NOVEL WEB Chapter 309: Lightning War, huh?_2
Furious!
"Quick, find out who is messing with us!"
The head of AW, Flar, was about to explode with anger.
The string of recent defeats, combined with the loss of Karl, a major player, had put him in a very foul mood.
You see,
These kinds of hacker websites, which provide services to others, take their organization's reputation very seriously.
In the hacker circle, AW is a powerhouse in North America and enjoys a prestigious reputation worldwide.
This perception, almost like a stamp of ideology, especially in North America, involves AW whenever hacking is mentioned. This awareness has brought them significant benefits.
A continuous stream of companies, institutions, and organizations seek collaboration and assistance—this model forms their primary source of income.
However, these successive failures have already shaken their status as a strong force.
And now,
Someone has openly declared war on them, intending to launch an annihilation campaign!
This was an utter humiliation!
At this moment, many hackers from AW immediately began searching and keeping a special watch on Angelina's live stream.
This was almost the only source they knew of.
[AW solemnly declares: We do not fear any challengers!]
A banner flashed in the middle of Angelina's live broadcast screen, obscuring the 'Kaspersky' network attack real-time monitoring map—quite conspicuous.
This fully represented AW's attitude.
Angelina laughed, "It looks like AW knows about it now. My friend said, 'This can't be considered a sneak attack, nor bullying, right?'"
At that moment, Lin Chuan was by her side.
Angelina muted her microphone, turned to look at Lin Chuan, "Idol, that's what you said, right?"
Lin Chuan nodded and gave her a thumbs-up, "You're doing it right!"
If AW were to be caught off guard, their image as deities could not be completely destroyed.
Only by declaring war,
Letting them know in advance and having a direct confrontation to completely crush them would AW be finished!
"Should we reveal our location?"
Angelina blinked her eye; her pupils were dazzling and bright with light.
"Sure."
Lin Chuan had no objections. These hackers were not fools; even if Angelina didn't say it, they would quickly recognize it as Lin Chuan's work by examining the attack methods.
Because Lin Chuan's network attack methods were too distinctive.
Lone Wolf!
Lin Chuan in the hacker network was like a lone wolf, going deep into enemy territory alone, delivering fatal blows to the enemy.
"Okay, let's start the war!"
Angelina rubbed her palms together and then unmuted her mic.
She said into the live stream, "The latest news captured, the mysterious force wanting to annihilate AW head-on, is located in..."
[Where?]
[That's pretty much revealing the information of the mysterious force!]
[So cool! Let's see who it is!]
[Can't wait! It isn't them, is it?]
Angelina teased her audience a little, not revealing everything in one go. Instead, she controlled her mouse, spinning the 'Kaspersky' network attack real-time monitoring map rapidly, then with a click and a swift scroll of the wheel, she pinpointed Han River at lightning speed!
"Han River!"
On the map, a few sparse points of light flickered in the Han River area.
Compared to the dense clusters of lights in North America, the Han River area seemed quite sparse and silent, with only occasional light from the outside world entering, rarely any light being emitted from Han River.
It was evident that Han River was subjected to numerous attacks but launched few of its own.
However,
The name Han River, for those in the hacker circle who paid even a bit of attention to recent events, was impossible to overlook.
And no one would underestimate it just because of the few sparse points of light.
Because, upon hearing Han River, all hackers would think of one person.
—The God of Hackers!
He was the one who had turned the tide, saving the Han River Network from difficulty and striking back at AW in an instant.
The hackers in Angelina's live stream were seasoned viewers, and they were well aware of this.
[The God of Hackers!]
[Damn, did the God of Hackers make a move?]
[No wonder Lena got the news first; it turns out your idol is in action!]
```
[Now this is going to be a good show!]
[I'm wondering, AW might be dumbfounded by now, right?] Read the latest on empire
[The 'God of Hackers' is definitely AW's nightmare!]
[...]
The barrage in the live streaming room was boiling!
The term 'God of Hackers' was everywhere, dense and almost flooding the screen.
