I, the undead, save the world with the dolls

These units are incredibly slow to deploy against the smaller, faster, and more agile XCOM soldiers. Again, what's the point of having you around after they've finished the fight? Just go back and collect dust.

Naturally, the artillery and armored vehicles were used to blow up the Avenger. Only when encountering such a situation could the Hunters call upon these heavy firepower to teach humans a lesson.

Now, he wants to teach Sun Yang a lesson.

The alien troops that were still gathering nearby and had not yet rushed up were mobilized. They followed the hunter's instructions and poured ammunition towards the designated location.

Several kilometers away, the alien's slender cannon was immediately charged, and then shot at Sun Yang according to the hunter's sniper direction.

***

Boom! Sun Yang felt nothing before his eyes. His last memory was a ball of red light shooting towards him. When he barely woke up, he found that his body had been shattered in two. All around him, chaotic firepower poured down towards him.

The flames had died down because there was nothing left to burn. The shell had completely destroyed everything around it, even the dirt pile.

Sun Yang was completely wiped out from his chest and abdomen. A single shot from the alien cannon was likely as powerful as a coastal defense artillery piece. His clothes had been ripped to shreds, and he was near death, his life in jeopardy.

The cannonball did not hit Sun Yang directly, but exploded about half a meter away from him.

The high-speed metal fragments shattered most of Sun Yang's body, but his upper body was barely preserved because the breastplate was the thickest and hardest part.

"Hu...Hu..." Sun Yang was now very grateful that he was an immortal. He could still live even though everything below his chest and abdomen was gone. The strength of his body was probably comparable to that of the Astartes.

I was so arrogant... Damn, how did that cannon hit me? I was in the fire, how did that cannon aim at me?

And no matter how accurate the cannon is, a half-meter error is ridiculous! I was running the whole time!

Could that hunter be directing artillery fire? He's sniped me so many times, there's no telling if there might be a signal indicator inside... But the most urgent thing is to get up and keep fighting. I can't waste time like this... If I continue to waste time, I'll really get myself killed!

Sun Yang thought about this and stretched out his arms. His two arms were also shattered by the explosion, and now they were slowly growing back thanks to the miracle effect of [Sunlight Nourishment].

Oh shit, where's my ring... my ring... my spiral sword? I need to find them quickly... Sense the magic, they're still nearby, not destroyed.

Oh, damn it! Sun Yang was just about to look around to see if he could find something useful.

As a result, when he turned his head, he saw a skinny figure standing next to a big rock a few hundred meters away. He was lying on the rock, holding a huge black sniper rifle.

"You...are not ready yet, XCOM...take the price." The hunter muttered softly, pulling the trigger repeatedly.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Sun Yang's tattered armor could no longer hold back. Only the protective power of [Golden Stone Oath] was still effective.

Three psychic bullets hit the same spot on Sun Yang's head. The first ripped open his skull, the second pierced his brain, and the third completely shattered his brain. Sun Yang's eyes widened as he died.

"Ha... Your strength is beyond my imagination." The hunter breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't expect that even in a dying state, his head could still withstand three bullets.

Then he watched helplessly as Sun Yang turned into a pile of ash, and the spiral sword next to him flashed with fire. A second later, a new Sun Yang, fully armed and intact, stood beside the spiral sword.

"Ah?" The hunters were dumbfounded.

444 Death is not coming

"You, what are you doing..." the hunter stammered. Even facing something so out of character, he couldn't remain calm.

How could a living being be resurrected? Even the Chosen One would simply activate an emergency transporter when seriously injured and transfer themselves to a stasis chamber to recover.

It had just spent so much effort to finish off Sun Yang, only for him to emerge intact in the blink of an eye. Nothing could be more despairing than this.

It's like the protagonist and his companions went through great pains to defeat the BOSS with courage, unity and strategy, but in the blink of an eye the BOSS pops out of the sword intact.

"You won't die?!" the hunter roared.

"You'll die, but I bet you'll have to kill me more than twenty times. You look confused, don't you, Hunter?" Sun Yang picked up the spiral sword from the ground. He waved it casually, and with a flick of his hand, he turned invisible, making it invisible to everyone.

