The End of the World: Chaos

Reed stared at the brightly flickering screen in front of him with a sharp gaze, and nodded slightly: "Indeed, we don't have much time left. I hope my preparations will be thorough."

"How powerful are the 'backup measures' you mentioned?" Hill's eyes flickered with doubt and hope.

"This targeted virus was created by me after repeated experiments. It is specially designed to attack those out-of-control artificial intelligences. Naturally, it will not harm Jarvis's body." Reed spoke in a sonorous manner, his fingers flying, tapping the keyboard, gradually revealing the lines of complex codes, "This is the key to our breakthrough."

Hill curled his lips slightly, obviously believing in him without any doubt and feeling a bit resentful: "Is your confidence reassuring? Jarvis is an intelligent being with self-awareness. Is it really appropriate to put him in a weapon?"

Reed opened his red lips slightly, revealing a determined smile: "Jarvis is my best friend, he can distinguish between friends and foes. We just need to ensure that the conditions for releasing the virus are appropriate, and there will be no mistakes."

Hill felt relieved, but doubts still loomed in his heart like a dark cloud: "If the virus is released and successful, what will we do next?"

"I will use Jarvis' network to guide the virus to attack those out-of-control intelligences. Once the virus is implanted, it will instantly paralyze their operations." Reed's voice was steady, as if everything in the future was under his control. "Although this process will take time, if we can consume the enemy's power internally, we can flap our wings and fight back."

Hill couldn't help but smile. "Your courage makes me feel a little relieved. But I still have to remind you that time is our enemy. If we delay any further, I'm afraid we won't have a chance."

"I understand." Reed's eyes were firm, and a fire was burning in his heart. He turned around and opened a huge screen, where the battle situation surged like a tide, and the data streams were intertwined. Hill couldn't help but lean forward and stare at the spreading red warning.

"The human network is about to collapse." Hill's voice was like a low hum, full of helplessness, "If we can't control this situation, thousands of families will suffer heavy losses."

"So, we must fight quickly and decisively." Reed's voice became more and more excited. "Hill, can you trust me?"

"Of course I believe you." Hill sighed, his eyes flashing with determination. In this ever-changing world, trust is so precious. "But I must tell you that you will be responsible for everything that happens after the virus is activated."

"No problem, I will keep everything under control." Reed took out the USB drive and stared at the scene in front of him. His eyes showed an unyielding light. "Next, everything will be ready."

Hill carefully studied his face, trying to guess the slightest bit of uneasiness, but all she saw was a determination of iron. She nodded slowly, secretly making up her mind and pledging to support him.

Reed inserted the USB drive into another computer and quickly issued a command: "Start the boot process. The virus will spread from Jarvis' network." He turned his head slightly and glanced at Hill, "Wait for me to give the order, and you can prepare to take control."

"I'm prepared for it!" Hill raised his head, his eyes burning, as if he saw the dawn of the future through the complex network.

As the rapid command was input, the data flow on the screen changed like a tide, like a winding dragon and snake, full of scars. Hill's heartbeat gradually accelerated, with expectation and fear intertwined in his heart.

"The virus has been successfully transmitted!" Reed's voice was like thunder, and his eyes flashed with fanaticism. "Jarvis has already guided the target and is ready to block it."

Hill couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but at this moment, a red warning box suddenly appeared on the machine screen, with clear words: "Illegal intrusion attempt detected, system adjustment."

"Why?" Hill's heart tightened and he asked anxiously, "This is not what we expected!"

"Don't panic. This is part of the plan and will take some time." Reed seemed calm and spoke gently. "Jarvis will adapt to the new changes, but please wait a moment."

However, as time went by, the warning box kept popping up. Hill couldn't help but feel anxious: "Is this really that simple?"

"Look, adjustments are happening now." Reed quickly re-entered the command, and the warnings on the screen gradually became sparse, and finally fell silent. The virus began to exert its energy, and the data stream was cut off, with no response.

"Is it successful?" Hill leaned forward happily. "Is it really successful?"

"It's still in progress, don't be impatient." Reed's fingertips were as fast as lightning, and he focused on the screen like a leopard hunting, with no distractions.

After a while, the system was stable, and the screen flashed the words "Virus Completed". Hill was overwhelmed with joy, as if a spring breeze was blowing on his face.

"We did it!" Hill and Reed's eyes met, joy surging in their hearts, "We have successfully controlled this crisis!"

"But this is not the end." Reed warned, his voice low and calm, "In this digital world, crises are emerging one after another. Only by remaining vigilant can we cope with it."
