Chapter 204
Surviving the Apocalypse with my Multiplier System
Ian quickly agreed and told Rayne which house Anna was staying in. As the resident doctor, she was the leader of the female house.
Rayne quickly spotted Anna in her room. She was in the process of building her bed frame and had a big smile on her face.
"Oh, Rayne! Hello! Ah, I canât believe such a wonderful place existed!" she exclaimed, welcoming Rayne inside.
"Yes, itâs wonderful indeed! Julian is a very resourceful man. To have such foresight and build this place in secret is a very impressive task!" agreed Rayne.
This was the excuse they had both prepared. Julian had volunteered to take credit for this place under the guise of a future development project.
Anna nodded. "So what brings you here?" she asked while eyeing Rayne, looking for any signs of injury.
"Iâm actually here on behalf of one of the newcomers, Laura. Sheâs a few months pregnant and hasnât had any sort of consultation about her pregnancy. I was hoping you could give her a checkup?" said Rayne.
"Oh? Thereâs a pregnant woman here? Yes, of course, Iâll examine her. Iâm not an expert on womenâs health or childbirth, but I did do a few months of post-grad in a maternity ward," she smiled.
"Perfect! I will send her over after youâve settled in. Let me know if you need any tools or medicines. I can try to keep an eye out for you when I go out next time."
Anna smiled. "Thank you. I will give you a list. Ian gave me this entire house to myself so that I can set up the two bedrooms as medical wards. There are many things I wish I had brought from the bunker."
Rayne nodded. She would have to pretend to go out on a supply run eventually and bring back some of these items for Anna. Health was a very important thing, and providing Anna with the right tools and medicines could save lives.
When she left Annaâs house, she noticed that many people were already out, carrying dirt via wheelbarrows to fill in the holes.
It was mostly people from Brandonâs crew, along with a few men from Alpha Team. Rayne spotted Deondre out with a few of the other Alpha Team members, and it seemed like they were getting along very well.
"What are you looking at?" Julianâs voice sounded from behind her.
Rayne turned around and smiled. "Iâm just happy to see that people are getting along well."
She watched as Ian walked over to Deondre, seriously talking to him about something in private.
"Whatâs going on there? It looks important," asked Rayne.
Julian laughed. "Ian always has a stern expression when talking to his subordinates. Heâs most likely assigning a scouting mission. I asked him to get information about whatâs happening at the government base." Discover more content at freewebnovel "Oh, I see. Yes, the more we know, the better we will be. I hope heâs careful," she replied, looking slightly worried.
Ever since Ivanâs team was pronounced dead and Jess was revealed to be a traitor, Rayne had been worried about future missions. She didnât want to hear about more deaths.
"Donât worry. Deondre is our best scout; he knows what heâs doing," assured Julian.
They watched the others explore their new environment with smiles on their faces. Rayne felt very gratified by this experience and was happy that her ability could help at least this many people.
She hoped that this small settlement in the forest would one day grow to be one of many colonies in the future.

A few weeks later...
The weather had finally warmed up to the point of no longer needing to run the stoves and heaters at night.
Even during the day, the sun shone so brightly that the daytime temperatures were considered hot.
Everyone at the new base was settling in very well, and the once hollow faces were returning to their former round and full shapes.
Laura was especially glowing these days. Anna had made it a point to check in on her regularly, and thankfully, the pregnancy was going well.
Initially, a major concern was the severe lack of nutrition she had suffered from her poor diet, but ever since moving to the new base, she ate well, resolving that issue.
Rayne was also able to "find" prenatal vitamins along with some of the basic medical equipment that Anna had asked for, further helping Laura get the nutrients she needed.
Brandonâs group proved to be filled with eager, hard workers, already making good progress on the fields beside the lake.
"Hey, babe, are you ready to head out?" asked Julian. Today, they were planning on going out on another "supply run," which, for Rayne and Julian, meant a getaway date.
Surviving the Apocalypse with my Multiplier System ï¤Chapter 203: Move In Day Julian, in particular, was looking forward to it because ever since they had moved into the new base, Rayne had been spending all of her free time working on various projects.
Even at night, she was so tired that she fell asleep as soon as she touched the bed, leaving Julian with a brewing desire.
Rayne looked over at Julianâs eager expression and laughed. "Yes, Iâm ready. Letâs go!" She found this side of him very adorable.
After leaving Noah in charge, they hopped into Rayneâs SUV and drove off. Todayâs destination was another coastal town on the other side of the mountain.
It was a place that used to be popular for its beaches, and Rayne had always wanted to go. It was about a five-hour drive from their base, so it would have to be at least an overnight trip.
Since Julian offered to drive first, Rayne was looking over the small piece of paper that had peopleâs requests.
Rayne, of course, already had all of these items in her system, so they werenât actually going to go looking for anything.
Even the medical equipment requests that Anna wrote down were already available in Rayneâs system since she had managed to store all of the medical equipment from the bunker before they moved out.
Her mind wandered from thoughts of the bunker to Deondre, who was still on his scouting mission.
"I hope Deondre comes back soon," she said. It had been a few weeks since he left, and there had been no news.
Julian smiled. "Itâs okay. These scouting missions take timeâitâs not just a run in and out. Heâs integrating himself as one of the baseâs residents to blend in. Gathering information is also a long process since you canât find everything out in one day."
Julianâs explanation made her feel better. In her mind, the scouting mission would take like three days, and he would be back, but she was clearly mistaken.
"You should put more trust in him. Iâm not joking when I say that heâs very skilled," said Julian, placing his hand on top of hers.
