After Qi Ling left, only the scene was left in a mess.

As a rising star in the second half of this year, the edge mercenary group has attracted a lot of attention from the outside world.

The Edge Building is a very magnificent building, coupled with the fame of the mercenary group itself, it has become a check-in point for many Internet celebrities, and there are people who come to live broadcast and shoot short videos every day.

Now that the Edge Building has been attacked, the onlookers nearby have taken out their mobile phones to take wild pictures and post them on their social pages.

Netizens on social networking sites saw the relevant news and came over to join in the fun, and then followed suit.

The news spread exponentially, and the topic of [Attack on the Edge Building] was on the hot search in just half an hour.

Su Mo's mobile phone kept ringing, all of them were calls from acquaintances, presumably because he saw the news and asked about the situation, but Su Mo really didn't have the heart to answer them one by one now.

He returned to the lobby and asked Luo Mingsheng, "Do you know Qi Ling?" ”

Luo Mingsheng seemed to be in a trance and didn't come back to his senses.

It wasn't until Su Mo asked a second time that he blinked, looking dazed: "Qi Ling? That girl, you say? I don't know. ”

Su Mo: "Then why did she say something inexplicable to you?" ”

Luo Mingsheng looked embarrassed: "I don't know, I've never seen her, I'm confused." ”

Su Mo sighed and advised: "Lao Luo, I told everyone who joined the group, don't hide anything from me. When you get into trouble, we solve it together. ”

"If you have a holiday with Qi Ling, then tell me honestly, and I'll help you find a way, don't hide it."

Luo Mingsheng looked like he wanted to cry without tears: "Regiment leader, I really don't know her, I'm lying on the gun inexplicably, what's the matter."

Regardless of whether what Luo Mingsheng said was true or not, his mouth was so resolute, Su Mo couldn't continue to ask.

At this time, a familiar voice came from outside the door: "Captain Su." ”

Su Mo turned his head to look at it and was stunned for a moment: "Shangguan Regiment Leader? ”

The person who came was none other than Shangguan Li, and she was followed by several people wearing the uniforms of the Moxue Energy Group, all of whom should be Moxue mercenaries.

Su Mo: "Why are you here?" ”

Dong Dong came over and answered: "I called." Your mobile phone was turned off before, and I couldn't contact me alive or dead, so I had to find a helper by myself first, and I couldn't leave it in a mess. ”

Dongdong's "self-assertion" surprised Su Mo.

Not an angry accident, but a surprise accident.

Dong Dong usually hangs his child, he is not in a positive shape, and he actually knows to stand up to help him support the situation at the critical moment, which is a great progress.

Shangguan Li looked at the mess all over the ground and frowned: "You have been a little miserable. I heard from the second master, you were attacked by hackers? ”

Su Mo said helplessly: "Yes, the firewall we bought from Rick Company didn't withstand it. ”

Shangguan Li shook his head: "Rick's company's firewall is just universal, and it can be used in ordinary times." If you really want to prevent the attack of top hackers, you must set up your own information security team. ”

Su Mo sighed: "This is indeed our marginal shortcoming, and I haven't looked for a good software expert yet." ”

Shangguan Li: "It's okay, I've called our chief information security expert and asked him to help you take a look." ”

Several people walked into the underground laboratory.

The situation here was even worse than the outside, with scorched scorches and metal fragments everywhere, broken instruments twisted and spilled all kinds of papers.

There are also the wreckage of five or six small drones on the ground, the surface of which has exploded and melted, and it looks like it has been blown up by something at close range.

Shangguan Li squatted in front of the wreckage of the drone and looked at Le for a while, squinted his eyes and said, "These are all self-destructing drones, all of which are equipped with bombs. ”

Dong Dong scolded and said: "These things are scary, when you see people, they will hit them like mad dogs, and they will explode when they hit them." ”

Shangguan Li: "That's how self-destructing drones are used. You should be glad that the lab is underground, and the elevator entrance is narrow, so too big a drone to get in. ”

"If that kind of drone carrying a high-yield bomb rushes in and destroys itself, let alone the equipment, none of your researchers will want to live."

Shangguan Li's words made Su Mo scared for a while.

In everything, he has always believed in "people-oriented".

If the experimental instrument is blown up, you can buy it again.

If the data sample is destroyed, it can be rebuilt.

When a person dies, there is nothing.

