Chapter 1475: Stop
[Oh, Penelope. Struggle all you want, but your future is already doomed.]
Penny exhaled heavily, no longer bothering with the hacker as she turned to face everyone. Curses and yells echoed across the stage—X had already breached the first line of defense within seconds. Given that X had planted the bug beforehand, it didn’t surprise her.
"Come on, come on! Guys! What the fuck are you doing?! A little help here!"
"You’re not the only one defending! I’m adding another layer of security!"
"Stop shouting, damn it!"
Penny glanced at Team A’s screen and saw they were doing their best — not just defending but adding more layers of protection. Their systems kept throwing errors, but that didn’t stop them from continuing their work. If one was not used to it, it was enough to make them dizzy.
’They’re really doing a good job,’ she thought. ’Thanks to their years of experience in the underground, they’re holding off quite well.’
Nodding approvingly, Penny strutted to Team D’s side. Unlike Team A, they were quieter. However, they were fully focused on launching counter attacks against the viruses attacking their software simultaneously.
’So, they’re taking this approach, huh?’ she thought. ’This might slow down the attacks... if successful.’
Her eyes lingered where Nathaniel was seated, studying his side profile. When her gaze shifted to his screen, her brow arched. Penny crossed her arms, her eyes glued to his monitor.
Nathaniel was helping, but she knew his skill level—he could be doing more.
But then again... Penny lowered her gaze, deep in thought.
