Apocalypse King: Recruiting S-Tier Beauties With My Ruler System

The troops rushed around me in awe of the new wall. Not only did I spend resources to upgrade the wall, but roads and the surrounding area also got a nice revamp. "Well, this strange material is a little bouncy..."

[Lazmat is a compound created using the properties of concrete and tarmac. It is a mixture of rubber, cement, stone and metal.]

'Ah... so it's some sort of futuristic material?'

I didn't know why it had such a weird name, but the roads were smooth, and the walls were sturdy. Not only did it feel comfortable to walk on, but the jeeps looked more stable while driving through the roads. "Phew..."

"All combat personel report to the forward base, I repeat all combat personal report to the front gate. All non-combatant personnel report to the inner base and assist in defensive procedures. I repeat all non-combatant personnel report to the inner base and assist in defensive procedures."

The loudspeakers blared, a female voice that sounded like Jiang Siwan's, echoed throughout.

Thankfully, the tinge of fear that lingered vanished, and she sounded confident and prepared for the battle that would occur in a little over a day.

"Now then... Jiang Mei and the others, where are you."

With a tap, the three-dimensional map appeared from my wrist, but locating who I wanted became difficult after recruiting over two hundred of the Jiang Soldiers. "It's good that their colours are based on Affection and Loyalty..." Members below S-Tier were limited to Loyalty ++, and beyond that, I would just gain bonus ZKP instead.

Too many women would spoil everything... even a superhuman had limits.

"I can't multiply my penis, or grow tentacles or a tail... not that I'd want to, haha." The thought made my spine tingle, even though it was a hot, sweltering day.

Liang Qiu, Zhou Xue and Liang Mei seemed to have gathered in their room in the mansion to the south of the Main manor. The other girls, Mu Qinglan, Shen Yifei, Tang Wei, Deng Hua, and Chen Xun, were in the main manor. "Oh? They suddenly started moving away fast, probably in a car."

"Alright... I guess I'll go see Liang Mei first."

I didn't want to waste too much time, so I headed to the mansion with the [Genetic Rewrite Serum: Cardio Type-R] inside my inventory, though her injection would last five days. "I should probably use the serum..."

[Affirmative] Enjoy the story by reading on M|V|LE%MPYR.

[The Serum will grant the user the ability to run faster and longer than the average human, and the body will be able to endure more physical stress and strain.]

'So the perfect thing to use on Liang Mei to make her stronger...'

[Her heart will increase in size, a side effect will improve lungs, blood flow and overall health whilst curing her genetic defects while boosting Liang Mei's Stage and Tier.]

With a spring in my step, my pace doubled as I jogged to the main mansion.

A car might have saved time, but I needed the time to think more deeply, to consider things that would go wrong and...

"Will there be side effects?"

[Chance of mutation: 25%]

"I see..."

There could never be a simple cure or fix, reminding me of when Mu Qinglan took the unfinished cure and became a living dead, and not too long later, became a mutant.

While rushing faster and faster, the worry grew in my chest.

What would happen to Liang Mei? Would she become a monster?

I didn't have long to think about it, because soon enough I stood outside the mansion, a large three-story building that looked similar to the main manor, but less grandiose.

Outside, there were fewer soldiers, likely due to Jiang Siwan's call earlier, but the reserve soldiers opened the door immediately after seeing me; that family meal must have been more useful than I thought.

Inside the mansion was a lot emptier than I expected. I didn't expect the place to be packed with people and soldiers, but the lack of noise and activity surprised me.

"Maybe they were told to keep quiet?"

The walls were thick, and the windows were closed and covered by thick curtains and bars. The lights were off, and glow-in-the-dark markings on the walls guided my path. "This is a lot more than I expected..."

I didn't expect the Jiang Family to be so prepared for an attack. "Maybe the old man knew that something might happen?"

I couldn't help but feel impressed by the level of preparation, to modify the mansions while enduring the early attacks and also building the wall at the entrance of the base. It was almost as if the old man were a genius, a prodigy, but he didn't show such an impressive aura or strength.

