“S City again?” Zhou Xuan raised his eyebrows in surprise. He leaned closer to the computer controlled by He Sheng and looked at it carefully.

As the special program written by He Sheng ran step by step, further details about this mysterious person’s address appeared.

“S City is close to the suburbs, District E? Looking at the satellite image, that place is basically filled with bungalows and shanties. It’s a slum, right?” He Sheng pulled up a map and asked curiously.

He seemed to have been to this place the last time he went to S City… Zhou Xuan revealed a thoughtful expression.

“I’ve found the Internet mobile device that that person used!” He Sheng suddenly shouted in surprise. Then, his fingers quickly typed on the keyboard in a daze, trying to establish a connection with the mysterious person’s device.

!!

“Found it?” When Zhang Huang and Lin Xiao heard this, they sat up excitedly. They looked at each other and saw disbelief and ecstasy in each other’s eyes.

As long as they could find the other party, they were willing to pay any price. They only hoped that the other party would give them a chance to meet, even if it was just for five minutes!

“Wait a minute…” He Sheng quickly typed the code, but his expression was no longer as relaxed as before. It became more and more serious. He had just locked onto the other party’s mobile device and tried to hack into it through the remote virus code. However, the originally unimpeded search process had gone awry at this step.

The progress bar on the computer screen showing whether the virus had successfully loaded was stuck halfway. After half a minute, there was no progress.

At the same time, Shan Chen finished his homework and looked at the news on his phone as usual before bed. Just as he was reading a piece of social entertainment news with relish, a bright red box suddenly appeared on his phone.

[Warning! This device has been invaded by an unknown virus. It is temporarily blocked by the firewall. Please deal with it as soon as possible.]

Was there a virus in his phone? Shan Chen was a little stunned. But he had never used his phone to browse any informal websites or click on a potentially dangerous link. Where did this virus come from? Or was it just a prank?

With a trace of hope, Shan Chen tried to delete the warning bullet box that had appeared. However, as soon as he moved, the bullet box became unstable. It flashed, and the bright red warning words kept indicating the seriousness of the problem.

At this moment, his phone had already lost control. Shan Chen was a little flustered. He subconsciously looked at Shan Yue’s room. Thinking that Shan Yue seemed to be in a bad mood tonight, he hesitated for a moment before trying to press the restart button.

However, the restart icon on the screen only lit up for a second before it instantly dimmed. The warning box was still flashing. After another five seconds, Shan Chen’s phone screen turned black.

“What’s going on?” Shan Chen was even more at a loss.

On the other side.

“It’s a little tricky. I failed to invade with the virus just now. The other party’s equipment was loaded with a very tight firewall program that intercepted my virus. Now, I’m trying to attack a second time.” He Sheng’s eyes were fixed on the computer screen, not daring to be distracted.

After hitting the enter key, He Sheng sent another even stronger invasion control virus while paying attention to the movements of the other party’s firewall.

In the Zhou family’s living room, Lin Xiao and Zhang Huang’s eyes were also closely watching the computer screen in front of He Sheng. They had a premonition that finding this person this time seemed to be a little tricky. Although they could not understand the dense code and were helpless against He Sheng’s little trouble, they silently prayed that He Sheng’s job would be smoother.

Only Zhou Xuan remained calm and took a sip of Longjing tea from time to time.

He did not think that a hacker more powerful than He Sheng could appear in a small city like S City. After all, He Sheng was also a hacker ranked fourteenth in the world. It might be a little troublesome to encounter a tightly guarded firewall, but it was only a matter of time before he could solve it.

“The other party counterattacked! However…” He Sheng looked at the counterattack program feedback and was a little lost. He did not speak for a long time.

“What’s wrong?” Zhou Xuan asked.
