Surviving the Apocalypse with my Multiplier System - Chapter 34

Chapter 34: Moving
Nadia quickly finished processing the paperwork, handing Rayne the completed deed in her name.

“Congratulations, Miss Weston, on the purchase of your new home! Here are your keys and access badges. You are free to move in whenever you like!” Nadia said happily.

“Thank you! I appreciate your help in finding this house!” Rayne replied.

After everything was taken care of, Rayne drove back to her apartment and began storing everything into her system. She started with the smaller items, such as clothes, dishes, toiletries, towels, blankets, books, etc.

Only a few minutes later, her cozy apartment was emptied, with only larger pieces of furniture left.

Rayne walked over to her couch and began to focus, preparing to store it. She was a little nervous because it was a large couch, and she wasn’t sure if she would pass out from the mental exhaustion.

To her surprise, the couch stored very quickly and without any pain or discomfort!

“I wonder if all the storing I’ve been doing recently has made it easier for me to use my system?” she asked out loud as she walked over to the dining table.

Once again, she gave the mental command to store the table, and moments later, it disappeared! Rayne was really happy with this discovery! She could now try storing even larger items!

Her goal was to be able to store cars, trucks, and RVs before the apocalypse.

Rayne walked around, storing the rest of the large furniture until the entire apartment was empty.

She then walked down to the leasing office of her apartment to turn in the keys and give the property managers notice that she was leaving.

Since she had only just given them notice, they said she would need to pay a fee to break the lease. Rayne expected this and paid with no issues. Her only request was to keep her move a secret if anyone were to ask. She even went as far as giving a fake address when she was asked where she was moving.

Rayne arrived back at the building of her new house. She used the key card to open the garage and parked her SUV inside.

Stepping through the door of her new house, Rayne smiled. She really loved the new open floor plan and the French country feel.

She walked over and opened a few windows to let in some fresh air. She took out a chair she had stored from her old apartment and placed it in a sunny spot by the open window.

The cool breeze and gentle sunlight washed over Rayne, causing her to lean back with her eyes closed to enjoy the moment.

Rayne hoped that she could experience moments like this in the future, even after the world turned upside down.

It was already mid-afternoon, and Rayne decided to celebrate the purchase of her new house with a good meal.

She knew exactly what she wanted, pulling out the juicy steak from the steakhouse she had gone to shortly after she got discharged from the hospital.

It was still sizzling after she took it out of her system, releasing a delicious aroma! Rayne ate with relish, enjoying every bite! She was so happy that she had stored this steak and could eat it whenever she wanted.

As she ate, she looked around the empty house and realized that her previous furniture would look really awkward in this new space. She knew that she would somehow need to get new furniture.

Rayne opened her laptop and began online shopping. She figured that going to a furniture gallery and storing all the items she wanted would be impossible without drawing attention. The items were too big to hide, and there were usually a lot of people.

She decided to order her furniture online and have it delivered directly to her new house. All of the items Rayne purchased were of high quality and craftsmanship. Although they were expensive, Rayne was very happy with how they looked and was excited for their arrival.

Rayne placed some of her old furniture in the new house until the new items came in. She lounged on her couch with her laptop, continuing to make her doomsday list.

She had a straightforward plan for obtaining most of the items she still needed. Things like cooking utensils, pots and pans, can openers, containers, buckets, bags, all types of clothing (for all sizes and genders), hygiene items, sanitation supplies, cleaning supplies and disinfectants, tools, etc.—she would go to a store and put them in her system manually.

The items Rayne knew she needed but that would be difficult to obtain were things like weapons and advanced medicines.

She couldn’t just walk into a hospitals pharmacy openly store the medicines, and she definitely couldn’t find a convenient store that openly sold guns and weapons out in the open.

As she continued to think about it she came across an online advertisement for a shooting range that was recently built in her city. Rayne eyes lit up! Although she wouldn’t be able to find super advanced weapons at a shooting range, she would be able to at least store a variety of handguns, maybe even a marksman rifle!

And to top it all off, she would learn how to use them properly! Rayne quickly sat up and dialed the number of the shooting range. She spoke to a woman on the phone who quickly helped Rayne register as a member.

After hanging up, Rayne opened her phone to add the shooting/marksmanship training classes to her calendar. She now had two more appointments a week in addition to the self-defense classes she continued to take.

The first marksmanship class was set for tomorrow, and Rayne was really excited to get started. The only thing left was to figure out a way to get her hands on advanced medicines.

Since there was still plenty of time left, Rayne decided to take a trip to her local library to begin storing books—especially the ones containing knowledge on how to do things.

Rayne wasn’t sure how bad things would be in the apocalypse or how long it would last, so she wanted to have important textbooks that could explain even the basics of things like gardening, plant identification, construction techniques, first aid, and medicine, etc.

She would also store books for entertainment, along with children’s books. The probability of losing electricity would be high, and methods of entertainment like reading would be helpful in relieving stress in this new, stressful environment.

The library was huge, with tens of thousands of books. Rayne hung her head, feeling overwhelmed by the task in front of her. She knew this would be a multi-day process, but looking at the reality of the situation, she knew she would be spending a very large chunk of her free time here.

She began in the gardening section, storing every book and replacing it. The pace at which she stored the books was very fast! She could store and replace a book as fast as she could blink, letting her blaze through the first few shelves of books.

She continued for a few hours, fully storing everything in the gardening and cookbook sections. Deciding to stop there, she left the library and went to find a place to have dinner.
