Surviving the Apocalypse with my Multiplier System novel Chapter 210

The next morning, Rayne, Julian, Ian, and the members of Alpha Team who were participating in the mission gathered in front of the houses.

It was still early enough in the morning that it was dark out, but the sun would begin to rise any minute.

"Okay, the plan is to make it to the outskirts of the government base and wait until nightfall. It will be a lot easier to execute our operation in the dark," announced Ian, bringing everyone onto the same page.

After a few more detailed instructions, everyone loaded their weapons into the Jeeps and drove out to the government base.

Rayne and Julian drove behind everyone in Rayne’s SUV. They had plenty of time before nightfall, so no one felt rushed or in a hurry.

"So, where are we going to hide until nightfall?" asked Rayne. She hadn’t attended most of the meetings, so she was a little out of the loop.

"There’s a forest across from the entrance. We will drive into it a good distance before reaching the base to cover our tracks and stay there until nightfall," he replied.

A few hours later, the group finally arrived at the forest that led to the base. They drove their vehicles as far in as they could before proceeding on foot.

Since they were already relatively close, they only needed to walk for a little while before the checkpoint entrance came into view.

Ian, along with a few members of Alpha Team, took out their binoculars to scout where the armed guards were positioned.

Rayne was also curious, so she pretended to take out a pair from her backpack and took a look around.

To her surprise, everything seemed normal on the surface. The process of people entering looked the same as usual, along with everything else.

She had been expecting something closer to bandits—looters and pillagers who had forcefully taken over and were extorting the residents.

While that might have been true inside the base, from what she could tell, everything simply looked... normal.

"You see anything interesting?" asked Julian from behind her.

"No, not at all. Here, take a look," she said, handing over her binoculars.

Julian took a look and noticed the same sense of normalcy. However, beyond that, he carefully scouted as much of the entrance area as he could, taking note of every guard’s position.

"Seems like they’re trying to keep the base active and trap more flies for their experiments," he said, handing the binoculars back.

Rayne frowned. She wanted to run over to the line of hopeful people and warn them that it was a trap, that they should run away.

She also prayed that there were still sane people inside who hadn’t fallen for the false temptation of this new addictive drug.

They all waited patiently in the forest for the entire day. Rayne provided everyone with a basic meal at lunchtime while the Alpha Team scouts continued to monitor Damien’s men across the street.
