I have a map editor

Relatives, friends and family are all here, property and jobs are also here. Moving to another city... Most American people, including white-collar workers, live on overdrafts on credit cards. Not working for half a month is equivalent to bankruptcy for them. How can they easily give up their status in Laken City if they lose everything they have now?

Fortunately, although the city of Laken is free, the city government has still fought for some powers and conveniences. In America, there has always been a tradition of communities or larger urban areas forming their own law enforcement and security forces.

The city government raised funds everywhere and legally purchased heavy weapons and equipment. In addition to recruiting retired personnel with combat experience from all over the United States and even across countries, many idle citizens were also armed to form a defense force that belonged only to the city of Laken.

In this process, the performance of the Laken city government is very impressive in this country, and the unity shown by the wealthy class and ordinary citizens in this place is also remarkable.

As I said before, America is an amazing country. The differences between communities and cities can sometimes be greater than those between people and dogs.

Among them, it is the Umbrella Corporation, which is the villain's protection company in the parallel world, that has contributed the most. They are also the most resistant to "Laken City for Free" because the company's industries are all locally. Even if they can be relocated to other areas, they will face competition and brutal suppression. How can they continue to maintain the existence of Laken City?

While actively cooperating with the municipal government, they also keenly discovered business opportunities, learned from those third world countries and primitive tribes, and transformed into a business mainly based on hunting Zerg... I don’t know what to call this type of economy.

In order to increase the attractiveness of the city, they took the initiative to lower the prices of water and electricity. Not to mention the land prices here, which have been devalued due to the "free city" crisis. Basically all local real estate companies have gone bankrupt. There are capable people in the city government who borrowed a large sum of money from the Federal Bank to take over these real estate companies and changed most of the commercial land to city government operation.

These measures have greatly reduced the local cost of living.

Although both the federal government and the state government intend to abandon this place, there is still basic friendship among fellow human beings. The American armed forces stationed in the surrounding areas, whether official or private, will support the crisis here to the best of their ability.

For example, if you have a skilled fighter in your team

In the case of retired personnel with unskilled skills, it is quite easy to call for one or several waves of long-range strikes by radio. Just report the coordinates and parameters, and it will be a burst of artillery fire or a ground-clearing. You just need to pay according to the consumed ammunition afterwards...

During this process, many citizens did choose to move away, but with the concerted efforts of many parties, it took a few years for the city of Laken to not only survive the "Zerg invasion" crisis, but also turn it into a worm meat slaughtering and processing center in the state and even the United States... Of course, it also sells biological materials such as worm shells and worm muscles.

However, nothing lasts forever, or in other words, the strategies formulated by the government's aides and elites do make some sense.

Lucas didn't know how the outer defense line of Laken was breached. It wasn't mentioned in the news or on the radio, and even the news and radio stations across the United States did not broadcast this news.

It may not be an operation like "covering the lid".

Now there are news reports of battles with Zerg around the world every day, and both the media and the audience are no longer sensitive to such things... Just like the Corvina epidemic in Lucas's world, when tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people died in a certain beautiful country, the whole world was shocked; but when the number accumulated to 800,000, the response was just a casual "Oh" or "It's already 800,000."

Ordinary people like Lucas who are far away from the epidemic are numb to hearing it, while the people in a certain American country are dead numb. This is a win-win situation and everyone is numb.

The news that the crematorium at home is not enough for San Ge, and he needs to import incinerators from Germany... This kind of thing is more like entertainment news, not serious epidemic news...

Lucas was just passing by and was attracted by the ground information obtained by the magic reconnaissance means on the spacecraft. He flew for several kilometers before discovering the city battle scene here. He didn't even know that the city below was called "Laken City".

An individual is insignificant in a scene where the forces are numbered in the hundreds of thousands. After observing for a while in the sky, he had no intention of landing at all.

Just like the Crown Eagle Mountain community in the parallel world, if Lucas can do his best to save the situation, he doesn't mind doing his part, even if the people below are American citizens.

But judging from visual observation alone, at least hundreds of thousands of bugs have rushed into the city, and the targeted outer defenses in farther places have collapsed. By monitoring the radio, Lucas and the women on the boat even know that the number of this wave of bug outbreak is abnormally large, and more bugs are rushing in other directions. More than a dozen defense lines within hundreds of kilometers on the ground have been submerged.

On a larger scale, it appears that the federal government is mobilizing the armed forces of several states, both official and private, for defense.

