Less than an hour into the landing battle of the Expeditionary Army in District 17, despair and panic had already enveloped these soldiers who were stepping onto the battlefield for the first time.
A grave error had occurred in the intelligence of the United Government; an unprecedented enemy was waiting for them beneath the city.
The airstrikes had indeed impacted the monsters within the city, but the soldiers soon realized that these mutants were not the easily crushable bugs as advertised in the United Government's intelligence reports. Instead, they were unknown creatures that continuously evolved with the course of the battle. What chilled them even more was that the discipline of these mutants seemed to be stricter than their own.
Half an hour after the battle commenced, a group of mutants, covered with spores, penetrated the perimeter defenses of the Expeditionary Army through underground tunnels, directly reaching the temporarily constructed forward command center.
