Surviving the Apocalypse with my Multiplier System novel Chapter 275

"Welcome to your new home!"

As soon as he finished his greeting, dozens of men came out of the heavy metal double doors, armed with guns.

They formed a circle around all of the cars, tight enough so that no one could slip through.

"Alright, everyone, get out of the cars slowly. If anyone shows any sign of aggression, we won't hesitate to shoot!" the leader called out and motioned for everyone to get out.

Rayne stepped out, followed by Julian and the others. They all stood quietly in the center of the circle, waiting for what came next.

After the leader made sure that everyone was out of the cars, he walked over to stand in front of the double doors.

"Everyone needs to form a line. Once inside, you will be separated into smaller groups. Anyone who takes a single step out of place will be killed!"

The circle of people quickly morphed into one big line. Rayne and Julian were towards the front and were the first group called in.

They quietly walked through the metal double doors, entering a smaller room that resembled an airlock.

Inside, there was a very tall, burly man who wore sunglasses even though there were no windows to the outside.

"You five, step forward and lift your arms. I'm going to search you for any weapons."

Julian was in the first group and stepped forward, lifting his arms as instructed. Rayne was watching from behind, slightly nervous about how they would react if they found the pocket knife on him.

The man checked two people before walking in front of Julian.

"Sir, I have a knife in my pocket," said Julian, calmly.

The tall man paused and looked at him carefully, "Very well. Thank you for telling me."

He reached into Julian's pockets and pulled out the small pocket knife, inspecting it closely.

"Haha, this little thing wouldn't be able to do any kind of damage. Was it your father's or something? If you pass induction, I'll even return it to you," the man laughed.

Rayne let out a sigh of relief, glad that the man didn't cause trouble for Julian.

After the first five people were checked, they moved to the side so that the other five could step up and get checked.

Rayne was in the second group and followed the others, lifting her arms.

She was slightly concerned that the man would try to feel her up during the inspection, but thankfully, he didn't seem interested in that kind of thing.

He quickly patted her down and moved on to the next person.

"Okay, you guys wait in the next room. Once the others are in, we'll decide where to sort you."

Everyone quietly moved into the other room. Julian pulled Rayne to the back, "Babe, I'm not sure how much longer we'll be able to stay together. Please place your safety above everything else."

Rayne nodded, "You too, hubby." She leaned over and placed a small kiss on his lips.

While everyone's attention was on the door, Rayne handed Julian a combat knife and a gun.

"We've already passed the checkpoint. There shouldn't be any more searches. Is there anything else you need?" she asked worriedly.

Julian took the knife and gun, slipping them into his deep pockets, "No, this should be enough. Too many things would make it harder to keep hidden."

Julian stayed quiet, glaring at her.

"How adorable! Those fierce looks you're giving me to protect the girl you love are simply wonderful! It'll make it that much more enjoyable when I take her from you! Ahaha!"

She snapped her fingers, and a burly man walked over and shoved Julian to the side. Rayne tried to drop to the ground to help him up, but the woman reached out and caught her arm, pulling her in.

"Oh my! Such a rare beauty indeed! It's a shame you're not a virgin, though your beauty should still make up for that."

Rayne twisted her arm, breaking free from the woman's grasp before turning her attention to Julian.

"I'm fine. It was just a small fall," he said, accepting her help to get up.

The woman watched their interaction with a small smile until Julian stood up. "That was so cute that in the spirit of love, I'll allow you to have your last kiss!" she said, laughing.

Julian glared at her, pulling Rayne behind him.

"Oh, you're quite the looker, too. Just look at those muscles! I'll tell you what. If you work really, really hard and climb through the ranks, maybe you can ask for her as your reward one day!" she laughed.

Rayne felt sick at the mention of a reward system. This implied that they kept multiple women to hand out as rewards.

"Okay, enough talk. The rest of you need to get settled. Fierce beauty, you're coming with me", she said and snapped her fingers.

The burly man from earlier pulled Rayne away from Julian, dragging her to where the other girls were standing with their heads lowered.

As the woman walked towards the door, she looked at the other leader, "I've picked my lot. The rest can be sent to the kitchens or whatever."
