Soon, they crossed the city and reached the next one.
Ray and Greg led the way, with Ray's won forming one group behind him and the survivors tentatively following Greg, their expressions uncertain.
"Let's settle here tonight." Ray casually comnted as he looked at the dawn of the sun and they soon settled in the apartnts.
"Boss, they don't seem honest at all," Rex grumbled to Greg.
The refugees had joined them without much ceremony, and it was clear so had ulterior motives.
"You're right," Greg said, frowning as he scrutinised the refugees.
He could clearly see so among them who were less interested in settling in and more focused on their own agendas.
"What happened?" Ray approached Greg, sensing sothing was amiss.
"Boss, so 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 comnted casually. He still rembered 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 seed to have gained so 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 imdiately.
But it seed 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 ti is right. Your na is Rex, right?"
"Yes," Rex said with an excited expression.
"Not bad. You have so potential," Ray comnted before walking away. His won 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.
Sotis, death is a gift that people might never get.
Ray returned and went to the new won. Seeing new faces was always refreshing.
"I will be honest with you," he began, "if you're willing to be with , 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 cos 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 ti?" one of the hesitating girls asked.
"Sure," Ray shrugged casually. "Rember, I won't hold grudges. It doesn't matter if you choose not to be with ."
After saying this, he took the ten won 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 won.
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 won pressed their ears to the door, blushing.
At that mont, 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 lted, ice becos 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, nurous 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 nurous 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 pumlling 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.
