Ex-wife becomes the world's number one hacker

Han Yue looked at the gray avatar "SL" in the administrator list countless times, wishing the commander was there.

According to the veterans in the alliance, eight years ago, the Commander emerged out of nowhere and conquered all members of the R Alliance with an absolute advantage in his first battle. After that, he led the R Alliance to sweep across the entire global hacker community with an unstoppable momentum.

Every battle was reviewed, discussed, and talked about by hackers. As a result, "SL" once ranked first in the list of top hackers on the dark web, dominating the list for four years without ever falling off.

Regarding what "SL" means, a member once asked in the channel, but "he" never answered.

People were just guessing for fun when they had nothing better to do, and they came up with a lot of combinations: Prodigy, Deep Eyes, Commander, Stone Forest, and some even jokingly called him "Pervert".

In the end, everyone agreed that the Commander was the best choice because "he" was a well-deserved general, a majestic "king" who made the entire hacker community submit.

The commander always appeared and disappeared without a trace. When a major battle was about to break out, he would suddenly appear, quietly take over command, and then leave without a word, never lingering for long.

But for some reason, the commander suddenly disappeared four years ago and has never appeared since. In his place came a new administrator with the ID "Lone Wolf".

Although Lone Wolf is quite famous in the hacker world, his abilities are still a step behind Commander's, and his style is more conservative, unlike Commander's free-spirited and vengeful nature.

The battle has been going on for two days and two nights under Lone Wolf's command, but the situation is getting worse and worse, as it seems that the enemy has top-level official hackers involved.

Back then, everyone thought it would be just another routine brawl. When they received the rallying order, they were all laughing and joking, thinking the battle would be over in two hours at most. But now, they can no longer laugh.

Han Yue wiped his face; even in the dead of winter, his hands were sweaty.

He is a junior in college who joined the R Alliance in junior high school because of his love for programming. Although he has won many awards in competitions, he is just a nobody in the talent-rich R Alliance.

Even low-level henchmen have their uses; someone has to throw smoke bombs at the enemy, and everyone should contribute what they can. That's what Han Yue thought, and for five or six years, he worked diligently as a low-level henchman.

The situation is critical, and he, as a lowly henchman, is powerless to do anything but assist. He can only do some auxiliary work while praying that the commander will suddenly appear and save everyone from this predicament.

Han Yue dared not think about what would happen if they lost this battle. The destruction of emerging enterprises was a minor issue; the loss of national dignity would be a major one.

The channel then picked up another muffled groan from Lone Wolf after issuing the command. He seemed to be enduring some kind of pain, and his voice was hoarse even with the voice changer.

Han Yue's heart tightened even more. If Lone Wolf fell at this moment, then all would truly be lost.

With his eyes bloodshot and his hands moving non-stop, Han Yue prayed in his heart that the commander would come quickly and save his life!

Suddenly, a profile picture in the list flashed. Han Yue thought he was seeing things and rubbed his eyes hard.

Commander! The image that suddenly lit up was the Commander! The Commander is back!

Han Yue's tears welled up instantly. Before he could even announce it in the channel, a clear, calm male voice rang out:

"All personnel, listen to my command."

The sound wasn't loud, but it was like an icy torrent, instantly extinguishing all the noise. The channel was deathly silent for a second, then erupted in a frenzy!

"commander--"

"The Commander is back!"

"Is it true? The commander is back?"

"commander……"

Some people asked questions in trembling voices, while others choked up.

It was him! Han Yue was certain. Even with a voice changer and an increasingly cold voice, a person's speaking style and pronunciation would not change.

"Quiet."

The channel fell silent instantly. Han Yue sat up straight, poised and ready, awaiting the commander's next instructions.

"All squads, return to your positions." The clear, cold voice spoke crisply and decisively, issuing commands with surgical precision.

"Team A, abandon all fancy bait, concentrate your computing power, and build a mirror maze in the C and G IP clusters, so that they will be confused and question their existence."

"Squad B, cease your scattered counterattacks. Encapsulate the previously captured enemy attack characteristics into 'logic bombs,' disguised as fragments of our core data, and await my command to deliver them to the enemy's three main attack nodes."

"Team C, the data analysis group, will share a real-time dynamic key and re-encrypt all core channels."

"Squad D..."

That's him! This is typical of the commander's style, the kind of wide-open, aggressive style they are familiar with. They never play passively, but instead use extreme offensive strategies to defend.

I just don't know what he's been through all these years, his voice has become so cold, but his composure and calmness in the face of danger remain unchanged.

"Lone Wolf, come with me. You take care of the foundation and structure, and I'll build the walls."

"Hmm." Lone Wolf's voice, now stripped of command, came through the channel. Although it was just a single "hmm," Han Yue could hear a clear sense of relief in his voice.

Han Yue watched as the code on the screen refreshed like a waterfall. The red alert area that originally represented enemy invasion was now being steadily held back by a deep blue data stream that was constantly self-replicating and growing, and even began to erode in the opposite direction.

That blue was calm and profound, carrying a sense of oppressive power, like the return of a king.

The other side was no pushover either, relentlessly attacking the unclosed anchor points.

Han Yue discovered that while the commander was calmly directing the attack and defense, he was taking advantage of the gaps to gradually generate a set of characters that he couldn't understand, while Lone Wolf was helping him add bricks and tiles bit by bit.

The intense six-hour battle of attack and defense had ended. The channel quieted down, all the attacks disappeared, and a "wall" with a ghostly blue light stood in front of everyone on the screen.

Han Yue understood: the commander led the lone wolves to form an unbreakable "thorn wall"—any attempt to climb or attack this wall would trigger reverse tracing and code backlash.

The channel erupted in cheers; everyone was overjoyed.

"Victory!"

"These past few days of hard work have paid off—"

"The Commander is mighty! Long live the Commander!"

"Long live the Commander!"

"Long live!"

Amidst the cheers of the crowd, that unchanging, cool voice rang out once more:

"Quiet, this isn't over yet."

Everyone was stunned and fell silent.

"Everyone, provide support. Lone Wolf, lead the charge, follow the tracing route, and deliver a big gift to them—plant a flag!"

The channel erupted again, with the clatter of keyboards filling the air.

Han Yue was filled with patriotic fervor. This was the commander's unchanging style: those who offend our country, no matter how far away, shall be punished; those who dare to invade, we shall strike at their heart!

Success! (A dozen minutes later)

Han Yue could imagine the red R Alliance battle flags fluttering and jingling on tens of thousands of screens on the other side!

"Aaaaaah... I did it!"

"Ahhh..."

"......"

People who have experienced great ups and downs, great joy and sorrow these days are speechless, and can only express their excited emotions with simple shouts of "Ahhh!"

Amidst the clamor of the public chat, Han Yue precisely caught a whisper from the Commander and Lone Wolf during their private chat session, before they fully connected: "Well done!"

"Thank you... Commander." Lone Wolf replied in a hoarse voice, but Han Yue could clearly hear a sob in the last syllable.

Han Yue understood Lone Wolf's feelings all too well. Unlike himself, who was just a small fry, Lone Wolf, as the commander, had been under pressure that was probably beyond words these past few days.

The cool, clear voice rang out again on the channel, and everyone fell silent once more.

"Gentlemen, it's a pleasure to stand shoulder to shoulder with you again. Goodbye."

It was still the same commander! He left gracefully after the event, without taking a single cloud with him.

After this battle, the Commander will surely once again top the global hacker list!

This battle will surely become a classic and will be talked about on the dark web for a long time!

Han Yue slumped back in his chair, letting out a heavy sigh, his emotions still unsettled...
