Chapter 36: Chapter 36: Spare No Expense, Annihilate Them!
“`
This situation was actually within expectations. Once the decision had been made to root out all the Blood Demons, they would certainly struggle desperately, bringing a lot of destruction and death.
But if we didn’t do this, and delayed the action, the death toll might not necessarily be less.
The first version of the official Blood Demon Prevention manual, after all, was just for prevention. In reality, it could only pose a certain obstruction, and couldn’t truly stop the spread and proliferation of the Blood Demons.
Moreover, the strength of a civilization required points, it required battle!
The authorities also planned to treat Donghua City as a test within this war, to see if a safe zone could be established, and how much sacrifice it would entail.
So during this period, a large number of personnel had been transferred over.
It was not just the military but also included other Chosen One squads.
They were not directly under Shen Hao’s command, but in this cleanup campaign in Donghua City, they were all coordinated by Shen Hao.
“This is the center of propaganda. I suggest that Liu Ruoxi and I stay behind,” Yang Jun said quickly. “I’ll be in charge of the overall command, and the camera will focus on Liu Ruoxi.”
“I have no problem with that,” Liu Ruoxi agreed.
She understood that her image was indeed more suitable for the camera.

After thinking for a moment, she directly tore off the bandage on her face.
After using the medicine Shen Hao provided, the wound on her face was healing rapidly, but not so quickly. At least for now, it still showed a fierce scar with visible pink new flesh.
Paired with her face, one of the most beautiful in the world.
This appearance, this contrast, needless to say, just the look itself could bring a powerful visual impact!
“Hurry up. You lead the team to Building 28. All the hostages and Blood Demons are concentrated in the lobby on the first floor,” commanded Yang Jun, taking over the command channel decisively. “After dealing with them, move on to support other areas.”
“Got it!” Liu Ruoxi immediately selected ten warriors.
The notified reporters also hurriedly followed, cameras in tow.
The Elite Squad, selected from the military, even from among the special operations forces, consisted of true elites.
Although they were not Chosen Ones, each had seen their share of battles.
Even armed with ordinary weapons, knowing the weaknesses, they could still deal with Blood Demons. What’s more, they were equipped with weapons purchased by Shen Hao from the mall. It could be said that they were now the strongest Non-Chosen One squad in this war!
Each wore a helmet that completely covered their head. The moment they appeared on camera, they carried an air of formidable presence.
Immediately capturing the attention of countless viewers.
“So cool!”
“Watching this makes me want to enlist.”
“What kind of weapons are they carrying? I’ve never seen them before!”
“…”
But when Liu Ruoxi appeared on camera, the intensity of the barrage of messages increased explosively!
“Oh my God!”
“What happened with the scar on her face?”
“No way! The Blood Demon did this?”
“I’m crying. She used to be such a great beauty!”
“No! My heart feels so heavy all of a sudden!”
“`
“I may not be beautiful, but if I got slashed across the face like that, I definitely wouldn’t want to live!”
“Ahhh! Such a waste of beauty!”
“…”
As expected, Liu Ruoxi’s appearance, and the injuries on her face, brought a huge shock to most people in front of the camera.
Even the reporters, seeing her for the first time, were momentarily stunned.
But she reacted quickly now.
She addressed the camera directly, “What everyone sees is a Chosen One. She is not a soldier, nor is she a warrior. Up until the day before yesterday, she was just a third-year jewelry design student. But it was this girl, who should have been the apple of everyone’s eye, who stepped onto the battlefield last night and personally killed over twenty Blood Demons, suffering injuries all over her body—this is the war we are in: What we cherish, admire, and appreciate, is utterly worthless and meaningless in the eyes of a Blood Demon!”
To the average person, this scene was indeed very impactful!
Liu Ruoxi’s beauty was undeniably world-class. The moment she appeared on camera, she could easily go viral, garnering the adoration of countless people, becoming the goddess of many, and enjoying a life cherished by thousands.
But at this moment, she held a weapon, stepping onto the brutal battlefield! Facing the cruel, terrifying Blood Demons that didn’t care at all about her peerless beauty!
Why?
Many people had this thought at that moment. Even as a Chosen One, why was she appearing in a place that she seemed so out of place?
But then, as the figures of the Blood Demons appeared on camera, a new wave of shock hit everyone face to face!
But this time, it was the extreme of gore and brutality!
More than a dozen utterly monstrous Blood Demons were feasting in the lobby among a crowd of people, voraciously, insanely devouring humans amidst the wails and screams of hundreds, including even children a few years old!
Even though the director promptly turned the picture to a grey hue and added mosaics to the scene, that instant still deeply shocked countless people!
This wasn’t a horror movie or a scene of morbid curiosity, but a live broadcast! It was something that was actually happening!
“Ugh—!”
The host’s vomiting sound came through, and the scene before her eyes even caused this professional host to be unable to control her physiological reaction.
This level of cruelty was unimaginable during the peaceful times of the past!
In front of the camera, no one knew how many people were screaming loudly or even crying in fright.
Even Liu Ruoxi felt her stomach churning at this moment.
Even her Transcendent Constitution couldn’t suppress her emotions at this moment!
“Chosen One!” The Blood Demons had also noticed them, their hoarse and fierce voices coming through, seeming to carry the sound of chewing, “There are over four hundred people here. It’ll only take us about ten seconds to kill them all. There are even more upstairs, but if you leave, we’ll only eat a dozen or so each day.”
“Everyone!” the host continued, struggling to steady her voice despite her emotions, “We all heard it, the Blood Demons are negotiating terms. But according to the official intelligence, consuming humans allows Blood Demons to rapidly grow stronger… Seeing such brutal scenes, it’s time to abandon all illusions, all naivety! Blood Demons are the true Monsters, and only one side between us can survive! So we must fight, we must utterly annihilate them! We must eliminate them at all costs!”
Towards the end, she was clenching her teeth, the words forced through the gaps in her teeth.
Her fists were clenched as well.
Even though her entire body shuddered, even though the blood-soaked scenes before her filled her with immense fear.
But beyond the fear, there was anger!
Extreme anger!
“We humans took tens of thousands of years to stand at the top of the food chain! How could we be dragged down by such Monsters! Reduced to food!”
Accompanied by the host’s roar that seemed to burst from her chest, Liu Ruoxi moved!
