Chapter 59: Chapter 59: Sweep! Sweep!
While Shen Hao was performing precise demon-slaying with Thunder from above, the soldiers below also demonstrated a high degree of order.
It was only in the initial chaos that some people quickly came to their senses.
“Spread out! Stay alert!” shouts kept ringing out.
Even if some Blood Demons knew they could not escape, arising in a frenzy driven by instinctual fear, they were quickly suppressed.
The whole process lasted less than two minutes.
Efficient, precise, ferocious!
When the Thunder in the high sky dissipated, there were no longer any Blood Demons within the range of Shen Hao’s map!
“Forty-six thousand points.”
That was the number of points Shen Hao had earned in those one to two minutes.
Although it was far less than the points he gained in the previous hospital event, if the number of such “Demon Caves” were to increase, it could be very troublesome.
In fact, this situation, with Blood Demons scattered across a vast area, is the current domestic norm, and facing such a scenario, only Shen Hao could achieve such terrifying efficiency.
After all, he was genuinely “hacking and grinding points.”
“There are no more Blood Demons,” Shen Hao flew around high in the sky, confirmed there were no remnants, and flew directly towards the circling airplane, “Retreat, to the next location.”
“Yes!” The other members of the group could already imagine that such scenes would likely happen frequently over the next few days.
If the number of Blood Demons was not large enough or spread wide enough, there would virtually be no opportunity for them to take action.
“Surely the national Blood Demons won’t just be cleaned up by the team leader alone.” Song Cheng couldn’t help but say on the communication channel, “That would be too easy.”
“Isn’t easy good? What, do you want more of a challenge?” Cheng Youqing laughed.
“No, what I mean is, Blood Demons won’t just sit still and wait to be killed,” Song Cheng quickly explained, “After all, they are intelligent beings.”
“So what if they won’t?” Liu Ruoxi rarely joined in the discussion, “If Parasite Failures are the natural predators of Blood Demons, then our team leader is the Blood Demons’ Heavenly Punishment, their doomsday! No matter how they struggle, in the face of doomsday, they can only despair and wait for death.”
These words were confidently stated, yet no one could refute them.
Because that was indeed the case!
Parasite Failures could only identify Blood Demons and grow stronger by killing them.
But Shen Hao could find Blood Demons across a large area and bring down Heavenly Punishment, sweeping clean in a short time!
One was a natural predator, but the other was a genuine calamity!
The more they discussed, the more excited the atmosphere within the group became.
In fact, it was not just them; Shen Hao’s performance injected a strong dose of confidence in everyone aware of his actions, especially the army that had just finished sweeping. These warriors had realized that they no longer needed to worry whether their comrades beside them were Blood Demons, and they had unprecedented confidence in winning the war comprehensively!
Having lost the abilities to parasitize and hide, those Blood Demons were merely a group of enemies that would die when killed!
“Really amazing, team leader, with this efficiency, not only could all active-duty soldiers be vetted within five days, but even the recalled ones could be vetted as well,” Dong Gong also spoke on the channel at this moment.
The recall of retired soldiers had begun on the first day the Blood Demons were discovered.
However, among these retired soldiers, there would definitely be a substantial number of Blood Demons.
So, they were only called back and had not been issued weapons, nor formally activated.
It was initially thought that it would at least take the discovery of a method for identifying Blood Demons on a large scale before these veterans could be deployed into battle, but no one expected that Shen Hao would suddenly, as though flipping a switch, possess the ability to identify Blood Demons en masse.
This identification range, this cleansing efficiency, even if it were just him alone—it would be enough!
“You are in charge of coordinating all parties, arranging everything related to the review, and I,” Shen Hao, seated in the airplane chair, slightly intensified his tone, “will be responsible for one thing only—cleansing, cleansing, and more cleansing!”
“Yes!” Dong Gong responded!
Indeed, that was the only thing Shen Hao was going to do next!
After understanding his ability range and cleansing efficiency, the burden became heavier, even preparing a supersonic fighter to minimize travel time and maximize efficiency!
It must be said that the Blood Demons clearly had the intention of infiltrating the military and administrative layers, even though precautions and preventive measures were now in place. Still, during the month the Blood Demons remained hidden, they managed to achieve a significant infiltration.
The military and key sectors had discovered the presence of Blood Demons.
Fortunately, Shen Hao’s timely interference meant the situation didn’t worsen.
In just a few days, he and his team relentlessly traveled from one location to another, conducting the “cleansing plan” with astonishing efficiency.
Although they hadn’t made public the schedule for these days, most countries around the world had already guessed what Shen Hao was doing. As Dong Gong put it, “international aid requests” were coming in like snowflakes.
Unfortunately, for both Shen Hao and the overall situation of the Blood Demon war, the most crucial thing was to clean up domestically first.
The future international battlefield must have a strong logistical base.
Moreover, the Blood Demons, without a doubt cunning, had evidently noticed his cleansings of the military and key departments and managed not to let a single Blood Demon Mother get captured, despite having captured the tails of several and not being able to determine the location of the Mother.
However, even so.
Being able to escape the current cleansing might not mean escaping the upcoming nationwide cleansing!
At this moment, the Blood Demon Mothers must be in fear, perhaps even preparing to flee?
Shen Hao narrowed his eyes slightly—who said only the ones undergoing the Trial could feel despair?
…
Indeed, it was just as Shen Hao had thought.
On the fourth day of the cleansing plan, nearly ten Blood Demon Mothers finally managed to come together.
This was a dark place in the wilderness, where the night forest provided the best shelter. Dozens of figures of different ages and distinctly different attire stood together without any hierarchy in their positioning.
Clearly, this was a meeting of the Blood Demon Mothers. Though only their offspring were present, at this moment, it was their mothers’ consciousness that descended upon them.
The atmosphere on site was very heavy.
“The talent of that Chosen One is at least of Legendary level!” At the start of the meeting, a Mother hoarsely voiced the information it had confirmed, “He can instantly pinpoint the location of all our kind within a fifty-kilometer radius.”
“Fifty kilometers?” The scene stirred.
The Mothers could not hide their terror.
They wanted to win this war, to revive their civilization, and the stealth provided by their Parasitic Ability was crucial.
But now, had this ability been rendered useless from the start?
