The film starts with the Navy SEALs

The cold wind from Siberia seemed to be howling from the depths of hell, sweeping across every inch of the Russian military base with overwhelming force. The thick walls of the temporary headquarters could not help but tremble slightly under the impact of the fierce wind, as if they could not bear the weight and were in danger of collapsing at any time.

Inside the headquarters, the dim light flickered in the raging wind, like a solitary lamp in a storm, which could go out at any time, casting a depressing and weird atmosphere over the entire room. Shakova sat in front of a desk piled with documents, her brows twisted into a knot, concentrating on studying the tracking report on Pavel in her hand. Her fingers mechanically tapped the table, making a rhythmic "click" sound, and each tap seemed to be questioning the mystery of the failure of the pursuit operation in the past four months. The pair of originally bright eyes were now bloodshot, revealing deep fatigue and confusion. Pavel was like an illusory shadow, escaping from their carefully laid net again and again. Who was the black hand behind it? This made her feel extremely confused and frustrated.

Suddenly, a loud noise broke the silence in the room, and the door was slammed open by a powerful force. The huge impact made the hinges on the door groan in pain. Shakova was so shocked that she almost jumped up from her chair. The pen in her hand fell to the ground in panic, making a crisp "click" sound. She raised her head suddenly, and saw Colonel Kechuan and Nowen standing at the door with grim expressions like ghosts flashing out of the darkness. The passes of these two people had been revoked, and they were strictly prohibited from entering the temporary command center. Their sudden appearance at this moment was like two huge rocks thrown into a calm lake, which instantly made Shakova fall into extreme shock, with unbelievable surprise and deep confusion written on her face.

However, when her eyes touched the black muzzles of the guns in the hands of the two men, the blood in her body seemed to be frozen into ice in an instant, and a bone-chilling chill quickly rushed up her spine from the soles of her feet, causing her body to tremble involuntarily. She subconsciously wanted to resist, but the cold muzzle seemed to emit a deadly deterrent from hell, like an invisible shackle, firmly imprisoning her in place, her body was stiff as if she was cast under a spell, and she dared not move at all. Shakova had worked with Colonel Kechuan and Novin before, and she knew very well how fierce and powerful the two men were. In such a desperate situation, she was like a weak and helpless lamb, placed in front of two hungry wolves, and had no chance of resistance at all.

"We know there is a traitor in the Russian military base, who has been secretly leaking information. We didn't expect that the traitor is you." Colonel Kechuan's voice was low and cold, as if it was wrapped in the freezing cold outside. Every word was like a sharp ice knife, hitting Shakova's heart hard. His eyes revealed a complex emotion of anger and disappointment, as if he was accusing Shakova of betraying their mutual trust.

"I have long suspected it was you." Novin's words were even more direct, like a sharp arrow shooting straight at Shakova. He had a firm look on his face, as if he firmly believed in his judgment without the slightest hesitation.

"You are such stupid teammates." Shakova was shocked and angry, and cursed coldly. She tried to use words to cover up her inner panic, and was also very angry about the two people's groundless accusations. Her cheeks were slightly red because of anger, and her eyes were flashing with anger, as if she was declaring her innocence to the two people.

"What did you say?" Colonel Coltrane's expression suddenly became very ugly, as gloomy as the sky before a storm. A trace of anger flashed in his eyes, which was the anger and unwillingness after being questioned. He took a step forward, and the muzzle of the gun in his hand was slightly raised, as if to warn Shakova not to try to provoke his patience.

"Am I the traitor? No, it's him." Shakova pressed down with her right hand a few times, with the muzzle of the gun pressed tightly against the general's head. The general's features twisted together in pain, and he hissed in pain, but his face remained as cold as water, as if he was suppressing his inner fear and anger.

"We chased Pavel for four months, but he always got away from us. It seemed that someone was tipping him off. But when I stopped reporting to my superiors, things changed dramatically." Shakova took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, and began to talk about the key turning point. Her voice was trembling, which was a manifestation of nervousness and excitement. She recalled those days of pursuit, and every time her hopes were dashed, she felt extremely frustrated and helpless.

"Then we caught Pavel and took back the key." Colonel Kechuan suddenly realized and told the subsequent developments on behalf of Shakova. There was a trace of regret in his eyes, as if he was annoyed that he had not noticed the strangeness before. His brows were furrowed, and he secretly reflected on his negligence in his heart, feeling deeply guilty for his misjudgment.

"Finally there is a smart one." Shakova said in a mocking tone, with a hint of disdain in her eyes. At this moment, she was full of contempt for the previous judgments of Colonel Coltrane and Novin, thinking that they were too hasty and stupid. She raised her chin slightly, with a proud look on her face, as if to show the two that she was right.

On the other side, Novin's face was a little ugly and a little embarrassed. He thought to himself, if things were really as Shakova said, then he was really a stupid teammate, being sold out and still helping to count money. Thinking of this, his face was hot, and he lowered his head in embarrassment, and he didn't say anything at this moment. His hands clenched unconsciously, his heart was full of shame and annoyance, and he felt extremely regretful for his previous blind self-confidence.

"Let him go, I'll talk to him." Colonel Kechuan chose to believe Shakova and turned his gaze to the Maozi general. His eyes revealed a kind of scrutiny, as if he wanted to find a flaw in the general's face. He slowly approached the general, his steps were steady and firm, and the muzzle of the gun in his hand was always aimed at the general's vital parts, without any relaxation.

