"I don't know. I'm just guessing that the military academy is probably going to be attacked by the enemy." Ling Lan replied as she walked. Very soon, they had reached Luo Lang's room. Without even thinking, Ling Lan kicked out savagely once more, but when Ling Lan kicked the door open, she found that the room was empty.
Right then, someone suddenly lunged out from the side, striking out fiercely at Ling Lan's face. Ling Lan calmly raised her right hand, and her palm caught the attacker's vicious fist.
"Boss, it's you!" Luo Lang saw that the one who had caught his fist was Boss Ling Lan, and instantly breathed a sigh of relief, crying out happily. It turned out that the commotion on Zilong's side had startled the soundly asleep Luo Lang. He had sensed that something was wrong, so he had quickly put on his clothes and hid behind the wall beside the door. The moment the door had been kicked open, he had rushed out to throw a punch at the intruder.
Ling Lan let go of Luo Lang's fist, and tossed him a cold gaze, saying, "Luo Lang, keep up!"
Luo Lang pulled back his hand. Seeing the grim expression on Ling Lan's face, he knew that something had happened. He followed his boss silently, but secretly poked Zilong beside him. Zilong turned his head and mouthed silently, "Enemy attack!"
Luo Lang's gaze turned cold. For his boss to be so cautious, it was clear that this enemy attack was anything but ordinary. Just like Ling Lan, he had also thought of the incident at the Swift Dragon base, and could not help but wonder if it was because of that incident that they had been discovered?
However, seeing his boss's icy expression, Luo Lang did not dare to ask. Walking up to the second floor, Ling Lan gestured at Zilong and Luo Lang, indicating for the three of them to split up and wake up Han Jijun, Lin Zhong-qing, and Xie Yi respectively.
Soon, everyone was woken up. They put on their uniforms and gathered in the living room downstairs. Looking at Ling Lan, who was sitting on the sofa in deep thought, Xie Yi and Lin Zhong-qing subconsciously looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes. They had only been woken up by Luo Lang and Zilong and hadn't been told what had happened.
Han Jijun walked down with a pensive look on his face. He walked in front of Ling Lan and waited for his boss to give him a definite answer.
"Currently, we have lost contact with all the satellites on the ground and above the planet. It has already been five minutes." Ling Lan swept her gaze over everyone and then told them the actual situation.
Ling Lan's words shocked everyone, especially Han Jijun and Luo Lang. Familiar with the importance of intelligence, they knew what this meant.
"Enemy attack!" Han Jijun said decisively. Hearing this, Luo Lang nodded heavily. His guess was the same as Han Jijun's. Compared to Ling Lan's uncertain guess, Han Jijun and Luo Lang were obviously much more certain.
"My guess is the same as well. And the attack is coming from outer space." Ling Lan reflexively glanced at the night sky outside the window. Wasn't the pitch-black night the best time for an air raid?
Ling Lan's words made everyone's expressions change. If it was really as their boss had said, then their First Men's Military Academy was in danger. Xie Yi found it even harder to hold back her anxiety. She blurted out, "Boss, then what should we do?"
"I have already taken control of the ground radar, as well as all the aerial surveillance equipment in the academy. The moment we discover anything, we will sound the attack alarm for the entire academy." Ling Lan told her plans to her companions.
"Why don't we sound the alarm now? That will give the ground forces more time to prepare, "asked Han Jijun, puzzled.
"Unfortunately, there are no anomalies detected on the radar and surveillance equipment. Without any evidence, they will immediately suspect that the academy mainframe has been attacked. Then, they will very likely pursue this matter with all their might. This will not make up for the losses, benefiting the enemy instead." Ling Lan voiced her concerns.
If the ground forces focused their attention on the academy because of this, Ling Lan would definitely regret it to death. Originally, she had wanted to disrupt the enemy's ambush, but instead, she had created a better opportunity for the enemy to launch a sneak attack. Ling Lan would not do something so stupid...
"But losing contact with the satellite is a fact. As long as they notice this, they will be alerted." Han Jijun did not understand why his boss would have such concerns. In his opinion, this matter was very simple. As long as the ground forces knew that they had lost contact with the satellite for several minutes, they would definitely think of an air raid.
Hearing Han Jijun's words, a wry smile appeared on Ling Lan's lips. "What if, the equipment connected to the satellite on the ground shows that everything is normal?" Only a terrifying existence like Little Four could personally experience the reality of losing contact with the satellite. Meanwhile, all the equipment connected to the satellite on the ground now showed that everything was normal. Even a top-class hacker would not be able to detect any problems. This was also one of the reasons why Ling Lan was forced to wait for the truth to happen.
