The canyon landscape is a characteristic of Utah. There are Canyonlands National Park, Rocky Mountain Valley and Red Rock Canyon. Red-brown rocks can be seen everywhere. They look like they have been severely eroded by wind and water. They are steep and strange, but they are also a hobby for rock climbing.
The holy place of
Dead Horse Point State Park, on the red rock wall, a vigorous figure is hanging on the rock wall. Ethan Hunter does not have any safety measures on his body. Yes, he is doing free-handed rock climbing, the most popular extreme sports.
A dangerous kind.
"This madman..."
Standing on the top of the rock, Owen looked at the footage from the drone. Although he was also an extreme sports enthusiast, he rarely did free climbing because the mortality rate was too high.
It does not rely on any safety equipment and only relies on hands and feet throughout the process. In other words, no mistakes are allowed during the rock climbing process. This can indeed give a great sense of accomplishment, but again, those who can complete it are all intermediate and masters, and even if they are
A master cannot guarantee that he will never make a mistake, and the price of making a mistake is death.
"You mean you are facing off against the Syndicate and Solomon Lane this time?"
Ethan held his fingers firmly in the gap and tried it while chatting with Owen through the earphones.
"Yes."
Owen greatly admired this guy's big heart. Extreme sports enthusiasts also had levels, and Ethan's level was undoubtedly higher than his.
"We were targeted by him. Half an hour after both parties revealed their identities, the guy launched an attack on the plane I was traveling on. I almost died..."
The speed of Solomon Lane's revenge really left a deep impression on Owen. He had committed many crimes, but there were not many people like Lane who did not take revenge overnight.
This gave Owen a more comprehensive understanding of Ryan's character, but it also strengthened Owen's determination to kill him. With such a powerful and vengeful enemy, Owen didn't want to live in fear every day.
A thief can't always guard against a thief, not to mention that the other person may be thinking about his family, so the best way is to kill him once and for all.
"Sorry, the help I can provide is very limited..."
Ethan gasped for breath. He was now hanging on a rock crevice by the fingers of both hands. Almost all the weight of his body was supported by a few fingers. The rock wall in front was smooth and complete, and there was nothing to draw on.
place.
As Ethan spoke, his eyes were looking around for the next place to stay, and finally his eyes fell on a rock crevice one meter away from him, but if he wanted to get there, he could only jump over, there was no other way.
Hanging with one hand, Ethan moved his free hand, and then switched it so that the other hand could rest.
His eyes swept over the crack in the rock, looking all the way up. The game of freehand rock climbing is like playing chess. Not only does he have to look at the next step, he even has to see many steps below, because every step he makes is basically
It is irreversible, and if you make a mistake, you will put yourself in a dangerous situation.
The drone transmitted Ethan's situation back, and Owen shut his mouth. He didn't want Ethan to fall to his death because he was distracted by chatting with him.
After Ethan moved his hands a little, he suddenly jumped up to the rock crevice. When he saw Ethan hanging steadily on the rock wall, a feeling of relief spread throughout his body, which was caused by dopamine and adrenal glands.
The pleasure after hormone secretion is also the ultimate enjoyment pursued by extreme athletes.
From Owen's point of view, Ethan's entire process was no different from committing suicide. If his movements had been slightly wrong or the crack in the rock was not strong enough, he would have turned into a puddle of rotten flesh on the ground.
Ethan was huddled in a horizontal crack at this time, relying on his knees to support the main cliff wall, completely freeing his hands to rest. The action just now seemed simple, but in fact it was a great consumption of physical strength, especially
His hands.
After solving the most difficult part, the conversation between the two continued again.
"The current situation of the IMF is not very good. After Jonathan took office, he appointed the original deputy director Walter Abbott as the new CIA director. The IMF team is directly led by this guy. This guy is a staunch anti-IMF. He once
More than once, I suggested to the president to disband the imf. I mentioned the syndicate to him several times, but he strictly prohibited me from investigating, and in order to prevent me from acting privately, he also sent people to monitor the imf team members 24 hours a day..."
Owen curled his lips and looked at the way Ethan pointed to the sky in the screen. He also raised his head, but it was in vain. Even if the other party used a drone or satellite, he couldn't see it.
When he said this, Ethan had already climbed up a short distance quickly. After crossing the most difficult part, the rest was child's play for him. Even without the safety rope, it was still as smooth as walking on flat ground.
Snap~
Ethan successfully climbed to the top. Owen stretched out a hand and pulled Ethan up. The guy stood on the top of the rock and looked at the magnificence around him, and a sense of pride filled his heart.
"We are being closely watched, and what we can find out is very limited. We don't know the whereabouts of Solomon Lane. This guy is like a ghost, but I can give you a name, Jacques Winter, nicknamed 'Orthopedics'
Doctor', this person is a former Russian Federal Security Service agent. There is intelligence showing that he was involved in many things Lane did..."
…
At some point, Owen opened the door and entered the room, and there were everyone from Omega sitting in the room. Monica had left the team early when she returned to China yesterday. She was still a mother and had children who needed his care.
Seeing everyone's probing eyes, Owen spread his hands: "Ethan can provide not much information, there is only one name, Jacques Winter..."
On the computer in front of Sha Baitian, the photos on the screen were changing rapidly. This was because he had hacked into the official system and was using cloud computing and his own algorithms to sift through a large number of images from various surveillance cameras, trying to find Solomon Lane.
traces.
The search for Solomon Lane has been going on for several days, but nothing has been found. After Shabaitian heard Winter's name and checked it online, Winter's photos and information appeared on the computer.
Looking at Winter's series of information, especially when the status was marked as "missing", everyone in Omega was almost certain that this guy was a member of the Syndicate, because the Syndicate is a group of missing agents and defected agents.
organization.
After a silly operation, Winter was also added to the cloud comparison on facial recognition. As long as his face is photographed by an American surveillance camera, it will be compared.
But this comparison requires a process, and Omega can only wait patiently. Originally, Owen was still worried about Omega's future, but now this matter has been put on hold. The sudden attack of the Syndicate made Omega twist into a rope.
…
I forgot to mention before, the African plot refers to "Blood Diamond", "Wolf Warriors 1 and 2", "Operation Red Sea", "Lord of War", "Hotel Rwanda", "Rambo 3", "Dragon Squad", "Suicide Squad" and others
The documentary "Bad Boys Alliance", because I only planned to write about the plot of Africa this time, so I messed up a lot and it was a bit messy to watch.
