I, the undead, save the world with the dolls

Anyway, there is no update today...and Girls' Frontline is going to do a live broadcast, which I definitely have to watch.

Anyway, I'll update tomorrow. I also need to figure out how to structure XCOM.

433 The city where the mutants live is really weird

Laughing, you bunch of aliens, do you really think you can catch me? Sun Yang easily ran across half a block in a completely unscientific but magical way.

More and more armed aliens and mutants rushed towards the block where Sun Yang was previously. Not only were there various mutant soldiers, but also some aliens with psychic powers came in groups.

Judging from the situation, they would probably dig three feet deep to find Sun Yang.

However, the elders would never have imagined that Sun Yang was not only a human with super physical performance, but also could perform strange magic.

Of course, these elders would definitely guess that Sun Yang was some kind of "psychic master" with abundant psychic power. They would probably take this into account when arranging their personnel.

But the problem is that Sun Yang doesn't use psychic energy, he uses the Dark Soul system, which is to use concentration or willpower to cast spells. This thing doesn't produce any psychic energy fluctuations.

Those elders probably set up a device to detect strong psychic energy fluctuations, so anyone who released psychic energy could be detected.

Sun Yang could only say, "You're overthinking it. I don't have a single ounce of spiritual energy. The energy fluctuations of the signal tower next door are even more intense than mine."

While running away, he also stole a drug addict's phone. He had to figure out the current time and place, and find out what stage the XCOM mission was at.

Sun Yang didn't run while frantically checking his phone for information. Instead, he assigned the Oasis network team—the network security experts headed by Antonina—to the task of gathering relevant intelligence. Dedicated personnel for dedicated tasks.

"Antonina, I got the phone. Is your communication system working properly?" Sun Yang waved his hand and threw the phone onto Antonina's desk in the main base.

"The communication system is functioning normally. It seems those Void Spirit Elders can only restrict your departure from this world, but lack sensitivity to inter-world signals, or perhaps they are unable to detect them." Antonina immediately grabbed the phone and began fiddling with it.

"I don't think so. It's the vast soul energy of this world that obscures the existence of the base. Not even Andil can penetrate this protection." Strider stood behind a group of Oasis humanoids, watching the excitement.

He was also called over to see if he could help. If Sun Yang had confirmed that it was safe, he would be summoned by Sun Yang as soon as possible.

Strider can help Sun Yang create and develop various things and provide combat power, so that he can explore the mysteries of different worlds. He can't wait to enter this world and take a look around.

"I'll finish your crazy nonsense when everyone has some free time. Well, even though this is a technologically advanced world, the programming algorithms used are still quite strange. I'll first gather the useful information."

Antonina was not going to be polite with this human wearing an iron mask and cursed him directly.

She pulled over a bunch of operating tools and started to operate them on her phone, using the phone's internet function to quickly collect and organize information about the area.

[Professor, you are currently in New York City in the XCOM world. This city is a newly built boomtown by the Mutant Government on the original site, and it is the largest city in the surrounding area.]

Antonina immediately compiled the information she could collect into a report and handed it to Sun Yang.

Although there is actually nothing to transfer, under the rule of aliens, humans have basically not done anything fancy, and the Internet is full of articles about friendly communication with aliens.

"I think what I might need is more 'tactical' intelligence. Can I find the aliens' military bases, or facilities for researching avatars?" Sun Yang sneaked into an alley, was knocked down by a few ruffians with a few punches, and got a new mobile phone.

Sun Yang checked the map on his phone, searched for the location of the gene therapy clinic, and walked into the subway station. Surely the subway wasn't completely equipped with scanners?

However, as soon as Sun Yang walked into the subway station, the subway alarm system started beeping non-stop. Sun Yang could only click his tongue and run away quickly.

Soon the station staff and the mutant team came running over. The team blocked the subway entrance, and the staff scratched their heads after watching the surveillance video.

Although the scanning records of the psychic network monitoring system showed that something that was not logged in the database was trying to enter the subway station.

However, after checking the nearby surveillance equipment, the staff found nothing. It was all in vain, pure air.

