It was unknown how much time had passed when a rustling sound came from not far away.
The man's face lit up with delight. He stood up and looked into the distance, only to see a group of burly men, camouflaged with the surroundings, appearing before him.
"Finally, you're here!" the man said, "I've got everything ready! As for the infrared detector below, I've already misled it, so it won't detect you!"
"Thank you!" The leading Russian nodded in gratitude.
"We're all on the same side. To avoid suspicions, you'd better knock me out! It'll make it easier for me to explain later!" the man said.
"Alright!" The Russian nodded, then lifted his hand and struck the man's neck. The man's eyes rolled back and he fainted.
However, after the man fainted, the Russian took out a dagger and slowly but forcefully slit the man's throat, with a practiced hand that didn't tremble.
