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

Upon hearing Bonnie's cry for help over the phone, Jeremy's expression turned exceedingly alarmed.

"What exactly is going on? Why are you alone in the instance? Didn't Uncle prevent you from taking action?" Jeremy asked three questions in rapid succession.

However, it was clear that Bonnie on the other end of the line wouldn't be answering any of these questions.

Bonnie's call had barely lasted a moment, and her plea for help was abruptly cut off before she could finish speaking. This unequivocally indicated that the situation Bonnie was facing was extremely dire.

At this juncture, Jeremy found himself unable to further collaborate with Howard and the others in delving deeper into the instance.

With a tone tinged with a slight sense of regret, he remarked, "You all must have heard Bonnie's call just now, right? She's in grave danger, and we must expedite our efforts to rescue her."

Howard had indeed heard Bonnie's cries for help over the phone.

However, from Howard's perspective, even if they rushed to her aid immediately, it would still be too late.

The reason being, they were currently situated within an instance, and extricating themselves from it would require a significant amount of time. Additionally, Bonnie hadn't specified which instance she was trapped in.

"You go rescue her, we'll remain in this instance. Once you have successfully brought her back, we'll regroup here and then deal with this instance."

Although Howard believed that, despite Jeremy's swift actions, the likelihood of successfully rescuing Bonnie was slim at best.

Nonetheless, he had to show some respect to Bonnie's father, Benjamin, who was, after all, the mayor of Moonlight City. Naturally, Howard couldn't prevent Jeremy from attempting to save Bonnie.

"Alright, let's proceed according to your plan!"

With those words, Jeremy immediately dashed towards the instance's entrance at breakneck speed.

Watching Jeremy's figure gradually fade into the distance, Howard couldn't help but let out a sigh and remarked, "Humanity indeed faces an enormous crisis, but in my view, these challenges stem not only from the apocalypse game. The more significant issue lies in the fact that there are simply too many among us holding everyone back."

After making this statement, Howard turned his gaze toward his subordinates.

"Under no circumstances should you engage in actions like Bonnie did. Without my explicit orders, do not act alone. Even though the instances around the train station aren't particularly challenging.Once their intensity escalates, those who aren't exceptionally powerful awakened beings will certainly not be safe within them."

Upon hearing these instructions, Howard's subordinates naturally nodded in agreement.

In truth, Howard's subordinates also felt that Bonnie's decision to act alone this time was somewhat hasty.

While they were unaware of the precise extent of Bonnie's abilities, it was evident from Jeremy and Howard's reactions that neither had foreseen Bonnie's solo endeavor.

To Howard's subordinates, Bonnie's actions clearly illustrated that she was a young lady more likely to ruin things than achieve success.

At this moment, Howard's thoughts diverged from those of his subordinates.

Howard was contemplating whether to inform Benjamin of Bonnie's current predicament.

After all, Benjamin had the capacity to mobilize additional resources. If Howard informed Benjamin of Bonnie's situation, Benjamin could potentially persuade Ella to mount a rescue mission for Bonnie.

Although, even if Ella set out immediately, it is highly unlikely she would be able to rescue Bonnie in time.

However, as long as Ella manages to reach the vicinity of the train station, she probably wouldn't leave easily. By then, Ella could assist Howard in clearing the instances around the train station.

With this thought in mind, Howard, after pondering for a while, ultimately decided to inform Benjamin about the situation.

Howard took out his phone and directly called Benjamin.

At this moment, Benjamin was in his office at Moonlight City Hall, dealing with various matters both big and small.

Benjamin unhesitatingly answered Howard's call.

"Aren't you supposed to be incredibly busy right now? With the instances having been significantly strengthened, shouldn't all your focus be on clearing the instances around Moonlight City? So why do you have time to call me?"

Benjamin asked Howard in a relaxed tone.

In actuality, over the past few days, Benjamin hadn't had many opportunities to meet with Howard.

This was because Howard had been preoccupied with handling the instances and monsters around Moonlight City.

