Surviving the Apocalypse with my Multiplier System novel Chapter 273

Rayne poured Sam a large handful. He didn't even wait for her to take a step back before placing the first piece into his mouth.

He chose a piece of chocolate first and waited for it to fully melt in his mouth before picking up the next piece.

Rayne smiled and turned to look at the others, "Would anyone else like a handful of trail mix?"

Everyone in the room immediately nodded their head. Some people even stood up and approached her.

"I do!"

"No, give it to me first!"

"I was here first, move!"

The bag of trail mix caused a lot of commotion, flustering Rayne.

Julian noticed this and walked over, "There's enough for everyone. Please don't fight! We'll walk over to everyone!"

His loud voice quieted everyone down. Rayne pretended to pull out another bag of trail mix from her backpack and handed it to Julian to help pass out.

While they treated everyone, they took the opportunity to introduce themselves. Most of the people brushed them off, only caring about receiving the food, but a few greeted them back and even thanked them for the treat.

Once Rayne and Julian finished passing out the trail mix, they walked over to Sam and another friendly woman nearby.

"Is it good?" asked Rayne with a smile.

Sam looked a lot more cheerful after eating and nodded his head a few times. Rayne wanted to ask him if his parents were around, but felt that it was too personal a question.

She looked around the room, watching everyone quietly eating the trail mix.

Hopefully, they'll be more open to chatting after they've finished eating.

Just as she was about to start a conversation with the nearby woman, she heard gunshots in the distance.

Julian quickly stood up, standing in front of Rayne. He looked out of the window to try to make out what was going on outside.

The doors to the police station flung open, "There's an attack! Everyone hide! There are so many of them! They all have weapons!"

A man ran around, frantically warning everyone inside of what was happening.

Edith finally showed up with a troubled expression, "Where are they coming from? What is their goal?"

The frantic man dropped to the ground in front of her, "We couldn't see too much due to the darkness, but there were many cars. They've smashed all of the windows and doors of the stores in the shopping plaza!"

Edith looked around, noticing everyone's frightened gaze locked onto her.

"Hopefully, they'll loot what they want and leave. Everyone, stay quiet and don't make any unnecessary movements!"

After her order went out, the police station turned eerily quiet. The atmosphere inside was suffocating as everyone held their breath.

One of the older women who was sitting in the lobby with Rayne began clutching at her chest. Her eyes watered as she tried to hold back her panic.

Rayne carefully walked over and handed the woman a water bottle from her backpack. frёeweɓηovel_coɱ

"It'll be okay, just try to take deep breaths," she whispered.

The elderly woman nodded and began to take long, deep breaths following Rayne's advice. After a few minutes, she was able to calm herself enough to where she was no longer clutching her chest.
