Leveling Up Wives In The Apocalypse

“Wakey, wakey!” Nadia shook Mathew’s shoulder with a smug grin on her face. “Where did all that energy of yours go?” she asked while poking Mathew’s side.

“Leave me alone,” Mathew protested, pulling up his pillow over his ears.

For how eager he was to wake up early when planning the next day, Mathew sure struggled with that waking up part.

“No can do!” Nadia happily rejected Mathew’s offer. She then changed her objective, grabbing at the sheets instead. “The sun is already out. You need to start the day the right way!”

“Do you want us to help?” Leila sensed the opportunity through her sleep, waking up on the spot.

Her eyes glistered. She pushed her upper body up, not shamed by her nakedness whatsoever.

“Sure,” Nadia said as she earnestly accepted the offer.

‘So even if she isn’t all that happy with our strange situation, she is happy to have more people bully me?’ Mathew thought with his desperation growing.

“Fine,” he said._.

It was a sudden idea, yet a brilliant one.

‘Instead of letting them bully me, I can just wake up,’ Mathew thought.

He then forced his eyes open before pushing himself up from the bedding.

“Uuuh?” Nadia let out a long whine. “What did you do that for?” she asked in a disappointed voice.

‘Huh?’ Mathew shrugged a little. ‘Something’s not right,’ he thought.

Nadia swung her head as if she was drunk. And for a moment, Mathew could glance at the girl’s face.

‘She’s still half asleep?’ he thought, noticing the drowsy look behind Nadia’s eyes.

Mathew then raised his hand and clutched at his chest.

“Damn,” he whispered, unable to tear his eyes away from the cuteness of his crush.

Her messy hair coated her fair face. Nadia’s half-lowered eyelids added strange matureness and spice to her eyes.

And there was this warm look that she gave him when their eyes meet.

“You woke up!” Nadia happily proclaimed before throwing her arms around Mathew’s neck.

‘What the…’ the young man froze in place, startled to the end of his wits.

“Hehehe,” Nadia giggled while pressing her face against Mat’s chest.

“I see,” Mathew sighed heavily before grabbing the girl by her shoulders and giving her a gentle shake.

“Huh?” Nadia looked around, still slightly drowsy. She slowly moved her head around, taking in all the details of the situation. Her head moved then back to its natural position only for Nadia’s eyes to turn cloudy as she thought hard to make sense of what she saw.

Nadia’s eyes suddenly turned clear and widened to the limits.

“What did I…” she anxiously shouted, only to raise her eyes and end up staring right into Mathew’s face.

Nadia’s words got stuck in her throat. She continued to stare into Mathew’s eyes, unable to move an inch, frozen at the moment.

“Can you stop with this lovebird’s act?” Daria suddenly spoke out, making both Nadia and Mathew turn their heads towards her.

The girl herself gracefully raised from the bed. She pushed her arms to the side, allowing the sheets to slide down her chest right as she started to stretch.

Daria pushed her boobs out and took a deep breath of fresh air. She then pushed her arms to the back, reaching the climax of her long yawn.

‘Damn,’ Mathew thought, gulping down his saliva.

The show Daria just gave him could easily rival the cuteness of Nadia’s sleepy adorableness.

“It makes me horny,” Daria added after a while, looking at the rest with a smug smile of superiority.

‘She is perfectly aware how insane was that,’ Mathew thought, gulping his saliva again, this time in slight fear.

“Guys, I know we would all love to play,” Leila spoke for the first time in a while. “But aren’t we going to hunt?”

Leila’s point was perfectly valid. It was Mathew’s refusal to wake up properly that led to all this.

“I guess I’m at fault here,” he admitted before raising to his knees and then standing up. “Come on girls, we can play once we are done,” the young man added as he offered his hands to the girls.

The group managed to turn from a bunch of flirty sleepyheads into a cohesive fighting force in a manner of a few minutes. Once everything was said and done, the determination to stay safe through another day prompted them to act quickly.

“It looks like this fortress or whatever is working,” Leila pointed out when they finished their preparations and reached the edge of the school’s compound.

“Magnificent,” Mathew muttered as he looked closely at a strange barrier of more intense light that covered the school’s fence and extended up to the skies.

“Isn’t this something made by those who created the apocalypse in the first place?” Daria pointed out. She then leaned her head to the side. “What could be so amazing about it?”

Daria then stomped her leg angrily before turning her face away.

“How it recognizes the patterns in the world,” Mathew explained as he raised his eyes from the barrier. “If we want to fight the cause of it all, we need to understand it first,” he countered without mercy.

“Are we going through or not?” Nadia intervened, stopping the exchange before it could fully transform into an argument.

Mathew sighed. He then turned his face back to the wall of light plastered all over the school’s fence. “We are going,” he replied before starting to climb up.

Before they went down, Mathew took a closer look at the map. Thanks to the bonus from picking the top floor merchant he could peer a bit into the lands beyond the school’s compound.

And what he found out turned out to be pretty obvious.

Most of the zombies in the direct vincity of the school were gathered at two points. One of them was the main entrance as it was best connected to the rest of the city while the other was the fixed breach in the school’s wall.

But it wasn’t those two points that caught Mathew’s interest.

‘If most of the zombies are out there, it’s best to start our first mission in the opposite direction,’ Mathew decided back then. And now, by climbing the fence himself, he was going to prove his decision was right.
