Apocalypse King: Recruiting S-Tier Beauties With My Ruler System-Chapter 251: Jiang Defence Front

[Analysis Complete!]

[Mu Qinglan Granted Sub-Administrator Rights]

[John, there are several paths you could take. Would you like them in detail or a summary?]

The messages that filled my view brought a small flicker of hope and comfort, but with just my brain, this might end in tragedy. I have tried to do things on my own several times, and it never worked out how I intended.

With less than two days to prepare, time wasn’t on our side.

***

Sitting in the jeep heading to the front wall and civilian district, I browsed through the messages and notifications with a calm mind.

Tell me the most likely to succeed plan and the riskiest plan.

Suddenly, I felt a hand grip mine and squeeze tightly.

"J-John... there’s something strange here."

When I turned to face her, she looked at me with wide eyes and a look of pure shock, her cute lips slightly parted and her nostrils flared a little.

"Can you see something?"

"Y-Yes, it’s like the usual screen but it says I have points and administrative rights..." She tilted her head, then looked at me with her electric blue eyes full of wonder. "Did you give them to me, buy why?"

"Because I trust you."

There wasn’t any huge meaning or reason.

When it came to logistics and money, I trusted Qinglan the most. After all, her company went from almost bankrupt to one of the strongest brands in the entire country.

So why wouldn’t I pick Mu Qingan to help me manage this amount of points?

"What do you need me to do?"

Almost instantly, her tone changed to a lower and more business-like voice as she tapped her thigh—a nostalgic habit. Qinglan would tap her desk while working on a project or trying to prepare for an important meeting.

"Don’t stress yourself. I have sent an amount of points for you to use to help us deal with the upcoming horde." I could see the screens in front of Qinglan, so I noticed she immediately switched to the pages for weapons and skills. "I will be working on another plan, so consider yours our backup or supportive."

The jeep came to a slow halt.

With a click, a soldier opened the door for us, and we climbed out into the sweltering heat and thick scent of oil and gunpowder.

"This is—"

"Horrible... how many people have died?" Qinglan finished my sentence with wide eyes and a gaping mouth.

Shocked at the damaged wall and the bloodstained stairs.

The pseudo wall was tall, but more fragile than I had thought when I drove through it the day before yesterday.

"Well, the attacks have become too frequent those big bastards just won’t die easily." A soldier who was now part of my people mumbled.

"The brutes... well they need a big calibre gun or explosives to easily kill."

The man was barely an E-Tier in terms of his attributes... it would be a miracle if he survived the horde attack in a few hours.

Maybe I should prioritise these weak soldiers...

The thought crossed my mind as the System sister whispered in my mind.

[Horde Resistant Review]

- Improve troop strength

- Bolster entry points

- Make the front wall a Safe zone

- Purchase High-Tier Weapons

- Swallow a Supreme Blood Essence Pill to boost Cultivation

- Have your lovers, Liang Mei, Li Ya, and Zhou Xue swallow the remaining 200+ Cores

***

Her suggestions filled my vision, spreading out on either side.

The risky ones seemed to be less dangerous than I imagined them to be, but still a gamble.

Especially, giving Jiang Roulan a core—a stage four zombie core. It could easily corrupt and destroy her. On the other hand, she has shown herself to be an integral member of the force.

Mu Qinglan’s strength had already reached the Fourth Stage, and her blade allowed her to fight most of the incoming horde without much difficulty. The issue was Zao and any Stage Five zombies he might have beside him.

"What’s the matter John?"

Qinglan’s sharp gaze turned to me, no longer looking at the wall. She grabbed my arm and pulled me close.

I could see that she had narrowed down her purchasing list to a set of assault rifles with grenade attachments and reinforced longbows for Deng Hua and the others from the Archery club.

"I was just preparing to start working... though people will probably ask questions." I could only show a bitter smile, knowing that both the Jiang family and many of our allies would have questions. "So I hesitated a little..."

