Chapter 132: Chapter 132: Crazy Point Scoring, Dominating the Leaderboard!
“Hmm, I can arrive in ten minutes,” Shen Hao said in a deep voice, “Regarding this migration, without considering the fatalities caused by the Undead, how many people do you estimate will die?”
“No fewer than 30 million people,” Dong Gong provided a tremendous number, “Many elderly have essentially been given up on; they will have a hard time surviving this massive migration.”
30 million.
That number was somewhat beyond Shen Hao’s expectations.
Moreover, he could be sure that a vast majority of them would be the elderly and children.
So far, this trial had already seen nearly a million casualties, but this was just the beginning, including Shen Hao, many had predicted that the final number of victims would greatly exceed that of the last time.
“I can’t do much about the casualties caused by natural disasters and the climate, but the Undead will not spread,” Shen Hao said solemnly, “Next, I will take more time to stay there.”
“Understood,” Dong Gong responded.
After the upgrade of the mall to White Quality Level 16, Shen Hao had acquired a new mode of transportation.
A type of Space Fighter!
Yes, compared to the previous civilian space shuttle, this was a weapon-equipped Space Fighter, overall resembling a space shuttle. Even though it was still just the most basic White Quality, the Level 16 status was significant.
He would fly directly into outer space, accelerate to maximum speed, then re-enter the atmosphere.

Within fifteen minutes, he could reach any point on the planet!
This undoubtedly saved Shen Hao considerable time in clearing the Undead.
So, one moment he was in the Northern Alliance, but he could already reach Japan in ten minutes.
At this very moment, the entire country of Japan was already plunged into certain chaos.
Some were crying because they truly did not want to leave, some were shouting that they wanted to evacuate first, many were unwilling to abandon their elderly at home, and indeed, many did not heed the warnings and despairingly chose suicide. From a high vantage, countless people looked as if they were dumplings being dropped one by one, numbly queuing to jump from high buildings.
Kandai Ino, who was in charge of this massive migration, had also fallen into unprecedented despair.
He was the most powerful Chosen One in the country. Realizing that the disaster would engulf his entire nation, he had taken the initiative to stand up and oversee this great migration, hoping to use all his power to save his country.
But within just one day, his initial confidence had turned to despair.
There was too much despair!
“Lord Kandai! A large number of Undead have appeared again in the eastern district! The Mao Country army has decided to retreat.”
“Retreat? There are three million people there!” Kandai Ino suddenly grabbed the subordinate who had come to report, shaking as he yelled, “Are they insane? If we retreat now, tomorrow there will be three million more Level 2 Undead!”
“But they’ve already sacrificed nearly ten thousand people, and as they fight, the number of Undead only increases; they can’t hold on,” the subordinate’s voice was tinged with tears, “We need more forces to protect the evacuation route; there are also increasing numbers of Undead over there!”
“Damn it!” Kandai Ino showed fear as well, “Then let our Cultivators take over! Who else can go to support?”
“No one is left; Undead are appearing everywhere, there’s completely no one left!” the subordinate collapsed entirely on the cold ground.
Within just half an hour, the number of deaths was unimaginably high.
It seemed people were dying everywhere, everywhere there were Undead!
All the Cultivators, even the young people capable of resistance had been conscripted into the forces, handed basic weapons and thrown into battle, but their fighting seemed only to yield more Undead!
At least over five million Undead were invading, and some of them were of very high level! With the death of civilians and soldiers, the number of Undead kept growing!
Even with the Chosen One Association urgently summoning a large number of powerful Chosen Ones one after another, it seemed utterly unable to stop the massive collapse brought by this despair and convergence of the Undead!
But the crisis, it seemed, was not just that.
At that moment, something struck a nearby car.
Everyone instinctively looked over.
Then they saw that it was a chunk of ice the size of a fist.
The next instant, a second piece struck a shop’s signboard, sparking up a flurry of sparks, then a third, a fourth… More and more chunks of ice densely bombarded down, people in the street who were queuing to evacuate ran around in terror, but many were still smashed to the ground, then crushed repeatedly by the falling ice! In just a moment, they were rendered unrecognizable, unable to even scream.
Kandai Ino stared blankly at the sky, witnessing an unprecedented hail storm!
He trembled, seemingly wanting to do something, to at least protect the people before his eyes, but soon realized he could do nothing.
The so-called Chosen One, in the face of such despair, had absolutely no power!
