As the military region's orders were systematically disseminated a week ago, the national machinery of China was fully operational.
At this time, almost all remote towns on the Chinese mainland had been completely emptied, and the people had been evacuated to nearby shelters.
The once bustling city is now completely desolate, and the empty urban area can continue to operate for a while thanks to the automation process.
On the scrolling screens in major city centers, countless dangerous scenes of fighting against the demons were publicly broadcast, showing the world the cruelty of this war, and at the same time, trying to persuade those residents who still did not take it seriously and hid at home.
It must be said that although this method of promotion is crude, it is surprisingly effective.
After witnessing firsthand that the truth of this cataclysmic disaster was not an exaggeration, countless awakened individuals spontaneously took action, joining the military region and rushing to the front lines!
The country has opened up unlimited supplies of various materials, medicines, and spiritual energy crystals, after all, the accumulation of these years has been for this moment!
If we lose, there's no point in keeping it.
After bidding farewell to her husband, parents, and children, the remaining elderly, weak, sick, and disabled were evacuated, just as they had been thirty years ago.
Although the enemies they face now are stronger than the beasts they encountered before, and the environment is more severe, all the warriors are as determined as their predecessors were thirty years ago.
Because they all knew this was a war concerning the survival of their race, and their loved ones were behind them; they had no way out!
It has only been a week since the cave was destroyed, but the destruction caused by these demons has far exceeded people's imagination.
At this time, in addition to the dozen or so entrances controlled by foreign countries being breached one after another, the demon king forces in various places were also suffering a very miserable fate.
Although Young Master Wang unified all the demon kings and passed down his techniques, without a superior countermeasure like the Holy Light Technique, most demon kings still relied on instinctive physical methods to fight back, and their fates were predictable.
Although the Blood God Cult in the Pacific region had poor effects against demons due to its blood energy, it was still able to survive by diving into the deep sea for a while longer. However, other demon kings and strange beasts suffered heavy losses, with countless people dying in this catastrophe.
The peacock clone fared much better. Since its cultivation method was still based on Buddhist techniques, although its damage output was still weak, its defensive capabilities were outstanding. It was also able to maintain a clear mind and was not easily possessed.
This can be considered a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.
Since things started to get chaotic abroad, the situation in China has gradually become less and less optimistic.
Wang Zheng also returned to China early and began rushing around helping to guard the entrances of various grotto-heavens.
But an individual's strength is always insignificant, and given the sheer size of China's population, he could only do his part and try to prolong the time as much as possible.
Although the various military regions have been strictly guarding the several grotto-heavens within China, and the demons within have been firmly pinned down and unable to advance, without the protection of the outer barrier, incidents of demon possession within the country have begun to occur frequently.
The demons have appeared in almost every city, and even in the sanctuaries, many people have suffered.
Fortunately, the various mobile units reacted quickly, and they themselves were protected by holy light runes, which prevented the incident from escalating.
The demonic army on the border is stirring and advancing into China, while the elusive demons within the country are causing trouble, making the people live in fear.
With the support of more than fifty entrances to grotto-heavens within China, and under the relentless, seemingly endless offensive that lasted 24 hours a day, the major military regions gradually began to falter.
After all, although Awakened Ones have strong physical abilities, they are not tireless robots. Even with the support of various recovery potions, they will eventually get tired.
The prolonged fighting on two or even three fronts eventually wore down China, and the situation began to spiral out of control, seemingly reaching a dead end.
The Heavenly Demon's higher-ups have a simple mindset: even though almost everyone in China has holy light talismans within them, the spiritual energy within them is ultimately limited.
Even if it's a 100-to-1 exchange, it's worth it to swarm in and exhaust the opponent's spiritual energy. Then, it's all about satisfying your every whim.
The situation, beset by internal and external troubles, is getting worse. The main forces of the major military regions are taking turns guarding the strongholds, while other mobile forces have begun an endless campaign to catch internal traitors.
Without the protection of the Blue Star Array, there were no restrictions on these demons who wanted to possess others. As long as they rushed out of the cave entrance, they could find a target to possess at will.
Those who are unwilling to leave their homes and accept state protection are easily subdued and their identities are then secretly replaced without anyone noticing.
These possessed beings are incredibly powerful and destructive, causing chaos and keeping various special forces extremely busy.
Moreover, due to the unique and covert nature of demonic possession, all Chinese citizens now need to undergo Holy Light spell tests at least three to four times a day.
The first thing they do every morning is to be bathed in holy light; it has become common for young people to exchange holy light when they meet.
The first thing people often say to each other when they meet is, "Did you receive the Holy Light today?"
If it weren't for the fact that this new ability consumes a lot of energy, and that being hit by multiple beams of holy light in a short period of time might make them look bad, they probably would have just used holy light instead of HELLO!
Under such special circumstances, it was impossible to keep it a secret any longer, and it was inevitable that public sentiment would be unsettled and people would panic.
