Inside the Kremlin, President Vladimir reads documents.

In the period after the coup, Vladimir, with the support of the military and his own forces, carried out a large-scale purge, sending to prison a large number of oligarchs who had plundered huge fortunes during the collapse of the Red Empire, as well as their political spokesmen and partners.

This series of purges has won the strong support of the Russian people at the bottom, and the support for Vladimir has been unprecedentedly strengthened.

But in the midst of this cheer, they did not notice that after these oligarchs and politicians were overthrown and purged, the looted wealth did not return to the hands of the state, but flowed into the hands of another part of the population in a more secretive way.

This is the necessary exchange.

If Vladimir wants to hold his current position, he will have to pay a price.

If the original Vladimir still had patriotic convictions, now this evil ghost who is just wearing Vladimir's skin is a complete pragmatist. As long as he can sit in this position, he can exchange everything.

The military's support for him to sit on the presidency may be based on the overall belief that it is to save the country, but when it comes to individuals, especially those high-ranking generals, there must be more specific interests to appease.

It is not enough to just promote status, but also to have enough financial benefits to be satisfied.

And in order to buy off those neutrals and swingers in Red Square, a lot of money is also paid.

While the Russian people at the bottom were cheering the purge of the new government, the vast wealth was just a new owner, and the nature of the state did not change substantially, and the oligarchs still controlled the country, but in a more secretive form.

But Vladimir doesn't care about that.

All he cares about is whether his task can be completed perfectly.

He didn't know the changes in the sea of ghosts and ghosts, and he was still working diligently to clean up Dasok in Russia, thousands of miles away.

It's a pretty trivial job.

Dasok has infiltrated all aspects of Russia, and if you want to completely eliminate this organization, it is not something that can be solved by a stormy coup d'état, and you must work harder on weekdays.

And in order to do this, it is necessary to firmly control the power in Russia, to achieve the centralization that Yerich could not do, and to achieve centralization, you have to spend more energy on this, which in turn will inevitably affect the work of eliminating Dassok.

Vladimir felt that without three or five or seven years, it would probably be impossible to complete this task.

After this understanding, he simply put down his mind and focused on clearing and consolidating power first, laying the foundation first, and then completely solving the problem of Dasok.

However, he was still a little uneasy in his heart, a little worried that Zhou Yang would not be able to understand his approach, and would misunderstand that he was obsessed with human power and forgot his fundamental task.

So when he found out that Zhou Yang suddenly appeared in the office, the panicked Vladimir stood up and almost didn't fall directly behind the chair.

"Mr. Zhou, Mr. Zhou, why are you here?"

Vladimir greeted him and quickly organized the words in his mind, so that if Zhou Yang was to blame, he would be able to defend himself as completely as possible.

Zhou Yang looked around at the famous office.

He hadn't been here before, but he had seen it on the TV news and had some impressions, so he was able to teleport over directly.

"Yes, it looks like you're doing a pretty good job as president."

According to the original history, it would take a few years for Vladimir to enter the Kremlin, and it would take nearly a decade to secure his position.

But now, Vladimir not only became the master ahead of schedule, but also his position and power are far from being comparable to those in his previous life.

He brought all of this.

Zhou Yang was a little emotional.

This is one of the ironclad proofs that he changed history.

It is also one of the evidences that he can change the established destiny.

But Vladimir misunderstood what Zhou Yang meant, and hurriedly explained: "Mr. Zhou, listen to me, I'm not obsessed with this senseless power in the world, but I need to mobilize more forces to get rid of Dasok, I can only ......"

"Okay, you've done a good job, keep working hard, I'm not here to ask the master." Zhou Yang waved his hand and interrupted Vladimir, "I'm going to go to the Great Caucasus Mountain, where it is said that there is a very unusual ruin, do you have any relevant information here?" ”

"Please wait!" Vladimir breathed a sigh of relief, quickly walked to the table, picked up the phone and dialed.

Ten minutes later, someone brought a thick stack of files.

A colonel of the KGB explained on the spot.

This stack of dossiers is all about some bizarre events in the depths of the Greater Caucasus Mountains.

Located in the northern part of the Greater Caucasus Mountains, there is an area with a radius of about 300 kilometers, which is shrouded in dense clouds all year round, and even spy satellites cannot photograph anything under the clouds.

Locals call it the Land of Death, and anyone who enters the area will never come back alive.

During the time of the Red Empire, in order to find out the situation in the realm of death, a regiment of mountain infantry was sent to investigate deeply, but after the entire regiment entered the realm of death, all of them lost contact and never came out again.

The simple and rude Maozi naturally could not tolerate such an out-of-control area in the territory, and immediately threw a small nuclear bomb down.

But the nuclear bomb still didn't even make a sound when it went in.

In the end, the Russian government could only pinch its nose and admit that there was such a piece of land that could not be investigated clearly for the time being, and it existed on its own territory.

This area is located deep in the Greater Caucasus Mountains, there are basically no roads to get to, and the nearest village is 500 kilometers away.

Before entering, the infantry regiment built a camp in the outer part of the Dead Territory, where helicopters could take off and land.

As for the specific photo information, there is no such thing as a photo.

It is said that someone tried to take pictures of the Death Realm outside, but the pictures they got back were all blank without exception.

"O realm of death, let me take a look."

Zhou Yang felt that it was very likely that it was the place where Shi Changsheng had been and where he finally betrayed the plane manager.

Since Zhou Yang had this wish, Vladimir did not dare to delay in the slightest, and immediately arranged to send Zhou Yang to the nearest military base by military plane, and then transfer to a helicopter to fly to the camp outside the country of death.

When Zhou Yang sat on the helicopter and condescendingly observed the camp, which had been abandoned for many years, he was surprised to find that there were people in the camp.

