Mountain Eagle was actually mentally prepared for bad news, so he looked for Anton, the perverted forensic doctor, rather than Sergei, the investigator who was in charge of handling the case back then.

Seeing Sergei's embarrassed expression now, Mountain Eagle sighed and said, "Let me guess, that professor at Moscow University's so-called research project is a scam.

Someone there took the money, handed the bodies legally and rightfully over to the other party, and then that Moscow professor's lab accidentally had a bit of a situation, and the bodies were damaged."

Sergei, being an Intelligence Bureau employee who still had some ideals, faced with Mountain Eagle's heavily sarcastic tone, awkwardly said, "Things aren't quite what you think...

After you warned me back then, I wrote a report and handed it to my superiors, but within a few months, a lot of people came to Moscow with substantial funds.

Some of them approached the professor at Moscow University, others were heads of some research institutes in Europe.

These people lobbied the high-ups in Moscow, and then, and then...

Then the body was jointly dissected and then disassembled and handed over to those people..."

Mountain Eagle listened, nodded in amazement, and said, "You guys disassembled that body like pork and sold it?

Bro, Russia is the country with the largest land area in the world and has energy reserves that most countries can't even begin to compare to. Given your population size, you should be the country with the highest per capita resource possession and happiness.

But as it turns out, you guys can't even hold on to a single body...

Those people just brought a little money to Moscow and were able to take away whatever they wanted.

Is there anything you can't sell?"

Mountain Eagle looked at Sergei's flushed face, he laughter and said, "Don't get me wrong, I'm not criticizing you because I'm planning to set up a research lab too, so I also want that body. If money works, I can save a lot of trouble.

I think though, no matter how myopic the folks inside Russia might be, they wouldn't sell off the entire body. Can you help me get in touch with someone? I'd like to buy a bit of the body for scientific research."

Sergei still had some integrity. Faced with Mountain Eagle's 'rude request,' he seemed somewhat unhappy...

Just as Sergei was caught in a dilemma, Anton snorted and pushed Sergei aside and leaned into the camera, whispering, "100,000 Euros, only 100,000 Euros for a big package containing muscle tissue, skin tissue, hair, teeth, and bones.

For 300,000 Euros, you get the entire package plus the detailed dissection results and DNA identification results provided by the Moscow forensic center."

Mountain Eagle was stunned by the information Anton revealed. After pausing for a few seconds, he said, "This stuff is open for sale?"

Anton shrugged and said, "Not completely open because not everyone is qualified to buy, and the brain of that body isn't for sale.

You might have forgotten, but I told you back then that my mentor was very interested in that body and he presided over the dissection.

Later, someone brought a lot of money to Moscow, and those people brought not only funds but also many conditions for collaboration, including offering to share results and some industry policy perks. So eventually, that body was disassembled and sold.

As far as I know, there are 25 research labs that have bought parts of the body, and you're the 26th person wanting it."

Mountain Eagle listened, shook his head in amazement, and said, "This has actually turned into a business!

Can you help me get that so-called 'big package'?"

Anton smiled mysteriously and said, "If you're willing to pay, I can get you an even better package..."

Mountain Eagle looked at Anton's mercenary smile, he felt slightly uncomfortable and shook his head, saying, "Alright, tell me more, if I find it suitable, I'm willing to pay..."

Anton said proudly, "My university mentor retained some parts of the body, including the most important head.

He's raising funds to buy equipment to conduct the most detailed testing on the body tissues, attempting to find the secret to this guy's ability to live to over a hundred and still look like several soldiers.

However, this is just the public explanation. In reality, my mentor found some anomalies or perhaps mutated parts in the pituitary of the corpse during dissection.

My mentor suspects that this is actually the reason behind that black man's magical performance. Sadly, that guy died many years ago, so tracing back is full of obstacles.

However, in the early research materials you guys obtained from Bolonicov, there are some studies related to this body.

That info indicates this black man's mutation is related to an African herb called 'Tomica Grass.' My mentor and several collaborating professors are looking to raise funds for a trip to Africa.

If they succeed, they want to restart the former Soviet Union's Super Soldier Plan."

Anton looked at Mountain Eagle's astonished expression and leaned closer to the camera, whispering, "Let me tell you a secret, the first generation Alpha Special Forces during the Soviet era was supported by the Super Soldier Plan.

It's just that later they found that the Super Soldier Plan had strong side effects, so after Alpha's expansion, the Super Soldier Plan was archived.

