Apocalypse King: Recruiting S-Tier Beauties With My Ruler System-Chapter 249: The Horde Approaches

"Well, I’m not joining the Jiang family. They will become part of my Wang family."

After Jiang Lou’s announcement, I felt it necessary to correct him; the look on his face twisted into a horrific picture. Eyes widened, veins bulging from forehead, teeth clenched together with deep breaths.

"You..." He spoke with a low, raspy, and almost exasperated tone.

However, before he could continue, the door suddenly opened, and Jiang Siwan, in her nightgown, stepped inside with hasty, unsteady steps. "Father, John!" She looked at us before staggering, and before she fell, I caught her.

The soft heat from her bare flesh spread through my palms, her huge breasts squished under my fingertips as they sank into her obscene, erotic pillows.

I swallowed, eyes locked on her silky, almost see-through nightgown, with frills.

"Siwan!? What kind of outfit are you wearing in front of a man? How dare you—"

"Father, now isn’t that time for that! A horde, it’s a horde!" Jiang Siwan’s raspy, desperate voice echoed through the room and down the hallway.

She shifted her hips and leaned against me, letting my hand slip further into her cleavage... the other wrapped around her perky buttocks. "Nnn..." A hot sigh blew down my neck as she leaned gently on my chest to keep stable.

"W-What!?" The shock on Old Jiang’s face looked almost comical, his eyes bloodshot and wide open, while his hands dug into the metal frame of his chair. "You can’t be serious?"

Although he looked furious about our current situation, no one could ignore the horde which took priority as he slammed down on the desk. Bang! All his papers flew into the air, pencils jumped, and the wood cracked. "How many, how far, when will they arrive!?" He looked at me, probably realising this was the horde I mentioned on the first day.

"Father, the amount... not counting stage one zombies, there’s at least two thousand..."

"Wait, you mean there are at least two thousand of the evolved types!?"

[Danger]

[Human Extinction Level Threat Detected]

A warning buzzed in my head, not the gentle and comforting voice of an older sister, but a mechanical and empty one.

[Threat: HIGH]

[Numbers: 12,500+ and Increasing]

[Stage Six Humanoid Mutant Detected]

Pannels overlapped in front of my vision as Jiang Siwan and her father began to discuss the horde, their information hopelessly irrelevant.

"Old Man."

I called his name while holding the side of my forehead, a sharp pain throbbing from the warning sound constantly reverberating in my head.

"Siwan, what should we do... the 50 cal cannons could be used but the amount of troops to face that amount of evolved threat isn’t here!"

"Father..."

"Old Man!" I called louder, this time gripping Jiang Siwan’s breasts and squeezing them to get her attention so she might calm down.

The pair of them began to hyperventilate, their eyes dilated, and a sense of dread filled the room just because of a massive horde.

They don’t even know the actual numbers!

Because of the sitaution, I couldn’t help but take matters into my own hands, as she wouldn’t snap out of it.

I lifted my hand and channelled my Primordial Tyrant’s Boy Scripture and slammed down on her overside ass. Smack! "Hyaan!?" Her voice filled the room, shocking both the milf and her father as the meat of her buttocks jiggled while my fingers sank into her devilish meat.

"John... how could you slap my ass?"

"You little brat, dare to defile my grandaughter and now my daughter!?"

The old man forgot his request a few moments earlier, just showing how unfocused and destabilising the horde of information made him. I couldn’t leave them like this. With a deep breath, I caressed her warm flesh and gathered myself.

"Hah, both of you were acting like fools arguing and becoming so hysterical." Ignoring my swelling shaft, I scolded them and focused on the situation.

[Estimated time of arrival: 32 hours]

[Last chance to escape from the base: 5 hours]

It was a hopeless situation, and even Wang Yin didn’t realise the horde grew to such levels, even with him trimming the horde each night with his wife.

The danger was far beyond my expectations, and it became apparent that the information I received was much more accurate than what Siwan and the old man had provided. They couldn’t have known that there were even more evolved forms and hordes of regular zombies to increase the numbers further.

