Anti-hero of a certain comic

After a long voyage of nearly half a day, Leo and others arrived in Moscow shrouded in night.

When we walked out of Sheremetyevo International Airport, the cold air hit our face like a knife, giving us a painful feeling.

Fortunately, they had already put on thick equipment in the cabin, including warm woolen coats and a plush fur hat with Moscow characteristics.

“What to do next”

Sitting in the luxury limousine specially picked up from the airport, Digel finally couldn't control his anxiety.

He glanced around the car to make sure he wouldn't be overheard.

The driver's and passenger's seats in the car are separated independently, and a thick soundproof board is raised in the middle to separate the front and rear spaces, so that each other cannot hear each other's speech.

If you need to communicate, you can use the internal intercom and ring bell to ensure the privacy of customer conversations.

The spacious carriage adopts a ring-shaped seat arrangement structure, with a light bar on the side and variable colored lights like stars on the roof.

An LCD TV is hung on the soundproof board, and there are hi-fi speakers on both sides. It is almost a miniature office.

"You said Laila lost contact in Moscow. What was her mission? Is it possible that she was targeted by the KGB, or which safe house she was staying in?"

It seems that Digel understands the procedures of the Sky Eye Association very well, and the questions raised are all very critical.

This black man who retired from the army and became an employee of a private security company met Leila Michaels while serving in Afghanistan and got married after returning home.

It's a pity that neither of them knows how to maintain a marriage. For them, the dangerous battlefield filled with smoke may be easier than the trivial life of daily necessities.

After the divorce, Laila chose to join the Sky Eye Society and became a special agent, while Diggle continued to fight overseas until he officially retired.

"I'm sorry, Laila Michaels' mission involves the internal secrets of the Sky Eye Society, and you don't have permission to know it for the time being. As for the safe house, it can be ruled out. She has already missed two regular phone reports."

Leo handed Felicity a glass of sparkling wine. The genius hacker was obviously a little nervous and had remained silent since getting off the plane.

"If she is targeted by the KGB, then Leila Michaels is basically dead. I think it is more likely that she will get involved with the Federal National Security Agency due to some accidents."

After analyzing some existing possibilities, Leo will not say more. The specific situation can only be determined after more information is obtained.

He opened the curtain covering the car window and admired Moscow at night.

This capital city in the forest, nestled in a sea of ​​green, looks quiet and beautiful.

There was no talking all the way until they arrived at their destination, which was the National Luxury Hotel where they were staying.

Entering the luxurious suite, Leo took off his woolen coat and called Felicity and Diggle together.

"I'm going to go out to collect information. You guys stay in the room."

Leo looked through the floor-to-ceiling windows at his "neighbor" just one street away, the Kremlin.

White Industries was founded in 1940 when his grandfather, Fred White, developed a new oil extraction technology, but was shunned by his peers for it.

Competing oil companies colluded with government officials to list 44 regulations to prohibit this method from being used in production.

In desperation, Fred had no choice but to run to the Soviet Union, which had not yet disintegrated, and instead became Stalin's guest.

After the two parties reached an agreement, Fred helped Stalin's government build fifteen modern crude oil refineries, amassing a huge amount of wealth, and did not return to the United States until decades later.

To put it bluntly, the entire modern oil industry in the Soviet Union was established by Leo's grandfather.

Even though the great red empire later collapsed, the White family still retained a lot of connections here.

Two hours later, Li

Ao returned to the luxury suite smelling of vodka.

If you want to make friends with Russians, all you have to do is drink or fight.

Leo obviously chose the former. After drinking endless amounts of vodka, he finally got the news about Leila Michaels from an intelligence broker who belonged to the Soncevo Brotherhood.

"She was in the Gulag and this is the picture that was taken."

Seeing Leo staggering a little, Felicity quickly did her duty as a personal assistant and handed him a glass of water.

"Gulag Prison"

Diggle exclaimed, his dark face looking solemn.

It was once a hell more terrifying than the Nazi concentration camps

As early as the Tsarist Russia, it was a traditional punishment measure of the Russian government to send prisoners to the harsh environment of Siberia to work as coolies.

After the establishment of the Soviet Union, it also inherited this tradition from Tsarist Russia and used forced labor as a means to suppress opponents and punish criminals.

In 1918, the Soviet Union established the first Gulag labor camp.

From then on, people who committed minor crimes, White Army prisoners of war in the civil war, officials accused of corruption and bribery, political opponents, dissidents, and people who made fun of the Soviet government were all sent to the Gulag labor camps indiscriminately.

According to statistics, a total of 1400 million people were thrown into the Gulag labor camps, and until these hundreds of concentration camps were closed, nearly 150 million people died there, which was as cruel as Auschwitz. Compete.

Today, the so-called Gulag is a mecca for Russian gangsters.

"Yes, it is said that during the mission, he had some conflicts with a drug lord in Moscow and was thrown into the Gulag prison."

After Li Ao drank a glass of water, his drunken eyes gradually sobered up.

He drank down four or five big Russian men in a row. This kind of record is amazing enough.

"So for this rescue mission, Felicity will be the backup, and you will be responsible for liaison with the outside world."

Leo leaned on the bed, rubbed his eyebrows with his fingers, and whispered: "I will go deep into the Gulag prison, find Leila Michaels, and then bring her out."

"no"

Digel rejected the proposal without thinking. Although he could not understand the young man in front of him, he would not sit back and watch him go to prison and risk his life.

The Gulag Prison, maybe Felicity didn't know where it was, but Diggle knew it clearly.

The most vicious violent elements, inhumane cold-blooded criminals, and numerous gangsters are imprisoned there.

Those who can live in the Gulag prison cells have basically had blood on their hands. Many godfathers of the Russian gang came out of that prison.

Otherwise, how can it be called the "Holy Land of the Underworld"?

"If one person has to go in, it should be me."

Digel said in a deep voice.

He naturally knew the risks involved, but Laila was his wife. Even though they were no longer husband and wife in the legal sense, the deep feelings would not disappear.

"I asked you, did you do something wrong?"

The corner of Leo's mouth raised and he smiled slightly, "The reason why I want to go to the Gulag in person is not out of good intentions or kindness, I just want to complete the task more easily."

"Perhaps for outsiders, it is a nightmare and hell, but in my eyes, entering the Gulag prison is like going home. The villains and murderers inside all speak nicely, and are like docile sheep. no difference."

At this moment, Leo quietly took off his gentle mask, revealing a bit of darkness.

The arrogant smile, disdainful tone, and condescending attitude made Digel, who had experienced many wars, feel inexplicably heartbroken.

It seems that the young man in front of him with his suit open and smelling of alcohol is the most feared thug.