"I need to inform you of some rather unpleasant news. Try not to get too anxious upon hearing it, as Jeremy is already addressing the issue."

Howard's tone was exceedingly cautious.

Upon hearing this, Benjamin's expression turned somewhat tense. He set down the pen he was holding and asked Howard seriously.

"What exactly has happened? From what I remember, you're not someone who hesitates. Why aren't you telling me directly what's going on?"

Since Benjamin had already inquired in such a manner, Howard had no choice but to divulge the situation.

"I just received information that your daughter Bonnie is trapped in an instance near the train station. Based on the intelligence I have, her current situation appears to be extremely perilous.

Although Jeremy has already set out to rescue her, I believe that relying solely on Jeremy might not be sufficient for a successful rescue. If you can mobilize others to assist in rescuing Bonnie, I think the chances of success would be higher."

Upon hearing what Howard had said, Benjamin's expression turned extremely panicked.

"Which specific instance around the train station is my daughter trapped in? You need to clarify this immediately! If you can't provide clear information, how can I send people to rescue her?!"

As Bonnie's father, Benjamin was undoubtedly very concerned about his daughter's safety.

"I don't know the exact instance in which your daughter is trapped, so if you want to send people, just deploy them around the train station. I will assist them."

After saying this, Howard waited for Benjamin's response. However, he waited for a long time, and there was still no sound from the other end of the line.

Upon learning the general situation, Benjamin rushed out of his office immediately.

Benjamin stormed into his secretary's office, saying, "You need to immediately gather every awakened individual we can muster. Have them head to the vicinity of the train station at once!"

Benjamin's secretary was startled by his abrupt behavior.

He asked Benjamin, slightly confused, "Mayor, why are we doing this? And honestly, we don't have that many awakened individuals available. Most of them are in the military and the Black Dragon Squad."

Benjamin was infuriated by his secretary's questioning.

He shouted directly at him, "Just follow my orders immediately and don't ask why!"

Faced with Benjamin's current demeanor, his secretary naturally dared not offer any objections. He could only hastily contact all the awakened individuals he knew.

However, when it came to reaching the Black Dragon Squad, Benjamin's secretary ran into some trouble.

The captain of the Black Dragon Squad was Ella.

Ella would not take orders from Benjamin's secretary. When she received the call, she bluntly told him:

"You have no authority to issue orders to me. If you want the Black Dragon Squad to be deployed, let Mayor Benjamin personally issue the command." Ella retorted.

No sooner had Ella finished speaking than Benjamin's voice came through the other end of the line.

"Captain Ella, since you require me to issue the order, I am doing so now. You must lead all members of the Black Dragon Squad and get to the train station as quickly as possible.

At the train station, you will meet Howard, who will inform you of the specific situation. All I can tell you right now is that my daughter is trapped in an instance, and you must rescue her as swiftly as possible." Benjamin instructed urgently.

Having said so much in one breath, Benjamin left Ella on the other end of the line deeply shocked.

"Why is your daughter trapped in an instance? Wasn't she supposed to enter the instance with Jeremy? Given Jeremy's capabilities, there shouldn't be any significant trouble." Ella questioned, still in disbelief.

Ella had barely finished asking her questions when Benjamin's furious roar echoed through the phone.

"Now is not the time for these questions! My daughter's situation is extremely dire. What you need to do is get to the vicinity of the train station immediately and rescue her from the instance." Benjamin bellowed.

It was only then that Ella finally grasped the urgency of the situation.

She hastily hung up on Benjamin and, with the utmost speed, sent out a mobilization order to all members of the Black Dragon Squad. However, many members of the Black Dragon Squad were currently on leave, making it impossible for them to return promptly.

After Ella had gathered all the Black Dragon Squad members who were closest to her location, she addressed them directly and forthrightly.

"We cannot afford to wait for those members who are on leave to return. We must depart for the train station immediately! Mayor Benjamin's daughter is trapped in an instance near the train station."
