Shen Qiu immediately logged into Haiyin, the largest social platform of Hongmeng.
Posts about red skulls are popping up all over the Haiyin platform like bamboo shoots after a rain.
Shen Qiu continued to browse those posts, his eyes becoming more solemn. He did not expect that this skull symbol would sweep through all the equipment of Blue Star.
Now the entire social platform is abuzz, and everyone is discussing uneasily.
"What kind of virus is this? All anti-virus software doesn't work."
"It's not just that the anti-virus software doesn't work. It starts automatically as soon as I turn off the computer, unless I unplug the power supply!"
"That's nothing. You should know that it's on your mobile phone, right? Even if I format the phone directly, it won't work."
"Such a perversion could be a sign of a curse, right?"
"Isn't it going to be the end of the world?"
"What age have we been, and we are still so superstitious? We have to believe in science! This is a sensationalizing virus."
"Don't say that, even if it's a virus, it's awesome to be able to do this!"
After browsing for about half an hour, Shen Qiu came across the official announcement from the Red Alliance.
"Dear citizens, if you see the red skull logo on various devices, please do not panic! The technical department is currently working overtime to eliminate the virus, and at the same time, the pranksters behind the scenes will be severely punished."
Looking at this announcement, Shen Qiu's eyes moved slightly. He was skeptical about the announcement's rhetoric.
If the other party can make such a big move, it's unlikely that it's just a prank. In all likelihood, something big is going to happen when the countdown ends.
Of course, the Red League officials must be very aware of it, but they just don't make it public. As for this announcement, it is more meant to appease everyone.
In fact, Shen Qiu guessed correctly. All three major alliances on Blue Star were in action. They were frantically checking their own equipment, trying to find the source of the problem. At the same time, just in case, they put all the alert troops on alert. .
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
More than two hours later, Shen Qiu looked at the restarted computer and couldn't help but shook his head. The virus was more powerful than he expected.
He tried various methods, but couldn't shake it at all.
The computer can't even shut down. The person who designed this virus is truly incredible.
"never mind."
Shen Qiu said to himself that he no longer thought about the scarlet skull counting down the time, and walked towards the bed.
There is no point in continuing to struggle with something that is completely unsolvable. Besides, if he guessed correctly, nothing should happen before the countdown ends.
Otherwise, the countdown has no meaning, so at least during this period, everything is safe and normal.
Therefore, Shen Qiu was ready to take a good rest and recuperate his energy.
The next morning, when the sun shines through the gap in the curtains, it shines on Shen Qiu's face.
Shen Qiu opened her eyes, reached out and touched the mobile phone on the bedside, and turned it on immediately.
The scarlet skull logo and eye-catching countdown are still visible.
17 hours, 31 minutes, 23 seconds.
"It's still there, it hasn't been cleared."
After Shen Qiu stared at the scarlet skull logo for a few seconds, he muttered to himself.
It seems that this virus is more powerful than expected, and it has not been defeated even after a night.
Shen Qiu got up immediately, walked to the bathroom, and turned on the faucet of the sink.
Wow~
Shen Qiu held the cool tap water in his hands and washed his face. The remaining trace of sleep disappeared in an instant.
He raised his head and looked at the smart mirror in front of him. It automatically activated and lit up. A scarlet skull appeared instantly, with blood-red eyes staring at Shen Qiu as if they were alive.
If it had been anyone else, he would probably have had a heart attack.
Shen Qiu stretched out his hand expressionlessly, pulled off the smart mirror's power supply, and started washing up as if nothing had happened.
A few minutes later, Shen Qiu was walking in the community. The community was also extremely lively today.
The aunts who were walking their babies downstairs gathered around and were discussing.
"I don't know anyone who has been stabbed a thousand times and got a skull-headed virus. I almost had a heart attack."
"It's just that I can't watch TV now. My grandson has been losing his temper all morning."
"When we catch that guy, we must punish him severely!"
"That's for sure. Look how much panic it caused."
"Listen to me, that skull is not necessarily a virus. I heard from the gossip that some people say that the skull is a sign of the end."
"Is it true? Don't scare me. How did you hear that?"
"Just in the isolated alley, that Master Wang said."
"You said that blind man Wang can't even see. Can you believe what he said?"
"I'm telling you, you can't believe it until you see it."
Shen Qiu glanced at it from the corner of his eye and continued walking towards the outside of the community.
After he walked out of the community, he walked towards a breakfast shop he often visited on the street.
Walking along the way, I saw that almost all of the electronic advertising screens hanging on the walls of buildings on the street were powered off.
Some advertising screens that had not had time to cut off the power all displayed red skull patterns.
Even the traffic lights at the street entrance were faintly flashing with red skull patterns.
Many pedestrians on the road had worried looks on their faces.
Soon Shen Qiu walked to the door of the breakfast shop.
"What do you want to eat?"
A middle-aged woman with a slight build and simple clothes asked with a smile on her face.
"A bowl of bean curd and two drawers of steamed buns."
Shen Qiu found a seat in the corner and sat down.
"OK."
The landlady responded cheerfully and quickly delivered breakfast to Shen Qiu.
Shen Qiu picked up the chopsticks, picked up a bun and ate it.
At this time, two patrol guards in blue uniforms came in and shouted to the proprietress.
"Lady boss, bring me four steamed buns and two bowls of soy milk."
"Okay! Why did you have breakfast so late today?"
The landlady smiled and chatted.
"Hey, this is not caused by the countdown skull. The higher ups issued an order for us to step up patrols. We took over at five o'clock in the morning, so we can take a quick bite of breakfast while there is nothing else to do."
The older guard at the head complained helplessly.
"It really killed people and made people panic. My business dropped a lot this morning."
"If there is nothing we can do, some people will definitely be afraid and simply not go out."
"Yes, tell me, will anything bad happen after the countdown ends?"
The landlady was also a little worried and couldn't help but ask.
"Don't worry, it's okay, you won't get into any waves."
The guards in front of them coughed and replied, but they didn't have much confidence in what they said.
"When you say that, I feel relieved."
The landlady couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this.
In the corner, Shen Qiu paused with the chopsticks in his hand for a few seconds, then continued to stuff the bun into his mouth silently.