No, there was one Chosen One who was different!
“How much longer until the President arrives?” Kandai Ino pressed hard on his communicator, shouting recklessly, “People are dying every moment, a lot of people! Everyone is in despair! We need the President!”
“Keep calm!” Dong Gong’s voice came through the communicator, “You are the chief in charge, no matter how many people die, as long as there are still people alive, your mission is to lead the living to safety!”
“…” Kandai Ino was rendered speechless; his entire throat choked up.
He once thought he was a tough man, an incredibly strong person, but at this moment, he could feel his own weakness.
However, the voice came through the communicator once more.
“Four more minutes, the President will arrive in four minutes. You can start announcing and begin the countdown.”
“——!”
Kandai Ino suddenly raised his head.
“Four minutes!” he even tore at his throat as he shouted, “Four more minutes and President Shen Hao will be here. Announce to all, let everyone hold on a little longer! Don’t easily give up!”
With a bang, the employees who had been limp on the ground scrambled to their feet, rolling and crawling.
Four minutes!
They were not sure if Shen Hao’s arrival would immediately turn everything around.
But at this moment, everyone in the entire country needed such confidence, a reason to keep going!
And indeed, it was effective.
All the televisions, all the broadcasts were shouting; some Chosen Ones even jumped onto high buildings, shouting at those who were prepared to end their own lives to escape this Hell, and in many people’s numb gazes, it seemed new hope was emerging.
However, it was at this time.
Undead appeared!
More and more undead suddenly burst forth from various places, one ordinary person after another fell in the third round, as if all warmth was snatched away in an instant, their corpses stiff to the extreme!
They were listening!
Kandai Ino immediately realized that the kings among the undead, those intelligent “Ghost Kings” with self-awareness, were also listening!
They were seizing the last opportunity, madly slaughtering!
“Counterattack, counterattack!” Kandai Ino roared, his body emanating a chilly power, he charged into the streets, furiously attacking all the emerging undead.
One by one, armed individuals also kept firing continuously.
But there were too many!
Simply too many!
The yin energy had already spread in vast swathes; people could even see newly born undead directly converging onto fallen corpses, then struggling as they thrust toward the living!
Even as more and more Cultivators and Chosen Ones emanated faint golden lightning, empowered by Shen Hao who was hastening their way, the numbers were simply overwhelming!
The level of “Divine Descent” was set, and power had its limits.
Shen Hao could not protect every person crying out to him.
However—
At a certain moment, within the thick clouds in the sky, suddenly there was a rumble of thunder! Faint golden lightning densely struck down in an instant, constantly appearing and moving throughout the city, swiftly and accurately eliminating one undead after another!
At this moment, the city seemed to be submerged in a golden ocean!
Light was flashing everywhere!
Countless people engaged in battle, including ordinary people fleeing, all excitedly looked up at the sky.
Indeed, Shen Hao had arrived!
“You continue to oversee the retreat, have all the Chosen Ones and Cultivators above Level 5 chant my name!” Shen Hao’s majestic voice appeared in Kandai Ino’s mind.
“Yes! Yes!”
In this moment, Kandai Ino even wanted to devote everything he had!
Those who have never experienced true despair will not understand the value of hope!
At least at this moment when Shen Hao finally arrived, everyone had the courage to fight!
And at this time in the sky above, there appeared two giant eyes composed of golden lightning, overlooking the entire city.
At this moment, Shen Hao took a large amount of potions after a long absence!
All equipment was used up, all abilities, all power, was wildly unleashed towards this city that once housed 14 million people!
At this moment, for Shen Hao, any superfluous words or actions were meaningless.
He had only one thing to do.
Score points! Frantically score points!
He would turn all the undead daring to appear before him into a force that saves civilization!
This moment, not only this planet but people across nine planets, nine civilizations were able to clearly see, the already top-ranked Shen Hao’s performance points start to soar again!
Throughout the star system, there arose voices filled with astonishment and even a hint of somberness.
“What a powerful Chosen One!”
“Which planet is he from?”
“Is he deliberately creating undead?”
“There is no hope of catching up now.”
“This Chosen One will dominate the leaderboard!”
“…”
Yes, under the triple points hack, the massive increase in points Shen Hao gained from scoring prolifically like this had already surpassed other Chosen Ones.
Those few Chosen Ones who were still struggling to catch up were now engulfed in a great sense of defeat.
Unable to catch up, completely unable to catch up!
