The journey begins.
After having lunch it was time for them to leave, After being briefed their plans once again and their rolls, he allocated his father to be in the seat beside the driver's seat for an emergency with a shotgun and few bullets, one submachine gun with 10 magazines was placed below Arther's seat. While Jessy, Nanny, and Uncle John were allocated to the watch duty Arther has asked all of them to be there for practice purposes, since in the beginning there will not be any danger they just need to get used to the watch duty in a moving MCV. And this was the best time for it. Both Jessy and Nanny were provided with a revolver and 14 rounds with 7 loaded at a time, and Uncle John was given a shotgun. These guns were just for an emergency, and for others to get used to the touch of it.
Abella was helping Mey with her work in the greenhouse, the greenhouse was well maintained by Mey, there were sprouts grown out of the soil patch, a few leafy veggies were also grown in the hydroponics, the fish and poultry also looked healthy.
In the driver's seat, Arther turned on the engine and started the MCV. With this their journey also beginner in which they will experience the wonders and miracles, meet new people. Some will stay while some might leave. A journey to becoming the strongest, a person who will rule the world in the future, begins at this moment.
A few minutes later they were traveling through the soil road leading in the mountains, both sides of the road were enclosed by tree canopies. On the roof Nanny and Jessy were not in any good mood, the heat from the sun was directly falling on them, they had to keep cold water strips on the head to avoid sunstroke. Arther wanted them to get used to these conditions as soon as possible hence he didn't allow them to return to the MCV.
As they kept moving they came across few broken houses, these houses were the properties built by the city government a long time ago for the trekkers and tourists, but slowly this went out of business due to some unknown reasons, with no more money to maintain the houses they were abandoned. Due to their location no one bought them.
As they moved deeper the houses and clear lands started being covered by forest, they were beginning to enter the forest area. The road started to get narrow, but the speed of the MCV didn't slow down, Arther's driving skills surprised everyone. His father sitting next to him knew better than anyone else how difficult it is to drive the MCV. Being an ex-military man he has seen many military drivers with the best driving skills, but they also needed training and practice to learn those skills.
"What do you think, how can Arther drive so well. As much as I know him he didn't know how to drive.", Jessy spoke to Nanny while applying cold water to her face and head.
"I don't know, but brother Arther is amazing.", Nanny was better than Jessy, she was observing the passing scenery and enjoying the journey.
"Ah, who am I even talking to.",
with passing time the sunlight also reduced, they were now already driving for three hours, they were now in the westernmost area of the city, from here Arther had decided to enter the deeper parts of the forest. As they entered the forest Arther was feeling a bit nervous since from here the graveyard was just a few minutes away, soon they will be reaching there. The road here was a bit well built compared to the previous road since many vehicles carrying dead bodies were needed to pass through here. But there were no houses or residents nearby due to this.
Before entering that place Arther stopped the MCV for few minutes and asked everyone to take some rest. From morning itself he was not having a good feeling. Hence he took extra precautions so as to avoid any danger. According to his past life, there should not be any problems till tomorrow morning but he also can't ignore his instincts.
His father also felt Arther's nervousness and understood that there was something that disturbed Arther. But he didn't try to ask anything. After everyone had some rest and after eating and drinking were done they returned on their journey again.
This time Arther closed the shutters of the windows in the lower deck. Soon they reached the gate of the church. It was a big stone gate with many carvings, the church was a huge construction of the medieval period made out of stone, there were many carvings on the walls and huge statues around it for decoration. In ancient times when the king sends a huge army to conquer this region of the world, there was a great war between the king's army and the joint armies of the rulers who ruled here, after a long and bloody battle the king won this battle. But the battle resulted in huge casualties. This church was built by the army general of the king in ancient times to give a proper funeral to the dead soldier. There were many stories and rumors about this church.
The amount of dead in this graveyard has kept increasing from then on for many years, now the count of the dead which can be risen was unknown. But it will surely be a huge number.
There was a rumor that the general's dead body was also later buried here at his request. And according to the rumors when the dead rose this general was the one who led the undead. But no one was able to confirm this. Arther was not interested in this, he wanted to pass through here as soon as possible without any difficulties.
What Arther didn't know was that this journey would never be as he wished it to be.
