My Reborn Apocalypse Begins with a Divorce novel Chapter 193

Chapter 193

Ray first checked the surveillance feed. Only after confirming that everything was safe did he step outside.

In weather this cold, an ambush was unlikely–but a little caution never hurt.

Caution was the first rule of survival.

The frigid air rushed in, and Ray’s mind immediately sharpened. All the flirtatious beauties at home were pushed to the back of his thoughts. Thinking about lust at a time like this would be nothing but courting death.

As he exited the passageway, he saw light in the distance. Firelight.

They were willing to burn fuel, huh–even set up a bonfire.

Well, that made sense. It was freezing out here. Who could stand it for long without some warmth?

Ray didn’t use a flashlight. With a brief activation of spatial perception every now and then, everything within eight meters- front, back, left, right–was crystal clear. Where could a blind spot possibly be?

It was clearer than daylight, so it was completely impossible to sneak up on him.

He moved closer without making a sound.

“Why hasn’t Ray shown up yet?”

“Yeah, it’s already twelve–thirty!”

“Spence, is Ray stringing you along?”

Spence Graham–the man who had delivered the message earlier–furrowed his brow and shook his head. “That shouldn’t be the case. He agreed readily and said he’d definitely come.”

“Right. Why wouldn’t he? We even said we’d elect him as leader!”

“He doesn’t know that-”

“Shh!”

Someone immediately cut them off, and everyone fell silent.

“Watch what you say,” one man said gravely. “What we decide today will determine the fate of the entire neighborhood.”

“Yes.” The others nodded in agreement.

The atmosphere cooled, and they resumed waiting for Ray.

Ray moved through the darkness as if equipped with infrared vision, every detail etched clearly into his mind How many people- were there, where they were hiding he knew it all

A cold smile tugged at his lips. Now that he’d scoped out the situation, it was time to start the game

He stopped creeping and began walking forward openly

“ifuh?”

“Ray!”

“Ray’s here!”

People nearby spotted him in the faint firelight and cried out in surprise. Ray had arrived)

Those blocking his path stepped aside, allowing him to move forward smoothly–one could also say he was voluntarily walking

straight into their encirclement.

“Ray, you finally made it.”

A man stepped forward with a broad smile. Ray recognized him–Julian Rolland from Building 15, in his thirties with a somewhat stocky build.

So, he was the one they’d chosen as their spokesman.

Ray gave a faint smile. “I’m here. Shall we begin, then?”

“Ray, we’d like to make you our leader,” Julian said. “We’ll follow whatever you decide. But with authority comes responsibility -the wellbeing of everyone here will rest on your shoulders.” He then turned to the crowd. “Everyone, let’s hear it! From today on, we have someone to look out for us.”
