Wu Zimo rubbed his itchy nose. He murmured, then immediately replaced it with a grinning expression. He rubbed his hands together. He couldn't wait to download the documents he had just downloaded.
These documents were even larger than the maps he had stolen from the Heaven's Wrath Corps before pertaining to the distribution of spider Zergs on Planet XT781. It couldn't be helped, since a majority of these documents were videos.
That's right, the downloaded documents Wu Zimo had risked nearly being captured for were the videos from the monitoring insects that had recorded everything that had happened on Planet XT781.
"Fuck, there are unexpectedly so many. Sorting out the useful materials really is a very big undertaking." When Wu Zimo saw the number of videos, he felt like he was being pressed down by Mt. Tai for a while.
However, Wu Zimo wasn't the type of person who was endlessly greedy. Compared to the other participating students, his golden finger was already large enough to make him a golden giant.
Wu Zimo, who was drowning in videos, didn't know how much his last strike had shocked Lao Yu and the other members of the Heaven's Wrath Corps.
"Lao Yu, what did you guys notice at the end?"
While Lao Yu was restoring the areas Wu Zimo had detonated with his data, flustered, an internal privileged communication that didn't require Da Li's permission directly connected to the large screen in the monitoring room.
What appeared was Rocard, who was in the Heaven's Wrath Corps and busy with managing all kinds of files.
Rocard was originally sorting out the data related to Wu Zimo. However, a warning suddenly popped up on his special internal monitoring system.
As the young master of the Maca family, the family that owned the most stock in the StarNet, his ability to handle information and data wasn't any worse than the genius Lao Yu's.
In the Heaven's Wrath Corps' network, there were many programs that he had compiled. So, when something collapsed on Lao Yu's side, his monitoring program would receive the feedback and he would know.
When Rocard opened the video in front of him, he saw Da Li's team bustling about in the monitoring room. He raised his eyebrows.
"Major General Rocard."
Upon seeing Rocard's image, Da Li's team stood still. Their bodies were tall and straight as they faced Rocard with a military salute. Rocard nodded in response, hinting towards Da Li report what they had uncovered.
After listening to Da Li's report, Rocard's solemn gaze turned slightly threatening. Unexpectedly, there really was a person who dared to twist the Heaven's Wrath Corps' tiger whiskers. Recently, it seemed like the rats hiding in the dark thought that Heaven's Wrath Corps was a beast without claws and teeth during their period of quiet meditation?
Fortunately, Wu Zimo couldn't see Rocard's current expression. Otherwise, he would be stunned speechless.
This really was a misunderstanding, dear! He just wanted to find a little more material, that's all. He didn't want to challenge the Heaven's Wrath Corps' prestige!
Even if Wu Zimo had a hacking god's ego, he absolutely wouldn't be as brainless as to believe that his ability could stand up to the head of the Federation's three big legions, the Heaven's Wrath Corps!
Even if they were the protagonist, such an arrogant and conceited person wouldn't last more than three episodes in that role. Wu Zimo understood that no matter who you offended, you couldn't offend a powerful country. Even if you ran to outer space, they could still dig you out of your rat hole.
So even if Wu Zimo's past self was a highly skilled hacker, he never went to that untouchable world.
Everyone in the monitoring room could sense the cold intent that burst from Rocard. Da Li's sentinels could especially sense the senior's imposing power.
Even though he was the deputy commander of the Heaven's Wrath Corps, he normally seemed to be frivolous and not the least bit serious. However, no one dared to look down on Rocard, this young deputy commander of the Heaven's Wrath Corps.
"How much damage is there?" Rocard's voice finally allowed Da Li and the sentinels to shrug off the feeling of their spirit being oppressed.
Da Li couldn't answer this question, and he turned his head to look at Lao Yu. When Lao Yu heard this question, he looked up at Rocard, a little embarrassed.
"Cough cough, the other only fried my pursuing data and banned my administrative privileges."
"...What?"
It wasn't just Rocard, but everyone in the monitoring room who saw the scarlet warning thought that a disaster had been brought upon their network, precisely because it was time for the First Military Academy's yearly assessment. It was held on Planet XT781, where there were a large number of spider Zergs as well as a thousand participating students.
When there was a warning just before, Da Li worried that the other's attack would affect the monitoring insects' function. If the monitoring insects stopped working and the students in the assessment ran across danger, they might not be able to report it to the team members in charge of the rescue in time.
"Then, there's only this?"
How could Rocard not think of what Da Li was thinking about? He was nervous for this assessment because even if there was a cap on deaths, if their neglect brought about irreversible damage, it would be their responsibility!
However, from what Lao Yu was currently telling them, the only thing that was banned was his own scope of authority. This gave the people who was extremely nervous in the beginning a hilarious ending. Were they being played with?!
"To answer Major General, yes. There's only this!" When Lao Yu answered Rocard, there was a bitterness in his heart that no one could understand...
