Surviving the Apocalypse with my Multiplier System novel Chapter 217

At the forest base, Rayne and the others have been making good progress.

Lenny and the rest have finally settled in and gotten used to their new routines, helping out wherever they can.

Rayne walked over to the field that had been completely tilled and sown.

"Julian, look! The greens have already begun to shoot out of the ground!", she said happily, pointing and the tiny little green stems that were poking out of the ground.

"Yes, it seems like we will finally be able to eat some fresh produce here soon", he said smiling at her.

The weather was quickly getting warmer and warmer. Everyone was now wearing shorts and t-shirts, trying to stay cool, especially during the day.

The plants, however, loved this new level of sun and warmth. Thanks to the nearby lake, watering the fields was an easy task, and the growing seedlings were coming out very strong.

Everyone who was assigned to work on the farmland had a big smile on their face. They were able to see the fruits of their hard work so quickly, granting them both relief and satisfaction.

"I hope that we can enjoy many more days like this", said Rayne, looking around happily.

Along with Lenny’s group, a young boy who was about 5 years old was also brought over. Nurse Judy was taking care of him initially, but when Laura laid eyes on him she fell in love.

Every day she would spend hours with the young boy, playing and teaching him numbers. Everyone on the base already considered the boy to be part of her and Davids family.

The young boy was very shy and scared at first, but after spending a few days with Laura he finally began to show the occasional smile. _{freёweɓnovel.com}

The biggest change for the newcomers was the availability of resources and food. Even people like Lenny who had arrived at the government base very prepared, suffered from extreme weight loss and muscle loss.

They had eaten through their meager supply and were left to chew on stale bread and other preserved foods.

Now, they all had access to many varieties of food, even frozen meat, and vegetables, allowing them to feel healthier even after just a few days.

Julian continued his walk with Rayne, occasionally stopping to greet others. They made their way around the entire settlement when Rayne remembered Noah’s request.

"Oh guess what?", she said with a smile.

Julian looked at her gossipy expression and lifted an eyebrow, "What?"

"Noah finally put in a request with me", she said, trying to build suspense.

"Was it a new clipboard? He never goes anywhere without his", laughed Julian, taking a quick guess.

Rayne laughed but shook her head, leaning in she whispered, "He asked for a small trinket to gift Ella. Something like a necklace or bracelet!"

"Oh? Looks like he’s finally getting somewhere. I thought him working daily with Reginald would give him ample opportunities to court Ella openly, but I guess not", he shrugged.

Rayne giggled, "Maybe they like it...hidden"

Julian placed his arm around her waist, "Oh yeah? Maybe we should go hide somewhere, what do you think?"

"Yeah we should so I can beat you up!", laughed Rayne, throwing a pretend punch at his arm.
