I Spread my Genes to Level Up in the Apocalypse

"How do I do that?" Elsha looked at Ray, confusion clouding her eyes.

Ray remained silent, a stern expression settling on his face as he slowly walked toward her, step by step. His footsteps echoed in her head, making her ears buzz, and she couldn't help but gulp nervously.

"For that, we need to be very close to each other," he whispered slowly in her ear.

"How do we become close?" Elsha asked, her voice trembling as she began to backtrack, a scared expression on her face.

"Hmm, if I want to raise an affinity with this girl, I still have a long time ahead of me," Ray muttered to himself, chuckling as he gently flicked her forehead.

"What are you thinking about?"

Elsha bore the slight sting with a flustered expression, her confusion deepening.

"I can do it with you, but I need time, it will be my first time…." She shuttered.

"Alright." Ray nodded his head with a smile "but that is not the only way to cultivate affinity."

"What way then?" Elsha said with a confused expression.

"Do you wanna go on a date?"

"Eh, a date!?" Elsha stammered, her cheeks flushing slightly. It wasn't an exaggerated reaction, but it was clear she was caught off guard.

"I guess she's never been on a date before, huh?" Ray thought to himself. For someone as mature as Elsha to be flustered by just a few words, it was likely true that she'd never experienced a romantic relationship.

"Yeah, wanna go to the movies?" he suggested with a smile.

"Eh?" Elsha blinked in confusion, and before she knew it, she found herself in a dark, empty theatre with a big screen in front of her. An action superhero movie, Revenger: The End Game, was playing.

"Sorry, I couldn't find a romantic movie for the hall," Ray said, rubbing the back of his head sheepishly.

Elsha smiled. "It's fine. I don't like romantic movies anyway; they feel like a young girl's self-fantasy. This movie is fine, but isn't it a little old already?"

"There aren't many new movies left that can be called good, and almost every new film has a terrible plot," Ray replied with a helpless shake of his head.

"I don't like them either, especially those superhero movies that aired just before the apocalypse," Elsha agreed, nodding.

As they continued watching the movie, Elsha gradually leaned into Ray's arm, humming softly with a smile on her face.

After the movie, they spent the rest of the day doing various activities like golf, cricket, bowling, and more, all within the luxury of Ray's skyscraper.

This skyscraper, the tallest in the city, housed all of Ray's women, but even so, it felt somewhat empty.

There were about 234 staff members dedicated to maintaining the building, and their payment was made in the form of green pills.

In the apocalypse, the greatest necessity for people was food. With no food production, as most animals had either died or mutated, and greenery had seemingly vanished, the situation was dire.

Crops had mysteriously disappeared from existence, leaving only a few trees. This made food incredibly scarce, and although the city managed to sustain some food production by raising the few remaining normal animals, it wasn't enough to feed everyone.

As a result, the green pill became the primary currency due to its convenience. One pill could sustain a person for an entire day, making it a vital resource in a world where food was nearly impossible to come by and this was quickly accepted by the people.

After all, money held no value anymore!

Ray and Elsha spent the entire day together, enjoying each other's company, and Ray could tell that Elsha's smile had become more genuine as the day went on.

"Hey, Ray, let's play that arcade game again," Vanessa said, tugging at his sleeve with a playful smile.

"Why are you here, Vanessa?" Elsha asked, her lips forming a small pout.

"Come on," Vanessa replied, firmly patting Elsha on the back with a grin. "You can't keep Ray all to yourself; he belongs to all of us equally."

"Okay," Elsha responded with a calm expression.

"Hey, are you even listening?" Vanessa frowned, noticing Elsha's demeanour.

"Yeah, I'm listening," Elsha nodded.

"But your expression tells me otherwise," Vanessa said, her tone sharpening.

The atmosphere suddenly grew tense, as if a confrontation might break out at any moment.

Cough! Cough!

Ray lightly coughed, breaking the tension and snapping the two women out of their confrontation.

"Vanessa, this is Elsha's moment," Ray said sternly. "You'll have your time to spend with me later. Let her enjoy hers now."