"Hey, can you send someone to fix the system? It keeps sounding the alarm every few days, and it never catches anyone. Last time it was a cat, and the one before that it was a pigeon. It catches everything but humans."

The staff member complained to the mutant team in a very Buddhist and fearless manner.

"Mora Baten!" The mutant simply uttered a series of unclear lines. Although the locals didn't understand what they were saying, considering the context, they could just take it as "mind your own business," "stop talking nonsense," and "bullshit."

"Okay, okay, I'll check it out. Anyway, it was just an accidental touch, it's okay, soldier. I'll keep a closer eye next time and report back if there's anything wrong."

The staff had no choice but to shrug their shoulders, take a casual look inside the machine, and then send these mutants away.

Beep, beep! The alarm sounded again, and the mutants looked around nervously. The staff member scratched his head, looked at the record, saw another "illegal entry detected", and then looked at the camera, which showed nothing.

"Maintenance accidental touch!" the staff member shouted casually.

Meanwhile, Sun Yang, seeing that the visitors were just a bunch of scumbags, decisively crossed the subway entrance, climbed over the ticket gate, and danced onto the subway. He wanted to take the subway to the nearest genetic clinic; running on the ground was too slow.

Antonina just shared this world's design for subway security with Sun Yang, and the result is quite surprising.

That surveillance system is quite powerful. The subway is an important means of transportation within the city, so the aliens installed surveillance systems at every subway entrance.

And because it is connected to the psychic network, this monitoring and detection system also has some alien technology. Specifically, it is super sensitive and will alarm if it finds something amiss.

Sun Yang was detected while walking. The logic is: there's human-like movement in the air, but after checking the database, it doesn't match, which triggers an immediate alarm.

It is said that the resistance soldiers were able to pass the detection by wrapping their heads with tinfoil or carrying a few mirrors on their backs, so the aliens had to upgrade the detection system.

Well, its detection system is very powerful and very sensitive, but its camera is very ordinary, that is, an ordinary optical camera.

After all, XCOM had a lot of fancy tricks, but it didn't come up with something like an invisibility cloak. As for the aliens, aside from a certain chosen one, none of them had true invisibility. There was no demand for it, and no need to replace it.

At first, the aliens were very satisfied and even provided a system that would immediately block the subway entrance after an alarm was sounded.

But this system is stupid. The slightest breeze will sound an alarm, the entrance of a cat will sound an alarm, and even ordinary people wearing scarves will sound an alarm when it's cold. The citizens of Bengbu are really crazy and are complaining like crazy, but the mutant government has ignored them.

Later, the rebels discovered that if they couldn't defeat the mutants, they could deliberately run into the subway station, causing the subway station to close and block the doors when it detected a mismatch in the signal.

This metal door is so strong (to prevent XCOM from escaping), even the pursuing mutant team cannot open it for a while, and someone needs to open it manually.

The rebels had already fled by this time. Each rebel team carried a short-circuit tool, which allowed them to find a maintenance port inside to short-circuit and directly open the door blocking the road.

However, the vast majority of mutants do not have the intelligence to short-circuit, and they are not smart at all.

After opening the door, the rebels found a safe passage through the long subway tunnels and moved away, and the mutants couldn't catch up with them at all.

As for letting mutants prepare garrisons in the subway... if there are too few people stationed there, it will be useless, and if there are too many people stationed there, they will simply not come to your subway station.

If we fill all the subway stations... honestly, we don't have enough manpower. Adding more people? Impossible. The elders wouldn't be happy with so many things.

I created mutants to minimize resources, and you're adding more people? All the resources for the Avatar Project have already been used up. What's my point? That's probably the elders' attitude.

In short, because the rebels used this trick too many times, the mutants had no patience left, so they had no choice but to dismantle the entire blockade system.

This is why, after the alarm sounded at the subway station, only the alarm sounded, but the doors were not immediately closed and sealed. This is the experience learned by the mutant army.

Of course, this is also why the staff member is so arrogant. He knows better than anyone how tricky this system is. Damn, if he didn't see the person, then it must be an accidental touch, right?

