46: Chapter 46 The antivirus software is now online. Wow, America, your internet connection is pretty strong!

"Mr. Lin! Eagle Sauce... they have launched a full-scale attack! We are about to lose our grip!"

On the phone, Zhao Zhenhua's voice was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, filled with despair and rage.

Dragon Country, National Cybersecurity Center.

The atmosphere was frozen to the freezing point.

Over a hundred of Dragon Country's top white-hat hackers were sitting in front of their computers, their fingers tapping on keyboards so fast they created afterimages, with bean-sized beads of sweat hanging on every forehead.

"Report! Server One's firewall has been breached!"

"Report! Server Two's CPU usage is at 100%, it has crashed!"

"It's no use! The enemy's traffic attack is too fierce! It's hundreds of times the normal traffic! All our backup lines have been clogged!"

"The source of their attack is from all over the world; it's impossible to track! This... this is premeditated, a cyber war directed at us!"

The center director, a white-haired academician, stared fixedly at the red alert code scrolling like a waterfall on the big screen, his hands trembling violently from the force.

Their proud, supposedly impregnable "Skynet" defense system was retreating steadily and falling apart under the enemy's storm-like attack!

If this trend continues, let alone restoring the livestream, within ten minutes, their entire national network will be completely paralyzed!

"Too bullying! This is too bullying!"

Zhao Zhenhua stood in the center of the command room, watching this humiliating scene, trembling with rage, his eyes bloodshot.

They could never have imagined that Eagle Sauce would be this shameless!

If they can't win, they start pulling the network cables?!

And they did it in front of the whole world, in the most barbaric and brutal way!

"Mr. Lin..." There was a hint of pleading in Zhao Zhenhua's voice, "What... what should we do now?"

"Oh."

On the other end of the phone, Lin Mo's voice remained in that calm, lazy tone.

"What's the big deal? Is it worth making such a fuss?"

Zhao Zhenhua was stunned upon hearing this.

What... what's the big deal?! Mr. Lin! This isn't just pulling the network cable anymore; this is about tearing our home down!

"I thought it was something serious."

Lin Mo yawned, slowly stood up from his rocking chair, walked to the corner of the backyard, and kicked a round, automatic sweeping robot.

"Xiao Ling, wake up, stop sweeping."

"There are a few blind fools shitting on your head, go out and stretch your muscles."

"Hum~"

That sweeping robot... no, to be precise, it was the [Ghost] assault vehicle AI disguised as a sweeping robot, its top indicator light flickered and switched to an eerie red.

A super arrogant older-sister-style voice resounded throughout the entire Hardware Store.

[Received, Boss.]

[Is it that bunch of elementary schoolers from Eagle Sauce who only know how to play DDOS again? How boring.]

[Accessing Dragon Country's national network backbone... Permission authentication passed... Taking over the 'Skynet' system...]

[Counterattack protocol [Internet Troll Online] has been activated!]

[Please select a counterattack mode: A. Physical Transcendence; B. Mental Pollution; C. Social Death Package.]

Lin Mo picked up his cola and took a sip.

"Choose C, let them die knowing why."

[Got it~ I guarantee the customer will experience a one-stop crematorium service that feels just like home!]

The Pentagon, Cyber Warfare Command.

"General! We succeeded!"

"We have successfully paralyzed 80% of Dragon Country's network nodes! Their livestream has been completely interrupted!"

A technical director reported excitedly to the commander-in-chief, General "Cyber Ghost," his face filled with the joy of victory.

"Well done!"

General "Cyber Ghost" laughed triumphantly, picked up his coffee, and prepared to celebrate this great victory achieved without losing a single soldier.

"Order all units, don't stop! Continue to increase the attack intensity! I want their network to regress back to the Stone Age!"

However, before he finished speaking, in the command hall, all the screens displaying normal code, at the same time, with a "pop" sound, all turned into... a shocking blood red!

Immediately after, a huge "funny" emoji composed of pixel blocks, giving the middle finger, occupied the center of all the screens!

Below the emoji, there was an additional line of Chinese text displayed in the largest font, arrogant to the extreme.

[With just this much skill, you dare to touch the head of the Tai Sui? Is your home's network cable made of fiber optics? So brave?]

"What the F*ck?!"

General "Cyber Ghost" spat out a mouthful of coffee!

The entire command hall instantly turned into a chaotic mess!

"Alarm! Alarm! We have been counter-hacked!"

"God! The opponent bypassed all our firewalls! They got direct root access!"

"My computer... my computer isn't listening to me! It... it's automatically playing the 'Dragon Country National Anthem'!"

"My God! Look at the big screen!"

Everyone looked up in horror.

They saw that on the giant screen in the center of the command hall, the image changed again.

It started to loop like a PPT, playing everyone in the command center's... personal information!

From General "Cyber Ghost's" records of secretly browsing adult websites, to the technical director's ambiguous chat records with his wife's best friend, to the massive gambling debts owed by some operator... all the most private, shameful dirt, accompanied by high-definition, uncensored photos, were made public!

Social death!

This, damn it, is naked social death!

"Ahhh! Turn it off! Turn it off for me!"

General "Cyber Ghost" let out a pig-like scream; he felt that his life was over.

However, this was not the end!

[Xiao Ling], with that malicious, older-sister-style voice, resounded through every corner of the command center via the broadcast system.

[Everyone, little friends from Eagle Sauce, playtime is over.]

[As a punishment for pulling my home's network cable, I have decided to give you a small gift.]

[Don't thank me, please call me Red Scarf.]

As soon as the voice fell.

Globally, all countries and regions paying attention to this matter received an "official email" from The Pentagon.

In the email, there was an attached compressed file several hundred GB in size.

The file name was simple and brutal—[Eagle Sauce Global Network Surveillance Program "Prism Gate" Complete Database (Uncensored Version)].

At this moment, the whole world went quiet.

And in Dragon Country, the [Cast My Great Wall] livestream room, which had been black for less than a minute, lit up again.

The livestream image was restored to clarity, even a hundred times smoother than before.

It was as if the thrilling cyber war just now had never happened.

Only in the bottom right corner of the livestream room, a small prompt was added.

[This livestream is exclusively sponsored by "Universal Hardware Store Special Edition Antivirus Software," dedicated to providing you with the cleanest and smoothest patriotic education experience.]

At the same time, the [Power of Belief] energy bar, which had once stagnated, after the livestream was restored, began to soar crazily at a retaliatory speed, ten times faster than before!

40%!

60%!

80%!

The moment that golden energy was about to touch the 100% peak!

The bronze fragment hovering above [Great Nation Craftsman] suddenly erupted with a burst of light, brighter and more dazzling than the sun!

Looking at this sacred scene, Zhao Zhenhua shouted excitedly to the other end of the phone:

"Mr. Lin! It's full! The energy is full!"

"Is... is it about to start?!"
