Deadly Digital Virus
After getting up in the morning, Joanna went to the bathroom to wash her face. But she suddenly felt dizzy and her vision blurred, and soon she lost consciousness. Around nine o'clock in the morning, the phone in Joanna's home rang (it was her company calling), but no one answered. So the company sent someone to Joanna's home. Just then, the doorbell at Joanna's home rang; it turned out to be the neighbors knocking at the door. They knocked for quite a while, but no one opened it. The neighbors knew Joanna was inside the house; she had not gone out! By this time more and more people had gathered outside, and the neighbors felt that something was seriously wrong! So they quickly called the police. A few minutes later, the police car came howling in. The police broke down the door and entered, only to find Joanna lying in the bathroom. Nothing in the house had been stolen, so it was obviously not a burglary. But Joanna remained unconscious, so the police hurriedly took Joanna to the hospital. After examination, the doctors discovered that a pair of chipsets in Joanna's brain showed abnormalities. So they quickly notified specialists from "Shenhe Company" to come diagnose the problem. A few minutes later, the specialists from "Shenhe Company" arrived at the scene. After careful examination by Engineer Sibir and others, they found that the pair of chipsets in Joanna's brain had already been infected with an unknown virus!
Just then, Joanna's relative arrived at the hospital. He angrily said to Engineer Sibir: Didn't you say your company's second-generation product was an improved model? Why has such a serious problem still appeared? You will bear full responsibility for this! Engineer Sibir explained to Joanna's relative: We will quickly work out a countermeasure, please don't worry, Joanna will be fine.
Around eight o'clock the next morning, "Guardian Company" released a message online, saying that at around nine o'clock the night before last their company had discovered a new computer virus, and had named it "Wordless 2040," meaning the silent year 2040. "Guardian Company" explained: This virus specifically attacks the latest "Shenhe II" product developed by "Shenhe Company." He also said, our company has already developed an antivirus program to deal with this virus, and it will be put on the market immediately. We hope the public will not panic and will wait patiently!
The government repeatedly blocked the news from spreading, fearing chaos in public order! But the secret still leaked out. At this time, all the media began publishing reports, saying that more and more people were being infected with the "Wordless 2040" virus, and that it was very likely to get out of control. By then, this prosperous and noisy city would turn into a sleeping valley!
One week later, the patients were discharged from the hospital one after another, the "Wordless 2040" virus was completely brought under control, and we had won! Cheers spread across the major media. Just then, a spokesperson for "Shenhe Company" announced to the public: We admit that our newly developed "Shenhe II" product really does have a BUG. We formally apologize to all users of this product, and will compensate all losses. Thank you!
The beautiful evening sun was about to set, the day's bustle was about to end, and we were about to rest again! But at the same time it also meant the beginning of a new dawn...
—The End
