Chapter 61: Chapter 61: Sweep the Second Stage!
The existence of the Civilization Trial is a secret to most people in this current world.
Even though many have connected the “Star Jump incident,” “Chosen One,” and “Blood Demon” together, there is no clear direction.
It wasn’t until the first Blood Demon Mother was caught, and the existence of the “Civilization Trial” was known, that everything came together.
But what followed was deep fear.
People didn’t know who created the Civilization Trial, nor what the purpose of this trial was.
The only known fact was that humans, in front of such an existence, were even more insignificant than ants before humans, finding absolutely no room for resistance.
Even the whole planet seemed like a glass ball in a child’s hand, able to be manipulated at will.
Yet, even so, burying one’s head in the sand, pretending to know nothing, was pointless.
The document in Shen Hao’s hands was a file, one that temporarily would only be accessible to those with enough trust and courage.
Perhaps one day in the future, this file would be officially declassified and disclosed to everyone worldwide.
Therefore, Shen Hao took this opportunity to write out some of the information he had obtained from the hack in his own name.
“…I do not believe that the existence of the Civilization Trial is merely a game, or a fighting pit intended for amusement, because it provides a pathway to become stronger. In any case, surviving the trial and becoming stronger until the day we know everything is what we need to do, and the only choice to survive in the trial.”

After reading the last paragraph he had written, Shen Hao flipped through other people’s opinions and analysis and then stored the file away.
It appeared in his hands because he had the authority to decide whom he deemed qualified to access it.
However, the most pressing issue was still dealing with the Blood Demon.
Shen Hao opened his Chosen One interface.
After spending these five days clearing out Blood Demons and assimilating resources, his data had changed significantly.
[Constitution: 19]
[Spirit: 23]
[Transcendent: 13]
[Level: 4]
Yes, he had reached the fourth level.
His tri-dimensional strength had also improved by more than double.
However, as the data increased, he could clearly feel that the efficiency of his basic three dimensions’ improvement was beginning to slow down.
Because the tier of resources in the store could no longer meet his needs.
To boost his advancement faster, he needed better resources.
Ultimately, it came down to the store level again.
Over these days, he had cleared out approximately six thousand eight hundred Blood Demons. Since they were only kills, the points gained were one million one hundred thousand, and with the points he had before, his total now nearly reached one million seven hundred thousand.
He was still short by over three hundred thousand points to unlock the White Level 5 Mall.
This was an astonishing efficiency, and the only limitation to his scoring was the transportation speed and the number of Blood Demons.
“Over three hundred thousand, just two thousand more Blood Demons should be enough.” Shen Hao felt somewhat regretful, “If only I had the points hack now, I would have had enough already.”
But, he only needed to wait two more days!
Shen Hao was very much looking forward to it.
Points hacks are never too many.
At that moment, Dong Gong’s communication also came through.
“Team leader, we have only found two areas where the Matrix had been present for a short time, and moreover, we can’t guarantee that the Matrix is still in the same location,” Dong Gong said somewhat helplessly, “because the Blood Demon Parasite event in this place happened ten hours ago. If the Matrix realizes that the parasitic activity has been exposed, it might flee.”
“Not might, it definitely will flee,” Shen Hao was not surprised.
The Blood Demon Mother isn’t foolish, it most likely knows about his abilities by now.
Rather, the best option should be to immediately try to flee the country. Those who don’t flee and even dare to continue parasitizing truly have guts.
After all, within the vicinity of any Blood Demon exhibiting parasitic behavior, there must be a Matrix, as the Spiritual Network has a distance limitation.
“Ten hours have already made it difficult to capture, and you have to count the time it takes for me to get there, we need to further increase efficiency,” Shen Hao stated again.
“Our alert system is continuously being optimized, but the Blood Demon’s parasitic actions are becoming more secretive and are now showing mobility, not remaining in one place,” Dong Gong explained, “Although this considerably slows down the spread, similarly, under stable conditions to act, those being parasitized don’t even have the chance to press the alert button.”
In fact, Shen Hao had exchanged for quite a few Sensing Talismans during this time.
But limited by the number, he could only send them to various cities for random checks.
Indeed, traces of Blood Demons had been spotted in many cities through these checks, but typically, the Matrices had already relocated and didn’t stay in their original cities, which substantially increased the difficulty of capturing the Matrices.
The current method of detection still depended on the alert system; some people managed to press the alert button during their struggles, or their actions were noticed by people around them or by surveillance, only then confirming the parasitic actions in progress.
Even so, some Blood Demon Mothers, realizing they had triggered an alert, would quickly flee.
After all, once Shen Hao arrived, they only had a dead end, not even a chance to play hide and seek.
“Give me the address of the other location first; dealing with one is better than none,” Shen Hao finally said.
Even though he knew that the worldwide Blood Demon war was still not looking optimistic and time was still very tight, at this point, other than being a bit more patient and upgrading the store rapidly, there weren’t many good options left.
“Yes!” Dong Gong acknowledged.
The entire cleanup plan had just finished its first stage, completing the first review of strategic departments such as the military zone, weapons, and management.
Now, it was time for the second stage.
To locate and capture all the Blood Demon Mothers nationwide!
However, when Shen Hao quickly arrived at the first city aboard a supersonic fighter jet, his brows were slightly furrowed.
“Only over a hundred Blood Demons, the Mother must have arrived not long ago, how long before did the parasitic event occur?” he quickly asked.
“Two hours and thirty-seven minutes ago,” Dong Gong reported, “All the outbound channels had been intercepted at the first opportunity.”
“Then there should still be time,” Shen Hao immediately used resources to boost his Spirit to thirty points.
The map rapidly expanded.
Then, his eyes lit up.
“Found them!”
About thirty kilometers from the city, a dozen Blood Demons were rapidly fleeing.
With the roads blocked and vehicles made unreachable, a mere two hours were not enough to allow the Mother to escape the range of Shen Hao’s map!
It can be said, the moment the Mother’s figure appeared on the map, the outcome was already sealed!
No need to take another flight, Shen Hao directly used Telekinesis to levitate and rapidly dive.
As he landed in front of the Mother, another Mother became a captive under the Sovereign’s suppression!
