Chapter 334 Who Launched The Missile?
"What do you mean by strange? Do you think that it is going to be a good thing if the companies in our country are taken down? This is something that is going to affect our economy!" Another man retorted in anger.
Immediately after the man said that, he turned his attention to the screen. On the screen, there were two forces that were colliding with each other. One was red which represented the hostile forces, while the other one was blue which represented the defending forces.
From the screen, he could see that several numerous dots were attacking the firewall that protected The Rose Entertainment company. But unlike the other companies, it had held on for a very long period of time.
Just as he was about to say another word, something else happened. A new program was suddenly introduced on the firewall of The Rose Entertainment Company.
The moment that this program was introduced, the firewall that was on the verge of collapsing suddenly made an unpredictable change.
And the moment that this change occurred, all the attacks that were about to neutralize the firewall were rendered useless. This made the eyes of the four officials to widen in surprise.
They had never seen something like this. And, just from the way that they had seen that the program that was attacking the other companies was, they were sure that it was going to take a very long time for all the geniuses present to be able to defend against it.
But, just from what they had seen, they knew that this was a program that had been created by a single person. That was unless it had been researched by several people before it was programmed by a single person.
They looked towards the area where the geniuses were gathered, but they saw that everyone of them was busy trying to block the attacks that were launched on previously.
"Do you happen to know who is the one that created that program?" One of the men asked.
"You are asking me, then whom I am I supposed to ask?" The man in charge of the cyber force replied. Even he himself was shaken by the program that had appeared.
The fierce and aggressive program that was attacking the companies and taking them out only after a short moment was completely useless at that point when it faced the program that had appeared.
And just as they were thinking, something else happened. As the program was trying to continue to attack and look for any other loopholes that it could utilize, the new program suddenly began counter attacking.
The attacks by the new program were very fierce. In just a short period of time, the situation had been changed. The program that was previously attacking relentlessly had suddenly fallen at a disadvantage.
It looked like in the next moment, it was going to fall apart. But before it could do so, another program came out of nowhere and supported it.
With the appearance of the new program, there was a balance that had been created between the two fighting forces. With that, there was a stalemate between the two sides.
But, this did not go on for a very long time. Instead, another program also appeared on the blue side. And the moment that it appeared, unlike the first one that was very good at defending, this program that had appeared this time was very good at attacking.
When it appeared, with just a single attack, it had completely neutralized one of the programs. And before the last program could be retrieved, it was also neutralized completely.
The four men could only watch this scene with their eyes wide open. They couldn\'t believe that there was a certain expert in their country, that was able to do something like that.
They were not idiots. They knew that for an attack like this to be launched on them, the other side had to be fully prepared. For that reason, they didn\'t expect that an expert that they knew nothing of, was able to help them handle the situation.
After neutralizing the forces that were attacking The Rose Entertainment company, the programs that have been created didn\'t stay idle. Instead, one of them completely enveloped The Rose Entertainment company, creating an impenetrable shield.
As for the new program that had appeared, it immediately rushed towards the other areas that were being attacked. And in just a matter of minutes, all the attacks that were being launched in different websites were completely neutralized.
This made the jaws of all the hackers present in the cyber security building to drop. They couldn\'t help but wonder who it was that was able to do that easily.
They were a group of many genius hackers, and yet, they were barely holding on. Even though they were patching some areas that had been penetrated, the moment that they finished patching one area, another area would be penetrated.
For that reason, there was nothing that they could do other than try to defend with their best of their capabilities.
…
Inside his villa, after neutralizing all the attacks that had been launched and clearing all the programs that had been in the form of a virus, Jack didn\'t stop there.
Instead, since there was someone who had decided to attack him, then there was no way that he was going to show mercy.
His fingers danced on the laptop\'s keyboard at a fast speed. This time, he wasn\'t reserving himself at all. He was using his full speed, to type codes on the screen.
As soon as he began a new program, the screen would be filled up in a matter of seconds. If any hacker was here, they would definitely be flabbergasted. After all, it was not just a matter of speed, but even the codes that were being typed on the screen were very strange.
Jack was not yet sure about the source of the attack. For that reason, he began using the code that he had created, to start tracking the IP address of the other party.
Even though he was sure that they were going to use a fake IP address, with his computer mastery, this was nothing to him.
In just a matter of minutes, he had completely gotten past all the defenses that had been set up by the attacking side. And with that, he had immediately gotten the location where the attack was coming from.
His eyes narrowed when he saw that the IP address was coming from Zigo. He knew that he had never offended that country. And, from the series of attacks that had been launched on different platforms, it was obvious that they were trying to launch an attack on Azima.
Even if there was going to be a cyber war between two countries, as long as they didn\'t touch him, then, Jack wasn\'t going to interfere unless there was a need for him to.
But, since they were the first ones who had attacked him, then, what he was going to do next was to attack them as well. So, after getting their location, he immediately got to work.
….
Back in Zigo, all the computer experts that have been gathered together looked at the screens in front of them, with terrified gazes. They couldn\'t believe what had happened.
"Sh*t! How can this be? Even though it is true that Azima is good in terms of technology, it cannot be this good right?"
"We launched a sneak attack on them. How is it possible that they are able to defend against us easily?"
"I guess this is the work of the very top experts of Azima. Look at the program that has attacked us. It seems to be formed by a single person."
"But how can that be possible? How can someone be so skilled to be able to type such a program in a very short period of time?"
"What does it matter? Hurry up and try to launch another attack on them. We cannot give them time to rest. Otherwise, they are going to easily find our location and launch a counter attack."
Just as the group of hackers was about to start typing, suddenly, the screens of their computers went blue. And immediately after that, a series of words appeared.
<Since you dare to mess with me, then you have to be ready for the consequences.>
A chill ran through the spines of all the hackers as they read the words that had appeared on the screens. The moment that these words appeared, they knew that the other party had already found their location.
This was something that they couldn\'t believe. How could it be that the other party had already gotten their location in a very short period of time?
But before they could react, they suddenly heard a whistling sound coming from above. And at that exact moment, they felt a chill in their heart.
Before they could react, suddenly, a large explosion occurred. The area where all the experts had been gathered together was completely flattened.
A huge crater was formed, with no sense of a building previously existing there. Now, in this deserted place, there was only a deep crater that had appeared, creating a contrasting view with the rest of the landscape.
…
The moment that this occurred, Kevin and Andrew who were together in the president\'s office received the information.
Their eyes widened In disbelief, as they had never expected something like this to happen.
"Who is it that launched the medium range ballistic missile?!" Kevin sprung onto his feet as he shouted with rage in his voice. His eyes had already turned bloodshot, it was as if he was ready to kill someone.
Andrew on the other hand was already soaked in cold sweat. His body had already begun trembling, as he prayed in his heart that Kevin would not kill him to try and vent his anger.
