The virtual transparent screen of the LIP lens-type information processor showed the total number of computer devices infected with the Nemesis virus.
Currently, there were already more than eight million computer devices infected with the Nemesis virus worldwide.
With so many computer devices infected with the Nemesis virus, the Nemesis virus had provided a wider channel for the spread of the virus.
Shi Lei had already predicted that in the following period of time, the number of computer devices infected with the Nemesis virus would be on the rise.
Now, Shi Lei only needed to wait quietly for the Nemesis virus to clean up most of the unrelated targets in the global internet. Then, he would collect the computing resources of the infected computer devices and conduct a large-scale analysis of the unknown targets.
Time passed by minute by minute. Shi Lei paid close attention to the data of the Nemesis virus infected computer devices.
Tao Wenxian and Raphael continued to carry out the needle in the haystack plan.
Although the needle in the haystack plan had been carried out for close to ten hours, the progress of scanning Lijian Province's internet was only about fifty percent.
This progress was simply too slow!
Even though the number of internet users in Lijian Province was the second highest in the world, the number of internet users in the world exceeded one and a half billion. The number of internet users in Lijian Province was only about ten percent of the world's internet users.
Based on the scanning situation in Lijian Province's internet world, Shi Lei could speculate that the computing resources of IWN's Secret Web could not be used at the speed of the global scanning.
This was because it would take about twenty hours to scan the entire internet world in Lijian Province.
Even if one ignored the differences in the internet environment in different regions, the difference in internet latency, and other unfavorable factors, it would take at least two hundred hours to scan the entire internet world just by relying on the computing resources of IWN's Secret Web.
Even if they sped up and rushed day and night, it would not be possible to reduce the time by much. Even if they reduced the time by ten percent, it would still take 180 hours!
What did it mean to finish scanning the entire internet world after 180 hours?
Lingyumo only had 120 hours left on her life timer. Mu Shuang had an extra 48 hours left on her life timer.
The 180 hours of scanning meant that Lingyumo and Mu Shuang would leave Shi Lei forever.
Even if Jian Wushuang and Raphael finally realized the plan of 'reconstruction' and could 'recreate' Lingyumo and Mu Shuang, would they still be them?
In order to avoid such a situation, Shi Lei decisively executed the Nemesis Plan!
9: 30!
The number of computers infected with the Nemesis virus had increased from 8 million to 20 million!
In just half an hour, the increase was even greater than the previous few hours!
Shi Lei didn't find it strange at all. The way the Nemesis virus spread, it was destined to have a blowout infection period.
Right now, it was only 20 million. Following this, there would be an even more explosive period.
Before the number of computers infected with the Nemesis virus reached a certain level, the more computers infected, the faster the Nemesis virus spread.
Ten o 'clock sharp!
In the second half an hour, the number of computers infected with the Nemesis virus had increased to 60 million!
The Nemesis virus wasn't a computer virus in the traditional sense. It wouldn't destroy the stability of the computer system, nor would it destroy the internal data of the computer system. It would only hide and quietly wait for orders.
This characteristic, in addition to its high degree of concealment, allowed the Nemesis virus to remain undiscovered after infecting 60 million computers.
If it were any other computer virus, it would have been discovered long ago!
However, accidents always happened when one wasn't paying attention!
Nanyue State.
Within the National Security Bureau, a bald, middle-aged man with glasses was browsing a local lifestyle website in Nanyue State. This bald, middle-aged man was the chief technician of Nanyue State's National Security Bureau. His name was Chen Guang, nicknamed Manager Chen.
In order to focus on hacking, he didn't get married even though he was already 47 years old.
Of course, Chen Guang's efforts weren't in vain. Chen Guang's skills had reached world-class.
To be more precise, he was at the peak of half-step!
Chen Guang was browsing a local lifestyle website in Nanyue State. Naturally, he was infected by the Nemesis virus.
While Chen Guang was browsing, the Nemesis virus tried to infect him.
If it was an ordinary computer user, they wouldn't be able to discover the Nemesis virus.
However, Chen Guang was different. He was a world-class hacker, and he was only half a step away from being at the peak of the world.
Furthermore, Chen Guang was using the internal security system of Nanyue State's National Security Bureau. When the Nemesis virus tried to infect Chen Guang's computer system, he discovered the Nemesis virus!
