A Failure's hopeful Journey

Chapter 265: Pathetic.

Gena was one of the overwatch sentries. While observing the movement of the zombies, she suddenly said, "Alert, everyone."

You Xi Wang and the rest were meditating not too far from her. He opened his eyes and said in a loud voice, "SQUAD ALERT"

The rest of the people stood up in attention. You Xi Wang had already explained the strategy for all the possible scenarios. Cultivators had a smart brain, but this guy was smarter plus he was blessed with a system. He had plans for almost everything the opposing side can think of, humanly or inhumanely. 

He walked forward to where the sentries were. He asked Gena, "What is it?"

Gena replied to him, "The zombies are not in stimulus now. They are moving slowly."

You Xi Wang concentrated his spirit energy in his eye lense. The surroundings became as bright as day. The whole squad was equipped with a multi-purpose contact lense. It could zoom in, provide night vision, thermal and infrared. All thanks to a set of arrays engraved on it. You Xi Wang came up with it. 

Running spirit energy inside your eyeball can do something but it was not very efficient. It needed a constant flow of spiritual energy through the eye. While the lenses had a spirit-gathering array on them. You just start it once and the lens will work and to turn it off, you just disrupt the spirit flow in the lense. 

Simple yet complicated. You Xi Wang gazed at the field in front of him. The system spoke up, [The dark energy is like a string to them. They are puppets.]

You Xi Wang asked, 'Cannot cut the string. Destroy the puppet.'

The system said, [Berserk will have loopholes.]

You Xi Wang replied, 'Phalanx. Also, the funnel opening helps us. They cannot use elements. They can rush at us. That is all. They have the physical strength and one brain. We have 40 brains and physical strength as well. Let's dance.'

The system said, [Sure thing, boss.]

You Xi Wang said to the squad, "We deal with them in a Phalanx. Switch every ten minutes."

"AYE" the squad replied and they quickly walked up to the front. They could see the opening with the holographic line on their left eye. The right eye had the contact lens while the left eye had a holographic projection. They wore the on-ear communicator on their left ear. They were totally sci-fi-ed by their captain.

Their gear was all customized as well. All battle suits were equipped with space arrays, and masks to isolate their communication within the squad. Fenny said, "I have notified the command center. Commander is on the way with Deputy Riaz."

You Xi Wang nodded and said from behind the front line, "I don't want to see you guys suffer but to do that. You must break these undead pieces of scums. DO YOU GET THAT?" he raised the voice by the end of it.

The squad replied, "Aye."

Klaus was leading the first line. He said in a loud voice, "WHO ARE WE?"

The squad replied, "THE WRATH SQUAD."

Zen Shoto was in the second line and he asked, "WHAT DO WE DO?"

The squad came back, "WE FIGHT."

Neo spoke, "FIGHT THEN. HAIL THE GOD OF WAR."

The squad replied, "HAIL THE GOD OF WAR."

Fenny asked You Xi Wang, "Why did you select the god of war?"

You Xi Wang chuckled and said, "Everyone has their own notion of right or wrong. The dark is need for the light to shine, and vice versa. To maintain this balance is why we fight. The two forces are at war ever since the world came into existence. That is why I chose it to be so."

Fenny nodded and turned her head to the front. She and the other snipers were carrying a grenade launcher and other AOE weapons. They did not need precision to fight against the mob of zombies. Just kill them all as they come. The front lines all had shields and phaser spears in their hands. 

The shields were as big as a human and they had a slot hole, from where a tube-like thing was poked out. This was a phaser spear. Fenny and Gena designed it based on a phasor rifle. You Xi Wang was the one who asked them for this. This spear was also a reason they could deal with the gamma spots. 

They would form a circle between the swarm and then the phasor beams will wreak havoc. Well, they all got into the formation, Klaus took a deep breath and said, "Hold till the target is five meters away and then release at will."

You Xi Wang took out his bow and concentrated his spirit energy on the bow and a long arrow formed on it. Yuki's voice sounded in his earpiece, "You can draw them over, Xi Wang."

You Xi Wang aimed the arrow at the field and stretched the bow in a full moon. Then with a  PENG, the arrow flew to the field and landed 5 meters away from the front line soldiers. The shiny holy spirit arrow was very attractive to the zombies, just like its fire was to the moths. Despite the control of the dark Law Wielder inside the ruins, the zombies still had the nature of a primitive dark creature. They rushed at the spirit arrow. 

...

Inside the ruin, the lady snorted, "Troublesome brats, humph let us see how long can you endure the mob."

...

The system outside spoke, [Oh battle of endurance so early? Pathetic.]

You Xi Wang asked, "What happened?"

[Law wielder cannot override the primitive nature of the element until they have a full understanding of it. That Arrow of yours just cut off the strings of the puppets. Now you just try to outlast the mobs.] said the system.

You Xi Wang raised his eyebrows and said, "So pathetic? I was scared all day long for this crap?"

The system replied, [Oi, oi, don't get cocky now. You still cannot look down on these bitches. Mosquitoes in a swarm are bitch as difficult to deal with. Focus now.] 

You Xi Wang just snorted at him.
