Maxwell left the basement of the institute, where the team was already waiting for him.

All of them were heavily armed, the soldiers were leaning on armored vehicles, this was a well-equipped force, even in a place like the Shanghai headquarters of the Global Epidemic Prevention Center, they were rare good players, everyone was well-trained and experienced, they were Maxwell's own soldiers, brothers who supported each other in the rain of bullets, and the major trusted them more than his own.

Seeing Maxwell, the soldiers stood upright, raised their hands and saluted.

"Take a break."

The man's face was serious, he glanced around, and the light in his eyes shone through the heart. Maxwell Hugh Sean, this is a dreaded name, at least for all the caves in the Shanghai area.

He is the commander of the defense force of the Shanghai headquarters of the Global Epidemic Prevention Center, with the rank of major, and once served in the famous US Delta Special Forces, in the era of the apocalyptic virus, he and his soldiers were the most elite anti-terrorist force in the US military.

The cave is the most troublesome disease in the apocalyptic era, the so-called "cave" is just a private name for people, used to describe their bottomless darkness and the imprisonment of human nature, the official name of the cave is "illegal civil armed organizations", all civil armed groups that do not obey the official management belong to the cave, this is a mixed group, very tricky.

In the early days of the apocalyptic virus outbreak, due to the slow response of government agencies, the spread of the epidemic caused a large number of infections and deaths, the inability of the police and the military triggered a widespread crisis of confidence, and the public began to lose confidence in the authorities, so many armed civil society groups spontaneously gathered to protect themselves, they were mostly mafia, arms dealers and drug dealers. In the first two years of the crisis, many ordinary people also gathered around these groups for refuge because of their strong armed forces.

This was the beginning of the cave.

But now the caves have long since deteriorated, and in the long years of desolation, the caves have been lawless and anarchic for a long time, and the greed and desire in the hearts of the people have begun to rise, and these armed groups have long since become a means of saving the lives of civilians, but have become tools for some people to grab power and money.

The mafia and the arms dealers tasted the sweetness, they refused to be co-opted by the government, they began to occupy the mountains as kings, carved territories, treated ordinary people as slaves, and the ruling class had the power to kill and kill like the emperors of ancient times, they had all the resources for survival, weapons, food, fresh water, including women, and those who dared to resist were shot in public.

In the midst of this global catastrophe, and indeed in the entire history of mankind, the cave is the darkest side.

For the government, the cave is a more difficult opponent than the infected, the cave is not a zombie, they are both human beings, the government because of the consideration of innocent people, in the face of the cave to take the means of Huairou, the last resort to use force to exterminate, the cave often calculates this, they take civilians as hostages, take advantage of the government's hesitation to fight back wildly, and eventually lead to heavy losses for the government army.

Three years have passed since the outbreak of the apocalyptic virus, and most of the caves around Shanghai have been wiped out, and the survivors have been moved to safe zones.

The force responsible for exterminating the cave is Maxwell Hugh Sean and his defense force at the Shanghai headquarters of the Global Epidemic Prevention Center, in the mouth of the caves, this ruthless soldier is called the "Iron Mask Death", it is said that Maxwell never negotiates with any cave, does not even give a chance to surrender, and none of the cave leaders he captures survive.

The defense force of the Shanghai headquarters of the Global Epidemic Prevention Center is an armed force subordinate to the gene plasmid company, they are not government troops, but they have stronger combat effectiveness than the government army, and the members of the force are almost all former government army elites, such as Major Maxwell Sean, who left the government army and chose to work for the gene plasmid company, just because the conditions and treatment offered by the company are higher.

In the wake of the Doomsday Virus outbreak, Gene Plasmid was the most responsive organization, working with the government to defend against the Doomsday Virus and gaining command of some of the armed forces, which expanded as the pandemic grew.

"Boys, it's time for us to go."

Maxwell put his helmet on and slipped his pistol into his holster.

More than a dozen armored vehicles were parked in the open field, this is an American-made M1126 Stryker armored car, equipped with a 25 mm cannon and an M2 heavy machine gun, and each armored car can carry seven infantrymen, and there are eighteen armored vehicles here, which means a total of one hundred and twenty-six infantrymen.

With such a force, nothing can stop it.

The soldiers started the engines of their vehicles, and the equipment of the defense forces was incomparable to that of the caves, which were at best a group of bandits, armed with civilian firearms and lacked heavy weapons, but the defense forces were a well-trained regular army.

Before the outbreak of the crisis, Gene Plasmid was the world's largest multinational group, the company's business covers biology, medicine, software, electronics, financial industries and even agriculture and transportation, the company's market value once exceeded 1.2 trillion US dollars, benefiting from the company's strong financial resources and influence, the company's armed forces can buy heavy weapons from the US Army, from Stryker armored vehicles to Apache helicopter gunships, the Shanghai headquarters defense force is such a fully mechanized force.

If it weren't for the survivors, Maxwell could have razed the cave to the ground with a large-caliber howitzer from a distance of thirty kilometers.

Maxwell sat in the passenger seat of the Hummer, "It's half past one in the afternoon, and if it's faster, I hope to be back before six o'clock." ”

"Six o'clock?" The player in the back seat leaned over and patted him on the shoulder, "It takes more than four hours?" I wish I could be back for dinner, why is it so long? This is the last cave in Shanghai, right? ”

"Just because it's the last one, they need to be cautious, and it's not for nothing that they've been able to hold on until now." Maxwell said, "The name of this cave is 'Earth Defense Force,' and I heard that there are many retired soldiers who have a lot of combat experience. ”

"Earth Defense Forces?" Someone in the channel laughed, "Which idiot took this name?" Are they playing Star Wars? ”

"Don't laugh." Maxwell shook his head, "These people are not stupid, they are also very cunning, they have evaded our previous searches, which shows that they have strong anti-detection capabilities." According to intelligence, there should have been retired special forces soldiers in this cave as instructors, so it is likely that these people are well trained. ”

"But a cave is a cave, what kind of climate can a bandit become?" Someone said in the channel, "They are bullying unarmed civilians, the elderly, children and women." ”

"The people who came out of these bandits' dens have probably never seen what the regular army looks like."

"By the time we get there, they'll be scared and call Daddy."

"That's the end of the chatter." Maxwell frowned, these people were getting more and more out of bounds, "Everyone repeat the plan of action, check the equipment, and go!" ”

“Yeah，sir！”
