Chapter 32: Chapter 32: (Additional Release for More Follows) Where the Greatest Hope for Victory Lies!
However, the most significant meaning of this press conference was that it greatly reduced people’s fear of the Blood Demon, preventing further spread and intensification of panic and chaos worldwide.
The unknown is what’s truly scary.
By now, people at least knew who the enemy was and how they replaced their family and friends.
They even knew the enemy’s weaknesses.
Even if ordinary people still found it difficult to deal with the Blood Demons, at least they now had a clear impression.
No longer facing an unknown danger.
At this moment, all humans throughout the world holding rational minds and basic morals were genuinely grateful from the bottom of their hearts.
“Thank you for the selfless sharing, this information is invaluable!”
“From a small town in the Northern Alliance, I am prepared to photocopy this document and distribute it to everyone.”
“Blood Demon is a common enemy of all mankind!”
“People from different countries around the world should stand together!”
“Can you tell me the name of the Chosen One in the video? Seeing him slaying those Blood Demons, I suddenly felt a surge of immense courage.”
“My wife was very scared and dared not come near me, but she’s much better now, really thankful.”
“Envious efficiency, even more enviable order, I really wish I lived where you are.”
“…”
Messages continuously appeared on social media, and though there were some differing opinions, they were quickly suppressed.
It must be said that merely with this step, the Eastern Country and Shen Hao had significantly made a name for themselves worldwide.
Such occurrences were rare in the past.
In fact, many people in the world were now aware that the appearance of the Blood Demon was also an opportunity, an opportunity to further unite all of humanity.
Not just because of the crisis but also because of the unique properties of the Blood Demon.
For instance, at this moment, whether on the internet or in reality, anyone questioning the content released by the Eastern Country, or speaking of conspiracies that sounded plausible, could no longer achieve the effect they once did, and even faced fearful, doubtful, and alienating looks.
— People would inevitably suspect such individuals could be Blood Demons!
This was truly the most malicious suspicion!
It would cause one to be ostracized and even increase the risk of being targeted by the Blood Demons.
It must be said, everything has two sides; if a disaster could unite humanity, it too had its positive aspects.
However, all of this was predicated upon overcoming the challenge!
At this moment, Shen Hao had also returned to the conference room.
“The press conference is just a beginning,” Dong Gong explained to everyone while looking at an internal document. “A series of policies will be rolled out subsequently, including public announcements and the expansion of the Crisis Management Department, the recruitment and training of Chosen Ones, establishing a Blood Demon warning system, as well as the development of weapons and technology for Chosen Ones. Our society will undergo significant changes.”
“After all, we are in a state of war,” Shen Hao wasn’t surprised at all, “Everything will change, and not necessarily all for the worse.”
He stretched out his hand and lightly waved it.
Two USB drives immediately appeared on the table.
Chen Sihui and Jiang Weining, two researchers in the team, brightened at the sight.
Even the rest looked over curiously.
They had already guessed what these were.
Indeed, Shen Hao pushed the two USB drives toward Dong Gong.
“One contains rapid freezing material technology, and the other contains a type of sonic weapon technology. The former can be used to produce freezing bullets, while the latter is a non-lethal type, which can be popularized as a civil defense weapon. I found them in the White Level 3 Mall, although both are only basic versions, their total value still exceeds ten thousand points. Take them and let those scientists research and produce them as quickly as possible,” Shen Hao said.
“That’s already very impressive!” Dong Gong couldn’t even suppress his joy and excitement and stood up without hesitation. “Now, only you could buy such technologies. I’ll instruct someone to transfer them right away!”
Indeed, although technology could be directly purchased from the Chosen One Mall, the cost was steep, and required a certain Store Level, which could be said to be quite restrictive.
But even so, their significance to this war was tremendously great!
It could even be said that the technologies from the Chosen One Mall were the greatest hope for achieving victory in this war that could be seen!
After all, even though the number of Chosen Ones was still increasing, there were still too few; relying solely on Chosen Ones, it was challenging to win this war.
Time was on the enemy’s side!
But technological development could allow the entire Human Civilization to strengthen swiftly!
“Now, those big shots will all get busy,” Chen Sihui said admiringly, watching Dong Gong leave with the technology before licking a lollipop in her mouth, somewhat wishfully, “I heard that all capable scientists are being moved in batches to secure locations and heavily protected, all so that they can focus on their research.”
“That’s the right approach,” Cheng Youqing interjected. “Our enemy is not a witless Monster. If I were the Blood Demon, I would certainly target the scientists first!”
This statement made everyone’s expression darken slightly, but they couldn’t help but agree.
Scientists are likely candidates to become Chosen Ones and are the primary forces driving civilization forward. If the scientists suffered heavy losses, it would undoubtedly be a significant blow.
More importantly, they were also aware that the enemy would not stand there waiting to be killed.
They would be more cunning and more ruthless than any criminals before!
This awareness brought a somber mood to the scene.
While declarations of war could be invigorating, the real frontline of war was not solely about fervor.
At that moment, Shen Hao remained silent but when Dong Gong returned, he tapped the table to draw everyone’s attention.
“No matter what response the enemy has, we only have two things to focus on right now,” he said, raising two fingers. “First, enhance our strength as much as possible. Second, find and eliminate as many Blood Demons as possible.”
Everyone nodded slightly.
The atmosphere was likewise uplifted.
A team with a solid leadership is a true team. The same words coming from Shen Hao gave a different impression.
“The second point is particularly important,” Shen Hao looked at Dong Gong. “The more Blood Demons we resolve, the more points we get. As the level of the Point Mall increases, we can obtain more advanced technologies, equipment, and even greater power. Currently, in both our country and worldwide, probably no Chosen One can match my efficiency in this regard.”
