Chapter 85 The Direction Has Gone Wrong! The US: Investigate the World's Top Hackers!
Just as the American general was about to agree to the proposal from the Japanese representative, the South Korean representative raised objections during the video conference.
"General, I think this direction is wrong!" the South Korean representative said urgently. He was exhausted by the series of events and was afraid of taking another wrong step.
"Why?" The American general frowned.
"Think about it, whether it's burning down the sacred toilet or looting your military base, these are not things that one person, or even one or two tourists, could accomplish in just one day!"
The South Korean representative analyzed, "This requires meticulous planning, strong logistics, and a deep understanding of our internal structure! Wasting valuable investigative resources on screening thousands of ordinary tourists will only cause us to miss the best opportunity to solve the case!"
He paused for a moment, then offered his perspective: "I believe the key issue isn't how they got in, but rather how they caused our high-tech defense systems to collectively fail!"
"To be able to simultaneously interfere with satellites, surveillance systems, and infrared sensors is something no ordinary person could do! Behind this, there must be a top-tier hacker with exceptional technical skills, or a hacker organization providing support! A cyberattack of this level cannot possibly go unnoticed! We should concentrate all our efforts, starting from the network level, to track down those digital ghosts!"
The American general pondered for a moment and found the South Korean analysis to be very reasonable.
Compared to searching for tourists like looking for a needle in a haystack, reverse tracing from a technical perspective seems to be a more efficient and accurate method.
“That makes sense.” He nodded and immediately issued a new order: “Order the Cyber Security Command, in conjunction with the National Security Agency, to use the highest authority to track down all top hackers worldwide! List all suspicious targets that have recently shown unusual activity! I want to see who exactly is the invisible ghost in our cyber world!”
The investigation was thus led astray by themselves, onto a completely wrong track.
...
Meanwhile, high in the air, heading towards the Philippines.
Zhou Jue and Cheng Gan were leaning back in their seats, resting with their eyes closed.
To facilitate their conversation, Zhou Jue took out a pale yellow "silencing talisman" from the secret box and flicked it lightly. Instantly, an invisible barrier enveloped the two of them, isolating them from all surrounding sounds.
"Sister Cheng Gan," Zhou Jue opened his eyes and asked in a low voice, "Does the Philippines... have a deep grudge against us?"
Although she had a good grasp of history, Cheng Gan, a professional soldier, was more knowledgeable about the details of modern geopolitical frictions.
Cheng Gan's eyes turned cold, and she answered succinctly, "There are many frictions, mainly over the South China Sea issue."
Her voice was calm, yet it carried a suppressed anger.
"On May 21 this year, a Philippine government vessel illegally entered the waters near Zhubi Reef and Tiexian Reef in our Nansha Islands without any permission from our country and carried out provocative activities. Our coast guard vessels warned and drove them away, but they have not given up their evil intentions and continue to make small moves, relying on the backing of certain major powers."
Zhou Jue's face also darkened.
They invade our territory and disturb our maritime borders.
This is no longer a simple case of taking advantage of loopholes; this is a problem that needs to be addressed and taught a lesson!
"Understood." Zhou Jue nodded, then brought up the energy map on his tablet again, zooming in to show the map of the Philippines.
The energy reaction here was even less intense than in South Korea, almost negligible. But Zhou Jue's focus was no longer on those scattered points of light.
Her finger traced several red dots marking military bases on the map, then dotted the vast South China Sea.
A bold plan quickly took shape in her mind.
"Sister Cheng Gan, besides grabbing some stuff this time, how about we leave them a 'big gift' before we leave?" Zhou Jue's lips curled into a wicked smile.
Cheng Gan looked at her and immediately understood what she meant, a hint of approval and expectation flashing in his eyes.
On the plane, the two discussed the details of the operation in hushed tones, referring to the map, and finalized every step clearly.
After the plane landed, the two did not rush to take action, but instead found a hotel to rest and recuperate, thus relieving their fatigue from continuous combat.
As night fell, the operation began.
The first step is to take advantage of the loopholes.
Guided by the faint clues on the system map, they swept away the few natural mineral deposits and ancient plants containing meager amounts of energy within the Philippines like autumn leaves in the wind. Although they weren't valuable, every little bit helps, and they couldn't let them go.
The second step is to give a big gift.
The two infiltrated the Philippines' largest air force base. The defenses there were as flimsy as paper in their eyes.
They didn't take anything; instead, they "gave" a gift to them.
With a thought, Zhou Jue took out the "Shinshin" F-3 fifth-generation demonstrator aircraft that he had smuggled from Japan from the Starry Sky Secret Box.
However, she had already tampered with the plane beforehand.
On the way there, she had the system completely disassemble the aircraft's core avionics system, key engine components, and all modules involving core technologies, leaving only an empty shell that appeared to be intact.
She quietly placed the empty shell in the most conspicuous spot in the hangar, next to several old fighter jets that the Philippines had purchased from the United States.
After doing all this, the two quietly left, keeping their achievements and fame hidden.
One can imagine the shock the Philippine Air Force will feel when they discover a top-of-the-line Japanese fighter jet has appeared out of nowhere in their hangar tomorrow morning! And what a storm will erupt when the US and Japan learn of this news!
Let them fight like dogs! After all, the feud between the Philippines and Japan is quite significant!
The third step is to collect interest.
After leaving the military base, the two headed straight for the harbor.
Based on the intelligence provided by Cheng Gan and the system's precise positioning, they quickly located the government vessel that had illegally entered my country's territorial waters.
At this moment, it is quietly moored in the harbor.
Zhou Jue and Cheng Gan stood in the shadows at a distance, watching the ship.
Zhou Jue did not use any props, but instead mobilized the spiritual power within his body and concentrated it at his fingertips.
"go!"
An invisible, sharp burst of energy shot out, silently and precisely striking the area below the waterline of the government vessel.
"laugh--"
An inconspicuous little hole appeared in the thick steel plating of the ship's hull. Then, a second, a third…
In one breath, Zhou Jue drilled more than a dozen small holes at different key locations on the bottom of the ship.
Seawater was gurgling and pouring wildly into the cabin through those small holes.
In just a few hours, the ship will silently sink to the bottom of the sea without anyone noticing.
Besides this ship, all the other ships docked in the port were also breached!
After completing all this, the two did not linger and went straight to the airport to board a flight to their next country—India.
In India, they used the same method to completely paralyze several military outposts and radar stations that were constantly provoking in the border area, using the same stealthy means.
Their actions were like a storm sweeping across Asia, so fast it was breathtaking.
After harvesting the Indian drug, the two did not rest for a moment and immediately changed flights, flying to the place of abundant energy that they had initially seen on the map, a place as radiant as the sun.
When the plane landed at Cairo International Airport, the two, who had been traveling for several days, finally felt a little tired.
But more than anything, I felt excited.
The countries mentioned earlier were mainly there to vent their anger and collect some interest.
And this ancient and mysterious land, home to the pyramids, is the real first feast of their round-the-world trip!
