After dinner, everyone returned to their jobs to maximize their time and efficiency while they still had access to the resources within the bunker.
Noah focused on settling and preparing the logistics of moving to the government base, while Ian took care of security and matters related to Alpha Team.
Jonah was busy in the lab, while Rayne busied herself in the kitchen. Everyone worked late into the night, only going to bed well after midnight.
The next morning, Rayne woke up and found Jonah already in the lab, continuing his research from yesterday.
"Hey. Have you discovered anything?" she asked after greeting him.
"Well, there’s one thing I know for sure—it’s a drug. I’m still trying to figure out what it does exactly," he replied, yawning.
"Okay. I’ll bring you a coffee and some breakfast in a little bit. Thank you for your hard work," she smiled.
After breakfast, Rayne continued working in the kitchen until Julian approached her. "Some of our scouts that were positioned in the city have reported sightings of Damien’s men. We can’t be sure they’re headed here, but we need to be ready."
Rayne understood his underlying meaning. Today, she would need to go around and store as many things as she could into her system.
"Okay, let me finish up here and I’ll come find you in a few minutes," she said, and turned to finish cooking.
About twenty minutes later, she walked into Julian’s room and saw him laying out various weapons and parts on the table and floor.
"Hey! So these are the most important items that I have. They are all the latest weapons that my company developed," said Julian, motioning to all of the items laying on the table.
Rayne looked at all the high-tech-looking weapons with interest. Most of the weapons were guns, while some were cold weapons like knives and daggers.
She couldn’t tell what was different about them from a simple glance, but she believed that whatever REN Corporation developed was extraordinary.
She quickly stored everything, leaving behind only empty spaces. "Is there anything else you want me to store? Personal items? Clothes?" she asked Julian, looking around.
Julian brought over a large plastic bin. "If you store this, will it store the items inside?"
"Yes!" Rayne smiled. It was a handy feature that allowed her to get her hands on the red substance.
She placed her hand on the bin and gave the mental command to store it. Within a blink of an eye, the bin vanished from sight.
