Chapter 100: Chapter 100: Reversal of the Loss Ratio!
On the fifth day of the war today, the support provided by drones already accounts for twenty-five percent of the frontline support.
In just another five or six days, the support from drones will completely surpass the combined support from the air force, missiles, the Chosen Ones, and all other types of firepower support.
Therefore, the strategic significance of the Blue Level 11 drone technology that Shen Hao brought at this moment is, in fact, even greater than he had anticipated.
Even if this program isn’t effective on all drone models, just using it as a framework reference will greatly enhance combat efficiency.
In the end, Dong Gong even remarked, “Just give us another six months, and at this rate, the Blood Demons of this scale will become trivial to deal with.”
Indeed, this rate of growth far exceeded their past understanding.
Although it mainly relies on the mall on the Chosen One panel, the potential that human civilization has burst forth has also astonished many.
“Surviving the trial and becoming stronger is what truly matters,” Shen Hao said. “Give me a coordinate now, and I will purchase items from the mall.”
“Yes,” Dong Gong responded quickly.
Of course, Shen Hao wasn’t responsible for transportation, his time was extremely precious; every minute could result in the death of hundreds, or even thousands of Blood Demons, saving more lives of frontline soldiers.
As the batch of goods Shen Hao sent off made its way, the situation on the battlefield was also quietly changing.
Perhaps ordinary people couldn’t feel it, but the frontline soldiers undoubtedly sensed it the most clearly.

At this moment, it was the sixth day of the battle at the Hua Da Mountains.
Paddy was still alive.
He was currently in a trench carved out halfway up the mountain, an excellent defensive position found by the headquarters, surrounded by dense high mountains. It was difficult for long-range missiles or air-dropped bombs to lock on and hit, and ordinary shells, thanks to the trenches dug quickly and various defense facilities, could already be barely withstood.
Unless a shell fell right into the trench, as happened yesterday to a group of unlucky ones, even their bodies were mingled together, indistinguishable from each other.
In any case, if the Blood Demons wanted to break through here, they could only resort to the most primitive method.
—A charge.
Primitive, yet still very dangerous, Paddy could no longer remember how many times he had fought in the past two or three days, and he had nearly died several times, but he had still survived. Except for losing an ear and half of his facial skin on the first day, he hadn’t received any serious injuries.
Now in the camp, everyone called him “Lucky Paddy.”
Paddy himself was quite cheerful about it.
“I’ve already killed thirteen Blood Demons; I originally wanted to kill only ten, now that’s more than enough,” he would say this to anyone he met.
To have a good mood on the battlefield, one must first not be afraid of death, and Paddy was not afraid, he didn’t even need drugs for numbness.
“Hey, Paddy,” a new major bent over as he walked through the trench, greeting Paddy, “Going to welcome the new recruit?”
“Someone new has arrived?” Paddy suddenly became interested. “There isn’t a Blood Demon hidden among them like the day before yesterday, is there?”
“Not so unlucky this time, they came through a secure route,” the corner of the major’s eye twitched.
The previous major had died in that incident, but as per the regulations, all new recruits must meet their highest-ranking frontline officer immediately.
“Okay then,” Paddy shrugged, almost as if disappointed, “I also hope not.”
The major wanted to say something else, but a loud roar suddenly came from not far away, followed by more whistling sounds filling the entire sky.
Both men ducked down!
“Damn, here they come!” the major’s voice sharpened.
“Just in time, Major, this is the best welcome for the new recruits,” Paddy laughed loudly, quickly opening the tablet strapped to his arm, “Let’s try the new guy we just got this morning!”
If it had been before, they could only have retaliated with artillery shells, starting with ordinary gunpowder explosions, then moving to large-scale frozen shells, and later more microwave shells, but now they had a bunch of odd equipment.
Just a light tap of the finger, and two drones flew out, more people were performing the same operation, more and more drones flew out, varied in size and style.
All styles included.
This was called real combat testing!
“Major, a poor guy died, I took his drone permissions,” Paddy yelled in the mouth of the cannon, “Don’t fight me for it.”
In just six short days, he had gone from a third-class private soldier to the current lieutenant, his permissions second only to the major in the entire camp.
“Not fighting you, I’ve got to check on those damn new recruits, fuck!” the major cursed.
Paddy was completely immersed in the new weapons.
Before this, he had never played with drones, but this new gadget didn’t need to be controlled; he just had to watch the screen and manually determine if those locked on were enemies or not.
