Chapter 143: Ten minutes left to win? Quite the opposite!
Deputy Director Wang stood frozen in place. He slowly turned his head, frame by frame, looking at Qi Gaowei and Su Yueling, who were equally dumbfounded, with a look of utter disbelief.

Qi Gaowei and Su Yueling were completely dumbfounded when they heard the roar coming from the phone.

The last vestiges of color drained from their faces instantly, replaced by endless terror and... a sense of "I knew it" despair.

“Wang…Wang Shu…” Su Yueling’s voice trembled as she pointed at the building, her lips quivering, “I…I told you…we couldn’t stop it…”

Qi Gaowei looked utterly dejected, covering his face in anguish, feeling he had never been so humiliated in his life.

Ignoring them, Deputy Director Wang sprinted towards the command building!

"Quick! Follow me!"

Qi Gaowei and Su Yueling quickly followed, and the three of them rushed into the building. The scene before them was unforgettable.

The first sensor door, which requires Level A access, was unharmed.

However, the second bulletproof glass door, which requires both fingerprint and password verification, had its entire electronic lock panel pried off by someone... or rather, by a dog, and neatly laid out on the ground, leaving the door wide open.

The third alloy explosion-proof door leading to the elevator shaft had its hydraulic rods and motors dismantled and scattered, with screws and parts laid out on the ground in a way that... actually had a bit of an artistic feel to it.

Deputy Director Wang felt his heart clench; this was security at the level of a bank vault!

The three rushed into the elevator and went straight down to the third basement level.

As soon as the elevator doors opened, the last and most robust special alloy combination lock door, thirty centimeters thick, lay quietly on the ground before the command center.

Its core lock, a complex system costing seven figures that integrates iris scanning, voiceprint recognition, and dynamic passwords, has now been dismantled into pieces!

Every delicate part lay intact on the side, as if it had not been forcibly broken, but rather carefully maintained and disassembled by a top engineer.

When Deputy Director Wang saw this surreal scene, his legs went weak and he almost knelt on the ground.

He finally rushed into the command center and immediately spotted the husky standing behind the chief technical officer, Liu Yang, intently watching the screen.

But he didn't have time to think about how the dog had broken the door, nor did he have time to investigate any responsibility.

Because, in the short span of a few dozen seconds that Chu Sheng barged in, the situation in the command hall had taken a sharp turn for the worse!

"Warning! Warning! The 'Abyss' organization has breached our third honeypot trap! They are frantically scanning our internal network topology!"

"It's no use! The backup server array in Zone G is overheating! It's already down by 30%! Our computing power is dropping rapidly!"

"Director Wang! The enemy has deployed at least five AI attack clusters! Our firewall rules can't keep up with their mutation rate! Our defenses are about to be torn apart!"

Liu Yang's roar instantly pulled Deputy Director Wang back to the brutal battlefield.

He whirled around, his bloodshot eyes fixed on the green defense line on the main screen, now as fragile as a candle flickering in the wind, and roared into the communicator:

"All units! Abandon the outer perimeter! Shrink the defensive lines and protect the core database at all costs! Repeat! Protect the core at all costs!"

"'Trail Blazers'! How much longer do you have?!"

A series of heavy breathing sounds and the crackling of electricity came through the communicator, mixed with the shouts of the repair crew.

"Reporting to Director Wang! At most... at most another half hour! The main fiber optic cable will be restored! Give us another half hour!"

half an hour!
These three words were like a faint but real ray of light, shining into this abyss of despair.

"Did you hear that?! Half an hour!" Deputy Director Wang roared again, using all his strength to boost morale. "The last half hour! Hold on! If we can hold on, victory is ours!"

"Yes!"

All the technicians were like drowning people grasping at a last straw, their eyes rekindling their will to survive!

The entire command center was once again engulfed in the frantic sound of keyboard typing.

No one bothered to look at the husky that had wandered in, and no one had the energy to deal with it.

In their view, the war was about to end.

Deputy Director Wang also breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness, it will be over soon.

He leaned wearily against the command platform, only then remembering that he still had a few "big troubles" around him.

He turned his head to look at the husky and found that it wasn't causing trouble as he had feared.

Instead, it stood quietly behind Liu Yang, tilting its head and staring intently at the screen in front of Liu Yang, which was constantly flashing with countless lines of code and data.

Its focused expression made it seem as if it could truly understand.

Deputy Director Wang was puzzled, but he didn't have time to think about it too much. He just hoped that this troublesome thing wouldn't cause any more trouble and would stay quietly for half an hour until they won the battle, and then they could respectfully invite it out.

Meanwhile, Qi Gaowei and Su Yueling were so embarrassed they were practically digging a three-bedroom apartment out of the ground with their toes.

They now realize how naive and foolish their previous ideas were.

This is the real battlefield, a life-or-death struggle between nations in the information field, and its danger is no less than that of a real war.

But they forced their way in with a dog.

This is even more outrageous than having a picnic on the front lines of a battle!
"Don't demolish it..."

Su Yueling tiptoed closer to Chu Sheng. She didn't even dare to speak loudly, only whispering in his ear, almost pleading, "Let's... let's not watch, okay? They'll be done soon, please don't cause any trouble..."

She now had only one thought: to get this unruly dog ​​away from this troublesome place as soon as possible.

However, Chu Sheng remained motionless, like a statue, his blue eyes still fixed on the screen.

He was certainly not just watching the show.

In his "Eye of Construction" perspective, the seemingly incredibly complex network attack and defense battle before him was actually terrifyingly clear.

He could "see" that his own defense system was like a dilapidated dam riddled with countless cracks and holes.

Meanwhile, Liu Yang and his team were desperately using sandbags to plug the most conspicuous breaches.

But they had no idea that beneath the water, at the very foundation of the dam, the enemy had already dug a more concealed and deadly tunnel.

At this moment, the raging floodwaters are silently eroding the entire structure of the dam through that secret passage.

All of Liu Yang's efforts were merely delaying the inevitable collapse of the dam.
