Apocalypse King: Recruiting S-Tier Beauties With My Ruler System Chapter 20: The Lunar Beast!?

I stepped back, the flash of white passing my eyes, before a small jingle sounded followed by sothing soft rubbing against leg.

"Prrrr... Prrrr..."

The threat turned out to be the small cat from earlier.

It's dirty body covered in gri and dirt, but the little thing seed quite happy to nudge against ...

Sohow, its presence was quite soothing.

Maybe it wasn't the best idea...

However, I reached out and brushed the whispers on its cheeks. The small cat gazed at with its blue eyes as if thinking, deciding if I was soone it could trust.

"Are you hungry little guy?"

"ow!"

Instantly, after I offered it so food, a blue screen appeared in my eyes, stunning completely as it started scratching against the wall. For a mont, I doubted my eyes because it was so bizarre...

[Recruitnt Available.]

[Subject: Unnad Ragdoll (S-Tier)]

[Press to Confirm.]

'This filthy rat... is an S-Tier?'

I almost coughed blood at this new information.

The little guy seed to be male, tilting its fluffy little head, wing at .

'Well, I did offer it so food...'

To make this cat my partner, what could I expect from this cat except needing to feed and take care of its waste?

"ow!"

But that lovely call caught my attention. Lost in the cat's beady eyes. Trapped in this grey, wet and depressive world all alone.

'What if I leave the cat here?'

There isn't a kind old lady around to feed him or help take care of him. I didn't have a pet when growing up, but I've always loved cats and dogs.

"If you co we , you have to behave..."

[Do you want to recruit Ragdoll (S-Tier)?]

"Ha..."

Behind , the low grunts of zombies echoed, likely at a further distance than I thought because, after my evolution, my hearing beca much stronger.

It wasn't all benefits, though.

My sense of sll also improved, and the scent of death and other foul city scents made my stomach churn with today's breakfast...

"Co here, do you have a na?"

"???"

The cat turned away, looking around, making feel stupid, before it slowly, cautiously approached with a sniff.

*Sniff* *Sniff*

"ow..."

The small grey cat looked a little wild—his long ears flickered as I instinctively rubbed under his chin.

A low, groaning purr vibrated as we t eyes.

"Wang Yin..."

At first, I couldn't focus on all the blue pop-ups in my vision, and Yin didn't like it when I swiped the air and hissed. So, I started reading them in my mind and noticed sothing bizarre.

His affection reached the maximum and gave a strange title!

Yin's eyes seed to flicker with a silver light as he suddenly jumped onto my shoulder... and brushed up against my face...

Although he was a little dirty, sohow it didn't bother and sothing else took by surprise. I couldn't suddenly speak cat language, but I could sense his emotions, desires, and the subtle movents now contained a slight aning.

"You want to eat sothing good?"

"Miao!"

'Huh—why is it suddenly owing in Chinese?"

Since my newly found cat companion happily kneading my shoulder muscles. I checked my current limit and realised I couldn't collect more animals like this.

• My owner died, and I am hungry.

• A strange human picked up—he slled good and offered food. But will he die too? I hope not...

"Damn... there are so many amazing skills!"

I couldn't help but drool at these skills.

So of them really would help grow and survive in this hell. Yet, I could only choose one for now, and the most useful one was clearly right in front of my face.

[You Gained Danger Sense Level 1]

However, I wasn't sure how it would reveal itself to because there wasn't any small text written besides the skill when I focused on it.

"Let's go, Yin."

With all my business finished, the painful cramps in my muscles from reaching rank three and then learning all the new skills thanks to Yin made struggle to walk...

Though I've suffered thigh cramps and groin cramps before and almost cried. The cramps from the upgrades felt random, even when I tried to prepare my mind. It felt like they chose parts I couldn't even think of...

'I need to work on my Kegels...'

***

Not long after recruiting Yin, I started jogging to warm up my dull muscles, avoiding any combat because of the lingering aches and cramps. Through the dark and winding back streets, I finally reached the location.

But what I found made want to shout. A group of n held baseball bats and machete blades towards Shen Yifei and Jiang Roulan...

And of course, the fat waste Wang Yun was their hostage.

Jiang Roulan looked awkward.

It seed like she was trying to negotiate with the five n wearing black clothes that covered their entire bodies and faces.

'What to do...'

I could feel a slight twang of pain in the back of my head, along with the distant groaning of zombies coming closer. At that mont, a plan ca into my mind as I crouched beside a black sedan.

"Yin... shall we lure so bait, so we can fish?"

"ow?!" (Fish?!)

Before I could turn back, a sudden tingle shocked my back, and instinctively, I lifted my spear and lunged forward...

Woosh!

I struck the empty air while breathing faster... even my heartbeat quickened.

Luckily, none of the humans noticed.

That's when I noticed that Mu Qinglan was also hiding behind a car, and she was quickly sneaking towards . The fact they hadn't caught her was likely because of her superior abilities.

'The sudden mont of instinctive fear... was it because she bit in the past?'

I noticed her eyes starting to turn red.

The outer rings looked crimson from this distance, but what amazed more was that I could see them from here. It was at least 500 tres, but I could see Qinglan as if she stood right in front of .

"..."

"..."

When she reached the car beside , the zombies also started coming faster, in a larger group because I ran around them on purpose earlier.

Not to test my new speed and physique but to clear the route back ho.

I curled my lips into a smirk.

Mu Qinglan just stared at with a confused expression, tilting her head.

"Qinglan. I am going to lure the zombies. Can you distract those humans and get so ti to bring them closer?"

The mont I asked, my spine filled with a cold chill.

Because of the terrifyingly twisted smile on her face as she gazed at with glowing red eyes and the way her cheeks blushed at this request.

"It's my pleasure, John."

And with that, she shifted closer to , sniffing my neck for a mont as her hand pressed against my chest. A sense of danger pricked the back of my mind as this predator assessed for her next al!

"Don't die."

With a fleeting smile, she vanished from my view... a waft of her natural scent and perfu lingered in her absence.

"Why does her zombie phase make her so flirtatious...?!"