Just by looking at those blatantly visible tentacles, there was no need to guess.
“Fire! Fire! Let me see your power!”
The moment the command was issued, all the drones that had locked onto the enemy opened fire. A dense barrage of frozen bullets poured down, effortlessly passing through the gaps in the jungle and striking the Blood Demons with precision.
Then they switched to heavy weapons and fired bursts at the necks.
The rise of Blood Qi signified the death of the Blood Demons.
“Three more! We’ve taken down another three!” Paddy shouted excitedly.
Just the day before yesterday, he had killed two Blood Demons and faced great danger, even losing four comrades. But now, all he had to do was hide and give orders!
He was eager to find more Blood Demons.
Just then, the voice of the major came through his headset.
“Hey, guys, we’ve got some special new comrades. Make sure not to hit them, watch out, each of them has an identification chip inside! Leave some of the frozen Blood Demons for them to finish off!”
“New comrades?” Paddy peered at the drone footage and indeed saw a group of unusual people.
The biggest feature was that they too controlled blood!
Although not as grotesquely shaped as the Blood Demons, they could also control several weapons at a time!
Paddy even saw one of them pierce a frozen Blood Demon’s body with a tentacle, clearly crazy about drawing the opponent’s blood!
Within a moment, that Blood Demon turned into a dried corpse!
And the blood-manipulating tentacles visibly increased in number.
“Cool!” Paddy already knew what this was!
Parasite Failures, with an eighty-seven percent chance of survival!
He had just heard the recruitment message from the broadcast two days ago, and now, today, they were already entering the battlefield!
“Eighty-seven percent, damn, that’s much higher than the survival rate on the battlefield!” Paddy couldn’t help but shout on the channel, “Major, when can we get a chance like this!”
Similar cries were incessant. Clearly, a thirteen percent mortality rate did not make these battle-hardened people fear or hesitate at all; they even felt the rate was too low!
“Forget it, I signed up the first time, and haven’t been picked yet!” the major bellowed, “There are only so many captured Blood Demon Mothers, better think about how to deal with these damn Blood Demons right now, wait, that new recruit, don’t run, the faster you run the quicker you die…fuck!”
The last words told them that a new recruit was gone.
But that was only too normal, maybe the Blood Demons had chosen this time to attack because they found there were new recruits, for here, it only took a day or two for a new recruit to become a veteran!
Paddy didn’t speak, totally immersed in the battle.
“The fourth, the fifth, the sixth…hahaha, these three were actually standing together, twenty-two, I’ve killed twenty-two!” he felt like rushing out of cover and shouting!
Never before had war felt as exhilarating as it did today!
In the end, the Blood Demons abandoned two hundred desiccated corpses and fled in panic.
When assessing the battle losses, they had only lost a mere hundred and fifty people.
Among them, more than seventy were new recruits!
For the first time, the casualty ratio between the humans and the Blood Demons had reversed!
And this situation wasn’t unique to this location; nearly every battlefield with the new weapons, especially those with the new drones, had shown a definite advantage!
At least compared to the savagery of the previous few days, this was indeed an advantage!
The moment Dong Gong got the detailed data, he reported to Shen Hao: “The Parasite Loser Army has been deployed in batches on the battlefield and has played a certain role, but, the intelligent drones and Ice Gray Rats have achieved the greatest combat results, especially in the jungle and mountainous terrains where some Blood Demons couldn’t even spot the drones hidden by leaves and the Ice Gray Rats scurrying at their feet. The research institute has already started on the artificial breeding of Ice Gray Rats, but there might not be enough time. The headquarters is asking if you can purchase more.”
“That can be done, this kind of ‘weapon’ is probably the most cost-effective,” Shen Hao was also closely monitoring his points.
His strength had officially reached Level 9.
Three basic triple-digit attributes, except his Constitution was a bit lower at forty-seven, his Spirit and Transcendent had both surpassed fifty.
With his equipment, his efficiency in killing Blood Demons was even higher.
But even so, the points he earned from killing Blood Demons throughout the day were completely surpassed by the points feedback!
Yes, ever since products from Level 11 of the shop or related results were deployed on the battlefield, the numbers for points feedback had skyrocketed!
In just one day, he had gained a whopping one hundred and fifty million points just from feedback!
Adding his own kills, just today he had accumulated nearly two hundred and forty million points.
He was almost reaching the White Level 12 shop.
Shen Hao could even clearly feel that victory was near!
