Chapter 1324
How dare they?
What shocked Zhou Xiaobei even more was Luo Fei's hand speed!
That's beyond fast! The ten fingers on the keyboard almost became blurry afterimages, the dense tapping sounds were continuous, and there was almost no gap between them!
Such terrifying speed and precision, let alone him, even if all the tentacle monsters and quick-draw hackers he knew in the hacker circle were tied together, they would be far behind!
"This...this is impossible..."
Zhou Xiaobei's mouth dropped open, his glasses slipped down to the tip of his nose and he forgot to adjust them. He was frozen in place, staring intently at Luo Fei's flailing hands and the mysterious characters that were refreshing like a waterfall on the screen.
Everyone else in the office fell silent, leaving only the chilling sound of keyboard clicks and the dazzling, incomprehensible flashing code on the screen.
Although they didn't understand the technology, they realized one thing from Zhou Xiaobei's shocked expression, as if he had seen a ghost—their leader, Luo Fei, was not joking!
He is truly hacking in a way that is beyond their comprehension!
Luo Fei was completely absorbed in the battle to break through the firewall. He pushed his [Super God-level Hacker] skills to the limit, processing massive amounts of data at high speed like the most sophisticated instrument.
He didn't notice Zhou Xiaobei's shocked expression behind him, as if he had seen a ghost, or the gaping mouths of the other members of the special case team.
Standing a little further away, Jiang Qinqin watched Luo Fei's focused profile and his hands that blurred across the keyboard, and her heart was also filled with turmoil.
She had previously believed that Luo Fei's appointment as director of the National Security Bureau was mostly due to his grandfather's connection with the Grand Secretary, as he claimed.
After all, he is too young.
But what she saw before her completely overturned her understanding.
This incredible computer technology is clearly not something you can acquire through connections!
This is a truly terrifying ability, beyond her comprehension!
"How many secrets does he... how many more does he have?"
Looking at Luo Fei's calm and focused profile, Jiang Qinqin felt a mixture of curiosity, admiration, and even a hint of indescribable goodwill quietly growing within her.
But the thought that he already had a wife, and that she was pregnant, suppressed the budding feelings of love with a bittersweet feeling, leaving only a soft sigh in his heart.
Just as Jiang Qinqin was experiencing a complex mix of emotions, Zhou Xiaobei suddenly gasped and exclaimed in surprise.
"Oh no! Brother Fei, they've spotted us!"
Their AI defense engine has activated the highest level of countermeasures and is trying to pinpoint our real IP address and attack path!
If this continues, we'll be kicked out very soon, and might even be tracked down!
On the screen, red warning signs were flashing wildly, and data streams representing defense and counterattacks were pouring in like a tide, rapidly blocking the breakthroughs that Luo Fei had previously opened.
Luo Fei's eyes turned cold, but a hint of arrogance appeared on his lips.
"Trying to kick me out? Not so easy! Since sneaking around won't work, we'll just storm in head-on!"
His fingers didn't pause for a moment; instead, they typed out a series of extremely complex commands at an even faster speed! The next second, an operation that made Zhou Xiaobei's eyes almost pop out of their sockets appeared!
Luo Fei bypassed all the conventional penetration steps, directly used his privileges, wrote an extremely special pop-up program, and instantly sent it to the computer screens of millions of people in Daxia who were connected to the Internet through some kind of technology that Zhou Xiaobei could not understand!
The pop-up message was concise yet impactful.
[Urgent Notice!]
【I am Luo Fei, a special police officer from the Great Xia National Security Bureau!】
[A cyberattack is currently underway against the geological monitoring system of Japan in order to obtain critical intelligence concerning national security!]
[The enemy's firewall is formidable; reinforcements are urgently needed!]
[Requesting 100,000 computers as cover for a coordinated attack!]
[Patriotic compatriots, please click the link below to contribute your computer's computing power and help us break through Japan's defenses!]
[Link. [A specially encrypted IP address]]
The appearance of this pop-up window instantly dropped a bombshell on the DaXia network!
Initially, countless netizens who were working, playing games, or watching TV series saw this suddenly pop-up window and their first reaction was vigilance and suspicion—"Where did this virus ad come from again?"
