However, despite this.
For the vast majority of ordinary people, they have never seen the Calamity Beast in person.
Although the Supervision Bureau also allows supervisors like Shen Heng to film some videos to the best of their ability.
However, official footage can only satisfy some of the needs of netizens, not all of them.
For this reason, a group of people have even become popular online under the guise of searching for "Calamity Beast".
Because the Supervision Bureau usually handles the encounters with Calamity Beast in the city relatively quickly, they have no choice but to search in remote mountainous areas.
But making money is one thing, but you only have one life, and most people understand that.
As a result, many people started using their phones to livestream from the mountains near their homes, claiming they were searching for the Calamity Beast.
It did attract a lot of people at first, but then it lost its appeal.
After all, netizens are genuinely here to see the Calamity Beast Calamity Beast; how can you expect to avoid encountering it?!
Therefore, the live streaming version began to be iterated.
From the footprints that weren't human, which were discovered by chance, to the claw marks on the tree, and then to the figure in the distance that was clearly not human.
The most popular one was a blogger who fabricated stories.
He had a set of Scalearmor custom-made for his horse, then fitted it onto the horse perfectly before placing it on the grass.
From a distance, it looked exactly like a horse-like Calamity Beast.
The local Supervision Bureau even contacted him specifically, advising him to stay away from the area where the Calamity Beast had been discovered.
After all, the grasslands are so vast, they can't possibly manage them all.
The man panicked, but since the truth hadn't been revealed and he couldn't admit to forging documents, he could only nod in agreement.
The incident came to light later because the person, having tasted the benefits of online traffic, secretly filmed several more times.
Then some netizens went there after hearing about him, wanting to go with him to find the Calamity Beast. When they arrived, they found him putting custom-made Scalearmor on his horse.
As a result, the matter came to light.
Afterwards, the local Supervision Bureau was practically laughed to death by everyone else.
But there was no other way; they could only give him a stern warning and, incidentally, confiscate his custom-made 'vest'.
However, there are many fakes online.
But there are also some who are true warriors.
They truly acted on their words; they went to remote mountainous areas whenever they wanted.
They even managed to capture a distant view of the Calamity Beast.
After all, the land is so vast, and what a country can mainly manage is the area where humans live.
Regarding human settlements, the number of Calamity Beast has been rising rapidly, so Great Xia has launched a massive project within the country.
It guides people from small villages and mountain towns—basically, places with very small populations—to migrate to cities with relatively larger populations near their original locations.
This project encountered many problems from the very beginning.
Issues such as housing and livelihood after relocation, as well as the emotional entanglement of being reluctant to leave one's homeland.
The most difficult aspect to handle is the emotional entanglement of being reluctant to leave one's homeland.
Some people, especially some elderly people, would rather die than move.
In their words, from the moment they were born, they stood on that land and never left it in their entire lives.
Now, rather than letting them move away, it's better to let them die there.
Due to similar issues, work in many small mountain villages came to a standstill.
The turning point came with the uploading of a certain video.
It was a dimly lit night.
A surveillance camera located under the eaves captured footage of Scalearmor over a meter tall crashing through the door of a house that was still in the village.
Terrified cries and desperate pleas for help echoed through the village.
No one dared to go out, except for one person.
An official stationed there was persuading people to move.
When the nearest members of the Supervision Bureau arrived, all they saw was an old man sitting silently on the doorframe with his head down, and a trail of blood that stretched all the way into the mountains.
After that, the relocation process accelerated dramatically.
Grayish-white resettlement buildings sprang up like mushrooms after rain, followed by one after another factories producing parts for unknown equipment that didn't require many personnel...
"Gurgle... gurgle..."
The engine hummed softly, finally falling silent with a "click".
Shen Heng got out of the car. He didn't take his knife. He simply locked the car door and headed home.
Compared to the stable Order at home, things were quite chaotic abroad in the first few months.
Because the Great Xia Ruins Realm had shared information about the Ruins Realm's attention to Blue Star with them, they were caught in a dilemma: whether or not to release the information about the Calamity Beast.
Like the Great Xia, many foreign countries had previously concealed information about the Ruins Realm and established special organizations to deal with the Calamity Beast.
For example, the Paranormal Threat Defense Agency (PTDA) in the Rice Country;
The Winter Guard of the Polar Bear Country (WK for short);
The Royal Bureau of Anomalous Creatures (RBAC) in the Britain;
Others include the Spirit Calamity Countermeasures Headquarters of the Cherry Blossom Country, the Wilderness Patrol of the Kangaroo Country, and the Garuda Unit of the White Elephant Country.
The existence of these organizations.
Indeed, there were factors at play to prevent the leakage of information about the Calamity Beast, which could lead to social unrest.
However, many organizations also exist with the aim of better controlling the resources of the Calamity Beast.
After Great Xia informed them of the investigation results, they hesitated for a while before finally releasing the information about the Ruins Realm one by one.
As they expected, a huge uproar ensued.
Many people simply do not believe the so-called " Calamity Beast " threat, thinking it is just an excuse for the government to control the people.
Of course, many others did believe it.
Whether they believe it or not, it doesn't stop them from taking this opportunity to do some free shopping.
Supermarkets, pharmacies, and arms shops were looted within hours of the announcement.
In some countries with already lax laws, gangs and private armed groups that had prior knowledge of the situation even took the opportunity to seize control of parts of the town and declare autonomy.
Subsequently, government forces in many countries began a grueling process of suppressing the riots.
This situation lasted for about two or three months before it stabilized again.
Although some countries still choose to continue concealing information in order to keep resources in the hands of their rulers, these cases mostly occur in countries that are generally less developed and where ordinary people have limited access to information.
Overall, Blue Star is now almost in a stable and gradual process of fighting against the Ruins Realm.
It's just unclear whether it can effectively stop the invasion from the Ruins Realm.
"Call..."
Shen Heng let out a long breath.
Compared to this, he is now more worried about something else...
"Click!"
The door opened.
Shen Heng pushed open the door and walked into the room.
A faint cough would come over not long after.
"Cough cough... cough cough..."
