Chapter 76: Fan boy, Ray becomes an overnight celebrity?
"We found a survivor camp with people still alive, so we relocated them there," Evelyn said.
"Oh," Ray said calmly as he landed on the ground from the tall building with a loud thud.
"Stop!"
Ray heard a commanding voice and turned to see a group of men with guns, their expressions fierce.
However, when they saw the five women and a tall man holding them in his arms, their expressions softened slightly.
"Hmm?" Ray glanced at Evelyn with a questioning look.
"I made a deal with the leader of this survivor camp to let them stay; otherwise, I would have killed him. Besides, I've researched his character—he absolutely won't pull anything." She hurriedly explained with nervousness.
Ray didn't respond but narrowed his eyes at Evelyn, leaving her looking puzzled.
"Looks like you're in trouble, Evelyn," Vanessa said with a chuckle.
In reality, Evelyn was the strongest among them and had naturally become the leader of the group while also managing it even though she was quietest but she always acted when it was necessary.
Ray gave Vanessa a look. "You really know what I'm thinking."
"Don't give me that look; I have a master's in psychology, so I'm smart."
"How much did the degree cost?"
"You..." Vanessa pouted, feeling a little aggrieved. "I did earn that degree."
Seeing Vanessa's aggrieved expression, Ray spoke lightly. "You do act smart sometimes, so I'll believe you."
"Really?" Vanessa's face immediately brightened with a smile.
Ray gazed at her smile with a slightly dazed expression. "I have to admit, she's really beautiful," he murmured to himself.
It's true; she really is a beauty, especially with that bright smile.
"You should always smile, Vanessa."
"Thanks." Vanessa accepted the compliment with a smug smile.
"By the way, wear that ponytail the next time we're in bed," he whispered into her ear.
"Why?"
"I want to be a real driver."
"What do you mean?"
"You'll find out at that time," Ray said with a mysterious expression.
"Hey, we've been calling you, idiot!"
Ray cast a brief look at the group of people but remained silent.
At that moment, Evelyn stepped forward with a cold expression. "Take us to your leader."
"Oh, Miss Evelyn," the man at the front smiled when he saw her. "If it's Miss Evelyn, then she's welcome to meet our leader. We're a little on alert because of the military announcement, so I apologise, Miss."
"That guy Ray, whoever he is, must be a criminal. Instead of the military rescuing us, they want to raze the entire city. He must have committed some heinous crime."
Evelyn's brows twitched with frustration. The jealous man behind her might really lose it if there was even a scratch on any of the women.
"Lead us the way," Ray said in a deep voice as he walked forward.
"Who are you?" the leader asked, frowning. He was slightly intimidated by Ray's imposing aura but steadied himself, thinking of the leader behind him.
"The Ray you're talking about."
Ray's gaze was cold, his entire body radiating a sharp killing intent that made the man's scalp prickle.
The man in the front fell to the ground, displaying a horrified look. Despite appearing normal to an outsider, the man felt as though he were facing a terrifying monster in human skin.
The other people showed similar reactions.
"Take me to your leader," Ray calmly repeated.
The man hurriedly nodded and showed the way for Ray.
Meanwhile, the girls stayed behind. They regrouped with the Freya and the other girls.
As Ray walked, he recollected that this base, unlike others, hadn't committed atrocities like cannibalism.
The leader was quite weak, too; Ray hadn't taken any action against the base when his summoned undead dog had sneaked up.
Soon, he met a red-haired man who was constantly looking at his phone with a hint of fanaticism in his eyes.
"Who is this?" The leader put his phone to the side and looked at Ray with a displeased expression, but when Ray's face came into his vision, his expression slightly changed.
The man who led him whispered some words to the leader, causing his eyes to widen before leaving the place.
"Ugh."
The red-haired man took a deep breath while looking at Ray with a serious expression on his face. "My name is Greg. Nice to meet you, Mr. Ray."
"Nice to meet you as well, Mr. Greg." Ray nodded his head.
Greg's body trembled. "Are you really Ray?"
"Yes," Ray confirmed, looking at Greg with a puzzled expression as his breathing became rough.
"Is the man in this video really you?" Greg showed his mobile to Ray, displaying a video of Ray fighting with King.
Ray nodded, then his eyes went to the view count, which had already reached almost hundred million, making his expression strange.
After the apocalypse and the initial world war, the population of the entire world might not even cross a hundred million. Yet, now this single video has hundred million views, even though the internet was relatively secluded.
There were hundreds of Reddit threads discussing him and King and how Ray overpowered King, finally showing who the real King was.
In almost all the social media this scene was played.
The more Ray looked at it, the more his expression turned strange.
Luckily, he hadn't shown his undead in the video, and not many people knew about it, which could still be used as an ace card for now.
"I'm a fan of yours!" Greg said excitedly. "How did you become so strong? Can you make me just like you?"
Ray looked into Greg's eyes, which almost formed a twinkle.
"It's nothing, but thanks for saving my woman."
"Which woman?" Greg asked with a tilt of his head.
"All of them that Evelyn came with."
"Wait, really? Boss, you can handle seventy-plus women? How do you even manage them?"
A barrage of questions hit Ray's face.
"This guy seems like my fan boy," Ray thought, feeling a little speechless.
