Chapter 57 The Most Precious Thing
When some people hearing it for the first time, they were clearly surprised.
To identify Blood Demons and even become stronger through hunting them!
This was almost equivalent to being half a Chosen One, especially the ability to identify Blood Demons, which no other Chosen One could presently accomplish.
Although, the situation being what it was, even if one was clear-headed and resolute, the chances of Parasite Failure remained low.
But, having the Matrix at hand, one practically possessed the potential to create Parasite Failures in bulk!
If targeted research were conducted, it might not be impossible to enhance the odds.
Suddenly, not just Shen Hao, but everyone in the group once again turned their gaze towards Jiang Weining.
"If there were no Chosen One, this method might just be the humans' greatest hope in defeating the Blood Demons," murmured Song Qing, "what does Mr. Jiang say, can it increase the success rate?"
"We still don't know what specifically affects the Parasite Failure rate, however..." Jiang Weining also felt the pressure immensely, and even spoke with some difficulty, "To truly obtain efficient and quick results from this research, animal experimentation might not be useful, and human experimentation can't be avoided."
"Don't worry about that," interjected Dong Gong at this moment, "Within an hour after this information was released, a wartime act involving 'death row inmates participating in Blood Demon Parasite experiments' was passed in the high-level meeting, though, it still nominally adheres to the principle of volunteerism."
"Volunteerism now?" Shen Hao raised an eyebrow.
"There's more to it," Dong Gong shook his head, "During such special times, punishments are stricter. If one refuses, then a death sentence is immediately carried out... Actually, this principle of volunteerism is just more for appearances and to somewhat mobilize the cooperation of the death row inmates. In times like these, one cannot afford to be overly old-fashioned."
At this point, there was nobody who didn't understand.
Shen Hao also nodded his head.
So many people had already died, mostly civilians, and the number of victims was increasing every moment, this was certainly not a war where there was room to preach morality or mercy!
Everything that could increase the chances of winning needed to be pursued with all efforts!
"Actually, even if there's only a one in ten chance, a real ten-to-one death survival rate, many people would volunteer for the experiment," suddenly mentioned Yang Jun, "especially in the military, which even in this era, will never lack heroes with the spirit of fearlessness."
"But it's not yet so dire," Shen Hao shook his head, "Let's try to enhance the probability as much as possible first. Some drugs and resources from the store might help, let's try them out. Having a controlled Matrix, in this regard, we can confidently say we are ahead."
Everyone present nodded in agreement, some looking at Shen Hao with clear admiration in their eyes.
Three days! In just three days, to capture a living Matrix!
Considering the importance of the Matrix, without Shen Hao, this war might have been dozens of times more difficult!
And Dong Gong, who had already known some truths about the Civilization Trial, even more deeply recognized Shen Hao's tremendous contribution to this war.
If the trial truly wasn't one-off, then this war wasn't just about winning; it was about reducing the cost as much as possible!
The high-level was so quick in pushing one unconventional act after another primarily because of the intelligence obtained from the Blood Demon Mother regarding the Civilization Trial.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Pressure, dense and unstoppable, surged towards every informant like a tide!
"Alright, those are the three important pieces of intelligence," continued Shen Hao, "In terms of research, Mr. Jiang will be in charge once the research institute is set up. He will report to me periodically, while the rest of you have a more important task—further clean up the Blood Demons!"
That's right, whether it's researching the Blood Demons or experimenting with technologies purchased from the store, although important, were not what Shen Hao had to do.
Possessing a mini-map, he himself was a special target and ultimate weapon against the Blood Demons.
To bring death to the Blood Demons, that was what he had to do now!
Not to mention, gaining points, enhancing strength, upgrading the store, were also his critical objectives.
Included were the others, who also held this understanding.
At this moment, all eyes were focused on Shen Hao.
"The previous allocation will now be fixed," Shen Hao said unapologetically, "Dong Gong is responsible for central coordination; you four lead the teams with me, handling combat; Chen Sihui is in charge of logistical assignments and transportation, including both equipment and resources. Oh, and Liu Ruoxi, my sister Qiuyue will temporarily follow you."
Over the past few days, a secret security area that gathered important family members of the Chosen Ones had also been set up.
All staff members were personally vetted by Shen Hao.
With the addition of props, there was no need to worry about safety issues.
Qiuyue would also officially join his Chosen One squad.
Naturally, she was categorized as a combatant.
She would surely mature quickly on the battlefield.
What followed would definitely involve a lot of fighting!
"Yes!" everyone responded in unison.
Then they immediately began making preparations for movement.
After several armed helicopters took off, the last camera in Donghua City also focused on them.
"Although the battle in Donghua City has already achieved a great victory, and people have begun to gradually resume normal lives after three days of terror and danger, the war of heroes and warriors continues. They will bring significant destruction to the still rampaging Blood Demons on this great land..."
At this moment, many people within the city, watching the camera and listening to the reporter's voice, started to look up towards the direction where Shen Hao and others were departing, some huddling with their families, already tearful.
The whole city was filled with countless car horns, honking intermittently.
This was the people's way of seeing off Shen Hao and others.
Those online who envied this city, who envied them, probably could hardly comprehend everything these millions of people went through in just these three days.
However, the envy of others was genuine, because at this moment, their sense of security had become the most precious thing in the world.
...
"First, we need to vet the entire Military Department and all levels of key management within the shortest time," Shen Hao stated on the helicopter about the current tasks, "The whole itinerary will probably take about five days; you are responsible for maintaining order on the ground and deal with any Blood Demons that reveal themselves early."
Previously, Shen Hao's vetting capabilities were limited, and the efficiency of vetting the Military Department and various personnel was very low, but now it was different. Now, he only needed to fly overhead to quickly identify all Blood Demons.
He even didn't need to assemble the personnel!
