《Rise of the Phoenix - Apocalypse Rebirth》Chapter 17 - Transportation

Advertisement

By the time Aria walked away from the scene it was 4:30pm.

In order to start stealing medicines, she needed a car.

The technology for the car industry advanced positively due to the overall wealth of the country. Many types of cars were introduced to the market. Most of them luxury sports car. They were all flashy and shiny. Sara even owned one so flashy cars were common on the road.

Learning from her previous life, she decided to not buy a large off road vehicle. SUVs can hold 4-9 people. Everyone eventually ended up driving them during the ZA because it can seat more people and store more stuffs.

That's a great idea and benefits everyone but that also tells everyone that you have space for hitchhikers and storing materials.

So many times in the past people would force themselves into her cars and she was stuck sitting with people she hated.

So this time she decided to nip this by the bud. She's going to get a two seater extreme outdoor camping vehicle. Theory, the small company that carried this type of vehicle has been around for a long time originally building tanks, military vehicles, and weapons.

Due to the good times, their designs soon were dated and couldn't compete with the shiny new toys that were released. The war was over and no one wanted to be reminded of it. So even though they pushed hard on marketing their cars, rebranding to the EOS line, extreme outdoors surviving, the campaign failed.

No one wanted to camp. No one wanted to live hard outside. It's the golden age of health and technology, why should they experience the hard life? Even with the additional space technology that was added to the line was not appealing enough for the public. The price was of course also too expensive. The same price can get them a top of the line luxury sport car with the same space storage tech.

Aria remembered that the company soon shut down their vehicle division a few years before the ZA and was bought by the government to merge into the country's weapons department.

At this point, there were not many car shops left in Country selling these cars. Aria did a quick search and found a dealership in City GH.

Walking into the dealership she caught a sales person's attention.

Aria: "I want to purchase a few vehicles today. Can you help me with the specs?"

Salesperson: "Of course! We have three different types of cars for our line.

1. 9 seater Suv - Group travel

2. RV - Cross country family travel

3. 2 seater Sport - Quick and solo

We take the security and safety of our clients very seriously. Each are equipped with the space storage tech in a ring. You can bring the vehicle in and out at will.

The exterior body is made of tough solar-f technology. The car can recharge while driving and excess energy are reserved for any electrical use.

At the constant speed of 80 mph, the solar energy captured would equal to the energy being used. If you drive at a slower speed then you will have excess emergy. Excess energy are stored in the our trademarked energy packs.

You can choose how many packs you want the car to be hooked up to. It usually comes with one but the 2 seater can fit a maximum of 12 packs, SUV, 25, and the RV 50. The more packs you have, the better. There wouldn't be any need to stop for days! Even having two packs if driving all day and night only need 4 hours to recharge before you can head out again.

Each of our cars comes with a self driving option, smart collision avoidance, enhanced driving condition mode, etc. The tires are non punctured and can switch from the four wheel sports mode to the continuos track for off road conditions.

Since these were built for harsh extreme outdoor survival and camping. It doubles as a camper too. In camping mode, the car would extend it's body enough to sleep two adults. All windows and doors would automatically be seamless to prevent break-ins. The body of the car would automatically be covered by 3 layers of defensive material as a shield. The material of one layer was the same layer as the famous military tank we used to produce.

There is a built in water and air filtration system, isolating the outside air from seeping in. In case you are camping near a swamp, mosquitoes wouldn't be able to get inside the cabin. Or the swampy air.

Over ⅔ of the vehicle is actually the defensive shield-"

Aria: "That all sounds good. What do you have available right now and what's the price for the thee models?"

Salesperson: "You're in luck! We are closing our shop next week so the price is cut 25% off. Due to that, our inventory is quite low. We only have 2 of each left and they are all in black matted color. The shiny luxurious ones were sold out."

Aria: "That's okay. I'll buy your whole remaining inventory. My family suddenly wants to experience camping so I plan to buy a few different camping vehicles for them as gifts next weekend. I would like to also buy whatever parts you have available just in case things break."

Salesperson : "Our vehicles are very durable. These are 5 times sturdier than our best performing tanks during the war. How many energy packs would you like outfitted for the vehicles?"

Aria: "The maximum dor each please. Include every kind of upgrades you have available. Do you have a repair robot for sale too? When do you think everything can be done?"

Salesperson: "Do you mean you want everything we have available for sale, you want to purchase? We have 5 repair and set up robots. They have the memory and knowledge to fix anything wrong with your vehicles. If you're serious about purchasing everything we have then everything should be available in an hour."

Aria: "Yes, everything. I have money to spoil my family."

Salesperson: "Then let's come this way and sign the papers of sale. I'll have my colleague pack and itemize the parts and robots we will also sell to you within 15 minutes."

Aria: "Thank you."

The process was quick as the 5 remaining employees were motivated to pack and sell off their inventory. Some months they were only able to sell one vehicle after a lot of hard work. So selling 6 at one time and all the parts too will make their job and numbers look better. The salesperson that handled Aria's transaction was the happiest when thinking of his commission.

An hour later the digital documents were signed and paid for, six rings were handed over, the robots and extra materials all packed inside the RV. The total cost was $11M

Aria drove out of the dealership in the dark SUV. It looked very generic and not flashy at all so she decided to use that right now. She intended to use the sport 2 seater during the ZA so she can't have it appear in public before then.

Deciding to hit up the remaining dealership in City JS which was 30 minutes away, she called them and instructed them about buying out their inventory and upgrading all the vehicles. This dealership had more people and inventory so they promised to have everything ready by the time she arrived.

All the employees were too excited for this purchase since they had a total of 23 vehicles, 14 robots, and tons of parts that are sold. And since this sale was over the phone, the commission was shared by everyone.

Aria's SUV arrived in the lot and everyone was more excited to see their own model being driven. $25M later, Aria left with 23 rings in her hand.

Unfortunately, space rings cannot be placed in a space button. So she was forced to string the rings all together and place them in her inside zippered pocket. Luckily each ring has an icon and license number of each vehicle for easy identification or else she wouldn't know what's what.

The reason why she purchased out the inventory was because in the last life, the excess vehicles were purchased by a dealership in City S. That was where her family, the Lis, encountered the dealership.

At that time, Aria found a dark nondescript SUV which the rest of the family scoffed at. They picked the flashy expensive cars instead. Then when they found out how awesome Aria's car was with all the functions, they took it from Aria. The car got them out of many tough spots and was envied by all.

While driving to her final destination, she called up all the dealerships in City S and left her contact asking if they get any of the EOS vehicle, to contact her since she wants to purchase any they have available.
