And so the very thing his government forced him to create would be their doom. Li unplugged the drive and continued running down the corridor -he had to make it to the south-west door if he had any chance of leaving the facility, let alone the country, alive. After running for what felt like way too long, Li could finally make out the door at the end of the hallway. It was a solid metal door with a code activated lock and a terminal beside it. Li plugged his hard drive into the terminal and fired up his bypass program. Five percent. His heart racing, he glanced behind him, squinting to see as far down the corridor as he could to make sure none of the guards were aware he had left. Although his plan was perfectly executed, he still had no idea how long his simple deception of looping the security feeds would work. Li turned back to the terminal: twenty percent. The real genius was in his undetectable virus that he planted in the facility's network, and then ultimately every computer. He had turned the entire building into a mining operation that sent all of the rewards to one Virtual Wallet Address; his. Checking the terminal again he saw it was only at fifty percent. Li might have been impressed by the software encryption on the door had it not been the only thing between him and freedom. In the 6 months and 18 days he was kept here, he managed to accumulate 1.2 million Bitcoins by letting his virus work, all of which were stored on the hard drive in his pocket; He wasn't going to leave them a single coin. Seeing the terminal was at eighty percent, Li fired up his second program, Blackout.EXE. He smiled when he pressed the execute button, happy with the name he coined for his death-to-all-computers program. Both programs would finish at the same time, one would open his door to freedom, and one would ensure he was untraceable. Blackout.exe was simply a time bomb that would render every computer in the facility useless after 72 hours; enough time for him to be out of the country. Ninety-eight percent. Li braced himself against the door, his ear up against it, ready to burst it open and make a run for the horizon. His wife and two children were waiting for him in their jeep just passed the horizon under the cover of trees. He had been dreaming of seeing his family for too long, and he was going to make sure that in completing his work, his family would live a peaceful life where they would never be separated again.
