Neon City or Tracking: A Planned Tragedy (zs_neoncity) is the second chapter of Zombie Scenario: Season 8 in Counter-Terrorist.

Map info[]

Some of the subjects who managed to escape, including the Queen and Cyborg, appeared to have succeeded in escaping by hijacking a helicopter, but everything was the beginning of a tragedy.

Background[]

Queen and her party managed to escape from the laboratory, and while traveling in a helicopter, they crashed on the roof of an unidentified city building due to a chase attack. A bizarre city full of colorful lights but no traces of people. It was a tragedy rather than hope that awaited them in Kronos' planned experimental city. A mysterious monster appears in front of Queen's and the group, who slowly entered their planned trap by going back and forth between the roof and the inside of the building.

Goal[]

Escape from the unknown city.
Defeat the unknown Kronos' Behemoth and survive.

Wait time fade screen (20 seconds) - ze_message operation

David Black: It is an honor to meet Queen, the commander of the famous mercenary corps like this.
Queen: Was I that famous? It's funny to be honored.
David Black: Aren't I famous enough to come here like this?
Queen: Then you'll know what I like the most. And nothing is free in this world.
David Black: You're a pretty sarcastic friend. It's a relationship that we met like this, can we talk about the past?
Queen: It's the past. If you want to hear why I want to be with you, I can do it.

Trigger number 50 - starting point (helicopter crash point)

Cyborg: Serious damage to the fuselage. Attempt an emergency landing. Everyone be prepared for impact.
Queen: Wow... it was breathtaking. Thanks to your emotionless tin brain, we survived.
Cyborg: Determining local structure... Use safe structures to move downstairs.
Queen: Ha.. damn bastards. I almost got a weapon test after an unwanted human test.
Queen: Hey can. You didn't seem to follow me, so why did you follow me?

Queen: Is there any loyalty to the tin can? What's the good thing. Please guide me somewhere.
Cyborg: Start covering."

Trigger #1 - Rooftop Bridge (Cloud Bridge)

Queen: What the hell is this dazzling building? It's overly glamorous, but there's no sign of a human being.
Cyborg: Current location unknown. Risk of direct descent in this area is very high.
Queen: Yeah. It's on the roof of the building here, so jumping off it would be dangerous for us too. Is there any good way?
Cyborg: Move using surrounding terrain. Success rate. Very high.
Queen: Features... we're not heroes, what can we do?

Queen: Are you sure what the tin judged? Follow me.

Queen: I'll take Tin's opinion.
