The scene was in chaos, with reporters talking over each other, and order was completely disrupted.
"Everyone, please be quiet! Quiet down!" the female spokesperson shouted loudly.
With the security personnel maintaining order, the scene gradually returned to normal.
The female spokesperson took a deep breath and said with a serious expression:
"Friends from the press, I would like to take this opportunity to inform you that the scheduled 4.18 Maritime Search and Rescue Exercise has been postponed for reasons. During the preparation process for the exercise, a UH-1Y 'Venom' helicopter belonging to our Solarian Maritime Guard unfortunately crashed into the sea..."
The scene erupted in an uproar.
Solaria's official announcement finally confirmed the news of the helicopter crash.
"Spokesperson, what is the specific reason for the helicopter crash?"
"There is news online that it was caused by Federation
"Spokesperson, were there any casualties in the accident?"
"Foreign media reports say that Vice Admiral Sterling also died in the helicopter crash. Spokesperson, can you confirm this?"
...
Reporters rushed to ask questions, and the scene's order became chaotic again.
"Everyone, please be quiet! Quiet down! Thank you!" the female spokesperson shouted loudly again.
After the scene quieted down, she continued:
"Here, with a heavy heart, I want to inform everyone that the UH-1Y helicopter crash resulted in the deaths of all 13 people, including Commander Vice Admiral Sterling, 10 Marine Corps members, and 2 crew members."
"Wow--"
The scene was once again in an uproar.
They were all killed!
And among the deceased was Commander Vice Admiral Sterling.
This... this is simply explosive news.
"Holy crap!"
Elliot was also shocked by this news.
He didn't expect that all 13 people on the helicopter were actually killed.
And even a Lieutenant General was sent.
"Haha, it was worth it! The 5 million
He used 5 million points to exchange for the life of a Lieutenant General; this deal was too cost-effective.
Not just 5 million points, even 50 million points would be cost-effective.
Feeling good.
"I'm a GNN reporter, was the UH-1Y helicopter crash related to Federation
Elliot pricked up his ears; he also wanted to know how Solaria would answer this question.
"Regarding the claims of
"Alas, Solaria still won't admit it?" Elliot was puzzled.
However, upon closer thought, he also understood Solaria's predicament.
A large-scale military exercise was actually invaded by a
If Solaria admitted that it was caused by a
So fragile that a
If that were truly the case, how could they still stand in the international community? How could they maintain their image as a "great nation"?
It would be better to just go home and plant sweet potatoes.
Elliot still underestimated the 'thickness of Solaria's skin'.
In order to maintain their face, they would rather admit it was an accident than admit it was a
After all, they can't afford to lose face like that.
"Spokesperson, may I ask..."
The reporters at the scene still wanted to continue questioning, but they were interrupted by the female spokesperson.
"Sorry, I don't have any more information to disclose, thank you everyone." With that, she turned and quickly left the press conference venue.
This brief press conference ended hastily like this.
Although the press conference was over, the news about the helicopter crash, like it had grown wings, quickly spread throughout the world.
Especially the news that Solaria officially admitted that the helicopter crash resulted in the deaths of all 13 people, including a Lieutenant General, which was like a heavy bomb, exploding on the Federation internet.
The entire network was boiling, full of cheers and excitement, as lively as a New Year or holiday.
Elliot even wanted to go downstairs to buy a string of firecrackers to celebrate.
However, that was just a thought; after all, setting off fireworks is prohibited in the community.
"Hehe, let's take a look at the points."
Elliot happily opened the
"Oh yeah, awesome!" Elliot rubbed his hands happily, "With so many points, what should I redeem?"
Just as he was thinking, the computer suddenly emitted a rapid alarm sound: "Beep beep beep!"
A botnet was attacked.
Elliot did not panic. From this morning until now, he had heard such alarm sounds countless times.
He knew that Solaria was tracking him.
With such a big incident, not only Solaria, but
Elliot was not worried.
He had prepared 100,000 botnets, so Solaria could bring it on, let them investigate.
Besides, Elliot had a trick up his sleeve.
He had set up several traps in the botnet network, and was already waiting for the "prey" to fall into the net.
"Beep beep beep!"
In the lower right corner of the computer, another message notification popped up: "#Darknet# Solaria's Ministry of Defense is offering a reward of 10 million credits to hunt down the
"Huh?" Elliot raised an eyebrow and clicked on a webpage.
A black skull appeared in the center of the screen.
This is the Darknet.
The Darknet refers to networks hidden beneath the ordinary internet, an international black market trading platform where you can buy anything, including contraband, firearms, fake passports, and even people.
Buyers and sellers on the Darknet are anonymous, and their real identities and addresses cannot be tracked at all.
To access the Darknet, you need specific software, configurations, or authorization to log in.
Elliot entered the password and logged into the Darknet.
He saw the bounty.
Solaria really offered a reward of 10 million credits.
"Damn, only 10 million, Solaria is too stingy, who are they looking down on?" Elliot complained.
He was very dissatisfied.
In contrast, the highest
Solaria, really stingy.
Okay, I'm just kidding.
Jokes aside.
Solaria offering 10 million credits needs to be taken seriously.
Can't be careless.
He is not afraid of Solaria tracking him through the botnet, the only thing to be careful of is the Crimson Hacker Base.
It is not excluded that Solaria has undercover agents in the Crimson Hacker Base.
Fortunately, Elliot has always been relatively cautious. Even when logging into the Crimson Hacker Base, he does so through a botnet jump.
He needs to be even more cautious in the future.
It's best to change to a new account, and log in with the Joker account as little as possible.
