Leveling Up Wives In The Apocalypse

Chapter 131 - Zombie Army

Mathew got out of the shaft as soon as he could. Yet, rather than heading for the staircase and then the ground floor, he moved in the opposite direction, approaching the main-gate facing window instead.

“This looks far worse in reality than it does on the map,” he muttered under his nose while gritting his teeth and grabbing hard at the edge of the window’s ledge.

“How bad is it?” Nadia asked as soon as she joined her man by the window and looked down. She then swallowed her saliva before freezing by Mathew’s side. “This doesn’t look good,” she admitted when her eyes moved beyond the wall and then the gate.

‘Wait, if we assume that there is more than just a single commander…’ Mathew thought. He then scanned the picture just a fewteen meters away from the window again.

“No, there are three field commanders and one that manages the entire picture,” Mathew muttered after taking a long look
