《Doomsday 2020》43. The Doomsday Secret

Advertisement

Alex manages to get the audience attention. But Alex knows that this is not enough, he needs them to be prepared for what is about to come. Right now, there are 7 billion people in the world. 1,008 Doomsday Pillars are going to descend from the skies after a couple of months.

In his previous life, although the human race was able to hold on for 10 years before getting wiped out. He believed that they had already lost in their very first year. With the reincarnation that had happened to him, it gave their race a tremendous advantage. With all of his knowledge, if he planned it well, he could become the leader of the human race. But that was not what he wanted, what's the point of being the leader of a death race. These people needed to work together, they needed to look past their ethnic and national difference, they needed to unite to face a common threat.

Alex continues speaking,

"I will share with you the secret of the future, the professor's studies confirm part of its truth, but it will be up to you whether to believe it or not. I'm sure all of the people in this room are resourceful and smart enough to adapt to changing situations.”

"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 this disease. Please make peace with the people who will be dying and then burn their bodies."

"The real threat will be the mutated undead and monsters. I will give you some ideas of their strength."

Alex calls one person to the stage, it is Jerry. He has just arrived in Singapore today for this gathering. He demonstrates the power of a high stage Mortal Realm by bending metal rods and fighting a few of the bodyguards prepared by the Randall's. Although the fight can be staged, Jerry's movement speed however is not. The demonstration ends with Alex calling few of the audiences to hit Jerry with a metal rod with all of their strength and yet, he manages to resist it. The audience cannot believe the strength of this man called Jerry. Jerry leaves the stage and Alex continue with his speeches.

"That man is a person who has eaten six of this spirit stones."

"..."

The audience becomes frantic and their desire for the stone can be seen in their eyes...

"I was able to find a dozen of these stones from one of the relic sites."

Alex shows them his last dozen of spirit stones.

"I need to tell you though that Jerry's strength is admirable and truly astonishing. It will still be weak compared to the mutated monsters that will come. The weakest mutated monster will still be faster and stronger than him.”

"..."

"If you do kill a mutated monster, there is a possibility that a stone will drop. I hope that by now, you should have an idea how things will work in the future. Hunt or be hunted."

"The next important information that I am going to share is that, as we are getting stronger, they are getting stronger too. We will start seeing various and advanced types of monsters, there will also be one that is as big as a mountain."

"Our survival will depend on the massive structure that will drop from the sky, it will be called the Doomsday Pillars. It will drop simultaneously all over the world. The Doomsday Pillars have a function that can increase the limit of the human body. It is also a place where you can receive different kinds of artifacts such as this golem here. I will add another very important information about the Pillars; the greater the number and the strength of the survivors residing in the Pillars, the greater the benefits the Pillars would give."

"Through this gathering, we have managed to get your identities. We have sent you information about the Pillars, that we are aware of, that will be dropping near to your homes or bases."

The audience starts receiving the information. Alex is silent for a while and slowly says,

"In 7 days, when the first sign of disaster shows itself, you will know that all I have revealed here is the truth. I suggest you start making your preparation once you leave this place. Please use this information wisely. We, the humans need to work together. It will be hard for us to communicate in the first couple of months, but the solution will be within the Doomsday Pillars. If we manage to clear the Pillar’s first level, we can get communication access between the Pillars. I believe that is all I can share with you for now. If you want to know more, we will communicate again through the Pillars”.

All of the demonstrations and announcements took around one hour to finish. This was the weirdest event ever. The audience started to have mixed feelings about this. Some were cynical, while others were like the Randalls, although a nonbeliever, they had decided to be careful.

At the corner in one of the private balconies.

"So, what do you think, Strauss?"

The Cardinal replies,

"I'm not sure. This is quite disturbing. Adding to that is the fact that you are here, means you believe this to be true."

"Yes, we did uncover some of the similar secrets in the ruins. But this Alex guy, he was able to explain it in detail, what an interesting guy. We, the Ahnenerbe organization, have started preparing these last few days. All of our bases have started in stockpiling weapons and supplies. I suggest you do the same Strauss. It will be sad to see the Illuminati who claims to be the guardian of mankind sitting on the sidelines, or seeing the Knight Templars perish.”

In another balcony, the Zhao’s family booth, they were discussing about the information given.

"What do you think about this Ama (Grandma)?"

"Little Wei, we should also start preparing. Set up a meeting with all of the four families. This will become the most important matter, the next 7 days will be crucial. It would be foolish if the Yang’s, Liu’s, and Chen’s did not prepare as well.

If Alex saw this old woman, he would be surprised. She was Zhao Fan, one of the most powerful survivors. She was a Saint Realm and a Spirit Enhancer. She had been a fortune reader ever since her youth. A real oracle with a unique ability to see fate. When she died, the world’s remaining survivors lost their hope as well.

After the event, Alex goes to the back room. Inside the room, there are six people waiting for him. James Randall, Professor John, General Rico, Jerry, Aria and the Regent Suryo.

"Thank you for making the time to gather here. I have explained everything I can. Hopefully, all of you would believe me and start making preparations. There are only 7 days left and this may be the last time we will meet."

The professor walks up to him and says,

"I haven't finished reading the relics you had found. But it's enough to tell me that the information you shared with us is not from this relic. Nevertheless, I somehow believe in you. I have a question though that bothers my mind and if you can answer it, please do so."

"What is the casualty rate of the disease?”

"It is 80%, professor. 8 out of 10 people will not be able to survive the plague."

"..."

The Regent was also shocked, Alex had told him before about the 80% casualty, but now that he knew the details of what will happen, he didn't realize that the 80% was only the starting number. A disease with no cure and no way to resist. If Alex told this number to the world, people were inclined not to believe it. Alex only dared 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? If you do know, what about me? Will I be able to survive the plague?"

Alex answers slowly with a heavy heart, he doesn’t want to tell the professor, but the professor deserves to know,

"I am sorry professor... In this room, you are the only one that I know who will not survive the plague..."

In his previous life, the survivors did try to investigate the professor’s whereabouts. They wanted to learn more about what he had studied, but in their search for him, they found out that he didn't survived 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. I’m sure that she is willing to stay and help you."

"I assure you, professor, what you have done these couple of days will really make a difference to the world, you will always be remembered."

The professor gives a complicated look and smiles, "Take care.” He then leaves the premises with mixed feelings.

There are now only his countrymen left in the room.

"Now, I really wish to discuss what will be our strategy for our country."
