Surviving the Apocalypse with my Multiplier System

Chapter 189 - 189: Disease Spreads

Walking over to the main lobby building, he began asking around if anyone had seen a group of people matching Ace's description.

Unfortunately for Cal, most of the people refused to answer him, while others swore they'd seen them but couldn't remember where.

The man resembled Ace but was incredibly pale and sallow.

Ace was in and out of consciousness but heard Cal's voice. He tried opening his eyes to look, but found the task too difficult.

Cal waited for any response but didn't get one, even after a few minutes of waiting. He bent down to take a closer look.

Sure enough, the man on the bed was the Ace he'd been looking for this whole time.

"That means these men are part of his team," Cal said, looking around at the nearby bunks.

Each one of the men looked worse than the previous. Cal wasn't sure how to help them either. He dug around in his duffel bag and found a small bottle of expired painkillers that he'd brought in case he got a headache.

"I guess it's better than nothing, right? But how do I get him to swallow it?" mumbled Cal, holding the small white pill.

After thinking about it, he decided to simply pop the pill into Ace's mouth. The rest, Ace would have to figure out.

Ace felt someone pry something into his mouth as his body was burning alive. He wasn't conscious enough to know what it was, but after a few seconds, he felt a very bitter taste spread through his mouth.

His mouth was a bit dry from not having water these past few days, so the pill took a long time to dissolve, subjecting him to the bitter taste for a long time.

Cal watched and waited, expecting to see some kind of miracle. But after ten minutes of waiting, there were still no signs of recovery from Ace.

Cal scratched his head. "Well, I guess I'll go back and report to boss Dillon now," he said and turned to leave the disease-infested building.
