Chapter 122: Core detonation

"How come zombies are not attacking me, huh?" Daria repeated Mathew's question only to shake her head to the sides before shrugging her shoulders. "I have no idea. I was fighting them as usual until a few moments ago, they suddenly lost all interest in me."

'Huh?' Mathew thought, shocked by the revelation. 'I know there had to be some point when the situation suddenly changed... but when?'

Mathew swung his hand to the side, killing a zombie that dared to interrupt his thinking time.

"Was it when Leila killed the evolved one?" Mathew muttered, stopping his hand seconds before he would use it to rub his chin.

On its own, this gesture wasn't anything wrong. But with how much zombie virus Mathew already received, putting zombie blood anywhere near his mouth didn't seem like something smart to do.

"Or was it when I raised your statistics?" Mathew then mumbled under his nose, ready to consider the other option that he could think of.
