Surviving the Apocalypse with my Multiplier System novel Chapter 112

When the group arrived at the entrance of the apartment building, they heard the howling of animals nearby.

"Let’s hurry inside," said Percy as he scanned the street behind them.

Rayne led the group inside, walking up to the second floor and to the empty room they had looted earlier.

"Here’s an empty room we found earlier. It’ll work as a good place to spend the night. We’re going to stay with the local in room 309," said Julian. He didn’t want to be around Kia if he didn’t have to be.

Kia looked around the luxury apartment and nodded. "This is quite nice indeed. Even the stove looks like a gas stove. Maybe we’ll be lucky, and the gas lines are still functional."

As Kia, Percy, and Kenzo got settled, Rayne and Julian made their way up to the young man’s apartment.

"Oh hey, you’re back!" he said, opening the door to let them in. Rayne walked in and noticed multiple boxes and suitcases scattered all over the floor.

"Sorry about the mess, I’ve been busy packing ever since you guys left. Let me show you to your room," said Lenny as he hopped over a few suitcases to bring them to the guest bedroom.

As they entered the guest room, Rayne noticed that the bed was made with clean sheets and smiled approvingly at the sight.

"Let me know if there’s anything else you need. Oh, and I invite you to dinner today! It’s going to be just pasta with red sauce, but I hope you like it," said Lenny before running off to the kitchen.

Rayne turned to look at Julian. "It’s very kind of him to invite us for dinner. I can’t imagine very many people are willing to share their food supplies with others these days."

Julian closed the door and then walked over to lift Rayne off the floor.

"Julian! What are you doing?" she exclaimed, blushing.

He princess-carried her over to the bed, placing her down in the center. Then he climbed on and pulled her into his embrace to cuddle closely.

"I’m willing to share everything I have with you," he said in a deep and seductive voice.

Rayne’s heart raced at the implied meaning of his words. She rested her head on his chest while he played with her hair.

"Oh yeah? Everything?" she said flirtatiously. While a part of her was still a little shy from Julian’s open display of affection, she had grown accustomed to it over the past few weeks and wanted to respond in a cheeky manner.

Julian smiled at her flirty words. To him, she appeared like a little feisty kitten, absolutely adorable.

"Mhm, everything. Why, what do you have in mind?" he asked as he continued to play with her long strands of golden hair.

"You see, before we left the bunker, I happened to discover someone’s secret stash of chocolate," she said, making it sound like she uncovered a great secret.
