"If possible, we should try not to go to densely populated residential areas and industrial areas with complex terrain."
Touching the stubble on his chin, Edward turned the pencil slightly and looked at the danger zone that had been drawn on the map. He still felt something was wrong. After thinking for a moment, he asked the man who was looking at the terrain map.
Levsky: "What's the terrain like around the town?"
"It's mostly hills and mountains, which is why this town has a developed metal industry."
He gently placed the transformed topographic map on the table, with rough lines drawn on it with a pencil, but everyone who had received military education could clearly see what was drawn on it.
Liukov watched quietly from the side and nodded: "For our current armed forces, it's pretty good."
Now under Edward, AK-M assault rifles are common, grenade launchers and light machine guns are already available, not to mention sniper rifles and heavy machine guns. Even among the Russian army in the previous life, they were still an elite firepower-enhanced class.
.
"Add more combat personnel. We currently have one American Ranger, seven Alpha Special Forces soldiers, and one Russian armored group soldier. Plus Chief Edward, you only have nine people. There is basically not much advantage in street fighting."
Kratos mentally estimated his own strength, clicked on the two maps of the residential area, reached for the pencil and wrote the words "extremely dangerous" on it, and said slowly: "For this population of five thousand
There are even more people in this small town, and we are just a small part of it.”
Although street fighting does not require a high number of people, for a combat team of nine people, the densely packed rooms and a large number of windows will be the enemy's most effective hiding place and place for surprise attacks.
Street fighting is different from field fighting. A large number of buildings will add a lot of bunkers to one's own side, but at the same time it also increases the opponent's hiding ability. If one actually enters a residential area to fight, Kratos can even imagine that nine people can't even reach the flanks.
Unable to protect.
"Then I will continue to recruit a group of combat soldiers." Edward nodded, this was an obvious thing.
I'm afraid there won't be many remaining humans in the entire town. The most likely number is a few hundred, and the number of virus-infected people is probably at least 3,000, and there are at least a lot of intermediate-level infected people, and even high-level infected people are possible.
.
Even if you are armed to the teeth, I am afraid that you will not be able to deal with thousands of difficult infected people. Moreover, these guys still have all kinds of human skills and even wisdom. Using the weapons of the National Guard and police in the small town, I am afraid that they will not be able to deal with them.
It's difficult.
Thinking of the National Guard, Edward was suddenly startled. He turned to look at Liukov, who was reading a lot of information, and asked: "How is the armed force of this town?"
"Two years ago, the U.S. Army stationed a light infantry battalion, but it was withdrawn due to certain circumstances."
There were a large number of books in front of Lyukov, including diaries of meteorological observers and books describing this town. There were many books there. After hearing Edward's words, Lyukov immediately reacted and found two books.
After flipping through it a few times, he said: "Because it is an industrial and mining town, the entertainment district is prosperous, and there are nearly 500 police officers."
"but…"
After a pause, Liukov found three more books, frowned and said: "This town's attitude towards private ownership of guns is very ambiguous..." Licking the corner of his mouth, he looked at the strings above.
Phrase, confused: "Sometimes people are even encouraged to take to the streets with guns."
If he were just an ordinary person who came to work in this town, he would just discuss this kind of thing, but now Edward came to risk his life to carry out the mission.
"What does the diary say?" Edward asked immediately.
This kind of law is obviously against the will of the government. How could it be issued? You must know that the harm to society caused by private possession of guns is quite great! Even in the United States in the previous life, only one or two states allowed private possession.
Weapons, and there are strict legal requirements.
"Three months ago, the government suddenly went on a local TV station to encourage everyone to buy more weapons. The reason was to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the founding of the town and to remember the original cowboys who used guns to protect the town."
Liukov continued to flip through the book and connected the information he had seen before. His brows could not help but frown. After thinking for a moment, he said: "The mineral veins in the mountains not far from the factory area were completely destroyed by a large company.
Monopoly, local residents have a strong sense of protest against this."
"A mine that is monopolized by big companies?"
Edward's eyes lit up slightly. This was a more important piece of information. He looked at the map on the table in front of him, gently drew a piece of the mountains on the edge of the town with a pen, clicked heavily a few times, raised his head and asked:
"These veins?"
