Run Away, This Civilization Is Cheating!

Not only did Shen Hao have this feeling, but many others shared the same sentiment!

Even though the war had not completely ended, a subtle change had already emerged in the atmosphere among the top headquarters of the Global United Front.

People were more confident about the war, and their actions became more decisive.

Even the propaganda in the rear had quietly undergone a transformation.

"Today's casualty numbers for soldiers on the West State front line have reached a six-day low!"

"All kinds of new weapons are playing a huge role."

"Drones are more accurate and flexible than human soldiers, and most importantly, they can't be parasitized by those damned Blood Demons!"

"The first set of full-coverage exoskeleton armor produced on the assembly line has been loaded onto transport planes; this armor will usher in a new era of warfare, and it will shape an invincible iron army for humanity!"

"...."

Every piece of news focused on various new weapons.

But this kind of propaganda was indeed more effective than directly promoting the front-line battle situations.

Even the recruitment numbers in various regions began to grow further.

It should be noted that apart from West State and Northern Alliance, where the battles were fiercest, other regions still maintained conscription systems. Yet, the emergence of these new weapons stirred up people's fighting spirit, and just the chance to join the "Mechanical Army" was enough to attract a large number of young people to enlist.

Even if the full-cover exoskeleton armor was limited in number due to cost, mass production of external skeletons had begun.

In the most intense battle zones, every soldier could now be equipped with one!

This undoubtedly greatly enhanced the combat capabilities of the frontline warriors.

They now had greater speed, stronger defense, and could even carry more weapons and ammo!

It was proven that choosing technology as the main direction of development was undoubtedly the correct decision.

Humanity's potential for warfare was experiencing an astounding explosion.

Contrary to the increasingly high morale of the humans, the Blood Demons had fallen into an unspoken slump.

If it were not for the strict order within Blood Demon society, the obvious reversal trend alone would have been enough to make the frontline Blood Demon soldiers lose their will to fight, or even start to mutiny.

After all, their combat losses were just as staggeringly large.

But while the ordinary soldiers might not have much emotion, the Blood Demon Mother and the high-level Blood Demons had already fallen into a state of anxiety and panic.

At this moment, the Blood Demon Mother was convening yet another collective meeting.

The Blood Demon Mothers attending this meeting were less than eighty in number.

Together with the thirty-something from the Northern Alliance and the forty-something who ventured out to sea in search of more troops, there were now less than one hundred and sixty Blood Demon Mothers left alive and standing on the other side of the war.

Despite having the strength of Level 7 and Level 8, all the surviving Blood Demon Mothers dared not set foot on the battlefield. Or rather, those who dared had already all fallen at the front lines.

Humans were now closely monitoring the parasitic incidents on the front lines. Once a parasite was discovered, Shen Hao would arrive at the scene immediately and proceed to ruthlessly and extensively sweep the area. No Blood Demon Mother could escape under such a vast range and incredibly precise pursuit.

The remaining seventy-odd were almost all dealt with single-handedly by Shen Hao.

Among them, even two with Purple Level Talents had no power to resist.

Now, they had only two Purple Epic Talent holders left, one here and the other in the Northern Alliance.

They were also the highest commanders of the Blood Demons.

One principal and one deputy had established their order.

At this moment, the highest commander of the West State Blood Demons, sitting in the main seat, finally spoke up, breaking the heavy atmosphere at the meeting.

"If this continues, our civilization is doomed to extinction, and time is no longer on our side," its voice was hoarse and damp; it was obvious that only a progeny sat here.

The rest of the Blood Demons were mostly the same.

There were human satellites in the sky, a power they had yet to control to this day, and no one dared to really gather in their true forms. Should the humans take notice, a megaton nuclear weapon would be all it took to end the war abruptly.

"Perhaps we should not have dispersed. We should have sent all forty million soldiers over," spoke up one Mother at this point.

"Foolish!" Before the Blood Demon Commander could speak, another Mother sternly rebuked, "Such density gathered together would be gifting points to him! Haven't you realized we've given up more than enough? Look at the front-line intelligence, the weapons humans possess are growing stronger and stronger! They even have Extraordinary Creatures as powerful troops!"

Indeed, it referred to the Ice Gray Rat.

This small but indeed formidable biological weapon had recently left them utterly disheveled.

But what shocked them even more was how such a thing could appear!

