Chapter 42: Chapter 42: Parasite Failure
Shen Hao had been vying for time with the matrix the previous night, and after the whole night, he had already fully understood the matrix’s style.
At this moment, he no longer hoped to uncover more information, so he turned away and left without looking back.
The drone’s camera, in this moment, focused on the Blood Demon’s incredulous and furiously angry gaze, which even carried a clear sense of fear.
However, it now had to personally kill over a thousand of its offspring because these offspring had all been stripped of their will by awe.
Subsequently, all the Blood Demons emitted cries of agony and a mist of blood arose from them.
Including the so-called Level 4 Blood Demon, all turned into dried-up corpses in the wake of Shen Hao’s departure.
It was as if they were honoring the king with their own deaths!
This scene was faithfully recorded and rapidly broadcasted throughout the entire country, even the whole world!
It left an unforgettable impression on all who witnessed it and injected immense courage into those who were steeped in fear.
At least they now knew that humans could be so powerful!
However, garnering more fans unintentionally was not Shen Hao’s biggest gain this time.
Points were.
Over sixteen hundred Blood Demons, in one breath, brought him a total of three hundred and forty thousand points and about two hundred dropped items!
More than what he had gained the entire previous night!
Especially that Level 4 Blood Demon.
Shen Hao had paid special attention to it, controlling this Level 4 Blood Demon had provided him with over three thousand two hundred points, which was more than fifteen times the norm for ordinary Blood Demons.
Of course, given the strength of this Blood Demon, the number of points was actually too few.
But there had been a Blue Talent drop!
[Electric Shock]
In the past, Shen Hao had acquired many [Basic Electric Shock], but this ability lacked the word “basic” and was also a Blue Rare Level.
Obviously, it was more powerful.
However, after a brief consideration, Shen Hao still did not rush to use it.
Firstly, his personal strength hadn’t hit a ceiling yet; adding such a purely offensive method didn’t really matter at this point.
Secondly, although the Blue Talent was good, it was just Rare Level, and he wasn’t aware of the ability bar’s substitution situation, there was no rush to use it, keeping each slot available for a better ability.
Thirdly, perhaps due to his cheating-level acquisition of the Mythical Talent, Shen Hao also anticipated that, in selecting future abilities, he might similarly cheat.
“There are less than thirty thousand points left until the Level 4 Mall,” Shen Hao checked his total points at this point.
The upgrade of the mall was undeniably crucial for the trials; he had a faint premonition that the White Level 4 Mall might undergo a transformation.
After all, five hundred thousand points was theoretically a significant threshold.
If not for the Blood Demons coming in droves, even he wouldn’t have accumulated this many points so quickly.
“Continue to examine other key facilities,” Shen Hao boarded the helicopter and ordered.
“Yes!” Dong Gong’s voice was filled with vigor.
Clearly, the influence of Shen Hao’s unbeatable power affected not just the ordinary civilians.
But also those who were fighting on the front lines!
As the news began to spread, and as more and more people learned that Shen Hao had eliminated over fifteen hundred Blood Demons in an instant, including so-called Level 4 Blood Demons, both the Chosen Ones and ordinary warriors grew increasingly spirited in battle.
Even ordinary people became more cooperative.
For they knew that the balance of victory in the battle of Donghua City had overwhelmingly tipped in their favor the moment Shen Hao stepped forward and displayed such formidable power!
Victory was now just a matter of time.
Afterwards, Shen Hao also began to get busy.
Starting from vital departments, one after another was quickly scrutinized; many Blood Demons were still dug out, either by revealing themselves because they knew they could not hide, or by attempting to prematurely flee, trying to escape the city’s blockade. However, their scales were not large and in front of Shen Hao, they couldn’t even accomplish a final bloody slaughter, each turning into points.
The examination among the civilians also started to proceed in an orderly manner.
From one neighborhood to another, all the residents of the entire city appeared before Shen Hao in sequential order, striving for not a single one to be missed.
And somewhat reassuringly, the number and incidence of Blood Demons were clearly decreasing.
…
“It seems that the Third Hospital is probably the biggest Demon Cave,” Dong Gong spoke over the communication channel, “We’ve already reviewed one million one hundred twelve thousand people, with this efficiency, it will all be done in no more than two days, team leader, you’ve worked hard.”
“This isn’t tough, the sooner we clean out the Blood Demons, the better,” said Shen Hao, who was by then aboard a helicopter, looking at the summary report just handed to him.
It was already ten o’clock at night, and the review had not yet stopped.
Including yesterday, a total of three thousand six hundred twenty-four Blood Demons had been found and dealt with.
At present, only Donghua No.1 Middle School and Donghua Third Hospital were the areas heavily infested with Blood Demon parasites, other places were much better.
It is estimated that the total number of Blood Demons should be around five thousand or so,
roughly one thousandth of Donghua City’s total population.
But considering that the Blood Demons had appeared for no more than a month, this ratio was actually quite alarming.
Because the spread of Blood Demons would accelerate, if really left unchecked, it would turn into something like that town in the Northern Alliance, where in just one month, all eight thousand plus people in the town became Blood Demons!
“In addition, the mood of the public is gradually stabilizing, we keep adjusting and optimizing the review process, the probability of civilian casualties is constantly decreasing…” Dong Gong continued his verbal report.
Realizing the potential countermeasures of the Blood Demons, they were also constantly adjusting their strategy.
They no longer notified civilians to come out for review, but instead deployed military assaults to quickly take over every floor’s entrance, then let the civilians come out of their rooms in sequence, keeping a distance.
In the latest review, when over twenty Blood Demons burst into attack in a neighborhood, there were zero casualties.
Only a dozen civilians were injured, and the most severely injured was no longer in life-threatening danger, which was clearly an inspiring achievement.
It must be said, human experience in the war against Blood Demons was also growing at an astonishing rate.
Though Donghua City was fortunate to become the first city to be cleared of Blood Demons, it also became the “Experience Pack” for all regions nationwide, and the war experience gained here would bring great help to other regions, even to the whole world.
And at this moment.
Shen Hao had flipped to the final part of the report when he suddenly raised his eyebrows.
“Found seven suspected Parasite Failures?”
