Kapitel 400: Something's not right

Originally Mathew expected that only the hunters and that was already in the best possible scenario, would gain their systems after just the first battle.

But the fight turned out not only far bloodier than Mathew expected but also ended up with a lot more loot.

Sure, most of the cores would come from the corpses of Nadia and Leila's making. Still, after a period where no zombies would appear anywhere near the fortress, stumbling upon a horde so early on… was a boon.

'Some of the hunters ended up dying…' Mathew's lips twitched when a scene from a legendary cartoon appeared in his mind. 'But it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make.'

"Hurry it up!" Leila shouted, pulling Mathew out of his thoughts. "We don't have all day!"

For once, this encouragement wasn't directed at the young man.

The survivors of the battle were now walking knee-deep into the pile of corpses, extracting core after core from the fallen zombies.
