The reborn policewoman's dog solves numerous major cases, shocking the nation.

Chapter 140 Distinguished Guest? The situation is dire; no matter who comes, it won't make a difference!

Deputy Director Wang was in extreme agony.

He could neither offend this "divine dog" nor allow it to cause trouble at the command center.

In the end, he gritted his teeth and made a compromise.

"Row!"

He uttered a single word heavily, his tone filled with exhaustion and resignation: "Bring it here! But! It can only stay in my office! Absolutely no entry into the command center! That's my bottom line!"

"Okay! Okay! Thank you, Lao Wang!" Qi Gaowei felt as if he had been granted a pardon.

……

East Union, Southwest Region, Cybersecurity Administration, Wartime Command Center.

After hanging up the phone, Deputy Director Wang wearily rubbed his temples, feeling as if his head was about to explode.

He turned around, preparing to return to his command position.

This place, once the southwestern stronghold of the national information Great Wall, has now become a hell on earth.

Inside the enormous circular command center, hundreds of screens displayed green waterfalls representing data streams and red codes representing attack commands, like two frantically tearing dragons locked in a relentless struggle.

"Warning! The second node of the 'Hive' defense system has fallen! The enemy's offensive is too fierce!"

"Requesting backup! Access to the C-zone database is being brute-forced! We don't have enough computing power! We can't hold on any longer!"

"The enemy has deployed a new attack module! It's 'Abyss'! It's 'Abyss,' the top hacking organization with ties to the US military! They've joined the fray!"

"Damn it! This is a premeditated coordinated attack!"

The piercing alarms and the anxious shouts of technicians rose and fell, the air thick with the smells of coffee, sweat, and an atmosphere of despair.

Everyone's eyes were bloodshot, their fingers flying across the keyboard, but the green light wall representing their defensive line on the screen was still being eroded by the red light, and was on the verge of collapse.

They were like a group of soldiers defending a lonely city, watching helplessly as the walls crumbled inch by inch.

"Wang Shu! Wang Shu!"

A young man wearing black-rimmed glasses, who looked to be only in his early twenties, was also the core of the entire command center's technology team, named Liu Yang, who staggered up to Deputy Director Wang, his face as pale as paper.

"Director Wang! It's no use! We really can't hold on any longer!"

He pointed to the already crumbling defense system topology diagram on the main screen, his voice trembling: "It's only been less than two hours since the main fiber optic cable was snapped and we switched to the backup channel! Our outer defenses have been completely breached!"

"Their attack methods are too bizarre! Their coordinated combat capabilities are too strong; it seems they know all the vulnerabilities in our backup network! Every time we patch a vulnerability, they can always break in from two other, more concealed locations immediately!"

"It's as if... all our defenses are completely useless against them!"

As Deputy Director Wang looked at the collapsing defense line on the screen, his heart sank to the bottom.

He knew there wasn't a mole among them.

This is absolute technological superiority!
In the field of top-level network attack and defense, the technical level of the East Alliance is already somewhat inferior to that of the US and the West Alliance.

This gap may not be obvious when both sides are using the highest level of defense networks, but once one side is forced to use a backup line with security that is more than one level lower, that gap will be magnified infinitely!

This is like a regular army wearing bulletproof vests and carrying automatic rifles fighting a group of militiamen who are only wearing vests and carrying pistols in urban warfare—it's a complete dimensional reduction attack!

This battle was doomed from the start.

He looked at his young men, who had fought for nearly two hours under extremely high intensity, and whose mental and physical strength were on the verge of collapse. He glanced at the countdown on the wall that represented the security level of the core database, and felt a chill run through him.

At most... I can hold on for another three hours.

Three hours later, the entire network in the southwest region will be completely compromised.

He took a deep breath, preparing to issue the order to "abandon the perimeter, shrink the defense line, and protect the core data at all costs," but he found Liu Yang looking at him with a strange expression.

"Director Wang... what... what were you doing just now? I saw you on the phone the whole time, and your expression was so... strange." Liu Yang couldn't help but ask, "Is there some new instruction from above? Or are reinforcements coming?"

Several technicians around also cast expectant glances their way.

They desperately need a glimmer of hope right now. Deputy Director Wang looked into their bloodshot eyes, opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Reinforcements?

A bitter smile, more painful than a grimace, appeared on his face.

“Yes…a distinguished guest is coming,” he said with difficulty.

"Dignified guest?"

Everyone was stunned.

"Huh? What distinguished guest? A leader?!"

Liu Yang was so anxious he stamped his feet: "What time is it?! It's a matter of life and death, Director Wang! What important guest could be more important than protecting the national database? Even if the Director-General himself came, he would have to step aside!"

“Yes, Director Wang! What we need now is technical support! Reinforcements! Not leaders who come to inspect!” another female technician said anxiously.

In their view, "distinguished guests" who arrive at this time are nothing more than a nuisance.

Looking at the misunderstanding and anxious eyes of the crowd, Deputy Director Wang sighed and finally spoke up.

He spoke slowly, in an almost dreamlike tone:
"The one who came... wasn't a leader."

"It's that dog."

"..."

"what?"

"what?"

The entire command center fell silent for a second.

Everyone thought they heard wrong.

Liu Yang picked at his ear, his face full of disbelief: "Director Wang, what did you say? What dog?"

Deputy Director Wang stared at the ceiling, seemingly having given up thinking, and repeated listlessly:

"That's the heroic dog that... predicted the earthquake and saved tens of thousands of people, 'Bu Chai'."

"..."

"..."

This time, the command center fell into a deathly silence that lasted for five seconds.

All the technicians seemed to be frozen in place, their mouths agape, their expressions shifting from astonishment to shock, and then to utter absurdity and... collapse!
"puff--"

A young man who was drinking coffee to stay awake sprayed a mouthful of coffee directly onto the screen in front of him.

Liu Yang felt like his CPU had completely burned out. He shook his head, pointed to his nose, and looked at Deputy Director Wang with the eyes of someone looking at an alien.

"Director Wang, you...you're not joking, are you?"

"We're fighting a cyber war to the death here, and you...you're going to go pick up a husky?"

"What's it doing here?! We don't even have dog food here!"

"I'm going crazy! I'm really going crazy!"

Another female technician clutched her head, letting out a desperate wail: "I know it's a hero! I'm so grateful to it! But... but what is it doing here?! It's causing trouble!"

At this moment, everyone's mentality completely collapsed.

Their respect and gratitude for not demolishing the house are genuine.

But their breakdown and despair at this moment are also real.

In their view, this decision by their superiors was even more perplexing and...despairing than a cyberattack by an enemy.

This isn't just adding fuel to the fire; it's like sprinkling a handful of inexplicable cumin on their wounds!
