The ten minutes of "internal strife" within the 卍 Alliance flew by.
The attack begins.
The twelve hackers' eyes sharpened instantly, and their speed increased even further.
Yu Shang's eyes flashed sharply, and his fingers flew as he immediately attacked Qin Sheng's computer. However, in less than ten seconds, his movements slowed down, and a look of doubt appeared in his eyes.
Cannot find it.
He couldn't even find the path to infiltrate the system!
How could that be!
Qin Sheng was right next to him, less than five meters away. He could see her with just a turn of his head, yet he couldn't even hack into the system?!
Those in the realm do not believe in evil.
He gritted his teeth and quickened his movements once again.
One time, no.
Twice, no.
Three times... finally found it!
The domain's eyes lit up, and it immediately probed the firewall through the vulnerability.
However, in the next moment, a seemingly simple piece of code followed his attack and infiltrated his computer, and an alarm suddenly sounded.
Yu Shang's heart trembled violently.
There was no time to think. Almost instinctively, he quickly exited Qin Sheng's system, switched from offense to defense, and spent a full three minutes completely erasing the seemingly simple but actually persistent code.
He couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
There are quite a few hackers who have had the same experience as those on the domain.
Since Qin Sheng didn't seem like a skilled fighter, everyone decided to attack him, hoping to eliminate him as quickly as possible, but they all ended up getting counterattacked.
Two less-than-ideal hackers even thought that Qin Sheng's code was so simple that it wouldn't be very offensive, so they simply set up a defense and continued their attack.
The result was predictable.
After two piercing alarm sounds, both of their screens went completely black.
No matter what method they used, the screen did not repeat twice.
With the one-minute countdown over, both players were eliminated.
And at this moment, less than three minutes had passed since the attack officially began.
Hacking is a rather mysterious thing. Most people present only saw lines of white characters flashing rapidly across the screen, followed by a series of alarms, each one sharp and urgent.
Then, a short while later, two people were led off the field by the referees.
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.
Two people have already been eliminated in such a short time?
Isn't this going too fast?
However, things slowed down considerably after that.
Having learned their lesson, everyone was somewhat uneasy, but dared not hack into Qin Sheng's computer again. After quickly cleaning up Qin Sheng's simple code, they began attacking or defending against each other.
Hackers who can be sent or invited by major forces to participate in the competition are at least top performers in the hacker world, and more than half of them are experts from hacker alliances, so their strength is naturally about the same.
Furthermore, the twelve factions also have cooperative or contractual relationships, and an agreement has already been reached in private.
Therefore, apart from Qin Sheng, whose background was unclear, and Yu Shang, who was recognized as the strongest, the remaining eight hackers were divided into three small groups to resist together and advance and retreat together.
Despite the complex situation, a brief balance was maintained in the competition arena. A full ten minutes passed without any third contestant being eliminated.
However, it only lasted until the tenth minute.
As Yu Shang watched them locked in a stalemate, Qin Sheng, who was beside him, had already leisurely finished a game. The embarrassment, humiliation, and resentment in his heart were almost overflowing.
I've completely lost patience.
After four waves of intense attacks, one of the hackers was forced to retreat.
The balance has been broken.
One hacker after another was eliminated, and within just seven minutes, six hackers had left the competition venue.
Only four people are left.
Qin Sheng, Yu Shang, Blue Whale (invited by the H Party), and a top hacker from the SAMEN (Savage Alliance) itself.
At this point, everyone gradually slowed down their offensive. Unanimously, the other three focused their attention on Qin Sheng and launched a new round of attacks on Qin Sheng's system.
The result was exactly the same as before.
Once again, that simple code successfully infiltrated their system.
However, having learned from their previous experience, the three of them only spent about half a minute solving the code this time and launched their third attack.
Although the H Party, the Salvation Alliance, and the Mos Mercenary Group are also adversaries, they had already reached a tacit understanding when the competition was first proposed—no matter which side wins, they must not give the Swastika Alliance the opportunity to obtain the mining rights.
Therefore, with only the four of them remaining, the three naturally united and reached a consensus—to eliminate Qin Sheng first.
If Qin Sheng's team gets fourth place in this round, then unless the Wanmeng team wins both of the next two matches, the Wanmeng team will not be able to obtain the mining rights.
The probability of winning both games is extremely small.
When that time comes, it will be enough for the three parties to determine a winner.
The three hackers had been instructed beforehand, so they didn't need to communicate and launched their attack in unison.
If it doesn't work three times, try four times; if it doesn't work four times, try five times.
With the three working together, by the seventh attack, the system firewall that Qin Sheng had spent six or seven minutes building finally revealed a tiny vulnerability.
The three individuals on the domain were all top-notch hackers, so they were the first to discover and exploit the vulnerability. They immediately launched a fierce attack along the vulnerability, expanding it from one vulnerability to more than a dozen in less than a minute.
The entire firewall was teetering on the brink of collapse.
A sharp alarm blared throughout the scene, and everyone's eyes were drawn to Qin Sheng.
Even Zhu Xiyuan and Lin Chengqiong clenched their fists nervously.
The only one who could remain calm was Mo Huang. He glanced at everyone and said with a look that said, "You are all too naive."
He patted Jiang Fu on the shoulder and said, "Go to the car and get my grill, charcoal, and ingredients."
Jiang Fu: "...Why do I have to go?"
Mo Huang shook his head and sighed, "I think you're too nervous. Let me give you a chance to relax..."
Besides, isn't it normal for me to grill meat and you to take things?
Mo Huang said with an air of self-righteousness, "Or should I go get you to roast?"
Jiang Fu: "...Okay."
As she got up, she looked in Qin Sheng's direction, only to see that she had already put down her phone and fixed her gaze on the computer screen, her hands back on the keyboard. Her heart tightened, and she subconsciously stopped in her tracks.
But the next moment, Mo Huang kicked him in the butt: "Go now!"
If you don't see Miss Qin about to make her move, it means the competition is about to end, so we need to hurry up and prepare!
Jiang Fu: "..."
He could only pat his backside and leave, cursing under his breath.
