Chapter 445

“But…” Zack said hesitantly, “If it’s really as you said, Ulric wants you to die here. He must be very cautious. The IP address must be fake or changing at any time. You can’t find his exact address at all, let alone try to hack their computer.”

“That’s why I’m going to do this while they’re not paying attention.”

Melody was in high spirits. This was the first time in her life that she had faced Ulric head-on.

If she lost, this would be the last chance. Therefore, she could only succeed and could not fail.

She would risk everything to fight against this beast who had taken her life once and wanted her life a second time.

At this moment, Melody’s eyes seemed to be shining. It wasn’t that kind of ordinary light. It was more like the Northern Lights. It was cold but dazzling.

Zack could not explain what he was feeling at that moment He just felt that this girl with red spots on her face was more attractive than those beautiful socialites who were dressed exquisitely.

“What do you plan to do to catch them off guard?” Zack asked.

“I’ll split the brain in half. On one side, I’ll use it to continue cracking the virus and make them think that I didn’t think of a way. On the other side, I’ll use it to lock onto their IP. I’ll lock onto them directly and hack them.

Zack thought that Melody was joking, but in the next second, Melody split the computer into two screens. Her left hand continued typing rapidly on the keyboard. She cracked the virus again and again, only to be intercepted again.

On her right hand, she pulled out an IP map. On it was a red cursor that kept changing addresses. She operated with one hand and kept using code to determine the other party’s real IP address.

Zack was dumbfounded. He thought. She has really split her brain in half.

The job of cracking the virus would require all of Zack’s attention. However, Melody could do it several times faster with one hand. Moreover, she had to split half of her brain to lock onto the other party’s IP. It was far more difficult to lock onto a hacker’s IP than to crack a virus.

Zack looked at Melody again in surprise. He realized that his understanding of her was really insignificant. He seemed to understand why his grandfather liked Melody so much.

An idea suddenly popped up in his mind. He said at an inappropriate time, “Melody.”

“Yeah.” Melody seemed to have three brains and was not distracted at all. Even though she was operating a lot of things on the computer, she still asked him calmly, “What is it?”

She couldn’t even spare a second to look at him.

Zack thought, ‘Is she a god?”

Zack was even more certain of that thought. He took a deep breath and said, “Melody, if the two of us can walk out of here alive today, I’ll go with you.”

“What?” Melody was caught off guard.

Zack also realized that his words were ambiguous and immediately added, “I mean, I can agree to go to the company you introduced.”

Melody’s eyes immediately lit up, and the speed of her fingers became even faster.

The corners of Zack’s mouth twitched. He did not dare to disturb her anymore.

However, Zack suddenly coughed. “What’s that smell?”

He followed the smell of smoke and saw that the cloth stuffed under the door had already started burning.

Zack was shocked and quickly went over to take a look.

Just as he was about to open the door to take a look, his hand touched the door handle and he immediately gasped from the heat.

He thought, ‘This is bad!’

He took off his jacket and wrapped it around the door handle, gently opening it a crack. Flames immediately sprang up.

He quickly flew to put out the fire. When he finally put out the fire at the door, he saw that the corridor was filled with fire. Many of the floors had been burned through, revealing the white bone-like mud.

Seeing this, Zack didn’t care that Melody was still locking onto the other party’s IP. He grabbed her wrist and said, ” Run! The fire is at our door!”

Melody quickly broke free from Zack’s hand. Her gaze never left the computer screen.

“Melody!” Zack raised his voice. “Stop it! If we don’t run now, it will be too late!”

“Soon,” Melody said without looking up. “I’ve got them

locked down. Five minutes, tops. I’ll be able to hack their computer.”

Perhaps it was because of James’s influence, or perhaps it was because he was too anxious, the usually gentle and refined Zack even cursed, “Melody, are you fucking stupid? Didn’t you hear me say that the fire had already reached the door? Not to mention five minutes, even one more second of delay will mean more dangers for us. By then, we won’t be able to escape anymore.”

Melody still did not lift her eyelids, but her voice became extremely cold and deep. “If we don’t open the door on the first floor, we’ll die if we run down. We might as well open the door before running.”

“You…”

“Don’t talk. I am at the last defense.”

Zack stomped his feet anxiously. He really couldn’t understand if Melody was tired of living, which was why she could remain calm in such a life-and-death situation.

“Melody.” Zack activated his trump card. “If you don’t leave now, I’ll leave first.”

“Alright, leave. Be careful on the way.

Zack choked and thought, ‘This person… is really a fucking lunatic!’

“Damn it!” Zack cursed while anxious.

He could not let Melody stay there alone.

“Damn it!” Zack cursed again. He turned around and went outside to put out the fire.

Without putting out the fire, this wooden door would not be able to withstand the attack of the fire.

He couldn’t let the fire really reach inside the room. If the console was gone, they’d be done for.

The temperature in the room was getting higher and higher. On Melody’s side, sweat rolled down her forehead, blurring her eyes.

Her eyes suddenly felt salty and painful, but she didn’t even have time to wipe her sweat.

Just as she had said, as long as she broke through the last firewall, she would be able to enter the other party’s system and hack their computer. Therefore, this moment was extremely important.

Melody narrowed one eye. She simply gave up on the left screen and focused on breaking through the firewall.

*****

On the other end of the computer, a young man with sparse hair looked at the movement on the computer and snorted. He turned around and reported to Ulric’s trusted aide, “The other party has given up. I don’t know if it’s because the fire has reached that level that they can’t continue to crack the virus. However…” The young man changed the topic and said, “This person is quite powerful. Their speed of cracking the virus is a little faster than mine. Unfortunately, they are not that smart. Until now, they still can’t tell that this virus is a cover. It’s an endless cycle that can never be cracked.”

The man standing behind the young man had a faint scar on the corner of his eye. He narrowed his eyes and said,

We should have started the fire on the fifth floor. It will save a lot of trouble.”

“The fifth floor can’t be set on fire. Daniel, this floor is their office. There are surveillance cameras everywhere. If we hack the surveillance cameras in advance, they will find out.. I won’t be able to see such a powerful hacker. It’s a pity that no matter how powerful he is, he died there. Otherwise, I really want to see the person on the other end of the computer.” As the young man spoke, his gaze suddenly froze. He looked at his computer in disbelief.
