Surviving the Apocalypse with my Multiplier System-Chapter 233: Lucky Star

The caravan finally set off from the chicken farm. Their route would take them around the city, past the government base, and back home.

Rayne sat on the small sofa beside Ella and looked out the window.

"You're sleeping first, right? I'll trade with you later", said Ella.

Rayne nodded while yawning, "Yes, please"

Liam and Ella were in charge of driving while the rest of the team slept. They all decided to split into two shifts so that they would make it home faster.

The streets were quiet and the drive was peaceful. Liam was driving and Ella was navigating.

"Okay, so the government base should be coming up shortly and then it's the home stretch!", said Ella. She had the map laid out in front of her with the route marked in pink highlighter.

As they approached the road leading to the government base, Ella noticed a person leaning against the guard rail on the side of the road.

"Look, someone is there. Should we stop?", she asked.

Liam stayed quiet, thinking about whether they should stop or ignore the person. He slowed down as they got closer.

"Oh, he looks injured", Ella frowned.

It looked like he had a cut on his arm and was trying to tie his wound with a ripped shirt.

Liam finally made the decision to pull over and offer assistance. He scanned the perimeter but didn't see anyone else, feeling slightly better.

Ella hopped out as soon as the RV stopped.

"Hi, are you injured? Do you need help?", she said walking over to the man.

He looked up at her with a surprised look, "Please don't hurt me! I'm innocent".

"It's okay, you're safe", said Ella.

She took a few steps forward, trying not to startle the man.

Liam also stepped out of the RV and quietly approached. He tried to asses the injury on the man's arm but something didn't look right.

The wound didn't seem to be all that bad, and he was starting to doubt if it even existed.

"Ella! Get back!", yelled Liam.

Ella turned to look at him, confused as to what was going on. The moment she turned her back, the 'injured' man jumped up and grabbed her from behind, covering her mouth.

Her eyes widened as she did her best to scream, trying to wake up the rest of the people in the RV.

She watched in horror as unfamiliar men walked out of the RV, dragging Rayne and the others.

Rayne was startled awake by someone violently grabbing her. But before she had a chance to fight back she found herself restrained by a pair of arms, stronger than iron.

Her body shook as she realized that these were Damien's men.

"Don't worry beauty, my boss will be here soon. He likes the pretty ones", the man said with a sadistic laugh.

The two members of Alpha Team were in a similar predicament, trying to break free from an inhumanly strong grasp. They regretted their decision to sleep at the same time, leaving the caravan vulnerable.

They were all dragged out and gagged, waiting for the leader to arrive. The other men were quickly looting the inside of the RV, trying to stuff as much of their pockets as they could while they had the chance.

Dillon walked out of the forest with an annoyed frown.

"I swear if you called me over here to deal with random losers I won't let you hear the end of it", he said.

Cal trembled slightly, praying that there were some clues to Julian's whereabouts in this ambush. They had been watching this road for days and nothing worth anything came of it.

He knew that Dillon's patience was wearing thin.

Dillon walked over to the side of the RV, closely inspecting the faces of the captured caravan.

He took a few steps forward, halting in front of Rayne.

His eyes widened and a frightening smile bloomed on his face.

"I finally found you"

Rayne tried to fight the grip, sending Dillon an evil look as she thrashed around.

"Don't look at me like that. I've been searching for you this entire time", he said.

His face twisted into a blissful smile that sent a shiver down her spine. Everything told her that he was even more dangerous than the last time she saw him.

He walked over and ran his hands down her face, leaning in to kiss her on the cheek.

"Ah, the gods do have eyes! I've looked everywhere for you!", he laughed.

Rayne tried to pull away from him, disgusted by his touch.

She screamed but the cloth that was shoved into her mouth muffled the sounds.

Dillon's eyes sparkled as he reached over to pull the cloth out.

"You're right. How can I kiss you with this in the way?"

"Get the fuck away from me", she roared as soon as the cloth was pulled out of her mouth.

Dillon chuckled, "You've gotten even feistier! But I like it that way"

He walked over looking at her as if she was the last drop of water in the middle of the desert.

Rayne was just about to spit on him when a fierce strike knocked her unconscious.

"Good, carry her back to the bunker", ordered Dillon, following closely behind.

Ella tried her best to pull free. Tears were pouring down her face as she watched Rayne being taken away.

"Sir, what do we do with the rest?", asked Cal.

Dillon thought about the time when Layla mentioned that Rayne was Julian's woman. A small smile appeared on his face.

"Loot the caravan then let them go. Knock them out first", he said.

Cal looked at Dillon, confused. He didn't know why they were only capturing one of them, but since this is what Dillon wanted, that's what he would do.

Ella and the rest of the caravan team were knocked out and placed back inside the RV, with their hands and legs tied up.

Meanwhile, the rest of Cal's team unloaded boxes of supplies, one after another.

While his men were busy carrying the supplies over to the base, Dillon sat beside the unconscious Rayne, gliding his fingers through her hair. Excitement was bubbling inside of him as he looked at her.

"You really are my lucky star"
