《Doomsday Pillars》58. The Bait
Advertisement
07:00
At this time, most of the undead already awake and return to its basic instinct, ...to find something to eat. This undead might move a little slow but they have quite the strength to grab, pull and bite. Fighting zombie one on one might be easy, especially using a weapon. But for one human being surrounded by three, or ten, or consider an unending wave of tens of zombies, even high-rank mortal rank human will fall. The trick is to not get surrounded by keep moving or fight within groups. Also, try to make as little noise as possible as it will attract more zombies.
The morning sun already came, The last 8 hours more than 10.000 survivors came to this base. The survivors were separated into 3 categories. The fighters, the workers and the children and elders. There is nothing much the base can do to the elders and children at the moment. The workers divided by Devita, Tony and Jane depend on their skill; Administrator, Builder, and Farmer. The last one, the fighters were sent to Captain Donnie. As the situation is currently still in chaos all around Bali, these fighters are only given a few hours basic training, equip with weapons and right away send to a mission with Bayu.
Jerry and Rangga Unit successfully finish their 150 kilometers marathon in 8 hours. They have managed to inform and help dozens of villages along the shores. In the end, the group manages to recruits, one thousand men to help. With these numbers, Jerry and Rangga decided to continue to the West section. The West section has two main cities, the Gilimanuk on the north side with around 150.000 people, and Negara on the south side with 300.000 people. Rangga has special mission prepared by Alex beforehand, he went to Gilimanuk, a port city on the westernmost of Bali only separated by 2 kilometers strait to East Java. While Jerry went to the Negara. Each unit brings 500 volunteers to help. This time they went in fully armed.
Benny Group successfully cleared up all bodies in Antiga city. The road between Bay city to The main base is now safe. Lt Commander Karra Echo unit, on the other hand, was not so smooth. Unlike Benny, the commander doesn't really know the locals. In the end, Benny group came over to help her. It took them the whole 8 hours to cleared up Semarapura 100.000 plus bodies. When the dawn comes there were only a few zombies left. After recruiting more people, the group went to the next city. it is the Amarapura city with 350.000 population. The city located on the far east, to go there they need to pass the Bay city.

Surprisingly the fight has already reached the bay city. Lieutenant Russel Unit currently defending against hundreds of zombies attack.
Lieutenant Russel Navy commandos were startled by the sudden attack.. the city and villages on the east of Bay city didn't have the chance to be informed. The undead attack came from the east. Luckily the Villa covered the east side of the city. Its the first place that being attack, therefore the bay city locals were warned by the shootouts of the Charlie units.
"Lieutenant WTF is this..."
"That's what we are here for sergeant Joni, stay in formation.."
"!!!.. it's getting closer!!"
DRATATATATATATAT..
"Calm down sergeant!!"
Commander Karra and Benny reached the bay city in time.
Benny said, "They are under attack!! Commander, should we join the battle now?"
Lt Commander Karra startles looking at the zombies, she was stunned.
"Come on commander lets help them now"
They rushed in and join the attack... the situation finally under control...
She finally calm herself and said... "Stop using your gun unless it's necessary... use melee weapon instead, a gunshot will only draw more of them. Mr. Benny send every elder and children with the truck to the base while all other able-bodied man and women that can pick up a weapon, should join the fight "
.
The Battle of the Bay city finally start.
.
The battle in the south was on a very much larger scale. The whole South section divided into the North Denpasar city and the south is the Nusa Dua island. Both area connected in a narrow space. from up above geographically it shaped like an hourglass. On the north outer of Denpasar city itself located 6 smaller cities. Kerambitan, Tabanan, Mengwi, Abiensemal, Sukawati, and Gianyar. All of this 6 small cities, Denpasar Capital city, and Nusa Dua Island. totaled more than 3 million people.
10:00
When the zombies start to woke up.. all chaos breaks loose... casualties count start to increase. The spread out tactics was not effective anymore. Alex ordered all men to slowly retreat to the outer city.
Alex gathered all the leaders for a Tactical meeting. Lieutenant Aria, Captain Farell, Captain Adnan, Colonel Jaka, Major Sandi, Governer Agung, and Rama.

