Sparks flew off as harry welded the final portion of the front portion of the truck. It was conical shaped with metal spikes all over it, it looked gruesome as if it had come straight out of a horror movie.
It was night time so the light from the welding machine accompanied by red hot sparks falling like rain on the floor created a terrifyingly beautiful ambience.
Arya was on the other side using her ice powers to give a cold treatment to the welded metal in a precise way Harry asked her to do as cooling too fast would make the metal too brittle and cooling too slow would not give the desired results.
Kim was busy hauling construction parts as Aiden watched over everybody and made sure everybody was hydrated properly as she worked on making dinner for all.
The only missing person was Jason who had apparently taken the up mantle to take a truck and find some auxiliary materials needed for the construction of their mini home inside the truck, Specially the black and red paint that was extremely necessary in his opinion to make their new home on wheels aesthetically pleasing.
***
Jason was happily riding the truck now having collected all the materials he needed and he was on his way to another jewellery store to get more coins and rid himself of the debt.
He stopped in front of the store with a screech. He was in love with driving this truck, it felt like you were driving a monstrosity on wheels he could smash cars and zombies without abandon and without the care for harming the truck. And the truck they were going to use for the mini home was bigger than this one so driving that would feel awesome.
*Bang Bang
Jason killed a few zombies that rushed at him. This was his second jewellery store on this trip and now he was just shy of 350 coins to having ten thousand coins.
He saw that the door of this one was smashed away by someone and there were sounds of jewellery being thrown coming from inside.
When he went inside he was surprised to see a man in worn-out clothes filling his bag with anything precious he could find in the jewellery store.
He had a face filled with greed that indicated that he found such a task quite pleasurable. He had not even looked at his side even when he shot zombies outside. But it could be related to the fact that he used a silencer on his guns and they made very less noise. He walked forward
*Crunch
The sound came as he stepped broken glass lying on the floor, he did it deliberately to indicate the man of his presence.
The man's head jerked towards his side as he fumbled to put the bag full of jewellery behind him before picking up a baseball bat to defend himself.
"W-Who are you," The man asked cautiously.
Jason suppressed his laughter at seeing the man secure the bag of worthless jewellery before picking up a baseball bat to defend himself.
"What matters is not who I am, What matters is you and what you are doing here inside this store," Jason said as he pointed his gun at the man. Seeing the previous actions of the man he felt lie messing him for a bit. Jason did his best to sound as manly he could with no trace of laughter in his voice.
"I- I was just roaming around picking thing here and there inside this store" the man tried to hide the bag behind him by moving forward a little bit. It was quite comical as how could Jason miss such a large bag behind the man.
"Stop fooling around" Jason threatened as he aimed the gun at the man's head. He was trying his best not to just laugh at the man's now scared expression.
"I -I was stealing jewellery so that when the government solves this problem I could make a big profit" The man explained his whole scheme in a scared tone. Having a gun pointed at your head was quite a motivation to speak the truth.
"You should leave this as the government can't do anything in the short term. You should store some food or water for yourself rather than storing such things. They have no value now."Jason explained sincerely as leaving aside his thoughts of messing with him more. Human lives were far more important to have fun with messing with it.
" The world is in a terrible state and it could take years if not decades for the government or any law binding body to be established again. So it would be better if you leave these and make the chances of your survival higher by storing things that would actually help you survive"
"If they do not mean anything then what are you doing here?"
