Surviving the Apocalypse with my Multiplier System - Chapter 140

Chapter 140: Missing Scout
As the two men approached the trees, Mark pointed at an arm hanging out of a bush.

They used hand signals to communicate in order to minimize the amount of noise they made.

Deondre walked over to the bush and carefully pushed the leaves and branches aside, exposing a familiar face.

Mark looked angry upon seeing his teammate dead. Deondre had to signal for him to calm down.

Deondre was also very angry and hurt that someone he called a brother was dead, but he knew that he needed to stay calm to deal with whatever dangers lurked in the vicinity.

He quickly looted the usable items and radio still on the body, then quietly moved it out of the bush.

When they got back from this mission, he would ask Ian if he could lead a team to bury the bodies.

The second body was found dead in a tree. It was a clear bullet wound that killed him.

Deondre signaled to Mark, stating that they were ambushed from behind due to the angle of the bullet.

They continued around the building, trying to find the rest of the team and mark their locations.

When they finally made it to the roof of the building, Deondre signaled where two more of the bodies were lying.

Doing the same as with the others, they carefully took all of the valuable items off of them and laid them out carefully so that they were on their backs.

The freezing temperatures kept the bodies frozen and preserved, giving them time to come back at a later date to bury them properly.

Deondre wrote down their location in his notebook and signaled to Mark, saying there were two more members that they still needed to find.

After thoroughly searching the entire perimeter, they entered inside. They took their time walking through, listening, and observing before pushing forward to avoid traps or ambushes.

They made it through the first half of the building and into the back end, where Deondre finally spotted Ivan’s body.

Before rushing forward, he quietly observed the surroundings. He checked the ceiling rafters and any other hidden spots before finally moving over to Ivan’s body, which was lying in the middle of the room.

He felt tears well up as he inspected his good friend’s body, noticing the deep gash through his back.

This injury didn’t kill Ivan instantly; instead, it made him suffer great pain before he died from blood loss.

Wiping away his tears, Deondre said a small prayer for Ivan, promising to avenge him. With Mark’s help, he moved Ivan’s body to a hidden corner and marked the location in his notebook.

After Ivan was taken care of, the last person they needed to find was Jess. They carefully combed through the rest of the building but were unable to find any traces of Jess.

Deondre thought long and hard about where Ivan would have stationed her, and the only logical place was inside the building with him.

He signaled to Mark to recheck the front rooms of the building to make sure they hadn’t missed anything. A few minutes later, Mark came over to find Deondre and signaled for him to follow.

Mark led him to the room where the prototypes were locked up and pointed to the open closet.

Deondre’s eyes widened. There was no sign of tampering on the lock, and all of the prototypes were missing.

The only explanation was that someone entered the pin code to unlock the cabinet… and only members of Alpha Team knew the code.

His mind raced, coming up with possibilities. Jess was missing along with the prototypes. His stomach knotted up, his gut telling him that Jess was the cause of his dead brothers.

However, without any proof, accusing a team member was a grave offense. The other option was that she was captured and forced to open the lock at gunpoint. This was what Mark was currently thinking.

He signaled to Deondre that they needed to hurry back and report the situation. He was worried that Jess was being tortured and they needed to come up with a plan to rescue her.

Little did they know that Jess was being happily “tortured” in a totally different way and that she desired no rescue.

When Rayne woke up again, the first Rays of sunlight were already peaking over the horizon. The small bedroom felt warm from both of the heaters, making a comfortable environment.

Julian woke up from her small movements and quickly pulled her into his embrace before she had time to get out of bed.

“Lay here for a little while longer with me. It’s so cozy with you”, he said in his sleepy voice.

Rayne’s face flushed but she complied, enjoying their closeness. She shifted her body back a little so that she was the little spoon while Julian was the big spoon.

“Whoa! Careful there. You’re gonna wake up the little guy with those kinds of movements”, said Julian, feeling Rayne’s butt shift back right into his crotch area.

A few moments later Rayne felt something poking from behind, her making her blush even harder. Certainly not little.

Julian pulled her in closer so that she wouldn’t run away. “Don’t run, you’ll be feeling it more in the future”, he breathed into her ear.

Her heart began to race and her body began to tingle all over. There was a desire deep inside of her that wanted to feel more of it right now, but she wasn’t sure if right now was a good time.

Julian closed his eyes, fighting back his desire. Rayne turned to face him, showing him her misty eyes.

Julian didn’t think twice before leaning in and kissing her passionately on the lips.

The kiss lasted a long time since neither one of them wanted to let go. This added to Julian’s fervor and he continued to kiss her more and more.

Rayne felt the electricity run down through her as the rest of her body heated up. Julian shifted over so that he was bent over on top of her.

He continued to kiss her passionately only giving her brief moments to catch her breath in between.

Rayne wrapped her hands around his neck, bringing him in closer. They continued to kiss as their desires intensified even more.

Rayne felt him poke her even more from this position, causing her body to squirm on its own accord.

“God Rayne, I want you so–“