Chen Guang tried to stop the Nemesis virus from invading, but the virus's method of infection was too tricky. Even if Chen Guang manually blocked the ports of the computer system, the Nemesis virus still broke through the firewall and entered Chen Guang's computer system.
Chen Guang was shocked by this outcome.
The firewall in Chen Guang's computer system was developed by Chen Guang himself. Although it wasn't that strong, it could easily block the intrusion of a hacker of the same level.
However, it wouldn't be a problem for it to resist an invading virus!
However, the current situation was the exact opposite!
The firewall developed by Chen Guang couldn't stop the Nemesis virus from invading.
Not only that, the moment the Nemesis virus entered Chen Guang's computer system, it started to infiltrate the local network.
"Shit!" Chen Guang roared. "Jin Rui, quickly disconnect the physical connection to the local network!"
Jin Rui was Chen Guang's disciple. He was twenty-eight years old this year, and he was a world-class hacker. In the National Security Bureau of Nanyue State, his future was boundless.
Under Chen Guang's instructions, Jin Rui swiftly unplugged the network cable of Chen Guang's computer.
However, it was a pity that it was too late!
The Nemesis virus was a super virus meticulously written by Shi Lei. Its purpose was to infiltrate the computer system, determine the information in the system, and find the real IP address of Butler's server.
When Shi Lei first designed it, it was to deal with supercomputers and advanced artificial intelligence systems.
How could such a powerful super virus be stopped so easily?
If Jin Rui had unplugged the network cable at the beginning of the infection, he could have prevented the virus from spreading to the other computers in the local network.
However, Jin Rui's actions were too slow, and the Nemesis virus had already spread out!
Chen Guang had no idea that the Nemesis virus had already spread to the other computers in the local network. He was currently checking the situation on another computer.
Just a minute later, Chen Guang's face turned unsightly.
That was because Chen Guang had discovered the Vengeance Virus in another computer.
Unwilling to give up, Chen Guang checked the other three computers once more. However, the Nemesis virus was still present in them!
Smack! Chen Guang couldn't help slamming his hand on the desk.
"Master, what's going on?" Jin Rui carefully asked.
Chen Guang did not hide anything and replied, "A strange virus has infiltrated our system.
Furthermore, it has infected the entire system through the local network! "
"That's impossible, right?" Jin Rui was shocked.
"What kind of virus is this?"
"I have no idea, either. Let's analyse this virus together!" Chen Guang's face turned dark.
The two of them tried to analyse the Nemesis virus, but something unexpected happened. Although the Nemesis virus was present in the computer system, it was as if it didn't exist.
Even if Chen Guang was a world-class hacker who was only half a step away from reaching the pinnacle, he still couldn't discover where the Nemesis virus was hidden in the computer system.
Locking his brows together, Chen Guang replied, "Let's give up on the analysis for now.
Let's search the internet and see where the virus is! "
The two of them started to search together. As they searched, the results were even more shocking!
That was because the Nemesis virus was present in every website that they logged into!
Regardless of whether it was news websites, search engines, business websites, professional forums, or even the front page of internet security software, the Nemesis virus was present!
Such a result made Chen Guang feel terrified!
Chen Guang immediately reported his findings to the Nanyue State's National Security Bureau and requested the Nanyue State's National Security Bureau to immediately conduct an effective analysis and prevention of this virus.
At the same time, Chen Guang posted on the internet, pointing out the existence of the Nemesis virus and providing a method to investigate it.
Although they couldn't kill the Nemesis virus for the time being, they could check if the virus was present in the computer system!
Chen Guang had a lot of prestige in the Nanyue State's internet.
When Chen Guang's post was shared on the Nanyue State's internet, it caused a huge commotion among the Nanyue State's netizens.
Practically every user in the Nanyue State who saw Chen Guang's post downloaded the tool provided by Chen Guang to check if the Nemesis virus was present in their computer.
However, an ironic result appeared!
An anonymous hacker revealed that the tool provided by Chen Guang was infected by the Nemesis virus. Any user who downloaded the tool provided by Chen Guang would be infected by the Nemesis virus!
When Chen Guang received the news, his face turned ashen. He never expected that the Nemesis virus would infect the tool that he created.
However, Chen Guang couldn't do anything about the Nemesis virus at the moment.
He could only hold his breath and silently research how to deal with the Nemesis virus.
Within a short period of time, the Nemesis virus became a hot topic on the internet in the Nanyue State.
At the same time, this topic started to spread …
