Surviving the Apocalypse with my Multiplier System novel Chapter 92

The first person to give their report was a tall woman with bright purple hair. She wore a woman’s suit, which made her give off the feeling that she was either a lawyer, a dominatrix, or somewhere in between.

She bowed politely and quickly introduced herself. "Hello, I’m Mai, leader of Team Summit. Recently, I have taken on many supply and scouting missions. A week ago, I caught wind of the government setting up a base at a newly built mountain resort. I have already sent a team of men over and just recently received confirmation that they have settled into the base and are ready to pass along any needed information."

The scholarly man nodded, fixing his glasses with his finger. "Very good. I will see you after the meeting with further instructions."

Mai smiled. "Thank you, sir."

After she finished, the man continued to go around the room, occasionally writing down bits of information from each team.

The man at the center of the table continued to lay back with his eyes closed while everyone took their turns giving their updates.

Dillon was at the end of the line and was the last to go. When the scholarly man finally looked over at him, signaling him to speak, Dillon stepped forward.

"Hello, I’m Dillon, leader of Team Runner," he said, bowing politely. "Recently, my team was attacked, which ended with four of my men dead. The only survivor of the team reported that the weapon used produced no sound at all..."

Dillon then reached into his pocket, pulled out the three black bullets, and walked over to the corner of the conference table, placing them on the table.

"These were the bullets that were retrieved from the dead bodies," he said.

The scholarly man reached out to pick one of the bullets up, noticing its abnormality. "Grant, take a look," he said as he slid the bullet toward a serious-looking, buff man who was sitting on the other side of the table.

Grant picked up the bullet and inspected it closely. "Hmm, this is very unique indeed. As an expert in firearms, I can confidently state that there is no other bullet in the world like this."

Dillon noticed that the man who had kept his eyes closed the whole time finally opened them, looking at the bullet on the table.

The scholarly man picked up another bullet and placed it in front of the man at the center of the table, allowing him to get a better look.

Grant looked over at the man in the middle of the table and said, "Boss, I’ll take this bullet apart when I get back. But just looking at it, I can say it smells like REN Corporation."

The man in the middle didn’t reply, only nodded his head.

The scholarly man turned back to Dillon. "Is there anything else?"

Dillon nodded. "Yes, one more discovery. It looked like someone was inspecting the dead bodies. There were signs of blood being drawn and their clothing was carefully cut off. I will also add that these men were originally part of the experimental team."

As soon as Dillon finished talking, the man in the middle of the room began to laugh. "Haha! You sneaky rat! I had a feeling you were still alive!". Dillon wasn’t sure about what he was referring to, but decided not to ask.

The man looked over at Dillon and tapped on the table, giving the scholarly man a subtle message that Dillon had caught his eye.

The scholarly man looked up at Dillon. "Good work, you’ve provided valuable information. I will be contacting you shortly." _{freewёbnoνel.com}