"Ah, say something Lucas"

The atmosphere in the cab was silent for a moment, and Claire tried to liven it up.

"I don't know what to say at this time, how about...I go down and take a look?"

"No, what are you thinking?" Claire retorted without thinking, "Are you going to die at this time? Do you want Emily to become a widow at such a young age? "

Emily rolled her eyes at her, "Mom, what are you talking about!"

"It's not necessarily a suicide mission. In fact, I...we are all pretty strong now. For us, as long as we get rid of our fear, we can fight a lot of these bugs as a family," said Lucas.

"Boss, this is not our world. Although in concept it is somewhat similar to our Flower Kingdom, this is not your world either..." Luo Ruier also joined in and persuaded.

Zhuo Yisi glanced at her and continued to remain silent. The words "This is not your world either" were very clear, but unfortunately Claire, who was very beautiful and very suitable to be Mrs. Lucas, didn't hear it. She also held an opposing attitude and did not agree with Lucas' idea of ​​going down to take a look.

However, Emily, who had fought against the "Sky Demon" insect man during an activity in Xinxiang City a few days ago, agreed with Lucas' approach.

However, it was not because the person below was an isomorph of the "Flower Kingdom", but because she felt that the "Sky Demon" insect man was really weak.

0009

On the visual reconnaissance information screen on the submarine airship, one can see a bright spot with tiny ripples flashing from time to time in the air a few kilometers east of "Laeken City".

A long time ago, in order to leave the small space of the "Sinkhole Base", Lucas made an "eyepiece" that could directly observe space phenomena. Now this function has been fully transplanted into the reconnaissance means of the submarine airship.

Each bright spot represents a "celestial demon" insect man passing through the blockade at the end of the "space tunnel" and entering this world.

Maybe it was near the end, the bright spots did not appear very densely, but on the screen, there was almost a continuous glowing band, and every second, there were still hundreds or thousands of "Sky Demon" insect people entering.

It is difficult to imagine what the scene was like at their peak when their numbers were large enough to break through the blockade of modern weapons systems. We can only speculate based on the densely packed insect corpses and fragments on the ground, as well as the various traces of bullet marks and craters.

After Lucas subconsciously took photos and videos, he suddenly thought:

"Isn't this a perfect place to conduct space interference experiments?"

"Once we cut off the follow-up forces of the "Sky Demon" insect people, perhaps the situation on the battlefield will turn around?"

At the same time, he was also quite puzzled by a phenomenon.

The images obtained by the submarine airship clearly show that the route of the "Sky Demon" insect man was clearly planned.

Or organized, which is extremely inconsistent with what he collected from public channels about the performance of the "Sky Demon" insect people.

……

The war actually did not break out when Lucas arrived or a few days before his arrival, but lasted for more than twenty days.

Maybe even earlier than when he entered this world.

Modern thermal weapons also have dignity. Amerikan is also a human being. In the face of absolute numbers, he also resisted for more than ten days. The surrounding official and private armed forces all provided certain military assistance, whether it was air-to-air missiles or ground artillery. The defense line was broken through by the sudden change in combat mode of the "Sky Demon" Zerg, and then collapsed.

Even if the defense line was breached, just like the Battle of Stalingrad, it was just a transition from a frontal battlefield to an urban battlefield. Relying on years of continuous civilian armament and the "Divine Muscle Technology" exoskeleton that had spread across the globe and accumulated, the "City of Laken" fought with the "Sky Demon" Zerg for every building and every block.

Maybe in this process, the "Laken City" from top to bottom widely used certain white granular tablets commonly known as morale potions. Maybe some things that are not easy to comment on happened, such as breaking into someone else's big house, shooting the husband, using the wife and daughter to boost their own morale, and then turning around to fight the "Sky Demon" insect people to the death.

But it is true that the people of "Laeken" showed a fighting spirit rarely seen in Europe and America, except for the Germans. Their tolerance for casualties and even death was far higher than the average level, and was even on par with Soviet Union in World War II.

Generally speaking, the whole city is fighting desperately... Well, it seems that not resisting is impossible, because the "Sky Demon" insect people are not human beings, and they do not accept prisoners. The only outcome of surrendering or giving up resistance is to become their food.

Maybe taking a lot of drugs and soaking yourself in chemicals like marinating ingredients in Chinese food can prevent the "sky demon" insects from having to dip themselves in seasoning when they eat? Anyway, these big insects can even eat wood, so this method may not necessarily prevent you from being attacked by insects like in "World War Z".

