Gacha games can't save this bizarre world.

A month later, the Russians provided a rough estimate: more than 3,000 superhumans had died, and more than 5,000 others had been severely eroded by radiation and psionic energy. The lucky ones among them had given up the path of superhumans, while the unlucky ones were likely to become mutants at any time, and the kind of mutant monsters that carry a poison circle with them.

The bodies of most of the victims were difficult to find. More than two thousand bodies were found, and after an exorcism ritual, they were sealed in lead coffins and buried in the abandoned secret realm.

There are no corpses of Bronze Transcendent beings here, because those who sacrificed their lives were the ones who rushed to the front lines, directly confronting the gaps in the three spatial layers of the Outer, Inner, and Dark realms, repairing the space and calming the psionic fluctuations. They were destined to die, and without a burial place.

The entire area is now sealed off; they are essentially buried alongside Chernobyl...

Ordinary people have also been greatly affected. Among the hundreds of thousands of people involved in the aftermath, some are still dying, and many have become disabled or suffer from illnesses.

Moreover, the number of people affected in the entire region is even greater; in the Ermao area alone, hundreds of thousands or even millions of people are affected.

Moreover, after the mushroom cloud, resembling a ghost face, spread, it carried a large amount of radioactive dust and psionic energy towards Europe.

It is estimated that at least hundreds of thousands of children died or were born with birth defects as a result of this disease in the following decades.

Later, Zhao Hao was invited to oversee the construction of a large-scale permanent barrier. At first, the Russian side was unwilling to invite the American people.

However, he eventually compromised; now is not the time to be willful.

Zhao Hao's skill in creating barriers is unparalleled in the world.

He personally oversaw the construction of more than a dozen large-scale projects, and other large-scale barriers have also drawn on his techniques or ideas.

Zhao Hao, who went there in person, confirmed once again that Francis had sacrificed himself.

Silently, it became a number, a name on a report.

"understood."

The remaining candidates for salvation did not express any sentiments upon hearing the news; they simply became even more silent.

It must be said that the Gotha Church's plan this time was truly remarkable.

This incident was bad enough, but what's truly terrifying is that they have already opened the floodgates to Gotha's influence over the entire world.

Zhao Hao obtained some security data from various countries from some game players. The number of violent incidents was almost doubling every month. After two months, there were rioters on the streets and alleys.

In Liberty City alone, in less than twenty days this month, there have already been thirteen serious bank robberies.

This is the fifth shooting incident so far, and the most serious one resulted in twelve deaths!

Oh, and there are gang shootouts too! They even brazenly openly open car doors and start firing machine guns in broad daylight on the street.

To be honest, this feels a bit like going back to the 1950s or 60s, or even back to the Wild West era!

It is probably comparable to Gotham City.

The Gotha Church's actions this time were an open conspiracy, because once it succeeded, no one could stop the escalation of violence.

It's like the greenhouse effect; we know it, but there's nothing we can do but endure it.

In the past two months, the Gotha Church has deviated from its decades-long low profile and begun to frequently appear in various countries around the world, organizing various violent activities or groups. A joint international organization has already begun meetings to discuss how to respond.

However, there is also good news: the followers of the Lord of All Changes have begun to secretly swindle the Gotha followers.

Although the two had previously joined forces—the Gotha followers infused the psionic sea with violence, which the followers of the Almighty used to eliminate the last remaining staunch red warriors of the Soviet Union—they were now able to play a greater role within the Soviet Union.

Nothing excites the Anonymous, the master of all change, more than a chaotic bear, a place where they can showcase their talents in intrigue and treachery.

……

Amei's Backyard, Mo Du Ge.

It was election month for the Mexican politician, and various states were electing governors and ruling parties.

At that moment, an unlicensed SUV suddenly sped out of the alley, crashing into the polling station amidst chaos. The SUV opened the door, threw a bloody object into the polling station, and then sped away.

That bloody mess was a human head. It was the head of a candidate.

Now in the twentieth day of election month, more than eighty candidates across the states have been murdered. That's an average of more than four a day!

Candidates who felt their rivals had a better chance of winning began to physically eliminate their competitors, leveraging their respective backing.

At this point, the car had already rushed to the outskirts of the city and started changing cars in a hidden parking lot.

A tall, bearded man got out of the car. He had two large-caliber pistols tucked into his waistband, a dagger in his calf, and a submachine gun in his hand.

He took a deep drag of his cigarette, then spat out the butt and stomped it out hard.

He glanced back at the bloodstains on the car, a bloodthirsty smile spreading across his face: "God must love violence, otherwise why is violence everywhere?" His eyes were bloodshot...

At this point, even within a city, Mo Du Ge had already divided into several opposing districts, with each gang carving out its own territory.

Because of the official incompetence, they were unable to establish the large-scale urban psionic suppression barrier provided by Zhao Hao, which resulted in the frequent appearance of extraordinary beings.

It's not uncommon for some supernatural creature to snatch away, eat, or harm a few people.

If you live in a ground-level house, you're afraid some supernatural creature from the ground will burrow and carry you away. If you live in an apartment building, you worry about encountering some carnivorous supernatural bird of prey.

During the day, they worry that some extraordinary beasts might break out; at night, they worry that some eerie beings might harm people.

Of course, the greatest dangers are posed by gangs and drug dealers. Humans are more frightening than monsters.

