Chapter 899: Chapter 355: Terrifying Bad Luck Points
...
At the same time.
Abroad.
A small city.
In a shabby office building.
"Boss, it’s been a day. Should we continue attacking this forum?"
A few young people were engrossed in their computers, continually pounding on the keyboards.
An assistant looked at a middle-aged man in a suit, about thirty years old.
They...
are a hacker team specialized in taking on dirty, laborious work from back home.
As long as someone pays them...
they can do anything.
Including hacking servers, infiltrating computer databases, stealing information, etc.
For instance, this time.
They were also commissioned by a boss from home to attack a forum.
This forum...
seems to be academic in nature, reportedly having a huge fan base.
The price offered by the boss...
was very tempting.
A cool three million.
What they need to do is continuously attack the forum so that it cannot function normally.
"The sponsor hasn’t told us to stop yet, and of course we stick to our professional ethics; take the money and do the job right."
The middle-aged man scolded sternly, "I’ve been mingling in the world for so long, relying on two words, integrity!"
The others heard these words.
and couldn’t help but show a look of shame.
But one person couldn’t help but say, "I’ve researched this forum a bit; it seems to be an academic forum focused on legal studies, isn’t attacking it a bit wrong?"
Attacking regular websites.
They had no qualms and could act freely.
But inside this forum...
it is said there is a ruthless person who has sent many defendants to trial.
The forum’s users are basically fans of that ruthless person.
"Second brother, you’re still too timid."
But the middle-aged man shook his head, full of disdain, and said, "It’s just an ordinary forum; even if it’s focused on law, so what? We’re abroad now, can they even reach us?"
When the sponsor approached him, he explained this forum in detail.
A grassroots forum.
With no background or influence whatsoever.
Completely manipulable.
What they need to do...
isn’t stealing user data, just maintaining the state of paralysis of the forum.
This isn’t hard.
There isn’t a strong technical team to fend off their attack.
When they invaded...
The opponent didn’t even put up decent resistance; the highest authority was easily obtained by them.
As for...
that legendary ruthless person, he wasn’t even concerning to him.
Their team is abroad.
No matter how formidable the opponent is, they can’t possibly do anything to them.
"Attack for a few more days, I’ll see what the sponsor says."
The middle-aged man thought about it and ordered again.
The three million offered by the sponsor is the price for a continuous three-day attack.
Of course.
If an "extension" is needed, he would naturally be all for it.
As for why the sponsor wants to attack this forum, that’s not within his scope of consideration.
"Oh no, I have a stomachache, someone please cover for me."
Suddenly.
A young man in their team was clutching his stomach, looking pained.
"Second brother, you cover for him, okay."
The middle-aged man frowned, assigning someone to cover for him.
The young man with the stomachache...
rushed to the bathroom as if escaping.
However...
in the frenzy, he accidentally tripped over the table leg, and his forehead slammed directly into the edge of the table.
"Bang!"
Because he was running so hard, his whole head was bleeding profusely, instantly losing consciousness.
He fell to the ground.
"Holy shit?!"
The people nearby widened their eyes at the scene.
Couldn’t help but let out cries of astonishment.
That hit just now...
even shook the whole table; imagine the force behind it.
"Quick! Take him to the hospital!"
The middle-aged man saw this and hurriedly instructed others to lift the unconscious young man.
Called the hospital emergency line.
Prepared to head to the hospital.
To him.
Every subordinate costs a fortune to train and is very valuable.
Must not fail.
"Woooooo——"
Before long.
The hospital ambulance arrived at the scene.
The medical staff saw the condition of the unconscious person on site and couldn’t help but be shocked.
Couldn’t help but ask, "How on earth did this happen?"
The middle-aged man’s lips twitched,
but he still said truthfully, "Had diarrhea, went to the bathroom, then hit the table edge."
Several hackers beside him hurriedly asked, "Doctor, how’s my friend, is his life in danger?"
The doctor chuckled wryly, shook his head, and said, "I’ve never seen someone hit so hard. This must be a concussion; whether there’s intracranial injury... requires further examination at the hospital."
He’s seen all sorts of emergency patients.
But never someone who got themselves so hurt, like practically hit themselves to death.
By the looks of it...
Even if he’s saved, there might be brain issues.
"We’ll need two attendants; who will go with us?"
Soon.
Medical staff carried the person onto the ambulance and looked at the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man thought for a moment.
