The battle in the South was on a much larger scale! The whole South section was divided into the North Denpasar city and the south, which is the Nusa Dua island. Both areas connected by a narrow s.p.a.ce. An aerial view would reveal that geographically, it was in a shape of an hourgla.s.s.
On the North outer of Denpasar city itself located 6 smaller cities. They were: Kerambitan, Tabanan, Mengwi, Abiensemal, Sukawati, and Gianyar. Between all of these 6 small cities, Denpasar, the Capital city, and Nusa Dua Island, totaled more than 3 million people.
10:00
When the zombies started to rise.. all chaos breaks loose... casualties count start to drastically incline. The spread out tactic was not effective anymore. Alex then ordered all men to slowly retreat to the outer city.
Alex quickly gathered all the leaders for a Tactical meeting. Lieutenant Aria, Captain Farell, Captain Adnan, Colonel Jaka, Major Sandi, Governer Agung, and Rama were present.
"It"s good to see that you are save, Governor!"
"Yes, yes, indeed..." still with traces of sweat on his forehead he responded.
As if on cue, "AARRRGGGHHHH one of that thing bit me.. am I going to infected too?"
"Don"t worry Colonel Jaka, it is not infectious, you"ll be fine."
Alex commences the meeting.
Alex reminded them about the strength of the zombies and the best, most effective ways to defeat them. He also explained to them about the red mutated zombies, who have greater speed and strength, and last but not least about the spirit stones.
"The tactic we have now is simply too slow. There are roughly a million zombies in the city.. it would take too much time. We need a more aggressive approach! The objective is to save as many people as possible with the least casualty, while preserving as much ammunition as possible."
As an intelligence officer, Captain Farell interjected with a brilliant strategy.
First, to create 6 posts on each smaller cities. These 6 posts will contain the zombie"s movement from Denpasar to many other areas north of it. These not only will become survivor posts for those who were injured but also pickup points to transfer all children and elders to the main base. The police and the army together numbered 1,800 people. The pencak silat society 1,000 men plus 5,000 volunteers. All together, 7,800 men will be divided to guard the 6 posts. Each with 1,600 men. This operation will be organized and led by Captain Farell with the a.s.sistance of Colonel Jaka.
Second, a main strategy called "The Bait". As the name suggests, the idea is to lure in as many zombies as possible to one place and bombarded them with heavy weaponry. The allocated point is Bali International Airport, which is located strategically on the narrow path between the Denpasar city and Nusa Dua island. The narrow path provides the ideal defensive stance. This location will not only draw in a flow of zombies from Denpasar, but also from the Nusa Dua island.
Eight APV were allocated for this strategy. Only APV would be robust enough to charge into millions of zombies. Without counting in the red mutated ones.
This will be a highly dangerous mission, therefore, joining will be voluntary. Among the 104 men selected, ranging from The Deathsquad, Army Redbarret, Police Densus88, and Red Belt and white shash top Pencak silat disciples, none of them refuse.
Finally, Aria with 30 Deathsquad, Captain Adnan and 20 of his Red Barret, Major Sandi and 20 of his Densus 88, Rama and 20 of pencak silat disciples, along with a few of the soldiers specialized in Operating the APV were gathered, armed, and ready.

Suddenly, from the corner of his eye, Alex caught a stare along with a big smile.. its Cindy.. It doesn"t take a genius to understand what crosses her mind..
"..."
"Nope!! you are definitely not coming"
12:00
Eight APVs power through the Denpasar city using eight separate routes, while making a very loud noise to attract the zombies.
"WE ARE FROM THE ARMY... WE ARE LEADING THE UNDEAD TO THE SOUTH... ALL SURVIVORS MUST IMMEDIATELY MOVE TO THE NEAREST SURVIVAL POST NORTH OF THE CITY... I REPEAT... WE ARE....."
DRRAATTATATATATAT...
.
It"s working! Along the way, the APV fired up the machine guns to make noises and thin them up. Bit by bit...
.
.
16:00
The APVs arrived at the destination... hundreds upon hundreds of thousands of zombies right behind them...
All 90 fighters jumped out and got into position. One squad start planting C4s all around the airport. While two other squads made their way into the terminals and cleaned up the zombies... but as Alex reluctantly antic.i.p.ated, they found hundred of survivors hiding on the second floor.
.

This could be tricky.
.
.
"ATTENTION TO ALL UNITS! ITS SEEMS THAT WE NEED TO HOLD UP FOR A FEW HOURS!"
.
"I have sent for urgent reinforcements.
Meanwhile, let"s give our guests here a proper welcome!"
.
"LIGHT THEM UP"
