Dday +86
Before the sun rose above the sky of Bali, 70,000-star troops holding weapons of war were already ready to charge. They were determined to free the island of Bali from the threat of the zombies.
In the front line, platoon 077 battalions 8, Dylan, Cynthia and Chris were standing next to each other while holding the weapon of their choice. Earlier in the briefing with Commander Milo, it's decided that today will be carried out with a full attack and it will be the deciding day.
The sun struck like an arrow as beads of sweat ran down on Cynthia's forehead. The 16-year-old girl stared deep into the direction of the zombie. Every time before the fighting started, she touched the red cloth wrapped around in her arm.
"Barry… Today is the last day. Please watch over us."
The battle against the undead was once again about to start as hundreds of thousands of zombies slowly approached toward the first defensive line.. The hordes of zombies seemed endless since there were at least a million more zombies remaining in the central area of the island of Bali.
A few moments later, fireworks shot to the sky..
Tesssssss TAR!!
The elite troops were supposed to charge at the signal but this time everyone stood their ground and waited. A moment later, booming noises resounded around the island of Bali.
DUUMMM!!! DUUMMM!!! DUUMMM!!!
The sound came from behind the star troops followed by a row of successive explosions right at the center of the zombie hordes in front of them.
KABOOMM!! KABOOMM!! KABOOMM!!
Not long after, a louder eruption came from the direction of the ocean.
DUUMMM!!! DUUMMM!!! DUUMMM!!!
The latter attacks came from the dozens of destroyer warships and midway carriers. The long shell cannon from this mighty ship spewed highly explosive cannon bullets.
KABOOMM!! KABOOMM!! KABOOMM!!
Artillery mortar fired from behind troops and cannon fired from warships at sea made the area of Kuta Bali filled with a sea of fire.
These bombardments are the second phase attack.
.
When Arief and the others had arrived at Alex's residence at dawn, they reported something surprising. After they had managed to infiltrate the hordes of zombies and arrived at the location where the bright light appeared, they found a dozen of black zombies and one white zombie dead corpse. But strangely none of these corpses show any visible signs of injuries on their bodies.
As Alex listened to the report, he could only assume that these zombies were killed by the old man. Alex couldn't explain any of these with his understanding.
Arief and the others had collected a dozen yellow spirit stones and one red stone from the dead zombies. The red stone was a high-level spirit stone. But what caught Alex's attention was the strange artifact obtained from the corpse of the white zombie. It was a small statue as big as Alex's hand. It's a shiny black stone statue of a strange creature with short arms and a big belly. But it had cracks from top to bottom almost splitting it in two. Although the statue looked ordinary, Alex believed that this statue had a special connection with the terrible creatures. He would not dare leave this statue at the headquarters near his family, so he decided to keep it.
With the confirmation of the black zombies and their leader the white zombie dead, Alex was sure that purging the city of Bali would be much easier. Still, with everything that had happened, Alex didn't want to rest and underestimate today's attack. So he continued with the second phase of the attack to immediately rid Bali of all threats.
.
KABOOMM!! KABOOMM!! KABOOMM!!
The bombardments continued for almost 30 minutes before finally stopping. The 70,000 troops readied their weapons and slowly advanced in unison toward the hordes of zombies. The tanks and jeeps mounted with machine guns opened the way alongside the troops..
TRATATATATATATA!! TRATATATATATATA!!
The troops holding firearms formed a perimeter around the steel tanks and vehicles while the melee troops formed small units to protect firearm troops and entered the buildings one by one.
From the successive artillery attacks in a fairly narrow area, they estimated that at least a third of the zombies have fallen. The loud explosions and firearms made the stage one and two zombies, which were sensitive with sounds, became disorganized further as they followed their instincts.
Even though there were at least one million zombies left, without the black zombies leading them, their threat significantly decreased which directly affected the battle.
The road where the troops were treading used to be a tourist spot with a lot of shopping buildings. But now, this road to the Kuta beach has now been filled with 70,000 troops.
And finally, five hours later, just before the day ended, loud cheering resounded in the whole of Bali. The island had finally been purged of zombies.
Alex issued the order that the battle was over and 70,000 troops were finally able to rest after the three days battle. He then gave additional instructions for the hundreds of thousands of workers and 70,000 second division troops to maintain security, salvage and carry out the final cleanup.
Alex read the casualty report of the battle with a smile. Out of the 70,000 troops fighting a million zombies, there were hundreds injured and dozens seriously wounded but there were no casualties. It was great news. The hundreds of artillery shells used were not in vain.
In the evening, the leaders of the division, as well as elite troops totaling around 100 people, gathered at Star Army's Headquarters. Alex gathered these people so he could explain what happened last night, especially with dozens of people hearing about his secret of reincarnating. He couldn't keep this in the dark anymore.
"Reincarnator!" exclaimed Sergei, astonished.
Theo, Sergei, and several others found it hard to believe such a ridiculous story. They have heard his story about seeing the future but now he was telling them that he came from the future. Those two ideas were very different things.
The world was already in chaos, now adding a human coming from the future surely invited many questions. Admiral Gerard came up and asked, "Do you know how it works, Alex?"
Alex looked at the Admiral and thought for a while.
"honestly... I really don't."
Listening to this, Cindy, who was always the most fastidious, stepped up and presented a hypothesis.
"From the story of Alex and what some of us experienced last night, it seems like only our consciousness returns to the past, but our physical body doesn't. But the old man was able to kill the monster and gave objects to Alex. Hmm… This is really interesting."
Alex then continued to tell a summary of what had happened in his previous life and how humans had lost within a few years until finally exterminated in the tenth year.
This news made everyone in the room speechless. The skeptical billionaire James wouldn't believe it if he hadn't experienced it himself. He is still able to recall vividly how Winter sacrificed himself to keep him alive. In the end, James finds the news given by Alex as something positive.
James told the other his thought.
"Why are we worried here? We know that Alex has already experienced this and his knowledge will be helpful in the future. With Alex and the old man, we can avoid the same thing from happening again!.. Things will be different this time!"
For a moment their spirits were lifted again but Alex said,
"The truth is I don't know the old man. I must tell you all that he mentioned that he will not be able to help anymore. and He did say whatever we have prepared so far is far from enough."
Everyone in the room became silent once more until Admiral Gerard broke it by laughing.
"What do we need to worry about? What will happen, will happen. It is in our nature as a human being to resist. I have participated in several wars before and what we are facing now will unite humanity against those that threaten our existence. Also Alex, you have done great things here. this island is like heaven compared to the chaos in America. Also before the end of time came, the American government received intel that there were many suspicious movements in several countries in Europe, Russia, the Middle East and especially China."
"China?" Alex asked.
"Yes, did you know that China suddenly locked down all of its cities three days before the storm? At first, we thought the EMP was an attack from China."
Hearing this, Alex felt hope was still there. The action of these countries should be the result of his doomsday video and announcement. Alex hopes out there somewhere other people also prepare for the coming threat.
Tonight will also become the last night for him to see James and Admiral Gerard's entourage. They have prepared to leave first thing in the morning..
Alex turned to the calendar on the wall and said,
"Only two weeks left until the Pillars descend.."