"Where did he go?!" The hunter quickly used his sniper rifle to check. After switching detection modes several times without finding him, it decisively attached its psychic power and used it to search for Sun Yang.

Then it saw quite exaggerated life energy appearing in the eyepiece. Sun Yang just cast a few spells on the spot and then ran to pick up the ring.

The firing of long-range rockets and random shots from the Fury Cannon did not stop.

But facing the completely inaccurate artillery fire, Sun Yang didn't care much. After he picked up the ring and put it on, he turned around and looked at the hunter leisurely.

"Do you think I dare to rush up without any preparation? Do you think I am just betting on my good luck and thinking that I can do whatever I want because of my strong spiritual power?" Sun Yang's voice echoed in the air.

The hunter's feeling was growing increasingly unsettled. Had this creature been hiding its true abilities and ended up getting itself killed? It began to hesitate whether to retreat.

After all, its psychic energy was about to be exhausted, and the enemy before it was so tenacious that it made people despair and saw no hope of victory. However, the elders had clearly told them before - whoever could destroy XCOM would gain absolute rule over the Earth.

If we let XCOM go this time, we won’t know when we can catch them again, and we may not be the one to carry out the mission.

"I must defeat you--" The hunter had just raised his gun when he saw Sun Yang condense a small black ball from the spiral sword. The small black ball seemed to have tracking ability and flew straight towards him.

The hunter immediately changed his position. As soon as he jumped off the rock, he heard a huge explosion behind him. The rock was blown to pieces.

Dark Art: Strong Soul Resonance. This activated life energy bomb pursues the enemy as if possessing a will of its own. However, despite being a homing bomb, its pathing logic is rather clumsy, and it only moves in a straight line.

Sun Yang curled his lips and didn't chase after him. The hunter's legs were much longer than his, and he had received rigorous training. Even if he ran to his death, he would not be able to catch up.

But just because Sun Yang couldn't catch up didn't mean others couldn't. Sun Yang gripped the spiral sword tightly, pouring all his magic power and a large amount of soul into it.

"Rukatiye! Strade! Get ready to join the battle!" Sun Yang opened the window and started communicating with the two undead.

[Roger that, Master Sun Yang.] Strider seemed quite excited. Besides the staff, he also carried a small bag containing recovery items like the elemental bottle, dripping stone, and Dawn Grass.

"I'm ready, my lord." Rukatiye changed into modern protective gear and a helmet. Her armor also contained various healing items. Her weapon was a large, snow-white sword, shimmering with a faint blue light.

[Lord?] Strider glanced back in confusion. He seemed to want to correct Rukatiye's address, but considering Master Sun Yang's completely indifferent attitude, he decisively shut his mouth and didn't explain.

"We haven't had our wedding yet." Rukatiye shrugged, and then the two of them were summoned by Sun Yang to the world of XCOM.

It seemed that because Sun Yang actively transferred magic power and soul to protect them, the two emerged from Sun Yang's side without any obstruction.

"Hu... You all know the situation. Rukatiye, there is an escaping Chosen One sniper behind the rock, kill him! Strade, you go deal with the EMP facility, and I'll go fire the cannon." After Sun Yang finished speaking, he quickly sat down on the spot, made a portrait to remove the zombie state, and by the way, gave Rukatiye a gold and stone oath.

"Don't take your life lightly just because you're immortal. Stop using your face to take cannons. I don't want to be a widow... I'm going to chase that hunter, so be careful."

Rukatiye complained, she hit Sun Yang on the chest, drank a bag of green grass and coffee mixture, and rushed towards the rock with a huge sword.

Her speed was far greater than Sun Yang's. She had covered several hundred meters in less than ten seconds. The hunter couldn't suppress his life force while fleeing, and he would undoubtedly be found by the undead, whose souls were extremely sensitive.

She didn't bother to climb over the rocks blocking her path, but instead grasped the hilt of the oversized sword behind her and swung it forward. A large expanse of pure white light instantly emanated from the blade, cleaving any rock it touched in two.

"White King's Great Sword?" Sun Yang immediately recognized the cool laser-pointer-like special effects. This was one of the designated weapons for high-level games, with high damage and a cool look.

