"Hu…" Theo took a deep breath. He had been flying for a whole day while killing all the monsters he encountered. However, he could barely reach Texas even with his strength.
He checked his body condition and muttered, "As expected, the enemies might not be that strong, but there are so many of them. Even with my current strength, the process drains my Magic Power quite a bit.
"This is probably the reason why the monster usually doesn't leave their nest. Well, if you take a look at it, I can be equal to a World Class Monster. Ruth, Felix, and Rea are King Class Monsters. General Class Monsters are the rest of the group, with Elite and Normal Class Monsters being the military.
"Looking at this parison, we have a pretty similar system. Though, in my case, I can't mobilize the military easily."
"Anyway, that's not important. What I should worry about is my next course. If I continue this way, I should be able to find the World Class Monster within two days. Though, I should watch out for King Class Monsters surrounding that monster.
"Hopefully, I can gain some understanding from the World Class Monster, and it'll help me find this pillar hidden somewhere in Mexico," Theo muttered while scratching the back of his head.
With this thought in mind, Theo continued advancing through all kinds of hurdles. He killed the monsters without hesitation. Although he found some humans roaming in the street or some bases that still stood after two years since the apocalypse, he didn't talk to them. He just saved them by killing the monsters around that area before moving on.
Unbeknownst to him, there was actually a movement in Chile.
Underground.
There was a room filled with ten people. The room seemed to have been reinforced by thick concrete, making sure nothing could destroy it.
In the middle of the room was a huge round table that could acmodate all ten people.
One of the people sitting among them was a woman with short spiky blond hair. She had a scar from her forehead to her right cheek, blinding her right eye.
In her mouth was a cigarette she had lit up a moment ago. Despite showing such a fierce smile, she was wearing a formal suit, toning down her excitement.
With a smile, she glanced to the right, finding a bald old man.
"What's wrong, old man? Everything is under control, right?"
"I'm afraid not. We don't know what is happening, but the people we've sent to check the trash on the shore have disappeared. I'm assuming they've died."
"Mhm?" She furrowed her eyebrows. "If I remember correctly, they were your elites, right?"
"Yeah. They were the ones observing them this whole time, but this was the first time we had lost contact with them. So…"
"You are assuming they're attacked by those monsters?"
"Yeah." The old man sighed while looking at the blue-haired man on the opposite side. "Why don't you get to work this time?"
"We've sent our investigation team as well. But a third of them suddenly disappeared yesterday. For now, I'm pulling it out for the moment." The blue-haired man shook his head helplessly. "Though, I do have one important piece of news."
"What is it?" The woman asked.
"One of the teams actually believed that they saw a monster releasing a colorful Magic Power."
"!!!" The people widened their eyes in shock. Having another color of Magic Power meant they were a King Class Monster, so they couldn't underestimate whatever they were dealing with right now.
The woman closed her eyes for a moment and asked, "What about our munication station? Have they been rebuilt?"
"Too many technicians died after the apocalypse, so we couldn't progress too much. However, we managed to set up a munication network for the people around us. But…"
"But what?" The woman felt something bad.
As she expected, the news wasn't something pleasant to the ear.
"We're building a radio station right now, but I'm afraid the radio waves can be sensed by the monsters. In other words, with such a huge building to try to connect to the rest of the world…"
He paused, delivering enough messages for the woman.
"I see. It seems that the tower is actually bringing them here." The woman pinched the bridge of her nose. "The fact that there is a King Class supervising it means this action is started by the will of a World Class Monster.
"Although I am among the top ten experts in the world, I don't have confidence in fighting the rest. My rank is high due to my support ability, not my fighting prowess. So, what should we do with a threat like this?"
The man who reported about their connection raised his hand and added, "Of course, the munication network is a success despite having such a fatal flaw. We've tried sending messages to a much farther area.
"It seems that there is a huge base in our north. We don't know too much about it, but the base is huge enough to function as a country."
"Our north… Americans?"
"Most likely."
She contemplated for a moment. "Are you suggesting abandoning this place and heading to the US Base?"
Since they managed to protect their connection to the satellites for months, they were aware of the US Base. However, it was still an unstable base since the apocalypse had just begun.
And after two years, the man confirmed that the base managed to withstand everything and appear as a safe haven.
So, they believed the base was their chance to survive.
"If that's the case, then the Time God has been protecting that place this whole time. It's indeed a good place to migrate. But there are numerous monsters, especially in Mexico. So, how in the world can we reach that place?" The woman bit her lips. Although she wanted to have some hope, she had to be realistic.
"Still, it's better than letting the monster kill us like this. We don't know what they're doing either, but there is one thing for sure. Whatever they're planning to do, it'll be a devastating blow to us.
"We currently have numbers, but if we retreat after they attack us… we won't have enough people to fight the World Class Monster in Mexico." A brown-haired woman suddenly opened her mouth, suggesting the plan to her.
