The End of the World: Chaos

Pushkin frowned slightly and stared at Ruth in front of him. The surroundings were dark, and the walls of the basement were covered with various files and photos, as if silently telling the secrets hidden behind them.

The atmosphere at the moment was tense and mysterious, and he felt a little annoyed. He asked slowly, "Ruth, if I find anything unusual about SHIELD, should I report it immediately?"

Ruth pondered for a moment, looking through the gap in the curtains at the cloudy sky outside, obviously thinking about the situation outside. "If you notice any suspicious movements or any abnormal behavior, of course you must report it immediately. SHIELD is not just a pushover." She said firmly, obviously in awe of SHIELD's power.

Pushkin nodded, but a nameless anxiety passed through his heart. "It's just that I always feel that some of SHIELD's recent actions are really mysterious and they seem to be hiding something." His eyes fell on a drawing on the wall with several important locations marked on it, and he couldn't help but feel more confused.

Ruth tilted her head, her eyes flickering: "Are you suspecting that they have some secret plan? If so, we must be extra vigilant to avoid being secretly controlled by them." She walked to the wall, took down a folder, and flipped through the documents in it with a focused expression.

"I'm not just suspicious." Pushkin suddenly felt uneasy, "I just think that some things are not as simple as they seem. For example, why did the mysterious Red Skull interact with Yang Yi? His identity is vague and his intentions are unclear, but we do need to be vigilant about this."

Ruth stopped what she was doing and thought, "The sudden appearance of the Red Skull is indeed puzzling, but I think the key lies in Yang Yi's attitude. If he can deal with Rumlow, then his relationship with the Red Skull cannot be underestimated. If he really regards the Red Skull as a fellow traveler, he cannot let down his guard easily."

"So, how should we respond?" Pushkin felt a heavy pressure and was full of thoughts.

Ruth raised her head with a firm expression: "Continue to monitor their movements, especially the interaction between Red Skull and Yang Yi. If we can get favorable intelligence at the critical moment, we can react in advance. Remember, the most important thing now is to protect yourself, while also taking care of others."

Pushkin wanted to ask whether protecting oneself and others would conflict, but this was not the time to discuss it. He just nodded silently, indicating that he understood.

"Tsk..." Ruth sighed softly, as if she understood his uneasiness. She returned the folder to the wall and said slowly, "Sometimes we have to bravely face the unknown. Just like the current situation, although we cannot predict the future, we should not retreat now that we have embarked on this path."

"Well said." Pushkin's mouth slightly raised, but his heart was still heavy. He tried to dispel those negative emotions and asked: "What is our plan next?"

Ruth thought for a moment before slowly saying, "We need to set up surveillance so that we can keep track of the movements of Red Skull and Yang Yi at all times and collect as much detail as possible about their words and actions. At the same time, we need to monitor the movements of S.H.I.E.L.D., especially whether they will react to the appearance of Red Skull."

Pushkin nodded repeatedly: "I understand. I can do all of this. Is there anything else I need to pay extra attention to?"

"Try to keep a low profile and avoid attracting unnecessary attention. The members of SHIELD appear calm on the surface, but their reaction and investigation skills are extremely sophisticated." Ruth said seriously, "Our first priority is to ensure our own safety. Don't leave them any chance."

Pushkin considered her words carefully, and a little respect rose in his heart: "You are thoughtful, and I will do my best to comply with it."

"I believe you can do it." Ruth smiled slightly, just like a ray of dawn that dispelled the haze and illuminated the corner of the basement. "Your observation ability has always been sharp. I hope you can maintain this state. I firmly believe that we will eventually uncover the truth between Yang Yi and the Red Skull."

Pushkin vowed to himself and whispered, "I will proceed cautiously, Ruth. But since we need to observe a lot, do you think Yang Yi will notice our actions?"

This made Ruth fall into deep thought. After a moment, a firm light flashed in her eyes: "Yang Yi is definitely not a pawn of SHIELD. If we want to fully control him, we must pay close attention to his every move. Since he can fight with Rumlow skillfully, we must also remain flexible and adaptable."

"I understand." Pushkin praised, clenched his fists, and felt the nerves in his body gradually tense up. "We must capture all possible intelligence before the enemy makes a move."

Ruth nodded, her eyes sharp. "In the next few hours, you must remain vigilant. No matter what happens, you must not allow yourself to reveal any flaws. The peace we have now depends entirely on our careful and thorough arrangements."

Pushkin took a deep breath, knowing that the challenge ahead would not be easy. He wanted to play a unique role in this complex game and become a force that could not be ignored. As Ruth's plan gradually took shape in her mind, they knew that every step forward would be full of risks.

He wanted to help his companions and defend his beliefs in this turbulent time until all the truth was revealed under the sun.
