I Spread my Genes to Level Up in the Apocalypse

Nothing could stop Ray\'s path.

Even if there was a level one undead, it still couldn\'t withstand one strike from Ray.

Just like that, they left the area completely and headed towards the Awakeners Association, which was two cities away from them.

"Will Ray really be fine?" Evelyn said tentatively, her expression filled with worry as she looked at the fleeting backs of the three.

"I don\'t know, but we should trust Ray," Vanessa said with a sigh, her hand touching her belly with maternal love in her eyes.

"Yes, we should trust Ray. Besides, we have an important duty given by Ray as well."

"Hmm, you are right." Grace slightly extended her hand, and the temperature immediately became colder.

Evelyn wasn\'t to be outdone; five long knives, exactly like the one Ray carried, rotated around her.

Her power was very practical and on par with Ray\'s B-class necromancer skill.

However, because she was mostly silent, she often faded into the background.

"Have you prepared the guns?" she asked lightly.

"Yes," Vanessa replied, charging the pistol by moving the slide to the rear of the Glock-22 and letting it slam shut.

The clicking noise of the metal was very satisfying to the ears.

"We must absolutely protect our home and not let a single human enter our building."

The six women—Vanessa, Evelyn, Freya, Grace, Daisy, and Kate—nodded their heads with fierce determination.

Of course they were not alone, the sixty nine women also prepared fire-arms that Ray had distributed to them.

Although they couldn\'t kill the undead due to the weakening effects of the mutation, they could still deal with people with evil intentions.

In this way, Ray had built a small army.

While it was somewhat untrained, as the saying goes, even a child can kill a fierce animal as long as they have a gun in hand.

The journey was uneventful for Ray; there were no Level Two undead, and for Level One, Ray killed them mercilessly and bound them using his necromancy skill.

There were definitely survivors in some of these places.

Ray secretly investigated their camps, and if he deemed them a threat, he would eliminate the stronger ones without hesitation.

He couldn\'t afford to leave such threats near his women and preferred to deal with them directly.

Soon, the three had left their own city and reached the other city.

By the way, Ray went back into the apartment to see the three brothers he had previously killed and bind them to his necromancer skill again.

He almost forgot about them because their abilities might be useful to him in the future.

"Wakey," Ray muttered these embarrassing words in his mind, and immediately an eerie darkness seemed to cause any living being to feel a chill permeate the surrounding.

"Ray! What is this!" Gina shouted with a scared expression and hugged Ray tightly.

"Don\'t worry," Ray grinned, especially when he felt the soft sensation wrapping around his arms.

Melissa didn\'t say anything, but she grew closer towards him while also leaning towards him with a weary expression.

"Truly a cat."

Ray had always felt this way, especially since he had once owned a red cat that he grew up with.

Unfortunately, it died, and he couldn\'t bring himself to get another one due to his debt.

Even without the debt, he was afraid to buy another pet, fearing he might not handle it if it also died.

He had become so attached to the red cat, and her death had hit him hard. He cried for a day and was depressed for a year.

So, he was naturally not that cruel to Melissa.

As the three brothers appeared in front of him, their skins covered in eerie darkness, Ray wondered,

"Can they use the Awakened skills they previously had while living?"

"Go," Ray commanded lightly.

The three brothers followed his command lifelessly, as if they were puppets being pulled by invisible strings.

"This… this…" Gina was shocked to her core. "What is this, Ray?"

"This is my skill," Ray chuckled.

Gina remained stunned.

Initially, she had thought Ray had awakened a body-related skill, presumably Body Strengthening, which would explain his inhumane strength.

This was the consensus among all the girls present, as Ray had never shown them his summons before.

"Shh," Ray said with a smile.

"Mhm," Gina replied.

Although she was still in shock, she felt a warm sense of reassurance.

If Ray truly only had a mere E-class skill, protecting them all might have seemed impossible.

But now that she knew Ray was even more powerful, she felt a renewed sense of safety.

She truly felt at ease.

The one with a despair-filled expression was Melissa, who was tightly clutching Ray\'s sleeves.

"Are you okay, Melissa?" Ray asked with a mysterious smile.

"Ye… yes," Melissa replied nervously.

She saw no hope of escaping from Ray now that he had demonstrated such power.

If he could command the dead, how terrifying would it be to make an army of them?

It was impossible for her to not have any thought of escape, especially since she was loyal to her leader, Seraphine.

But now, Melissa saw no way out.

Ray could guess some of her thoughts and felt a deep sense of satisfaction.

He looked at his dead summons, and to his absolute shock, he saw that almost half of his mutation energy had disappeared.

Alongside this, a small ball of water had condensed, rotating at a terrifying speed.

A level one undead was roaming at least a kilometre away from them.

The rotating ball of water immediately appeared in front of the undead as if it had teleported and smashed into it.

Boom!

"Can I even use the skills that the Awakened had in their life?" Ray\'s eyes brightened with excitement especially seeing the crushed body of the undead.
