You went on a blind date and presented an A-level wanted criminal as a meeting gift?

With the gas crisis resolved, the heaviest weight on Lin Chen's heart was finally lifted.

Qingge and Qingcheng on the island are safe.

So next, it's time for the settlement!

He no longer had any reservations or concerns, and strode over to the control terminal in the corner of the pump room. He pulled over a chair and sat down.

This is a terminal used to monitor and regulate the entire base's water circulation system. Although its permissions are not high, it is connected to the base's internal area network.

For Lin Chen, one network cable is enough!

"Let me see just how hard your turtle shell really is."

A cold smile curved Lin Chen's lips as his long, slender fingers moved across the greasy keyboard, creating a dazzling display of afterimages!

[God-level Hacking Skills], now activated!

"Crackling and popping—"

A series of rapid, torrential keystrokes echoed through the roaring pump room, strangely drowning out all the mechanical noise!

Countless lines of profound and complex code, incomprehensible to the average person, flashed and scrolled across the screen like a waterfall!

Lin Chen's gaze was focused and indifferent.

His brain had now transformed into a humanoid supercomputer that was ahead of its time!

The entire internal network architecture of "Azure Mine", the logical vulnerabilities of the firewall, the command sequence of the defense system... everything became transparent and fragile in his eyes, full of exploitable flaws!

He didn't try to crack any highest-level password; that would be the least efficient method.

What he's going to do is to strike at the root of the problem! To deliver a devastating blow!

What he is writing is an extremely domineering and insidious "logic bomb" virus!

The core logic of this virus is exceptionally simple and brutal: it replicates itself and disguises itself as the highest-priority system instruction, frantically seizing the central processing unit resources of the entire base. Simultaneously, it tampers with the IFF (Identification Friend or Foe) protocols of all defense facilities and access control systems, changing the definition of "friendly forces" to an empty set!

In other words, once the virus is activated, the entire base's automated defense system will treat everything except itself as an "enemy" that needs to be eliminated!

"Siren, don't you like playing with fire?"

A mocking sneer flashed in Lin Chen's eyes.

"Then I'll let your precious base destroy itself!"

In less than three minutes, a perfect piece of virus code, a work of art, took shape under his fingertips.

"Go."

Lin Chen lightly pressed the Enter key with his fingertip.

"Turn this place upside down in terms of defenses."

……

Meanwhile, at the base, in the central control room.

"Sir! Team A has arrived at the energy room! Team B..."

An adjutant was nervously reporting the progress of the "Deep Sea Funeral Song" project to the Siren, but before he could finish speaking, the entire central control room suddenly shook violently without warning!

"Buzz—!!!"

A piercing alarm, like the scraping of metal, resounded shrilly throughout the entire underwater base!

On the dome, all the holographic canopies simulating blue skies and white clouds instantly turned into a blinding blood red, representing the highest level of alert!

"What's going on?!"

The siren's expression changed, and she suddenly stood up from her seat.

On the huge main control screen in front of him, the green data stream that was originally showing the normal operation of various areas of the base was now flooded with a frantically scrolling red error code!

[WARNING! CPU usage is 99.99%! System overload!]

[WARNING! Identification Friend or Foe (IFF) protocol has been tampered with by unknown commands!]

[WARNING! Security system logic malfunction! Entering indiscriminate attack mode!]

"boom!"

"Boom! Boom!"

Before the technicians in the control room could react, a series of violent explosions began to emanate from all parts of the base!

On the main control screen, the hundreds of small windows that originally represented various surveillance cameras suddenly burst into a blinding burst of sparks at the same time, and then all of them turned completely black!

All the surveillance cameras in the base exploded the moment the virus invaded because they couldn't process the tampered data stream, causing their internal circuits to overload!

And this is just the beginning!

"Da da da da da da—!"

"ah--!!"

"It's an automatic machine gun! It's gone mad! It's attacking our own people!"

The communication channel was instantly filled with terrified and desperate screams!

Inside the base's passageways, the automatic defensive machine guns that were originally hidden in the ceiling and walls to defend against intruders now protruded their dark muzzles, turned around, and unleashed a frenzied and merciless barrage on all the Darkmoon Guards who were carrying out orders!

A storm of metal raged through the narrow passage, blood and flesh flying everywhere, and screams echoing all around.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

A series of incredibly heavy thuds resounded.

The heavy alloy gates inside the base, used for regional isolation, seemed to have gone mad, falling, rising, and falling again erratically and frantically!

Countless guards and researchers were caught off guard by this sudden turn of events. Some were crushed to death in the door cracks, while others were trapped in a certain area forever, completely losing contact with the outside world.

The entire "Azure Mine," this deep-sea fortress built with countless efforts and resources by the Dark Moon Organization, was completely paralyzed, chaotic, and filled with infighting in less than a minute because of Lin Chen's tiny virus program!

In the central control room, the siren stared at the red screen that represented destruction and listened to the desperate screams coming from the communication channel. His face, which was twisted with rage, had turned as pale as a corpse.

He is not a fool.

He understood instantly!

Someone has infiltrated the base!

Moreover, the other party was not only a terrifyingly skilled monster, but also a top hacker who could paralyze his entire base with a flick of his finger!

"Number 33..."

The siren squeezed out this code name that he felt endlessly humiliated from between his teeth.

He finally understood where that sense of unease had come from!

That guy was faking it from the very beginning!

He fooled himself!

Right under his nose, he used his god-like acting skills to completely outwit his naturally suspicious commander!

"puff--!"

An uncontrollable rage surged to the top of his head. The siren felt a sweet taste in his throat and spat out a mouthful of blood onto the control panel in front of him, splattering it all over the screen.

"Who...is it?!"

His eyes were bloodshot, and he looked like a madman. He grabbed the collar of a technician next to him who was already terrified and roared hysterically.

"Find him! By any means necessary! Find him for me!!"

"I want to tear him to pieces!!!"
