Bali really is the best holiday destination. The beaches, the food, the resort style hotel..In one part of a 5 star hotel, in the swimming area, Alex just finish playing with both his daughters and wife. Its hard to achieved both "savior of the world" t.i.tle and "the world greatest dad" t.i.ttle. Anyway the end of days are coming, later on he will only have lesser time for his family.
His wife Devita, notice something looking at his husband and said
"When did you start working out? since when you have a six packed abs muscles."
since the transformation to peak mortal realm his body changed, it become much more muscular.
"Its already been a while, don"t you like it?" maybe you want to feel it for a while?"
Its been more than a week since his reincarnation, he already start to adapt to his current situation, these days he already able to start teasing his wife.
After swimming Alex took the hotel office room and spend time on research with the computer. he tried to familiarized himself to the current world, and relate it to the events in his past life. Especially important while the internet is still working.
He studied the Bali local information, the Indonesian government and military situation, the world organisation. It"s been a while since he type a keyboard and holding the Mouse, looking at his bronze color ring on his finger.. Suddenly he thought of something. there are at least 1000 relics spread out around the world. Although he knew how hard it is to access all the temples when its not activated, throughout history there should probably a few relic that accidentally been found. Alex then start searching auction sites and museums.
He found this sword that actually famous in China, a thousand years old sword that never been rusted and still sharp. he recognized it as one of the low level artifact, it could be useful to him, but considering the travel time, and the fact its the country national treasure, its probably not a good idea, its a low level artifact anyway. He keep searching hoping to get lucky..
"hoping to find another medium grade artifact"
"it wont be too much to ask for just one high grade weapon right?"
.
.
"OK just another ring will do"
.
.
"even just an empty one"
.
.
Alex didn"t find anything he recognize..
.
.
maybe a bad karma for being too greedy and ungrateful
.
.
He gave up his search and start reading some news. Then he read about how Indonesian force just capture two terrorist cell in central java.
"Only two bases..? General Rico probably still very suspicious with my Intel." its too slow.. when the doomsday come, this terrorist will start ama.s.sing survivor with the cover of religion and made the situation worst all around Indonesia.
"maybe i should just give the general a hand"
At noon, Alex get a visitor. its Nina, she came to give report on the development progress. currently the two bases are progressing fast. There are already 2000 worker start working in the main base. Heavy equipment and some construction material already delivered. Rina already start profiling the next batch of 2000 worker. The villa currently already finish its parameters fence, the tents already up. it has become a command center. Currently Eka was in the progress of managing the mechanics and electrician. The plan is to modified all electric equipment like solar panels, water filters to resist Electromagnetic pulse, an EMP surge. They need to do some modification and currently doing some test.
Next, Nina report to Alex about the purchase of unique vehicles and boats. The vehicles and boats that Alex require are the one build before year 2002. The vehicles that built before this year are still using minimum or none electrical equipment. with enough modification this vehicles will be useful mode of transportation for survivors.
For the boats, Alex only purchase the one using steel hull, as the fiber one will not be enough to sustain attack from the mutated beast. Currently Nina already bought 50 vehicles. 30 transport truck and 20 jeep type. For the boats Nina bought 2 large steel transporter s.h.i.+ps. 90 meter length 20 meter wide. with cargo decks of maximum 3000 meter cubic tons. Nina also bought 4 smaller steel hull speed boat.
The transport s.h.i.+ps and boat will be docked in the Bay city port, It will take a few days to reach there. And as for the vehicles it will be separated in the two bases. Alex also asked Nina to recruit more mechanic and steel worker to modified the boats and vehicles.
At the end Nina gave Alex the total spending cost. Both land purchase cost $15 million, the construction and worker salary $5 million, the food supplies.$5 million. other supplies $10 million. the vehicles and boats cost $7 million. All total spending at the moment are $42 million. With the $5 million money he receive from selling his other a.s.sets added, he"s left with only $13 million. Alex told Nina to buy extra food for $5 million, another $3 million to buy 50 more vehicles and another $2 million for emergency spending. Alex now left with only $3 million.
"I just spend $50 million in one week" .... sigh..
There are still many things i need, the s.h.i.+ps are still not enough. I still need a way to get weapons and i also need lots of ammo. it seems i really need to be more creative.
Nina then give Alex a note prepared by Rendy the Bay city Mayor, he already finish investigate half of the name from the list Alex gave. In the note there are 20 plus name, there are information of last known address and last places seen. With this information Alex plan to start invite them to the base, some can be offered a job, but most will need more personal touch. There is one name in particular that Alex interested to approach right now.
The name is Jerry, a person he knew from the past life and a future Evolve. Alex know him pretty well, he"s a trustworthy person, the place Jerry last seen should be the place he stay, its a simple hotel in one of the small part of the beach in Bali, its also function as a smugglers front. This could turn into an opportunity to solve some of his other problem.
In the future Alex really need to turn the whole Bali island as his base, there are some organisation he need to work with and some that he need to eradicate.
The terrorist cell for now he will leave it the General Rico, as for the smuggler he will take care of it himself.. Finally some action to test his new strength.