"It's good you are saved governer"
"Yes yes yes..." the governers seems still a little shock
"AARRRGGGHHHH one of that thing bite me.. will I become infected?"
"Don't worry Colonel Jaka its not infectious you'll be fine"
Alex starts the meeting.
Alex reminds them about the strength of the zombies and whats the best way to defeat them. He also explained to them about the red mutated zombies with greater speed and strength and also about the spirit stone.
"The current tactic was too slow. there are a million zombies in the city.. it would take too much time. We need a better tactic... The aim is to save as many people as possible with least casualty while preserving as much ammunition as possible."
Captain Farell as an intelligence officers came up with a brilliant strategy. First to create 6 posts on each 6 smaller cities. This 6 post will quarantine the zombie movement from Denpasar to many other areas north of it. This will also become a survivor post for those who were injured and also a pickup point to transfer all children and elders to the main base. The police, and the army. totaled 1800 people. The pencak silat society 1000 men and 5000 volunteers. Totaled 7800 men will be divided to guard the 6 posts. Each with 1600 men. This operation will be organized and led by Captain Farell and Colonel Jaka.
The main strategy called "The Bait" is too lure as many zombies as possible to one place and bombarded them with heavy weaponry. The allocated location is Bali Airport. Its place strategically on the narrow path between the Denpasar city and Nusa Dua island. The narrow path will make the best defensive stance. This location will not just lure the zombies from Denpasar. but also the one in Nusa Dua island too.
Eight APV were allocated for this strategy. Only APV would be safe enough to charge into millions of zombies. not included the red mutated one. Therefore 104 men were selected. This will be an extremely dangerous mission therefore, joining will be voluntary.
Groups of Deathsquad, Army Redbarret, Police Densus88, and Red Belt and white shash top Pencak silat disciples were gathered. 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. The rest are soldiers specialized in Operating the APV.
.
Someone starring at Alex with a big smile.. its Cindy.
"..."
"Nope!! you are definitely not coming"
12:00
Eight APV drove through the Denpasar city using eight separate route while making a very loud noise to attract the zombies
"WE ARE FROM THE ARMY... WE ARE LEADING THE UNDEAD TO THE SOUTH... ALL SURVIVOR IMMEDIATELY MOVE TO THE NEAREST SURVIVAL POST NORTH OF THE CITY... I REPEAT... WE ARE....."
DRRAATTATATATATAT...
.
Along the way. the APV firing up the machine guns to make noises and thin them up. bit by bit...
.
.
16:00
The APV arrived at the destination... hundred thousands of zombies behind them...
All 90 fighters jump out and getting into position.. one squad start planting C4 all around the airport. two squads went inside and cleaned up the zombie inside the terminal... but as Alex feared, on the second floor they found hundred of survivor hiding.
.
.
this could be tricky
.
.
"ALL UNIT, ITS SEEMS WE NEED TO HOLD UP FOR A FEW HOURS"
.
"I have sent for help... meanwhile let's give our guest a proper welcome"
.
"LIGHT THEM UP"
.

An Id of Primal Chaos
TAG DISCLAIMER: The tags 'Portal Fantasy / isekai', 'High Fantasy', and 'Non-Human Lead' do not take place until later on in the novel. Probably mid-way through the first volume. The 'villainous lead' tag is a very loose tag. Some of the things the mc does can be considered villainous to those with a staunch moral code, however, I have not made the mc out to be overtly villainous. True Title: Advent of the Silent Storm (I came up with the original title a while ago, before I had even written a single chapter. It still kind of fits but this new title fits a lot better. I would change it but I don't know if it would screw up the recommendation algorithm.) Excerpt: My mind wanders through the soup of unconsciousness, still startlingly awake despite my physical form’s stasis. Electricity completely paralyzes the air around me and lightning flashes in a constant strobe of blinding light. The ground, thousands of feet below my being has been wiped clean of all manmade artifice and natural beauty; leveled, through absolute power. My power. Synopsis: Tetal Faelen, a very successful businessman with lofty goals, is introduced to an omniscient being through less than pleasant means. This being has an irresistible offer for Tetal with next to no downside. Tetal can’t help but wonder, “What’s the catch?” Additional Notes: Second novel I have started within the Web of Interconnected Realities. My other novel is not posted on this site so don't bother looking for it. I might post it here in the future.

DarkBoi69's mediocre, rushed and badly-written aventure
Follow DarkBoi69's edgy adventure as I move him through a shitty plot where he meets terribly-written characters like angry evil stupid villains and naive cute useless busty women. This story is not really an actual serious story but simply a writing exercise for me to focus on overall writing speed, forcefully insert some writing in my everyday life to increase productivity and most importantly help with turning ideas, thoughts or feelings into writing directly without feeling blocked, hopefully trying to achieve something as close as possible to writing unconsciously what i’m thinking about. I'll probably try to do something like writing as much in 30 mins as I can, nearly every-day. So far I've only done this once and it already seems like a pretty good thing to do. I don’t have anything planned and that’s probably going to be a constant for every one of these exercises, so it’ll end up being not very good (although maybe better than it has any right to be? ) and nonsensical.