"Don't click on unfamiliar links!"
However, when their eyes swept over the name "Luo Fei", many people were stunned!
"Luo Fei? Is that Luo Fei who won the championship in the international special police competition?"
"National Security Bureau SWAT team? Really?"
"Attack the Japanese? Holy crap! That's exciting!"
"Whether it's true or not, I'll order it to make a living!"
Relying on Luo Fei's reputation and image in the public eye, as well as the complex emotions he harbored in his blood towards a certain island nation, after a brief hesitation, he responded like a volcanic eruption!
"Brother Xinfei! Ordered!"
"Count me in! Let's fuck those damn Japanese!"
"My computer has high specs, let's go!"
"Brothers, keep up! Cover for Fei!"
Tens of thousands, then hundreds of thousands of computers, clicked that link almost simultaneously!
Countless data streams, like rivers flowing into the sea, followed the path set by Luo Fei and launched a seemingly chaotic but actually cleverly guided "feint attack" and "cover" towards the firewall of the Sakura Country's geological monitoring system!
In an instant, the AI defense system of Japan was thrown into chaos by the sudden, massive attack data from different IP addresses!
Its analysis and interception capabilities have been greatly dispersed and constrained!
"This...this works too?!"
Zhou Xiaobei stared blankly at the densely packed, star-like dots of light on the screen representing the source of the attack.
Even when he led his top hacker team to charge into battle, they struggled to breach the fortified stronghold. Yet, Luo Fei devised this ingenious "people's war" tactic in less than twenty minutes, and successfully bypassed the main defense line silently by using tens of thousands of civilian computers as cover!
While the cybersecurity personnel at the Japanese monitoring agency were scrambling to deal with the harassment from tens of thousands of "zombie" computers, Luo Fei, like a ghost, seized a momentary lag and vulnerability in the AI system, and broke through directly into the core database!
Furthermore, they took the initiative and quickly set up a complex combination lock, temporarily depriving the Japanese side of their access to the system!
"It...it was a success?!"
Zhou Xiaobei's voice trembled as he looked at the message "System highest privileges have been obtained" displayed on the screen.
His gaze toward Luo Fei had completely transformed from doubt and shock into fervent worship and admiration!
That's absolutely incredible!
"Brother Fei! I'm convinced! Utterly convinced! I'm completely in awe!"
Zhou Xiaobei was so excited that he became incoherent.
The members of the special case team around them looked at Zhou Xiaobei, the usually arrogant technical genius, and saw him showing such a devout expression to Luo Fei. They exchanged glances, and their awe of Luo Fei deepened.
Luo Fei ignored Zhou Xiaobei's admiration and quickly found the latest monitoring report on Mount Fuji in the database he had accessed.
However, after clicking on it, the screen was filled with dense Japanese text.
"Does anyone here understand Japanese?"
Luo Fei looked up at the crowd.
Chen Fan, Wu Peixiong, Wang Feifei, and the others looked at each other and shook their heads.
Zhou Xiaobei awkwardly pushed up his glasses.
"Brother Fei, I... I only know some simple anime terms, I definitely can't read reports."
"Jiang Qinqin." Luo Fei immediately thought of her.
"Come here for a moment."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Qinqin stepped forward.
Luo Fei pointed at the screen.
"Look at this report, what does it say?"
Jiang Qinqin leaned closer to the screen and began to browse it carefully.
As she read on, her expression grew increasingly serious, and her brows furrowed tightly.
"How about it?"
Luo Fei asked.
Jiang Qinqin took a deep breath, pointed to the data in the report, and translated and explained each item, her voice trembling slightly.
"The report shows that in the past six months, the frequency of earthquakes around Mount Fuji has reached more than three times the average of previous years!"
"Emissions of sulfur dioxide and other special gases detected at the volcano have surged to twenty times that of the same period in previous years!"
"Data analysis from satellites and ground monitoring stations shows that the geological deformation of Mount Fuji has reached fifty times the normal level! Some areas of the mountain have even developed obvious cracks that are more than ten centimeters wide!"
"The most crucial point is here... The report points out that since June of this year, at least three extremely violent internal energy activities have occurred in the mantle layer tens of kilometers below Mount Fuji, with intensity far exceeding historical records!"