"Fine, fine," Vanessa grumbled, retreating with a pout. As she walked away, she muttered under her breath, "This bastard hates the old and loves the new…"

Ray's lips twitched slightly at her comment.

Elsha chuckled softly. "Hahaha, Ray, she's still not mature enough. It's fine."

As Elsha spent more time with Ray, her feelings for him naturally deepened, and she gradually grew more comfortable with the date. She found herself drawn to Ray's handsome face and the power and authority he effortlessly exuded just by standing there.

Ray had been the big boss of the city for quite some time now, and the presence he exuded was naturally formed—a quiet but unmistakable aura of confidence rooted in his strength and his rule over the entire city.

As the evening wore on, Ray led Elsha to the rooftop for a candlelight dinner, bathed in the soft glow of the moonlight.

The city below was quiet and peaceful, wrapped in a serene atmosphere as the moon cast its lustrous light on the two of them.

Ray's face, illuminated by the moonlight, was flawless, almost as soft as a newborn's skin.

Elsha, wearing a sleeveless blue one piece, looked stunning. The dress highlighted her figure perfectly, especially that pair of marshmallows that seemed to be caged by the dress.

Her black curly hair flowed freely down her back, and there was a faint red tint on her face as she sipped the wine elegantly with a smile.

"Ray, this steak is the best," Elsha said with a satisfied smile as she cut a large chunk of steak and ate it. The tender, juicy meat exploded in her mouth.

"Well, it is good."

Ray also took the steak and ate it in one bite.

"Wow, you eat like a brute," Elsha said with disbelief in her eyes.

"Although it's fancy, I like things simple, and this cannot possibly satisfy me," Ray said in a deep tone, his eyes filled with meaning.

Elsha lowered her head with a little shyness, of course she knew the meaning of what Ray said.

Actually she also didn't like fancy things herself, and Ray's wild nature suited her preference.

She had always been a dense person, and even if someone proposed to her, Elsha couldn't muster up the courage.

Ray gently tugged at her chin, making her face up to him, and looked into her deep black eyes.

"Shall we proceed, my lady?" Ray asked.

"Mhm." Elsha nodded, hugging his neck. "Carry me."

"Alright." Ray chuckled, catching her legs and lifting her in a princess carry as they went inside.

In front of Ray, the tempting Elsha lay on the bed with her beautiful face and curvy body. Her eyes looked at him with a hint of intoxication.

Their lips slowly met as they hugged each other passionately. Ray began to loosen her clothes one by one, while Elsha did the same. After some time, they reluctantly parted their lips.

"Be gentle," Elsha said with a blush, her hand trying to cover her vital parts out of embarrassment.

"So embarrassing."

She muttered to herself as she glanced over Ray's perfectly shaped muscles, filled with the power for fighting, then her gaze dropped lower, sending a strange tingle through her.

"Alright, I will be gentle." Ray said, his eyes also wandering over her body. Her slim belly, long legs, and those full breasts made him feel almost hypnotised.

In moments, they were both naked, and soon, moans filled the room.

It was a night of passion for Ray and Elsha.

However, the same could not be said for his enemies.

"Why has Ray never come out of his city until now?" the golden-haired woman murmured, frowning. After Ray had gone to hunt the undead after that he was basically nowhere to be seen.

"If his city progresses like this, then almost all those Awakeners we have managed to persuade from overseas might go to his city soon."

"Damn it, I shouldn't have sent Elyon to do the job. This bastard was quite useful."

She bit her lip in contemplation. Elyon had been recently recruited and was still there to spy on King. She had thought it was a clever move, but Ray had completely disrupted her plans.

Now he has become a threat to her entire force. At that moment, she heard a knock at the door.

"What is it?" She instantly regained her saintly demeanour and said lightly.

"There is an unknown man insisting on your presence, Madam. We tried to drive him away, but he beat the person half to death. Should we kill this intruder, Saint?"

"Who could it be?" She frowned.

Normal people absolutely couldn't beat this guard, and even common Awakeners wouldn't have the guts to cause trouble here.

"That bastard is a tall man with scars over both his eyes; he looks like a demon straight out of hell."

"King?" The saint paused, touching her blindfold a strange light flashed in the entire room the moment she touched it.

"Let him in."
