Chapter 94: Chapter 94: Major Update of the Mall!
The Blood Demon Mother likely wouldn’t dare to expose itself easily, let alone take action recklessly.
They had no idea whether those seemingly ordinary, weak humans might suddenly summon the power of Shen Hao!
Everyone started moving again.
Shen Hao glanced at the city below that was still burning, and his figure suddenly descended.
At this moment, Karim and West had gathered a large crowd, they were still searching for Blood Demons, rescuing survivors from the flames and collapsed ruins, and actively fighting against those taking advantage of the chaos to rob and commit crimes.
When Shen Hao descended from the sky to their front, everyone was startled.
But quickly, they recognized him, and a boundless excitement surged through them.
“Shen!”
“Is it over? Tell me it’s over!”
“Savior!”
“Thank you, you saved me in the end!”
“Why are there so many Blood Demons?”

“…”
The crowd suddenly became noisy, and as lightning still surrounded Shen Hao, they didn’t dare get too close, but various voices kept pouring in.
“Quiet.” Shen Hao had to use some suppression to quell all the voices and then looked at one of the Chinese, “I said, you translate.”
The Chinese nodded vigorously, his face flushed with excitement.
“All the Blood Demons on the streets and hiding in the buildings, I have cleared them all, but there are still quite a few hiding in the subway stations, about three thousand. Since you have Chosen Ones among you, go find them and deal with them,” Shen Hao said to Karim and West.
Karim nodded eagerly without any hesitation, while West still maintained some calmness.
“But we are Level 2 and Level 3, we don’t have the means to distinguish Blood Demons.”
“I will give you weapons and equipment,” Shen Hao raised a hand, and several pieces of equipment and ability balls fell in front of the two, in addition to two communication devices, “Now that this city is in a state of real anarchy, according to the wartime laws of the Global United Front, I grant you temporary management and order maintenance authority, and keep in touch with this communication channel at all times, someone will tell you what to do.”
“A state of anarchy?” West was taken aback.
“Yes, most of the city’s officials, if not Blood Demons, have already surrendered to the Blood Demons,” said Shen Hao as he ascended again, “I am headed to other battlefields now, the city is in your hands.”
His figure quickly flew up and vanished, leaving everyone still in shock.
All the city’s officials, wiped out?
It took a while for Karim and West to recover, and under the gaze of everyone around, they activated the communicator left by Shen Hao.
A clear voice came through: “This is the support team of the Global United Front online, we have now received authorization, now listing several important authorities to explain to you: first, under temporary authority, your words and actions represent the Global United Front, but must also be under constant surveillance; second, the disobedient will be recorded, and you are allowed to carry out or authorize non-lethal attacks against them; third, in special wartime conditions, actions that severely disrupt order will be subject to enhanced penalties, such as robbery, murder, arson, etc., you have the authority to kill on the spot…”
This was also a significant achievement of the Global United Front in recent days.
Because a region, even a country, had substantively lost its existing management layer, the chaos of the post-war order brought more death and loss, sometimes even more than during the combat period.
This law was thus born.
To some extent, it also emphasized and paved the way for the authority of the Global United Front.
If Shen Hao did not delegate his powers, they would select some survivors who had some influence in the past from this location.
But Shen Hao believed it was better to give those who had the courage to resist a chance.
At least, they cared more about this city than most.
For Shen Hao, it was just a convenient gesture, but after he left, this only brief public appearance video quickly spread online.
Actually, everyone had known since the beginning of the fight that Shen Hao, whom they had been calling for, was finally coming to their country.
But nobody expected their country’s situation to be so dire!
That was New City!
The economic hub of the country, a major city known worldwide, also claimed by their government to be very safe and to remain safe!
But looking at the Blood Demons that filled the streets, it was unimaginable!
The already sparse trust rapidly collapsed in the shortest time.
“We need authorization here too, change the management!”
“Right, a large number of Blood Demons have just fled, the entire city is screaming!”
“If not for Shen, how long would we continue to be deceived?”
“When will Shen come to Elwin City, we have so many Blood Demons here!”
