Shen Hao was filled with anticipation for the new type of cheat that might appear in three days.
However, he didn't plan to rely solely on cheats.
The Civilization Trial had already provided certain opportunities for success, and while using cheats was naturally better, he knew he had to put in the effort on the "right path."
Improve oneself, strengthen civilization.
Following that, just as Shen Hao had said, he selected a team of elite soldiers.
Even though they were using new weapons, these soldiers still demonstrated the combat discipline of professional soldiers to everyone.
Locking onto targets, breaching doors, attacking... All the actions were performed in one smooth sequence.
Extremely fluid and efficient.
The results were encouraging—with the exception of one family of six that had all been parasitized by monsters, which proved a bit troublesome, all the other monsters didn't have the slightest chance to resist!
Of course, to replenish weapons and ammo, Shen Hao had almost emptied out most of his points.
Relying on the achievements of these soldiers, it was impossible to break even in points in the short term, and since they weren't Chosen Ones, they couldn't get the "Big Head."
Theoretically, when there were enough Chosen Ones on hand and he had spare capacity, leaving the task to them was actually a loss.
"Is it necessary to use the Chosen Ones as the main force?" Shen Hao tried to deduce the intention of the Civilization Trial from these rules.
That is, "dissecting gameplay."
But in reality, there were specialists thinking about this.
Within this day, the meetings at the top were continuing, but various plans were already being put into motion.
This included establishing the "Crisis Management Department," determining coordination orders among departments, protecting potential top-tier Chosen One candidates, setting up related research institutions...
They were almost striving to mobilize all forces in the shortest possible time!
After all, it seemed that this was not only a crisis but also an opportunity.
—Solve the crisis, seize the opportunity!
These eight words were the core directive being communicated from above.
Even Shen Hao could not help but admire the power of the system.
By the evening, four more Chosen Ones had arrived.
"After the establishment of the Crisis Management Department, not only here but also other places are forming similar teams of Chosen Ones, especially those regions that have also experienced 'Blood Demon' traces. They are actively investigating, so for the time being, we can only transfer these four people," Dong Gong conveyed the message from above, glanced at Shen Hao, and continued, "Of course, your location is still a priority, so your requests will be met first. Other areas are still hoping to learn from our handling experience here."
After all, Shen Hao was the only known Chosen One with a purple Talent.
He had also displayed suppressive power against the parasite monsters known as "Blood Demons."
The victories he displayed today were equally outstanding.
"Four will suffice for now," Shen Hao looked up at the four people in front of him.
The most eye-catching among them were undoubtedly a young man and a young woman, both standard handsome man and beautiful woman, and of the top tier at that.
The man named Cheng Youqing had a very handsome appearance, a sunny smile, and a robust physique, but he didn't qualify for Chosen One status for his looks, but rather as a world-class extreme sports enthusiast.
Yes, the kind of extreme sports with a very high mortality rate.
Rock climbing, wingsuit flying, skydiving, surfing...
His resume could make the average person break into a cold sweat, completely unable to associate this gentle-mannered man with the madman on the page.
Regardless, whether crazy or not, his mentality was indeed strong.
As for the other striking beauty, named Liu Ruoxi, labeled as a "world-class beauty" and obtaining Chosen One status just with her looks.
Additionally, her family background was somewhat special.
Children of high-ranking officials.
She had beauty, wealth, and power; in the past, she was someone Shen Hao couldn't even approach.
As for the other two, they appeared rather ordinary: one in his thirties, a world-class programmer named Song Cheng, and one in his fifties, a world-class biologist named Jiang Weining.
"Cheng Youqing, Liu Ruoxi, Song Cheng, you three will take on combat missions, and Mr. Jiang, being a biology student, can temporarily supervise the research on the monsters," Shen Hao quickly allocated the tasks.
"No problem," Cheng Youqing and the other two quickly agreed.
Only Song Cheng was somewhat hesitant, "Um, boss, look at my physique—going into battle with monsters is just going to be a feast for them. My Talent isn't that strong either. Could I maybe be put in charge of monitoring, investigation, stuff like that..."
"Then you can leave," Shen Hao interrupted him bluntly, "Right now, the monitoring and investigation don't require top world-class programming skills. Here, your Chosen One status is more important than your past abilities. In a word, comply or leave!"
"I..." Song Cheng stole a glance at Liu Ruoxi, then bit the bullet, "I'll comply!"
To this thirty-something-year-old homebody programmer, becoming a Chosen One in the past half month felt like a dream.
The things he'd experienced and the people he'd met were unimaginable before.
Plus, he knew that the person before him could very well be the current strongest in the world!
In the face of such a crisis, having this person as a support gave him a sense of security.
"Let's have a meeting then, to summarize and share," Shen Hao picked up a stack of documents in his hand, preparing to stand up and distribute them, when Liu Ruoxi stepped forward first to take the documents and silently distribute them.
Shen Hao glanced at her and sat back down.
"Today we dealt with a total of 121 Blood Demons, eliminating all related Blood Demons of those fifty-three Blood Demons that had exposed themselves, and the biggest achievement for now is learning some of the parasitic conditions!"
Rustling page flips filled the air as the stacks of horrific photographs on the documents were revealed.
Song Cheng's face turned pale.
He couldn't imagine, if his family or friends suddenly turned into such monsters in front of him, how terrifying it would be.
But after turning to the page with the parasitic conditions, he also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Known condition 1: The infected must swallow a colorless worm about thirty millimeters long and five millimeters wide in the form of ingestion, which can survive in liquid and disappear after being away from liquid for a while (suspected evaporation)."
"Known condition 2: Besides ingestion, a second condition is required for successful parasitism."
"Hypothesis 1: Must be in an unconscious state."
"Hypothesis 2: Needs to be restrained and unable to make significant movements."
"Hypothesis 3: Must occur in a state of fear."
"Hypothesis 4...."
