章節 26: The Magic of the One Star Jeep
"Henry, you haven't forgotten about the monster tide have you? We have already spent about 30 minutes here. If we don't go back to the facility soon, we might actually get caught up by the monster tide if we continue delaying around." Adam reminded after a period of satisfaction for his curiosity.
Upon receiving a reminder from Adam, Henry finally came out of his myriads of thoughts. He decided to set everything aside for now, and only think about them after the monster tide had been dealt with.
With that thought in mind, Henry was just about to start the vehicle when he suddenly remembered that his summoned creature was actually still outside of the car. He couldn't help but wonder if it could catch up with the speed of the Jeep.
[The host should know that there is a special compartment that has been added to the car. This was a special consideration from the system. Since you have a summoned creature, the system decided to upgrade the vehicle to suit your needs at one star ranking. The compartment was made in such a way that it can accommodate a living creature.]
Immediately after that, Henry was reminded about another function that was placed in the vehicle. So, he immediately pressed on a button that was yellow in color.
The moment that he pressed it, low mechanical sounds were heard coming behind the Jeep. All the people present inside the vehicle turned their heads and looked behind in surprise.
With a simple activation, an extraordinary mechanical feature came to life. A carefully engineered hydraulic system, concealed cleverly within the Jeep's structure, sprung into action, initiating the creation of an additional storage compartment.
The rear of the Jeep effortlessly extended backward, revealing a hidden compartment cleverly integrated into its design. The compartment emerged, expanding the cargo space of the Jeep significantly, ensuring ample room to transport additional supplies, gear, or any items.
Crafted with precision, the mechanical mechanism operated smoothly and noiselessly, showcasing the attention to detail and expert engineering that had gone into its creation.
The entire process was controlled effortlessly by a button conveniently located within the Jeep's interior, allowing for instantaneous access to the extra compartment without any hassle.
The newly created space behind the Jeep was intelligently designed to maximize storage potential and accessibility. It was lined with durable and high-quality materials, ensuring that the compartment was not only functional but also protected the items stored within from the elements and any potential rugged conditions encountered during adventures.
When Henry saw that, he couldn't help but press the button again. And the moment that he did that, another change occurred.
The compartment effortlessly retracted back into its original position, seamlessly integrating with the Jeep's exterior, it discreetly concealed its valuable functionality until the next time it was going to be needed.
This remarkable mechanical ability of the upgraded Jeep signified the commitment to optimizing convenience and adaptability.
It was also at this moment that Henry finally realized why the single star skills that he possessed were considered the epitome of the human level.
The vehicle that they were currently in was actually high tech. If it was taken out before the apocalypse descended, then, this was going to be a very big source of money.
This level of technology would surely have attracted the attention of all types of technological experts present in the world.
But still, there was something that Henry found quite hard to understand. That was the fact that, even though the skills and the Jeep that he currently possessed was said to be at the very top of the capabilities of a human, he had never seen any one of them.
Could this actually be the full potential of humans or, could it be that there was someone else who had already produced such technology or possessed the skills?
When he remembered that there was still a monster tide to deal with, Henry decided to temporarily forget about everything. Instead, he pressed the button once again to activate the compartment.
After it opened, Henry utilized the telepathic link that connected him and the storm wolf to instruct it to enter into the compartment.
The wolf didn't delay and got inside. And surprisingly, the space that had been created in the compartment was just big enough to accommodate the 3m tall wolf, as long as it laid down.
Additionally, there was even an extra amount of space that was left. That amount of space was just enough for them to store several things. That implied that even the guns they had hidden away could be placed there.
With a smile, Henry pressed another button. The moment that he did that, several spaces suddenly opened up on the doors of the car.
"You can place your weapons there. There's no need for you to carry them when you need to relax a little." Henry stated as he placed his weapon, The Raging Fire Flood sword there.
Even though the two were surprised, they still followed Henry's instruction. They had been holding their equipment for a long time now. Finally, they could take some time to relax their hands.
