Los Angeles.
Ivey focused on the computer screen, his eyes excited. He was playing battle royale. This way of raising gu and the battle like a colosseum made him addicted to it.
Every time I win a game, I feel a great sense of accomplishment.
Ivey, who was hiding in the house, looked at the scope lens on the screen with excited eyes, constantly searching for the target. Seeing the figure in the distance, Ivey smiled.
As soon as I clicked the mouse, the screen went black.
"Woderfalk?"
Ivey burst into anger, and just when he thought the internet was disconnected, a half-black and white clown appeared on the computer screen.
Cambridge, UK.
Ellie stared at the screen blankly, with an evil smile that looked more like a mockery. One second I was watching a TV series, and the next second this mask appeared. This mask is all too familiar, the clown that has been making a lot of noise recently.
The threat of the clown is not a joke, the indiscriminate attack claimed by the clown organization is coming.
The official residence of the Prime Minister of the island nation.
There were more than a dozen officials sitting around the conference hall, all leaders of major positions in the island country's government.
Everyone's face was solemn.
News came from across the ocean, from five cities in the United States, including Washington, and five cities in the United Kingdom. The Joker organization attacked two countries and ten cities at once, shocking the world.
Indiscriminate attacks made the entire city undefendable, and now the United States and the United Kingdom have suffered heavy losses. Tokyo has fallen and they refuse to pay ransom.
The next target of an indiscriminate attack is likely to be them. So they summoned officials overnight to discuss urgent countermeasures.
"Tell me, what should I do?"
Sitting at the head, a short, fat, small-eyed man with a slavish look spoke. He was Anbei, the current prime minister of the island country.
"I think a ransom should be paid. The earthquake has just passed and the domestic economy has suffered heavy losses. Our economy is not good to begin with and is in recession this year. If the most important cities are attacked again, I am afraid our market will really collapse. " said the man sitting on the left side of An Bei.
"If we compromise, we will be attacked by other parties." The middle-aged man on Anbei's right said.
As soon as he finished speaking, the conference hall fell silent.
“We can use a termite system using army ants,” said an official.
"No, no one can guarantee whether there are any backdoors in Chinese products. Computer office systems are related to national security, and Chinese systems cannot be used."
At first, someone made a fierce rebuttal, but the scene became quiet again.
"If the market collapses, we will also be attacked by other parties, which will probably be more troublesome. Secretly contact the clown organization to compromise. As long as it doesn't spread, we still have hope to hide it."
This sentence made several people on the field nod.
Just after the major earthquake, the island nation's economy is now as fragile as cracked glass and may collapse at any time. If you are attacked by a large-scale clown virus at this time, you will really be unable to recover.
"Let someone contact the clown." An Bei's eyes flickered for a long time and he said.
"Foreign media news: The United States has added the Joker Organization to the list of terrorist organizations. 》
"The United States is discussing adding army ants to its sanctions list. 》
"Do Army Ants Really Support the Clown Organization?" 》
At dawn the next day, all kinds of news in China were overwhelming.
Ten cities fell overnight, shocking everyone. This speed of attack uses pressure to force the two countries to compromise.
Countries that have not been attacked for the time being are also becoming nervous.
A new type of cyber terrorism has arrived. This is not a fatal blow, but it is a huge financial blow.
Chen Mo stood by the window, overlooking the dense crowd of media outside the company, with an expressionless face.
The Army Ants are in huge trouble, because this attack has allowed these media to link the Army Ant Company and the Clown Organization. If we don't give answers, these people will die here.
"Zhao Min, hold an impromptu press conference." Chen Mo picked up the phone and informed Zhao Min.
More than two hundred reporters stood quietly in the open space in front of Army Ant Company. Around them, in addition to the security guards of the Army Ant Company, there were more than 20 police officers maintaining order.
Because he was afraid of conflicts, Zhao Min notified the Municipal Public Security Bureau and sent people over to maintain order. No one can guarantee the situation of the Army Ant Company, and irrational people may appear.
Seeing Chen Mo coming out of the office building, there was a commotion on the ground, and the sounds of various camera shutters were continuous, all facing Chen Mo.
Chen Mo stood still on the small podium and everyone was quiet.
