End of Days Game: I'm the Only One Who Can See the Hidden Cues

Faced with a large number of mechanical monsters, even Jeremy and Ritchie, who had prepared for battle, found themselves unable to respond perfectly.

"We need to retreat to a safe place right now! There are simply too many monsters here," Ritchie said urgently to Jeremy.

Jeremy nodded in agreement, then shifted his gaze toward Major Joseph.

Major Joseph had been the first to come under attack from the mechanical monsters. Naturally, his condition was the worst among them. However, Major Joseph had no intention of retreating from City Hall.

"We have to hold our ground. If we retreat, the mechanical monsters will undoubtedly launch attacks on other parts of Valley City. The ordinary citizens of Valley City won't stand a chance against these monsters," Major Joseph declared firmly.

As the person in charge of Valley City's defense, Major Joseph hoped to rally Jeremy and Ritchie to stand with him against the sudden surge of mechanical monsters.

Joseph's reasoning resonated deeply with Jeremy.

"You're right, but we need a better solution than just fighting recklessly here! While our strength is considerable, we can't withstand such a massive assault from these mechanical monsters. I'll open a Portal for now to transport the mechanical monsters outside the city! During the process, you must ensure I'm not attacked by any of them," Jeremy said decisively.

Jeremy gathered all the power at his disposal and activated his talent as The King of Time and Space. Around him, space began to ripple and distort. These spatial changes gradually formed a series of miniature light gates. As the miniature light gates converged, they coalesced into a single portal leading outside Valley City.

Throughout this process, the mechanical monsters relentlessly targeted Jeremy, attempting to interrupt him. Yet their efforts were in vain. Major Joseph and Ritchie stood their ground, holding off the advancing mechanical monsters with everything they had.

After approximately five minutes of stabilizing the portal, Jeremy expanded it to encompass the entire City Hall. In that moment, the entire building became a Portal.

Every single mechanical monster was instantaneously transported outside the city through the portal.

The sudden disappearance of the mechanical monsters brought a sense of relief to both Ritchie and Major Joseph.

Although there were still some stragglers among the mechanical monsters, their small numbers meant they could be easily dealt with.

"Thankfully, you have the talent of The King of Time and Space! Without you, I wouldn't have had the slightest idea how to transfer all those mechanical monsters out of here!" Major Joseph said with a hint of awe in his voice.

As he spoke, his gaze shifted to Jeremy.

Jeremy's condition, however, was not looking great at that moment.

Even though Jeremy had fully mastered the talent of The King of Time and Space, using it to teleport such a massive number of monsters all at once had drained him significantly. Beads of cold sweat lined his forehead, and his face had turned pale.

"Are you alright? You look terrible! You should take a break. Come back to the camp with me immediately—there are some supplies there that might help you recover," Major Joseph suggested firmly.

He wouldn't allow Jeremy to push himself to fight in such a weakened state. Major Joseph was eager to get Jeremy back to the military camp, where the supplies could help restore his condition.

At that moment, Ritchie approached Jeremy as well, pulling out some emergency provisions from his pocket.

Jeremy consumed the provisions, and after a while, his complexion improved slightly.

"Teleporting so many mechanical monsters at once took a toll on me," Jeremy admitted. "Although we've transferred the monsters away, they've only been moved to an area farther from Valley City. It won't take them long to return! We must act quickly and find the root cause of this problem. These mechanical monsters didn't just appear in Valley City out of nowhere."

Jeremy's determination to uncover the problem's root cause was unwavering.

In his view, the large number of mechanical monsters must have been generated from an instance. If they could locate that instance and destroy it, the threat would be eliminated.

Ritchie and Major Joseph both nodded in agreement.

"I believe the instance is underground in Valley City," Jeremy speculated. "Major Joseph, do you know of any place in Valley City that leads to the underground?"

Major Joseph frowned, thinking for a moment before replying, "I do know of a place that leads underground, but it's part of the city's drainage system. Do you think the entrance to the instance could be hidden within the underground drainage system?"

