I Spread my Genes to Level Up in the Apocalypse

Soon, they crossed the city and reached the next one.

Ray and Greg led the way, with Ray's women forming one group behind him and the survivors tentatively following Greg, their expressions uncertain.

"Let's settle here tonight." Ray casually commented as he looked at the dawn of the sun and they soon settled in the apartments.

"Boss, they don't seem honest at all," Rex grumbled to Greg.

The refugees had joined them without much ceremony, and it was clear some had ulterior motives.

"You're right," Greg said, frowning as he scrutinised the refugees.

He could clearly see some among them who were less interested in settling in and more focused on their own agendas.

"What happened?" Ray approached Greg, sensing something was amiss.

"Boss, some of these refugees don't seem to have good intentions," Greg explained, patting Rex's shoulder. "Rex noticed it too."

"Ahem," Rex coughed slightly, adding emphasis to Greg's concerns.

"Not bad," Ray commented casually. He still remembered this guy—he was the one who complained with a slightly provocative tone previously, but he didn't mind such a small thing.

If he started to care about every minor issue, he would truly be narrow minded. And Ray was indeed at fault, even though Rex's intention was a little provocative.

Besides, Rex seemed to have gained some understanding of the situation by now.

"Thank God," Rex felt relieved when he heard Ray's praise.

Ray was right; after witnessing him slaughter the military, Rex was truly scared, especially when those bastards sold him out almost immediately.

But it seemed that Ray wasn't narrow-minded and had already forgiven him.

Rex saw this as a chance to curry favour and rise above those who had betrayed him.

"But you don't have to worry about those people. I will take care of them when the time is right. Your name is Rex, right?"

"Yes," Rex said with an excited expression.

"Not bad. You have some potential," Ray commented before walking away. His women were getting lonely, and he needed to attend to them.

As for these new people, if they dared to pull a stunt on him, his undead would take care of them.

He also planned to work them to death once they returned to the base if they dare to do so.

Sometimes, death is a gift that people might never get.

Ray returned and went to the new women. Seeing new faces was always refreshing.

"I will be honest with you," he began, "if you're willing to be with me, I will provide you with all the protection you need. If not, you will return to those people."

Ray spoke lightly, telling the girls the truth: nothing in this world comes for free.

If they wanted to live under his protection and do things for free, they had to be honest about their willingness.

It was better to be upfront rather than letting them believe in a free ride.

As expected, almost all the girls hesitated, but ten stepped forward, agreeing readily.

"Can you give us time?" one of the hesitating girls asked.

"Sure," Ray shrugged casually. "Remember, I won't hold grudges. It doesn't matter if you choose not to be with me."

After saying this, he took the ten women and walked away.

The others were still hesitating. If they followed Ray, they would undoubtedly be shown luxury and protection, while if they left, they would have to live an ordinary life.

Not many could resist the temptation of a better life.

Ray entered his room with the ten women.

Vanessa and Freya popped their heads out of the door.

"Are they going to do it?" Freya muttered with a pout. She wanted to experience the feeling but, looking at her bloated belly, she couldn't.

There was already maternal love in her eyes as she hugged her own belly. "My baby, Ray and my own symbol."

She smiled dreamily, and Vanessa's eyes also softened as she looked at her own belly. Both women pressed their ears to the door, blushing.

At that moment, four other girls appeared.

"What are you two doing here?" Evelyn asked.

"What do you think?" Vanessa responded with a poker face. "Shouldn't you be making water? Why are you here?"

"I got bored," Evelyn said with a yawn, sticking her own ear to the door. Yuna, Daisy, and Kate also followed suit.

For ordinary people, drinking water was nearly impossible due to the mutation and radiation.

However, Ice Magic could solve the problem.

When melted, ice becomes the purest form of water and is definitely drinkable.

This is how the issue was resolved, though there had been no sightings of a Water Magic Awakener, who could have made the solution even easier.

As they heard the moans coming from the room, numerous people began sneaking out of the camp all at once on the other side. There were about forty individuals, all cloaked and hiding their figures.

"Are we really going to take the food and run away from those monsters?"

"Hmph, they are nothing. I'm also an Awakener."

"You're just an E-class Awakener with body-strengthening abilities. What can you even do?"

"You..."

"It doesn't matter how strong he is. Could that monster Ray chase us to the ends of the world? We'll take the food and run far away."

"Hahaha, Ray being kind to us? What a joke. Did he really think we would obediently follow his orders..."

Before he could speak further, his eyes widened with horror.

"Attack, Nya!" They saw a cat covered in eerie darkness slowly floating in the air, accompanied by numerous undead dogs and humans.

"Run!" The Body-strengthening Awakener tried to flee, but a jab to his face knocked him unconscious almost instantly.

He was then pummelling with punches and kicks from the undead until his face was swollen and his bones broke one by one.

A complete silence prevailed in the surroundings.

"Would you not beat us if we surrendered?"

"What do you think, nya?" Kikyo smirked.

Ahhhhh—

The screams of people rang throughout the night.
