Surviving the Apocalypse with my Multiplier System novel Chapter 73

"Mommy, I’m going to look for food! The corner store had snacks earlier today," Lily shouted as she ran out the door.

Her mother was still lying on the couch, waiting for her injury to heal, but she was already in a much better state than before.

She only had time to yell, "Be careful and come back soon!" before her daughter ran out the door.

When Lily finally reached the staircase after running down the hallway, she couldn’t believe her eyes! The staircase was filled with so many new supplies!

She noticed the basket with fresh red apples on top of the many cases of water and quickly reached over to grab it.

She used to not care much for apples, but now she looked at them with a sparkle in her eyes.

Grabbing the whole basket, she ran back home, startling her mom.

"What is it, Lily? Did something happen? You’re back so quickly?" her mom asked with worry. She looked over Lily a few times, making sure she was uninjured.

Lily moved the basket from behind her, showing off the fresh red apples. "Look, Mommy! I found these in the stairwell!" she said proudly, showing off her rare finds.

Her mom stared at the apples in the basket in disbelief. "Lily, where did you say you found these again?"

"In the stairwell! Just down the hall! Oh, there are so many more items there; it’s almost blocking the way downstairs," replied Lily, grinning.

"There’s more? Lily, quickly call your brother and grandpa over to take a look with you!" she said. She wanted to go look for herself but knew that if she moved now, it would only agitate the wound, causing even more problems.

Although her father was old and had difficulty walking, going down the hall shouldn’t be a problem for him.

Lily quickly ran to her grandfather’s room, where her little brother was playing.

"Grandpa! Mommy wants you to come look at the supplies I found in the stairwell!" she announced as she walked into the room.

Walter looked at Lily with surprise. "Oh, you found some supplies in our stairwell?" He was surprised to hear this but slowly lifted himself off of his chair and followed Lily out.

Lily’s brother was also curious about what it was that Lily had found and dropped his toy, following them into the hallway.

When Walter finally arrived at the stairwell and saw the huge amount of supplies, his mind immediately went to Rayne.

"It must have been that kind lady who left us these supplies," he said, patting Lily on the head.

She smiled and nodded. "Yes! She gave me a big chocolate bar. She’s the nicest!"

Walter made his way over to inspect what was there with his trembling hands. He was so happy that tears formed in his eyes.

Lily carried in a puffy new blanket; it was so big that even when she held it over her head, it drooped down to the floor. _{ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom}
