Surviving the Apocalypse with my Multiplier System novel Chapter 234

When Ella woke up hours later she noticed that she was tied up inside the RV with the others.

"Hey wake up!", she yelled while wiggling her body.

Liam and the others slowly woke up, sitting up abruptly to see where they were.

The inside of the RV was torn up and only the live chickens were left.

Liam looked over at her, "Are you okay? Where is Rayne?!"

Ella's eyes welled up with tears as she shook her head. "We need to get back to base as soon as possible. I need to tell Julian!"

The two members of Alpha Team managed to cut the rope that bound them all together, freeing them.

Without further delay, one of the Alpha Team members got out of the RV.

"I'll hide in the forest. Hurry back and bring backup!"

The other Alpha Team member nodded and got into the driver's seat, speeding off towards the forest base.

When they finally arrived a few hours later, Julian and Noah were patiently waiting outside. Neither of them said anything but they couldn't stop themselves from fidgeting with the small items in their hands.

Noah let out a sigh, "I don't know if I could bring myself to let her leave for this long again. I feel like I'm losing my mind"

Julian smiled but in his mind, he was thinking the same thing. "Look at what's gotten into us. Even Ian can't recognize us anymore"

They continued to sit outside for a while longer before the RV came speeding in, almost crashing into the other parked cars.

"Whoa! Are they drunk or something?", Noah stood up abruptly, walking over to the RV.

Julian frowned, his gut told him that something was wrong.

As soon as the RV was parked, Ella ran out crying. She ran past Noah and landed on the ground in front of Julian.

"They took her! I'm so sorry! We were all knocked out", she sobbed.

Julian's face turned cold.

"Who took her? Where?"

He looked up to see Liam and one of the members of Alpha Team running over.

"Boss, we need reinforcements. We were attacked. My partner is on standby at the location now", he said, catching his breath.

Noah helped Ella off the ground, trying to comfort her as she continued to sob.

Julian felt his entire body turn cold.

"Hurry and gather everyone who's free. You have 5 minutes to get armed and ready"

He turned to run back inside of his house to arm himself with the weapons that Rayne left for him and ran back to the parking area, hopping into the closest Jeep.

I'm coming, Rayne. Please be okay!

Adrenaline coursed through his veins as the old cold and ruthless side of him surfaced.

Exactly five minutes later the remaining members of Alpha Team (outside of logistics) piled into the remaining Jeeps and drove off to where the caravan was attacked.

Noah stayed behind to maintain order inside the settlement, comforting Ella in the process.