Civilization is regressing; the civilization of all humankind is regressing.

Villages in the wild have mostly disappeared, and only a few towns have managed to build high walls to defend themselves.

Ordinary people can no longer go outside the city, and only large organizations with a large number of gunmen and superhumans dare to go out to transport goods.

Food supplies are already a serious problem, and energy resources are depleted.

People outside the city are now in constant danger of losing their lives. Those inside the city are safer, but they are struggling to get food and supplies are becoming scarce.

Civilian vehicles have all stopped refueling; the last remaining oil is to be supplied to the government and the military.

This doomsday feels like it's already here!

Even in Ami, the situation isn't much better.

The Ami authorities are more forceful, and the city is much more stable due to the presence of a large barrier.

However, while the barrier can control the large-scale appearance of extraordinary creatures, it cannot control the large-scale appearance of thugs.

America is a country with rampant gun violence, where gunshots can be heard every day, like popping beans.

Moreover, due to the current surge in psionic energy, even wild plants are growing incredibly vigorously.

Some less-traveled roads have begun to be overtaken by weeds and vegetation. The abandoned towns will soon be submerged in vegetation.

However, this situation has had a huge impact on food production. Those plants are aggressively squeezing out the living space of food crops.

According to calculations by the United Nations, more than half of the world’s population will face famine in the second half of this year, and most of the remaining half will also face food shortages.

Unexpectedly, the first major disaster people faced was famine!

After thinking it over, Zhao Hao decided to offer some assistance, especially to Central and South America.

He sent some players whose souls had already been given to him to Central and South America to provide assistance, helping them to establish themselves and develop their influence.

Then give them the extraordinary banana 666 that the Minions cultivated to satisfy their cravings.

This thing can now be grown in the surface world, and because of its high psionic level, the yield is enormous.

No food to eat? Have some bananas!

Moreover, this thing can be transformed into psionic energy through alchemy! It's truly a treasure from head to toe!

The supernatural powers in Central and South America were already relatively weak, and the previous incidents involving lizardmen and snakemen resulted in a complete purge.

Today, Zhao Hao's dozen or so brand ambassadors are beginning to make a name for themselves in various countries.

They will select a suitable piece of land and have Zhao Hao densely deploy psionic base stations across Central and South America.

Zhao Hao's psionic base stations have now successfully occupied parts of Japan and Southeast Asia, some strongholds in Europe, and most of Central and South America.

The psionic network formed in conjunction with the psionic Den Den Mushi has already begun to show its power.

Within the psionic network's coverage area, players can receive various bonuses and buffs, and can also spend psionic energy to obtain various forms of assistance. These range from purchasing resources and items, to asking other players for help, increasing the success rate of potions and alchemy, and enhancing extraordinary equipment, among other things…

Moreover, Zhao Hao can use the psionic network to achieve long-distance, large-scale teleportation of supplies and personnel. In this era where almost all land, sea, and air transportation is doomed to perish, this is simply a divine skill!

Zhao Hao can even directly enter dreams within the scope of the psionic network! Dream reality technology has been achieved!

Chapter 516 Professional Scammers and the World Needs Heroes!

Early autumn, late at night, dark clouds obscuring the moon, in a dilapidated manor.

Downton Abbey, located in the suburbs of Boston, was originally an excellent location. At its peak, someone offered $800 million for the land, but Robert Downton's father, Robert Downton Sr., refused to sell. After all, it was ancestral property.

But things have changed drastically since then.

The spiritual energy revival began in the 70s, accelerated in the 80s, and is now happening faster every day.

The surface world, imbued with psionic energy, has undergone a complete transformation. It's like a completely different world!

The once bustling factory area is now eerily silent, its furnaces extinguished. Instead, strange and malevolent spirits lurk within!

The more exploitative the flesh-and-blood factories are, the more evil spirits will roam there.

It was as if the resentment of those who died unjustly and the workers had never dissipated.

With the frequent appearance of extraordinary creatures in the wild, even remote towns could be wiped out at any time, so the former suburbs are no longer safe.

In fact, as early as three months ago, Boston officials had already amended the laws and maps, which resulted in the shrinking of the area.

Suburbs like Downton Abbey are no longer under Boston's jurisdiction, so Boston is not responsible for their security.

After all, building a city barrier costs money, and it can't be too big.

If safety can't be guaranteed, who would buy a house?

You can't just issue a price limit order and expect it to restrict your father, can you?

However, Downton Abbey was now overgrown with weeds, and even the decaying grass was producing fireflies—a supernatural phenomenon where tiny, luminous insects, half-living and half-elf, sprouted from the rotting grass. Clearly, the place was no longer suitable for human habitation.

But the place wasn't empty—Robert Downton was still there.

Before his extraordinary breakthrough, Robert Downton was a playboy and a spoiled brat who spent his days chasing and preparing to chase women.

However, the drastic changes in the world destroyed his happy sex life.

His father was killed by a supernatural being while negotiating a business deal, and his mother, filled with grief and anger, developed a spiritual illness.

This disease is not a specific symptom, but a general term.

People with high psychic potential will either awaken their psychic abilities and become superhumans or undergo mutations and become mutants when stimulated by extraordinary events.

However, in general, it has little to do with the general public, since only one in a hundred or so people have high psychic potential.
