The story begins with a seemingly routine international tip: Chinese criminal policeman Zhang Lin was ordered to lead a team deep into a remote corner of Africa to investigate a suspected drug manufacturing den. However, the operation quickly got out of control. What they discovered was not an ordinary drug factory, but a cutting-edge secret laboratory controlled by the mysterious organization "Snake Eyes" that developed high-risk synthetic drugs and even genetic biological weapons.
In a race against time to prevent an impending bioterrorist attack, Zhang Lin and his team work with Interpol from the African desert to the high-end summit in Geneva to a hidden base under the Arctic ice sheet. They continued to encounter well-equipped and well-trained private armed forces, and were shocked to discover that the tentacles of the "Snake Eyes" organization have penetrated deeply into law enforcement and government agencies in many countries.
Zhang Lin not only has to face mad scientists and ruthless criminals on the outside (such as a complex opponent codenamed "Ethan"), but also needs to identify his comrades around him and fight against corruption and betrayal within the system. What he defends has long gone beyond the scope of anti-drugs, but is related to the bottom line of human biological security and the survival of civilization.
In the end, although the main conspiracy was foiled, Zhang Lin realized that although "Snake Eyes" had been severely damaged, the extreme ideas and dark methods it represented were like the roots of immortality, still spreading quietly in the shadow of the world. He has grown from a front-line actor to the leader of an "eradicate" team that cultivates a new generation of global law enforcement forces and specializes in combating deep-seated corruption and transnational collusion. He shoulders the responsibility of a never-ending "eternal vigil" (eternal watch) to protect the bright world.
