The beautiful daily life of Black Light Salted Fish

This small airport near the hillside is naturally unable to accommodate any large transport aircraft. The total length of the runway is less than one kilometer, and it is a dirt road. In some sections, the grass is not even cleared. Only sturdy and durable old propeller aircraft such as An-2 can handle it. However, it is indeed very uncomfortable to sit on.

With Yuri Vostov's ability, there is obviously no need for him to humble himself like this. In front of Watson is a rare Antonov An-28 twin-engine short-range general-purpose transport aircraft, with a total global production of less than 200. Like the old An-2, it can take off and land on flat dirt roads or even grass, and its low-speed performance is very good.

Since the disintegration of the union in 1991, most of the former member states of the Soviet Union have lived in poverty. For example, Russia has difficulty maintaining the size of its nuclear submarine force and has sealed up one ship after another. It also has no money to buy the aircraft carriers it had originally ordered. Ukraine originally had a good hand of cards, but unfortunately it listened to the deception of some Western powers and cut down its nuclear arsenal, thus weakening its own weapons.

Of course, there are many other factors that influence this.

But no matter what, without this turbulent situation, it would be difficult for arms dealers like Yuri Vostov to grow bigger and stronger, and even reach out to the field of nuclear weapons. Watson thought it was ridiculous to think that he could buy tactical nuclear warheads for millions or even hundreds of thousands of dollars like in the movies - this world is even more outrageous than in the movies.

The transport plane stopped, the double cargo door at the rear opened, and two soldiers jumped out one after another.

The phone in Watson's arms began to vibrate.

He adjusted his mask and answered the phone.

"Mr. Wilson? We're here." Watson's pseudonym was read out on the phone: "Where are you? Is that you, the person leaning against the jeep on the left side in front of the nose?"

"It's me." Watson waved toward the plane.

The call was hung up, and a man in a suit quickly walked out of the plane, looked over here for a while, and walked towards Watson with his soldiers, saying something in Russian English with a strong accent: "Mr. Slade Wilson?"

"uh-huh."

The man also had his hair slicked back, and his overall look was very similar to Yuri's. From his skin, it was obvious that he took good care of himself. Watson could even smell a faint scent of perfume. To be honest, this guy's image was seriously inconsistent with his name. When Watson saw the file photo before, he had once thought that he was a rough guy.

"I'm Igor. Please come with us aboard. Just give your equipment box to the soldiers." The scrutiny in Igor's eyes was obvious, but Watson didn't care. He was used to it. He threw his luggage to the two soldiers and walked towards the plane: "Okay, let's get this done as soon as possible."

"Mr. Wilson! Welcome!"

Due to the tilted design of the tail of the fuselage, Watson could only see two legs. Yuri in the cabin squatted down, revealing a small part of his smiling face: "Excuse me, I can't leave the plane. I have to be cautious now. I have to do this."

"You come to see me in person..."

Watson sat down opposite him and took the glass: "This is a big risk."

"When I first started a business, someone had a gun pointed at my head the entire time." Yuri smiled and swirled the wine in his glass. "You have to take risks in this business, otherwise money won't fall from the sky. I'm bolder than other people in the same business, and most importantly, I'm lucky. And you're worth the risk, Mr. Slade."

"Is that him?" Watson pointed at Igor, who was peeing outside the plane window.

"Yes."

Yuri raised his glass: "This is my sincerity."

"Sincerity." Watson praised the other party. They raised their glasses and took a sip. Yuri stared at the beautiful face with the mask removed in front of him, and said with emotion: "I can't believe it. You know? When I first saw you, I thought you were just a child. You should be a star. I still think so now."

"Let's change the subject." Watson shook his head and put on his mask again: "Tell me about your competitor. His name is Grigoriev, right? He is a Ukrainian like you?"

"Yes, and he is bolder and has no bottom line than me." Yuri put down his glass and started to get to the point: "Do you remember my former deputy Andre? He was the guy who betrayed me on the cargo ship in Brazil. Later I found out that Grigoriev had a lot of tricks in it, including the assassin attack on me before, which left only two bodyguards around me. It was all a plan arranged by him and the federal guys."

"Killer?"

"Yes, we met him at the back door of a hotel. He was wearing a suit, like a real businessman. Then he suddenly pulled out a gun and killed two of my men. Fortunately, I reacted quickly."

“I’ve heard of these people.”

Watson showed some curiosity that was appropriate for his age and appearance. Apart from Michelle, Nisha and "Aunt Peggy", who were close to him, he was almost accustomed to disguising his true character in front of others. "But I have never dealt with them. My work is usually on the battlefield, although occasionally in the city."

"The city is also a battlefield, their battlefield, and it has always been like this." Yuri poured himself another glass of wine. "Killers, soldiers, and prostitutes, the oldest professions in human history. Okay, this statement is not accurate, but I really think it makes sense... Especially after I started selling arms."