At first,
Many people thought it was an unnamed organization wanting to use AW as a stepping stone to quickly make a name for themselves. Unexpectedly, the mysterious force turned out to be from Han River; it had to be the God of Hackers.
The direction of public opinion changed in an instant.
Many believed that AW was in danger!
The staff watching Angelina's live streaming room were dumbfounded.
For a moment,
'God of Hackers from Han River' abruptly climbed to the hot search headlines of major news outlets.
"Sister Li!"
Inside the temporary liaison office of the International Police at Anling Police Station, Qin Yun called out.
"What's up? Has Old Zhao sent a document?" Li Tong, sitting at her desk, slightly lifted her head.
Qin Yun's face was a bit excited.
He took two steps to Li Tong's desk and said excitedly, "No, it's a big event! The 'God of Hackers' is going after AW!"
"The God of Hackers?"
Li Tong was clearly hearing this term for the first time and frowned slightly.
"The God of Hackers, that's Lin Chuan!" Qin Yun clenched his right fist in his left palm, making a 'snap' sound, "On the Dark Live hacker streaming platform, Lena has already revealed it. Right now, Lin Chuan is going to war with AW!"
As soon as Li Tong heard it was Lin Chuan, she immediately became interested.
Even though she didn't know what going to war with AW meant, she still had Qin Yun turn on the computer, log onto the so-called Dark Live streaming platform, and open Angelina's streaming room.
As Qin Yun operated, he explained the key points to Li Tong.
"Are you saying that Lin Chuan is trying to annihilate a large hacker organization from North America?" Li Tong was in a daze.
The news hit her like a bolt from the blue.
Her heart was shocked and took a long time to settle.
Qin Yun nodded affirmatively to her thoughts: "Yes, it seems to be the case right now."
"I remember his profile says he only has a company named 720 Network Security Ltd. Can he really overcome AW?" Li Tong expressed her concerns.
"You don't need to worry about that. I heard that AW has already had two direct confrontations with Lin Chuan, and Lin Chuan has an undefeated record, while AW was completely overwhelmed. Now, we are going to see if Lin Chuan can completely annihilate AW, and if so, how long it will take."
Qin Yun had watched some live streams on Dark Live and often visited the 'International Forum – Underworld'. In this Mr. Lin specific section, he had learned quite a bit.
In Angelina's streaming room, people were also guessing whether he could complete the annihilation.
[After all, AW is an old powerhouse with a huge business and countless hackers; it's hard to estimate their number. I'm betting on AW this round.]
[To complete the annihilation might be a bit difficult for the 'God of Hackers'!]
[Guaranteed win, right? 'God of Hackers' is awesome!]
[I bet he only needs two hours to take them down!]
[Two hours? That's just bragging!]
[Not to mention whether he can annihilate them, two hours to destroy a large hacker organization probably means they haven't even gotten through the firewall, and can only rub around the outside, right?]
[You'd better hope it's just a firewall!]
[...]
"How long do you think it will take?" In the office, Li Tong looked up at Qin Yun.
Qin Yun pondered for a moment: "I'll be conservative, three hours."
"You're that optimistic about Lin Chuan?"
Li Tong asked with a smile.
"Of course, I might not understand Lin Chuan's strength in other areas, but I've experienced his hacking skills in the streaming room!" Qin Yun said with a laugh.
Suddenly!
Qin Yun raised his hand, pointed excitedly, and shouted, "Sister Li, quick, look, Lin Chuan is making his move!"
His fingertip pointed at the screen, where a light beam projected from a point in the Han River area, tracked by the live stream's camera across the sky above the Pacific Ocean, wrapping around a virtual model of Earth, striking directly at North America.
In just an instant.
This light beam, like an intercontinental missile falling, exploded with astonishing power.
The point of light descended, and the majority of points in the North America region were extinguished in a blink!
"This..."
Qin Yun swallowed his saliva and stood frozen.
After a long time, he finally uttered, "Mother, that's a Lightning War!"
