Surviving the Apocalypse with my Multiplier System novel Chapter 191

At the entrance of the base, Dillon stood victoriously.

The few armed guards were quickly dealt with, leaving the gate wide open.

"Everyone, move in! If you’re met with any resistance, feel free to kill on sight!" he announced before motioning for them to flood into the base.

The large group of men stormed in, securing every area of the base.

Most of the residents didn’t even blink when they saw the armed men approach, making them question what was happening.

"Isn’t it strange that no one is running or screaming? They’re all just standing by the fires, watching like nothing’s even happening," one of the armed men said to the others.

Everyone nodded and continued securing the base.

A few minutes later, only a handful of shots were heard. Dillon smiled. "Good, it’s easier when people comply. You guys, watch the entrance and ensure that no one gets out. We’re here to capture Julian."

Dillon walked to the end of the base alongside Cal. Cal led the way to the building where the Barclays and Katrina were staying, taking the most direct path.

Along the way, Dillon frowned, looking at how disgusting the surroundings were. "Why would anyone want to live here?" he asked.

Having lived in Damien’s base since before the disasters, he had a skewed outlook on what life looked like outside.

They made their way over to the building where Katrina was waiting. Cal walked over and knocked on the door a few times.

"Katrina, it’s me. Are you there?" he called out. The curtains were drawn, and everything was quiet, making him wonder if they had gone somewhere.

Inside, Katrina heard Cal call out after knocking. She was about to stand up and open the door when Layla pulled her down.

"What are you doing? What if it’s someone dangerous?" she hissed.

Katrina looked at her and smiled. "But Layla, it’s my cousin Cal! I can’t just leave him outside! Plus, if it were dangerous, he would tell me to hide. We can trust him."

Layla was hesitant but let go of her arm. Katrina sprang up and quickly made her way to the door, unlocking it.

As soon as the door opened, she saw Cal, and behind him was Leader Dillon. She quickly bowed her head respectfully. "Leader Dillon, come on in."

Dillon walked in, looking at the huddled family on the floor. "Don’t worry, I’m not here to hurt you. I’m just looking for someone you’re familiar with."

Layla saw the handsome man in front of her. "Who are you looking for?" she asked in a sweet voice.

Dillon smiled. "You must be his sister. Truly, the genetics in your family are peak. I’m looking for your brother. Mind telling me where he is?"

Layla felt her face heat up from the indirect compliment. "Ah, y-yes. I’ll bring you to his apartment." She scurried off the ground and put on her coat.

"Please, follow me," she said and led him over to the adjacent building. "He’s on the third floor."

They walked over to the last door on the third floor, and Layla walked up. "Julian! Open up, there’s a visitor for you!"

After a few minutes of silence, Layla began to feel awkward. "Julian! It’s not the time to be sulking over that blonde woman! You have someone important visiting!" She continued to knock until Dillon stopped her.

He was slowly beginning to lose patience and pushed Layla to the side. The push wasn’t forceful, but enough for her to feel a little scared.

Cal, who was waiting below, quickly accepted the order and ran off to find someone who could pick the lock. He returned about ten minutes later with a lanky guy who had come with the rest of the ’army.’ _{freeweɓnovel.cøm}