If this kind of core talent is unfortunately killed in the attack, he can regret it until he can't sleep every night in the future.

The future also followed at this time, and his tone was quite urgent: "The underlying system of our computer has been destroyed, and the data is all gone, can we find a way to get it back?" ”

Shangguan Li said to the security experts: "You go and help them check the database to see if those data samples can be recovered." ”

The security expert came to the computer room, took out the laptop he had brought with him, and connected it to the terminal.

In the future, we will quickly remind: "Be careful, our hardware is all infected by the virus." ”

The security expert nodded: "It's okay, my computer is specially used for drug detection and anti-virus, and there are no confidential documents." ”

He turned on his laptop and went to the operation interface.

It can be seen that the firewall used by Moxue is more advanced than the one that Edge bought from Rick.

Rick's firewall collapsed the moment the virus file was loaded, but the laptop of the Moxue security expert was connected to the terminal.

The security experts called up the system and began to analyze the virus at the data level.

In the future, he is an expert in the field of hardware, and he does not know much about information security technology, so he can only bite his lower lip at this time, nervously tug at his sleeves, and watch others operate.

After some operation, the security expert sighed softly and shook his head: "No, the underlying system has been completely destroyed, and there is no way to restore the data." ”

Hope was shattered, and the future felt sad for a while, squatting on the ground and began to wipe tears.

Su Mo also looked sad, put his hand on her shoulder and comforted: "It's okay, we have time behind us, I'll give you more funds, buy better equipment, and we will slowly make up for the lost progress." ”

The security expert thought for a moment and turned back to give a preliminary plan: "Commander Su, these infected equipment, I suggest that you don't repair and enable them, just physically destroy them directly, and replace them all with new ones, in case there is a virus residue in the future." ”

"Well, I see, then your side" Su Mo said halfway, and suddenly stared directly at the security expert's computer, "Is this situation normal on your computer?" ”

"Huh?" The security expert looked at the computer.

The analysis software used to capture the source code of the virus disappeared at some point, and was replaced by an endless jumble of symbols scrolling wildly across the screen.

"What's the situation?" The security experts were taken aback and kept trying to type in the command symbol, but it was useless.

The jumble of symbols kept tumbling, and finally stopped, and began to deform in unison, and automatically decoded into a universal language.

There are only two words on the screen:

【To Die】

Shangguan Li frowned and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The security expert stared blankly: "Our firewall has also collapsed. This can't be, this is the firewall that our team just upgraded, how could it be discovered so quickly"

Su Mo looked at the computer and shouted, "Hey, it's smoking, it's not right!" ”

I saw that black smoke was coming out of the computer's heat dissipation and exhaust vent, getting bigger and bigger.

Shangguan was quick to leave his eyes and quickly dragged the security expert away.

Su Mo also immediately pounced on the future and protected her underneath.

"Bang!" The laptop brought by Mo Xue suddenly exploded, and all kinds of broken parts flew around.

In addition to the computers that were unplugged, the computers that were still on in the lab also exploded one after another, and electronic sparks were everywhere.

Luckily, the explosion was not very powerful, but the black smoke burned everyone's faces.

"Ahem, cough" Su Mo waved his hand to disperse the black smoke in front of him, and asked with an ugly face, "What's the matter?" Bombed? ”

The security expert straightened his crooked glasses and swallowed his throat: "No, it's the virus control power supply that is overloaded and causes it to overheat and damage. This virus can attack not only software, but also hardware. ”

Shangguan Li asked: "So what do you say?" Can you get it? ”

The security expert wiped the sweat star from his forehead, hesitated for a moment, lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry, two captains, the level of the person who created this virus is above me, far above me, and I can't even capture a sample of the source code."

Shangguan Li was suddenly a little embarrassed.

swaggered and brought people over, thinking it was to save the scene.

As a result, it was completely blown up by the enemy on the spot.

It's a big shame.

Although Shangguan Li didn't help, Su Mo still expressed his sincere gratitude: "It's okay, I've worked hard for you, I'll figure out a way later." In the future, it's time for dinner, so you can take two guests to the restaurant for a bite to eat. ”

The future cried all morning, and his emotions eased a little, wiped away his tears, nodded, and left with the official and security experts.

Su Mo temporarily entrusted the affairs of the group to Dongdong and the others, and drove the black ark to the An'an New District.

Since the technical level can't be done, it's better to go directly to catch Qi Ling himself.

