Moments later, in the corner of a remote alleyway in Russia.

Alexei rubbed his aching wrists, leaned against the cold wall, and looked coldly at the three or four foreigners who had taken him from the road, the frames of his glasses on the bridge of his nose were crooked, and the nosebleeds were dripping out little by little.

The exit to the main road outside has been sealed, and on the other side of the roadway is a brick wall littered with garbage.

There is no doubt that this is not an impromptu kidnapping, which is known from the fact that the other party accurately called his name, and even reported his address, as well as the names of his wife and daughter, and knew that this could not be solved by losing some money.

"Let me introduce myself, we are a headhunter from the United States, and we would like to invite you to work in our country. ”

The foreign man in the lead moved his knuckles, and just now in order to silence the former Soviet nuclear physicist, he had to go against the plan and punch him directly in the face, judging from the current situation, the effect seems to be not bad.

Glancing at Alexei, who was silent, the American man grinned and said unhurriedly.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Alexei, but the methods and methods we have used to achieve a relatively quiet place to talk may have been a little rougher—after all, the KGB who has been with you these days is so annoying that we have to find a way to quiet him for a while. ”

"Frank? wait...... He's not one of yours?"

Alexei frowned, clutching his bloodied nose and making the sound of urns.

"Of course not, hmph, if it weren't for the fact that these people have been obstructing our work lately......"

The man from the United States snorted coldly, a trace of unnaturalness flashed on his face, and he said with some annoyance.

"But now there is no problem, the Russian authorities have issued an order to search the whole city for these former personnel who are not in the existing KGB files - these unstable factors will soon be arrested." ”

"A bunch of traitors!What did you do with Frank?!"

"Instead of worrying about others, think about your own problems first, Mr. Alexei. ”

The man raised his wrist and looked at his watch, took out a file from his bosom and patted it in his hand, inadvertently unwindbreaker, revealing the pistol pinned to his waist, and whispered a little threateningly.

"Think about our suggestion and think about Natasha and her sisters who are still waiting for you to come home. You know, in today's chaotic world, there are robberies happening every day, and many people are missing every day - as the deputy director of a research institute that will disappear tomorrow, oh no, the name has disappeared, you should know very well......"

After looking around at the surroundings and the attitude of the American man in front of him, Alexei pulled the corners of his mouth contemptuously, looked directly at the American agent who appeared in front of him without fear, and said word by word.

"I'd rather sell my soul to the devil than sell my country to you maggots. ”

"Well, it's the same as what we assessed before. ”

In the face of Alexei's answer, the man pursed the corners of his mouth disapprovingly, wiping away the saliva stuck to his face.

As a field agent attached to the CIA, his main job was not to persuade and infiltrate, and to decapitate and secretly eliminate targets was what he did—the previous words were just procedural needs, which meant that he had already tried.

In fact, since he was assigned this task, he almost understood the attitude of the authorities.

In any case, this important scientific researcher who participated in the main development of nuclear power and nuclear weapons research projects in the former Soviet Union must not get out of control, and even if these people are displaced to a third world country, they may pose a great threat.

"So, I'm sorry...... Blame your Kremlin and the knowledge in your head. Unfortunately, since the collapse of the Soviet Union, there has been no force in the world that can stop us. ”

Looking at the muzzle of the black hole in front of him, Alexei's eyes were a little dazed, but it was a pity...... I can't take the bread home tonight, and with Natasha's character, I shouldn't be going to get his share of severance pay, right?

I hope that the gold star medal at home can still be sold for a good price......

Bang!

Bang bang bang!

The expected pain did not come, but the American man suddenly turned the gun at the last moment, killing a colleague standing next to him, and then, like crazy, continued to pull the trigger on his companions around him.

"Leonard, are you crazy?!"

"Hell, shoot him, he's a traitor!"

Caught off guard, several other Americans reacted quickly, and several people scuffled together, the smell of blood, gunsmoke, and men's angry scolding and moaning mixed together, and the scene became extremely chaotic for a while.

Alexei, who had escaped, looked around from side to side, and was about to find a trash can or some kind of cover to hide a little, so as not to be accidentally injured by stray bullets, and the situation in front of him made his mind a little dazed for a while.

At that moment, Alexei heard a subtle familiar voice in his ear.

"It's time for us to go, Mr. Alexei, don't resist. ”

"Frank, when are you coming......?"

Alexei turned his head abruptly and looked at the vague figure behind him, and before he could finish his sentence, he felt his shoulders sink.

Immediately afterward, Alexei was confronted with a terrible sensation that he had never experienced before.

He felt as if he was being squeezed into a thick rubber tube, unable to breathe, and every part of his body was being squeezed, almost exceeding the limits of his patience...... No, or maybe it was the limit he thought he had.

Then, just when he thought he might be suffocating, the invisible tube burst open, and he half-knelt under the cool Russian night sky, gulping in the fresh, icy air.

Alexei could hear the sound of traffic not far away, and his blurred vision gradually recovered, and the familiar silhouettes and lights of the buildings in the distance told him that they were not too far from the city, and that they should have stayed on the rooftop of a house for now.

And beside him was the eccentric young man who had only been separated from him for a long time, Frank.

It's just that now the young man is holding a thin wooden stick tightly in his hand, as if he is holding a sword used in the West for duels, and for some reason, Alexei always feels that this scene has been seen somewhere.

A hint of nervousness appeared on Frank's young face, and he spoke quickly.

"I understand you must have a lot of confusion, but wait a minute, I still have some finishing touches. ”