Although the cost was unknown, with such quantity, it definitely couldn't be too high, and coupled with such power, it definitely was not just of White Level Quality!

But the problem was, higher-quality items should only appear as drops, yet this quantity clearly indicated they could be purchased in bulk from the Chosen One Mall!

But why?

At that moment, as this topic was brought up, many Blood Demon Mothers showed a look of bewilderment in their eyes.

They had lost most of their memories about their own civilization, as well as the knowledge they had obtained from the Chosen One panel.

However, it was still vaguely certain that there were no Blue Level items available for purchase in the mall!

All of them were only White Level.

So, why? Why are humans different from them?

"Perhaps, it's because of a higher-level mall."

It was not until the end that the highest commander sitting in the main seat, with a hoarse voice, said:

"Ladies and gentlemen, the fundamental reason for our failure is actually only one—that most powerful Chosen One. Without him, the Parasitic Ability we chose would have been the bane of this civilization. They were so scattered and so keen on infighting, even creating so many weapons that could easily kill themselves. We should have won easily, but—that man broke everything!

He almost single-handedly reversed all our advantages!"

That's right!

The emotions of some Blood Demons were instantly aroused.

"It's all his fault!"

"That man!"

"Our civilization's greatest enemy in its resurrection!"

"Humans are no match for us, except for him!"

"..."

The multitude of voices that rose up densely showed the Blood Demons' anger towards Shen Hao, as well as their fear!

And the latter was even more prevalent.

Because up to now, including the Blood Demon Commander seated in the main seat with a Purple Epic Talent, no one dared to call out Shen Hao's name!

As if the name carried a special magic power.

As if just by mentioning it, that person would be alerted, and the Thunder would descend upon their heads in the shortest time!

This fear had reached a certain level.

However, after venting, a deep sense of helplessness and despair gradually emerged in the hearts of each Blood Demon Mother.

Everyone understood that as long as that person existed, their own civilization's hope of revival was continuously diminishing.

The entire civilization was gradually slipping into a second abyss.

If they failed, there would be no third chance for them.

The Blood Demon Commander also sensed the despair that pervaded the venue and suddenly intensified the tone, raising his voice and saying, "To win this war! To revive our civilization! The only way, the only hope, is one—kill that Chosen One!"n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

All Blood Demons looked at the leader they had chosen.

"As long as we kill that Chosen One, we no longer have to hide in the rear, we can bring the greatest fear to humans, we could even infiltrate the humans, wildly growing our offspring." The voice of the Blood Demon Commander seemed to carry some kind of temptation, some sort of determination, "We could also snatch all the technology gained by humans from the Chosen One Mall for ourselves.

Without that Chosen One, they will also lose the chance to become stronger; we will easily win this Trial and revive our civilization!"

Some hope seemed to be reviving in the hearts of a few Blood Demon Mothers.

That's right, they still had hope.

This hope didn't lie in the more than forty million Blood Demons still existing, nor in the Northern Alliance Blood Demons being defeated by reinforcements from the Eastern Country, but solely in that one Chosen One.

Kill him! Then there's still hope!

"Instead of slowly waiting for death on the battlefield, instead of letting that Chosen One continue to grow stronger, continue to upgrade the mall with our bones, we might as well take a gamble!" the Blood Demon Commander almost enunciated every word, "At all costs, concentrate all our power, kill him!"

"Kill him!"

It started with one Blood Demon Mother who began shouting loudly; more and more Blood Demon Mothers joined in the same shout.

"Kill him!"

"Kill him!"

"Kill him!"

"..."

The voices grew louder, and more and more Blood Demon Mothers roared, as if doing so could give them courage!

But anyway, the will to fight was indeed being mobilized within all Blood Demon Mothers.

They didn't know exactly how they were going to kill him, but they already understood that, with the tide turning against them at the front lines, killing that Chosen One was the last hope of their entire civilization, as well as their last chance at survival!

However, watching this spectacle, a trace of sadness also emerged in the depths of the Blood Demon Commander's heart.

If they had been able to unite like this earlier, if they had had such courage,

then perhaps, their civilization wouldn't have failed in the Trial, much less have come this far.

But regret at that moment was meaningless.

That trace of emotion quickly receded, leaving only determination.

They once shrank back in the face of a dead end. Now, they could not shrink back a second time!
