Surviving the Apocalypse with my Multiplier System novel Chapter 88

They walked toward the sign, entering through the door just below it.

Inside, it was fairly empty, with only a few people wearing sad or angry expressions.

"What do you mean?! How can you charge so much for a single room? How are we supposed to survive?!" yelled a woman. She was hysterical, crying and yelling.

"Ma’am, I’m sorry, but these are the rules of the base. Once the contribution points system becomes available, you will be able to rent a room with contribution points. Please wait patiently; it should be implemented very soon," explained the woman on the other side of the desk.

The hysterical woman continued to make a scene, crying and screaming until a fully armored guard showed up holding a gun.

"Ma’am, I’m only going to ask you once—please leave. Don’t make me forcefully remove you," he said in a stern voice.

The woman quickly quieted down, intimidated by the weapon in his hand. "Okay, I’ll leave. No need to use force," she quickly muttered, running out of the housing office.

The guard nodded at the office administrator and walked out to ensure the hysterical woman didn’t cause any more trouble. The room finally quieted down, replacing the chaotic atmosphere with a calm one.

Reginald walked over to the woman at the desk and greeted her politely. "Hello, I am here to inquire about either purchasing or renting a place to live with my family," he said.

The woman nodded. "Hello. You’ve come to the right place. I will be honest with you, it is fairly pricey, but we do have a good amount of available rooms left. How many bedrooms are you looking for?"

Reginald looked over at his dainty wife. "I would like three bedrooms, two at the minimum," he stated.

The woman shook her head at his request. "Very well, we do have both 2- and 3-bedroom options available. Would you like to take a look at them?"

"Yes, please. I would like to see the available rooms for both options. The more private the location, the better," said Reginald resolutely.

The woman behind the desk smiled and stood up, walking around from behind the desk. "Please follow me," she said.

Ella followed the woman, along with her father and mother, walking to the back of the main building toward the back end of the resort.

"Both the two- and three-bedroom units are located along the back mountain, slightly further out. Each building has a small parking lot available to its residents," explained the housing administrator.

They continued to walk along the winding paths, picturing the beautiful landscape that was once here. After a 15-minute walk, they finally ended up in front of a large building, housing many living spaces.

The building looked to be in really good shape, thanks to the mountains covering most of the harsh wind gusts from the hurricane. There was also no visible sign of the earthquakes, making this place even better looking than most of the neighborhoods in the countryside.

"There are a few different floor plans available here, and all of the units in this building are either two or three bedrooms. The first one we will look at is here on the first floor, and it’s a three-bedroom unit," said the housing administrator.

She unlocked the door with her master key and allowed them to enter before her.

Ella stepped inside and was pleasantly surprised. The windows and walls were intact, and the rooms were more spacious than expected. While there was plenty of dust all over the place, it could easily be cleaned.