"Just do what you want, John. I will supprt you." Her hand wrapped around mine, her fingers slipping into mine, intertwining them as she leaned on my chest.

"Whatever you do, we are here to support you."

Her eyes were full of trust, adoration, and sincerity. "But if you make a mistake, or keep collecting women, we’ll scold you!" Her finger tapped my nose as she smiled like an imp before kissing my cheek.

The soft heat of her lips spread through my face as she pulled away with a wet smack.

"I need to help you now." Qinglan took a deep breath and looked at the walls, the sky, and then the ruined area of the compound. Her eyes widened, and a malicious gleam appeared for a split second. "Leave the soldiers’ weapons to me, I will speak with Li Ya and Tang Wei about what’s needed to fight the stronger zombies."

"W-Wait Qinglan, do you see that small flashing box?" I pointed to the icons that blinked in front of her.

"Oh... what does this do?" She tapped it, and the shared inventory between our System opened. Inside were food, clothes, spare items like ladies’ items, perfume and the 200 cores. "J-John, how many zombies did you kill without me?!"

"A lot... when we went into the back of the compound there were hundreds."

"...!" She grabbed my face with both hands, her face scrunched up as if angry. "John!" She spoke my name firmly, the words on her tongue hot and heavy. "D-Don’t be reckless anymore."

Her eyes shook, and before I could speak, she kissed me again, this time her lips crushed mine, and she bit me... not too hard, but the sharp pain of her teeth sinking into my lips made me wince.

"Lan’er..."

The smell and heat of her body brought back memories of our first night and time together, but before anything else, we had a lot to prepare.

"In future, you have to bring us all... No matter how simple it seems!" She glared at me, her tongue licking the red marks before pulling away. "If it wasn’t a bad time, I’d punish you right now! Hmph." Despite her angry tone, her fingers continued stroking me, and she remained close to me.

"So, I want you to organise these cores into colours and swallow them slowly with the others."

"The others?"

"Deng Hua, Chen Xun, Liang Qiu, Liang Mei and Zhou Xue... Li Ya and then all the women who I’ve slept with."

Mu Qinglan looked at me with a bitter smile. "I see, Tang Wei included?"

"Jiang Roulan’s mother too, these things won’t help with just one, so don’t give them everyone."

She took a deep breath and gave me a nod.

"You’re not upset?" I looked at her. It wasn’t like her to give in so easily.

"Should I be? Hmph... No, I would rather them have these and protect you better." Mu Qinglan rolled a red core on her palm before looking back at me. "So red increases strength, green speed and yellow endurance?"

"Yeah, blue improves your mind and spirit against those command types..."

"Ah, the weird ones? Mmm... okay, then I have to ensure they take the right ones."

Qinglan was aware of the weaknesses of the women in our group.

"Focus on their weakness first, babe."

"Who’s your babe? Fufu..."

"Ah... and be careful, take at least five to eight in total... take them slow and eat a large meal to fill your stomach before..."

"I know, I know! Stop nagging me, and just shut up." Qinglan snapped at me as she pushed my back against the wall... "I am so jealous right now... how many women have you slept with?" Her glare felt dangerous, so I just sighed and counted with my fingers. "And no lies!"

"You, Roulan, Yifei and Tang Wei."

"Ah... so you didn’t sleep with Her mom?"

"N-no... not yet."

"Y-Yet?" Qinglan’s eyes became dull, her body swirling with a cold aura as she gripped my bodysuit tightly. "You damn playboy!"

Qinglan’s anger flared, her body shifting from one foot to the other. Her expression turned fierce as she gave me another kiss on my cheek. "Alright, I need to help the soldiers. My god... There are so many to organise!"

"..."

Lan’er vanished from my sight before I could respond.

Standing alone, I took a deep breath and focused on the Safe Zone screen, making the wall and the civilian area the safe zone would help immensely. Only Lao and other Stage Five zombies could hurt the place.

[Make Compound 1-4 and Outer walls a Safe Zone?]

[Yes | No]

There was no need to hold back.