He would have rather waged a war of 3000 rounds with the fellow who attacked their network and hidden away in a secret place, leaving everything broken and chaotic than suffer under his current helpless excitement.
What kind of trick was just banning his authority?! Even if he didn't have the authority, did the other not think that his team members also didn't have it?! He could swap out names and still be a hero!
"Cough cough, Lao Yu, please write me a report on this and send me the code for the invasive program the other used."
After Rocard finished speaking, he swept his gaze over everyone in the monitoring room and continued: "I hope that everyone can be more focused for the First Military Academy's yearly assessment this time."
"These subordinates will definitely fulfill the task!"
"Very good, I'll be proud of you." He didn't ramble. Rocard almost couldn't bear it and he immediately cut off the connection. In his empty office, Rocard finally couldn't contain himself and burst out laughing, laying down on his desk.
"Hahahaha, I can't take it. Lao Yu's expression just now was really too funny! For the fellow who put such a funny expression on the zombie Lao Yu's face, I'll be a little more gentle when I catch you, hahahaha!"
"What are you laughing about?"
Because he was laughing too loudly, Rocard didn't hear the knock on his door. Scott had no choice but to open the door himself and enter, only to see Rocard without the least bit of bearing, lying on the desk and laughing until tears almost flowed from his eyes.
Rocard laughed until he was hiccuping, but still went through what had just happened, albeit intermittently.
The Marshal couldn't stamp down on his friend's laughter, so he calmly nodded to show that he understood, then let him follow up on the situation.
Rocard nodded, seeing Scott's timely arrival. Then he shouted at Scott, who was preparing to leave, "The information pertaining to Wu Zimo has already been prepared. It just so happens that you're here, so I'll just send it to you right now."
Scott looked at Rocard with his calm silver eyes, then nodded.
As the person in charge, Scott was clear on the efficiency of the Heaven's Wrath Corps' internal investigation team. The internal investigation team had unexpectedly spent two days investigating Wu Zimo, who was an orphan who had neither status nor background. Scott was left doubting whether Rocard had conducted a pointless investigation.
When his good friend got bored, he would lose his head and go off on some senseless business. Scott wondered if he should let his friend know that if he had free time, he should help out with the documents rather than waste his time doing senseless things.
It was fortunate that Rocard, who was working with the data about Wu Zimo, didn't know about how his good friend was considering squeezing out more of his working hours. Otherwise, cursing the omnipotent single dog so that he could never free himself would be too light!
He ought to curse him so that he could only find a person that would strongly attack him!
Even though this curse was very difficult to implement, they were currently in the Interstellar. It seemed that there would be a few sentinels stronger than Marshal Scott Alman.
Lao Yu, who had received Rocard's order, disregarded the administrative account Wu Zimo banned. He wrote a detailed report on the network battle, restored the code for the 'suicide' bomb that had fried his pursuing data to the best of his ability, and organized it into a document.
At this moment, Lao Yu was restoring Wu Zimo's data bomb and noticed finally realized why the other was able to escape from his grasp. However, he still had his suspicions.
"The way that this code is compiled is quite odd."
Lao Yu was just like a modern man reviewing the oracle bone inscriptions of ancient men. It would be odd if he was able to understand the code Wu Zimo compiled.
"How odd."
The other people in the monitoring room finally breathed a sigh of relief when they realized that the attack on their network hadn't affected the First Military Academy's yearly assessment. Xiao Ba, an originally lively fellow, was sharp-eared and heard Lao Yu mumbling to himself. Curious, he immediately went over to ask questions.
Lao Yu didn't keep him in suspense and pointed towards the screen, where the data had already been restored, "Look. This is the code that just fried my pursuing program."
"..."
It would be even odder for a layperson like Xiao Ba to understand the code that even Lao Yu couldn't. Xiao Ba, who thought that there was some interesting situation he could gossip about, rolled his eyes at Lao Yu and returned to his seat, continuing to work.
Lao Yu didn't pay attention to Xiao Ba's manner. Anyways, it would be enough for him to understand what was so special about the code.
However, when Lao Yu sorted out the program for the code, sorted out the events, and reported it to Rocard, it also attracted the attention of another person who focused on unusual data.
"This is the data bomb that Lao Yu's opponent used?"
When Rocard received Lao Yu's report, he would certainly send a copy to Scott. Rocard had just finished reading it when he heard the question from Scott, who was sitting beside him.
Rocard nodded. "It is." Then he thought of Lao Yu's gloomy expression, and his eyes concealed his mirth.
"The person who compiled this code is especially ferocious." Aside from having the courage to attack the Heaven's Wrath Corps' network, the person who compiled the code and could beat Lao Yu must be very strong.
"We must find him!"
Unlike Rocard's smiling expression, Scott's silver eyes were incomparably firm. He finally remembered why he felt that the code was familiar. He restrained his excitement; he had to find the person who compiled the code!
At any cost!
