American Man Trading Master

Joey finally came here. As soon as he sat down on the chair, George opened the door and came in.

It has to be said that Doctor Octopus did a very good job in intelligence work. He decided to start with George only after thorough investigation.

And this is also true. In view of George's identity and relationship with Joey, he entered the SHIELD New York branch only after a symbolic inspection and was released, without even notifying Joey in advance.

"George, why are you here? Is there any news about the Rhinoceros? No, if there is, you can just make a phone call. There is no need to come in person."

At this time, George's cell phone was Doctor Octopus's listening device, so George did not dare to talk nonsense at all.

"There is no news yet. I came here this time just to see if you have any clues, especially some confidential information."

"Neither do we. You all know what happened to these guys before. After the mutation, it was like disappearing from the world. I think this must be Dr. Otto's fault. Compared to investing all his energy in cross-species In terms of research, Connors is much more slippery than Otto."

"As for the Rhinos and the rest, they are just a bunch of idiots with no power. They can't think of any clever strategy like stealing oil."

With a background in comics and years of experience as an agent, Joey could easily determine that the boss of the sinister gang was Doctor Octopus.

"That's right..."

George sat opposite Joey and blinked suddenly while speaking. At this moment, the phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated twice. This was the code that Doctor Octopus had agreed with him in advance. Once there was a vibration, George had to turn the phone over. Take it out and point the camera at your face.

The reason for this is also very simple, because the network within SHIELD cannot be broken through by Doctor Octopus, which means that there is no way to monitor George's actions through surveillance.

George had no choice but to take out his phone, pretend to play with it, and point the camera at himself.

But what he just did was noticed by Joey.

After Joey was stunned for a moment, he decisively activated his Observation Color Haki to observe George. As a result, he immediately discovered that George's heartbeat was very fast and cold sweat was faintly breaking out on his forehead. This showed that he was in a very nervous state.

High-end knowledge can not only predict the future, but also listen to people's voices. Although Joey has not yet reached this level, he can still tell whether a person is lying or abnormally nervous. In other words, Joey is now a humanoid lie detector.

At this time, the two of them were still chatting, looking the same as usual, but under Joey's careful observation, it was determined that George was most likely being threatened.

"George is a tough guy, the kind of fierce guy who won't give in even if a gun is pointed at his head. There aren't many things that can make him give in, unless it's his family... Gwen?!"

For a moment, Joey thought of a certain Spider-Man cartoon he had seen when he was a child, in which the Sinister Six captured Gwen and used it to threaten George.

Now with such a comparison, the possibility is very high.

"Assuming that George is really threatened, then he came to me today with the intention of kidnapping that party. In this case, the target of the other party is me? Or should I say SHIELD?"

At this moment, George suddenly said that he wanted to borrow some high-tech weapons from SHIELD, and then asked Joey to bring him a physical object to understand its functions.

SHIELD has regulations that it is impossible to loan weapons out, let alone high-tech weapons.

George knew this rule, but now that he brought it up, it was obvious that the drunkard was not interested in drinking.

"This is to temporarily distract me. In other words, the other party's target is not me, but something in my office...the computer?!"

Joey's office was one he only came to a few times a year, and there were no important documents at all. In this case, only the computer was left.

"I understand. The other party's target is SHIELD's internal network. Haha, after such a big detour, the fundamental purpose turns out to be hacking."

Unlike the movie where you sit in a basement full of high-tech products and type on your keyboard, hacking in reality is very simple and crude.

They all try to sneak into the enemy's company, and then directly insert the USB disk containing the virus into other people's computers.

Compared with a series of operations on the computer, most of their energy is actually spent on disguise and infiltration.

To put it bluntly, there is actually not much difference between a truly top hacker and a spy. They cannot be done with a few remote keystrokes.

Joey knew very well how strong SHIELD's network defense was, so he wasn't worried and went out to get weapons as if he didn't notice anything.

And just when Joey stood up, he saw that George's heartbeat had obviously accelerated a lot, which further confirmed Joey's guess.

After going out, Joey directly found the scientific duo Fitz and Simmons and told the situation.

Fitz quickly checked the network, but his expression changed drastically.

"No, our intranet has really been invaded, and now it is slowly eroding the firewall... It is incredible that the network defense system of the intranet has no response at all. The other party's hacker skills are very good!"

"Not only the hacking technology, but also the computing power used by the other party is incredibly high."

Simmons added that Joey had no idea about this.

"In other words, SHIELD's internal network will really be breached?"

"According to the current trend, the opponent will succeed within an hour. This is because the opponent does not want to be discovered. Once he attacks with all his strength without any scruples, he will probably be done in 20 minutes."

Although he had expected it, Joey was still a little surprised that the opponent's technology was even higher than SHIELD.

"Can you stop it?"

"Of course you can. The worst case scenario is to just disconnect the internet. We are not a website here, so the impact of disconnecting the internet is not big. It's just a bit embarrassing. Do you want to notify Coson?"

Nowadays, Coson is in charge of the New York branch. Of course, everyone knows that Master Joey is the boss here.

"Don't notify Coson yet, and don't alert the hackers. The task for you two now is to counter-track and find the person who dares to threaten George."

The two started immediately, but their counter-tracking had no effect. However, in the process, they discovered another terrible thing.

"What? All the surveillance cameras on the streets of New York have been controlled by hackers?"

"It's really unbelievable. There are at least hundreds of thousands of surveillance cameras in New York. Not only that, look at these."

Fitz called up real-time satellite surveillance footage and found that traffic accidents occurred in almost every neighborhood in New York, and a large number of police officers had to be dispatched to deal with these traffic accidents.

"This was caused by the other party controlling the traffic lights. We have reason to suspect that the other party has probably taken over all the electronic products in New York. With such huge computing power, it should be easy to find them. Why can't we find them? ?”

Fitz and Simmons were almost furious, especially Fitz. He kept pulling his hair. It is estimated that it will become the Mediterranean in a few years.

Joey's knowledge of computers was only at the stage of playing games, and he didn't know anything about hacking.

But he is an expert in investigation and counter-investigation.

"If the location of the other party is originally the center of data exchange, does that make sense?"
