Today, I've decided to not run our business as we always do. After all, I am 'injured' after the intense fighting I've done yesterday, so instead as always, we lounged around our Base, my agenda for today is simply planning our future plans. As we had agreed before, when we added more member to our family, we will be relocating to a new location to set our base. Ever since I pushed these ideas forward, Alfred has been working hard to located our new homebase location, and today, since we are not working, Alfred comes and told me that he had found several suitable locations.
"Where is this?".
"[Siena Lake Village, a small village near the Siena Lake… Located southwest from our current location… it is near the City of Athens and City of Siena…The cities were connected with each other's and the amount of population that they have roughly in the same size and amount as Jouston City…]". (Alfred)
Alfred showed me, a small quaint village in the middle of nowhere, but the best part of these place is, it was isolated, already have a suitable place and land to be redeveloped into a proper town/settlement. It was truly a small village beside a major lake. It just has about 5 buildings in it, none of them exceed 3 floors high, probably just a small store, schools and government buildings.
"[Siena Lake Village is a small community in the middle of the woods…the nearest schools that the villagers go to, is Greek Town which is 20 Kilometers away from the village…]". (Alfred)
"So…any real towns or any sort of settlements nears it was within its 10-kilometer radius?".
"[Correct, Sir…Siena City and Athens City is 30 kilometers away, and the Greek Town is 20 kilometers away… the village areas were complete with variety of terrains, massive lake, forest, mountains and about 50 kilometers due to the south is the beach and sea… this is perhaps the most ideal locations that meet you and Madam Natasha requirement…]". (Alfred)
It certainly fits what Natasha wants and what I idealized as a perfect spot to established a new settlement for my family. But I still have one more requirement that I need as well.
"But, does this village also has a Bunker?".
"[It does, sir…Right underneath this building… Siena Lake Mansion…Located 30 meters north of the Village center, before the war it was designated as the Government issued property, for the retreat of Government high ranking officials…But, off the paper, it was actually, another Observation and Communications Outpost… the same kind of Bunker that we are currently living in…]". (Alfred)
Alfred showed me the satellite image of the Mansion, it was a small mansion, but a mansion nevertheless, the vibes of old money riches was oozing from it. Gated property, 100-meter-wide front lawn parted in the middle by paved stone driveway. On the backyard of the mansion was another 300-meter-wide garden, there is a big greenhouse and gazebo on the backyard as well, a small dock on the edge of the property, as the back of the property were directly connected to the lake shore. Alfred truly showed me everything that I wanted to see, on dozens of pictures showing the property clearly.
"Looks lovely, Alfred… you have done a great job.".
"[Thank you, Sir…]". (Alfred)
"What about the bunker condition?... is it still working?".
"[Surprisingly…it still working perfectly, sir… via the satellite connection access, I was able to get inside the Bunker system…and it was still in a perfect condition… the Nuclear Cell Powered Generator were still intact and working smoothly… according to the Bunker system logs… the bunker had not been opened before the war and the natural disaster hit… no commanding officers, or soldiers has ever set foot in it…so, the entire bunker were still brand-new…]".
Once again, Alfred showed me pictures and security videos from inside the Bunker, and just like what he had said, it was brand new and working perfectly. Alfred even showed me the live feed videos of the inside of the bunker, the Military Automaton inside of it, is already under Alfred control and in the middle of sweeping the floor in the hallway.
"This one looked even better, Alfred".
"[Yes…the Supply Room were still packed with supplies, be it foods, plant Seeds, weapons, parts and tools…. Naturally, I have also locked the entire Bunker as well… the bunker can only be open by your fingerprints…]". (Alfred)
"Nice… this place will be our new home soon… and it will be the place where we will rebuild our own society…".
Siena Lake Village is certainly a spot that is good enough for us to lived our happy life undisturbed. The place is considerably far from any settlement, but not so far that it was out of reach from anyone, it already has structures that can be rebuild to start a functioning town and area from future residents to lived in. a perfect start to build a small community. The entire place was in the middle of a forest, that's means that hunting ground is plenty, the availability of fresh waters also solved the clean water dilemma as well. Perhaps there will be any sort of fish in that massive lake, who knows but I am sure are excited to find out. The distance of Sieana Lake Village to Jouston City is about 60 kilometers away, a bit far, in this ruined and wasteland world, but still a manageable distance, Alfred had marked a suitable road that we can take to get there, as I studied the road, it was a good enough road to be used, it would be bumpy as heck, but it can be used to get there.
"Woah~ … That is beautiful…". (Natasha)
"It is right?".
I bring Natasha into the Monitor room, showing her Siena Lake Village and Siena Lake Mansion as well, just as I were astounding with the pictures, Natasha too was loving it. I told her that, Siena Lake Village will be our new home in the future, and she were beaming with smile and delight that she ran to me and hugged me as hard as she can.
We now have a perfect place to go to, and a solid travel plans to go along with it. All we need to do now, is settle everything here in Jouston City and depart, it may take a week or a few months, but at this moment, waiting for a little bit did not bother me at all. Once we were there, we had to do a little bit of promotions as well, I am planning to open our stall at all the villages, towns and cities as we travel to Siena Lake Village. That way, a lot of people would surely know where to come to us, but when they come to us, within our settlement, all of them had to played by our rules, whether they wanted it or not, which is exactly what I wanted.
"[Sir, I believed… it is time for us to create a small company on Earth…]". (Alfred)
"Hmm?... so suddenly?... why?".
Alfred and I are currently in the gas station store floor, maintaining our truck, His sudden suggestion, slightly puzzled me.
"[Our shopping spree recently has started to be suspected as suspicious by multiple online shopping malls, and our big transactions of golds and silvers also slowly attracted attention as well…. So, I suggested we opened a small company… so that all those troublesome issues would go away… also by opening a small company… we can also easily order bulks products in massive quantity… Plus the fixed address with a location enough to have an entire shipping container to be sent to us directly… would surely made our stocking power increase massively… according to my predictions, if our current business and fame rose steadily, soon Azra Family Co. would need to expand its business scale… since, realistically speaking our potentially customer might be the entire wasteland…]". (Alfred)
"….You're right, Alfred….You know what, Let's open a company…".
