Chapter 497 - Chapter 497: Chapter 309: Lightning War? (2/2)

She was already well-versed in this.

The “Kaspersky” network attack real-time monitoring map appeared in the stream.

A dark globe model slowly rotated.

Bands of different colored lights encircled it, representing the global hacker community’s outward attacks, thick as thieves.

The network was always active in unseen places.

Attacks and intrusions are commonplace for hackers.

Angelina’s focus was on the North America region, where numerous blinking dots representing servers continually emitted light rays, indicating ongoing outward network attacks.

These dots were very likely AW’s.

[Lena, by revealing the news that a mysterious force wants to annihilate AW so directly, AW is definitely going to retaliate.]

[Exactly, wouldn’t this negate the element of surprise?]

[In hacking battles, unless the technology is far superior, a stealthy and cunning approach is the prudent method.]

[Isn’t there anyone from AW here?]

[…]

Many in the streaming room voiced their doubts.

Angelina’s face lit up with a brilliant smile, her exquisitely perfect features like a sunlit sprite in a forest, now carrying a hint of confidence.

She spoke, “As far as I know, they don’t intend to ambush AW, but…”

Angelina paused for a moment.

The viewers in the streaming room all felt their hearts skip a beat.

“Declare war!”

Angelina’s voice was solemn and clear.

Every hacker in the streaming room heard her loud and clear.

Those present had a deep impression of AW and understood them very well.

AW was the definitive black-hat hacker overlord of North America, and all hackers in that region, even if not part of AW, were connected to AW, at least in terms of mutual interests.

Now, a mysterious force was appearing to declare war on AW?

[Is this because AW has been losing too much lately, and now someone wants to deliver a finishing blow?]

[Impossible! It won’t be easy to prove someone can overpower AW in a head-to-head confrontation!]

[Right, except for those few losses, I’ve hardly heard of AW’s defeats.]

[Things are getting more interesting!]

[It’s hard to imagine, if AW loses this time, what a huge embarrassment that would be?]

[Kind of like, being wiped off the map?]

[Nobody from AW here? Really no one to speak out?]

[…]

In Angelina’s streaming room, with a bit of technical skill, the stream quickly made its way to the homepages of major video streaming platforms worldwide, and the top headlines also hit the trending searches.

>North Bear hackers claim someone is initiating an annihilation war against AW!

>Lena

>Who is the mysterious force?

>AW

Various keywords and trending topics spread rapidly, both intentionally and unintentionally promoted.

The news of Lin Chuan launching an annihilation war against AW was like dropping a missile into a placid lake, instantly stirring up thousands of waves, one after the other, in a raging torrent.

AW, being network-savvy, was naturally the first to discover the news.
