Surviving the Apocalypse with my Multiplier System - Chapter 90

Chapter 90: Investigating
Damien’s Base

Leader Ace woke up early to meet his new recruits. He wanted to set out early so that he could bring back any useful information to his boss, Dillon, making up for his mistake.

As he approached the new recruit housing area, he was pleased to see that the men he picked out were all standing outside, eagerly waiting to prove themselves.

“Okay, good. You’re all here. Let’s move out. I’ll tell you what you need to do when we get there,” he said in a commanding tone.

The men all stood up straight, wanting to appear more capable in front of him. “Yes, sir!” they shouted.

Ace then motioned for them to follow him as he walked out of the hidden base. They walked for a while before they finally reached the street where the warehouse store was located.

“Okay, our mission today is to investigate and retrieve any weapons. There was a shootout here earlier, and I need to know what sort of weapon was used to kill. Two of you will search the bodies over there and bring back any evidence. The rest of you will follow me into that broken building.”

The men quickly split up and began doing their tasks. Ace walked over to the old post office building where he had previously thrown the grenade and looked around.

He was certain that the person who shot his men was hiding inside this building, but after carefully searching for any signs of someone being there, he didn’t find anything.

“Hey, boss, we found these strange bullets in each of the dead bodies,” said one of the men. He had a little bit of firearm experience, which is why he could tell that something about the bullets was off.

Ace turned around and looked at the three dark bullets in his hand. “Why are there only three? There should be four.”

“Sir, there were only three bodies in the street. Each man was shot once. I can tell by the wound,” he replied, confused.

Ace frowned. “There should be four bodies, not three. Take a look around and see if you can find anything else.”

The man left after handing over the three bullets. Ace looked down at his hand, feeling the abnormal weight of the bullets. “I’ll have to bring this to Boss Dillon.”

As he was examining the bullets, another one of his men came over. “Leader, we can’t find any signs of a dead person. There should be at least blood, but there’s nothing around. We even moved the heavy debris to look underneath.”

Just as Ace was going to reply, another man walked over. “Leader, we found the fourth body behind this broken building. The clothes were cut off the same way as the other bodies.”

“Bring me to it,” he replied, wanting to verify the identity of the body. The man led Ace behind the building, where he found the body that Anna had inspected earlier.

Kneeling down, Ace carefully looked over the naked body. He noticed the needle marks on its arm. “It looks like someone was drawing blood. I’ll need to report this as soon as possible.”

Since Ace was low in the rankings of Damien’s gang, he wasn’t sure why someone would be interested in taking blood from a dead body, but he felt it was strange enough to report.

Ace spent a few more hours combing through the collapsed post office building, making sure he didn’t miss anything before he turned his attention to his second task—women.

“Okay, last task of the day, and we get to go back,” he said, rounding up his men. “We need to find at least one sexy woman to bring back. Make sure she has nice big tits and a curvy body.”

One of the new recruits hesitated, while the others had a look of excitement on their faces. The one who hesitated looked over. “Leader, what do you plan to do with the woman? It feels a little wrong taking them by force.”

Leader Ace looked over and smirked. “What do you mean? You think bringing a woman over to have a better life is wrong? Isn’t your life much better now than it was when you were out on the streets?”

The recruit lowered his head. “Yes, it’s indeed much better. I have a roof over my head and three hot meals a day.”

“See, you’re practically doing a saint’s job. Helping a beautiful woman live a more comfortable life. Hey, she might be so grateful to you that she’d pay you back for saving her…if you get what I mean,” said Ace with a cheeky grin.

Of course, he knew that if the woman was truly beautiful, even he wouldn’t get a taste of her until she lost the upper boss’ favor. Even up until now, he had only gotten a taste of one woman, but it was an experience he would never forget.

The recruit was no longer as hesitant as before after listening to Ace’s words. He still had a slight gut feeling that it was wrong, but the possibility of being ‘thanked’ by a beautiful woman was too alluring.

“Come now, I know there should be at least two women around here. If it weren’t for this mystery shooter, they’d be living a glamorous life by now,” laughed Ace as he walked toward where the previous two women were originally found.

Three hours later, Ace finally noticed a woman run around the corner. She looked like she was looking for supplies but was very wary of her surroundings.

Ace had his men stationed inside an old parking garage, observing the surroundings. This area had a lot of shops, making it a popular spot for looters to visit.

“Hey, look. That one over there is good. She’s alone too,” he said, alerting his men to her position.

One of the recruits observed her and frowned. “But leader, she doesn’t look very pretty. Look, her face is covered in dirt.”

“Moron, look at her body. She’s got all the curves! Plus, many of the prettier ones like to mask their beauty with mud or dirt to avoid unwanted attention,” explained Ace.

The man looked over again and agreed that her body shape was indeed very sexy.

“Okay, so here’s the plan. We quietly follow her to one of the stores and wait outside. When she leaves the store, we quickly tie her up and bring her with us. I even brought tape this time to shut her mouth. Otherwise, they make too much noise,” said Ace.

The four men nodded and followed their leader out of the parking garage.