"That's absolutely impossible. My soldiers and I have conducted a thorough search of Valley City's drainage system. There is no instance entrance within the system," Major Joseph replied firmly.

Before Jeremy could respond, Ritchie interjected bluntly, "It's entirely possible that you and your team were deceived by the monsters! We've encountered creatures in Moonlight City that were completely invisible. If these mechanical monsters are hiding in a perfectly concealed instance, there's no way you could have detected it."

Ritchie's words struck a chord with Major Joseph.

"You're right! Then let's act quickly. The nearest access point to the underground drainage system is just a short distance from City Hall. Follow me!"

Without hesitation, Major Joseph led Jeremy and Ritchie into Valley City's underground drainage system.

Though Valley City wasn't a particularly large city, it had a long history, and its drainage system was incredibly intricate.

As they descended into the system, Major Joseph explained its layout.

"The underground drainage system of Valley City is divided into three main sections. The first section is the oldest, which is where we are now.

This is the original drainage system, built when the city was first established. Its design is extremely poor, so we need to be cautious while navigating here. There are numerous blind spots, and none of the water storage areas are particularly spacious. I doubt there's an instance entrance in this section.

If we continue down this path, it won't take long to reach the second section of Valley City's drainage system. The second section was built a hundred years ago, and it's much more advanced than the first. However, it doesn't have many electronic systems. The main improvements are its larger water storage areas and slightly better facilities.

Once we pass through a massive water reservoir, we'll arrive at the newest section of Valley City's drainage system. That's the third section, which was just recently constructed. It's the most advanced part of the system, equipped with all sorts of high-tech devices.

When we reach the third section, we'll be able to use the surveillance systems to get a clear overview of the entire drainage network."

With that explanation, they pressed forward, the dim and labyrinthine pathways of the ancient drainage system stretching out before them.

Major Joseph explained as he led Jeremy and Ritchie forward.

The three of them quickly traversed the oldest underground drainage system.

During their progress, they encountered no immediate danger. However, Jeremy felt they might have overlooked some critical information.

When they reached the second area, Jeremy suddenly noticed a strange glimmer of light flicker within one of the reservoirs.

"Be careful! There's an enemy here!" Jeremy shouted as he grabbed his weapon.

Reacting to Jeremy's warning, both Ritchie and Major Joseph immediately readied themselves for battle.

Jeremy's attack struck true, forcing the hidden creature in the reservoir to reveal itself. A grotesque, distorted catfish leaped out of the water.

The monstrous fish was covered in various warped organs, wrapped in layers of trash and debris. Its enormous body emanated a nauseating stench that filled the air.

The putrid odor caused Jeremy, Ritchie, and Major Joseph to feel a wave of dizziness.

"We need to finish this quickly! This monster is releasing toxic gas! If we don't deal with it fast, we'll be paralyzed in no time," Jeremy warned urgently. Experience more on empire

Spurred by his words, the three of them combined their efforts and managed to take down the massive catfish.

The moment the creature died, a loud explosion echoed from above.

Looking up, they saw a massive fireball hurtling toward their position from the drainage system above.

Without hesitation, Jeremy, Ritchie, and Major Joseph dashed deeper into the drainage system to escape.

The fireball narrowly missed them, crashing behind and forcing them further into the labyrinthine underground.

In the chaos of their escape, Jeremy and Ritchie became separated from Major Joseph.

Now lost without their guide, Jeremy and Ritchie wandered aimlessly through the underground drainage system.

Although Jeremy possessed the gift of The King of Time and Space, the intricate and convoluted structure of Valley City's drainage system made navigation nearly impossible. Additionally, the disruptive forces of the apocalypse game planning further hindered his abilities.

This interference rendered Jeremy incapable of using his powers to locate their position.

"We can't keep moving recklessly! If we do, we might end up completely lost down here!" Jeremy said, his tone filled with urgency.
