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

Chapter 42: Howard Arrives, Jeremy Should Go to Hell



"Roar! Roar! Roar!"

The commotion from the special forces attracted the attention of many monsters.

Noticing there were over a thousand humans, countless monsters immediately surged towards them in a frenzy.

"Don't engage in battle. Save him first!" Benjamin knew they couldn't afford to waste precious time on these monsters. He quickly ordered the special forces to advance towards Jeremy's location.

All special forces received the order and immediately changed direction.

The square was filled with smoke and littered with corpses.

Facing the onslaught of monsters, the more than a thousand special forces soldiers fought as they advanced, holding assault rifles and rifles, spitting fire like sharp knives cutting directly into the horde of monsters.

At this time, Claire also joined the battle.

She borrowed an assault rifle from a special forces soldier, her eyes flashing with purple light.

With the aid of her psychic power, every bullet she fired hit a monster's head with deadly accuracy.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Among the special forces, Dana threw out five or six grenades in quick succession. The intense explosions suppressed the roaring of the monsters and the sound of gunfire, tearing a gap in the monster horde that hadn't yet fully gathered.

Taking advantage of the monsters not yet rallying, the special forces quickly advanced.

Before long, they caught sight of Jeremy.

He was covered in blood, the flames on his body about to extinguish, but it seemed he could hold on until they reached him.

Just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief, a commander-level mutant black wolf suddenly appeared behind Jeremy.

Everyone's heart skipped a beat, not even having a chance to warn him.

"Howl!"

The commander-level mutant black wolf moved swiftly, its claws striking Jeremy's arm.

"Splat!"

Blood splattered!

Jeremy's arm was badly mangled, the wound deep enough to reveal bone.

His body trembled, and the fiery blade fell from his hand to the ground, leaving him weaponless in an instant.

Everyone's heart was in their throat!

"Rescue him now!!!" Benjamin roared.

And Claire was already rushing towards Jeremy!

"Fuck!"

The intense pain in his arm unleashed Jeremy's ferocity. He let out a furious roar, and his eyes, which had been dim, suddenly burst into a wild, fierce light.

With his other hand, Jeremy swiftly reached out, grabbed the mutant black wolf by the neck, and twisted with all his might!

"Crack!"

The grating sound of breaking bones echoed through the crowd of beasts!

Jeremy had twisted the neck of the mutant black wolf into a grotesque angle, instantly killing the commander-level creature!

At the same time, Jeremy's strength was spent. He fell into unconsciousness, yet he remained standing upright.

All the monsters watched this scene in fear, hesitating to advance on Jeremy.

Seizing this opportunity, Claire, with the cover of others, rushed to Jeremy's side.

She then pulled Jeremy up and quickly retreated.

"Roar!!!"

A group of monsters, enraged, charged at Claire in unison.

Claire's face turned pale, overwhelmed by the sheer number of monsters.

In the special forces, Dana shouted loudly, "Cover them!!"

Without needing his reminder, the others had already begun aiming and firing at the monsters.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The commercial square was once again filled with the sound of intense gunfire, instantly killing all monsters charging towards Claire and Jeremy.

The special forces quickly stepped forward, firmly protecting Jeremy and Claire at the center.

"How is Jeremy?!" Benjamin hurried over to check on Jeremy's condition.

He found Jeremy covered in horrifying wounds, not a single patch of skin unmarred, his breathing extremely faint.

Despite being at death's door, Jeremy was indeed still alive.

Benjamin let out a sigh of relief, and without a word, pulled out a purple potion from his bosom and injected it into Jeremy.

Claire noticed it was a mid-level life healing potion, even more precious than any she had used before, so she did not stop him.

After using the mid-level life healing potion, Jeremy's condition quickly stabilized, though he remained unconscious.

Both Benjamin and Claire breathed a sigh of relief.

Saving his life was what mattered most.

Claire sincerely thanked him, "Thank you, Mayor. We will surely repay this life-saving grace in the future!"

The mid-level life healing potion alone was incredibly precious, not to mention the rest.

"Stay here and take good care of him!" Benjamin shook his head, not saying much else.

He gave Claire a command and then headed outside with his weapon.

Although Jeremy had been saved, the situation was still dire.

They had ventured too deep, and now the special forces were surrounded by densely packed monsters.

Benjamin saw nothing but a sea of monsters outside, easily numbering in the tens of thousands, a truly terrifying sight.

