88: Western Alliance spies have all come out? Tiangong has been waiting for this for a long time!

When the energy overlords of the old era, consumed by fear of the future, descended into their final madness, brandishing their butcher's knives at the pioneers of the new era in the most primitive and barbaric way, an unprecedented, global spy frenzy quietly began!

All the world's top assassin organizations! All the world's most mysterious intelligence agencies! All the world's most greedy desperadoes! All swarmed like hyenas smelling blood! From every corner of the world, they surged madly towards that Eastern nation, which they perceived as brimming with endless wealth and glory!

Their goal was one!

That was—Lu Chen!

The mysterious youth, only eighteen years old, who single-handedly shifted the entire world order!

For a time! The entire Xia Country was on edge! Every bush and tree seemed like an enemy!

The Dragon Shield Bureau even entered its most tense and humiliating Level One combat readiness state since its establishment!

Humiliation! That's right! It was humiliation!

To think that Long Weiguo and his group of iron-blooded elites, who had crawled out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, had to protect a defenseless youth! And be harassed by a bunch of petty fleas and bugs, causing chaos and unrest!

This was simply the greatest humiliation of their Dragon Shield Bureau's existence!

"Bang!!!"

Long Weiguo slammed his fist heavily on the alloy conference table! His sharp eyes were bloodshot and filled with towering rage!

"Damn it! These dog-like flies!"

"They're like lingering spirits!"

"I really want to lead a team to Wall Street right now! And twist off the heads of those fat, greedy pigs!"

Qin Feng and the other high-ranking officials of the Dragon Shield Bureau beside him also had ashen faces.

For the past half month, they had barely closed their eyes! Every day, they were locked in a battle of wits and courage with the pervasive Western Alliance spies!

Although with the help of heavenly craft, they had successfully foiled dozens of infiltration and assassination plots!

However! This feeling of only being able to passively defend, playing whack-a-mole every day! It was truly too damn frustrating!

"Director Long, this can't go on!" Qin Feng said with a solemn expression. "The enemy is hidden, and we are exposed. Even the most meticulous plan can have a flaw. What if—what if—a fish slips through and reaches Mr. Lu Chen? The consequences would be unimaginable!"

"I know!" Long Weiguo waved his hand irritably! How could he not know this truth?! But what could he do?!

There were simply too many enemies! Too crazy! They were endless, uncatchable!

Just as everyone was at a loss and in complete silence, a calm voice, as if everything was under control, suddenly echoed from the conference room's broadcast.

"Director Long."

"Who said we can only passively defend?"

It was Lu Chen!

"Lu Chen?!" Long Weiguo suddenly looked up, and a flame of hope instantly ignited in his bloodshot eyes! "You brat, you have a plan?!"

"A plan? Not really."

In the video feed, Lu Chen was still lying calmly on his levitating chair, leisurely sipping tea.

"It's just that I feel the cat-and-mouse prelude has gone on long enough."

"It's time—" A cold, cruel arc formed at the corner of his mouth, "—to close the door and beat the dog."

"Close the door and beat the dog?!" Long Weiguo was stunned.

"Exactly." Lu Chen nodded.

He extended a finger and gently tapped the air.

The next second! A huge, sci-fi-like three-dimensional global network topology map! Was clearly presented before everyone's eyes!

It was a vast star map composed of countless data light points and energy lines shimmering in different colors!

And at the center of the star map! A terrifying entity emanating a golden, sacred light! Like a deity governing the entire data universe! Silently overlooked its billions of subjects!

That was—heavenly craft!

"Director Long, look." Lu Chen pointed at the vast star map and smiled faintly. "This is what we call the 'internet' on this planet, a seemingly free and open, but in reality, a broken sieve full of loopholes and backdoors."

"And now—" His tone shifted! A hint of god-like absolute control flashed in his dark eyes, as vast as the universe! "—this broken sieve belongs to me."

As soon as he finished speaking!

The golden "deity" at the center of the star map suddenly moved!

Its massive body, composed of infinite data, instantly transformed into billions of golden data torrents! Spreading wildly to every corner of the star map at a terrifying, near-warp speed!

The Western Alliance Pentagon's military network! The CIA's intelligence network! Wall Street's financial network!

All those top-secret network fortresses that the Western Alliance considered their "lifelines"!

Before this world-destroying golden torrent! They couldn't even offer the slightest resistance! They were instantly washed clean!

All firewalls were rendered useless! All encryption protocols were like jokes!

"This, this—" Long Weiguo pointed at the scene before him, which could only be described as a "miracle," his lips trembling, unable to utter a complete sentence!

He knew Lu Chen was amazing! And heavenly craft was amazing! But he never dreamed! They were so amazing that they could completely control the global internet within a second!

This was no longer "hacking"! This was clearly the genesis god of the network world!

"Alright." Lu Chen clapped his hands as if he had just done something trivial. "Now the entire fish pond is mine."

"It's time to cast the net."

He issued the final judgment command to the "deity" that had completely taken control of the entire data universe!

"heavenly craft."

"Hmm?"

"Catch every 'fish' belonging to Western Alliance intelligence agencies operating within our Xia Country, not a single one left behind!"
