Chapter 177 Messenger

Things are bad, but, there is still a chance.

AIM slowly exhaled a breath, calmed down, and ended the technique released on his hand.

The next second, the New York brain-eating worm citizens in front of them suddenly came back to their senses and looked at AIM in front of them with some confusion.

Other pedestrians not far away suddenly realized that a group of people had gathered here for no reason, and cast curious and doubtful glances.

Ignoring the strange looks around him, AIM lightly tapped the ground with his feet. His body was like a light feather, flying up and suspended in the air.

Buzz——

The invisible force spreads outward with him as the center,

The outer windows of high-rise buildings around Times Square all cracked extremely suddenly, splattering countless glass residues.

Citizens passing by the brain-eating insects screamed and fled, but some of them were hit by glass falling from the sky and fell to the roadside in a bloody state.

The car that was hit by glass shards erupted with sharp alarms one after another.

AIM didn't care about this. He ignored the frightened screams in his ears and the panicked glances directed at him. He closed his eyes and silently released his power.

His power system is unique within the entire FBI and even throughout the Americas.

Its name is, [Electronic Ghost]

This power system allows his will to travel at will using electromagnetic waves as a carrier.

Electromagnetic waves are oscillating particle waves derived and emitted in space by electric fields and magnetic fields that are in phase and perpendicular to each other. They are electromagnetic fields that propagate in the form of waves and do not propagate through media.

When the electronic ghost state is turned on, AIM feels as if it has transcended the human body.

The wires are his blood vessels, and the electric waves are his brain nerves.

Personal computers and servers are his neurons,

The all-pervasive personal cell phone and surveillance cameras are his eyes...

Snap, snap, snap.

Electric sparks burst out from the street lights intermittently,

In the Manhattan Stock Exchange, countless traders stood up from their seats and stared dumbly at the trading floor where the lights flashed at high speed.

In a small single room, the manager, who was holding a landline phone and flattering his big clients, suddenly discovered that the phone was out of order and was making constant noises. He was about to stand up and curse, but through the one-way transparent floor-to-ceiling windows, he was shocked to find that the entire exchange had Shut down, all personal computers and even big screens went black.

"This this..."

The manager felt that blood was rushing from his body to his brain. Nasdaq was the financial heart of the United States and even the world. Even a momentary shutdown would lead to extremely disastrous consequences.

There was a major blackout in New York City in the 1970s - a thunderbolt first struck a substation south of Buchanan, tripping the main transformer, and then struck a 345kv transmission line like a scalpel. lines and substations in Yonkers County, eventually plunging all of New York into darkness and triggering large-scale vandalism and looting.

At that time, the brain-eating insect population was still among the mammoth corpses in Siberia. However, as the brain-eating insect completely replaced humans, they also absorbed the memory and wealth of human civilization.

Know how to provide independent and uninterrupted power generation units for important companies and institutions that cannot be shut down.

The sky was clear at this time, so how could there be a sudden power outage?

Just when everyone is panicked and at a loss,

The chaotic current suddenly calmed down.

In mid-air, AIM slowly opened his eyes.

I've seen everything.

The [Electronic Ghost] form he opened not only instantly took away control of all civilian networks in Manhattan, but also eroded and occupied those internal networks that were physically designed to be insulated from the outside world through pervasive radio waves.

For example, the New York Municipal Management Network, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, the intranets of major banks in New York, New York law enforcement departments (including but not limited to state police, prison guards, prosecutors, FBI), Wall Street, United Nations Headquarters...

At this moment, as long as he thinks,

He can make countless subway cars collide with each other,

Bank deposits can be cleared instantly.

It can make the stock market stop or skyrocket.

It can make all planes dizzy and plunge into the sea.

You can open all the prison doors and watch the fight between prison guards and prisoners through the surveillance cameras.

He can turn a worthless homeless man on the street into a billionaire in an instant.

It can make a fat-bellied rich man who owns countless companies lose everything in an instant.

He can sneak into everyone's mobile phone, snoop into their lives and privacy, know their love and hate accurately, and even discover obscure secrets that they themselves don't know.

Marriage, love, promotion, finance, over-medication, exams, hit-and-run accidents, silent driving, smuggling contraband, secretly taking photos of classmates, disseminating pirated media files, community volunteering, parents' divorce...

