openings. Else the entire MCV should be like a moving fortress with all living necessities inside."

Hearing the demands both Robert and Jack had a surprised expression as the amount of money required for all the equipment required for this will not be small and they also felt this person behind Arther was not someone ordinary as he had made this order as if he was preparing for the same thing they were preparing for but his approach was a bit different. But this also showed that he had a good internal connection to get any information related to this. So they didn't need to worry about the payment and this deal can also be helpful for them to use their stored materials.

After noting down everything Arther has asked for Robert had a basic blueprint in his mind and started to prepare the list of things to need after which he will make a 3d model in the computer of the modified MCV in which Arther can make his required changes. This was the most commonly used way.

Arther didn't want to rush in this planning as this will decide his future path, hence he wanted Robert to use as much time needed. So he greeted them and left to see the other shops and also try to see if he can meet the weapon dealer and buy anything useful.

At the beginning of the end time, there were not many dangers, common weapons and guns can be useful. At this time the lack of knowledge of the people was the most fatal thing. He was not worried about this.
