Doomsday Pillars

Chapter 63

Alex and the seven managers gathered for a meeting in the command center, the main agenda is the people distribution; place and jobs. As the fourth rule said, "Everyone must contribute". Every male and female, between age 16 to 60, unless, under a disability, each person needs to contribute to the community.

Other than the supervisor position which employs directly by each manager, there are two main roles within the community; The worker and the fighter.

In a time of peace, the ratio number between civilian and security personnel are normally around 500:1, but in Doomsday time, Alex proposes a ratio of 4:6, For every 10 people there will be 4 fighter and 6 workers.

Benny: "Mr. Alex, seeing the current situation, the whole Bali should be cleared from all zombie within a month or two. Shouldn"t we focus on rebuilding society with workers than creating more fighters?"

Alex gives the question some thought, probably some area who manage to handle the first disaster would think the same. "As I explain in the doomsday video, the threat will only increase, next we will not just be facing zombies, Monster will start showing up. These zombies are just the beginning, the tip of the iceberg..."

Alex has a flash memory of his past life, A group of elite sky realm warrior easily devour by a 10 meters tall monster, the death, and terror... he unconsciously s.h.i.+vers.

"Within months, the threat level will vastly increase. If we didn"t prepare we would be wiped out by these monsters"

"What is the timeframe?" Major Sandi asked

"Three months, after three months you will see more mutated zombies than normal zombies on the street. There will also be hordes of monsters even stronger than that red zombies after three months. Without the proper defense, none human will survive. Therefore before three months up, we need to gather everyone together, not just the one in Bali, but all the island in the east or further"

All managers startled hearing this, 4 days after the doomsday, seeing the progress, people start to feel safer, but this news makes them anxious again. Afterward, there was no longer an argument about the ratio in the meeting. Alex actually plan to slowly increase the fighters ratio in the future.

The first batch of fighters to be recruited will be 35.000 men. This is such a big number, these fighters will be a.s.signed to Major Sandi. Even though the major was a high ranking officer in the police department and trainer for the police special forces, he never trains these many men before. Colonel Jaka head of the police might be a better candidate, but he refuses because of age.

The Major was then teamed up with Mahaguru Indra of pencak silat society and the other masters. Together they will be in charge of selecting the men and trained them. Alex decided to minimize firearm training, as bullets are limited and in the future when the pillars came, there will be lots of close combat artifact and skill. So the men will be trained mostly in the art of close combat.


First is the pencak silat basic movement, offense, and defense techniques.

Second is the weapon combat; the art of the saber for a.s.sault, spear and s.h.i.+eld for defense. The group also still need to learn basic firearm techniques. The one who has proficiency in the firearm will be chosen to be in the firearm troops.

The third is the formation training. The basic is the five-men person formation and the big group formation for offense or defense.

Alex needs the first batch to be ready within two weeks. The public security division was not created to build an army, but just as a basic introduction. The advanced training will start within the military and through combat experience. The division also chooses some of the fighter to be the guards for the base.

All these new fighters will be moved and station in the city of Antiga, the city place between The Main Base and the Bay city. Tony recruits 5000 workers to revitalize the Antiga city, into a fighter base and turn the Bay city into a Naval base. 5.000 worker and 35.000 fighters, total 40.000 men will be moved outside the main base, with this, the overpopulation of the main base and living arrangement of the people are settled.

There are another 46.000 left in the Star Base. The base expected to receive ten thousands more survivors daily for the next few days. So it will soon be crowded again. Alex needs to quickly sort all these people. Exclude the children and elders, there are 28.000 workers to be a.s.signed for jobs.

Tony took another 10000 workers, mostly builder and steelworker. He would need to build the rest 200 warehouse within days, with some of the construction machinery destroy by the EMP, he would need more people to do manual labor. There are still many things to do outside the base, but this warehouse will be the main priority. He expected this 200 warehouse will be done in three to four weeks, therefore at the moment, he set up several big tents as temporary living arrangements for the refugees who couldn"t get a place yet.

Jane took 7000 workers to be farmers, As the number of survivor"s increases, the farm also needs to expand. It"s not hard to find 7000 experience farmers between these groups, as many Bali locals mostly are farmers. She also looking for a way to expand the farm to grow more than just potatoes. Milk and eggs would require chicken and cows, but for that, she needs to coordinate with the research division.

The medical and research division lead by Doctor Rachel recruits all survivor with any medical and scientific experience. she manages to gather 80 doctors and nurses, barely enough to run one medical center. She also needs to send a few teams to the survival post. Therefore she also recruits dozens of medical student to become a medical a.s.sistant. As for research scientist, she only needs a real expert, she only manages to find a few of them. They will research on the effect of the mutation on the animal, research on the body of a mutated zombie and also the ongoing research on the spirit stones.

Benny"s lead the administration division. His daily task includes profiling each survivor, brief, provide an identification card, provide room and the food vouchers. He also creates a help center as an information center. These days, the center was full of people searching for their missing relative and friend. The division seems to be doing an easy task but without computer and internet... The job is a hundred times harder. But Benny"s pa.s.sions is always with the people. Benny recruit 500 people to help him

Devita got the last 10.000 plus people into the Supply division. The division not only provides the supplies but also make sure the supplies got distributed properly. Therefore she creates a few subdivision. The Helpers, The Cooks, The Traders, and The Scavengers.

This division will run the storage, the kitchen the main dining and the market. Each person who already gets an identification will receive two food voucher each day. that"s mean roughly 100.000 mouths to feeds each day. With the current food supplies Alex prepared, it will last around 6 months. If more people came, it will not last long enough. Therefore not only the division needs to come up with a creative meal out of dry or canned foods, but they also need to find more supplies.

That"s what the scavengers teams for. These scavengers will be the hunter of equipment and supplies throughout the abandoned cities. During a hunt, they will be accompanied by fighters. These scavengers are given the job to find highly needed items: Foods, Medical supplies, ammunition, and gasoline.

4000 will be a.s.signed to the scavengers team. She also employs Barry the navy engineer as an a.s.sistant to gathers all survivors with a mechanical skill to fix and maintain all functional electrical equipment including the vehicles. With the electronic supplies that Alex already prepare before the EMP, Alex hopes to find more vehicles that work especially boats.

For the kitchen departement, Devita only needs 500 cooks and the rest will be a.s.signed as helpers. These helpers will help to distribute foods, cleanups and the other time will be to move supplies items. As for traders, currently will not be needed, All daily necessities like something to eat, to wear and to sleep already prepare for free by the base...but soon Alex plans to create a market and barter area but maybe in next few days.

The meetings are finally overs, the only one still confuse was the ex-governor Agung, he"s not sure what to do with his division, there are almost 10.000 children and elders in this base.