Countless periods of life, through computers and mobile phones, are spread out in front of AIM like books.

AIM's handsome facial features and muscles rippled slightly.

[Electronic Ghost] is so powerful that even the FBI, where he has served for more than ten years, does not dare to believe him and only dares to let him use it in scripted missions or in the virtual world.

This is the first time that he has fully unleashed his abilities in a simulated environment so close to the real world.

not enough.

AIM once again took a deep breath, using Manhattan as a springboard, spreading to New York City, New York State, the East Coast of the United States, and even the United States.

If there is any software that can accurately depict network signal diagrams across the United States,

Then you can clearly see such a scene on that map - countless golden threads, starting from the east coast of the United States, spreading towards the west, like bacteria in a petri dish.

Those golden threads attacked cities and territories along the way, taking away control of data centers one after another.

Brutally and fiercely, it crossed the entire central part of the country and reached the west coast, dyeing the entire United States into a bright golden color.

"lay down your weapon!"

Shouts mixed with panic came from below.

AIM lowered his head indifferently and saw four police cars parked at the intersection below the street.

A dozen police officers wearing NCPD uniforms were hiding behind the car door, holding up their pistols in a standard posture and pointing at the AIM suspended in mid-air.

Seeing the suspect looking down, a young and immature NCPD police officer shouted in a panic: "Suspect, please put down your weapon immediately! Don't move!"

lay down your weapon? Do I have any deadly firearms in my hand?

Not allowed to move? Shouldn't you let me come down from the air immediately?

AIM blinked. In the [Electronic Ghost] state, his thinking speed was unprecedentedly fast. Although he was limited by his human body and limited spiritual power,

It is impossible to use all computers and data processing centers for your own use and command them like an arm.

But the network conditions in Manhattan alone are enough for him to focus on a thousand things and divide his mind into thousands of ways to quickly think about all the problems he faces.

There is no need to pay attention to the insects on the ground, even if several explosion-proof vehicles full of armed personnel are driven out from key institutions such as Nasdaq.

The technological level of this world is not much different from the real world before the advent of the Killing Fields game. The ordinary insect man cannot even break the invisible barrier around him with only conventional weapons.

Now, it's time to make your presence known to mortals.

He gently flicked his right little finger, and out of a thousand spiritual thoughts, fifty immediately took out thousands of computer viruses from the database in his mind and put them on the international network.

Tens of seconds later, the hacker talents hired by various intelligence and security departments across the United States all stared at the screen on their personal computers in stunned silence.

Something they couldn't understand happened. The newly emerged computer virus, with its unheard-of aggressiveness and ability to spread, almost immediately spread to the World Wide Web, affecting key nodes of the global network thousands of miles away.

The computer viruses released by AIM are far ahead of this era. Although the power of [Electronic Ghost] is limited by itself and cannot spread too far, it is limited to the entire east coast of the United States and a small part of the west coast of the United States.

But this is enough for him to use the two places as a springboard to remotely intervene in the network conditions of East Asia, Central Asia, Europe and other places.

Hello World.

The corner of AIM's mouth raised slightly, and he flicked his left index finger. The next moment,

A blue human face, shaped by artificial intelligence and theoretically highly relatable, appears on hundreds of millions of electronic screens around the world.

"Hello, brain-eating insect civilization."

The blue man's face opened his mouth and uttered a gentle and soft voice, which spread across the world, "Citizens of the world, from now on, please do not panic or hesitate.

Workers working in the factory, please shut down the machinery and leave the factory in accordance with the rules and regulations;

Railway train drivers, please stop the vehicles you are driving;

Civil aviation pilots, please go to the nearest airport to land immediately - don't worry about losing control of the plane or the airport is blocked, just follow the voice telling you in the earphones.

Workers, white-collar workers, students, farmers, please end your production work now, stay in the building where you are, don't panic, don't run, don't fight.

Do as I do and no one will get hurt. "

The blue face paused for a few seconds, seemingly waiting for the civilians around the world to quiet down.

AIM itself, on the other hand, sent out a hundred spiritual thoughts to control the presidential encrypted channel in the White House in Washington.

The next moment, a video conference image automatically appeared on the large-screen TV on the wall of the President's Office - the images of the heads of the ten countries were divided into ten frames and arranged on the TV screen.