And not one or two, but many people, to say the least, hundreds.

They were dressed in a variety of ways, and they all looked like civilians, but all of them had short canes of similar shapes in their hands.

Staffs.

They had staves in their hands.

These are mages.

In the center of the camp hung a bright red flag with a hideous beast's head depicted on it.

"It's a mage organization called the Beast God." The accompanying officer introduced loudly, "They suddenly came here half a month ago, saying that they wanted to capture an unprecedented strange beast, and they have stayed until now, there are more and more people, but they have not seen what they do." ”

This is something that Vladimir did not provide.

Or Vladimir and the KGB under him do not know what is going on here.

Zhou Yang thought to himself that Vladimir's position did not seem to be as secure as it seemed, and his control over the army was not as solid as he thought.

This mage organization called the Beast God was able to gather and do things under the nose of the army using abandoned barracks, and it would not make sense to say that the local garrison did not know anything about it, and it was impossible for the officer accompanying him to introduce the situation directly.

It is a strange thing in itself that there has been no reaction from the army in such a mysterious and sensitive area.

You must know that the small countries around the Greater Caucasus Mountains are all fighting for independence, especially Chechnya, and various paramilitary operations are becoming more and more frequent.

It sounds strange that the region is close to the Chechen and Russian garrisons, and that so many people are gathered together and the local garrisons are not at all guarded.

The helicopter hovering in the air caught the attention of the mages in the camp.

They pointed their fingers in the air, and some of them ran into the barracks at a brisk pace.

Soon a bearded man in a white-robed robe with gold edges ran out of the barracks, frowned and looked at the helicopter, and with a wave of his staff, the whole person turned into a cloud of smoke and rose up, and the next moment he had already appeared in the helicopter.

The smoke cleared, and the bearded man sat down beside Zhou Yang, looked at the accompanying officers with his staff, and said loudly: "I think we have negotiated with General Ivanovich, can't three million dollars buy even a year's free movement time?" Or does he feel that he has little money and wants to raise the price? Please tell General Ivanovich that we are willing to pay not because we are afraid of him, but because we want to have less trouble and save more time on business. But if General Ivanovich is not satisfied and wants more unreasonable demands, then we can only regret to tell him that this is simply impossible. ”

The bearded man's attitude is not very good, and he looks puffed out.

However, the accompanying officer didn't care about his emotions at all, and didn't seem to hear his complaints, but simply said: "Master Asapov, this is Mr. Zhou from Moscow, I was just ordered to send him over, I don't care about anything else, you don't need to complain to us, three million dollars is a lot?" Without our permission, you think you can just stay in such a military powerhouse? I have to remind you one more thing, the general has leased this place to you for a year, but not to you, and we have the right to come here and let you leave early, so pay attention to your attitude. ”

The bearded man glared at the officer, clucking the staff in his hand.

But the officer directly treated him as air, and just turned his head to Zhou Yang and said: "I'm really sorry, Mr. Zhou, I can only send you here, the situation here has changed too much, there is no way to land, I will give you a rope, you can climb the rope and land." ”

"No, you can't!" The bearded man raised his voice in opposition, "I don't care who he is, he can't set foot in our camp, we've been preparing for so long, and he can easily ruin our preparations when he enters, causing the capture to be completely invalid!" ”

"You can't object to this, it's the will of the Kremlin. Master Asapov, I have to remind you, even if you are a mage, you are a powerful organization, please restrain yourself, now is not the same as before, don't think that the mage organization can go sideways, can you still be stronger than Dasok? Dastok was completely cleaned. Believe me, if the one in the Kremlin is provoked, all the beast gods and birds will be ruthlessly wiped out! ”

The accompanying officer turned his head to Zhou Yang and said, "Mr. Zhou, what do you need?" ”

Zhou Yang shook his head, got up and walked to the hatch, and jumped down.

The accompanying officer was startled and almost jumped off with him.

Fortunately, he pulled back in time.

Because he saw that Zhou Yang, who had jumped off the cliff, had landed safely, as if he was wearing an invisible parachute.

"It turns out that he is also a mage!" The bearded Asapov couldn't help muttering, and he didn't answer the accompanying officer, and with a wave of his staff, he once again turned into a cloud of smoke and disappeared into the helicopter, and then appeared next to Zhou Yang, "Mage from the East, what do you want to do here?" This is not suitable for you to appear, you better leave as soon as possible, otherwise when the monster appears, you will not be able to leave even if you want to. ”

"Monsters? Will there be monsters in this? Zhou Yang was a little skeptical, "Is it self-grown in the forest?" ”

"It's none of your business." The bearded Asapov said unhappily, "This is the beast god doing business, and the idle mages should stay away, don't delay things!" ”

"I'm not interested in monsters and mythical beasts, I just want to come ......"

Before Zhou Yang could finish his words, he heard an angry roar from the forest in the realm of death in front of him.

Heavy footsteps rolled like thunder against the ground.

The sound of trees breaking and falling is continuous, from far and near.

There was an earth-shattering howl, and a black shadow burst out of the forest like lightning and rushed straight into the camp.

"The target is here, get ready!"

The bearded Asapov immediately ignored Zhou Yang, held his staff high and shouted loudly, and as soon as he lifted his robe, he ran directly towards the black shadow, and fought with the black shadow with a bang.

The mages who had been lazily resting in the camp jumped up one after another, and regardless of their age, they all ran to their rightful positions with great agility.

In the blink of an eye, a magic circle was finished.

The mages raised their staffs and chanted incantations.

Streams of light shot out from the tip of the staff, weaving together a shimmering web above the shadows.

The light net fell immediately, enveloping the black shadow in it!