"Recently, there have been some misunderstandings about Army Ant Company. Our company has issued statements many times, and I will reiterate it for the last time. Army Ant Company has never provided any form of support to the Clown Organization. As for why the Clown Organization said that I don't understand either.
Originally, I did not want to personally respond to these baseless remarks. The wanton reports by some media have had a bad impact on our company's image. I am here to warn some nonsense media outlets. I can forget about the previous reports.
Tolerance does not have a bottom line. From this moment on, if there are any articles or comments that link the Clown Organization with the Marching Ant Company, publish untrue remarks, and damage the image of our company, please wait to receive a lawyer's letter. The legal department of Army Ant Company is not for decoration. "
Chen Mo's serious voice caused a dead silence among the reporters.
They heard that the Army Ant Company was already angry because of this incident. Chen Mo personally came forward to say these things, I'm afraid they are true.
"If you have any questions now, just ask them." Chen Mo gave a serious warning and glanced at him: "The first question is for the handsome guy in the white shirt and glasses in front of me."
The reporter took the microphone and immediately attracted the attention of all reporters.
"Mr. Chen Mo, there is no intersection between the Marching Ant Company and the Clown Organization. Why do they say thank you for your technical support?"
After asking this question, the male reporter suddenly became nervous. Just now, Chen Mo said that he did not want to associate army ants with clowns, and now he asked this kind of question again.
"The computer language they use to write viruses is Chinese character programming language. This is the language I created and it is open to the outside world for free. If this counts as supporting the clown organization, I have nothing to say. The technology is not guilty, the company sells iron ore, and someone else buys it Iron makes guns and kills people, so is it the company that sells iron ore that is to blame?”
"We don't know the inside story. The clown organization itself said that the Army Ant Company supports it. The existing logic also points to the Army Ant. How should we explain this?" asked the second female reporter who got the question.
"I don't understand what logic you are talking about? Or is it just your wishful thinking. Do you believe it when the clown organization says it? Why don't you believe it when we say it
Some media would rather believe in a hacker group that kidnaps an entire city's network and blackmails a country than a company that does research to benefit society. Is this your so-called logic? "
Chen Mo's fierce words plunged the reporters into a dead silence.
The Army Ant employees who saw this scene cheered inwardly. During this time, they were annoyed to death by the news. I feel suffocated when I hear the comments made by those companies recently. Chen Mo's harsh retort made them breathe a sigh of relief.
"Mr. Chen Mo, it is rumored that Army Ant Company has software to detect and kill the clown virus, but it has not been released. Is this news true?"
"What we have released, the termite system's intelligent firewall, is software that resists clown viruses. As for the separate anti-virus software you mentioned, it is still under research.
The Termite System is the most complete computer operating system. It is developed based on the Army Ant System. It has an intelligent firewall and is more secure than any current system.
Chinese character programming language is a new computer language. This language has not been around for long, but the software written in it has better performance than other languages, including virus software. This is a genetic problem. This is also the reason why the clown virus is not detected by existing anti-virus software. Natural selection, survival of the fittest. Chinese character programming language is a choice for survival. "
After answering a few questions from reporters, Chen Mo left and walked back to the office.
Xiaoyu walked into the office and without saying anything else, poured a glass of water and handed it to Chen Mo. She had been with Chen Mo for so long, and this was the first time she saw Chen Mo look like that.
"Do you think I'm angry?" Chen Mo took Xiaoyu's water glass and smiled.
He is not willing to put a price on these things. The price is too low. He just has to stand up and warn some people, otherwise the company will be distracted by these rumors.
"But you were so scary just now." Xiaoyu said.
"If I smile at those people, they will think that we are easy to bully. People are easy to bully. This is what you taught me. Do you learn quickly? Kiss me quickly."
"That's a good idea. Sister Zhao has stipulated that no one is allowed to mess around in the company. If you want to kiss, just wait until you get home from get off work." Xiao Yu pushed Chen Mo's head away.
After Xiaoyu left, Chen Mo turned around and walked towards the window. After responding just now, there was no sign of the reporter outside the company.
"Brother Mo, the clown has released a message." Mo Nu's voice suddenly sounded.
