Chapter 762 Revenge Ignites Chaos
Cutting off the network is like cutting off a blood vessel, and polluting the network is like injecting poison into people.
Large-scale information warfare has similar effects to large-scale physical warfare, and it is a disaster for ordinary people.
In this network war, 25 of Nisto's 64 network sites were shut down, failed or out of service. Virus programs and malicious traffic invaded the network facilities and turbulently flowed.
This resulted in more than 10,000 vehicle delays and collisions, numerous information files were leaked, many implants were damaged, and about 250,000 terminals were infected with viruses.
There are also a large number of people who rely on navigation systems to drive in the wind and snow, but now they are misled and lost in the depths of the snow and ice.
Even smart screens can’t be trusted in today’s northern archipelago, covered in ransomware and erroneous ads, making them as unsightly as ad-strewn telephone poles, and even more frightening.
For those affected, all they can do is to throw away their mobile phones and escape from all smart machines as much as possible, and hope that this disaster will pass as soon as possible.
"The computer I just bought broke..."
"All websites are down! Help—"
"What did Nestor do!"
"It's so scary...Who will save me..."
"Help me, help me!"
"Believe in Nisto Corporation... Believe that Nisto Corporation will definitely win!"
They felt unprecedented fear in the chaos, but they also trusted that Nisto Corporation could win the final victory.
Xu Yang clearly collected all the information.
So he sent an equal amount of terror back to the West Coast.
The attack from "It" reaches beyond the ocean, launching an attack on the prestigious super-large city "West Coast".
The so-called West Coast is the only city in Xintai Xizhou that has opened up to the outside world on a large scale.
It is actually a huge corporate city composed of many satellite cities, with a total population of 45.7 million.
The west coast is also rated as the worst city in the continent, the main reason? High rates of violence and crime, more people living below the poverty line than anywhere else.
This truth cannot be denied, but people still rush to emigrate to the West Coast, and this city always gives those who arrive a glimmer of hope.
Now this vital city has been attacked by malicious information flow!
All the virus programs and attack information were originally used by various Internet companies to attack Nisto Corporation. Xu Yang quickly reprogrammed them and turned them into this information offensive that later generations called "the black tide".
It destroyed most of the network access points in an instant, submerging the information protection fortress in the local Sea of Hillis, like a big wave smashing through a bunker!
With most digital mind holders caught up in the attack, there are fewer manpower to defend.
"Go online! Prepare to defend!"
"The Nisto Corporation has launched an attack!"
"Attention! Red Alert!"
Comedian and Maverick, diving in the depths of the Sea of Hillis, were also attacked the most violently in their lives.
"Too much—" Maverick felt the pressure of the infinite operation, which almost tore his data awareness.
The comedian chooses to be humorous, and she exits the system, leaving him alone to test Maverick's patience.
Maverick held on for a long time until he broke down.
The disintegration of all information defenses is reflected in the city itself.
In the first second, all power plants above the scale were attacked, the units were shut down, the turbines exploded, and each device fell into a major shutdown accident, making it difficult to restart.
In the second, the financial trading system on the west coast broke through the upper limit of pressure, all numbers began to be cleared, a large number of private accounts of entrepreneurs were destroyed, a large number of bonds, credentials and keys disappeared without a trace, and many banking systems went down.
In the third second, the traffic control system was destroyed, the drone quickly lost control and fled the scene, the intelligent driving vehicle fell into an uncontrollable state and refused to take over manually, all airports were shut down, and all flights were out of schedule.
In the fourth second, the super-large-scale monitoring system shut down, causing a large number of prisons, public security services, and automatic street defense machines to fail.
As a result, the West Coast, which is already known for its extreme chaos, has now fallen into extremely large-scale turmoil.
People tasted a better panic.
Countless gangsters, mercenary organizations, and members of the black market became active, taking advantage of this opportunity to wreak havoc on the West Coast.
Now that the company's defense facilities and security forces are gradually failing, they have started to attack targets that they had never dared to imagine.
"Wow!"
"--what happened!"
"Help!"
"Going crazy--"
"It's fighting! Someone's shooting!"
Many well-known corporate headquarters on the West Coast were attacked. Most of the blocks were instantly flooded with gunshots and bombs. Jewelry stores, shopping malls and banks became important targets.
The West Coast lacks everything but outlaws, full of desperately needy gangsters, cyborgs, mutants, cyberpsychos, and biochemical monsters.
For them, this is tantamount to a godsend opportunity.
"Come on!"
"Company dog's drones are down!"
"The turret is not moving!"
"Fry it! Grab it!"
The Beast Gang, Howling Wolf Gang, Biochemical Gang, Andes Gang, Street Dragon and other gangs, as well as organizations such as the Batamov Club, Juggernaut Movement, Light of the Soul, Freedom Police, etc., are all heading towards their respective paths during this rare opportunity. The goal is to give it a go.
The sky was black and smoky, and the gunfire continued.
"I heard that this cyber attack is a counterattack by Nisto Corporation!"
"So awesome!"
"The Nisto company is too aggressive!"
"This is the only chance! Give it a shot!"
For people who love chaos, there's nothing quite like the West Coast right now.
High-ranking white-collar workers and entrepreneurs lost their lives after losing the protection of information technology facilities and automatic troops; the wealthy districts that used to have good law and order are now just treasure troves waiting to be looted!
