I have a map editor

There was no need to lure them deliberately, as long as they entered the field of vision of the big bugs, they would rush out like mindless zombies. Taking into account the observation posts and sniper points set up by the US military around them, he and Emily did not use any abilities that seemed outrageous, but only used the "gun fighting technique", an upgraded version of traditional North American martial arts, and easily dealt with a big bug.

I put the muzzle of the gun against the big insect's eyes, but I didn't blow its head off because the outer shell of its head is very tough and cannot be blown apart.

But the bullet went through the eye socket and into the brain, and he still died.

Then the two found an abandoned supermarket with only broken shelves and wrapping paper on the floor. They pushed a shopping cart, put the insect corpses into the cart, and pushed it back while walking.

When they were walking back from the gap in the isolation zone, the soldiers on the Abrams were all stunned. It was normal for the good citizens of Xinxiang City in the block behind them to kill a bug with a big killer, but the man and woman in front of them were dressed like an ordinary couple, and the girl was so hot...

They just went in for a walk and didn't hear any gunshots, but they hunted down a big insect?

They were talking and laughing, and it seemed like the couple went to the supermarket to buy daily necessities for the week. When the guys saw Emily's bright smile, they all wanted to find trouble with that Asian...

But I was able to find a Sky Demon bug in thirty minutes and deal with it with a small pistol, and push it back... The "Sky Demon" clan are all bugs that cannot communicate. They are low-level beasts, so there is no such thing as "human rapist". As long as they are human, no matter if they are white, black or Asian, there will be no problem.

Moreover, although the American in this world is also extremely schizophrenic, its racial concept is still stronger than that of Emily's era, so the soldiers only thought about it in their minds and did not take any action.

In most social forms, humans and any intelligent creatures respect the strong, or also follow their hearts.

Seeing Lucas and Emily openly pushing a bug corpse that is now worth thousands of dollars and may be worth even more because it is well preserved, people of all kinds in the isolation zone did not come up to cause trouble. Instead, vendors from various vitality organizations came up to talk to Lucas and Emily enthusiastically and asked about the sale of the bug corpse.

Lucas politely declined their offer and pushed the shopping cart with Emily all the way to the underground trading site where the "worm shells" were sold the day before. He showed the guard the card given to him by the Chinese appraiser and was let in.

Compared to the body parts that were torn into pieces by large-caliber bullets, the intact insect corpses could obviously be recycled in more ways. After exchanging them for a thick stack of banknotes from the appraiser, Lucas gave half of it to Emily without even looking at it.

Emily put it into her clothes with a smile, then came out holding Lucas' arm.

With the rehearsal of yesterday's dinner, she was no longer so resistant to the meat stalls and snack stalls of Tian Yao Insects set up on the roadside. She followed Lucas's example and bought a large paper cup of insect meat to cook, and ate it while enjoying the street view.

But to be honest, there was nothing to see except that it was dirty and messy. The main purpose of the two was to find a suitable location to place the experimental equipment.

The original commercial buildings on the roadside, whether shopping malls, hotels or office buildings, have now become public accommodation for the homeless.

The original security guards either ran away or were expelled, and now some dynamic organizations have taken over these commercial buildings.

Because they still have to pay the building's basic water, electricity and even internet bills, someone or an organization must step forward and collect the fees from these residents.

As for the price, it is much cheaper. Those who dare to live in such places now are basically poor people, either homeless or bankrupt, and there is no profit to be made from them.

However, there are still some outrageous operations. Some vitality organizations even take the initiative to bear the basic expenses such as water and electricity, and do not charge additional rent or management fees to the residents of the building. However, they will sell goods in such buildings... leaves and unique products.

Relatively speaking, it is those who charge

Buildings managed by vibrant organizations are safer because their operating expenses come from room fees and they focus more on service quality...if that can be considered a service.

Lucas took Emily to visit several buildings and figured out the current operating conditions inside.