"Or maybe he's just a lucky old bastard."

I couldn't help but sigh and head upstairs to Liang Mei's room. Three girls were chatting inside.

"Liang Qiu what's going on with you, Deng Hua and Chen Xun?" Zhou Xue's charming voice echoed through the open door, her tone teasing and playful. "Don't think we didn't notice how close you've been with the two of them."

"Ah... well, I-I'm not sure what to say." Liang Qiu's voice was raspy and strong, her words slow and hesitant.

Meanwhile, Liang Mei sat on the bed, kicking her legs while watching the pair in the mirror; she looked quite excited and amused by the topic of conversation.

"Hmm~? You're not sure what to say?"

Zhou Xue leaned forward and poked her cheeks, "you're so cute, Qiu, but you're a little too outrageous, two men at once? I didn't expect that from a girl like you."

"it's not like that...!" Liang Qiu blushed and pushed the older girl's hands away. "We just... it just happened, I didn't plan for it or anything."

"Ah, I see, so it wasn't intentional, but now that it's done you've accepted it. But to think you slept with them both at the same time, tsk tsk."

I couldn't help but stare at Liang Mei's huge eyes; they sparkled like gemstones at the gossip.

Suddenly, Zhou Xue snapped towards me. "Who's there!?"

"Ah, relax, it's just me."

I stepped through the open door, and the girls turned to face me. Zhou Xue's eyes narrowed as she stared at me, her expression cold at first, but then she turned away with a strange look, her cheeks red. "Leader..."

"A-Ah... Leader!" Liang Qiu's low voice sounded out as she gave me a nod. "W-What are you doing here?"

"I came to speak with your Liang Mei, but I can come back later." I looked at Zhou Xue, who seemed to want to ask me something, but the atmosphere didn't seem right for me to talk about her situation with others.

"N-No, we're about to head out, the others are waiting for us."

Liang Qiu smiled at me, before lowering her gaze, the blush on her cheeks quite amusing, but I worried about those two boys... both slept with the same woman.

Did they get drunk?

"Well, just make sure you keep safe."

Zhou Xue looked at me as she passed by, her eyes flicked back to Liang Mei before she pushed closer to me and whispered into my ear with a hushed voice.

"Don't be too rough." She blew hot air against my neck before skipping away, her boots clacking against the floor into the distance as she called out in a big voice.

"Enjoy yourself Mei-Mei!"

Liang Qiu followed behind her, but her eyes kept flicking to me and then away, her face turning bright red as she rushed out the door and down the hall.

"W-Wait, Xue!"

The pair left, and I finally focused on Liang Mei, who covered her face while kicking her legs. Her fingers, red from the gaps between them, made a cute sound like humming as she peeked through her fingers.

How can someone be so cute?

"Liang Mei?"

I called out to her.

Her shoulders bounced as she shifted, peeking again. "L-Leader?"

"What's wrong?"

"A-Ah..." Her cheeks looked red, and although cliché, it would help, so I pretended to be concerned that she was sick.

"Are you sick!?"

With a tap, my body reached her bed and slipped between her hands as she lowered her guard. The soft heat of her skin spread across my palm, and her eyes grew wide as she stared at me.

"Y-You're so close... Leader..."

Her voice was quiet, almost a whisper, and the sweet scent of her breath made me feel a little dizzy.

"Really, but you looked so hot, are you sick?"

"N-No! I am..."

"Hmm?" Teasing Liang Mei was a little too addictive sometimes, like a sheep, other times, like a little rabbit. I wanted to see her smile, but also squirm a little.

"Leader... I am fine, thank you."

She placed her hand on top of mine and held it tightly.

"Are you sure?"

I gripped her hand and stroked her delicate knuckles, her eyes wide as she stared up at me.

"Does your chest hurt?"

"A little, the injection wasn't long ago but..."

Her eyes rolled to the ground as she averted her gaze, likely worried I would be angry or upset that the medicine didn't work.

So I decided to stop playing and tell her the truth.

"I've managed to find the cure."

The moment I did, her expression and atmosphere transformed completely.

"Eh!?"