Now my mentor believes, that the body of that black man might hold the key to unlocking the side effects!"

Mountain Eagle couldn't quite pinpoint what he was feeling at the moment; he just felt that the world was sometimes surprisingly small...

Many things in the end seem to revolve back to similar origins!

The prowess of the first generation Alpha during the Soviet Union era is well-documented in various records...

Back then, everyone thought Alpha was a group of top-tier talents selected from the vast Soviet-controlled territories and trained rigorously to form a special forces unit.

With the Soviet Union's capacity and skills at the time, training a formidable and invincible squad didn't seem particularly unusual.

However, after Alpha expanded to a scale of around a hundred people, the soldiers' abilities and quality began to decline rapidly.

Their most famous achievement was the overnight seizure of the flags in the Afghan capital during a surprise attack, but Alpha never recaptured its early glory after continued expansion.

Looking at it now, it seems the 'side effects' are the reasons limiting the birth of Super Soldiers!

Now that Anton's mentor sees hope in resolving the side effects, he is planning new research projects again. However, it is obvious that without clear results, he can't obtain subsequent research funds from within Russia.

It sounds a bit incredible, but Mountain Eagle knows this is perfectly normal...

In Snowden's secret files, Mountain Eagle found not less than twenty Super Soldier research projects, with more than half being scams, and most of the rest failing or having severe side effects.

Currently, only the United States has the obsession with Super Soldiers, as they are launching security wars globally...

In fact, the emergence of the atomic bomb and the post-WWII dominance of the United States has led global warfare into a new model.

After the Gulf War, most wars appeared in the form of proxy wars, leading to the security war mode.

In security warfare mode, a dozen or twenty Super Soldiers, combined with robust intelligence and logistics support, can indeed become a decisive force.

It can also save a lot of manpower and resources, and most importantly, it doesn't make the scene too unsightly.

Aside from the United States, an aggressive country, as modern weapons have evolved to this stage, most countries need no so-called Super Soldiers.

For example, Russia has been bogged down by various terrorist activities for years, but their limitation is intelligence capability, not strike power.

Even without Super Soldiers, their other special forces can crush terrorists or hostile forces.

It's the same for other countries...

Super Soldiers, when used as weapons, are cost-effective despite their obvious flaws. Otherwise, they're just fragrant vinegar you're bound to prepare dumplings for.

Given Russia's domestic struggles, it's perfectly normal they don't support Anton's mentor. Mountain Eagle would reject this project too...

From a country's perspective, it's better to invest the money in weapon research and production projects...

Chi Hu's 'Gray Wolf' is a Super Soldier, Razer is also a Super Soldier, and Mountain Eagle himself is considered a Super Soldier now, but he doesn't really think Super Soldiers are that impressive, because the key placing him at the top of the food chain in team operations is the Sergeant System...

Unlike Russia, Mountain Eagle, who has been poisoned, can't bypass Anton's mentor's project!

If he can obtain Anton's mentor's early Alpha project data, combined with the corpse and data captured from Bolonicov and the lab data Mountain Eagle possesses, it would significantly speed up research related to his physical issues.

Looking at Anton on the video screen, Mountain Eagle thought for a moment and said, "OK, I'll take it!

Ask your mentor how much money he needs. If the price is suitable, I'll arrange for someone to connect with him later.

But let's agree in advance, I can invest the money, but the funds need to be used in directions I specify, not spent on luxury houses and cars."

Anton was actually just mentioning it casually, raising his importance. He didn't expect Mountain Eagle would really be interested in investing.

After receiving Mountain Eagle's response, Anton excitedly paced in the cabin a few times, finally returning to the camera saying, "No problem, after this matter is settled, I'll contact my mentor.

The initial investment won't be too high, as we first need to find that 'Tomica Grass' in Africa to proceed with further research."

Saying this, Anton rubbed his hands and said, "Mountain Eagle, you need a tech-savvy person as your advisor. If you're willing to invest in my 'Bone Remover project,' I can offer free technical consultation services."

Mountain Eagle watched Anton's greedy appearance, shaking his head and said, "I won't invest in the so-called 'Bone Remover project.' You're such a freak, you'll get dismembered sooner or later!"

Anton listened, a complicated expression on his face, silent for a few seconds before sighing, saying, "Mountain Eagle, I'm not a lunatic, I need to make a living.

But you're right; this line of work does have huge risks, and Sergei is unwilling to quit his job and partner with me.

Without reliable partners, this business is too dangerous."