She raised her head, her face pale, and looked at Luo Fei.
"Based on all this monitoring data, the report concludes that... Mount Fuji is like a balloon that has been inflated to its limit, with internal pressure reaching a critical point, and it could burst at any moment! The Japanese government's internal assessment is that... the burst will occur within the next year or two!"
She paused, then spoke in a more somber tone.
"The report also predicted the consequences of the eruption... Once Mount Fuji fully erupts, it will trigger a series of chain reactions, producing multiple devastating earthquakes with a magnitude exceeding 8.5, and... as well as a massive tsunami capable of inundating coastal areas."
This could ultimately lead to…potentially submerging most of the Japanese archipelago…The Japanese government has officially characterized this potential disaster as…a “devastating national catastrophe.”
The office was deathly silent.
Everyone was stunned by the near-apocalyptic scene revealed in the monitoring report! Japan... this country, was facing the crisis of total annihilation within the year?!
Luo Fei's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and all the clues were completely connected at this moment!
He suddenly looked at Jiang Qinqin.
"Do you understand now? Your dream was real! The Japanese high command, through their scientific monitoring, knew about the impending catastrophe they were facing much earlier and with greater precision than you did!"
He grabbed Jiang Qinqin's wrist and led her away from the noisy technical area, back to the relatively quiet team leader's office.
After closing the door, Jiang Qinqin was still somewhat dazed, and she murmured to herself.
"But... even if they knew the disaster was coming, what good would it do if they killed my father, or even me? Could that stop the volcano from erupting?"
"We cannot stop volcanic eruptions."
Luo Fei's voice was cold and certain, with a sharpness that seemed to see through everything.
"But we can stop them, stop the Great Xia, and know in advance what they're going to do next!"
He stared into Jiang Qinqin's eyes, dissecting, word by word, the most insane thoughts that the island nation might have in its desperate situation.
“An island nation that knows it is about to sink, a country with the special cohesion of the ‘Emperor System’, will never sit idly by and wait for its doom!”
They will do everything in their power to find a way to survive!
"But look at this world, which country has the capacity and is willing to accept hundreds of millions of refugees? Which country is willing to give up enough land and resources to allow them to prolong their reign? None! Neither our Great Xia nor that powerful nation across the ocean would do so!"
"When they find themselves abandoned by the whole world, when despair consumes everything, what do you think they, given their national character, will do?"
Luo Fei's voice was as cold as ice.
"They'll resort to desperate measures!"
They will choose... the most extreme method!
As Jiang Qinqin followed his train of thought, a terrifying idea flashed through her mind like lightning, chilling her to the bone and making her voice tremble.
"They...they want to...invade...our Great Xia?"
"That's right!"
Luo Fei was resolute.
"For them, the Great Xia, which is the closest, has the most extensive land, and is the richest in resources, is their only and best target for invasion!"
They want to seize our land to continue their nation's existence!
He pointed in the direction of the computer.
"And now, the reason they are willing to do anything to kill you and your father is because the precognitive abilities of your Jiang family are the biggest variable in their crazy invasion plan!"
They are afraid that you will "see" their military movements and strategic deployments in advance!
Before the plan is launched, they must eliminate all eyes that might have seen through their conspiracy!
They're going to catch us off guard!
Jiang Qinqin finally understood!
It turns out that the root cause of all the calamities that befell his father and himself was this!
Japan was determined to kill those with precognitive abilities in order to cover up its monstrous invasion plans and prevent the Great Xia from anticipating them and making defensive preparations.
This is no longer a simple personal grudge, but has risen to the level of a shocking conspiracy concerning the survival of the nation!
"How dare they... how could they..."
Jiang Qinqin's voice trembled with disbelief, and her face was pale.
"They not only dared to do it, but they've already taken the first step!"
Luo Fei's voice was as cold as iron, carrying a sense of grimness that reflected his deep understanding of the situation.
"They openly sent superhumans to infiltrate our country and murdered our former superhuman members and business elites!"
This is a test, but more importantly, a show of force!
He stood up, walked to the window, and gazed at the still bustling Kyoto outside, his tone tinged with heaviness and reflection. (End of Chapter)
