From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man

"Jonathan! Take your people to block the right wing, and don't let those zombies escape later!"

"Horst, Nona! Your platoon is responsible for sweeping this neighborhood!"

On the communication channel, an order from a company commander resounded.

Among the deserted streets under the scorching midday sun, more than a hundred Emergency Response Soldiers (AECS) wearing dark green camouflage combat uniforms, equipped with semi-covering mechanical skeletons and face-covering helmets were quickly dispersing in platoon units. open.

Then, the AECS began to use their respective tactical teams as a basis to sweep the dilapidated buildings on both sides of the street one by one.

One of the standard tactical teams of nine people gathered outside an apartment building.

The captain holding the AMWS Commander type pressed against the left wall and moved his right hand forward, seemingly giving some kind of order through gestures and their team communication.

Immediately afterwards, two machine gunners armed with .30cal smart machine guns came to the main entrance and pointed their guns at the apartment building with broken glass and peeling paint on the walls.

Da da da…

During this period, sporadic gunshots were heard all around.

The captain, four riflemen, and two blasters also quickly rushed to the main entrance and cooperated with their comrades to build a fan-shaped fire line.

Buzz!

Then, they used individual equipment to release a low-decibel noise that could not be heard by human ears, and waited patiently for a few seconds...

"Roar!!"

With beast-like roars, countless "walking corpses" poured out of the apartment building.

Their muscles were withered, their bones were skinny, and their clothes were in tatters. They ran at extremely fast speeds through the stairs and the front door and rushed outside, or they jumped directly out of the window and smashed themselves on the road outside.

"Da da da!!"

However, the moment they appeared within the sighting range of the AECS team, they suffered concentrated fire attacks from 6.2mm rifle rounds, 20mm conventional shotgun shells and .30cal explosive shells.

Bang!

呲!

With just one encounter, the zombie's torso was shattered and limbs were torn apart. He instantly lost his ability to move and fell to the ground, completely losing his threat to the AECS.

In less than fifteen seconds, this team killed nearly a hundred walking corpses.

At this moment.

A rifleman's helmet screen displays various detailed information, including her name "Maggie Shaw", her team number "7", and "Main Universe Time: 2000" /03/27, 11:36".

"All riflemen and demolitioners, follow me into the target building to confirm whether the threat has been truly eliminated."

Hearing this, Maggie and her comrades followed the captain into the apartment building.

Alternating and covering each other, quick checks through close combat formations swept through the entire apartment building.

After confirming that no zombie was missed, they retreated outside the building and continued to sweep the remaining area.

12: 44.

More than an hour later.

This AECS company completed the neighborhood sweep mission very smoothly, and quickly returned to the base in the east on a Black Falcon assault boat that looked like a Black Hawk helicopter but used a jet engine.

The rifleman named Maggie Shaw sat on the right side of the open door, put her legs out of the cabin, and locked and fixed the mechanical skeleton to avoid being thrown out of the cabin in a sudden accident.

She unfolded her mask, revealing her distinct, heroic face, as well as her short brown-red female hair.

Being at a high altitude, she could have an unobstructed view of the town below...

It is a small town with a rather Greek architectural style.

When the assault boat formation carrying them reached the designated height and prepared to close the hatch and speed up, Maggie saw the still blue Aegean Sea and the city of Athens located on the east side of the Aegean Sea.

Take your legs back.

The hatch is closed.

Maggie, who returned to her seat, leaned back on the chair, closed her eyes and took a nap.

Her real name is Maggie Shaw. She just completed the military academy founded by Atlas last year. In early 2000, that is, at the beginning of this year, she joined AECS as a quasi-officer and real recruit, and was then transferred by the company to Earth (World War Z) conducts various "military exercises" with live ammunition.

After all, there is not much threat from the walking dead on Earth Zero-5, and our fellow human beings need to regain their lost territory step by step, so for them, it is the most suitable place to exercise their courage and improve their military literacy.

Before she entered college, she actually had the identity of a "freelance vigilante", that is -

Queen Maeve.

At that time, Walter had not yet collapsed, and Maggie did not know that she had been continuously injected with No. 5 compound as a child, thinking that she was born with super defense and strength.

In addition, she greatly admired the Queen of Connaught in ancient Irish mythology. She longed for her to be as valiant as she was, good at using strategy and force, and at the same time she was also the protector of her heirs and people.

Therefore, Maggie started wearing a mask when she was 14 years old, secretly assisting the police in dealing with gunmen, and also helping firefighters rush into fires to rescue trapped people.

Her "vigilante" career lasted until her 17th birthday.

Walt International sent an invitation to Xiang, saying that she could join a new superhero team led by the people of the motherland and have the best stage to carry out the spirit of punishing evil and promoting good.

Maggie was briefly confused about this.

Because her hometown is in the South Central, there is a certain resistance to the East Coast, especially New York.

But it is also Maggie's dream to join the top team and become a real superhero.

But before she made a decision, the soldier boy made various scandals on the Internet, which caused the image of Walter International to plummet, the stock price collapsed, and even the so-called strongest people of the motherland disappeared in an explosion.

This unexpected turn not only ended Maggie's dream of being a superhero, but also shattered the illusion of "natural power".

After learning that she was an accidental product of a biological weapon, she was on the verge of collapse.

After all, when she was unconscious, she was handed over to Walter by her parents on the grounds that they "wanted their children to get better."

However, the information and files exposed by Soldier Boy clearly stated that the probability of successfully acquiring "superpowers" is extremely low, and most children will end up with lifelong disabilities.

Fortunately, Atlas issued an announcement in time, showing that they have the means to remove compound No. 5 from the body, can provide low-cost treatment services to the public, and can also assist the authorities in solving the super scum who have completely "let themselves go".

Then, her family welcomed an Atlas agent.

Not only did the other party provide her with an admission notice to the military academy, she also learned that Atlas had been secretly observing all superpowers to know which "people" were worth saving.

Then, in order to continue to display her ambitions and prove the value of her existence, she resolutely joined the military academy founded by Atlas in New Accra to receive formal instruction and military training.

At the same time, the company clearly requires her, as well as some of the students who retain their superpowers, not to use their superpowers unless they are executing orders from their immediate superiors or in unavoidable emergencies.
