Mag-log inAfter having thoroughly "harvested" his tender batch of beauties, Ray returned to Guillory City.He still needed to keep watch on that phone.The Valor Military Base would never simply make a call, issue a threat, and then leave it at that. They would definitely come looking for him.Unless… that so-called Lieutenant Colonel Shay wasn't from the military at all, and had simply fabricated the identity to intimidate him. If Ray panicked and handed over his supplies, then she—or whoever was behind it—would profit immensely.That was actually quite possible.For example, if that person's ability involved controlling satellites, they could easily obtain Ray's information, even "observe" his battle with Channing and the others. That would allow them to fabricate details convincingly and better impersonate a military officer while intimidating him.Heh. Maybe this "Lieutenant Colonel Shay" was just some middle-aged man scratching his foot somewhere.Ray decided to continue monitoring f
Besides, sending people into Guillory City was effectively an invasion of someone else's territory. Getting chopped down for it—wasn't that only normal?If Bill and the others were sent back intact, it would instead make Ray look weak. Someone had already invaded your territory, and you only expelled them? That was far too soft.Once you showed weakness, others would assume you were easy to bully.That principle applied everywhere.Bill quickly nodded, gratitude written all over his face. "Ray, thanks for the advice. I'll head back now. I kind of miss my wife anyway.""Go," Ray said, already wishing he would leave sooner rather than later.Bill agreed and turned to go. After a few steps, however, he suddenly stopped, looking back. "Ray… what about your side effects?"'What the hell— No, I've changed my mind. I really should silence you,' Ray thought.Seeing Ray's expression darken, Bill froze for a moment, then slapped his own forehead. Right… Ray was from this settlement. If t
Ray's standards had become quite high.Among the entire ice-hut settlement, the only woman who truly caught his eye was Leah—the foreign beauty. The rest simply didn't measure up.But there was a problem.Ray was, at least, a man of principles. He never forced anyone in matters like this. Everything he did was transactional. Unfortunately, these people had been too well protected by Principal Rucker. Even though they now had some awareness of danger, it was impossible for their mindset to change overnight.So trying to use resources to "buy" the foreign beauty into bed? Forget it. He might as well maintain his current image—strong, distant, and superior.His thinking was solid, but he had forgotten one person—or rather, underestimated how loose-lipped that person was."Bad news! Ray!" Bill snapped out of his shock and rushed over, shouting loudly. "You absorbed a lot of abilities—your side effects are definitely going to be intense!"Side effects?Everyone froze and turned to l
Most importantly, her figure was stunningly impressive.Wilson and his group were already in complete control of the situation, so their attention immediately shifted when they saw it. And what they saw was—astonishingly—a mermaid. And not just any mermaid, but a foreign beauty at that.One by one, their expressions turned lewd and greedy.They had just absorbed new abilities, and their desires were already surging. Now, out of nowhere, such a stunning woman appeared—blonde, foreign, and with a body so hot it was impossible to ignore. How could they possibly restrain themselves?"Haha! That foreign girl is mine!" Wilson laughed loudly, his greed impossible to conceal. "I've always wanted to try a foreign woman—I never thought that even after the apocalypse, I'd get the chance to ride a foreign mare!"Since the captain had spoken, who would dare compete? The others could only hope he wouldn't take her all for himself and at least leave them a taste.Leah froze for a moment, then h
Wilson and his group had originally come here to "farm and grow stronger." In their eyes, every ability user was prey. But since they had just arrived and didn't understand the situation, they hadn't acted recklessly—what if they kicked an iron plate?They were never the kind to show mercy.During that short period, Wilson hadn't been idle either. He had been gathering information and forming his judgment.This settlement wasn't strong.At least, without Principal Rucker, it was very weak. They had been hiding along the coast all this time, never absorbing abilities to strengthen themselves, never facing real battles with other ability users. Their combat experience was severely lacking.At his command, all five of his subordinates revealed excited, savage grins.Kill, kill, kill—how satisfying!They loved missions like this. Not only could they grow stronger, but they could also enjoy themselves thoroughly.The apocalypse… was truly great.Bill was startled and quickly steppe
Bill was quite enthusiastic. It was probably just too rare, now, to run into old friends or former classmates. He kept sighing to Ray."When the disaster first started, I was still in contact with Glen and the others. But later, the signal cut off, and we lost touch completely. I don't even know if they're still alive."Then, his tone turned hopeful again. "Glen is in Pelham Bay. That place shouldn't be freezing, right?"Ray could only look at him speechlessly.Let alone Pelham Bay—even the equator wasn't warm anymore. This was a global freezing catastrophe.Bill was being far too optimistic."Ah—!"At that moment, a woman's scream came from outside, followed by chaotic shouting."Something's happened?" Bill quickly grabbed Ray and rushed out of the ice hut.Outside, the commotion was intense.The cause was simple: one of Wilson's subordinates had suffered a surge of side effects. He went looking for a woman to relieve it, promising food or other supplies in exchange. But thi
"I don't know if it's because I hurt myself too many times, but the ability I awakened turned out to be rapid regeneration. I tested it— even if my heart is stabbed through, it can still heal. But the injuries I suffered before gaining this power… those will never recover. Tell me, isn't that ridicu
Heh—of course. Number 114 didn't know that Ray possessed a god-tier ability like spatial perception!It has no direct killing power, but in the current world—especially at night—it surpasses every other divine skill.Ray continued his assault.Number 114 ran with remarkable technique. She knew sh
After absorbing Number 114's ability, Ray felt a massive surge in power once again.The maximum size of his spatial portal had now reached 70 by 70 meters, though in terms of growth, it still fell short of the boost he had gained from absorbing Number 9—about five meters less—indicating that the am
Before the heavy fog could close in, Ray and his girls returned to the estate.The hovercraft was far too conspicuous, and its thunderous noise made it impossible to miss.Ray opened the door and stepped inside, activating his spatial perception at once. He was wary of someone breaking in and laun
