Chapter 74 - A Female At Door.

While everyone was enjoying the dinner and the atmosphere in the living room was also a bit cheerful. Suddenly there was a knock on the main door of the MCV. In the beginning, no one noticed it, but when the intensity and noise of the knock increased for the second time everyone was able to clearly hear it.

In a moment of seconds, the living room was pin-drop silent, everyone was on full alert. John slowly placed his dinner aside and went to take his shotgun, they knew well how deep inside the forest they were that even on normal days it is difficult to find anyone here. But now in the apocalypse, there was someone knocking at their door that too at this time. When John was about to go to the bunker to check on the situation Arther hurriedly came out of his room with a delighted expression. He gestured everyone to be quiet and took away their weapons under their confused eyes and hid them in the storage of his room and lock them well. He even used the system fluid metal technique to seal the storage.

After confirming everything he slowly went to the door and opened acted to open a small slit to watch the outside. As soon as he opened the door before he could react a black muzzle was inserted straight inside the door and with a twist the door was completely opened. These actions were well-coordinated and fluid showing how well trained the person performing them was..

As soon as the door was opened the light from inside illuminated a small part of the area in front. Seeing the person outside Arther was completely shocked. The person standing in front of him was a female, in standard camouflage uniform of their country with a complete set of equipment along with night vision goggles, a voice transmitter, and many more things. What made Arther shocked was though not this equipment but her torn clothes near the stomach and right thighs exposing the snow-white soft skin inside and few crudely bandaged wounds. Even though her posture was filled with arrogance and she was aiming her gun at Arther her face was pale, dry lips, eyes with dark circles under them, and her arms were a bit shaking after maintaining the posture for some time.

Seeing this Arther understood that his plans needs to be changed completely after hearing this female out. After confirming that there were no other teammates of her in the vicinity Arther directly took action. Taking a step forward he hurriedly held her gun and aimed it above the moment she pulled the trigger and then without giving her any time to react he pulled the gun out of her grip threw it away and without any mercy punched her into the stomach direct on the wounds.

Considering her conditions he didn't use much strength but still, this one punch was enough to defeat the female who was already physically weak and was fighting with sheer will. And the intense pain from the wounds broke that will easily making her lose consciousness. Seeing her falling to the ground Arther hurriedly called John out and both of them carried her into the medical room.

After gesturing for John to leave he closed the room door under the awkward eyes of John and his family. He didn't have much time to waste. First of all, he was very impressed by her equipment so he took everything he can. The radio transmitter with an earphone and mic, the night vision goggles, an M9 pistol with one extra magazine, an M18 pistol with one loaded and one extra magazine, a SIG MPX loaded with 30 rounds magazine, and an HK416 loaded with a 20 round magazine.

Seeing all this equipment Arther was already drooling but when he thought of her backpack which fell outside he was even more excited, after cross-checking her body once again to his surprise he found something on her leg. Though he knew about it he was caught in a dilemma whether to do it himself, after some time of conflict in his mind he still gave up and opened the door to call Mey and Abella in, when both of them came inside, his mother eyes were already a bit odd toward him but he ignored her directly. When both of them saw that the female's clothes were fine they heaved a sigh of relief. Seeing their reactions Arther was feeling his anger boiling up but he tried his best to suppress it.

"Aunt can you take out the knife she has hidden here, I will wait outside.", after printing out the location Arther directly went out to his room and after searching for some time he found a pair of ropes in the storage. Along with that he also took out the weapons he hid before. Before he hid them to gain sympathy from the military team and try entering the warehouse but now looking at this girl's conditions he felt a sudden sense of crisis, the military team might have faced something unprecedented which even their well-equipped weapons can't face. So to avoid panic he handed everyone their weapons which can provide them with a sense of security.

After distributing the weapons he went to the medical room, when he entered the room Mey had used a knife to cut the pant of her right leg to reveal her entire leg. Below her knee was tied a standard military bayonet after opening the straps and Mey handed over the knife to Arther, after taking it he put the knife along with other equipment and then took the rope and tightly tied her down with the medical table and them asked them to properly bandage her wounds. While he collected all the equipment and took them in his room placing them on the bed he hurriedly went to pick up the backpack outside and then after once more observing the surrounding he closed the door.

Inside Arther's room, the light was on while various military equipment was spread out on the bed. Arhter sat in the middle of this equipment with a wide grin on his face. This girl was surely an express delivery to the door. What made him even more excited was that if just this girl has so many things then the warehouse can be considered as a treasure chest lying for him to loot.

From the backpack, he received a military-grade binocular with a 7x range and measurement scale, a 100 round magazine of HK416, two more magazines for M18 pistol, 30 packets of MRE food with one half-eaten, a 2L water bottle with a built-in purifier and filter. After checking all this things Arther knew was looking forward to the warehouse.