In addition to ground buildings, underground buildings, mainly subway passages, now follow a similar pattern. Homeless people in new towns, bankrupt people who have lost their jobs due to insect invasions, and all kinds of homeless people are probably now living in such marginal areas and underground passages.

Some old and abandoned subway passages and some habitable sewers were such places before the invasion of the Sky Demon Insect People.

However, Lucas and Emily mainly looked at the ground buildings suitable for placing experimental equipment and did not visit the underground area.

The same thing happened on the second and third days. There were many buildings on the surface suitable for placing experimental equipment, but none of them could be placed there because the interiors of these buildings were too chaotic and full of illegal activities. As soon as you put down the experimental equipment, it would be taken away by homeless people or bankrupts.

Upgrading these experimental devices to give them invisibility or spatial properties is a wasteful practice, because it requires the addition of divine metals such as [Iron Ore (Purple)]. Lucas's ability is not advanced enough to make "invisibility barrier" or "spatial property" equipment using only ordinary materials.

After investigating for a few days, Lucas finally gave up the plan to conduct the "artificial space turbulence" experiment here.

Using the funds he obtained from hunting activities with Emily in the past few days, he made several liters of high-quality "Divine Muscle" soaking liquid, made a deal with the appraiser of the black market trading base, and bought 5 American identities and corresponding social security account numbers that could withstand investigation and verification from the other party.

In the first few years of the invasion of the Sky Demon Zerg, all parts of the world were unprepared. Except for the mysterious country, even the population age structure data in the European region became much healthier.

So there are a lot of missing legal population identities and social security account numbers. Plus, this is a world with electronic technology and various databases, so screening and matching the characteristics of Lucas' family of five is not as difficult as in Emily's world. The "appraiser" can do it in just a few minutes sitting in front of the computer.

Communities in many areas have been conquered by the Sky Demon Zerg. By finding a missing person with features similar to Lucas or several other women in such a place, and with informants in relevant government agencies, the organization to which the "identifier" belongs can modify photos, dental models, and even tamper with DNA data.

Therefore, the documents and driver's license they finally provide can basically be regarded as real identity documents and driver's license.

There is no problem at all when buying a car, a house, applying for social welfare or opening a bank account.

0008

For several days, Lucas and Emily combined inspection and sightseeing, visiting every building in the vicinity.

There was really no place to put the experimental equipment.

So he gave up the plan.

Anyway, the world is now full of "Sky Demon" Zerg invasion incidents, so we can just find a suitable place to conduct the experiment.

After obtaining the five people's identity documents (including bank accounts and social security numbers) and driver's licenses, Lucas planned to leave Xinxiang City, cross America, continue west from the east coast, and cross the Pacific Ocean.

The Pacific Ocean is not covered, so he is going to seek refuge in a mysterious country.

One night, a submarine airship parked several thousand meters above Xinxiang City silently put this plan into practice.

Emily is very clingy. It is impossible for you to wait for her to fall asleep and then get up to surf the Internet.

The next day, after finishing his family's daily fitness activities, Lucas made himself a pot of tea like a slacking off at work, and then brought it to the table in the cab, surfing the Internet while watching the navigation status.

He had been active in the streets these days and had not been online much. The account lent to him by Miss Shirakawa from the Maritime Search and Rescue Coordination Office of the mysterious country had been taken back, but he was now a legal American citizen with his own online account and ID, so he no longer needed their public work account.

"exist?"

"?"

"Thank you for helping me so much. My work here has ended and I am looking for a way to return home. I will treat you to a meal when I return."

"Ha, that's not necessary. I'm more curious. Didn't you say you were in Africa? How come the location and IP address both show you're in America?"

Maybe it was because young people couldn't keep their cool, Miss "Baichuan" teased Lucas a few words.

"Ahahaha, I was afraid that if I said I was an American illegal, a civil servant like you would ignore me, so I had to say I was an African refugee. Didn't you kindly lend me your work account?"