Although we will not receive a lawyer's letter from the strongest legal department in Asia, the protagonist of our "Laken City" is called Nina Atkinson. She was an orphan who lost her parents in the "Sky Demon" insect tide. Later, she was sheltered and trained in the "Laken City" urban revitalization plan (armed plan) sponsored by the "Umbrella" company, and became a captain-level fighter of the elite Umbrella SWAT.

In the defense of "Laeken City", he has been fighting on the front line, driving a tank and the "Divine Muscle" exoskeleton Umbrella Limited Edition. Although he did not lose all his teammates like in "K-Niss", more than half of his comrades were admitted to the ICU, but he himself miraculously did not even have a scratch.

Moreover, because of the high-intensity fighting that lasted for more than ten days, she did not get enough rest, and her dark circles were particularly severe, but it unexpectedly achieved the effect of smoky makeup.

Plus, Lucas was flying around in the sky... well, it had nothing to do with him. The geographical location of "Laeken City" was close to the equator. No matter how Lucas flew, the geographical location here would not change. It had a tropical climate.

Nina hadn't had time to take care of herself, and her clothes were still the same as they were more than ten days ago. Although she smelled a little sweaty, the smoky makeup created a special effect called "Greasy Senior Sister", and she looked even better.

At this point in the battle, both the Umbrella Corporation's armed forces and the Laken City's armed forces had actually lost their organization. The "Sky Demon" Zerg can fly and does not rely on ground propulsion. In addition to a large number of elite red Zerg mixed in the Zerg tide, it is unknown how some elite red Zerg raided the Umbrella Corporation's headquarters and the Laken City armed command center.

The backbone forces in the city were completely wiped out. In fact, since the fifth day of the urban battle, the city of Laken had turned into a guerrilla security war, but this time the situation was reversed. The Zerg played the role they usually played, and they themselves became rats hiding in the gutter.

It can only be said that the mysterious country in this world has done a great thing. If it weren't for the "Divine Muscle Technology" exoskeleton, coupled with the wealth and industrial advantages accumulated by the American people, the entire city of Laken would have collapsed long ago.

Relying on the complex terrain created by various buildings and high-rise buildings in the urban area, the remaining armed citizens have been resisting with the help of various conditions... or, they can still resist.

Although their demise is inevitable without outside help, they are doomed to perish anyway, so they have to fight back with all their might!

……

Strictly speaking, it was not Lucas and Emily who found Nina, but Nina who followed the traces of battle and found two people fighting fiercely with the "Sky Demon" Zerg somewhere in the city.

Nina didn't know at this time that in a mountainous forest area a few kilometers outside the city, six devices with a crystal ball on the top, which looked like equipment of exorcists or fortune tellers, had taken effect. The invisible and colorless magic energy was interconnected and combined into the shape of a hexagram, stirring up the space within a radius of dozens of kilometers with this as the center.

Instead of reinforcing the crystal wall or completely sealing off the space, the space of the entire area was stirred up in a way that consumed very little energy. Anyone who wanted to enter here through the "space channel" would be twisted and thrown away to a farther place.

At random position.

In this area itself, before the energy of the magic crystals on the experimental device is exhausted, no new "Sky Demon" Zerg will appear... It is hard to say how many days it will take, because Lucas does not know how many days this set of experimental equipment can last in the ordinary world.

But for at least twenty to thirty days, there will be no follow-up reinforcements from the "Sky Demon" Zerg.

During this period, if the remaining humans in "Laken City" can organize themselves, piece together their assets and form an armed force, there is a great possibility that they can escape from this place.

So after setting up the experimental equipment, Lucas and Emily ventured into the city, hoping to find someone here with organizational skills or good use of power to gather manpower.

……

After seeing that the two people were fighting against the red elite "Sky Demon" insect man, Nina was a little surprised, but she lowered her gun immediately.

Humans are not enemies... well, most of them are not, except when they are horny. These days, she has also personally dealt with those Shi Lezhi's kind who couldn't bear the pressure and vented it on her.

The group in front of me is a man and a woman, so there will basically be no problem in this regard, although their... clothes are a bit weird.

The mature and steady-looking Asian man was okay, as he was wearing a neat and tidy combat outfit, including a belt, vest, and combat boots, all of which were standard. But the young girl was a bit outrageous, as she was wearing a tight-fitting outfit commonly seen in gyms.

Shit, I know you have a great figure, but you are really showing off by wearing this when fighting against bugs. Are you really going to die?!

