Seeking Help!

Xiao Yu's computer screen had turned dark black. The image was a black, shiny iron door with a huge iron lock, giving off a heavy and mysterious feeling.

Above the door was a blood-red countdown, and below it was a line of Chinese text. After seeing the content of the Chinese prompt clearly, the four girls' faces fell.

"It seems like it's really infected with a virus," Zhou Tongtong said blankly. "It's similar to the ransomware from last time, the prompts are almost the same."

"Restart, try restarting."

Li Ruoxi quickly restarted her computer. Half a minute later, the computer turned on again, showing the same screen, completely unable to enter the desktop.

"It couldn't be a virus from an action movie, could it?" Wang Xiaolan asked.

The three girls all looked at Li Ruoxi.

"Impossible, I've watched them all, they can't carry viruses." Li Ruoxi gave a wry smile; she was starting to feel a bit unsure herself.

"I have friends from the Computer Science Department in my WeChat Moments, I'll post there for help." Zhou Tongtong reacted.

"I'll check what kind of virus this is." Wang Xiaolan didn't hesitate either.

Xiao Yu and Li Ruoxi looked at each other, their faces blank.

"I'll use my computer to open the movie and see."

Li Ruoxi walked back to her seat, turned on her computer, inserted the USB drive, and started copying the movie.

"Found it, found it." Just as Li Ruoxi turned on her computer, Wang Xiaolan's voice rang out.

The three girls quickly gathered around.

"Ransomware variant, Beijing time, 6:30 PM, the first case was discovered in Europe. Currently, over 80,000 computers have been infected. Around 7:00 PM, it broke out in North America. According to incomplete statistics, over 50,000 computers in North America are infected, and the number is still increasing. The virus spreads through email attachments, phishing websites, etc., and quickly infects local networks..."

"I have news here too." Zhou Tongtong put her phone's WeChat Moments in front of them. "Many people at our school have infected computers. Look, the latest updates in Moments are all about this. It says here that logging into the campus network caused this."

"Damn."

Li Ruoxi quickly ran back to her seat and unplugged the network cable from her computer, feeling lingering fear. Fortunately, she hadn't had time to log into the campus network, otherwise she would have been affected too.

The three girls reacted and looked at Zhou Tongtong. Zhou Tongtong blinked and looked at her own computer. The screen was the same as Xiao Yu's computer, turning into a mysterious iron door.

"I think I'm infected too." Zhou Tongtong said blankly. "Ah? I'm infected, I'm infected, what should I do?" Realizing what had happened, Zhou Tongtong jumped up and ran back to her computer, pressing keys randomly.

"What should I do? I haven't finished watching my TV series."

The three girls covered their foreheads, watching Zhou Tongtong jump around. This girl's reflexes were half a beat slow, and she was still worried about her TV series.

"Like the ransomware last time, this time it doesn't lock documents, but locks the computer. The computer system is locked. The hacker's goal is still money. Bitcoin transaction, within a week, transfer the money in Bitcoin, otherwise all files on the computer's hard drive will be destroyed."

Li Ruoxi looked at the prompt on the computer screen and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it wasn't caused by her little movies, otherwise she would have felt guilty to death.

"I have my review materials for the accountant exam on my computer, what should I do?" Xiao Yu asked anxiously.

"In Moments, the students from the Computer Science Department all say that before there's an antivirus method, the only way is to reinstall the system."

The next moment, Chen Mo's confident figure appeared in Xiao Yu's mind. She took out her phone, ready to contact him. Just as she was about to dial, she saw three faces with mischievous smiles leaning in to listen.

Chen Mo was currently walking back to his rented apartment, his steps a little hurried, eager to get back. Suddenly, his phone rang in his pocket.

Xiao Yu?

Seeing the incoming call from Xiao Yu, Chen Mo showed a knowing smile and immediately answered.

"Xiao Yu."

"Chen Mo." Xiao Yu called out, blushing, because at this moment, there were three female "squids" listening beside her.

