There are 10 Death squad soldiers left in front of Alex. it seems he's unstoppable. his movement is flowing. Alex seems to move slowly, but strike with explosive speed. Alex movement combines a circle and straight line walking. sometimes he spins inward, some other time he spins outward, sometimes he pulls, next, he pushes. There are definitely some similarities with the BaguaZhang technique. but it is much more complex than that.
Lieutenant Rangga studied BaguaZhang, there are a few schools that modify it before, But he can't figure out the origin of these steps.. he thinks these steps are much more profound.
This is a technique that Alex received in the Doomsday Pillar, The Hexagram steps. It's a medium grade movement technique, Alex has been studying it for more than 7 years. This is one of the reason Alex been able to survive many battles in his previous life.
When Alex reincarnated, the inheritance itself also vanished, and without the real inheritance this art techniques is like an empty gun, but the movement steps itself still engraved in Alex memory, currently Alex cant perform the real form of Hexagram steps. But, as this is a medium grade technique, even only with its movement principle, it can already be considered a heavenly skill for a mortal realm human.
When Alex received the inheritance of the hexagram steps, Alex learns about the technique's origin. The hexagram already written in the oldest Chinese classic backdated more than 4000 years ago. It was said to be created by Fuxi, one of the Three Sovereigns at the beginning of the Chinese dynastic period. Fuxi had the arrangement of the formation revealed to him in the markings on the back of a mythical tortoise that emerged from the Luo River.
The hexagram formation is a six set of 64 symbols, a total of 384 variations. While the 8 trigram was only on the first 64 sets. It took Alex 7 years to master the first and second set, hence the similarities with the Baguazhang. Perhaps the founder of Baguazhang on the 19th century did manage to learn the secret of the first set by studying the Fuxi hexagram, as for the real connection between Fuxi hexagram and the Doomsday Pillar, it is as much mystery as the secret relics that left unanswered all around the world. The answer should be within the Doomsday pillars.

The Designated: Out of Control
It happened quicker than anyone would have imagined. Multiple hurricanes were one thing. People had dealt with that in the past. But, like kids playing dominoes, one thing crashed into another. Areas affected by hurricanes needed resources all along the Gulf and East Coasts drew rescuers and resources away from other parts of the country. When wildfires lit up the Pacific coast and mid-west, those areas were already understaffed. Driven by hurricanes in the Pacific basin, uncontrolled wildfires burned through towns, destroying everything in their paths. Across the Pacific, Asia didn't escape. From the Philippines, across China, into Indochina, and Bangladesh and India. Typhoons and cyclones pounded the coasts and far inland. Widespread flooding forced millions from their homes and across international borders. Mexico was hit hard and thousands died in mudslides as Katia slammed into their East Coast. The refugees fled north and west. Rumours started that hundreds of thousands were headed for the US border. Instead of running out of steam in the southern US, several hurricanes tore up the eastern seaboard, devastating cities and renewing their strength before veering east across the Atlantic. Maria and Ophelia veered east and slammed into Europe, reaching as far as the Netherlands and Russia before finally dissipating. After that, too many weather stations were offline to provide any form of co-ordinated information or warnings. Wildfires in Portugal burned ahead of the storms, fanned by hurricane winds. They sparked wildfires leapfrogging across Europe, beyond any one country's ability to cope. Already uneasy from multiple terrorist attacks over the summer, anti-refugee groups seized the opportunity to stage protests across Europe. Some turned violent as they clashed with police forces. Several governments declared martial law to quell the rioting and enforce evacuations along the path of the storms. Rumour and speculation overwhelmed facts. Unrest spilled over into widespread violence. Then sickness broke out in the displaced populations. Within a matter of a dozen weeks, tens of millions died. In the coming winter months hundreds more would follow. The Designated Project was activated.