Even if he can't catch it, there should be some clues in Qi Ling's house, which is better than staring at the edge building.

Special permission is required to fly over the An'an New Area, and now that he has no time to look, Su Mo can only drive through the tunnel from the ground to Qi Ling's home, just like yesterday.

As he drove on, he suddenly saw someone holding a black Labrador.

"Squeak—"

He stopped abruptly on the side of the road, looked at the dog, and quickly recognized: "Pippi? ”

"Wang!" Pipsqueak yelled at Summer and recognized the guest brought back by his master yesterday, wagging his tail constantly.

Summer got out of the car and walked over to Pippi, who was a little restless and whimpering.

Leading the dog was a young woman who asked, "Hello, are you its owner?" ”

Su Mo shook his head: "I'm not." Do you know this dog? ”

The young woman also shook her head: "I don't know. I woke up in the morning and was going to walk the family dog, but when I went out, I saw this Labrador tethered to my door, and someone left a letter asking me to adopt it, which I was quite inexplicable. ”

Su Mo: "Can I take a look?" ”

The young woman took out the letter from her pocket: "Here it is." ”

Su Mo opened it and glanced at it.

It's Qi Zero's handwriting, and it can't be wrong.

actually gave away all the dogs he raised, what is this for?

Su Mo asked: "Madam, you live around here, have you ever seen a girl, about 1.67 meters, very beautiful, silver hair, and amber eyes." ”

The young woman thoughtfully: "Silver hair, amber eyes. Oooh oh! Come to think of it, this is her dog, we have talked a few times before walking the dog. ”

"She seems to be called. Qi Zero, right? Very warm and friendly little girl. Are you her boyfriend? ”

Su Mo was a little speechless: "No, I'm with her. Hey, I can't tell you for a while, have you seen her today? ”

The young woman shook her head: "No, I only saw this dog when I went out, I fed it something, and then you came in a while." ”

She pointed into the distance, "I remember that she lives on the hill over there, and it should be ten minutes away by car, eh?" What's the deal with smoke? ”

Su Mo turned his head to look, and his expression couldn't help but freeze.

There was black smoke rising from the mountain not far away, and judging from the location, it was Qi Ling's villa.

"Pipsqueak will let you go first, please take care of it." Su Mo hurriedly got into the Black Ark and started the engine.

He didn't care about the ban anymore, and directly turned on the floating mode, flying to the villa at the fastest speed in a straight line.

When he arrived at the top of the mountain, the scene in front of him made Su Mo's heart sink.

The original magnificent villa was billowing black smoke, and the fire continued to spill out of the windows, and the whole building was blazing.

Is this knowing that you will come here, burning down the villa in advance, wanting to erase the traces?

Su Mo snorted and controlled the Black Ark to land.

There was a pond in the front garden of the villa, and he jumped in to wet his whole body, then took off his coat to cover his mouth and nose, and rushed directly into the burning villa.

The clothes that were full of water would not burn for a while and a half, and he had the "Dragon Flame Blood Code" in his body that he had obtained earlier, and his body had a strong ability to withstand high temperatures, which was enough to walk through the fire scene freely.

The fire had been burning for a while, and the beautiful furniture and warm décor had been blackened.

In the wardrobe I visited yesterday, the delicate and lovely clothes, shoes and socks were also burned to tatters, and the flames were constantly beating on the dummy.

This villa is very large, Su Mo only went to the guest room where he slept yesterday, and he has not been to other places, so he can only search one by one.

I went through every room on every floor, and I didn't see anyone, and I didn't find any useful clues.

He went to Qi Ling's master bedroom and looked around.

Except for ordinary furniture, there is not even a computer.

It doesn't make sense.

Qi Ling is a virus hacker and must have a lot of hardware devices.

And in such a short time, she must not have had time to transfer it, otherwise there would be no need to burn down the house at all.

There must be some important clues here, and Qi Ling would use such extreme means as arson to erase it.

Based on his previous investigations, Su Mo began to restore the three-dimensional structure of the villa in his mind.

Suddenly, he stared straight at the wall north of the master bedroom.

He noticed a strange thing in the three-dimensional structure of his mind.

The walls of the other rooms are of normal thickness, except for the north wall of this master bedroom.

And it's not ordinarily thick, it's thick enough to fit a room.

There's a darkroom inside! (End of chapter)
