The Last City

Thirty-one days ago, Ashcroft City disappeared. Not physically. Its radio towers still broadcast static. Its traffic lights still change. Its trains still arrive on schedule. But no one ever leaves. Military drones sent into the city stop transmitting after exactly 18 minutes and 43 seconds. Satellites cannot photograph the downtown district. The government quarantines everything within fifty kilometers and officially labels it an industrial chemical disaster. Unofficially... Everyone knows something is inside. Your Squad — Unit ECHO-4 You belong to the world's most elite recovery team. Four specialists. Four survivors. No reinforcements. No rescue.