Is he searching for me... or this base because of the gathering of several Stage Four humans, and the sheer amount of evolved humans would mean a ridiculous level of nourishment for his horde.

Lao... it has to be Lao, that damn bastard.

A zombie that almost killed Jiang Roulan now attacks the Jiang family compound. Somehow, it felt ironic, and her quest changed to reflect that. Another reason I needed to act. Damnit.

[You have exceeded Jiang Roulan’s expectations! Her affection and trust have reached an unbreakable level!]

[However, before you claim your rewards, another issue has occurred!]

[Save the Jiang Family from certain doom and keep her grandfather and mother alive!]

"Hah, what a damn pain."

"What’s with that sigh? Why are you acting so arrogant?" Old Man Jiang asked me, but I could only sigh again at his lack of foresight.

"Because, if you don’t let me lead this base, and offer control even if temporary... Everyone is going to die."

"Eh?" Jiang Siwan gasped, "Even you can’t save everyone alone..." She spoke with a soft voice, her eyes half-lidded, and her mouth open, a trail of saliva dripping from her lower lip. The unexpected turn of events seemed to shock her, and the sharp slap on her butt stunned the older woman into an almost erotic stupor.

"I am serious, the current numbers you have are completely wrong." I let her go and walked past the pair, heading toward the balcony, which overlooked the rest of the base.

"John, you little brat, what do you know about this situation?"

"Grandfather. The number of zombies is over ten thousand, and the strongest zombie would take me, you, Siwan and all my other women to stall, let alone kill him."

My words, as if a bitter pill, chilled the room to the core.

"But if you give me temporary control and leadership of this entire compoud, I can show you just how I saved your daughter. How I made her strong and kept the people alive despite our small force."

It wasn’t the time to be petty—or time to think with my dick. But the time for action!

"So, will you trust me, and give me temporary command?"

"Father, he’s the best chance we have to stay safe."

Siwan spoke up, her expression intense, serious, and determined. She looked at me with a glimmer of hope and faith that made me feel a little guilty and worried.

To be honest, they didn’t have much reason to trust me, other than being Jiang Roulan’s boyfriend and clearing the back of the base, so I used a loud voice and forced the situation while their mental state wasn’t focused.

"Y-You, can you save us? Is this a trick I..." Old Man Jiang’s voice trembled, and for the first time, he felt more human and vulnerable. Instead of the strong leader, I saw the man for the first time. "If you can save my daughter, granddaughter and... our family, I will never forget your help and will acknowledge your relationship with Roulan wholeheartedly."

"If i can clear this issue, become my force. I will let you keep running the base, but follow me Old Jiang!"

The old man’s eyes shone with a sense of desperation that was hard to put into words. I didn’t expect such words to come out of his mouth, but in times of need, even a lion will offer its paw to a dog.

"Listen. I can offer support that no human in this world can offer. But I lack your skills, your abilities and charisma for the Jiang family to have endured and gone this far." I took a breath, looking at Siwan and her Luo with a calm and respectful gaze. "Without both of you and your family, this entire base would have crumbled." 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

"Trust me... and I will do everything in the world to ensure the Jiang family lives on for the next thousand years in prosperity!"

I had to be honest and show some level of care or concern towards them.

The base’s food, protection, and numbers allowed me to fight the hordes at night and gather experience points; without them, I would have had to rely on killing zombies to increase in strength and find a way to gather enough resources to attract women.

The number of people in the base and the number of soldiers I could recruit weren’t equal, but they would fill me to the limit.

With my System, I would boost their power by utilising the cores I managed to obtain from the backyard. "I will make the Jiang forces the greatest in our kingdom. Believe in me, and I shall grant you the power and security to live in comfort."

It wasn’t the time to play around with this issue, and while I wanted to enjoy Siwan, it would have to wait for another time. What we needed was strength, power, and a plan to survive against the upcoming horde.

"Can you help us?" The old man asked, as the System voice whispered.

[Jiang Luo has offered you his temporary trust - Loyalty + 300]

[The Jiang compound can now be selected as your territory: Free Safe zone - 100,000 Square feet.]