Shakova also cooperated by releasing her hand, allowing the Russian general, who was originally pressed on the table, to raise his head and turn his face to Colonel Kechuan. The general slowly sat up and straightened his somewhat messy collar, trying to maintain his last dignity. His eyes revealed a kind of stubbornness and unwillingness. Although his conspiracy was exposed, he was still unwilling to show the slightest weakness in front of the other party.

"General? Won't you explain?" Colonel Coltrane pointed his gun at the general, and the cold muzzle seemed to say that if the general didn't give a reasonable explanation, he would pull the trigger at any time. His voice was low and powerful, full of deterrence, as if announcing to the general that his fate was in his own hands.

"I'm tired of swallowing my anger. I should have sent troops to hunt down Kuragan, but I was so humble that I asked for support from the West. It's really ironic." The general's voice was a little hoarse, with a hint of unwillingness and anger. After his identity was exposed, he no longer pretended and simply gave up. He stood up and paced back and forth in the room, becoming more and more agitated. His steps were quick and heavy, and every step seemed to vent his dissatisfaction and resentment. "Then I realized that what Pavel said was right. Russia has lost its way, and I need him to correct it." The general stopped, his eyes revealing a kind of fanaticism, as if everything he did was to save the country. From his personal point of view, he thought he was doing a patriotic thing, like a lone hero walking alone in the dark. There was a crazy light flashing in his eyes, which was a manifestation of being blinded by obsession.

Colonel Coltrane did not argue with him whether this change was good or bad, but asked the question that he had always been curious about: "What is the use of the missile launch key?" His eyes revealed an eagerness and curiosity, eager to get the answer from the general and solve the mystery in his heart.

"Haha." The general smiled at the question, with a hint of sarcasm in his smile, as if he was mocking Colonel Coltrane's ignorance. He did not intend to answer immediately, as if he wanted to use this method to maintain his last sense of mystery. He raised his head slightly, with a look of disdain on his face, as if he was showing his superiority to Colonel Coltrane.

Shakova also took one step and pointed the gun at the general's little brother. Her eyes revealed a kind of determination, and she put on a posture that if you don't cooperate, then we will make you live and die. She even imagined in her mind that she would torture the general's little brother first, so as to force the general to submit. Her finger was tightly on the trigger, and as long as the general didn't obey, she would shoot without hesitation.

The general was really afraid that these contractors would do something excessive to him. In order to protect his brother, he could only cooperate helplessly and said: "Alex Organization, a former Soviet military base located in Azerbaijan, there are also a large number of nerve gas missiles stored there, enough to destroy a city." There was a tremor in his voice, which was a manifestation of fear and helplessness. His eyes revealed a kind of despair, as if he had seen his own doomsday.

"Oh my god." Nowen exclaimed, his face full of shock. In his mind, a terrifying scene of a city reduced to ruins by the attack of nerve gas missiles instantly emerged. The tragic scene made him shudder. His body trembled slightly, his heart was filled with fear and worry, and he was extremely afraid of the impending disaster.

"No, no, no, that's impossible." Colonel Coltrane retorted, his brows knitted tightly together, his face full of doubt. "Russia has destroyed 40,000 tons of chemical weapons, destroyed them after the 1997 International Weapons Convention." He seemed to be convinced of the information he knew and could not accept the cruel fact the general said. His eyes revealed a firmness, as if he was declaring to the general that his point of view was unquestionable.

"Are all the things announced true?" The general said sarcastically with a look of "You are so innocent". His eyes revealed a kind of contempt, as if he was mocking Colonel Coltrane's naivety. "No one was watching the destruction of 40,000 tons. Who knows if anyone is lying? Destroying weapons requires a lot of money. At that special time, the whole world was in chaos. Can everyone resist the temptation? When they lied for fear of being exposed, they would hide the key where no one can find it." His voice became higher and higher, and his emotions became more and more excited, as if he was looking for a reasonable excuse for his behavior.

The general's meaning was very straightforward. Someone chose to submit a false report in order to embezzle the huge amount of money for the destruction of chemical weapons. The things were directly sealed in the warehouse, and the money went directly into their own pockets. At that time, the Soviet Union was in the process of disintegration. A huge alliance was broken into more than a dozen countries, and many things were really impossible to manage. Even if someone knew and wanted to manage it, he did not have the energy or power. At that time, even nuclear weapons were lost in large quantities, not to mention chemical weapons, which were completely incomparable to nuclear weapons and had much less power.

Therefore, when the general made this explanation, the three people present no longer had any doubts. They all felt a deep worry in their hearts, realizing that the seriousness of this matter was far beyond their imagination. Colonel Kechuan's face became very solemn, and his eyes revealed a kind of anxiety. He began to think about how to deal with the upcoming crisis. Fine beads of sweat appeared on Novin's forehead. He kept rubbing his hands, and his heart was full of anxiety and fear. Shakova's eyes revealed a kind of determination. She secretly made up her mind to prevent this disaster from happening.

"Since it was so secretive, how did Pavel know about it?" Shakova raised the biggest question in her mind. She knew Pavel's background very well. He rose step by step from the grassroots soldiers. Logically speaking, he had no way to know such a confidential matter. Her eyes revealed a kind of doubt and curiosity, eager to get an answer from the general.

"Of course I told him." The general was desperate and didn't try to hide anything. He had completely given up resistance at this moment, as if he would feel better if he told all the secrets. He had an indifferent expression on his face, as if he no longer cared about his fate.

"Hand over all the information you have about the agency and do as you are told immediately." After figuring out the cause of the matter, Shakova stopped hesitating.

A series of operations were quickly started. (End of this chapter)