Ling Lan's words finally caused the calm Han Jijun's expression to change drastically. "Boss, you mean to say that the equipment on the ground did not indicate that we had lost contact at all? But in reality, we have already lost contact with the satellite? "
Ling Lan nodded and said, "Yes, a hacker who hasn't reached a certain level will not be able to discover this problem." If not for the fact that Little Four liked to roam around the world, he might also have overlooked this point …
Han Jijun's entire face turned serious. "Who would have thought that the enemy would be so generous? It's said that only an imperial hacker or above can accomplish such a feat … Although our military academy has nurtured many hackers, we have never nurtured an imperial hacker. Even in the entire Federation, the number of imperial hackers can be counted on one hand. It can be predicted that the ground forces will definitely not notice that the satellite has been tampered with."
Tampered with? Han Jijun's words made Ling Lan's mind jolt. An idea suddenly appeared in her mind, and the originally passive situation of waiting was resolved. Ling Lan excitedly called out to Little Four and said, "Little Four, can you create an image that mimics the satellite's transmission?"
Ling Lan's question made Little Four roll his eyes. He pouted and said sulkily, "Boss, you're underestimating me too much. This kind of thing, I can do it even with my eyes closed." Did she really need to ask him about such a simple thing? When would his boss have some confidence in him?
"That's good …" Ling Lan was overjoyed at Little Four's words. She began to instruct Little Four on what to do. As Ling Lan delved deeper and deeper, Little Four's eyes grew brighter and brighter. In the end, he even patted his chest and told Ling Lan that it was all up to him.
After accepting Ling Lan's arrangements, Little Four disappeared. Ling Lan felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted off her shoulders, her mood instantly lightening considerably. She thought for a moment, and then said to Lin Zhong-qing, "Contact Li Lanfeng, Li Shiyu, and Chang Xinyuan immediately. Have them gather here immediately."
Then, she instructed the others, "You all, contact all the team leaders of the New Cadet Regiment immediately. Tell them this news!" At this point, Ling Lan suddenly stood up from the sofa and walked to the window to look up at the endless night sky. After several seconds of silence, she said coldly, "Have them gather all their team members and stand by. Prepare for battle!"
"Yes, Boss!" Everyone sprang into action. About five minutes later, the initially silent academy suddenly rang out with the ear-piercing sound of an enemy attack alarm.
When Ling Lan heard the alarm tear through the night sky, the corners of her lips could not help but curve slightly. If the enemy really thought they could take down the entire military academy, then they should try it out …
The group of seated Zilong heard the alarm and jumped up to ask, "Boss, have you found any signs of the enemy?"
Ling Lan sat calmly on the sofa, shaking her head and saying, "No!"
"Then this alarm …" Zilong was confused. They had all heard the conversation between Boss and Han Jijun. Boss had clearly said that the alarm would only sound if there were signs of the enemy.
"I was indeed the one who sounded it," replied Ling Lan calmly.
"Didn't you say that the ground forces would not believe it if there was no evidence?" asked Han Jijun in confusion from one side, not understanding why his boss had suddenly changed his mind.
"If they can tamper with it, so can we." A trace of coldness appeared on Ling Lan's lips.
Ling Lan's reply made everyone's eyes light up. Everyone understood the meaning behind Ling Lan's words. Indeed, since the enemy could make the satellites show that everything was normal, then they could also make the satellites show that there was a problem … However, most people were trapped in a fixed mindset, believing that attacking methods could only be used on the enemy. Sometimes, for the sake of the bigger picture, they could also tamper with themselves.
Han Jijun looked deeply at the calm Boss Lan before him, and his heart was filled with admiration. While they were still stuck in a fixed mindset, Boss Lan had already completely opened up his mind. His actions no longer had any fixed pattern — whether it was good or bad, he could make use of everything as long as the final result was beneficial to his side.
Additionally, Han Jijun had always thought that Boss Lan was just a top-class hacker, but now it looked like he had already reached the level of an imperial hacker … as expected of their boss. Even in other fields, he was still unfathomable.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack! Order all ground forces to enter combat mode. All anti-air cannon fodder on the ground, aim towards the sky and prepare to attack …" The commanding officer of the ground forces received the images transmitted from the satellites and instantly broke out in cold sweat. He immediately ordered his troops to move. The sudden appearance of countless starships in the images, as well as the egg-shaped metal pouring out of the starships, all proved that this was going to be a terrifying aerial attack. Luckily, the satellite had transmitted the images in time, otherwise they would have been in deep trouble.
"Reporting, sir. The radar has not detected any unidentified flying objects in the sky. Everything is normal." Very soon, the latest news came from the various radar monitoring stations on the ground. They had not detected any problems in the sky. This situation puzzled the commanding officer deeply. What was going on? Why was the image captured by the satellites, but the ground radars did not detect anything? Where exactly was the problem?
"Sir, do you still remember the secret report from the military six years ago about the enemy attack on planet Demonbeast?" The adjutant beside him was equally puzzled by this situation, but his eyes suddenly lit up as if he had thought of something. He immediately reminded the commanding officer.
The commanding officer snapped out of his daze and hurriedly ordered the staff officer beside him, "Quick, get me the information on the attack on planet Demonbeast six years ago."
