Surviving the Apocalypse with my Multiplier System - Chapter 130

Chapter 130: Late Night Intrusion
Rayne and Julian decided to call it early and head to bed. They had spent most of the day moving heavy furniture from the apartments in the small town and up to Ella’s unit.

After a quick shower, Rayne entered the bedroom and sat down on her bed. Although their beds were in close proximity, she felt that the distance was too great.

After waking up in Julian’s arms, she realized just how much she enjoyed the warmth of his embrace.

Shaking her head she tried to snap out of her thoughts. “Get a grip of yourself. You shared a bed once with him and now you want to make it permanent”, she mumbled.

She pulled out a night cream for her face while Julian was showering, waiting for him to finish.

Just as Julian entered the bedroom he frowned seeing the two twin beds. “Hey, let’s upgrade our room. These two beds take up too much space. One larger bed would be much better”, he grinned.

Rayne laughed, happy that he felt the same way as she did. “Okay, let’s do as you suggested”, she said, quickly jumping off her bed and storing everything in the room.

This time she pulled out the bedframe that they had built for him back at the bunker to spare them from having to put together a new one.

She also chose the same mattress he had chosen previously and quickly made the bed with fresh sheets and blankets.

The room felt bigger now with just one bed, but also more cozy. The added space also allowed her to place two nightstands, one on either side of the bed.

She felt a lot less shy about sharing the bed with Julian, looking forward to him playing with her hair as she fell asleep.

Julian was also ecstatic with this new progress they made. He did not expect her to comply with his request so easily, receiving a surprise.

They spent the night happily in each other’s embrace, sleeping peacefully until they heard the living room window shatter.

Rayne and Julian quickly jolted out of bed and leaned against the bedroom wall beside their door. Rayne took out two copies of the high-tech silver pistol and handed one of them to Julian.

On the other side of the wall, Tee couldn’t help but exclaim at the things he saw, “Wow, look! This place looks better than my apartment did before everything went to shit!”.

“Shut up!”, Rico hushed. They had finally decided to take action after being delayed day after day. Now he wanted to prevent the young couple from waking up, trying to get in, loot, and get out.

Little did he know that ‘the young couple’ was wide awake, and listening to their every movement.

The whole group of men made it inside the apartment and spread to loot anything they could find.

As soon as Julian heard their movements he pushed open the bedroom door and pointed his gun. Rayne followed behind him doing the same.

“Drop everything and leave now and I’ll let you live”, announced Julian. While he wasn’t happy with them breaking in, he didn’t want to kill if he didn’t have to.

Rico motioned to Tee with his eyes and Tee quickly dropped what he was holding and dropped to his knees, “Don’t shoot, I’m so sorry!”, he wailed.

Julian frowned but slightly lowered his gun. In that moment Rico pulled out a metal crowbar he had behind his back and swung it right at Julian’s head.

Julian was unprepared for his surprise attack, unable to react in time.

As the crowbar quickly approached him, Rayne quickly aimed her pistol and shot Rico directly into his chest, killing him instantly.

The crowbar lost momentum and fell to the ground, sparing Julian from getting hit.

Tee and the rest of the guys were shocked at the development. They were convinced that the guns they were holding were fake only meant to scare them.

However, instead of running away and begging for their life, they all got up and dashed towards Rayne and Julian, trying to avenge their leader.

“We will kill you for harming our big bro!”, yelled Tee as he ran towards Rayne, wanting to claw her eyes.

Julian quickly recovered from the crowbar incident and took aim, shooting all of the men in quick succession before they approached Rayne.

Soon the room fell into silence, with dead bodies littered all over the floor.

Julian walked over to Rayne and hugged her. “Are you okay?”, he whispered, observing her closely.

Rayne looked up at him and nodded. “I was so worried he was going to hit you. My body reacted on its own”, she said quickly.

She felt Julian’s arms tighten around her, “Thank you, you saved me”.

They stood in the dark room holding each other until the cool breeze entered from the broken window, chilling them.

Julian frowned looking down at the fresh corpses, “I’ll have to figure out where to drag their bodies. We can’t keep them here for too long”.

Rayne walked over, “Let me see if I can dispose of them. I’ve never tried using my system on humans…”.

She placed her hand on one of the corpses and gave the mental command to store. To her surprise, it worked! The body was no longer on the ground and a new icon appeared on the system panel.

Not wanting to keep dead bodies in her system, she quickly dragged the icon over to the trash bin, deleting the icon permanently.

She walked around doing the same with the rest of the bodies, and in a matter of a few minutes, the floor was clean except for a few blood splatters.

Julian bent down to help her clean the remaining mess, “That ability of yours is very useful, you can delete evidence directly”.

Rayne hummed in response and continued cleaning. She felt a little weird about deleting a human body out of the plane of existence like that.

Julian saw her ‘lost in thought’ expression and walked over, “Here, give me the cleaning supplies and rinse off with a hot shower. I’ll finish cleaning here”.

After all of the cleaning was finished and they both rinsed off in case any blood got on to them, they curled up in bed.

Julian temporarily taped a piece of cardboard to cover the smashed window, deciding to fix it in the morning.
