But they have the advantage in numbers, somewhat akin to a DDOS network attack in reality.
Although individual damage isn’t high, the sheer volume can overwhelm an elephant, applying pressure on servers or hackers’ brains until they crash.
The Voodoo Gang hackers, initially bracing for a fierce battle, immediately invoked their firewalls upon seeing the overwhelming network attack.
Various Demonic Puppet attacks exploded magnificently like fireworks on the mirror firewall. As the Voodoo Gang hackers were perplexed by their seemingly weak opponents, a green-coded Demonic Puppet suddenly collided with their firewall but didn’t explode; instead, it merged into it.
However, the massive network attack distracted the hackers, preventing them from noticing this anomaly.
It was as unassuming as its initiator.
"Intruders, your doom has arrived!"
With a wave of his hand, Qatar cracked the firewall of "Mud Truck", exploiting a data vulnerability to crush the opponent’s data body. Fresh chapters posted on 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭·𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮·𝙣𝙚𝙩
The human-like entity then transformed into sparkle and vanished into the air.
These intruders are ridiculously weak, even weaker than trainee hackers, using highly repetitive Demonic Puppets that require almost no effort to eliminate one.
Only two of them had any real competence; the others were clearly cannon fodder.
However, just as he thought he had burned out the mind of the cannon fodder hacker in reality, blue light coalesced in the distance, and the Mud Truck he had killed in his hands revived.
Shaping a physical body in reality takes half an hour, but duplicating a data body is just copying and pasting the code, taking less than a minute.
The lower your intelligence, the simpler the data body, the shorter the revival time.
"Waaah! Taste my Grand Luck Attack!"
The Mud Truck, which was the first to die, felt it had lost face, and amid the atmosphere, it surprisingly conjured a large transport truck, charging at Qatar in mid-air without any ground support.
Seeing the revived Mud Truck, Qatar widened his eyes.
Didn’t he just kill this guy?
How did it suddenly come back to life?
Just as he was about to kill this guy again, he discovered his brain’s processing speed had dropped by one percent, and the memory was occupied, as if a new software had just been installed.
He hadn’t done anything.
While he was stupefied, the Mud Truck collided squarely with his body, sending him flying.
"What’s... what’s going on?"
Qatar stared in disbelief at his data body; why hadn’t his firewall worked just now?
Even his ICE counterattacks should have been able to kill the Mud Truck.
Qatar urgently pulled up the memory list and program manager, glaring at a green software icon in front of him.
It was clear this was the enemy hacker’s Demonic Puppet, which had bypassed his defenses and installed itself without his consent.
"When did this happen?"
And besides Qatar, the Voodoo Gang hackers had the same reaction.
"Why is it treating my firewall as a virus?"
"Damn, why is it so hard to delete!? It keeps downloading junk software! Damn, my memory is being squeezed!"
"Annoying ads, so many annoying ads!"
One hacker was terrified to find this thing not only squeezing his memory but also popping crazy ads and inexplicable websites, flooding his view and impossible to close.
And the mastermind behind uploading the Demonic Puppets.
The small Pandora was watching everything indifferently from afar.
The program was inspired by her and developed with Lucy’s assistance.
The program itself has no offensive capabilities, and even actively defends against Demonic Puppet attacks once uploaded to others’ local data.
The only flaw is that upon completing installation, it will identify the main software itself as a virus and launch an attack.
During this process, it continues installing junk software, occupying running memory, and is extremely difficult to delete.
Probably only the Antarctic monsters could rival it!
It seems there are no penguins in this world.
Meanwhile, another batch of players rushed into the Cyberspace battlefield.
The battle in Cyberspace is intense, and the same goes for reality.
Regardless of the underground feces sea offensive and defensive battle or the street skirmishes, players continued their extermination and capture of Brigitte’s Voodoo Gang members.
Gangs operating in the Taiping Continent immediately noticed the frequent street fights, and those loyal to Brigitte had long been targeted, with players systematically eliminating them based on Michelle’s list.
Abandoned beachfront park
Drug manufacturing plant
And some unfinished skyscrapers
These are all Voodoo Gang occupied strongholds, and their leaders are all Brigitte’s people, making it hard to say whether Michelle is using the players to purge dissent.
But Lin Miao and the players didn’t care; they just needed a reason to act.
The already chaotic Taiping Continent became much more lively.
Among them, the underground battlefield was the most crucial, where players were tasked not only with eliminating core hackers but also securing the server rooms to allow more players to enter Cyberspace for battle.
However, due to terrain issues, players couldn’t penetrate the narrow tunnels, and the hackers and Voodoo Gang members previously defending the perimeter retreated into the tunnels for a firm hold, having suffered from Stealth Department players’ sneak attacks.
Yet, the players had long prepared plans for this turtle-like defensive strategy.