"That's right." Liukov nodded, looked at the map of the town that was obviously not the full size, and frowned: "According to the records in the book, the town we are in is at least three times the size of that map!"
As he spoke, he took out a book, which briefly described the town. But summarizing the meaning of the words above, Edward really found that the map in his hand and the topographic map found in the weather station were completely incomprehensible.
All show the size of this small town.
"And the industrial zone alone is twice as big as this."
Levsky suddenly interjected, also holding a diary-like book in his hand. After opening it, he read a paragraph and read slowly: "I once went to test-fly a weather balloon, but was blocked by security personnel. Star
Croton Mining Company is really..."
"Wait, Stark Consolidated Mining Company?"
Edward immediately interrupted Levsky's words. He suddenly raised his head, reached for the diary, and looked through it quickly. However, as he turned over the pages, he found nothing. They were just ordinary diaries.
However, these three words Stark shocked him greatly.
"Stark in "Iron Man"?" Edward narrowed his eyes slightly. He felt that this mission might not be that simple. Just relying on the memory of his previous life, Stark Company, which can manufacture steel armed mechas, is a super company.
A powerful presence!
"Sure enough, I need more combat personnel!"
Edward gritted his teeth and looked at the scenery outside the window, his heart sinking a little. This biochemical crisis similar to the T-virus outbreak definitely has something to do with the Umbrella Company. If the biochemical giant Umbrella Company in this world has no responsibility, he
Don’t believe it!
"If we are surrounded by these crazy guys, I'm afraid we will be killed alive!"
Kratos threw down the book in his hand. There were some meteorological books in front of him, and his understanding of the data was not applicable. He glanced at Edward, shrugged and said: "We definitely need more soldiers to help us fight together.
"
"Wait, what are you going to say?" Edward frowned slightly. He suddenly found something familiar. As Kratos' words loomed in his mind, he seemed to have thought of something.
Kratos tilted his head slightly, frowned and looked at Edward, and said casually: "We need more soldiers to fight together. Boss, what's the problem?"
"No, no, it's your last sentence." Edward frowned. The memory of his previous life suddenly started to float again in his mind. He couldn't help pinching his eyebrows, allowing himself to relax slightly and continue thinking, because this was simply too familiar.
.
"Uh... if we are surrounded by these crazy guys, we will be killed alive?"
Kratos had a puzzled expression on his face, but looking at Edward's solemn expression, he couldn't help but become solemn. After thinking for a while, he said without hesitation: "Is this it?" He didn't say much before.
It's easy to remember.
"If we are surrounded by these crazy guys... we have to fight our way out..." Edward was suddenly startled and murmured this sentence. With this introduction, the memory of the past life slowly lifted the veil and emerged.
When he came out, he suddenly straightened up and looked at the soldiers around him with a smile: "I think I know..."
"Sir, what?"
The three people looked at each other, showing slight doubts. Looking at Edward's smile, they couldn't help but ask: "Did any useful information appear?"
"Intelligence? That's right!" Edward looked at the map on the table, suddenly pointed the pencil at the large lake that was originally only marked generally, clicked a few times and said: "Is this the only source of drinking water in the town?"
"Hmm, that's right, but I'm afraid it was infected by a transport plane carrying the virus."
Levski glanced at Edward. This was the mission details that Edward himself had said when he entered the town before. However, SHIELD did not specify whether to go there to investigate. In order to prevent casualties, Edward rejected this plan.
After pondering for a moment, Edward raised his head and looked at everyone, with a slightly solemn expression on his face: "Don't drink the water in this town!" He looked at the lake, combined with the things that gradually came to mind, and said: "Drink.
If you use the water in this town, I’m afraid you’ll be exactly the same as those guys!”
Edward shook his head, his eyes slightly solemn, and he looked heavily at the upper and lower sides of the map. The lakes and mineral veins suddenly became extremely conspicuous. He pondered for a moment, then slowly raised his head and said: "These two locations are the most dangerous locations!"
Watching the Alpha soldiers who had finished disposing of the bodies enter the room, Edward showed a disdainful smile: "'Deus d'Etat'? Sure enough, he was infected by the virus and became an intelligent monster!"
