Surviving the Apocalypse with my Multiplier System novel Chapter 125

After Julian and Rayne left for the government base, Noah and Ian assumed control of the bunker and Alpha Team missions.

A few days ago, an Alpha Team scout from the city reported that there were people scouting around the fallen REN Corp. facility. These men were identified as most likely being Damien’s men, presenting Ian with an opportunity to gather information on the location of their base.

"Ivan, I need to select a small team and head out to the old facility. We’ve gotten word that Damien’s men have been poking around. Get as much information as you can, and try to follow them back," instructed Ian.

Ivan was one of the team leaders on Alpha Team and had the authority to hand-pick his own team.

"Understood. We will set off immediately," replied Ivan respectfully before turning to head to the Alpha Team dormitory rooms.

Word spread quickly among the other members, and everyone wanted to be chosen to go. Jess was one of these people. Ever since the dinner incident, she hadn’t been selected for any mission and was starting to feel very cooped up.

The people she was close to now distanced themselves from her, adding to the feeling of isolation.

So when she heard that Ivan was putting together a small team for a scouting/recon mission, she quickly got out of bed to find him.

Ivan had already spoken to the four people he wanted to take when Jess approached him.

"Hi, Leader Ivan. I was wondering if you could also take me along. I haven’t been on a mission in a while," she said, batting her eyelashes.

While he never showed it, Ivan had always had a soft spot for Jess. They trained together when they were first brought onto Alpha Team, and Jess was a very beautiful woman. He often used training as an excuse to spend some time around her, even though he had rarely spoken to her.

Seeing her pleading eyes, he sighed, giving in. "Fine, you can come along. Just make sure you’re a team player. I’ve gotten complaints recently..." he said.

Jess nearly jumped for joy. "Of course! I was just in a bad mood that day. I’ll apologize to the team later. Thank you!"

Ivan smiled slightly, then returned to his serious expression. "You have ten minutes to get ready. Don’t be late, or we’re leaving without you," he said as he walked away.

Jess quickly ran back to her bed and began packing her special bag while changing into the specialized gear.

After getting ready, she quickly met up with the rest of the team, making it just in time before they left.

Ivan led the team through the forest and to the secret garage where the jeeps were stored. "We’ll all squeeze into one jeep today," he said, getting into the driver’s seat.

After everyone got in, he quickly drove off to the fallen facility. Jess brazenly claimed the passenger seat while the four men had to squeeze into the back seat, making the rest of the team frown at her actions.

Ivan noticed her actions but let it slide this time and focused on driving.

She waited there, listening for any sounds of movement for almost an hour until she heard a few cars pull up. _{freewebnøvel.com}
