Doomsday Pillars

Chapter 107

One month after the Doomsday, the streets of Surabaya city has turned into ruins. Burnt cars, buildings, broken gla.s.ses, rubbles, and corpses surrounded the once beautiful and lively city.

From the north side of the city, Five SUV cars and an RV was seen driving by pa.s.sing in high speed.

BAMMM!!!

"Sorry about that... can"t really dodge all of those zombies..."

"Another one incoming!!"

BAMMM!!!

Theo is currently inside of the first car with Zee and two more of James" bodyguards. As he can read minds, he can tell that this foreigner hits the zombies on purpose just for fun. It"s not that Theo cannot take the joke, but they are currently in the heart of zombie hordes, so he is not in the mood.

"Don"t worry man. We were here three days ago and there were at least five times of these zombies on the streets, we were unable to drive past them at all. Whatever the other group is doing on the outskirts of the city, it is definitely working. I am really optimistic about this mission."

The convoys kept on driving, the deeper into the city they went, the more crowded the zombies were. Some of the buildings they pa.s.sed like the hospital, the police station or the mall had lots of barbwires setup around as a defensive structure. Theo can tell that a huge battle had taken place on this site a few weeks ago, but seeing the empty city, everyone can tell what the final result was.

After half an hour drive, the group finally reached a roadblock.

"This is as far as we can go with the cars, the main road in front is blocked. There are too many abandoned cars."

The group parks the vehicles in the bas.e.m.e.nts of small office buildings. The Gold team and the Yellow team quickly jumped out of the cars and secured the bas.e.m.e.nt. This will become their fallback position. The group went up to the building"s second floor to check the surroundings. Alex, James, Winter, and Aria met to discuss tactics.

James briefed them about the location, the office"s condition and described the items they need to acquire.

A minute later, Flea and the twins return after scouting the area.

"Do you want the good news first or the bad news?"

"Good news first."

"I charted out the quickest path from here to the designated building. It"s about 500 meters away, and I saw only around 200 zombies roaming the area. Including the ones inside the building, there are probably twice the number."

"200 seems easy enough, I think considering our position right now. What is the bad news?"

"From the 200 almost all of them are mutated zombies."

"..."

James stared at Alex and said,

"Is that normal?"

Alex gave it some thought. But he really doesn"t have the answer. In his previous life, he spent the first few months of the Doomsday in the Bali mountain. While Alex was still thinking...


"Don"t worry Mr. James, I believe we can handle this 200 red zombies."

"Yes, you can count on us LT."

Winter is still staring at Alex and then continues,

"I think you can just leave the mission to us. Your team can stay here to protect Mr. James."

Hearing this, the twins suddenly felt offended.

"Are you looking down on our team? You big piece of Shhii..."

"I am sorry if I offended you, but I honestly think that this is the best strategy for our current situation."

"What the Fx.x.xx!"

Oliver also gets outraged.

"Stop it you two!!!"

Alex glares at them both and suddenly they turn quiet…

"I am sorry, these two are still young, please don"t mind their childish words. But I believe the mission will go faster if we all go together. The faster we finish the mission, the faster also the army can retreat, what do you say?"

"Ok… Please stay close to us then..."

"..."

Alex thought that this guy named Winter apparently doesn"t realize that he really does look down on Alex"s team. Probably it"s a good idea to know each other better.

"I suggest in the spirit of teamwork, let"s have a little compet.i.tion. We can fight side by side and see how many each team can manage to kill the red ones. What do you think?"

"I am sorry Mr. Alex, but playing a game during a mission is very dangerous."

Alex has mixed feeling about this Winter, both annoyance and respect for the guy. Alex gives a quick look at James as he knows that he is good at reading people. James quickly understood and supported the idea. A moment later, the mission turns into a little compet.i.tion.

Both teams grab their weapon of choice then quickly advances. Although there were only 200 of them in sight, the teams still needed to silently kill all of these undeads or else within ten minutes, ten times more will join the fight. Alex"s team members were already skilled in using melee weapons; Alex with the katanas, Aria with the knives, Cindy with the whips, Theo with the pickax and the twins with their double sabers.

Alex"s group advances to the right side of the streets, meanwhile, James team presses onwards to the other side. Fighting hundreds of red zombies are not to be trifled with. These abominations have the same strength as High Stage Mortal Realm, fighting them using only melee weapons are quite tricky, but Alex"s current team have been fighting together for a while now. Cindy"s whip is very useful in deflecting the undead"s attacks, while Alex, Theo, and the twins jump in for the ma.s.sacres, while Aria"s throwing knives would target those that are unreachable by close combat.

Pa! Slas.h.!.+ Stab!

5...10...15... 20...

Their teamwork is fantastic, all of them are in the Peak Stage Mortal Realm. Dozens of red mutated zombies were killed beautifully. A moment later, Alex realizes that the opposing party on the other side of the street is actually not slower than they are... They are actually even faster!

They were three teams composed of five men each. The Gold team being led by Zee, Blue Team being led by Slo and White team being led by Winter. These groups of men attached silencers into their handguns and a.s.sault rifles. These three groups move in formations and start shooting at the red zombies. With their Peak Stage Mortal Realm, they move really fast, added to that is their perception being heightened, they can shoot in high accuracy. Multiple headshots blew the undead"s heads.

Piu!! Piu!! Piu!! Piu!!

10... 20... 30... 40...

Not only they have a bigger group, using firearms would definitely make it easier in killing these red zombies more so than melee. These ex-navy seals were backed by one of the richest men, they were well equipped. The navy seals were trained to kill their enemies efficiently and the most efficient way to kill other than a gun is a concealed weapon. Therefore, their main melee is combat knives. As for martial arts, they practice Brazilian jiu-jitsu, followed by western boxing.

At the end of the street, in front of the Randall Building, the two groups meet and the result is that James team killed almost twice of the undead compared to Alex"s team. Although Alex lost, he didn"t feel ashamed or mad at all. Rather, he found more respect towards Winter"s men. The twins, on the other hand, felt unsettled.

Winter approached Alex and said,

"We only won because of guns, on the other hand, your teamwork and martial arts are amazing."

It"s quite hard to be angry to a man such as he. This Winter not only had the strength, but he also had leaders.h.i.+p capabilities. Alex looks forward to more of his contributions in the future war.

The team separated as planned, the Gold team with Zee will set up a perimeter outside and will stand guard for any sights of trouble. Flea, the sniper, jumps up on top of the nearest building as eyes. Winter"s White team and the Gold team would go to the workshop to grab the laser weapons. While Alex"s team and James will go to his offices to find the blueprints.

There are a dozen more of these red zombies inside the compound. Winter and his 10 men quickly rush into the workshop which is located in the bas.e.m.e.nt. It was a big complex, the two teams have decided to separate in order to save time.

Slo with his Blue team heads toward into one of the corridors then proceeds into the storage room.

"Did you see the twin"s faces when we had defeated them?"

"Haha! They are 10 years too young to compete with us."

"Quiet Mike! Concentrate! There could be more of those mutated ones inside this room."

"If it is more of that red one, then we have nothing to worry about. I wish there is another one stronger than the red zombies. A higher grade one perhaps. Something more challenging"

The group went inside the room and they were suddenly shocked by the horrifying scene taking place in front of them.

"!!!"
