Chapter 128: Chapter 128: The Blizzard Address Confirmed!
Shen Hao didn’t know whether this planet would recover after the Civilization Trial.
But he knew that, soon, the world would face complete destruction!
Shen Hao began to truly understand the motivations of those civilizations that created hacks.
The Civilization Trial just appeared abruptly, then recklessly destroyed everything within civilizations, depriving people of their lives and bringing them immense despair, without caring whether they were willing to accept this trial or not.
Beyond struggling, there was no other choice.
At this moment, Shen Hao’s desire to complete the Civilization Trial, even to find its creators, was fiercer than ever before.
Even if it meant cheating! He couldn’t let civilization be ruined by some inexplicable, cold program!
Shen Hao continued doing his own thing.
Currently, across the globe, he was the only one who could directly enter the Undead World, clear away the Undead, and even though the cities he had cleansed could still spawn and perhaps spread the Undead, his power had significantly reduced the crisis posed by the Undead.
By now, the Eastern Country had been completely swept through by Shen Hao, and he had begun to clean up some of the more dangerous areas abroad. Moreover, with weapons being upgraded all over the world, defensive forces were growing rapidly, and points feedback was steadily increasing.
By the ninth day of the trial, the number of points Shen Hao had earned in this new trial had surpassed eight billion!
He was only twenty billion short of the two hundred billion total points needed for the Sixteenth-level Mall.

This was thanks to the triple-points hack, a million ordinary-level Undead could bring him twelve billion points, and because of the astonishing growth rate of the Undead, they would reach Level 2 by the second day of their emergence. Despite the increase in destruction they caused, the points from such a million Undead would double again!
Thus, in the two days since activating the hack, Shen Hao had dealt with just over three million Undead, but had amassed more than seventy billion points!
His ranking was still first, but his performance value had already doubled that of the second-ranked!
The second-ranked must be feeling very bewildered.
Even with a triple hack, Shen Hao was only ahead by double, indicating that the second-ranked had indeed been frantically collecting points these two days, but could only watch the gap grow wider and wider.
One could only say, this was the power of hacking!
However, Shen Hao also became more cautious.
He hadn’t forgotten the existence of other civilizations just because the cruelty of the trial’s crisis far exceeded expectations, and the possible crises that could be encountered within this trial were far from limited to just one location.
But likewise, opportunities weren’t just in one place either!
“If we could directly absorb civilizations that followed the Magic Road or the technology path, our development would undoubtedly be more comprehensive and more powerful,” Shen Hao lifted his head, his gaze seeming to penetrate the thick atmosphere, falling upon those planets laden with civilizations.
He was certain that some civilizations held the same thoughts, that even in the face of the trials, the likelihood of cooperation remained slim and the possibility of hostility was higher.
Every civilization would only consider its own survival!
However, the biggest crisis was the trial itself!
On the “Eternal Night Ice River,” Shen Hao couldn’t do much relying solely on his personal strength, but in terms of the Undead, his efficiency was undoubtedly the highest.
Continue the cleansing!
It was on that very day, at the tower of the Chosen One Association, the meteorological monitoring department temporarily established by the Global United Front made a new discovery.
“Incredible…” Professor She Wenhui stared intently at the meteorological data before him, his entire being in immense shock.
“The President was right,” another top meteorological expert and Chosen One next to him similarly had his eyes wide open, “It’s too fast, the change is too rapid!”
Almost visibly, the temperature within a certain area detected by several meteorological devices was dropping at an alarming rate!
Within minutes, it had dropped by more than ten degrees!
And the speed was still rapidly changing!
“Quick, report it upstairs!” Professor She Wenhui had reacted, and hit the alarm system immediately. In an instant, all the data, especially those few coordinates, were sent to the Global Unified Association, and all the relevant people received the report.
After doing all this, Professor She Wenhui and his colleagues watched anxiously every piece of information on the meteorological detection devices.
“There’s no pattern, all the airflows around these locations are normal!”
“This is not a normal climatic change pattern!!”
“What on earth is happening?”
“The changes in airflow caused by the sudden drop in temperature have already started.”
“This certainly indicates a trend towards a massive blizzard!”
“Several coordinates are at high altitudes, at 3,000 meters! The impact range of a blizzard will be greater!”
“…”
Voices kept rising, and more and more people gathered around, trying to find the relevant rules.