This was Nina's inner thoughts when she saw Emily clearly, and she couldn't help but take a few more glances at her chest, waist and thighs.

While complaining in his heart, he expressed his envy, jealousy and hatred under his real name.

At least he was broad-minded and well-mannered. Even if he was criticizing Emily in his heart, he did not use words like "beach" to refer to Emily.

For some reason, the Asian man seemed to notice her and looked towards where she was.

Elite red insect men are very difficult to deal with. Although their body structure is exactly the same as that of ordinary ones, they are enhanced versions. Their legs are much thicker and they move faster on the ground. The pincer-like structures on their arms are also more deadly and dangerous. They are designed to kill, not work.

Over a long period of time, Nina developed a fighting instinct. In addition, the two opponents were both humans. After a little observation, she understood the situation on the scene. When a red elite insect man launched a sprint, she calculated the timing and joined in the occupation.

With a "boom", the extended and thickened Remington in her hand spewed out flames comparable to those of a flamethrower, and the specially made armor-piercing fillers were fired out in a fan-shaped pattern, most of which hit the high-speed charging red insect man with incredible accuracy, making its skin and one side of the hard carapace riddled with holes. After breaking the insect man's shell, the armor-piercing fillers continued to cause disorderly destruction inside the insect body under the action of huge kinetic energy and inertia.

Even if this red elite insect man did not die instantly, it would have completely become a useless insect and would not need to be recycled and reused by humans. Its kind would then implement this harsh survival strategy and recycle worthless things...even its own kind, into food.

"Hey, here, come here quickly"

Nina took the opportunity to greet the two of them.

But the other party looked at her strangely and was not moved at all.

Nina was almost going crazy. Fighting with the insect people in such an open place was simply not a quick enough death for her.

But she swallowed the words "Are you trying to kill yourself? Come here quickly..." before she could finish her sentence.

Because she saw that the blonde girl, who she thought was dressed very flashily, easily used a larger dagger to cut off several insect heads in succession, which might not be destroyed by RPG and were usually protected under the triangular shell on the top of the carapace.

The Asian also used her water gun, which was too weak to be used even when hitting people, and pulled the trigger almost at the insect people's faces, killing four or five of them.

"Wang Defa..."

What she finally said was to greet a friend named Wang on the other side of the ocean.

Only Wang Defa felt offended and angry.

Dozens of seconds later, dozens of "Sky Demon" Zergs active around were killed easily by the two men.

Nina was stunned... Little did she know that Emily couldn't help but look at her a few more times during the battle. She thought she was pretty, but she didn't think she was a threat, because she couldn't even succeed against her own mother, so who was she...

Maybe Claire used to be dismissive of Lucas, but after the incident, everything turned around, and she is not blind to the daily situation at home.

After the battle, the threat here was temporarily lifted.

Two people walked towards her slowly. The man checked his pistol as he walked, reloaded the bullets, and put the pistol into the holster on his chest.

The girl shook off the non-existent bloodstain on the dagger. Nina didn't see where she put the dagger, but it disappeared as soon as she turned her hand.

The girl had a high ponytail, and with the clothes she was wearing, she looked youthful and energetic, like a young person playing in a gym in peacetime. She looked younger than herself. She jogged a few steps with a smile on her face, and the shaking of her body parts made Nina despise her extremely in her heart. She came to the man and held his arm affectionately... They looked not only a pair of partners, but also a couple.

When approaching myself, the girl

He wrinkled his cute (cross it out, it was hateful) nose, as if he was disgusted by the smell on his body, which made Nina extremely embarrassed.

Lucas and Emily were both exceptionally clean and tidy, and Emily was a beautiful woman who was probably half a head taller than her. This situation was consistent with some suspension bridge theory or some psychology, which made her discomfort abnormally magnified.

Fortunately, as an elite combatant, Nina had a strong mental quality and recovered quickly.

"Hello, my name is Lucas, I'm just passing by out of interest"

"Uh, hello, Nina Atkinson, with the Laken City SWAT"

"Hi, there, I'm Emily"

The man extended a hand. Nina lowered the gun, held the gun with one hand, shook hands with him, then took the initiative and said:

"This is not the place to talk, follow me."

Lucas and Emily looked at each other. They were both extraordinary people at this moment, and they were equipped with incredible precious equipment compared to ordinary people, so they were naturally fearless.

Emily hurried to catch up. Lucas turned around and looked at the elite red insect man on the ground whose neck Emily had cut. After collecting its body, he also took a few quick steps to catch up.
