Surviving the Apocalypse with my Multiplier System novel Chapter 218

The next morning Rayne and Julian set off on their scavenging trip as usual.

Everyone who was awake at the time wished them luck and a safe trip!

The sun was only just now beginning to rise so the air still felt a little cool yet refreshing.

"I’ll drive first and we can swap after a few hours?", suggested Rayne.

Julian took the keys from her hands and smiled, "As if I’ll let you drive when you can barely keep your eyes open. You will get some rest, I’ll drive".

Rayne was about to protest, saying she was fine, but ended up letting out a large yawn that made her eyes water. Continue reading on freewebnovel

Julian gave her a look and proceeded to the driver’s side of the car while Rayne wobbled over to the passenger side.

"You said on the opposite side of the city? Towards to the coast?", he asked.

"Mhm, to the east of the city", Rayne mumbled. She pulled out a fluffy blanket and rolled over in her seat to take a nap.

Julian shook his head, "And you wanted to drive".

When Rayne finally woke up the sun was fully in the sky, beaming down with high intensity.

"How long was I out for?", she asked, stretching her arms.

"Umm, about three or four hours. We should be approaching the area of the government base here in a few minutes", said Julian.

"Oh wow, I was out for a lot longer than I thought I would be! How’s the drive been so far? Need to swap?", she asked feeling a little guilty.

Julian smiled, "No, I’m perfectly fine. The drive has been quiet and easy, no issues here".

A few hours later they reached the city they once called home. Instead of driving through the city, they took the highway that went around it to avoid roadblocks.

Rayne looked out of the window and into the city, "Do you think he’s in there somewhere?".

Julian’s expression turned serious, "I’m not positive, but something tells me that he is".

When Julian heard Mai’s last words, he had a gut feeling that what she said was true, Damien was hiding in the City this whole time.

In the underground base.

Tristan walked into Damien’s room, adjusting his glasses.

"We’ve still not heard from Dillon or anyone at the government base. I still don’t have data on the effects of the drug", he said, straight to the point.

Damien frowned, "Here I thought that new kid had potential. Did something happen?".

Tristan shook his head, I am unsure. I’ve sent a team out to check on what’s going on at the government base, but they will only be back later this evening.

"Send someone to summon Dillon here. I want to know why he hasn’t provided me with any updates yet. The weather has gotten much better, they should have found Julian by now", sighed Damien.

He was beginning to feel frustrated. Julian was the only reason he cooped himself up in this underground base.
