《Doomsday Pillars》43. The Doomsday Secrets
Advertisement
Alex managed to get the audience attention. But this is not enough, he needs them to be prepared. There are 1008 Doomsday pillars and 7 billion people in the world. In his previous life, although the human race wipes out on the 10th year, he believes they have already lost since the very first year. The reincarnation really gives him an advantage. With all of his knowledge, if he planned it well he could be the leader of the human race. But that is not what he wants, what's the point of being the leader of a death race. These people need to work together, they need to look past their ethnic and national difference and together facing a common threat.
Alex continued speaking "I will share you the secret of the future, the professor's studies confirm part of its truth, but it will be up to you if you want to believe it or not. I m sure all of the people in this room are resourceful and will be smart enough to adapt with the situation"
"The first will be the global electromagnetic pulse, it will be the first disaster" I suggest to start collecting or modifying old non-electrical vehicles. You can forget about airplanes as there will still be an EMP residue in the sky. Using older modified planes might get you off the ground, but it will be a one-way trip, as the engine will stop working mid-air, it will be up to luck to survive the landing.
"The disease which comes second will be inevitable" There will be no cure for the death, just make peace with the death and burn all their bodies"
"The real threat will be the mutated undead and monsters, I will give you some ideas of their strength"
Alex called one person to the stage, its Jerry. He just arrived in Singapore today for this gathering. He demonstrates the power of high stage mortal realm by bending metal rods and fighting a few of the bodyguards prepare by the Randall's. Although the fight can be staged, Jerry's movement speed is not. The demonstration ended with Alex called few of the audience to hit Jerry with a metal rod and he somehow manages to resist it. The audience gasped about the strength of this man called Jerry. Jerry leaves the stage and Alex continue his speeches.

"That man is a person who ate six of this spirit stones"
"..."
The audience becomes frantic and their desires for the stone can be seen in their eyes...
.
"I receive a dozen of this stone from one of the relic sites",
Alex shows them his last dozen of spirit stones.
"I need to tell you that Jerry' strength is nothing compared to the mutated monsters that will come" The basic mutated monster will be faster and stronger than him.
"..."
"If you killed this mutated monster there are some possibilities that it will drop this stone, so now you can imagine how it will work. Hunt or be Hunted"
"The next important information will be that as we can get stronger, they are getting stronger too. We will start seeing more advance monster even one that as big as a mountain"
"Our survival will depend on the massive structure that will drop from the sky, its called the Doomsday pillars. It will drop simultaneously all over the world. The Doomsday pillars have a secret to increase the limit of human bodies. It also a place where you can receive artifact such as this golem here." I will add another very important information about the pillar: the greater the number and the strength of the survivor, the greater benefits the pillars would give".
"Through this event, we manage to get your identity, we have sent you information on some of the known pillars that will be drop near each of your home or bases"
The audience starts receiving the information. Alex silent for a while and slowly said.
"In 7 days, when the first sign of disaster shown, you will start to believe me. I suggest you can start making your preparation from now. Please use this information wisely. We, the humans need to work together. It will be hard for us to communicate, but the solution will be within the Doomsday pillar. If we have managed to clear the pillar first level. We can get communication access between the pillars. I guess that is all I can share with you for now. If you want to know more we will communicate again within the pillars.

All the demonstration and announcement took around one hour. This is the weirdest event ever, the audience starts to have mix feelings about this. some are cynical, other like the Randall although a nonbeliever would choose to be careful.
.
In the corner at one of the private balconies.
"So what do you think Strauss?"
the cardinal replied, "I'm not sure... this is quite disturbing... the fact you came here mean you believe this to be true"
"Yes, we did uncover some of the similar secrets in the ruins. But this Alex guy explains it in detail, what an interesting guy. We the Ahnenerbe organization has started preparing the last few days. All our bases have started stockpiling weapons and supply. I suggest you do the same Strauss, it will be sad to see the Illuminati who claimed to be the guardian to sit on the sideline, or seeing the Knight templars perish.
On the other corner within the Zhao sisters booth. " "What do you think about this Ama (Grandma)?"
"Zhao Wei... we should start preparing... call out all the 4 families. this will become the most important matter, the next 7 days will be crucial. It will be foolish if the Yangs, Lius, and Chens not preparing as well.
If Alex saw this old woman, he will be surprised.. this is Zhao Fan one of the most powerful survivors. she was a Saint level spirit enhancer. She has been a fortune reader since her youth. A real oracle with a unique ability to see fate. when she died the world survivors lost their hope as well.
After the event, Alex went to the back room. In there 6 people already waiting for him. james Randall, Professor John, General Rico, Jerry, Aria and there is also Regent Suryo.
"Thank you to make the time to gather here. I have explained everything I can. Hopefully, you all also can believe me and make preparation. Only 7 days left, maybe this is the last time we met"
The professor walks up to him and said "I haven't finished reading the relic you found. But it's enough to tell me that the information you share is not from this relic... but somehow I believe in you...", I have a question that bothers my mind and please answer me."
"What is the casualty rate of the disease?...
.
.
"its 80% professors... 8 out of 10 people will not survive the plague"
.
"..."
the regent also shock, Alex told him before about the 80% casualty, but now, that he knew the detail of what will happen, he didn't realize 80% is only the starting number. Disease with no cure and no way to resist. If Alex told this number to the world, people will not accept it. Alex only dares to say this to the people in this room.
The professor asked another question "Do you know if people in this room will survive the plague or not?
.
.
the professor continues "What about me will I survive the plague?"
.
.
Alex answer slowly "I am sorry professor... in this room you are the only one who will not survive the plague"
.
.
In the previous life, the survivor did try to investigate the professors to learn of his study and it was found out that he didn't survive the plague.
.
"thank you for being honest with me, I will return to the United States and try to convince as many people as possible. Don't worry about my safety, and please take care of that assistant of mine if she's willing to stay and helping you."
.
"I assure you, professor, what you did these couple of days will really make a difference to the world, you will always be remembered."
.
The professor gives a complicated look and smile "Take care" then he left the premises. with mixed feelings.
.
There are now only his countrymen left in the room.
"Now, I really wish to discuss a strategy for our country"

8 126The Discarded
The Umbrae Lunae existed before man, beautiful abominations birthed in the nightmares of mad gods. They wait for humanity to misstep, for the angels to look away. For the moment when they can cloak the world in moon shadows once again. But even horrors have children. Even nightmares must feed. One child, unlike the others, finds his way to a school for young abominations. Will he be a sheep cast before the wolves, or a terror that wears the skin of wool to entice the wolf close? The flesh of his body was his only coin, strips cut to pay debts that never ended. Everyone has scars, stories in a life led, lessons learned, and licks taken. Luminous bodies touched by darkness. There are a cursed few that are the opposite, black shadows consumed by scars, twisted minds devoured by diseased hungers, bodies tortured misshapen works of gouged flesh, silver lines of blade thin cuts, ragged tears of teeth and glass. For them, the scars are marks of homecoming, the mangled wasteland the only place they feel at peace. Hell is a place. It's made of concrete, steel and glass. It's the sounds of starving kids crying themselves to sleep, huddling into small balls as creepers come and take their due of innocence and tender meat. It's eating rotten food and carrying ticks in your hair. It’s having no one and nothing while surrounded by everything. It's the life of a street kid. What abomination was birthed in the corrupt womb of man’s cast-off shit? Pretty people don't know the power of ugly. They can't see the strength in a broken soul or the power in a calloused heart. Those secrets are for the discarded alone. Only the broken understand the grace of darkness. The blessed folds that hide scars and tears, the protection of its concealing umbra.