***

The New York subway is synonymous with filth and disorder. It's the same no matter where you go in the world.

Sun Yang remained silent, waiting quietly for the subway to arrive at the designated location. He was waiting for Antonina to crack the local network.

But Antonina frowned. It seemed difficult for her to crack the network of this world, and it was also difficult to affect various facilities through electronic warfare.

After some attempts, she could only scratch her head and said that she was afraid she could not crack the alien network, or she should be given some more time.

I don't understand. There's something wrong with this world's network. When I use a conventional algorithmic decoder, there's always a verification message I can't bypass. But this verification message doesn't seem to be purely physical...

"Last time, the radiation was a very strange programming language, but this time it's not even programming. Professor, do you have to go to such a weird place? Every time I go to such a weird place, my blood pressure goes up."

Antonina scratched her long green hair frantically.

"That's probably because of the psychic network." Sun Yang could only shrug. Since there were few people on the subway, he just spoke casually.

"So, Professor, could you explain what this 'psychic network' is? With your knowledge, you should be able to provide some clues, right?" Antonina asked unhappily.

"No. Because I don't understand. Unlike some common data storage encoding methods we encounter on Earth, aliens seem to use a high-end matrix model structure that includes mechanical and biological encoding, as well as some form of psychic interference. It is both frightening and exciting to reveal the aliens' most complex designs." Sun Yang said confidently.

As for how psychic powers and communication networks are connected, the original novel doesn't explain it clearly, so asking me to explain it to you is quite difficult. It's not like I'm just making things up. The technology of combining machinery and biology is a Paradis patent, and Griffin doesn't know anything about it.

"While I'm certainly interested, I can't crack the information hidden on the network anytime soon. Intelligence support will probably take several days... Professor, you don't think that just because we can create synthetic humans, I'll have some kind of psychic inspiration to quickly crack local information, right?"

The machine in front of Antonina kept flashing electrical signals, and dozens of decoders were working in parallel.

"Should it be of some help?" Sun Yang asked.

[Wrong. There's no help. Because this world plays a different style. Ugh... mechanical and biological coding, psychic interference... It's really weird.]

Antonina could only sigh again.

"It's okay. I remember XCOM should be very good at these decoding tasks. They have been fighting against the aliens in this world for more than 20 years. These electronic warfare problems can definitely be solved." Sun Yang comforted Antonina.

"Professor, are you looking down on me? Are you looking down on my skills as a cybersecurity engineer?" Antonina glanced at Sun Yang, then turned her head away. "But as the saying goes, a lot of code needs to be borrowed from each other. If that's what the professor wants, I'm open to collaborating with the XCOM guys."

[I think I understand why I need to be a little tsundere here.] M4, who had remained silent the whole time, couldn't help but complain.

[M4, emotional intelligence.] AR15 crouched in his power armor, reading a novel while maintaining contact.

[I smell opportunity.] M4 raised his head.

"Miss M4, please cut the crap and stop forcing the professor to find new people. By the way, your electronic warfare capabilities are custom-made, right? Where's the support?" Antonina complained.

"I'm doing it, I'm doing it... I need to filter the information nearby... Yang, there's an avatar research facility in the suburbs. I'm also monitoring XCOM's covert communications traffic; they have an observer near the base," M4 reported quickly.

"Relying on computing power to crack it is faster. I will continue to crack the algorithm." Antonina was rarely depressed.

"It's impossible to rely on M4 for everything. Antonina doesn't need to be so sad." Sun Yang comforted her, then he looked at the subway timetable. He was about to get off.

[Yang, what's your plan?] M4 asked.

"I think it's better to let XCOM find me instead of looking for XCOM. I'm going to go to the genetic clinic in the city and take a truck to the avatar facility in the suburbs. Then I'll make some noise and let XCOM pick me up." Sun Yang laid out his simple and crude plan.

434 The best signal is a big fight

Late at night, a transport truck stealthily departed from the Gene Clinic. Sun Yang was sitting on top of the truck. When he encountered a checkpoint, he jumped out, walked around to the front, and then jumped back on.