“Chosen One, now only the Chosen One can be believed!”
“Shen, please save us!”
“….”
One voice after another, all were from a terrified crowd seeking anything that could give them a sense of security.
There was only one Shen Hao.
However, the Global United Front swiftly stood up.
They broadcast accurate intelligence from various regions through various channels, including the movements of the Blood Demons and even the swiftness in clearing the lurking Blood Demons and taking over the armies. All Chosen Ones were rapidly integrated, drawn by powerful equipment and ability balls…
This region, the most severely damaged in the war with the Blood Demons, had now also become the area of greatest influence and deepest intervention by the Global United Front!
The original administrators were powerless.
Their performance had cost them their trust.
Not just that of the public, but also that of their original supporters.
By the evening, as increasingly dire situations were reported in numerous cities in the north, the original management groups finally resigned en masse under immense pressure, and successors quickly announced a series of plans in accordance with the battle readiness orders of the Global United Front.
However, this event, which should have caused a huge shock, now received little attention.
For the war had gradually swept through most of the cities!
The Blood Demons retreating southward were not merely retreating. On their way, they attacked wildly, abducting humans. Parasitism and digestion took time, so they began to disperse and carry away large numbers of people. Shen Hao attacked several concentrated areas of Blood Demons and found many captured humans, and such cases were far too numerous, with some Blood Demons even directly moving through wilderness, mountains, and forests with humans.
In these places, human armies were no match for the Blood Demons.
And powerful weapons were not delivered to every frontline area.
Everyone was out of good ideas, even Shen Hao could only travel back and forth, trying his best to eliminate the Blood Demons.
Luckily, as time progressed, the northern regions finally began to regain order gradually.
Millions of Blood Demons were either eliminated or successfully retreated to the south, and nearly twenty Blood Demon Mothers, many from the East with not so strong abilities, were dealt with, significantly weakening the foundation of the Blood Demons.
On the fourth morning in this country, just as the sun was rising, Shen Hao stood in a war-torn city, looking at his system panel.
Because the Blood Demons were too dispersed, and there were a large number of suicides, the efficiency of the last three days fell short of the first day. Nevertheless, he finally managed to gather enough.
White Level 10 Mall, now officially open!
As Shen Hao had predicted, this level of mall brought significantly important updates!
And not just for the Chosen Ones but also for the entire civilization.
Firstly, there was a plethora of technology, not just the partial goods production technology of before, but more fundamental, complete technology across various paths of civilization!
Not just science and technology!
In fact, upon opening it, Shen Hao’s focus immediately went to some items.
“Basic Qi Refining,” “Body Refining Practice Guide,” “Five Elements Gathering Spirit Method,” “Basic Talisman Collection”…
Yes, these were technologies of the Extraordinary Domain, the foundations of the path of cultivation!
Even without purchasing, Shen Hao could easily understand that these were not only prepared for the Chosen Ones but for all individuals.
Even though all of them were only the most basic, they were enough for a civilization to start learning about this path and to embark on it!
“And magic,” Shen Hao looked towards other items.
“Basic Meditation,” “Simple Magic Application,” “Life Magic: Free Your Hands”…
Technology, magic, cultivation—the initial three paths, from the Tenth Level Mall, all provided a basic starting point from scratch!
“Civilization Trial, it’s not just the Chosen Ones being tried, it’s not just the Chosen Ones being enhanced!” Shen Hao slowly exhaled.
At this moment, not controlling his emotions, he could feel the anticipation in his heart even more.
The power of an individual, though desirable, is one thing, but the strength of an entire civilization also made him more resolute in everything he guarded.
Indeed, Shen Hao also vaguely realized that this first Trial was really just a beginning.
The system of the Chosen Ones selected what it considered representatives of the entire civilization and granted them the key power to face the Trial. This could undoubtedly systematically break down most of the old order of civilizations and then let the performance of the Chosen Ones determine the fate of the civilization.
This process was the first step in screening the civilization.
It needed the Chosen Ones to stand out, to face the Trial directly, to save their civilization.
But the subsequent Trials may not always be the same.
