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

Chapter 28: Sky Skimmers, Center of Moonlight City



Gary writhed and howled on the ground, unable to even beg for mercy.

He melted at a visibly alarming rate, the smell of his charred flesh and blood permeating the air.

The fire of sin inflicted damage not only on the body but scorched the soul as well.

It was a kind of intense pain that stemmed from the depths of the soul, unbearable for most...

Jeremy remained indifferent to Garcia's actions and Gary's tragic state.

Seeing Garcia panic and try to flee, Jeremy moved swiftly like lightning and chased after him.

By then, Garcia had already run more than ten meters, his physical condition as a player was equally remarkable.

Turning his head and seeing Jeremy rapidly catching up, Garcia was scared out of his wits.

While running, he fumbled inside his coat, seemingly searching for something.

Jeremy certainly didn't give Garcia a chance. With a fierce stamp of his foot, his speed surged dramatically, propelling him forward like a cannonball and in the blink of an eye, he was behind Garcia.

Jeremy's eyes were cold as ice, his dual blades swung down without hesitation!

At this life-and-death moment, Garcia finally managed to retrieve the item from his coat.

It was a coin engraved with strange patterns.

[Item]: Leap Coin

[Type]: Consumable

[Rank]: Purple (Rare)

[Description]: Allows the player to perform a random leap within 100 meters once used, each Leap Coin can only be used once, with a cooldown time of 24 hours.

The next moment, Jeremy's long sword swung down fiercely.

A dark red blade light cut through the night!

Garcia's figure suddenly stiffened in place, a line of blood emerging on his neck.

He clutched his throat, his eyes full of unwillingness and despair.

He was so close, just a bit more and he could have escaped...

"Wham!"

Garcia's body fell heavily to the ground, his head and body separated, blood splattering everywhere.

The coin in his hand dropped to the ground, rolling a few times before coming to a stop at Jeremy's feet.

Garcia, dead!

Picking up the coin from the ground, Jeremy looked at its skill effect, somewhat surprised... He hadn't expected Garcia to have such a life-saving item on him.

Had he been a bit slower, the guy might have actually escaped.

Jeremy stored the Leap Coin in his storage space and turned to look behind him.

Gary's body had vanished, leaving only a pile of ashes in its place.

With a gust of wind, even the ashes disappeared without a trace.

Inhaling the strong scent of blood in the air, Jeremy's breath was heavy, the bloodlust in his eyes becoming more apparent.

His heart was tumultuous with uncontrolled ferocity.

"It starts again." Jeremy took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the uncontrollable killing intent inside him.

He could feel his symptoms worsening, the violence in his heart becoming increasingly difficult to suppress.

At this rate, Jeremy figured it wouldn't be long before he turned into a madman.

Once his emotions settled, the bloody hue in Jeremy's eyes slowly dissipated.

He approached and rummaged through the ghastly remains of four detectives.

To Jeremy's slight surprise, he found extraordinary items on all four of them.

[Item]: Basic Life Recovery Potion

[Type]: Consumable

[Grade]: Blue (Common)

[Description]: Upon use, the player can recover a certain amount of health. Cooldown time 15 minutes.

...

[Item]: Basic Stamina Recovery Potion

[Type]: Consumable

[Grade]: Blue (Common)

[Description]: Upon use, the player can recover a certain amount of stamina. Cooldown time 15 minutes.

...

[Item]: Basic Agility Enhancement Potion

[Type]: Consumable

[Grade]: Blue (Common)

[Description]: Upon use, the player gains 20 points of agility for a duration of 10 minutes. Cooldown time 30 minutes.

...

Jeremy found a total of 5 potions on the four men.

2 health recovery potions and 3 enhancement potions.

It seemed they had acquired quite a bit, likely looted from other players.

Afterward, Jeremy collected the firearms and ammunition from their bodies, tallying his loot.

1 Jump Coin, 5 enhancement and recovery potions, 5 APC-9 submachine guns, 5 Colt M1911A1 pistols, 637 CPA5 bullets, and 7 M67 grenades.

It was evident these guys came well-prepared.

The police station wasn't far from Moonlight Secondary School, and Jeremy thought he might visit there if he had the time.

