The Blacklist

Chapter 403: The Town Destroys the Plastic Surgeon Killer

Carrie didn't know when Tom and Nez would take action, and neither did Susan. But after half a month, both sides began to get anxious - the longer it dragged on, the greater the danger for the two!
October 10, Sunday, 14 p.m. in Washington, 15 a.m. in Moscow. Kerry seemed to have a premonition, and he did not leave the post office that afternoon, waiting for something...
-
Late at night in a small Russian town, Tom and Nez, who had made an appointment in advance, left their "home" at the same time and sneaked into the city hall. After knocking down three lax guards, they easily took control of the command center.

However, Tom overlooked one thing. When he left "home", his "wife" Xia, who shared the same bed with him, also opened her eyes - in a small town where everyone is a spies and agents, there are no ordinary people!

Tom and Nez activated the command center's communication system and contacted the Halcyon headquarters in New York. Due to time constraints, they could only quickly and briefly report the situation they had discovered. Just as they mentioned that Nez's "brother" Pete had been sent to the United States with others a few days ago, the signal was interrupted!

Because of Xia's report, the town commander took action, cut off the power and network of the command center, and sent armed guards to attack...
-
In the communications room of Halcyon Shield, Engineer Dumont, who had been sticking to his post, received the communication between the two people first. Before he could say anything, the signal was cut off!
After receiving Dumont's report, Susan immediately informed Carrie of the situation. She knew that her own strength in Russia was not enough at this time, so she hoped that Carrie would take action!
After Carrie received Susan's call, he immediately contacted Reddington and asked him to notify a prepared action team to take action immediately and rescue Tom! Then he informed SER of the entry of Peter and other Russian agents and asked them to start looking for them immediately...

Because the clues were timely and Elizabeth was personally responsible, SER, together with DHS and FBI, blocked and killed three "Independence Town" agents including Pete before they launched a car bomb attack! ——
In the Russian town, Tom and Nez are trapped in the underground command center. The town’s armed guards begin placing explosives outside the gate of the command center in preparation for the explosion. The situation is extremely critical!
At this critical moment, a seven-member armed team suddenly launched an attack on the town guards. Two of the snipers performed outstandingly and caught the town guards off guard...

Ten minutes later, Tom and Nez successfully rushed out of the city hall and met up with the mercenary team that came to pick them up. They were escorted into the dense forest on the edge of the town, and then the mercenary team disappeared into the night.

When leaving the town, Tom met his "wife" Xia who was holding a pistol. She wanted to "kill her own relatives for the sake of her country", but unfortunately she was hit by Nez who rushed out in his car!

In the dense forest, Tom and Nez got the weapons, communicators, documents, maps and vehicles that Reddington's men had placed in advance, and drove to the Russian-Kazakh border in the southwest - Reddington had arranged supply points along the way, and they only had to take turns driving and they would be able to leave Russia smoothly...

As for the pursuit of the Russian intelligence agencies, after Tom contacted Carrie, the reply he got was: The confidentiality level of this Russian spy project is too high, so high that even the country's intelligence agencies and police will not know about it, so it is expected that they will be safe as long as they drive the car two or three hundred kilometers!
Nez, who was a little skeptical at first, was completely convinced after driving a few hundred kilometers. He couldn't help but sigh at how important an excellent intelligence commander is! -
Two days later, Tom and Nez successfully returned to the United States via Kazakhstan, but at this moment, satellite photos showed that there was only a big pit left where the original "Independence Town" was, and all the buildings had been completely wiped out from the ground!
From Susan down, no one at Halcyon Shield knew whether the operation was successful, but DIS was very happy to pay all the commissions - from this perspective, the mission was accomplished! But there were too many unsolved mysteries.

When Tom returned to the company, he learned one more thing: during the time he was away on a mission, Susan had found out that the company's CFO (Chief Financial Officer) had been serving Howard and had set up secret accounts with a lot of funds flowing... Now Susan is tracing the flow of funds!
Tom was very worried about Howard's safety and took great pains to find him, but Howard still had the same attitude - he only cared about the results of "Operation Polaris". When he heard that "Independence Town" sent trained agents to replace real Americans, he came up with a more sensational idea!
According to Howard, two months after Christopher disappeared, Susan had a serious car accident and was seriously injured. She was hospitalized for several months, and she was different after she was discharged from the hospital! Howard said seriously: The real Susan died in the car accident, and the current Susan is a substitute sent by "Independence Town"!

While Tom was shocked by this speculation, Susan found out that the company's CFO regularly transferred money to a CIA spy who was hiding deep inside. When she found the spy and lured him with a large sum of money, the spy said: Howard had been looking for his son, and provided the information previously provided to Howard, proving that Christopher was still alive!
-
At the end of October, Tom came to Carrie again and explained the situation to her. He expressed great concern: he was worried that his parents would eventually kill each other, and he didn't know which side to believe!
Carrie didn't know how to persuade him - this child is so tragic! With a psychotic father and an unknown mother, it's really hard to stand on the side! So, he could only persuade Tom to stay calm and wait and see, and things will eventually become clear.

SER is still tracking Bastian's whereabouts, and no one dares to take this killer with extreme ideas lightly.

A few days ago, Reddington received a piece of news about Bastian - he was in contact with underground arms dealers, suspected of purchasing some special weapons.

This situation confirmed that their previous judgment was correct. Bastian did not have plastic surgery to disappear, but was still planning to carry out a major operation, but the goal of the operation was still unclear.

Also at the end of October, Reddington received accurate information from an underground arms dealer Aaron - Bastian was not looking for weapons, but was looking for a bomb-making expert!
