I Spread my Genes to Level Up in the Apocalypse

Chapter 24: Evelyn and Vanessa

"Hmm, there should be some medicine around here right?" Ray muttered with a frown, barely walking into the room.

However, when he got to the room, he felt a chill in his heart.

There were cages, cages which are meant to imprison animals, however, instead, what was there were girls from younger ones to even older ones, completely bound with a miserable expression on their face.

"It's only been a few days since the apocalypse and the condition had worsened so much that people have given up their humanity?"

Ray could only sigh.

After all, this was King, who was a maniac and a crazy person.

Actually, he had investigated his case before, and in that case, Ray had found that King was actually from a good family, but from his childhood, he was like a maniac full of evil ideas.

When he was 10 years old, he was already stealing things, and when he got to 18, he was already committing murders.

After that point, all he dabbled in was crimes, stacking up to give him at least 100 life sentences.

This type of person would obviously adapt the fastest in an apocalypse.

Ray waited for three days after the apocalypse started. When he ran out of food, only then did he dare to risk his life to search for more food.

Ray looked at the vacant eyes of most of the girls with a sigh. He walked up to the cages and started to free them one by one.

Because he found that his body had already recovered from the internal bleeding as if it never happened.

"Six times physique is already this terrifying? I wonder if I can increase more by spreading my genes..."

Ray's eyes glinted thoughtfully.

One of the women, who seemed to be dehydrated with her body skinny and skimpy, looked at Ray with vacant eyes.

"Please kill me…" she murmured, "that devil didn't give me anything. Only if I sleep with him would he give me something."

Ray became silent, just deeply looking at her.

"Hmm, do you really wanna die?" he uttered.

"Yes-"

The woman's eyes widened as Ray slowly brought his machete to her neck.

Her eyes widened, and her pupil flickered.

Just as Ray was about to swung it....

"Should I really die? But I don't wanna die, I don't wanna die…" This sentence seemed to echo in her mind, and her survival instinct kicked in.

"Stop, I don't wanna die."

She spoke loudly.

Ray stopped his hand. The machete was just 1 cm away from separating her neck.

"If you had spoken any later, you would have died." Ray said calmly.

The woman laid on the ground, staring at the ceiling with a blank stare.

"I can't do it." She sobbed.

"Killing yourself isn't easy, however, living in this world is even harder." Ray looked at the other girl who was completely unresponsive and seemed to be completely dead, even when they saw this scene.

"Do you guys wanna die as well?"

Ray roared.

The girls shook their heads one by one with hurried movement.

Ray looked at the girls with a frown now. Although he had saved them, what could they do, and where would he even get the supplies from to sustain them all?

This wasn't the peaceful times, but the Apocalypse. Food was a very important material, and feeding all wouldn't be possible.

"Are there any Awakeners here by chance?" Ray asked, not expecting anything.

"What's an awakener?" The skinny woman had a confused look.

"Oh right," Ray thoughtfully nodded, "if you had killed any undead before and felt some strange changes in your body?"

Silence!

There was silence for a moment, with no girl talking before the skinny woman tentatively raised her hand.

"I… I seem to control metal."

Ray's eyes brightened when he heard this. "Good, what is your name?"

"Evelyn."

"I see."

He truly didn't expect that anyone would be awakened here. His eyes towards Evelyn turned gentle and kind, completely different from his cold face.

Evelyn was a little surprised when she saw the sudden change in Ray, with her mind clouded in confusion.

Then Ray looked around, and another girl also raised her hand.

She was a girl who seemed to be relatively young around 20, her hair was dyed pink, and for some reason, Ray felt like he had seen her before.

"Are you a social influencer or something?" Ray frowned.

"Eh, yes. I have 1 million followers."

"Welp, now most of them are probably dead." he mumbled.

"Huh?"

"Forget it, what's your name?"

"My name is Vanessa."

"Vanessa huh…" Ray muttered, "what kind of ability do you have?"

"I, I don't know…" Vanessa said with a frown.

"I was captured by that big guy and his subordinate just yesterday while I was hiding in my villa. As for how I knew I was awakened, I killed an undead, my mom, and felt strange changes in my body but couldn't pinpoint what it was."

Her voice seemed to choke, and her whites were red when she uttered "mom" with a completely terrified face as if she was still recalling the previous things.

Ray gently patted her back with a sigh, "it's fine."

"Thank… thank you." Vanessa leaned to his shoulder with tears in her eyes and a pitiful face.

He didn't talk much, just patting her head for a little.

"Tell me, the strange thing you felt?" after she calmed a bit, Ray asked.

"Well, I think there is a strange energy in me which I can move at will."

"Hmm?" Ray frowned, "can you tell what that strange energy does?"

"It… it seems to be… I don't know." Vanessa shook her head.

"Can you use it right now?"

"Yes."

With that said, Vanessa closed her eyes and almost in an instant touched the cage.

The moment she touched, the cage started to wither in just moments, and the next moment a glowing light appeared, shining in a blinding light.

Even Ray had to momentarily close his eyes. The next moment he looked, the cage had already become dust, and a green pill was on the ground.