"I killed the White King before and took his soul. But the White King's soul is nothing special, so I gave it to the Birdman to figure out for herself."

As Strade explained, he cast an invisibility spell on himself. He wouldn't be like Master Sun Yang, who would take the initiative to eat a cannonball just to verify the combined strength of the protective spell and the undead.

"So how did Rukatiye get this weapon?" Sun Yang also climbed up. He cast a large magic shield to allow Strider to also benefit from the buff.

"Thank you. Rukatiye said he wanted a weapon that could be better adapted to high-intensity combat, so the birdman used this soul to forge a super-large sword of the White King, and Rukatiye used his share of the wedge stone to strengthen it to the top level." Strade explained.

"I see... After this is done, you can go out and play without worry. Oh, and touch the spiral sword. Don't die out there." Sun Yang stuck the spiral sword into the ground. Strider touched it, and after a burst of fire, he reset his respawn point to the spiral sword.

"Having said that, I have to admit that this world makes me feel quite depressed... There's so much chaos everywhere. This uncertainty is part of the journey. I'm going to Master Sun Yang, please be safe. Don't get yourself killed again."

After saying this, Strade ran towards the EMP generator. Sun Yang could only feel Strade's soul leaving and see the grass being pulled aside.

What the hell is this woman?

Although the hunter never stopped moving, he couldn't shake off the woman carrying a large sword behind him. Where did she come from? Could this psionic master also summon friendly forces?

The hunter turned back and shot the pursuing enemy with his sniper rifle. But... this woman was different from the psychic master!

It used its dwindling psychic energy to attach itself to its last few bullets. The hunter extended its grappling hook and flew up a tree, turning back to aim at Rukatiye.

Bang! A gunshot rang out, but Rukatiye jerked her head with a speed no human could possibly achieve. The bullet shattered the side of her helmet, but the head inside the helmet was unharmed. Rukatiye's golden ponytail fluttered in the air.

Bang! Bang! The hunter deliberately delayed, sensing the opponent's quick movements and reactions. All he had to do was wait for the opponent to dodge... before firing.

The two bullets hit Rukatiye's forehead accurately, but the bullets only penetrated the tattered helmet - the two bullet heads were embedded in Rukatiye's skull.

As a diligently trained undead with a focus on melee combat, Rukatiye's body is incredibly tough. Sun Yang's strength, which requires buffs, is about the same as Rukatiye's without them.

In addition, Rukatiye herself also has a Ring of Iron Blessing and has benefited from Sun Yang's Oath of Stone buff. Her defense is fully capable of withstanding psychic sniper bullets.

What the hell is this thing? Its reflexes are so fast, and its body is even tougher than that psychic master's! The hunters are beating it hard, and its psychic energy reserves are almost gone.

"Gah-ah-ah-ah!" Rukatiye let out a battle cry and swung the White King's greatsword forward, releasing pale magic power, slicing through everything in front of him. Even the trees the hunter had scrambled towards were neatly cut through.

The hunter, quite desperate, fired several shots at the woman in front of him with his spare pistol, but couldn't even penetrate her skin. It was truly thicker than a concrete wall.

"Congratulations, you have won a victory. I look forward to our next fight." The hunter said with a grin.

It's over. The hunter felt the psionic energy within him, and the few remaining bullets. There was no way he could win this fight... What kind of monster had they summoned, XCOM?

However, with so much intelligence gathered, it should be enough to deal with those elders. The hunter thought of this and gave up the idea of ​​continuing the fight.

"Die!" Rukatiye had no habit of talking nonsense and attacked the hunter without mercy. In the dim light, the hunter pressed the emergency teleport button.

"Whoosh!" A flash of purple light, characteristic of psychic energy, passed by, and the hunter was transported back to his Chosen One's Fortress for rest and treatment. Meanwhile, Rukatiye split the tree in front of him vertically in two.

"Escaped?" Rukatiye closed his eyes to increase his awareness of the spirit... There was nothing around. The strange creature with the sniper rifle retreated quickly, without hesitation.

There was no other way. It was quite annoying to deal with such an enemy. Rukatiye didn't stay at the scene. She ran straight to support Sun Yang.

