At this moment, on the internet, a special piece of data had spread to all the devices.

Whether it was Windows, Apple, Linux, or even the Divine Dragon System, this special code was there.

This seemingly unremarkable, docile code slowly evolved while Li Chengqian was delivering his speech.

And automatically began to operate in all computer systems.

In the next moment, the code revealed his ferocious fangs.

This code exploded and killed the system's Guardian process. Then, it replaced it and obtained the highest level authority of the system.

Then, all the computing units of the computer were invoked by this code.

For ordinary computers, they became incredibly slow and could not function at all.

For servers, this was simply a disaster because it took up all the system resources and the server's service process had been turned off.

In an instant, the entire internet collapsed.

The domain name server, the most basic facility of the internet, was incapacitated.

After the domain name server was incapacitated, all the domain names of websites couldn't be resolved, thus they couldn't be accessed. However, if the IP address of a website was known, it could still be accessed via the IP address.

Right on the heels of that, the code continued to spread. All servers connected to the internet lost their serviceability because of this code.

This time, even the IP address access method didn't work.

Windows, Apple, Linux, and Linux variants of Android were controlled by this code.

"My God, what the hell is going on? It took me a day to write the article and I haven't saved it. Now it's all gone."

After Gao Hawen discovered the situation on the computer, his first reaction was that this was a virus. He unplugged the network cable without hesitation.

He was a computer enthusiast and was especially knowledgeable about software and hardware.

"Quick, shut down the computer and unplug the network cable. There is a cyber virus invading our computer."

Then, Gao Hawen carefully turned on the computer again.

"What is this?" When the computer was turned on again, Gao Hawen was dumbfounded because he realized that the files in the computer were still there, but none of them could be opened.

"0.01 bitcoin? That's 2,400 Divine Dragon dollars. F*ck you! It's ransomware again."

At this moment, Gao Hawen recalled that the last time the extortion virus wreaked havoc, several companies had launched special extermination tools.

"The extortion virus in the last attack was so powerful, and yet it was cleared. I don't believe that this virus can resist the antivirus software. I'll download the antivirus software's specialized antivirus tool and kill it."

"Damn, why can't I go online?" Gao Hawen was dumbfounded again because he realized that he couldn't go online at all.

Then, he tried everything. A newly set up computer was instantly infected with the virus and couldn't be used.

He wanted to download the special antivirus tool with his phone, but he realized a terrifying situation. His mobile phone couldn't go online!

Not only was he unable to go online with his mobile phone, but he also couldn't make calls or send messages. The documents stored in his phone were also locked like the ones on the computer. He couldn't open or check them. If he wanted to remove the lock, he had to pay a virtual currency ransom.