The more than a thousand special forces soldiers might seem numerous.

But facing tens of thousands of monsters, they were like a small boat in the ocean, at risk of capsizing at any moment.

If it weren't for their experience and prior preparation.

The special forces could have been easily overwhelmed and swallowed by the sea of monsters in the blink of an eye.

Although the monsters were temporarily stymied by the special forces team's formidable firepower, they couldn't do anything about them for the time being.

However, if things continued like this, they were all bound to die here sooner or later.

"Bang!"

After blowing the head off an attacking monster, Benjamin wiped the blood from his face and gritted his teeth, "Howard, if you don't show up soon, get ready to collect our bodies!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Just then, the sound of artillery fire suddenly erupted from behind the commercial square.

Everyone was taken aback.

Then, their faces lit up with joy.

They knew what this sound meant!

Howard and his men had arrived!

Benjamin's face also brightened as he roared, "Hold on, everyone! Reinforcements have arrived!"

Hearing this, the spirits of all the special forces members were lifted.

Their previously waning morale now flared up like a flame once more.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Amid the fierce artillery fire, they killed monster after monster.

Despite being outnumbered, the tens of thousands of monsters were still unable to breach the special forces' tight defense line.

The rumbling from the direction of the commercial square grew louder and louder.

Finally, Howard, dressed in military uniform, appeared in Benjamin and the others' line of sight.

Behind him, there were armored vehicles and tanks, as well as soldiers dressed in military uniforms!

When Howard saw the scene in the commercial square, he was momentarily stunned, not expecting the battle to have reached such a dire state.

However, he immediately grasped the urgency of the situation.

Without hesitation, Howard bellowed, "Everyone, charge with me!"

"Whoosh!"

Behind Howard, a group of soldiers responded in unison, with the neat sound of their firearms being loaded.

Following that, the sound of artillery fire, many times denser than that of the special forces, erupted in the commercial square.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Dense bullets rained down on the monsters like a curtain, causing blossoms of blood to spring up on their bodies.

Many monsters were perforated before they could even react.

The sheer number of monsters in the commercial square was overwhelming.

The soldiers didn't even need to aim. Just firing their guns would guarantee a hit.

Simultaneously, following Howard's order, tanks charged into the horde of monsters like ferocious beasts.

The cannons on the tanks rotated, targeting the densest clusters of monsters, and fired round after round.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Several shells exploded among the monsters, each one claiming the lives of a dozen monsters.

Though they evolved quickly, the ordinary monsters could not yet withstand the attack of tank shells.

In an instant, the commercial square was littered with limbs and filled with smoke and dust.

The once terrifying tide of beasts was instantly torn open by the fierce artillery fire, creating a huge gap.

The special forces, seizing the opportunity, coordinated with Howard from inside and out, and quickly retreated.

When the special forces emerged, Emma, Ritchie, Bonnie, and others saw Jeremy, covered in wounds and unconscious.

Everyone fell silent.

On their way here, they had learned what Jeremy was facing, but no one expected him to have ventured into the commercial district and into such grave danger.

"Jeremy, don't scare me!" Seeing Jeremy bloodied and motionless, Emma almost fainted on the spot.

Claire wiped the blood off her face and calmly said, "He's fine, just unconscious."

Hearing Claire's words, Emma breathed a sigh of relief.

She was about to express her gratitude when she noticed Claire.

"Dr. Claire?" Seeing Claire, Emma's expression stiffened for a moment.

Then, without another word, she silently walked over to Jeremy and began to heal him using her abilities.

Claire did not look at Emma again. Instead, she turned her gaze towards the battlefield, her expression unreadable, lost in thought.

The atmosphere between the two was subtly awkward, and everyone could sense that something was off.

Bonnie glanced at them, then suddenly clenched her teeth and said, "Jeremy, that scumbag, truly deserves to die!"

Initially, she had been touched by Jeremy's solo venture into the commercial district.

She thought that, although Jeremy was a flawed person, there were aspects of his character worth admiring, such as his courage.

However, upon seeing Claire, a woman's intuition instantly made Bonnie aware that there was something unusual about their relationship.

Putting together the fact that Jeremy had suddenly run to the commercial district, Bonnie immediately understood.

Jeremy had come here purely to save this woman!

Now, Bonnie felt it would be better if Jeremy never woke up.

Despite already being involved with Emma, he was still messing around with another woman.

Such a man deserved to go to hell!