There is no need for Strider. He will run away if he can't beat me. If he dies suddenly, I can just make a portrait of himself.

Because it's time to fight the alien army. Add a popular science about the alien army.

Generally speaking, aliens are species and units that are not transformed from Earthlings but are instead from extraterrestrials. Aliens are also divided into psionic and non-psionic units, with psionic units specifically mentioned in the introduction.

Not all aliens obey the Void Elders through mind control or the like. They are a puppet race controlled by the Elders. They fight according to the Elders' orders, but in fact they have their own will.

Some aliens have been modified and mixed with human DNA, but they are not modified by humans, so they are still considered aliens.

Serpents. Serpentine creatures armed with alien plasma weapons. Slightly stronger than humans.

The Viper is a swift and deadly alien unit, well-suited for guerrilla and mobile warfare. It first uses its venomous tongue to drag its enemies out of cover, then proceeds to bind and crush them, crippling them. The Viper possesses high attack damage and a wide variety of skills, along with a high dodge rating, resulting in a high grazed chance in combat.

According to Battlefield Medicine and Dark Events (Viper Bullet), the venom of the Viper monster is a mixture of neurotoxin, cobra venom, and anti-venom serum, which was later used to develop the Nano First Aid Kit.

Mutants. Humanoid units armed with alien plasma weaponry. These enemies possess agility and immense strength. They possess considerable combat experience and utilize protective suits crafted from alien alloys. Mutants are the aliens' primary infantry unit.

The current species is clearly smaller, but far more agile than the original. This species bears the marks of extensive genetic modification, along with additional muscle tissue and bone to protect its internal organs. The aliens must have invested considerable time and effort in developing these mutants into frontline combatants.

The Mutant is a versatile alien unit that excels at various ranged combat situations. It has high health and is equipped with plasma grenades. The Mutant is powerful and has balanced attributes.

The Mutants in this game are smaller than their original counterparts, likely due to genetic modification. They wear combat armor, their skin is tattooed with totems, and their scars are meaningful. The Mutants maintain a distinct tribal hierarchy.

Berserker. An unarmored melee unit.

The "Berserkers" are named after the human resistance soldiers, due to their extreme aggressiveness on the battlefield. While they lack ranged attacks, they are still terrifying beasts capable of dealing massive melee damage. These abnormal creatures have clearly undergone some extreme muscle growth, but how they survive in this form remains to be thoroughly examined.

The Berserker's stature in this game has been significantly increased, with prominent and abnormal muscle growth. Unarmored and disproportionately sprinting for their size, the Berserker is capable of rapid melee attacks. Dr. Teigen's "defects" are the direct result of intentional protein defects created by the aliens, who manipulate endocrine glands and hormonal behavior to control their abilities. Even after death, the Berserker's physical energy continues to produce chemicals that act as stimulants and analgesics.

Berserkers are also unarmed and attack the enemy with their bare hands. Their iron fists can stun or confuse the attacked. In addition, Berserkers have melee resistance, reducing the amount of melee attacks they take.

Archon. A hybrid of mechanical and biological, armed with a plasma spear for close range and shooting attacks. It also has energy missiles on its back that can be released while airborne.

Andromeda aliens. Equipped with plasma cannons and boasting extremely durable armor and glass shells, they are one of the aliens' primary combat units, serving as assault tanks.

The Andromedans are a small, fragile alien species that fight in powerful mecha suits. Their mechas are highly survivable and can drop acid bombs, dealing continuous damage to enemies. Their suits can also survive the death of their pilots, continuing to serve as powerful melee units.

Psionic Units:

Units that can use psionic powers. Psionic powers can do a lot of things and are extremely deadly to most units. Currently, no armor can effectively protect against psionic powers, so psionic damage must be absorbed physically. Psionic powers are extremely deadly to weapons and machinery.

Gray man.

In this game, the Grays have been strengthened by combining human DNA, but they are still relatively weak. The Grays are almost naked, without any armor, and have a bracelet-like device on their wrists that can emit plasma for long-range attacks. Dead Grays will curl up like spiders.

Psionic Ability: Mind Warp: Unleashes a debilitating psionic attack on the target, causing various negative effects, including mind control, panic, and confusion.