Aliens have promised humans that they can use genetic technology to cure various genetic diseases, cancer, AIDS, and other illnesses, and invite humans to enter genetic clinics for treatment.

But in fact, they only collect DNA information through genetic diagnosis and treatment. They will screen out human genes that meet the requirements of the incarnation plan, and those that meet the requirements will be secretly transported to a secret research facility.

Once there, there was no chance of them escaping alive. The aliens would definitely not let these people leave alive.

In the transport vehicle under Sun Yang's butt were ten humans who had entered a deep sleep on the pretext of "needing long-term treatment."

These humans will never see their friends and loved ones again, and the Mutant Government will blame XCOM and the Resistance for their disappearance.

For example, find evidence that the subject provided intelligence to XCOM, or tell the subject's family that the subject has abandoned his family and joined the resistance (which the mutant government calls "shameful traitors").

Although the relatives of the subjects will be heartbroken, they will not have too many doubts or disgust about it.

After all, aliens have been on Earth for 20 years, and many of their ideas have become deeply ingrained. They may even use various means to subtly influence human thinking.

Those who disobeyed or hated the aliens had already fled the city. Those who stayed were willing to obey, so naturally they would not have too many doubts.

The transporter left the city. Sun Yang stroked the spiral sword, thinking about how to destroy the base later. Sure enough, the mine gun was the best choice. The mine gun was very cool, and it would be unjust for a psychic master not to use the mine gun.

This time, your public identity is just the Psionic Master. As for why Psionic can be used to perform spells, heal enemies, and pull teammates out... that's just a different way to use Psionic. Don't be so limited by your own Psionic abilities (huh).

After all, explaining magic to those XCOM people would be more difficult. Sun Yang watched the surrounding scenery gradually change from buildings to dry yellow soil, and then to sparse trees.

"M4, Antonina, have you established contact with the XCOM people?" Sun Yang asked the two humanoids with the strongest electronic warfare capabilities in the base.

"No, no, no. I can't do that, even if you kill me." Antonina rolled her eyes. No matter how efficient the Reality Department was, they couldn't do it. She was still busy deciphering the alien code and had no time to make a phone call.

"I've contacted them, but XCOM hasn't responded. They probably think we're a smokescreen from aliens," M4 said calmly.

"Okay, it's okay. I just need to make some noise, and the XCOM people will find me - if they don't find me, I can continue to sabotage." The vehicle under Sun Yang's butt was running very fast, and the avatar research facility appeared hazily in front.

It's time to give the aliens of this world a little shock. Sun Yang stood up in the cold wind, the tip of the spiral sword flashing briefly.

【Dark Art: Peaceful Slow Steps】

Adds a huge weight (or blocking force) to the surrounding units, making it impossible for everyone to run or roll quickly, and can only walk slowly.

When Sun Yang released this secret technique, the speed of the car gradually decreased. As the power of his spell increased, the car's speed became slower and slower. The driver, puzzled, stepped on the accelerator to the limit, but could not speed up.

Sun Yang swung the Spiral Sword again, and two soul arrows shot out from the tip, piercing the roof of the cab. The two people sitting in the cab were immediately pierced through and died tragically in their seats.

The transport vehicle immediately began to sway unsteadily from side to side, but Sun Yang simply increased the effect of the peaceful and slow pace. The huge braking force provided by the dark technique quickly brought the vehicle to a steady stop.

He got out of the car, tore open the back door, and cast a "Healing Blessing" and "Recovery" spell on the unconscious people inside, freeing everyone from their drowsiness and injuries.

"Huh? Am I not at the genetic clinic?" These people got up in confusion. After seeing them wake up, Sun Yang did not stay here for too long.

After removing the effects of the dark technique, he ran towards the avatar research facility in the distance.

"Observer, Frederique Masier, March 2035, 3, 1:0500. Regular contact." A man wearing a camouflage cloak and huddled in a haystack pressed the call button.

"Avengers received." The liaison officer on the Avenger, XCOM's flagship, responded.