Storing everything in his storage space, Jeremy felt some of his frustration from the escaped monster dissipate.

He continued towards the city center, carrying his knife.

...

Bonnie's psychology clinic was located in the most bustling commercial district at the city center.

That area was also one of the most dangerous places in the entire Moonlight City.

Jeremy couldn't just barge in recklessly. With his current strength, he would be overwhelmed by monsters in an instant, likely leaving nothing behind.

In this world, there's only one nation, "The Federation," governing five continents with a population reaching ten billion.

Although the Moonlight City was just a second-tier small city within the Federation, with a population of nearly ten million.

If even half of Moonlight City's population turned into monsters after the apocalypse, that would amount to five million – enough to fill 175 large stadiums... It was hard to imagine such a horrifying scene.

However, Jeremy had the skill of a Concealment Mask, allowing him to hide his presence. So as long as he was careful, sneaking by wouldn't be too difficult.

The problem was how he would get Claire out.

He decided he'd have to figure that out when the time came.

To avoid being surrounded by monsters, Jeremy didn't choose to walk on the monster-infested streets but instead decided to take to the rooftops.

With his current physical condition, traversing rooftops wasn't much of a challenge for him.

With a powerful leap, Jeremy jumped up and grabbed onto the wall, easily hopping onto the rooftop of a commercial building.

He looked out over the city, now shrouded in a layer of black mist under the night sky.

The towering buildings, like monsters lurking in the shadows, seemed as though they could choose someone to devour at any moment.

Jeremy only glanced briefly before his form leaped to the next rooftop, speeding towards the commercial district.

The commercial area of Moonlight City was about 7 kilometers from Moonlight Secondary School, a distance that would've been negligible under normal circumstances.

However, in this post-apocalyptic world, with roads blocked, Jeremy estimated it would take him at least an hour to reach, and that was under the assumption he didn't encounter any monsters.

But that was clearly impossible, as the sky was also filled with humanoid monsters with fleshy wings.

[Skyraker (Elite)]

[Level]: lv13

[Attack]: 617-637

[Defense]: 135

[Skills]: Skyraking, Pounce, Throw...

[Hint]: Extremely fast with weak defense. Slaying it after severing its wings yields a Tier 3 Energy Crystal.

These Skyrakers were stark naked, with lean bodies, fangs, and sharp claws, flying through the sky like bats.

As soon as they spotted a human within their sight, they would swoop down from the sky.

Either slashing open their skulls with their sharp claws or grabbing them to throw them to their deaths from mid-air.

Jeremy leaped across rooftops, and the Skyrakers in the sky clearly noticed him as an unusual prey. They began to circle and fly around him, seizing any opportunity to attempt a sneak attack.

[You have slain a level 13 Skyraker (Elite), earning 2207 experience points!]

With a swing of his blade, Jeremy cleaved an elite Skyraker in half, feeling somewhat irritated.

His progress was significantly slowed down by these Skyrakers, and their agility made them difficult targets. His only ranged skill was Sinfire, but its slow attack speed made it easy for the Skyrakers to dodge.

The only consolation was that the Skyrakers' defense wasn't high. As long as they got close enough, Jeremy could dispatch them with a single strike.

Soon, the Skyrakers got wise and started to throw stones and metal at Jeremy in groups.

Although this didn't pose much of a threat to Jeremy, it successfully maxed out his rage meter.

Jeremy stopped, found a safe spot on the rooftop, and pulled out a submachine gun from his storage space. Aiming at the Skyrakers in the sky, he pulled the trigger.

"Bang, bang, bang, bang!!!"

The dense gunfire erupted in the night, with bullets as if guided by sight, striking the bodies of the Skyrakers with precision.

Their defense was not strong enough to withstand the bullets. Hit by Jeremy, they immediately wailed and fell from the sky, some hitting the ground and splattering into a mess of flesh.

However, Jeremy's counterattack didn't make the group of Skyrakers back down. Instead, it fueled their ferocity.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak—!"

One after another, the Skyrakers let out piercing screams, attracting even more of their kind.

They gathered together, forming a dark cloud so dense it blotted out the sun!