Pointed to the second brother beside him, and said, "I’ll go with him."
There are a total of eight people in their team.
Now, one has already fallen.
As the boss.
He still had to show some concern.
"Let’s go."
The doctor nodded and got into the ambulance with the middle-aged man.
"Woo woo woo—"
The ambulance sounded the siren, speeding all the way towards the hospital.
"Beep beep beep—"
It’s just...
After driving only two kilometers, it encountered an oncoming large truck.
By sheer bad luck.
It headed straight for their ambulance.
The ambulance driver furiously turned the wheel at the critical moment, avoiding the large truck at the last second.
But the vehicle itself...
Also overturned because of the sharp turn.
The middle-aged man inside the compartment was violently thrown against the wall, breaking several ribs.
"An accident?"
He endured the excruciating pain and propped himself up.
Found out...
The second in command had already fainted due to the overturn.
Even the two medical staff inside the compartment were covered in blood, looking miserable.
The only one in a relatively better condition...
Was the accompanying doctor, who only had a few scrapes.
He crawled out of the compartment with difficulty.
Quickly took out his phone and dialed the hospital’s headquarters.
Crying for help: "Hello? Ambulance, quickly send an ambulance over, there’s been an accident at the xx intersection..."
On the other end of the line.
The operator was momentarily stunned, utterly puzzled: "Aren’t you the ambulance? Just bring them back along the way!"
"The one involved in the accident is our ambulance, all our medical staff are down..."
The doctor glanced at the chaotic scene and sighed.
This accident...
Came too unexpectedly.
They hadn’t even delivered the unconscious patient to the hospital, and many of their own were already down.
"What?"
The operator on the other end.
Was utterly shocked, not daring to delay, quickly arranging for another ambulance to hurry to the scene.
Twenty minutes later.
The second ambulance...
Finally succeeded in getting the three middle-aged men to the hospital.
...
A shabby office building.
"I have some unfortunate news, the boss just called, they had an accident on the way."
A hacker put down the phone and looked at the other four.
The other four, hearing this.
Were stunned for a moment.
They haven’t been out for long...
And there’s been an accident?
"Boss said to continue with the original plan, attack the forum, and wait for further instructions from him."
The hacker nodded and continued speaking.
Actually.
He was also taken aback when he received the call.
The boss on the other side of the line sounded weak.
As if he were dying.
"What’s going on? Someone almost killed themselves just going to the bathroom, and the boss takes someone to the hospital and almost sacrifices himself?"
"Probably just bad luck, let’s finish the task first, or the boss will yell at us when he gets back."
"I’ll go grab a drink of water first, then continue the attack."
"There aren’t any experts on that forum; I can bring it down for a year!"
"..."
The remaining few sighed a few times.
And then buried themselves back in work.
Though the boss and the others’ ordeal was ridiculous, they figured it was just bad luck.
Not worth giving another thought.
But...
In the following few hours, the remaining five hackers quickly sensed something was amiss.
One person drank water, suddenly choked on it, almost passed out.
Another, furiously typing at the computer, encountered a keyboard short circuit, getting shocked unconscious.
Someone went out to get takeout, unexpectedly met a thief, barely escaping.
Someone went to the bathroom, where a pipe burst, almost getting buried in crap...
In short.
After several rounds of mishaps.
The five had no desire to work, each sitting at their desk.
Staying away from all electronic components, sharp objects, snacks, drinks, etc.
Not daring to move.
"What do you think... what kind of sin have we committed? How did we suddenly become so unlucky?"
The five looked at each other, faces full of despair.
This wasn’t just regular bad luck.
But the kind you might die from drinking water.
"No way, once this is over, I’m going to the temple to burn some incense, offer Buddha some money."
"Sigh, I don’t even dare to eat anything now."
"Stay away from me, don’t come over, keep a safe distance!"
"By the way, are we still attacking the forum?"
"Attack my ass, we can’t even keep ourselves safe, I’m seriously suspecting our computers are leaking electricity, if you want to keep working, go ahead."
"..."
The five grumbled at a distance to each other.
Faces full of anger and grief.
The so-called "work"...
Had long been forgotten by them.
This series of unfortunate events...
Had refreshed their understanding of their own luck, now they didn’t dare to even step outside.
Life-threatening danger wasn’t a joke.
"It seems... nothing’s happening now?"
Ten minutes later.
The five exchanged glances, realizing nothing unlucky had happened during this time.
It seemed...
They had made it through.