"You miss me, don't you?" Chen Mo said with a smile.

Li Ruoxi and the other two girls immediately covered their mouths, their eyes curved into crescent moons. Xiao Yu didn't dare to answer directly, her face bright red.

"My computer is infected with a virus."

"Infected with a virus?" Chen Mo's steps paused. "What happened?"

"This is a variant of the ransomware..."

Xiao Yu told Chen Mo everything about the virus in detail.

During this time, she had seen Chen Mo reading about computer programming and hacking techniques every day, so she had a feeling that perhaps Chen Mo would have a solution.

"I'll come find you now. Give me your computer, and I'll help you take a look."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Mo hurried back towards the dormitory area while checking the news about the ransomware variant on his phone.

As soon as he opened the news headlines in his browser, he didn't need to search; the news about the ransomware had already been pinned to the top.

Chen Mo clicked in without hesitation.

In the girls' dormitory, after Xiao Yu hung up the phone, the three girls burst into laughter.

"Little calico cat, you miss me, don't you?"

"Mo Mo, my computer is infected with a virus, hurry over."

"I'll come find you now, be good..."

"Mwah."

Wang Xiaolan and Zhou Tongtong imitated their conversation in a very sweet voice. The dormitory was filled with laughter, making Xiao Yu's face turn red with embarrassment.

"Hey, that's enough." Li Ruoxi stopped laughing. "Are you really going to give him the computer later?"

"Otherwise?" Xiao Yu asked.

"You forgot, there are action movies on the computer desktop. What if he really unlocks it and opens them to watch, ahem..." Li Ruoxi winked at Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu thought about the scene, her face flushed, and she instantly became nervous. If that happened, she wouldn't be able to wash herself clean even if she jumped into the Yellow River.

"How about giving him mine?" Zhou Tongtong said.

"Give him both of them. I believe he won't look around." Xiao Yu hesitated and said, "Even if he accidentally opens them, I'll explain it to him then."

Not long after, Chen Mo returned to the dormitory area.

Xiao Yu, along with her three roommates, were already waiting downstairs. They all wanted to see who this pig was that had gotten their best cabbage from the dorm.

"This is Wang Xiaolan, this is Zhou Tongtong, you know Ruoxi."

"Hello." Chen Mo politely greeted the three of them.

"Hello."

The three girls greeted Chen Mo, and Wang Xiaolan and Zhou Tongtong looked at him with a somewhat dazed expression.

Chen Mo wasn't a great handsome guy, but his confident, steady demeanor was captivating. Not many people had this kind of temperament. At this moment, they were all a little envious of Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu handed the two computers to Chen Mo.

"This one is mine, and this one is Tongtong's. My accountant exam materials are inside. If you can recover them, recover them. If not, just forget it and help me reinstall the system."

"Complete recovery comes with a reward, you know." Li Ruoxi chuckled. "I'll tell you the last piece of information from last time."

"Don't listen to her nonsense."

Xiao Yu immediately stopped Li Ruoxi, afraid of being betrayed by her again.

"I saw the ransomware issue," Chen Mo said. "I'll try my best to fix it for you as soon as possible."

After taking Xiao Yu's computer, Chen Mo looked at the three girls. "Please take care of Xiao Yu in the dorm. If anything happens to her, contact me anytime."

"We will. We're leaving now, you two continue your private chat." Li Ruoxi pulled the two girls back to the dorm, leaving Xiao Yu and Chen Mo alone.

"Is there a reward?"

Chen Mo looked at Xiao Yu with a half-smile. Li Ruoxi and the others were there just now, so it wasn't convenient for him to speak. Now he didn't have to worry.

"Tell me after you fix it."

Xiao Yu left a sentence and hurried back to the dorm.

Chen Mo took the two computers back to his rented room. The computer screens were still black and shiny iron doors with a huge iron lock, looking mysterious.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Mo lay back on the bed and entered the Sci-Tech Library.
