Chapter 909: Demonstrating Zerg Moves

Wang Zheng smiled slightly. “I will not.”

Angela nodded. “I should have seen it coming. Although I’m not too fond of you, I still respect your ability. I’m curious as to where you will end up as well.”

“I’ll take each step as it comes.” Wang Zheng continued training, and Angela did not disturb him further. She shook her head and left.

She did not like Wang Zheng, because he complicated her work terribly. But personally, she admired him. He was self-confident without being conceited, determined but not stubborn, and not someone who would turn to rage in despair. He was not bad company for the princess, as things went.

In this three day trip, Lin Huiyin started to play with more abandon, and Wang Zheng tried his best to suit her. Huiyin learnt training from Wang Zheng, and Wang Zheng was also forced to sing. Compared to Huiyin, his voice was out of tune, but edged hers in emotional expressivity.

The spaceship returned to Roland Garros at the fastest speed, and Wang Zheng could not repress a sigh. This was unbelievable, something that only the Aslan royalty could accomplish. The might of the Aslan Empire was definitely not merely what was denoted on paper. Perhaps other nations were developing at a rapid rate, but concretely they could not hope to compare.

After returning to college, Aina had not said much about that matter to Wang Zheng. This was Aina’s personality. She would not pursue such matters, but this did leave Wang Zheng a little wistful. When he returned, he immediately threw himself into training against the tentacled Zerg.

What was fortunate was that Lie Xin had accepted his invitation, but Lie Xin had clearly stated that cooperation would be limited to the business of the tentacled Zerg. Wang Zheng honestly had no idea why Lie Xin was behaving this way, but to each their choices. Perhaps Lear’s approach was a better fit for her. But they really needed her abilities on this matter.

Lie Xin, Achilles, Zhang Shan, Vincent, Takumi, Snow Li.

Against such monsters, it was not simply a matter of “the more the merrier”. If one could not keep up with the Battle Team pace, they would not only be ineffective, but also become an impediment.

Wang Zheng displayed what he had prepared on the Skylink. “The tentacled monsters’ movements revolve around straight lines. If they are forced to arc, they have to reduce their speed drastically. The other main movement they use is in an intersecting rhombus.”

“Intersecting rhombus?” Zhang Shan asked.

“That’s right. About 13 different hybrids. Basically they do not deviate from these variations. Besides this, the tentacles attack with a lot of angle control, but this has its limits. Out of the 8 tentacles, when more than half attack at the same time, the response time decreases by a certain degree. Two vital parts. One is the laser eyes, the other is the belly. The laser eyes are also its main attack point, and difficult to penetrate. My plan is for five people to break the defenses. One main, Snow Li. You made your name as a sniper after all. Don’t worry about what happens before. You just concern yourself with the crucial blow.”

Snow Li nodded. Takumi chuckled. “Wang Zheng, seems like you already have some thoughts on the issue. Let’s get to it then. The school has been taking this very seriously, but no one has done it up till now.”

Of course, this included Imperial Glory, Asura, Dynasty, and other big names. And it had been proven that numbers meant nothing.

“This isn’t enough. I need everyone to be able to keep up with my movements. A simultaneous attack must outpace the Zerg’ limits. Only then can Lie Xin deliver the crucial attack.” Wang Zheng said. “Takumi, your tank is reliable enough to take hits from me. At the same time, you need to watch out for yourself. Vincent, your Gold Wheel mecha must achieve dual wielding. Fake dual wielding just won’t cut it.”

Takumi was taken aback, but nodded. His mouth twitched with interest. Vincent was surprised too. He understood what true dual wielding entailed. This was something that others did not realize, but Vincent’s Gold Wheel mecha indeed lacked a little firepower.

“Zhang Shan, you must be capable of executing three consecutive warps, and quicker. In one burst, you need to create a disruption for the Zerg’s movements. Snow Li, you need to extend the time of your Frost ability. The moment you gather your ability X, the Zerg will immediately sense it. We won’t be able to get results that way. That’s why you need to be able to gather and release it in an instant.” Wang Zheng said. “The core of this battle plan is that we cannot give the Zerg any window for escape. Once it escapes, the plan will crumble.”

“Do Zerg run away?” Zhang Shan asked. The buggers charged and killed blindly. Did the word “escape” even apply?