"Our navigation system is down!"
"How come... the site of Sea of Hillis..."
"I'm the only one left alive in the Public Security Bureau! It's useless for you to shout at me!"
"Hurry up and take up arms to protect the company's property! Move!"
"Activate the backup robots!"
"They... how come they have so many people!"
The company people set up a barrier made of violence and information between themselves and all living beings. When this barrier is broken, infinite hatred, killing intent and chaos become their new baptism.
West Coast, the headquarters of Yemen Technology Corporation.
Yemen Technology produces 50% of the personal terminals and 70% of the operating systems in the world, and it is also one of the subsidiaries of Lighthouse Core.
Right now, the company's chief executive, Rohit Memnon, is standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, gazing out at the devastation across the West Coast.
"I heard that the east and west worlds are attacked equally." He asked the artificial intelligence assistant in the room.
"Dear Mr. Memnon, this statement is not particularly accurate: according to limited information, perhaps both sides have received the same equivalent of information virus damage, but the attitudes of the citizens of the two sides are different; the West Coast has fallen into a state of large-scale chaos and disorder However, the cities within Nisto’s jurisdiction generally maintained order and stability, and citizens voluntarily stayed at their homes, telling each other to be patient until Nisto’s network was repaired.”
"Why?" Memnon's eyes fell on the burning neighborhood in the distance.
The beatings, smashing, and looting continued, like hell descending on the world, and sins were breeding everywhere.
If Nisto Corporation was also attacked by information, their city should have become so chaotic.
"Perhaps it is composed of the following reasons: First, Easterners are more rule-abiding, while Westerners are more independent; secondly, Nisto Corporation has rebuilt the order at the grassroots level of society, while the power groups on the West Coast have maintained chaos at the grassroots level; in addition, Nisto Corporation It is more supportive of community-based cohesion, a structure that is stronger than family and more flexible than society, helping to maintain people's patience and stability in times of crisis," said the AI assistant.
"... How many years has it been since Xintaixizhou was attacked by the mainland?" he asked.
"Since the Witch Army burned down the east coast 253 years ago, this is the first time that the mainland of Xintaixizhou has been attacked on a large scale. Even though this is a network information war, it does threaten the mainland." The artificial intelligence assistant said. .
Memnon frowned.
Most New Taixians have no concern for what lies beyond the land beneath their feet, nor do they know where in the world the Northern Archipelago lies.
If they found that the presence of the West Coast would interfere with this isolated calm, they would not hesitate to close the West Coast and dissolve the companies that were currently active.
At that time, Memnon will also lose his position, and his status as an honorary Neo-Taixiese will be forcibly kicked back to some dirty Mediterranean island.
"The core of the lighthouse pursues the great isolation strategy of not being disturbed. We never waste time on disputes on the ground. This is a wise decision that we have maintained for more than 100 years. Now convey my opinion to Roisio: stop this An information war," Memnon said slowly.
"Roisio will not obey any order lightly, no matter who it comes from." The artificial intelligence prompts.
"..." Memnon frowned.
boom!
Explosion sound.
Memnon suddenly saw black clouds slowly rising from a corner of the city.
The AI assistant speculated that a truck transporting hazardous substances had crashed into a West Coast street in the chaos.
In a matter of hours, the toxic substance will blanket most of the streets and skies, turning the West Coast into a polluted and more unsightly mess.
Seeing this scene, Memnon no longer hesitated.
"He wants us to sacrifice like pawns? Tell him to stop! This damn 'West Coast Treaty', without the West Coast, what kind of treaty is it!" Memnon's tone was firm.
...
At the same time, Xu Yang rescued the weak Linyin from the bottom of the Sea of Hillis.
Her data flow has not been updated for a long time, her consciousness has been split, and turned into a large number of files archived in the hard disk center.
"You spent a lot of time defending against this war, you can rest now." Xu Yang helped Linyin slowly recover her information imprint.
"...Mr. Internet Supervisor..." Linyin couldn't clearly detect or analyze Xu Yang's current state.
He is too powerful, like some kind of superhuman or information complex, unless he controls multiple supercomputers at the same time, it is impossible to do so perfectly.
"It's fine, now you have to go up and collect your consciousness data again, or you will drown in the Sea of Hillis."
"Large-scale attack..." Lin Yin slowly floated up.
"We made it through."
"Did you fight back against those bastards?" Linyin asked impatiently.
"Attacked, but not fully attacked, did not completely destroy the West Coast."
"Why... oh - it's electricity!"
"That's right, I live on countless terminals, and every action I make will burn all our power."
Just now, the extremely large-scale data attack launched by Xu Yang directly consumed 1/10 of the power generation of the entire northern archipelago!
This has brought immeasurable impact on all generators and factories, and many generator sets have also been damaged by overload operation.
If another computing attack of the same magnitude is launched, I am afraid that there will be no electricity available for a long time in the future.
To act on this scale, he needs more energy.
I'm afraid it will take the power of nuclear fusion to support his current form of existence.
Therefore, Xu Yang stopped, and turned around to repair the wounds he suffered in the northern archipelago.
People trust Nisto Company to survive this crisis, and Nisto Company will do its best to ensure their happiness and safety.