“It’s a Heat Black Hole!” She Wenhui suddenly exclaimed; he aggressively pushed aside most of the documents on the desk, grabbed a piece of draft paper, and started to scribble calculations feverishly, “It’s a sudden appearance of a Heat Black Hole. There’s something in these places, maybe just a single point, absorbing heat at an astonishing rate over a wide area, which has caused severe changes in the air currents.”
“Indeed, it is so.” Some people nearby had also come to realize this.
The term “Heat Black Hole” indeed fit perfectly.
“I am calculating the specific area of this ‘Heat Black Hole’ and its absorption efficiency.” She Wenhui was now entirely animated, “It seems explosive? Not continuous, but like a pulse, absorbing heat in bursts after intervals. This indeed could speed up the meteorological changes, but if we can calculate the results and then use nuclear weapons at specified locations and times to detonate, satisfying its absorption needs, maybe we could have a chance to slow down the onset of the blizzards!”
At this, everyone’s eyes lit up.
Although it sounded like a wild idea and not without its drawbacks, there was indeed a possibility!
“After mastering the nuclear fusion formula, we have developed cleaner, more powerful nuclear weapons that can reduce radiation pollution to manageable levels!”
“Could this trigger changes in the Trial, such as increasing the difficulty or something?”
“Maybe, but time is life! What we lack most now is time!”
“Exactly, a mere eight days. The affected area is too large for a complete evacuation!”
“We can’t do it alone, we need to bring in several nuclear physics experts.”
“No matter what, start with a feasibility analysis meeting! Then submit the report.”
“Whether to attempt it in the end, let the higher-ups and the President decide.”
“…”
When the person in charge received the report, he too was startled by the somewhat wild idea.
However, scientists are responsible for researching feasibility, the upper levels for making decisions, and he is only responsible for coordination and support.
In the shortest time, a brand-new project team was formed, their task being to research the birth logic of this blizzard with all their might, to delay the onset of the blizzard!
But evidently, they wouldn’t place all their hopes on this alone.
Currently, a total of six “Heat Black Holes” had been identified, and if nothing was done, in about eight days, massive blizzards would inevitably occur in these six places!
Just as Shen Hao had predicted.
Even though not many doubted the authenticity of Shen Hao’s intelligence, at this moment, countless people felt fortunate for Shen Hao’s information!
In such a situation, even one more day to prepare could save a vast number of lives.
An emergency meeting was immediately called, and reports kept pouring in.
“Six locations, four on land and two in the sea, but the sea is more dangerous. Storms of this magnitude will stir up tsunamis like never before!” an official sitting at the table said, his expression grave.
In front of them, the entire table became a large projection.
A 3D projection, at that.
It was high-tech equipment purchased from the Sixth-level Mall, with basic simulation capability.
At that moment, six icy-blue dots appeared in the projection, visibly changing right before their eyes.
This was the simulation result.
“One is so close to Japan?!”
“Yes, the experts predict, along with the simulation results, that if the final wind force truly exceeds Level 20, a large part of Japan will be submerged by seawater, and then rapidly freeze under extreme conditions! Without any effective delays, the whole process won’t take longer than fifteen days! In fact, in at most ten days, the entire climate of Japan will drop to minus twenty degrees Celsius! Their power might even collapse before that!”
The projection was now showing simulation images.
Huge storms rapidly forming, waves mixed with massive chunks of ice hundreds of meters high, mercilessly destroying everything!
“Fifteen days? That’s over a hundred million people!” some people’s complexions turned extremely sour, “Impossible, there are too many people, how can we evacuate so many from the island in such a short time? Even if all the ships in the world are rerouted it won’t be enough!”
“Evacuate as many as we can! Otherwise, over a hundred million Undead will rush towards the East Continent, even quickly reaching Mao Country and the Northern Alliance! They don’t need ships! They’re fast and can’t be intercepted, and once they spread out along the Undead World, the number of casualties will be far greater and more brutal than during the Blood Demon War!”
Right, it’s not just a matter of a hundred million people.
The Undead can reach any place they want through the Undead World!
Mainly, currently, only Shen Hao could enter the Undead World.
But even Shen Hao wouldn’t be able to stop such a large number of Undead from spreading!
A massive wave of Undead would sweep across the entire East Continent, bringing more death, more Undead!
In this scenario, if over a hundred million people die within a short period, the final number of casualties might reach several billion, or even in the worst-case scenario, it could evolve into a true Undead apocalypse!
