《Doomsday Pillars》57. Last Duty
Advertisement
Alex and the Alpha Unit went to the Military base, to be safe, the Units park the vehicles one kilometer away from the base. The last information Alex got, the military did manage to gather their soldier from all around Bali to this base. There should be Major General Agus, a colonel, Captain Farell, and around 8000 soldiers. In Alex previous life, Alex never heard of Major Agus, It was Captain Farell from the Military intelligence who manage to lead the Bali military personnel. This is one of the places he used as a survivor base until the doomsday pillar came.
Alex thought even if General Agus got infected by the disease, Captain Farell or one of the colonels should be able to assume command. What actually happened inside this base, Alex hoping his action didn't create a negative butterfly effect. Alex really hopes nothing too bad happened to the army or captain Farell.
The base is up in the hill, Although it's only 30 minutes away from the city of Denpasar, it's quiet isolated. There is forest all around the compound. The base surrounded by steel fences, and watchtower. There are many barracks and a few hangars to store military vehicles.
Alex currently waiting next to the units with the vehicles. Aria just returned with the scout's team.
"So what did you see?"
"There are only a few guards around the compound.. its' too quiet."
"Ok all of you stay here first," Alex said
"Where are you going?" Aria's worried
"Just wait"
Less than 5 minutes Alex already returned and brought an unconscious soldier. Alex with his skill able to move fast and silent, it's easy for him to grab one of the guards. They woke the guy up and interrogate him. When he knew the one who came are fellow soldiers, he complies with all the question.
Apparently, when the disease starts showing, there was chaos within the rank. The one who got infected were greater in number, they force and lock up the uninfected ones.
"All the infected should be dead by now, then what happened to General Agus or Captain Farel? did they not survive the disease?" Alex asked
"Both of them did, its actually the General who ordered the lockup for all the uninfected, Captain Farell got lock up in one of the hangars with hundred of the soldier." Some of the uninfected who help the general are his closest subordinates"

Alex somehow feels relief hearing this. Although the situation is complicated, at least the uninfected soldiers are alive. Before he tried to confront the general, he should check up the captured soldier first.
There are 5 squads of 10 men between the Alpha unit. Alex brought Aria and two squads with him. Cindy wanted to come... the request baffle Alex. What's wrong with an American girl, can't they see the situation is dangerous? Alex forces her to stay.
.
There was definitely a slight smile within Aria face.
.
The group finds no trouble to get entry into one of the hangar. These are all death squad special forces. They were swift and silent. Plus, with Alex in the lead, none of the guard seen him coming. He's too fast. A few unconscious guards later, Alex and the group went inside.
There are over 1000 soldiers got locked up, they seem gloomy. Alex group arrival startles them. Alex found Captain Farell among them.
"What Happens here, Captain?"
"Mr. Alex, good you are here. we have gathered as planned. But when the infected start shows, the general didn't order to isolate them. The situation becomes tense, but the general decides to lock us up instead,"
"Aria, you release the others first, Captain you come with me to see the General"
.
"..."
Suddenly a group of armed soldier rushed into the hangers. this is the red barret army special forces... there are 60 of them. The situation became tense.. 20 death squad against 60 red barretts. with hundreds of soldier sitting tied up in the middle. If the shoot out starts it will be chaotic. many lives will fall.
.
"Hold your fire!!" Alex said
.
"That's wise Mr. Alex, I am Captain Adnan, commander of this Red barret unit, we met before in the meeting.
.
.
"Captain Adnan... let me see the General"
"Let me come too," Captain Farell said.
.
"Ok but your men need to stand down and drop their weapon"
.
Alex looked at Aria and told her to follow... She's concerned.
.
"Don't worry I can tell the general doesn't want any blood spilled between us"
Alex, Aria and Farell three of them went to see the general. Captain Adnan lead them to another hangar.
"..."
This hangar filled with bodies of soldiers who died from the disease. All 6000+ bodies, each body were covered with white sheets and placed neatly in rows on the ground. The view was heartbreaking. Major General Agus, the highest rank soldier in Bali, the leader of the 9th Division can be seen standing in one corner of the hangar starring into the bodies.

.
"Greeting general"
Alex always pays courtesy to old generals, he has abdicated his life to defend the country.
.
"Mr. Alex you are here, at last, I'm sorry if I ruined your plan"
.
"What happened here general?"
.
The general thought for a while and slowly answer...
"When my friend Suryo told me about you and this doomsday, I was skeptics. but for a friend, I am willing to listen. but I never really believe it. When the storm came, and the disease struck, I realize it's the truth. I was here standing in front thousand of my men when I suddenly see thousands of those red eyes staring back at me"
"I completely understand what will come next and the risk of not following the plan, but I really can't make the order to just giving up on these men."
.
.
"You are a parent Mr. Alex?" The general continues
"Yes general"
.
"All of these men were like my children. since they first join the army, they came here, slept here, ate here, trained here, grew up here"
The general point at one of the body "That one... his parent already died since young, when he got married I was his guardian". The general point to another body "That one... his mother send me rice cakes every day and ask me to look after her son" This one here "Colonel Relly.... he is more like a brother to me than my own brother. we have been friend for 30 years"
.
"..."
"Answer me this Mr. Alex, Are you 100 percent sure that all these bodies will turn into an undead?... Are you 100 percent guarantee that there is no cure? Are you completely believed that between these 6000 bodies none would wake up as a normal human?"
.
"Yes, I am sure general. even if there is a cure, now it's already too late. These people already died."
.
".... i... I can't accept that. in the world where we believe in the existence of zombies and monsters. there should be gods among them.. so where is he? Where is his divine intervention?"
.
"..."
Alex was startled... he remembers that grey figure again, he really can't answer this. he thought for a while and said.
.
"What you plan to do general?"
.
"I plan to wait till the last hour, that's the least I can do for them"
.
"General, your action will jeopardize our plan. more people will suffer because of this. can you at least let the soldiers go and help the people?"
.
"Yes...you are right... captain Farell... you can follow Mr. Alex here to help the people.. you too captain Adnan you and your soldiers can go too..."
.
Captain Farell: "you should come with us General..!!"
.
"Don't you worried about me captain..." The general opens his arm and shows the switch in his arm. "You should go.. everything has been prepared, if these soldiers really turn into undead, I will free them from their suffering."
Apparently, the general has ordered the Red Barrett to prepare C4 all over the hangar beforehand, He knows his soldier will not let him do this, so he locked them up first.
Alex said, "Are you sure general?"
"Mr. Alex, I'm already too old for this. please take care the rest of my soldier and save as many of the people as you can"
.
Alex gave a salute to the old general and walk away. Captain Farell, Captain Adnan the army soldier and the Red Barrett total around 1200 soldier they went to the armory and armed themselves. As for the rest of the arsenal, he will send other people to pick up later. The vehicles at the hangar need some modification, therefore currently cannot be used. The army came back with Alex to the city. The vehicles Alex brought, are not enough for everyone, they decided to start sweeping from the north to the south.
.
.
Six hours passed, the dawn came.
With help from the army, the south section group manages to cover half of the Denpasar city.
.
Time's up...
.
.
KAAABBOOOOMMMM!!!
.
Big explosion can be seen in the hill... smoke fills out the morning sky... It seems the General just finished his last duty...
.
.
this also means
.
The dead has finally risen.