Lucas was not at all embarrassed when he was exposed. With his understanding of the four words "mysterious country", Ma Bian's words came out naturally and were in line with the reality.

Sure enough, Miss "Baichuan" would give him a string of ellipsis: "..."

After a long while, she sent a message: "What's up? Did you get an American green card? Now that you've settled down, why do you want to return to your country? Do you have any other questions?"

"Uh... it's nationality. Now I'm an official citizen of America... Well, let's not talk about this. This is just a temporary solution. I don't want to be an illegal resident. I have no choice but to do it.

I bought my identity, and I don’t feel a sense of belonging here, so I want to return to my country to develop.”

"???"

"Let's not talk about this. I may be back in half a month or a month. Which coastal city are you in? I will come to you and treat you to a meal."

"Let's talk about it then"

"Okay, bye."

"88"

After saying hello to "Baichuan", Lucas checked his accounts on other social platforms in this world.

The news on Tieba and Bihu are all "999+", because he had a rather aggressive tone some time ago and said some things based on the stance of the Corvina epidemic in the parallel universe, which offended many elites and shepherds. Although there were some who supported him, most of them were still wishing his mother to become an honorary astronaut of the space station.

Lucas originally wanted to touch the fish for a while and then ask Luo Ruier or Zhuo Yisi to come over for duty. He also wanted to develop the "Divine Muscle Technology" exoskeleton technology here, but he became excited when he saw this.

Isn't it just C language? It seems like everyone can speak it.

He created new posts and new topics in both places, and @ed all those Zaun experts, elites, and good-looking people.

"Are the 99 aircraft carriers you mentioned only available on the Chinese Internet? I took some photos of the landmark American Xinxiang City with my phone to give you a feel for it."

[Picture], [Picture], [Picture].

"This building was accidentally destroyed by the American military about 11 days ago. At least 500 people died inside. Not to mention clearing the rubble and searching for people, people are still buried underneath."

“Or they are all free.”

"Huh? Am I being sarcastic and disrespecting the dead? Compare it to similar accidents, such as building collapses. If the search and rescue is timely, the worst that can happen is that dozens of people will die. Should I send you down as well and ask those rescuers why they don't respect the dead?"

"Oh, sorry, my bad, because there was no one to help!!!"

[Picture], [Picture], [Picture].

“This used to be an upscale commercial area, but now the streetscape is no different from that of a third world country.”

"The people living here are all vagrants, homeless people and bankrupts, huh? You say this is fake, but you don't even know the famous XXX Street? Your label says you have a Master of Economics from Columbia University!?"

"This sister used to be a senior executive in the office building here, but now she's also working as a prostitute on the street. Look at the clothes she's wearing, genuine luxury goods from the Donkey brand. She's unlucky, and it seems like all her investments have gone down the drain. All her assets have been taken away by the bank, and her company happens to be on this street, so..."

"In addition, the photo has been obtained with her consent, including her current occupation, and the cost is $20."

[Picture], [Picture], [Picture].

“These are the scenes in the building”

"It's really new. Ask the cops in Xinxiang City if they dare to come in here?"

"Look at the syringes in their hands. How do you think the cops are going to do their jobs when they come in?"

"Look at the stuff they have, and the exoskeletons, do you think they trust the cops and the military?"

[Picture], [Picture], [Picture].

“I feel like the purchasing power of the dollar has dropped too much”

"A paper cup of boiled worm meat costs $2 now."

"I searched the Internet to collect information. Wow, my goodness! The global supply chain is broken. In many areas, even if you have US dollars, you can't exchange them for any daily necessities."

"Isn't this a sign that the monetary system is about to collapse or has already collapsed? Why are some people still cheering for the beacon country?"

……

These posts by Lucas may not be earth-shattering, but they are still explosive news.

No matter they were the real "rationalists" or the shepherds, they were all speechless because his pictures and texts were real. Except for the pictures of the interior of the buildings, the incident of accidental damage to the building was also reported by CNN and other media in America, but it was not publicized.

