50s: Starting with a storage ring

Chapter 429 Disguised Travel
Seeing their blatant arrogance, Sun Zhiwei's good mood from buying gifts was completely ruined. He really wanted to get rid of all the cars behind him immediately, but in the end, he held back.

Doing this may vent anger temporarily, but it has no real meaning.

The KGB has 9 agents, with an additional 20 informants and intelligence collaborators on the periphery.

They have also established 200 schools throughout Russia, with tens of thousands of new recruits joining every year. The death of a few agents is nothing to them, not even a significant loss.

However, it would be completely unnecessary to arouse the KGB's suspicion, which is why he abandoned the idea of ​​taking action.

However, as he stared at the other car, he noticed a lot of special equipment in the trunk, as well as a complete set of maps of Moscow.

He didn't touch the equipment, but thinking that the KGB's maps must be more complete than civilian maps, he took the maps from the car.

The group set off at 9 a.m., toured for nearly 3 hours, and returned to the embassy just in time for lunch.

In the afternoon, as usual, Sun Zhiwei wrote a report on his trip.

In his report, he did not shy away from the fact that he had discovered the KGB tracking him; everyone had experienced this, so there would be no problem writing it down.

After completing his report on his trip, he continued writing his 'food activity plan' until he got off work in the evening.

For the past few nights, he had been staying in a multi-story single apartment building in the embassy district. This afternoon, he made up an excuse to request a room on the first floor.

Since there were extra rooms available, the logistics department didn't refuse and simply changed the room for him.

The room he was moved to on the first floor was supposed to be a single room, but it was actually quite large, measuring over 4 meters by 5 meters, or about 20 square meters.

Such a large house could house seven or eight people in an ordinary family in Beijing, but in Russia, where land is vast and sparsely populated, it is just an ordinary building.

The room has only one window facing the main entrance. When you open the curtains, you can see the small lake in Gandhi Square just across the road. There are no other buildings within a kilometer of the window.

After the lights were turned off at night, he prepared to quietly begin digging the tunnel.

Since he couldn't just go out through the main gate, he had to resort to his old method of using an underground passage to enter and exit.

But he can only use this secret passage by himself. The KGB's surveillance here is too strong, so he has to be extremely careful.

He only stopped digging after he had dug a basement beneath the room, and began to consider the direction of the excavation.

The exit of the tunnel was not easy to choose. The surrounding area was an embassy district, and the main street behind the embassies was lined with embassies from various countries.

Therefore, this is also a key monitoring area for the KGB, and they will not let any embassy go unchecked.

In the residential buildings surrounding each embassy, ​​there are many rooms that serve as KGB outposts. Every day, hundreds or even thousands of KGB employees go to and from these outposts on time, making it difficult not to see them.

To ensure his safety when entering and exiting, he had to dig the tunnel further away, keeping the exit away from this densely populated KGB area.

This is already near the fourth ring road of Moscow, about 20 kilometers away from Lubyanka Square as the crow flies. It's even farther by road, requiring you to cross the Moscow River.

He had to drive to get to Lubyanka Square, otherwise he would have to walk all night.

I laid out the large Moscow map I had obtained during the day on the ground and turned on my flashlight to examine it closely. The map was indeed detailed, clearly showing the purpose of each building.

He searched outwards from the embassy and finally found a good place: the Luzhniki Sports Center.

The Luzhniki Sports Complex is located in a U-shaped bend across the Moscow River. It's a large sports complex centered around the Lenin Stadium, and only a little over two kilometers from the embassy. Because Moscow is hosting the Olympics this year, the Luzhniki Sports Complex is a major venue, and many of its buildings are undergoing comprehensive renovations.

Construction is underway there 24 hours a day, and the area is a mixed bag of people. To facilitate construction, the sports center has kept all its gates open day and night, making it convenient for him to come and go.

After determining the exit location and the direction of excavation, he immediately began work.

To speed up the excavation process, the tunnel routes were designed to run beneath plazas, parks, and woodlands to minimize intersections with underground pipe networks.

This is the longest tunnel he has ever dug. To avoid the Moscow River, he had to dig the tunnel more than ten meters underground.

Now that the space is larger, he no longer needs to dump the excavated soil; he can simply store it temporarily in the space, which makes his excavation speed many times faster.

The tunnel, which was more than two kilometers long, was dug down to the base of the stadium in just over an hour, before midnight.

After arriving at the stadium's underground area, he found a building that had already been renovated and opened a secret door in a storage room on the first floor.

This will be the entrance and exit of the passage he secretly used for some time to come.

Now that he was here, he didn't want to go back, so he simply started putting on makeup right there.

Slavs are very different from Asians, so he would have to make significant changes to his appearance.

No need to touch the hair. Although most Slavs have blonde hair, some have black hair. The main difference is in their face shape.

He raised his brow bone, cheekbones, and nose bridge, made his eyes appear sunken, drew thicker eyebrows, raised the tip of his nose, and added a thick mustache to make his face more three-dimensional.

They applied coarse powder to make the skin appear reddish and rough, and also to lighten the lip color. They did the same to exposed skin such as the hands and neck.

Finally, there's his physique. Since he's already quite tall, all he needs to do is widen his shoulder pads to make his bones appear broader.

After finishing his makeup, he looked in the mirror and thought, "Hey, I really don't look much different from the locals."

His rough skin, red nose, and ruddy complexion with a full beard suggested he had drunk quite a bit.

His biggest problem is that his pupil color is wrong. Most people of East Asian descent have brown or black pupils, while most Slavs have gray or blue pupils.

He couldn't find suitable materials to make contact lenses, so he had to make do with what he had for now.

His pupils were light brown, not very noticeable, and at night they looked almost gray without close inspection, making it difficult to spot. Besides, brown pupils weren't entirely absent here, just less common.

Finally, there's the clothing. This place is a large construction site now, and the people coming and going are mostly construction workers.

So he found an old set of work clothes, changed into them, put on rubber boots and a hard hat, and suddenly he looked exactly like a Moscow construction worker.

With everything ready, he took a sip from a small metal flask and strolled out of the venue.

There were many workers coming and going outside, and no one paid any attention to him. He slowly walked to the material storage area, where many trucks were parked.

Many drivers, when they get sleepy or have drunk too much, will go to the temporary workshop on the side to take a nap.

Their trucks are all parked here, and they usually don't even take the keys out of the ignition, which makes things convenient for Sun Zhiwei.
