Chapter 147: This Guy Actually Knows Hacking?!

~7 min read 1,235 words

Once these words were finished, Chu Chen's image vanished in an instant!

Every outdoor display screen on the buildings returned to its previous state at the very first moment, as if nothing had happened at all!

For a time, the entire street also fell silent at this moment.

But this situation did not last long.

In less than a second, the silent street once again erupted with shouts and screams, as if a heavy bomb had been detonated!

Various shouts and screams rose and fell, one wave higher than the next, lasting for a very, very long time.

At the same time, a huge uproar also broke out in the livestream room!

There were so many comments that they were completely impossible to read!

【I'm ready too!】

【Who the hell asked you?!】

【God Chu is really too bold, directly clashing head-on with the Pursuit Team, that's so damn awesome!】

【The Pursuit Team must be sweating bullets right now!】

【Haha!】

【Other contestants choose to take a detour when they see the Pursuit Team, yet he actually chooses to clash head-on!? It's as absurd as it gets...】

【A criminal openly shouting at the Pursuit Team... I wouldn't even dare to imagine such a thing, yet he dares to do it...】

At this moment, many viewers in the livestream room were discussing it heatedly.

The comments were also coming in one after another, unable to stop at all.

Because of this stunt by Chu Chen, the previously sluggish popularity of the livestream room returned to its peak in the blink of an eye, breaking through one billion in one fell swoop!

The speed was staggering!

As a veteran director with many years in the industry, such bizarre fluctuations in popularity caught Zhang Yiwen off guard, making him sigh incessantly in his heart about Chu Chen's power to draw traffic!

In today's internet era, there are many traffic-level celebrities.

But this was the first time he had seen someone like Chu Chen who could directly influence the popularity and ratings of a program!

Thinking of this, Zhang Yiwen immediately gave orders to all the broadcast directors, telling them to ensure Chu Chen's screen time as much as possible during this period, cut all the advertisements that should be cut, and absolutely not let the ratings drop because of one or two commercials!

At the same time!

Inside the Expert Group's Command Room!

"All experts please pay attention, No. 99 Contestant has begun committing a crime, please be prepared!"

Hearing this voice, Zhu Guowei and Lin Xu, who were in the Command Room, sat up straight with a jolt!

After exchanging a glance, Zhu Guowei immediately called Liu Xuemin and summoned the three of them back to the Command Room!

"What's the situation?"

After arriving, Liu Xuemin asked at the first opportunity.

"He has already started his fifth crime!" After letting out a long breath, Zhu Guowei replied with a serious expression.

Looking at him with a heavy gaze, Liu Xuemin and the others walked directly up to Lin Xu: "How is it, Lin, any leads?"

Hearing this, Lin Xu shook his head: "I checked the transportation hubs of many important cities in France and Italy, but didn't find anything unusual."

"What about Switzerland nearby?" Chen Zijin asked suddenly at this moment.

"I'm checking it now. Just a moment ago, I followed the line of the Alps and checked all the way to Bern and Zurich, but..."

Before Lin Xu could finish his sentence, his entire attention was drawn to the video footage from Satellite No. 1!

In the video, a giant black airship was constantly scattering large amounts of Swiss Enamel onto Bahnhofstrasse in Zurich, causing a massive riot!

"My God..."

Seeing this scene, Lin Xu was stunned on the spot, but he quickly came to his senses and beckoned the others over:

"Come and see, that guy seems to have appeared on the streets of Switzerland..."

Hearing this, the experts exchanged glances, then immediately crowded to his side and leaned over to look at the computer screen!

At this time, the riot caused by the rain of banknotes was still continuing!

On the street, people were grabbing the banknotes almost frantically.

With this as the center, the human tide of the entire city was rushing here without stopping, like a colony of ants heading toward food, a vast, dark mass!

The scene before them left all the experts dumbfounded!

However, just when they thought this was all about to come to an end, the appearance of Chu Chen's image left them stunned once again!

【... This bet is definitely worth it for you, I hope you don't miss out, I'm already ready, are you...】

In the video, the lingering echo of Chu Chen's words lasted for a long time before completely dissipating.

At this moment.

The entire Command Room instantly fell into a deathly silence!

After a long while, Lin Xu muttered in a daze:

"I really didn't expect this guy to know hacking techniques too..."

Lin Xu's words immediately attracted the gazes of the other four experts.

Following that, he continued to explain: "He must have hacked into the management systems of those buildings... If I'm not mistaken, that airship was likely remotely controlled by him as well."

"Could he be nearby?" Wang Ruomei asked.

"That's hard to say... because this is remote control, as long as he has an internet connection, he can achieve all of this from anywhere on this planet. This isn't very difficult technology, but..."

Halfway through his sentence, all the experts looked at him again.

At this time, Liu Xuemin asked: "But what?"

"Remote control isn't a complex hacking technique, but for one person to complete this, it's still a bit difficult..."

"So... you suspect there is a hacker team behind him helping him commit crimes?"

Lin Xu did not nod, but he did not deny it either: "At the very least, this possibility exists..."

"A team?" Hearing the two's conversation, Wang Ruomei questioned: "Right now, it has only been three days since his last crime; forming a team in such a short time isn't realistic, is it?"

Hearing this, Lin Xu continued:

"It doesn't necessarily have to be one he formed himself. There are many hacker teams on the Dark Web that do things for money. They only recognize money; as long as you pay enough, they will do anything. These hacker teams are generally lurking in countries with relatively poor public security, such as regions in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, South America, and so on. Last year, our Red Hacker Alliance had a clash with one of these illegal hacker teams. We each had our wins and losses, but after all, they are not a formal organization. In handling certain matters, they are more radical than us, and at the same time, it is easier for them to do certain things..."

Hearing Lin Xu's explanation, Wang Ruomei nodded and said: "So that's how it is..."

The next second, Liu Xuemin spoke up: "This lead is very critical. If we follow this line of investigation, we should have some unexpected gains."

"Mm, I will start the investigation immediately."

While Lin Xu was investigating the hacker lead, the other four experts were not idle either; they immediately held a video conference with the Pursuit Team far away in Europe to notify them of the news that Chu Chen had appeared in Zurich!
