Super Black Technology

the next morning. Leeds Metropolitan University, Leeds, UK.

On the green and emerald forest path, a girl in a white dress hurried past.

She is tall and thin, with a clean face, but for some reason, there is always a lingering sadness on the girl's brows.

The girl's name is Alice, Alice Hill.

As a child born in a commoner family, Alice knew very early on that she had to work hard, very hard, to get rid of her poor family.

So in addition to studying, Alice also works part-time at a convenience store near the school.

As soon as she entered the convenience store, a tall blond girl greeted her and gave Alice a warm hug.

"Happy birthday, Alice!"

"Thank you, Lucy!"

Lucy is Alice's only friend at school, and she takes good care of Alice on weekdays. Even this part-time job was introduced by Lucy. After all, the two girls are from the same town.

Lucy is a sociology major, and Alice is an art design major.

"Alice, I heard that your friend who has known you for three years is going to give you a birthday present?"

Alice nodded: "I still don't know what he will give?"

"Congratulations, I guess he will give you a big gift, after all, you have known each other for so long."

Hearing this, Alice blushed slightly: "Thank you for your blessing, Lucy!"

"whee!"

Amid soft laughter, the two girls walked towards the work point respectively.

Alice's part-time job for the weekend begins when the first customer walks into the store.

The shops next to the school have always had a good business, after all, students earn the best money. At this time, in the convenience store where Alice works, there are people coming and going, and there are already 5 or 6 customers lined up in front of the cash register.

Alice was busy knocking on the cash register in front of her.

"Hello, the total is 3 pounds. I'll charge you 5 pounds and find you 2 pounds. Welcome next time, please walk slowly."

After sending off a customer, before Alice had time to catch her breath, another box of tissues was handed over.

"Hello! Your product is 'Sper' tissue, and the price is..." Alice took the tissue, and while talking, she moved the tissue to the scanner, once, twice, three times...

what happened? ! Alice was in a hurry. The code scanner, which usually responds to a swipe, didn't know what happened, but now there was no movement.

Is the scanner malfunctioning?

"Hurry up, you're in a hurry!" The customer urged impatiently, and the rest of the people also looked at the cashier.

Alice quickly turned over the tissue, wrote down the product code, and wanted to manually enter the product code into the cash register.

Suddenly, but hearing a "pop", the screen of the cash register went black inexplicably. Then a huge clock appeared, covering the entire screen.

Tick, tick, tick, the clock is ticking...

7:59:57.

7:59:58.

7:59:59.

boom! boom! boom!

It sounded like the sound of fireworks blooming. Then the clock disappeared, and a cake filled with candles appeared in the center of the screen, with a few lines above it: Happy birthday to Sister Alice! Sister, I like you very much, can you be my girlfriend?

"OH, MyGod!" Alice screamed loudly.

"What's wrong?" Lucy was extremely worried about her friend, and ran over from the other side, "OH, MyGod!"

The continuous screams attracted everyone in the convenience store, and the boss and customers all surrounded him.

"My God, this is..."

"God, hacker! This must be done by hackers! Boss, have you offended someone?"

"No, no! Look at the words on it: Happy Birthday, Sister Alice. Alice, Alice..."

Isn't the cashier girl just called Alice? and……

"And today is her birthday!" The boss who knew Alice's information blurted out.

At this moment, Alice was dumbfounded.

This is a birthday present? How could he do this, this is my only part-time job, woo woo, how could he do this? !

Tears instantly filled Alice's eyes, and her pale red lips trembled involuntarily, as if she was about to cry.

"Alice, you..." The boss looked at Alice with a suspicious expression written on his face. The words did not continue, but the meaning was already obvious.

If you make a boyfriend, you can do it, but you can't delay my business. This shop has a small capital and low profits.

Hearing the boss's words, Alice's tightly suppressed emotions immediately let go of the floodgate, and tears flowed down in strings like raindrops with a broken thread.

"I see! Thank you...thank you...boss!"

Insisted on finishing this sentence, but hearing the sound of "wow", Alice burst into tears and ran out of the store while crying.

"Alice, Alice!"

Lucy was very worried, she didn't even care about her work, and hurriedly chased her out.

Following the direction in which the two women left, everyone looked outside the shop. At this moment, everyone in the store was shocked.

Outside the store, on a huge 10-meter-high billboard, the old Pepsi advertisement has disappeared, replaced by a huge cake with the same words of blessing.

This billboard is a commercial billboard owned by News Corp. For the billboard industry, a lot or even a region generally shares one system. If the billboard was hacked, then...

Gosh! Who is this mysterious man chasing Alice? Mr. Murdoch's News Corporation is a large multinational conglomerate company, known all over the world.

...

Outside the convenience store.

Alice hugged Lucy tightly, crying loudly.

The girl is sad, really sad. Today is my birthday, and my "friend" who I have been with for three years actually planted a Trojan horse in my part-time convenience store to punish her. This is not wishing me a happy birthday, he is clearly forcing me to resign.

That's my only job! Without this job, where should I look for it?

"How could he do this? How could he treat me like this..." Alice couldn't express her grievances, and kept repeating the same words.

"No! Alice must not be like this!" Lucy shook her friend vigorously, "Cheer up, Alice, he probably didn't target the convenience store on purpose. Look, look!"

Her friend shook her vigorously to make Alice's crying fade away, but the tears still flowed from her eyes.

Looking in the direction of her friend's finger, what caught Alice's eyes was an extremely shocking scene:

Rows of billboards on both sides of the street are full of cakes, as are the bus stop signs not far away, and even the TVs placed outside the shops on the street are not missed.

Alice was completely shocked by cakes, candles, and birthday greetings. This, this is...

"Ding Ding Ding!" The phone rang, and it was Lucy's call.

"Hi, I'm Lucy!"

"Lucy, go back to school. There is a big accident in our school. All the computers and TVs in the school are occupied by a cake..." The man said urgently on the phone.

Before he finished speaking, his classmate roared again on the phone, "It's not just our place, even the whole city of Leeds has been taken over by cakes! Cool, so cool, who did this?"

At this moment, Alice stopped crying, her pink mouth was slightly opened, and she wanted to say something but couldn't. Alice looked at Lucy, and Lucy looked at Alice, the eyes of the two women were full of worry.

Such a large-scale network intrusion is no longer a prank. This is clearly an unprecedented terrorist attack.

And the target of the attack is not a small Latin American country, but one of the five major gangsters of the United Nations.