After saying that, he smiled and raised an eyebrow at Watson: "I'm not kidding, Mr. Slade, but I think your image is very suitable for being a killer. It's too deceptive."

"Sorry! We were delayed!"

At this moment, Igor walked into the cabin with a wet towel and said, "I'll let them take off right away."

The two soldiers behind him closed the hatch, and the engine noise immediately dropped a level. However, Watson did not intend to continue the previous topic, but turned back and said, "Let me see Grigoriev's information."

"Of course, please see."

Yuri held out a folder.

Opening the cover, a fierce face appeared before my eyes.

This is quite consistent with imagination.

The plane beneath me began to turn around and realign itself to the end of the takeoff runway. As the engine speed increased sharply, the wheels rolling on the uneven road surface caused the entire fuselage to vibrate.

But soon, Watson felt his body lighten. After a brief feeling of weightlessness, the An-28 successfully flew into the sky and headed towards the distant Caucasus Mountains.

The conversation in the cabin stopped temporarily.

Yuri thought that the handsome boy opposite was studying the assassination target, but Watson was actually doing two things at once. While reading the documents, he was thinking about a small village somewhere in the Caucasus Mountains.

Yes, Umbrella may have a secret base nearby.

As a large group with facilities all over the world, Umbrella naturally has a branch in Russia. However, due to the constraints of Hydra's competitor Leviathan in Russia, Umbrella did not allocate too many resources to the Russian branch, but rather used it as a stronghold to assist Hydra in its fight against Leviathan.

Therefore, the main task of the Russian branch has become selling drugs. The T virus experiment consumes a huge amount of manpower and material resources, and Leviathan is hanging around outside the house. They can't let them get the samples easily, so they simply don't do it.

Considering that the situation of the Umbrella Group in this world is different, the supreme leader has changed from one of the founders, Oswell Earl Spencer, to Madame Viper Ophelia Sarkistan, so the existence of this secret base in the Caucasus is questionable.

Because it was made by old man Spencer himself.

In the game's plot, after the Raccoon City incident broke out in 1998, the entire Umbrella Group faced a life-and-death crisis. Spencer was actively trying to remedy the situation at first, but later, seeing that there was no hope of a comeback, he quickly shut down and abandoned the company's facilities around the world, integrated all available resources, and played a game of survival by cutting off one's arm.

As he was on an international wanted warrant, after getting rid of this mess, he completely hid his whereabouts and arranged for his confidants to buy an abandoned chemical plant from the former Soviet era in the Caucasus region and transform it into a biochemical virus laboratory so that he could continue to advance his plan of developing a virus to achieve physical ascension.

Considering his aging body that was plagued by serious illness, this approach was considered to be the most efficient.

Therefore, Watson must find out whether Spencer is causing trouble in the Caucasus region. Umbrella's usual practice is to arrest people from surrounding areas. If there is really a secret base, it should still be under construction during this period, and it is impossible to completely cover up the movement.

There is a real chance that Spencer could do so.

This person is very ambitious and has a strong desire for control.

In addition to his obsession with studying the Progenitor virus, he was also ruthless in framing other founders of the Umbrella Group and excluding dissidents to monopolize power. He would kill old friends of many years at will.

As for Lady Viper...

Madame Viper did not participate in the founding of Umbrella, but how could Hydra let go of such high-quality assets? She had contacted several Umbrella founders including Spencer early on, secretly providing various support to help Umbrella grow into a multinational pharmaceutical group.

Hydra naturally has bad intentions in providing so much help. Gradually infiltrating and seizing control is what they are best at. Not to mention Umbrella, even SHIELD can take it down. Naturally, the control of the Umbrella Group unknowingly fell into the hands of Madame Viper, who led the infiltration operation. She is no worse than old man Spencer in fighting for power and profit.

In the end, Spencer, who was unable to defeat his opponent, had to withdraw from the North American headquarters.

He acted decisively, just like how he quickly abandoned Umbrella after the Raccoon City tragedy.

You can imagine how much Spencer and Ophelia don't get along.

But why do they say bad guys always get away with it? After all, as the founder of Umbrella, Spencer is very good at business management and using dirty tricks, and he has accumulated a lot of confidants and connections in the past. He still maintains a strong influence on the European branches.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to successfully escape from Ophelia's pursuit.

With these important chips, Spencer decisively went to find several other Hydra leaders and actually found a way out for himself.

Ophelia does not have the final say in Hydra alone. Faced with her covetous peers, she can only soften her attitude towards Spencer and acquiesce to the other party's confidant Sergei Vladimir to continue to serve as commander at Umbrella's North American headquarters, and the two sides maintain superficial harmony.

So you better actually be there.

You have no leverage now.

Watson looked at the Caucasus Mountains outside the plane window and gently closed the folder.
