Chapter 31: Chapter 31: Formal Declaration of War!
“…”
No one could answer that question, but it had to be said, at this moment, they felt quite envious of that country in the East.
And their envy was solely because of one person!
The ability to identify monsters! The ability to slaughter monsters!
In the midst of this crisis, achieving either of these made one a natural hero, a darling of fate; it would bolster the entire country’s confidence! Their own safety would be greatly ensured!
“Go dig him out!” the old man suddenly said, “I don’t care what it costs, be it money or beauties, just dig him out, give him whatever he asks for! He will become the darling of the entire world, as well as ours!”
“Yes, yes!” everyone hurriedly nodded.
“What are you still standing around for?”
“…Ah?” Everyone seemed somewhat dazed.
“Aren’t you going to recruit a few skilled translators, take out your steel pens, your notebooks, and listen carefully to that damn prevention guide!” the old man pounded on the table, gritting his teeth so hard that one might wonder if he would spit blood and faint the next second.
Indeed, at this moment, it wasn’t just them.
The whole world, whether national leaders, billionaires, or ordinary people, as long as they received the news, all awaited the first official announcement from a major power with various means.

They were eager, anxious to know the answer, to know the methods to combat the monsters.
By the time of the announcement, leading up to the formal start of the press conference, the number of viewers had increased to an unprecedented level!
As someone once said.
Just this piece of intelligence was enough to record Shen Hao’s achievements in the entire history of humanity!
The whole world would remember!
It enlightened humans about the enemy; they were no longer in the dark!
However, Shen Hao himself didn’t feel much.
Not that he was unaware of the intelligence’s importance, but he knew very clearly that this was just the beginning for him.
The title “Savior” was meant to bear the grace of an entire civilization.
He too was watching the conference at this moment.
This time, it was obviously different from any before.
Just the first sentence after the opening had already ignited countless emotions.
“This is a war!”
“We name the monsters Blood Demons, and the word ‘Demon’ represents their complete opposition to humans, for the presence of any Blood Demon signifies the deprivation of human life. Therefore, there is no possibility for reconciliation in this war; the only end is the complete eradication of Blood Demons from our civilization!”
“This is our formal declaration of war against the Blood Demons!”
In the 21st century, few major countries make such extreme, uncompromisingly hostile declarations in official speeches.
Especially this country.
But today, no one felt it was wrong, in fact, quite the opposite.
It needed to be this tough! This fierce!
At this moment, on social media, one comment quickly rose to the top in a short time, with countless people liking and agreeing with it.
“Every Blood Demon is born with the original sin of murder!”
An eye for an eye, blood for blood; the hatred and fear brought by blood can only be cleansed with blood!
This moment’s toughness and fierceness were undeniably the most reliable promise to all humans!
It also set a tone, a consensus for this war.
——Either humans or monsters must perish!
“We don’t need to be overly afraid of the Blood Demons, as they are not without weaknesses, nor are they invincible; in fact, the scales of victory are still tipped in our favor at the current stage. Below are the weaknesses that we have discovered and summarized.” The speaker had reached the crucial point, and everyone was listening intently.
Abroad, there were countless translators.
Even in highly formal meetings, attended by numerous formidable personages, everyone was taking notes with utmost seriousness.
“First: Blood Demons have a fatal vulnerability at the neck. If it’s slashed, they can be killed instantly.”
In the video, a small screen was even divided from the main one, showing footage of Shen Hao killing a Blood Demon amidst a crowd.
Even Shen Hao had not expected this.
But, since he had already come to the fore, and had become thoroughly famous, he didn’t mind the exposure.
“Second: Blood Demons fear cold weather; in cold environments, their reactions become significantly duller.”
The footage switched to a scene where a Blood Demon was hit by a freeze gun. It could break free, but its speed and reaction time were visibly slowed.
Those living in the north couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Even though there was a new Sun and the climate was a bit warmer than before, the north was still the coldest region.
Blood Demons wouldn’t like it there.
“Third: Sharp sound waves cause greater irritation to Blood Demons; they are more painful than to humans.”
This third point was something Shen Hao had forced out the previous night, and it caught many people’s attention.
Freezing methods might be hard to come by, but sharp sound waves were quite easy to generate.
Even if it’s just scratching glass, that was something ordinary people could do.
Even if it wasn’t lethal to Blood Demons, as long as it provided even a slight chance to escape, it was a chance for survival!
In fact, this could even be regarded as a somewhat imprecise and inefficient method of identification.
Beyond these three points, several more were listed, although the effectiveness gradually diminished.
For example, Blood Demons dislike salt and feel very uncomfortable when sprinkled with it, or Blood Demons detest dry environments…
Everyone committed these points firmly to memory.
This intelligence was incredibly valuable at the current stage.
And the more critical information was still to come.
——The parasitic method of the Blood Demons!
The Blood Demon larvae, capable of dissolving into liquids, are introduced into the body by injection or ingestion, and the host must give up struggling!
The disclosure of this fact greatly alleviated everyone’s fear. Even though they were still in danger, at least now they knew where the danger came from and didn’t have to worry that mere breathing or even seeing something would result in being parasitized and replaced!
Even in a family, as long as one managed what was drank carefully, there would be a basic peace of mind.
At the end of the press conference, numerous preventive suggestions were listed.
“Do not consume any cold beverages; it’s best to drink only boiled hot water and not to casually look away even before the hot water cools down enough to drink.”
“Households can equip themselves with special noise generators, which we will also begin to design and produce as soon as possible.”
“Avoid being alone with others as much as possible; it’s best to remain in groups of five or more.”
“…”
“If you suspect someone to be a Blood Demon, immediately call the police! Or look for the nearest patrol team!”
“…”
“If you are unfortunately parasitized, do your best to struggle! Never give up hope!”
“…”
Some of this content may seem simple or even superfluous, but if it can cause even the slightest disturbance to the Blood Demon’s parasitism and spread, it could save countless lives all over the world!
