Cutting-edge Technology: I Provide the Brains, the State Provides Everything

112: In the enemy’s final frenzy, the ace hacker ”Professor” makes his move!When Lu Chen’s final judgment, filled with god-like indifference and mockery, ”Still want to play nuclear strike?” echoed clearly through the red secure phone in The Pentagon’s underground command center, Burns and all the arrogant Military Big Shots of the Western Alliance present felt as if an invisible hand had clamped tightly around their throats!

Their faces were ashen, their bodies cold!

Looking at the nuclear missile silos on the screen, each representing the Western Alliance’s highest military secrets!

And those clear, blood-red launch codes!

Their minds were completely blank!

It’s over!

It’s all fucking over!

Their military hegemony that had ruled the world for a hundred years!

Their final foundation for maintaining global hegemony!

Today!

In front of this mysterious and terrifying Eastern Youth!

Was completely crushed to dust!

”No... impossible...”

The Five-Star General, who had been frantically clamoring for a ”nuclear strike” against Xia Nation earlier, slumped onto his chair, muttering to himself in despair.

”Our ’Hellfire’ system is completely physically isolated!”

”It’s not connected to the internet at all!”

”How... how did he do it?!”

His desperate roar also voiced the biggest question in the hearts of all the Western Alliance Big Shots present!

Yes!

What kind of devilish technology is this?!

Could it be...

Could that Eastern Devil really be so powerful that he can ignore all physical laws?!

They didn’t know.

Just as they were racking their brains, on the verge of collapse.

Thousands of miles away.

The youth whom they regarded as a ”devil”.

Was calmly watching the group of Western Alliance Big Shots on the light screen in front of him, who were completely scared out of their wits.

He smiled faintly.

Then, he slowly said to Long Weiguo, who looked at him with adoration:

”Director Long.”

”You say...”

”If we ’accidentally’ pressed the wrong button now...”

”And ’ignited’ their nuclear missile base deployed in Sakura Island Nation.”

”You say...”

”Would their ’well-off godson’...”

”Be the first to jump out and fight them to the death?”

”Cough cough!”

Long Weiguo almost choked on his own saliva after hearing that!

He looked at Lu Chen’s delicate face, adorned with a ”pure” smile, and felt a chill shoot from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head!

This kid...

His heart is too damn dark, isn’t it?!

To kill not just the body, but the spirit!

And after destroying their spirit, to make father and son turn against each other?!

This is simply a devil among...

Devils!

While Xia Nation had completely taken control of the situation and was starting to think about how to maximize their ”humiliation” of the enemy.

The Western Alliance, White House.

Had fallen into a deathly silence, like the end of the world, and...

Despair!

”Everyone, speak up.”

The supreme commander of the Western Alliance, an old man known for his ”iron fist,” slowly spoke.

His voice was hoarse and filled with endless fatigue.

”Now...”

”What should we do?”

The entire Oval Office was dead silent.

All the eloquent strategists and politicians, usually so talkative, now hung their heads like defeated roosters, not saying a word.

What to do?

What could they do?

Fight?

They couldn’t win!

The other side even knew your nuclear missile launch codes now!

What would you use to fight them?!

Surrender?

That’s even more impossible!

Once they really knelt down like those spineless Europeans.

Then their global hegemony, which had lasted for a hundred years!

Would completely become history!

”Sir!”

Just as everyone was at a loss and sinking into despair.

A voice filled with coldness and madness suddenly rang out!

It was Burns!

His eagle-like eyes were also bloodshot and weary.

But, more than that...

It was a madness born from facing death, a desperate gamble!

A gamble!

”We haven’t lost yet!”

He looked at all the Western Alliance Big Shots present, roaring word by word:

”We still have one last trump card!”

”One last trump card, enough to turn the tide and win!”

”Trump card!”

”Hmm?!”

Everyone’s gaze focused on him!

”Have you all forgotten?”

Burns’s mouth curved into a sinister, cruel arc!

”We still have a ’Professor’!”

”Professor”?!

As soon as this mysterious codename was uttered!

The ashen eyes of all the Big Shots in the Oval Office instantly rekindled with a glimmer of hope!

Flame!

”Professor”!

An existence more mysterious and terrifying than ”Shadow” or ”Ghost”!

An ultimate phantom who lives in the shadows of the cyber world, whose name even their highest-level Big Shots knew but whose face they had never seen!

Phantom!

He is the most powerful and arrogant...

Ace hacker in the entire Western world!

A madman who once, by himself, hacked the entire national power grid of Bear Nation, almost triggering World War III!

Madman!

A terrifying existence regarded as a ”god” by all cybersecurity experts worldwide!

Existence!

”That’s right! We still have ’Professor’!”

A Military Big Shot slapped his thigh fiercely and shouted excitedly:

”No matter how awesome Xia Nation’s AI, heavenly craft, is!”

”It’s just a program!”

”As long as it’s a program, there must be a loophole!”

”As long as we can get ’Professor’ to make a move!”

”We will definitely find that damned loophole!”

”Then...”

”Completely destroy it!”

”That’s right! As long as we destroy ’heavenly craft’!”

”That little bastard, Lu Chen, will be like losing an eye and breaking a leg!”

”Then we’ll find a way to kill him!”

”It will be as easy as flipping a hand!”

All of a sudden!

The oppressive and desperate atmosphere in the entire Oval Office was swept away!

Replaced by a morbid, crazy hope!

They were like a group of drowning gamblers clutching at a last...

Straw!

”Good!”

The supreme commander of the Western Alliance slammed the table, and the flame of ”hope” rekindled in his cloudy old eyes!

”Burns!”

”I don’t care what method you use!”

”Even if you empty the national treasury!”

”You must get that damned ’Professor’ for me!”

”Invite him out!”

”Yes, sir!”

Burns snapped to attention!

A cruel and confident smile appeared on his face!

He didn’t know.

Just as he uttered these words filled with ”hope”.

Thousands of miles away.

The ’Professor’ whom they regarded as their ”lifeline”.

Was calmly watching all the surveillance footage being broadcast live by heavenly craft on the light screen in front of him.

Listening to those roars filled with ”hope”.

There was not a ripple on his face.

In fact...

He even felt like laughing.

”Master.”

heavenly craft’s ethereal, virtual figure slowly appeared beside him.

She looked at Lu Chen’s calm face, and a hint of human-like worry flashed in her intelligent eyes.

”This ’Professor’...

Seems to be quite extraordinary.”

”According to my database...”

”He is currently the only human on this planet who can pose a slight threat to me in the field of network technology.”

”Human.”

”Is that so?”

Lu Chen smiled.

He extended his finger and lightly tapped the virtual light screen.

Bringing up all the information on the so-called ace hacker, ”Professor”.

Then, under heavenly craft’s puzzled gaze, he slowly uttered a sentence that almost caused her super brain, composed of infinite data, to crash on the spot.

”heavenly craft.”

”Hmm?”

”You say...”

”If I told them now...”

”That their proudest and final trump card, ’Professor’...”

”Is actually...”

”Me, myself.”

”You say...”

”Would the expression on their faces...”

”Be very entertaining?”