With that finally out of the way, Henry now focused on the matter of driving. Henry immediately started the engine. And, since they were going to use the tarmac road, the car automatically engaged the sports car mode. This was the mode that enabled the car to move at its maximum speed.
The moment that this mode was activated, those that were present inside the car immediately felt that the height of the car had suddenly reduced.
Henry had of course been expecting that after he received the information about the vehicle. So, he was of course not surprised when he saw through the holographic screen that was in front of him that the chassis of the car had been lowered.
The good thing about the car was:, it wasn't manual, but an automatic one. For that reason, Henry didn't have to bother with the matter of engaging gears or disengaging them.
He stepped on the throttle and the car immediately shot forward. Even though Henry was prepared for the speed that the car possessed, he was actually stunned for a moment.
But the next moment, he was full of excitement. And instead of utilizing the usual side mirrors and so on, he focused on the holographic screen that was in front of him.
Since he wasn't sure at what moment they could be attacked even before the monster tide appeared, Henry decided to continue watching the surroundings, ready to react in case there was danger.
Both Adam and Sarah nearly vomited their hearts out. They had never expected that the speed of the car was so frightening.
Adam, as a berserker, he was someone who intended to live a life freely. So, after a moment of shock, he engaged into the illusion of flying, as he watched as the trees shot backwards at a fast speed.
As for Sarah, this was the first time that she was experiencing something like this. But after experiencing the ups and downs of the apocalypse during the past few hours, she was able to calm down.
And unlike Adam who was only happy about being inside a vehicle that moved at a high speed, she looked at Henry, who was driving the car steadily, as if he had done so several times already.
Even though she could not understand anything, she only linked all of this to the profession that enabled him to modify the Jeep. And with that, her resolve to follow him increased. She believed that he was definitely the best shot for her to go back home.
Being inside the speedy jeep moving through the empty forest was an exhilarating experience that ignited a sense of liberation and pure adrenaline. As the car effortlessly rocketed down the road, a rush of excitement surged through Henry's veins, heightening his senses and transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary.
Inside the car, the sound of the faint engine roars with power, created a symphony of mechanical might that echoed through the forest. The thrilling rumble resonated within him, stirring a primal energy that fuels his anticipation and eagerness for the road ahead.
Every twist and turn of the road became a heart-pounding adventure, in danger. The acceleration pushed him back in his seat, while the G-forces tugged at his body, reminding him of the sheer speed at which he was hurtling through the 'serene' forest.
With each passing moment, he could feel an unparalleled connection with the car, as if it became an extension of his own self, merging with his very essence.
Through the car's windows, the scenery unfolded in his eyes. The majestic trees stood tall, their branches swaying in synchronization with the wind. The tranquility of the forest juxtaposed against the velocity of the car creating a profound sense of harmony between the raw power of the machine and the serene wilderness that surrounding it.
As the car embraced every curve and straight, a surge of anticipation and freedom surged within him. There was a sense of liberation and escape from the constraints of the apocalypse that had just descended.
With every passing second, he become absorbed in the thrill of the journey. Time seemed to stand still as the outside world faded away, leaving only him, the car, and the forest in perfect symbiosis. The forest became a canvas on which he painted his exhilaration, leaving behind an indelible mark in his memories.
All of this, reminded him about his youth. Even though he was still considered a youth, the majority of his youth had actually been spent in the facility. So, he had never gotten a chance to enjoy himself.
For that reason, as he was driving, he got to experience the exhilarating feeling that came with being unrestrained. This strengthened his resolve to grow stronger, to make sure that nobody else was going to control his destiny again.
With the speed at which the Jeep was traveling, the journey that had initially taken them an hour, actually took them just less than ten minutes. This was just enough to tell Henry that the abilities of the system were unprecedented.
When they arrived at the facility, the car once again automatically switched from the sports car mode, to the off-road mode. The moment it happened, they suddenly felt that the height of the car had increased.
And from the holographic screen, Henry Could see that the wheels of the car were actually increasing in size. Furthermore, the treads of the wheels became broader.