As for the pictures of the interior of the buildings, even the COPs in Xinxiang City are unwilling to approach these blocks, unless they are reporters who are willing to risk their lives for the news and force the editor-in-chief to report it regardless of propaganda and public opinion.

Especially the prophetic "collapse of the monetary system" at the end, which has aroused a sense of crisis among many elite shepherds. These people took sides and disgusted others purely for economic interests. Now that these economic interests are gone, relying on their usual actions...

So many people chose to keep silent after being criticized by Lucas. The smarter ones began to clean up the inappropriate remarks on their social media accounts, or even simply closed or deleted their accounts, because there were too many remarks on them and they were ready to break away from their past selves.

For example, "99 aircraft carriers remaining on the Chinese Internet" later became a cultural meme. Many pictures uploaded by Lucas were also widely circulated on the Internet, curing many people of "Paris delusion" like the people in District .

However, there are still some particularly stubborn and hard-core people. For example, Tieba and Bihu both deleted or hid Lucas' posts in the following days on the grounds that "his remarks caused huge controversy." He called them personally but it didn't work. Instead, it was Emily who called in English before the staff patiently explained the reasons and resolutely refused to restore the posts.

Lucas is sometimes a very serious person, which may be related to the fact that he was too unprincipled when he was young and ignorant. If he could travel back to the past, the person he would most want to destroy would be his younger self.

He posted a topic on Tieba and Bihu respectively, expressing his dissatisfaction, and then posted a message as evidence, intending to have a good talk with the two big companies after returning to China, no matter what the route.

Many online accounts that were humiliated by Lucas's attack were in a frenzy, saying all kinds of things. Many onlookers and neutral people came to express their condolences. Tieba and Bihu did not take this post seriously, and just regarded it as the barking of a defeated dog.

At that time, no one realized the seriousness of the problem.

That is, "Elite Square Kicked Ape", "Old Fang, a migrant worker from the China Institute of Machinery" and our Maritime Search and Rescue Coordination Center's sister "Baichuan" who have been following Lucas' account felt vaguely uneasy.

……

Laken is a small city in central America with a population of about 80.

In some ordinary world, he might be very famous, because his name is translated into Chinese as "Raccoon City".

Although there is no Umbrella Corporation in this world, there is indeed an Umbrella Corporation in the city of Laken, which operates the water plant and nuclear power plant in the entire urban area. However, it is not an international company, nor does it have any biological or medical business projects. Although the founder has a mansion in the suburbs, there is no terrifying biochemical research in it. It is just a very ordinary mansion.

For half a century, this company has been providing clean, high-quality drinking water, and is considered a rare conscientious enterprise in America. No safety accidents have occurred at the nuclear power plant since its completion, so the company has a good reputation locally.

However, the originally peaceful and tranquil life in Laken City underwent a huge change after the "Sky Demon" Zerg invasion.

It is not known what criteria were used for the screening, but the city of Laken was rated as a non-essential protection target by both the state and federal governments.

The "Sky Demon" Zerg invasion is a widespread disaster, and even the global garrisons have been withdrawn, which shows the frequency and density of its outbreaks in American's homeland.

The federal government's current military force is not enough to protect all cities and towns, and can only focus on guarding areas with large populations and great value, such as Xinxiang City.

The same standard applies when this is delegated to state governments, so there will be no official armed forces at the state level stationed in Laken for defense.

The same was true in the city of Laken, after several protests. The state assembly also advised the city of Laken to relocate all residents as soon as possible so that there would be no such city as Laken in the future.

Simply put, the city of Laken was abandoned.

Although there will not be a tactical nuclear bomb to destroy the bodies, there will also be no economic or any form of rescue.

The city of Laken is free... No, the city of Laken is free!

For some people, moving is easier than going to the McDonald's for a meal, but for most people, that's not the case.
