Surviving the Apocalypse with my Multiplier System novel Chapter 158

While the road around the mountains was much longer, it was also a lot less dangerous. Aside from the snow, which was now starting to become a small problem, they didn’t run into any cannibal cults or bandits.

Rayne spent most of her time in the driver’s cabin with Julian, while Jonah was engrossed in reading.

They mainly all met together during mealtimes, where Jonah would slowly tell them about his experience during the initial earthquakes.

Rayne felt that Jonah was a decent guy and was more comfortable around him than she had been before, making the journey overall more pleasant.

It took them four whole days to make it back to the valley where the bunker was located.

Julian parked the RV on the side of the highway that was adjacent to the forest where the bunker was located.

Noah and Ian scouted the surrounding area regularly, ensuring that Damien’s men weren’t lying in ambush, and updated Julian on the situation.

Before they got off, Julian sat down with Jonah to begin the oath-taking process. If Jonah was going to stick around with them and even visit the bunker, Julian needed to make sure he was officially part of their team.

Jonah was a little nervous but happily accepted and took the oath, swearing loyalty and secrecy. These last few days he had spent with the couple had been refreshing, to say the least.

All of his needs were met, and he even got to watch TV shows! He could tell that there were many benefits to joining up with them. Rayne and Julian were also very kind people; they went out of their way to save him from the gang and settle him into a new home.

He had no regrets about joining their team and swore to work hard for them in the future.

"So from here, we’re going to need to go on foot," said Julian, peering out of the window.

Rayne walked over. "We do have two snowmobiles. Are you comfortable driving one of them?"

Jonah nodded. "Yes, I’ve gone snowmobiling in the past. I should be able to handle it."

"Okay, great. Then you will ride one, and I’ll ride with Julian. Just follow us and try not to hit any trees on the way," said Rayne.

They bundled up as best as they could and met Rayne outside, who had already taken the snowmobiles out of a storage compartment on the RV.

If Jonah looked closely, he would realize that the storage compartment wasn’t large enough to fit two snowmobiles, but thankfully he was too focused on the snowmobiles themselves to think it through.

The snow was already knee-deep, so walking through the forest would have been very difficult.

After Rayne climbed to sit behind Julian, placing her arms around his waist, the three of them drove off into the forest.

The snowmobiles were the most recent models and were very easy to use. They quickly made their way through the dense forest, weaving through the large evergreen trees.

A while later, they finally approached the area where the bunker was located. But just as they got close, a big group of hooded figures jumped down from the trees.
