Surviving the Apocalypse with my Multiplier System novel Chapter 211

He ran over to the scientist’s assistant. "What do we do if these people attack us in a horde? Is there a way to control them?"

The scientist’s assistant looked up at him, frightened. "Control them? The only way we’ve controlled them back at the base was by killing them!"

Cal’s face lost all its color. How many people was this drug given to? How many of their people were stationed here at this base?

"We’re outnumbered, but at least we have guns," he mumbled out loud. "I need to see Leader Mai."

Just as he walked over to the door, he paused. He began to feel the fear sinking in, unsure if he would get attacked as soon as he opened it.

Looking over at the scientist’s assistant, he barked an order. "Come, we’re getting out of here!"

The base was technically not his responsibility, and he had no desire to stay any longer. The scientist’s assistant would also vouch for him that the people on the drug were going crazy.

Using the cover of the night, they quietly left their room and skirted around the edges of the base to their car. As soon as the car started, Cal whipped out of the parking lot and sped out of the base.

Deondre noticed the car as it approached the exit but hesitated to shoot since he didn’t know if it was an innocent person running away in fear or not.

After thinking it through for a while, he decided to shoot out one of the tires on the car.

Cal had already made it a decent distance down the highway when he felt the car spin out of control.

One of his tires popped, causing the car to ram into a guardrail.

"Fuck!" he yelled, thinking he must have driven over a spike or something since the sniper bullet was completely silent.

After making sure the scientist’s assistant was still okay, he got out of the car.

"Come on, let’s go! We need to get out of here before the cannibals come out!" yelled Cal. He sprinted forward on the highway, not caring that they would need to make this journey on foot.

Through the scope of his sniper rifle, Deondre saw the two men abandon their car and run down the highway. From their hurried body language, he could tell that they were really frightened.

"I don’t think Damien’s men are this spineless. They must be residents who got frightened," he mumbled and turned his attention back to the base.

Inside, Leader Mai was in her room, giving out commands to various team leaders.

"You’re telling me you don’t know who they are or where they’re shooting from?!" she yelled angrily.

"Yes, ma’am, it’s dark out, so—" replied one of the guard team members.

"DARK OUT? You said they were shot! Do you not have ears to hear what direction they shot from?!" she stomped angrily.

Everyone in the room clammed up, scared to tell her that there were no gunshot sounds at all. It was eerily quiet, like a silent plague spreading through the base. _{ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom}

Just then, the door swung open. "Ma’am! Everyone at the entrance has been wiped out. Our men on both the eastern and western sides have also been taken out!"