“All sentient creatures will. This is very clear for the abyss Zerg. Of course, even abyss Zerg have their limits. When they act individually, they have such self-protection instincts. Of course, when the overmind is present, such instincts do not appear.” Wang Zheng said. His understanding of the Zerg was only a little less thorough than Butcher and the rest.

Wang Zheng’s own comprehensive understanding of the Zerg had also developed through his exchanges with Butcher, including the language and movements of the Zerg.

“What about me and Lie Xin?” Achilles asked.

Wang Zheng smiled. Both of their physical skills were mature, and they had their own styles and physical abilities. He need not say much. “Take on the Zerg solo. Best if you can hold for more than three minutes.”

Achilles and Lie Xin looked at each other. “Wang Zheng, you punk. You wouldn’t be trying to do us in, would you?”

Lie Xin said with a hint of provocation. Such a battle would be a retreating defense. Being finished off by the Zerg was not a nice feeling.

Wang Zheng laughed. “Come on, would I? If you can’t even hold them off for three minutes, then we can’t even proceed.”

“Can you?” Lie Xin asked.

Wang Zheng nodded. “Time is not an issue, although I can’t finish them off by myself.”

“I don’t believe you. Show us. If you can hold on for more than five minutes, then three will be no problem for me.”

Lie Xin said. Wang Zheng was a monster. Until now, she had no idea where he had come from. Perhaps the Sage knew something, even if he was secretive about it. But as far as the Lie family knew, he had come from a common background. The only gap in this was the missing parents, who had disappeared without a trace.

Wang Zheng did not hesitate. “Sure. It will be a good opportunity for everyone to see the Zerg’ movement trajectories and habits. Its movements are not centered around the tentacles, but an expression change.”

Tentacles were soft weapons, close to a whip. Those who played with such weapons knew that the key was in the hand movements. Those who watched the whip itself were sure to be flayed to death.

They did not waste more time with words. The purpose of today’s meeting was to get the procedure down. The 4 Regions had declared a prize. Whichever student could finish first would gain additional points. And if a Battle Team completed it, the school would also provide favorable conditions for the Battle Team, such as a better venue, more time and training privileges. This was exactly what every Battle Team needed.

Wang Zheng and Saruman Snake Battle Team did not think too much about it. Wang Zheng was going to give a demonstration, and Ai Xiaolu and the rest tagged along as well. Saruman Snake’s resources mostly came from Ai Xiaolu. But after all, this was a Battle Team, and they could not let Ai Xiaolu be the sole investor. They had to stick to some rules. Wang Zheng wanted to use this battle to spread Saruman Snake’s reputation as more than just a lucky dark horse. At the same time, he hoped to get even more support from the school. Compared to Battle Teams like Asura and Imperial Glory, Saruman Snake Battle Team’s conditions were considerably worse off. If they could not secure better conditions, then the talent would not be willing to join.

Wang Zheng had already entered the arena to face the tentacle monster. Luckily, he had Yan Xiaosu’s wedding as a welcome break. When he closed his eyes, he no longer saw tentacles. He no longer ate octopus now either. It was too sensitive.

He was sanguine about the choice of mecha. He was familiar with the Zerg now. Different mechas simply meant different fighting styles. But if he wanted to demonstrate the Zerg’ unique features to the fullest, then the Phantom King and Wind God were more suitable choices.

In this battle, the objective was not to go head to head with the Zerg, and mentally Wang Zheng was more relaxed. He chose Wind God.

“Saruman Snake’s Wang Zheng is going to solo a tentacle monster?”

“Seems that way. Just him alone.”

“That guy likes to show off. It’s impossible. Even Marzu couldn’t do it. The closest bet would be Asura Battle Team, but they can’t handle it either.”

“It’s hopeless. The worm is too agile. It’s specialized to break down all defenses. Sometimes Battle Teammates even become burdens.”

“Well, let’s see how long this legendary leader can hold out for.”

“Who knows, he might even win.”

“If he can win solo, I’ll call him Father from now on. Don’t even mention winning. If he can last for more than five minutes, I’ll call him Father. Saruman Snake Battle Team’s go-hard tactics don’t have the necessary qualities. And abyss Zerg don’t make mistakes.”

Battle power depended on physical and mental condition to a large extent, but the Zerg were always consistent. They were neither susceptible to vanity nor carelessness.

The ferocious attack power that this abyss Zerg displayed in fights gave one the chills. The image of tentacles boring into a mecha left a deep impression on the imagination. Even a simulated battle was enough to give one nightmares.
