Chapter 49: Chapter 49: The Game Has Changed
The end of the Blood Demons was indeed approaching.
If the first cheat, starting with a Red Mythical Talent, could still be considered within the “play” of the Civilization Trial, at most it was just good luck, then this second map cheat completely broke the rules of the Civilization Trial!
Parasite? Lurking? Hiding?
As long as they entered within the range of Shen Hao’s map, all Blood Demons had nowhere to hide!
This map was clearly directly invading and obtaining the core data of the Civilization Trial, marking information based on the potential sources of points, and in the current Trial, the only source of points for the Chosen One was the Blood Demons.
It could be said that from this moment on, the rules of war had completely changed with Shen Hao.
It turned into a head-on clash with the Blood Demons!
“Six o’clock direction, two thousand three hundred meters,” Shen Hao still had three Flying Knives, which he used to easily kill three Blood Demons hidden in the sewer.
Then he reported the next address.
Meanwhile, at the location he had just mentioned, several Soldiers cautiously entered the house, which was already uninhabited, and at first glance, they saw a wall pierced with a hole and two withered corpses that had fallen from inside a cupboard.
“Two Blood Demon corpses found and recovered.”
The captain reported over the channel, and from the hole in the wall, one could clearly see the sky and even the distinct trajectory of the attack.

From hundreds of meters up in the helicopter, throwing two Flying Knives to kill the Blood Demons hiding motionless inside the cupboard!
Too strong.
So powerful that it somewhat exceeded their understanding of Shen Hao.
Just then, an excited voice, suppressed with urgency, came through the command channel again.
“Direction 5145·2578, inside the sewer pipe, go recover three Blood Demon corpses, and don’t forget to collect Team Leader Shen’s Flying Knives as well!”
“There’s more?” The captain quickly checked the distance, it was only thirteen hundred meters away!
Which meant that after killing those two Blood Demons, Team Leader Shen headed straight there, not stopping for a moment!
Having fought with the Blood Demons for two days, he naturally understood what this meant!
Taking a deep breath, his emotions surged with excitement amidst the shock.
“Quick! Clear up this place, find the Flying Knives, let’s follow Team Leader Shen!”
The rest of the warriors were equally exhilarated.
But they were still one step too late; another team closer to the scene was already taking care of it.
Meanwhile, Shen Hao continued to report positions relentlessly.
In just a short span of ten minutes, he had found and handled more than a dozen Blood Demons!
The command channel for the ground troops buzzed with activity, and more and more Soldiers chose to follow Shen Hao’s movements; even though they couldn’t keep up, just listening to the voices over the channel brought them great joy.
Every time a voice appeared, it meant a Blood Demon had been found and dealt with!
The efficiency of Shen Hao alone far exceeded the search efforts of countless others!
The Analysis Department was completely startled.
An urgent call from Dong Gong came through.
“Team Leader, have you mastered some new method for quickly finding Blood Demons?” he asked eagerly.
“That’s right,” Shen Hao admitted straightforwardly, “I’ve already advanced to Level 3. After trying out a blue ability that dropped, combined with my Talent, there indeed was a pleasant surprise.”
He didn’t elaborate on what the ability was, nor did he need to explain too much.
In fact, if he kept on cheating like this, some performances would only become increasingly difficult to explain.
It’s better to start maintaining a sense of mystery from now on.
As his strength continuously grew and his status steadily rose, there wouldn’t be anyone daring enough to probe too deeply.
At this moment, Dong Gong indeed had no interest in understanding what specific blue ability it was; he was urgently asking, “You were just conducting an experiment, weren’t you? How did it go? How many Blood Demons can you detect within the range? Is the accuracy high?”
“Yes, I’ve arrived at a conclusion,” Shen Hao spoke with certainty, “Within a three-thousand-meter radius, if a Blood Demon appears, even for just a moment, it absolutely cannot escape my perception!”
“A three-thousand-meter radius?” Dong Gong took a sharp breath and even stood up abruptly from his seat.
All the people in the command center, for the most part, stopped what they were doing and looked at him intently.
Even the Analysis Department and Intelligent Group, who were located online, at that moment, fell silent!
Upon hearing the phrase “three-thousand-meter radius”, some people’s hearts even skipped a beat!
“That’s right, it might be more than three thousand meters. As my Spirit value increases, this range will further expand,” Shen Hao didn’t waste any time and quickly instructed, “Based on a three-thousand-meter radius, plan out our scouting route for me. Next, I won’t be killing them outright; instead, I will lower my altitude and control them with suppression, so we must prepare the ground combat troops in advance to contain them, avoiding any escape of the Blood Demons.”
Killing them so swiftly earlier was just to experiment with the map, but Shen Hao certainly hadn’t forgotten that capturing a Matrix alive was the core objective of this “hide-and-seek”.
“Yes!” Dong Gong shouted loudly, his excitement barely concealed.
Not only him, but when he notified the other members of the Analysis Department, the entire Intelligent Group immediately stirred.
“With a three-thousand-meter radius, sitting in a helicopter, it would only take two hours to scout the entire city!”
“If we really can ensure there is no oversight, then not a single Blood Demon will escape!”
“We must not be careless, considering the possibility of the Blood Demons hiding and the noise from the helicopter being quite loud.”
“How about moving on the ground?”
“We’re not yet clear on the strength of the Matrix, but it definitely won’t be getting away!”
“Gentlemen, within two hours, capture the Matrix!”
“…”
The excitement was palpable among them, yet they were also filled with shock and a sense of awe.
Merely ten minutes ago, the atmosphere here was heavy, because finding a Matrix likely parasitizing a child, or even an infant, within a short span of time seemed incredibly difficult. If delayed too long, the situation would become much worse.
Additionally, they had already invested tremendous manpower and resources in order to capture the Matrix.
But nobody had anticipated that a problem which seemed insurmountable would suddenly become so simple!
Adding a detection range with a three-thousand-meter radius directly reduced the difficulty of capturing the Matrix from Hell to easy.
In fact, there was no need for this gathered group of elites; even if only Shen Hao conducted a sweep by himself, he had a high probability of making the capture!
But no one felt they had become redundant!
They would rather have it even simpler!
Meanwhile, Shen Hao’s incredibly potent new ability also quickly spread upwards.
