Surviving the Apocalypse with my Multiplier System novel Chapter 45

The following day, Rayne woke up to find the world in chaos.

[CEO of REN Corp. Proclaimed Dead!]

[REN Corp.’s CEO Shot at Auction Event!]

[Executive Secretary Noah Mathews Named New CEO of REN Corp.]

Rayne read the many news articles in complete shock. How did something like this happen? Although she had never had a chance to meet the CEO, he had helped her out a lot financially.

She closed her eyes, saying a short silent prayer for him, thanking him for inadvertently helping her in times of need.

The other interesting fact was that Secretary Mathews was named the next CEO. Typically, it would be a family member who would be next in line, but it seemed that Secretary Mathews was the one explicitly named in the will.

Rayne continued to scroll through, reading all of the news articles about the tragedy and future funeral plans.

"Seems like REN Corp.’s CEO was an important person. His passing has received so much publicity," mumbled Rayne.

She finally got out of bed and got dressed. Her plans for the remaining time before the start of the apocalypse were to cook as many dishes as possible and search for secluded natural environments to move to once things got bad.

The last few weeks, Rayne had spent a good amount of time looking at topography maps, searching for areas with good natural resources. In her nightmares, people turned on each other once they began to run out of resources, resorting to stealing and even killing.

Places such as densely populated cities would most likely be the least safe, so she wanted to at least have a general idea of where to run to. One of the places that caught her attention was a relatively remote resort area that had been recently built. It was located near a nature preserve and was surrounded by mountains. The nature preserve was a good area as well due to a naturally formed valley with a river running through it.

Rayne thought about Ella as she began cooking. "I still haven’t found a way to tell her about the apocalypse. But I don’t want her to suffer," she thought.

She had been thinking about how to tell her friend for a while now but was worried she would sound crazy since there was no logical proof.

Just as she finished dicing the chicken, she got an idea! "What if I pretend to have bought too many random camping supplies and just dump them at her house?"

She thought that if she forcefully brought random supplies like solar panel generators, canned food, propane stoves, and other supplies, that would at least ensure that Ella would have a slight head start.

The worst Ella would do is think that Rayne was crazy for having spent so much money on random camping gear! It wasn’t the perfect solution, but it helped ease Rayne’s worries.

She continued to cook, making delicious hot meals until evening, filling her system with more fresh, nutritious, home-cooked food.

Looking at the time, she estimated that Ella would be home soon, so she prepared to go visit her at her house.

Rayne wanted to give her much more, but her SUV couldn’t fit anything else. The last thing she took out was a few fresh king crabs that she got at the fish market to use as a gift. _{freeweɓnovel.cѳm}
