American comic: From Beijing with Love, starting with a mutant.

"Bang bang bang!"

The staff member on duty pushed open the door, his shoulders and hat brim covered in snow. After only a few steps, a trail of wet watermarks appeared on the ground.

"Sir, there's... there's a black convoy outside!"

"They drove here through a blizzard, specifically asking to see our manager."

Snowbird nodded and stood up from the chair.

"Go back to your post and notify the others to be on high alert."

"clear."

Stephen Chow held a paper cup and went to the window.

The glass was covered in frost, so he used his sleeve to wipe a small patch of glass and looked out.

Five black SUVs were parked in the snow, with the Silver Peak logo painted on the doors.

The car doors opened one after another, and a dozen men in dark winter coats stepped through the snow and approached the checkpoint.

Their movements were very synchronized, and their waists were bulging; you could tell from a distance that they were hiding weapons.

Stephen Chow took a sip of coffee and smacked his lips: "This setup...it looks more like a funeral."

The snowbird didn't reply and walked straight towards the door.

Stephen Chow originally wanted to go out and join in the fun, but he stopped at the door.

He looked down at the suit he was wearing.

Remembering the truck full of guns, he decisively took a half step back.

The leader outside had his blond hair neatly combed and wore thin-rimmed glasses on his nose.

He looks like a corporate executive who just got off a plane to discuss a merger and acquisition.

"Mark Mueller, Silver Peak Group's Transnational Asset Security Investigation Team."

He handed over the documents.

"The guy inside, Stephen Zhou, is a Chinese agent carrying dangerous experimental assets. We demand the handover of the target."

Snowbird took the document and flipped through it page by page.

Muller looked at her and continued, "This person is suspected of sabotaging military facilities and illegally transferring multiple experimental subjects. The hairy thing in the car is also an anomalous biological asset awaiting recovery and verification. The blizzard blocking the roads is convenient for us to complete the handover here."

After settling Darwin and the Moon Boy, Bigfoot came out of the room and walked behind Snowbird, looking down at the group of people.

Snowbird turned the last page and looked up at Mueller: "What procedures you follow to arrest people within the United States is none of my business, nor is it any of Alpha Team's business."

"But this is Canada!"

Müller's smile faded slightly.

"This cooperation document was issued by the United States and has the effect of cross-border cooperation."

"Assistance in the investigation is assistance in the investigation, and arrest is arrest." Snowbird handed the documents back.

"Arrests within Canada require local judicial authorization, and border checks are not yet complete."

"You do not have local Canadian judicial authorization, arrest warrants, or the authority to take over the checkpoint."

"If you want to take someone away, first submit a formal application, and then wait for a response from the lawyer and the judge."

Muller stared at her: "Madam, you may not be aware of the situation. That man is extremely dangerous, and the person he took away was no ordinary person."

"Those are a batch of highly risky experimental assets. If you continue to let them operate unchecked, the consequences may be something your Alpha team can't afford."

"Since when did your Silver Peak Consortium start taking charge of defining who is a person and who is an asset in Canada?"

"Whether he is a dangerous individual and whether he needs to be investigated is a decision for Canadian law enforcement agencies. As for those experimental subjects you mentioned, since they are human beings, they shouldn't be included in the documents! They certainly shouldn't be written as pieces of cargo awaiting disposal!"

"If you want to investigate, then follow the procedures."

"If you want to arrest someone, get authorization first."

"Trying to bypass the checkpoint, stuff people into a car, and take them away is absolutely not going to happen today."

A player behind Müller took half a step forward and reached directly for his waist.

Bigfoot looked down at the man and growled, "If you don't understand the procedure, I can have a staff member print it out for you. You can't force someone into the car and take them away."

Muller's gaze passed over Bigfoot and landed inside the checkpoint.

Through the glass, he saw Stephen Chow holding a coffee cup and raising it towards him.

The chase across the snowfield failed, and the people in the ice cave were not brought back. Now, after chasing them to the Canadian border, they have been stopped by the Alpha Team.

Now that we've chased them all the way here, our target is right in front of us, but we're still being blocked at the door by the Alpha team.

Headquarters has little time left, and the key is still in the hands of that Chinese man.

He gritted his teeth and snatched the document back.

"withdraw!"

"director?"

"I said let's go!"

The group of people slunk back into the black SUV.

The convoy struggled to turn around in the blizzard and quickly disappeared into the vast white snowfield.

Snowbird watched the convoy disappear, and Zhou Xingxing slowly walked up behind her.

"They won't let this go so easily."

She said it in a low voice.

"Yeah, I didn't expect them to just let it go like that either." Stephen Chow also looked into the distance.

"The more anxious these people are, the more valuable my stuff is."

This is what made these capitalists chase people across Alaska, all the way to the Canadian border, and even go so far as to send armed personnel across the border to arrest them.

Just how many secrets does the Silver Peak Consortium hold within this?

Unable to understand, Stephen Chow walked directly to Bigfoot and clasped his hands in a respectful gesture.

"Comrade Bigfoot, you've really nailed that doorman job!"

"If you came to our 749th Bureau's security department, I guarantee you'd get the title of 'Guardian of the Year,' plus a double salary at the end of the year!"

"I'm not going to China."

"It's alright," Stephen Chow waved his hand, his attitude nonchalant. "We'll create a file in the talent pool first. Just because I'm not going today doesn't mean I won't go next year!"

Snowbird rubbed its temples, looking troubled.

No sooner had the Silver Peak team left than this guy turned around and started poaching players from the Alpha team.

She originally thought Stephen Chow was just brave.

Now it seems that this person wasn't just bold; he simply didn't know what it meant to be quiet.

……

The wind and snow lashed against the car windows as the convoy struggled to crawl across the vast white snowfield.

"Supervisor, are we...are we just going to leave like this?"

The squad leader in the passenger seat ripped off the mask around his neck.

"If he manages to sneak back to China, the board of directors will skin us alive and stuff us into the incinerator!"

"The reason we can't cross by land is because these stubborn border guards in Canada insist on bringing up some kind of local judicial authorization."

Muller sneered: "Did the Alpha team think that by keeping an eye on the roads, they could protect that Chinese agent? If they can't get in by land, they'll get in by air."

"Notify A-3 Special Operations Team to activate two Nighthawk low-altitude assault helicopters, equip them with all-weather anti-radar paint, and conduct a pinpoint parachute drop, bypassing ground radar!"

"Supervisor, what if Alpha Team intercepts us in the air..."

"As long as we act quickly enough to get rid of the baggage before they can react, and evacuate with the keys, we'll be fine. Even if the Canadians protest, they'll only end up with a few frozen corpses."

Muller lowered his head and lit a cigar: "Before dawn, take out that guy named Stephen Zhou."

"Once we get the key, we don't care if we live or die!"
