Surviving the Apocalypse with my Multiplier System - Chapter 163

Chapter 163: Bunker Discovered
Damien’s Base

Dillon was sitting at a table with Ace and Cal, his two team leads, in his apartment.

“We need to begin our mission to infiltrate the government base. Ace, you will take five men with you and begin to integrate yourself into the base,” ordered Dillon.

Ace bowed politely. “Yes, boss! We will set off tomorrow!”

He already knew that he was going to be sent on this mission from a meeting with Dillon a few days ago, but it had been delayed due to the snowfall.

Now that Dillon had been promoted to the very top, he also got to reap some of the benefits. Everyone on Dillon’s team had received a small promotion and now had access to many more supplies.

Ace was now more motivated than ever to perform well in his duties and accepted the new mission with excitement.

“I will take Cal for a slightly different mission, then meet up with you later,” said Dillon. He wasn’t particularly excited to leave the comfort of Damien’s underground base, but it was something he couldn’t avoid.

There was also the off chance he would run into Rayne there, and that was reason enough to venture out.

After discussing a few more details, Ace left to make the final preparations before leading his team to the government base.

As soon as Dillon was left alone, Jess walked over and wrapped her arms around his chest.

“Who are you looking for? Maybe I can help,” she murmured into his ear.

Dillon frowned, not wanting to discuss details with a woman, but suddenly remembered that she worked for REN Corporation.

“Wait. Did you know that the CEO of REN Corporation is still alive?” he asked her curiously. After thinking about it, he wasn’t sure what her role in that organization was.

Jess’s eyes flashed with bitterness and longing as she pictured Julian’s face in her mind. A part of her still desired him, but she quickly snapped out of it.

This was her life now, and she had already burned all the bridges back.

“Yes, of course, I know. I worked for him directly,” she smiled and began massaging his shoulders.

Dillon perked up at this new discovery! He felt like Jess had just become a lot more useful to him.

He allowed her to massage him a little while longer before he turned to face her, bringing her to sit on his lap.

“I want to gift you something nice. Tell me, what would you like?” he asked her sweetly.

Jess nearly melted at his sweetness, unaware he was simply using her for her body and knowledge.

“Oh, baby, my only wish is to be beside you,” she smiled blissfully.

Dillon turned on his “lady killer” mode and continued to play the part of a loving and gentle boyfriend.

He leaned in to kiss her gently. “You know you always will be. From the moment I laid my eyes on you, I knew you were special.”

His words worked wonders, and now Jess was seeing hearts everywhere, completely wrapped around his finger.

After a few more minutes of sweet-talking and gentle kisses, Dillon finally turned to Jess. “One of my big missions is to find the CEO of REN Corporation. Would you be willing to help me out with this task? If you do, I’ll announce that you’re my main woman.”

Jess didn’t even wait for him to finish speaking before she agreed wholeheartedly. After hearing she would be presented as his main woman, she felt her skin tingle with excitement.

“Will you spend the night with me today? Just me?” she asked with misty eyes.

“Of course, babe. I’ll spoil you tonight,” said Dillon, waiting for her to share any information she could about the CEO of REN Corp.

A few minutes later, he finally got what he wanted to hear.

“His name is Julian, and he’s staying in an underground bunker not too far away,” she said, drawing circles on his chest with her finger.

“Oh? So close?” asked Dillon. His interest was piqued. He could tell that the higher-ups were very interested in finding this person.

Jess nodded coyly. “Yes, not only that, but even his family is stationed nearby, but they don’t have a good relationship at all. If you can’t find him, using them to lure him out might not be a bad idea.”

Dillon was thrilled at the amount of information he got from her. He was in a very rare ecstatic mood and picked up Jess, carrying her into the bedroom.

After a long and heated session in the bedroom, he finally walked out feeling refreshed. He needed to make preparations to send a team to find this hidden bunker that Jess told him about, as well as locate Julian’s family.

Dillon considered letting Tristan know about this newly acquired information, but he decided that it would be more of a wow factor if he was able to complete this mission from start to finish on his own.

He walked around to the various departments where he was met with respect and recruited people to prepare supplies in order to infiltrate Julian’s secret bunker.

After finishing the preplanning, he met with Cal, who would be joining him in infiltrating the bunker.

They made plans to set off tomorrow, after everything was sorted.

The Next Day

Dillon woke up to meet up with Cal and the group of trained men he had previously requested.

Everyone showed up armed and ready, and they all went over to the garage to check out some vehicles.

Dillon sat in the passenger seat while Cal drove. He was dressed in warm clothes and a bulletproof vest, like everyone else.

“I was told that the bunker is deep in the forest, so we’ll need to move on foot for a while,” said Dillon, brainstorming the possible outcomes of this encounter.

“Also, make sure everyone knows that we need Julian alive. The leaders want him alive for some reason,” said Dillon authoritatively.

“I’ll let them know, boss!” replied Cal.

He just parked the car at the location Jess told Dillon about on the highway. Dillon looked around and spotted the very large evergreen tree that Jess used as a marker.

“Looks like this is the spot,” said Dillon and jumped into the knee-high snow. The others followed behind him, armed and ready to shoot if anything hostile came their way.

They walked through the freezing cold, snow-ridden forest for hours before they finally found the hill that Jess described.

“It’s here,” said Dillon, kicking up the snow. He searched around for the hidden hatch, ordering the others to start digging.

The cold quickly caught up to everyone, stiffening their bodies. Cal and the rest of the workers’ movements got slower and slower as the bitter cold seeped deep into their bodies.

They dug around for about twenty minutes until Cal finally found what Dillon was looking for—the entry hatch that was hidden behind a bush.

“B…boss! It’s here,” called out Cal, his teeth chattering.

Dillon walked over and entered the door code that Jess gave him.

Beep, beep, beep! The keylock beeped three times, indicating that the wrong code was entered.

“Stupid bitch can’t even remember the correct door code,” grumbled Dillon with frustration.