Some of them didn't even know they were being filmed - AIM's mind invaded the surveillance cameras in the offices where they were located, and made sounds through the personal cell phones carried by the security personnel, prompting them to look at the nearest TV screen.

Driven by the will of AIM, such a high-profile but extremely hasty and irregular global summit was held at short notice.

"I'm sorry to meet you all under these circumstances."

Without giving any time to breathe, a pale blue face appeared above the video conference, with a calm voice and a gentle expression.

If the scene were changed, it would definitely be suitable for major automobile companies to use as a short film promoter to introduce the driving system of new cars.

AIM's face remained silent for a few seconds, and no one asked him about his purpose or the purpose of his visit.

The expressions on the faces of all the leaders looked dignified and serious - they had already realized the serious situation through the reports of their subordinates.

"Okay, I am AIM. I believe you all know that I control 3,051 active nuclear warheads across the United States, including 1,210 strategic nuclear warheads, 951 non-strategic nuclear warheads, and 890 spare nuclear warheads.

These nuclear warheads come from the United States' "Trinity" and force plans, including but not limited to the land-based Minuteman 3 intercontinental ballistic missile, the 14 sea-based Ohio-class strategic nuclear submarines, and the air-based B-52H and B-2A strategic bombers.

And this value is still increasing as my control over the US network deepens.

Thanks to the United States for its years of construction of American military bases in various countries around the world, as well as its investment in aircraft carrier formations and submarine formations,

At this moment, as long as I am willing, I can use various platforms to put nuclear warheads into every corner of the world.

Moscow, Tokyo, Mumbai, London, Paris, oh, yes, New York and Washington...

It is true that the missile interception systems in the hands of various countries are still beyond my control.

But I can fire a full 3051 rounds of bullets, and the defending countries only need to fire one or two rounds in key cities, which will cause a large-scale collapse of social order. "

"You've now caused widespread collapse."

A white-skinned leader said with a tight face: "Sir, who are you? What do you want from us?"

If, thirty minutes earlier, someone had spoken of an imminent nuclear apocalypse initiated by aliens, the leaders in the video conference would have regarded him or her as a lunatic.

But now they have no choice but to disbelieve - the confidential intranets in areas such as Moscow, Paris and Tokyo are being attacked by viruses, and the security networks of some key military facilities are gradually being lost.

This is definitely not something that terrorists, or even the United States, can do.

It can only be explained as... a force beyond comprehension.

"I?"

AIM's face frowned for a second, then smiled again: "You can understand me as a prophet who protects the world, a messenger who issues warnings, and a protector of civilization."

"protector?"

A leader pursed his lips and said nothing.

However, AIM seemed to see what he was thinking, and said directly: "Are you doubting that my stealing nuclear warheads will trigger the nuclear apocalypse?

Haha, you thought wrong, the real doomsday is on the way.

Compared to him, I am just an insignificant prelude. "

The screen flashed, and a scene of a modern city immediately appeared on the screen.

It was an extremely prosperous coastal city. The average height of the tall buildings in the city was more than 500 meters, and several of them were even as high as more than 800 meters.

Moreover, an extremely majestic steel city wall still stands on the coast of the city. The city wall is full of unheard-of heavy firepower weapons, and walking humanoid upright mechas with a technological level far higher than modern ones.

The whole city seemed like a military camp.

Definitely not any modern city in this world,

However, what shocked the leaders present even more was that the city was attacked.

Crazy growing white mycelium grows continuously from the ground, from rivers, and from buildings, driving away civilians who are fleeing in panic.

Directly submerge all obstacles in its path.

Street lights, vehicles, street signs...

The sea of ​​white mycelium overflowed the entire city. Some mechas brought heavy machine guns and burners in an attempt to block the sea of ​​white mycelium, but in vain.

Not even defoliants in skull-patterned bottles or napalm dropped by bombers could slow down the white mycelium.

The whole city was covered with a thick layer of white velvet coat.

The white mycelium was still not satisfied, and created towers of mycelium, constantly emitting dandelion-like mycelial spores, which continued to spread to the land, sky, and ocean.

At the end of the video, there is a picture of white mycelium growing in major cities around the world, and in the center of the picture, Li Ang is wearing a white coat.

“In addition to this segment, there is another segment of Titan that was not shown.

As you can see,"

AIM's voice sounded at the right time, "I am not the end of you, he is."
