"Hello, ladies and gentlemen of America."

"My name is god, the god of the Internet."

In the Pedestrian 5000 audio connected to Edward's computer, a neutral voice that was completely synthesized by electronics suddenly came out. Although the voice could not distinguish between men and women, it had a timbre that people could not forget when they heard it.

He can also see that the screen is constantly flashing blood red, and from time to time a drop of 'blood' drips from the top of the screen, and in the center of the screen, a line of universal numbers is displayed in front of him, which is written in white fonts. A row of Arabic numerals marked:

24:00.

These Arabic numerals kept flashing without any change, but this change alone made Edward open his mouth wide in surprise.

At this moment, the first reaction in his brain was: Hacker!

Yes, no doubt hackers!

Only hackers can hack into other people's computers, use superb technology to change other people's programs, and play others in the palm of their hands. Now, has your own computer been hacked?

Wait, he seems to be saying, 'Ladies and gentlemen of America,' that is, wasn't it just me who was breached?

Although the appearance is sloppy, Edward, who has been playing video games all year round, sensed the inappropriateness of the text in an instant. He turned his head and looked out the window, only to see that the street was still undisturbed, and the cars were beeping, and he didn't listen. Any exclamations to the next door,

Did you really think too much?

Edward frowned, just about to turn off the computer, but a new voice came out of the speaker, "Twenty-four hours from now, thirteen million-ton nuclear bombs will be dropped on major cities in the United States. , please U.S. citizens to prepare as much as possible for protection.”

What?

Edward's right hand shook, and his body that was about to bend over froze in mid-air. What was this guy talking about just now? Is he saying that in a day there will be thirteen nuclear bombs blooming in America?

Are you joking?

Although Edward is a standard American nerd, he still has some understanding of the nuclear bomb, and his understanding comes from the Internet - as far as he knows,

There are only a few countries that have nuclear bombs, and the United States itself is among them. The nuclear bombs built by these countries have two states: 'ready' and 'in service'. In the 'ready' state, the warhead of the nuclear bomb is separated from the missile and has no strike capability. The nuclear warheads installed on the missiles can be launched at any time with only a password and a few instructions.

However, these instructions are by no means so simple. One of them is in the hands of the president, the other is in the hands of the person in charge of the nuclear bomb base where the nuclear bomb is located, and he forgot where the other is. In short, the number of nuclear bombs in the world exceeds 20,000, but those Nuclear warheads in 'service' state, without the orders of the president and Congress, will not move a finger at all, and other countries can be imagined.

Getting a nuclear bomb is harder than going to the sky.

What's more, the existence of the nuclear bundling strategy makes no country dare to act rashly. This is a very terrifying national strategy, because when a country is attacked, it is not actively resisting or asking for assistance, but will instead send the world to the world. All the nuclear-armed countries in China are indiscriminately dragged into the quagmire of war.

The system formed by this nuclear bundling policy is called the "Dead Hand System". It is an automated nuclear counterattack system built by the nuclear powers. That is, even if the head command agency is eliminated, it can still automatically strike the pre-set targets. That is to say, once the country's top authority and command system are eliminated or paralyzed by a nuclear attack, the "Dead Hand System" will automatically issue nuclear codes and nuclear strike commands.

Linked to hundreds of intercontinental missiles, the system can automatically assign targets. This system will not distinguish whether the target of the attack is the target of the attack, but only according to the predetermined program.

What the U.S. government is most worried about is not the outbreak of a nuclear war, but its inability to ensure that the other side is doomed when a nuclear war breaks out. Conversely, if the adversary can be convinced that it is still capable of fighting back after a nuclear saturation attack, a full-scale nuclear war will not break out.

In short, the existence of the dead hand system has put all the nuclear powers in a situation where no one dares to start the war lightly and live in peace.

But at this time, the person who broke his own computer, but said that there will be a nuclear bomb to attack the United States in a day? Edward just thought it was too absurd, but the voice continued, "The targets of this nuclear bomb attack are: New York, Washington, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, Philadelphia, Detroit, San Francisco..."

Following the names reported by the other party on the computer, Edward only felt a little chill on his back. These cities are either the most developed industrial cities in the United States, or the most developed commercial cities. Add up to each other, and the population involved is It has exceeded 40 million! This is already more than one-tenth of the population of the entire United States. If all this is true, then the economic and industrial level of the United States will be regressed for at least several decades under a blow!

However, after all, this is just a botched prank to create panic.

"I, God will carry out nuclear strikes on these cities. In order to reduce the casualties of innocent people, the residents of the above cities please leave the cities whose names are named immediately, otherwise the consequences will be at your own risk."

Edward shook his head, decisively pressed the power button, and was about to restart the computer to enter safe mode, but the moment he pressed the power button, he seemed to see the '24:00' number on the screen suddenly jumped to '23' :59'...

does exactly the same...

Edward shook his head, the computer had been restarted at this time, and he kept pressing F8, preparing to repair his computer from safe mode.

In safe mode, Edward checked his computer, but after ten minutes, he had to admit that this new type of virus did have merit, at least his Kaspersky did not find any to kill virus.

As the computer restarted again, the screen at this time has completely restored the interface appearance of dows, and the previous virus situation disappeared like an illusion.

Edward pouted, and clicked the lol icon again in disappointment. Just as he was about to re-rank, a melodious bell interrupted him.

Edward's eyes suddenly lit up when he saw the caller - Jenny, that was the dream lover in his class. He quickly answered the phone with a speed that was not inferior to lol, and coughed twice, trying to let him My own voice is more charming.

"Hello, classmate Jenny? Is something wrong?"

"Student Edward," the voice on the phone was slender and sweet, like a sweet wind chime, "I'm sorry to disturb you, but can you come to my apartment? My computer has a virus."

"Have a virus?" Edward frowned. Coincidentally, his computer was also infected with a virus just now.

"Yes, a prank suddenly appeared on my computer. Someone said that a nuclear bomb will be dropped on the United States. Now I'm a little scared, Edward, can you hurry up?"

"Hello... Edward? Edward?" (To be continued.)
