After Bunin entered, he ignored his distinguished guests and went straight to the bar to sit down. Without even saying a word, a glass of good wine that he wanted to drink was delivered to him.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the auction will be held as scheduled in two days." He said slowly: "Instead of thinking about it, it is better to raise money as soon as possible. The competition will be fierce this year. Also, you are right, whoever touches me

Daughter, I will throw him into the incinerator alive!"

The VIPs suddenly changed their expressions. Okinets glanced at the waiters standing respectfully by the bar. Those beautiful blond girls wearing navy blue waitress uniforms still stood with their chests high and looked ready to serve the guests at any time.

But if you look at them more carefully, they look like a bunch of sharpened arrows.

Beer and vodka were served, the guests resumed their laughter, and the game of 'Bear Claw' continued, as if what happened just now had never happened at all.

They really don't need to think too much, this city just looks quiet and warm, but it is still a fortress.

And Alexander Bunin is the only one who means what he says here.

At least that's what they think so far.

…

At the edge of the virgin pine forest, a man stood on a tall Siberian pine, his thick black felt clothes rising and falling in the cold wind.

Next to him is a girl with a ponytail wearing a black combat uniform.

Lancelot and Susie said nothing, just looking towards the end of the horizon. There, the dim light of City 023 was particularly eye-catching in the hard darkness.

To be able to get here, they certainly had powerful enough means of transportation, but they were left behind far away, and the last part of the journey was entirely based on snow marching.

No one is sure what detection equipment is buried near City 023. Walking is the most concealed way.

A commissioner hurriedly came to the tree and said, "Commissioner Lancelot, we found it!"

Lancelot and Susie looked at each other and fell silently into the snow, with their sleeves spread out like a black flying fox.

They followed the commissioner, and not far away they saw the Russian branch chief and a group of commissioners gathered together.

The commissioners stepped out of the way and allowed the two men to walk to the snow pit. The branch chief shined his flashlight downwards. In the snow pit was an open iron box, and inside the box was a telephone.

It is the oldest type of field phone that uses copper wires to transmit signals. It has no extra functions and can only allow you to say a few words to someone.

Near City 023, the electromagnetic interference is very strong, and all communications with the outside world are cut off, but there is such a landline phone buried.

In the era when radio was not yet developed, during wars, communications troops would lay dozens of kilometers of copper wires, so that orders from the headquarters could be smoothly transmitted to the frontline trenches.

Although it is an outdated technology, it can avoid the electromagnetic shielding of City 023.

The person who buried this phone was extremely clever and used the military railway used by Bunin as a conductor, avoiding the hard work of laying hundreds or even thousands of kilometers of telephone lines in the snowy fields.

Lancelot grabbed the phone and waited quietly without dialing until the lazy voice on the other side of the phone rang.

--"Commissioner Lancelot, I'm glad to receive your call. How was your journey?"

Lancelot replied: "According to your intelligence, we have found city No. 023 and can launch an attack at any time."

"Attack? Oh my god! Did I send you to attack a city?" You can hear the fuss on the other party's face from the voice. "I sent you to save the world. It's just a small matter like saving the world."

! Just help me kill Lu Mingfei, kill him quietly, and then exit. It's best not to alert other people."

Lancelot was silent for a moment, "The security in that city should be very tight, and it will inevitably alert other people."

"Oh, it's really troublesome." The man sighed, "It doesn't matter. Just kill anyone who stops you. They're not important people anyway."

"..." Lancelot wanted to say that there was another monster there.

He has become accustomed to this man's casualness. His temperament cannot even be said to be casual, but rather wild and wild.

"You may find it a bit tricky, but that guy is actually in a very weak period. Don't worry about him transforming. If he really transforms, he will only die faster." The other party said: "As for what you are worried about.

The other person, unfortunately, I’m not sure I can kill him, but it’s no problem to contain him for a while.”

"Understood." Lancelot's answer was still concise and powerful.

"But the body must be brought back. It's such a dangerous thing. Who knows he won't come back from the dead?"

"Understood." Lancelot continued.

"Then I wish you good luck. Become a hero and save the world. You will enjoy your old age with your beloved fiancée." The man hung up the phone.

Only then did Susie say: "Do you really believe what he said?"

Lancelot crushed the phone with a little more force, threw the pieces into the snow, and his heavy expression turned into a smile, "Of course not."

Susie laughed silently. The person on the phone thought they knew them well and issued the final order just now, but they didn't know that they had no intention of obeying the order.

They just wanted to try their best to compete with that man again, that's all.

…

When he woke up, Lu Mingfei thought it was late at night because when he opened the curtains, it was pitch dark outside.

But looking at the small enamel clock on the wall, it was already ten o'clock in the morning.

He opened the window and was surprised when the snow as thick as the wall fell off the glass. Skylight and wind and snow poured into the room together, revealing a crystal clear world outside.

The snowstorm that started last night buried the entire city 023 under thick snow. Even the gray cement walls seemed to be covered with a thick layer of chalk, and the basketball hoop on the playground was half submerged.

Lu Mingfei opened the door. There was a brass car parked at the door, and several white porcelain plates covered with sterling silver lids.

That was his breakfast. After arriving in City No. 023, breakfast was always delivered like this. He could eat it at any time. It came with a small alcohol stove for heating and enjoying. It was very comfortable.

Obviously, the fierce snowstorm did not affect the considerate services in City 023, and everything was operating as usual.

Just when Lu Mingfei was drinking warm black tea and admiring the snow, and was about to cut his fork into the noodles, someone pushed open the door.

Christina wore a long serge dress with a high collar and a pair of stiff high boots, and walked in vigorously,

"The GRU troops can't come!" Christina rushed to the window and looked outside solemnly, "With this weather, the train will definitely not be able to pass!"

Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment and understood her worries.

She must have been carrying a tracker or something like that so that the special forces could follow her.

But in such bad weather, the railway tracks were covered with several meters of snow. Even a powerful jet train could not break away, and the armored train of the special forces was equally powerless.

The wind and snow are still going on, and transportation such as snowmobiles and helicopters are of no use. Unless you follow fixed markings such as railroad tracks, driving a snowmobile on this frozen no-man's land is tantamount to suicide.
