Surviving the Apocalypse with my Multiplier System novel Chapter 161

After chatting for most of the evening, Rayne and Julian retired to their bedroom to go to bed.

In the living room, Ella and her family set up the fold-out bed, as they had done previously, and went to sleep.

The members of Alpha Team finished the registration process very late into the night and ended up sleeping in their vehicles.

Noah, Ian, and Jonah were the last ones to register. It was well into the early hours when they finally parked the very eye-catching RV in a remote spot of the main parking lot.

Thankfully, the majority of the people were still sleeping, so although they still received a lot of attention, it wasn’t as much as it could have been.

The next morning, Rayne and Julian woke up early to see if the housing office was finally open.

Reginald woke up after hearing Rayne and Julian get out of bed and asked if he could go with them to the housing office after they told him their plans.

Unfortunately, when they got there, there was a sign on the door stating the office was closed but would be open tomorrow.

"Hmm, I’m not sure what to do with everyone who came from the bunker," said Julian, frowning. He had hoped the housing office would be open so they could rent a few more rooms.

Rayne thought about it for a minute, then an idea came to mind. "Hey! I have a place for them!" she chimed.

Julian looked at her, wanting to hear her suggestion.

"Next door! I’m sure the ’neighbors’ wouldn’t mind," she giggled.

Julian smiled and leaned in to kiss her. "God, you’re so smart! Of course!" he said. Ever since that night when they ’kindly’ removed their neighbors, the unit next door had been left empty.

Rayne and Julian split off from Reginald, as he wanted to check in on his place, and headed to the neighboring unit.

Picking the lock was relatively easy due to the very standard doors and locks that were used during construction, and after a few minutes, the door swung open.

The unit was mostly empty except for a few ripped-up blankets scattered all over the floor. Rayne looked around and quickly got to work, cleaning and disinfecting every surface of the unit.

Julian took on the task of cleaning and sanitizing the bathroom, which had been used and abused since the time Rayne had gifted them the soup.

Rayne was very grateful that Julian volunteered to take on that task, as she wanted to gag just looking at the toilet and the surrounding area.

It took them over an hour to get everything clean, but after they finished, the apartment sparkled with a faint scent of lavender.

"Now I can fill the space with furniture. Unfortunately, this unit doesn’t have electricity, so I’ll have to set up a few pellet stoves," said Rayne, quickly getting to work.

The bonus of this unit was that it was a two-bedroom, unlike their own unit. This would help them out because they had a large group of people to settle in.

Starting with the two bedrooms, Rayne planned to place two sets of bunk beds in the larger bedroom, making space for four people. The smaller bedroom would have two single beds, similar to the ones that Rayne and Julian had when they first moved in.
