Qin Feng was once the sharpest blade in the army, codenamed "Mountain Eagle". Today, he is the biggest thorn in the side of the Environmental Protection Agency.
After retiring due to injury, he was stuffed into a government office in a second-tier city. The rules here are undercurrent, and people's hearts are ups and downs. He adheres to his principles, but hits a wall at every turn; he has extraordinary skills, but is defeated in front of the wine table culture.
Until the old general brought a fatal news: the survivors of the border mission were dying "accidentally" one after another.
Forced back into battle, this time his enemies hide in the shadows of the city. He gathered his retired comrades--Fat Hu who opened a barbecue restaurant, Monkey who repaired computers, professors who engaged in scientific research, and Liu Xiaodao, who was successful in the unit.
They went deep into each death instance, from biological laboratories to financial shady circles, from overseas raids to digital mazes. Comrades fell one by one, paving the way to the truth with their lives.
When the final conspiracy was revealed, pointing to an ancient organization trying to "purify" mankind, Qin Feng discovered that the real melting pot was not the battlefield, but the human heart. His rusty blade must be re-smelted in a desperate situation, even if it costs his own life.
This is a hymn played with sacrifice, about how faith is passed down from generation to generation.
