Doomsday Pillars 99 What A Crab

The man who just walked into the room used to be very famous, he was one of the controversial governors. He was awarded as one of the best governors in the world but the country unjustly put him in prison. He was loved by the people for fighting the country's corruption but also hated by some because of it.

Alex knew about this guy named Cahya, he really respected the man. His reputation was enough to make Alex order the golem to let the colonel go.

Uhuk!! Uhuk!!

The colonel's face turned pale, he lost his breath and almost choked to death by the rock monster. He was not in the position to talk.

Although the ex-governor was a respectable character, Alex was a little bit worried that the two dozen armed guards decided to open fire on Alex and the group. So he decided to drop the colonel close to his side. Alex then stared at the man and asked:

"Mr. Cahya, please explain."

The ex-governor gave out a little sigh and slowly explained.

"Mr. Alex, believe me, I have known Mr. Randall since before the doomsday, he was my friend as well, his death also troubled me."

The ex-governer talked very emotionally, he seemed really sincere.

"He invited me and a few others to prepare for the end of days, I thought he was crazy at first. But he seriously turned lots of his a.s.sets and resources into buying weird stuff. He really turned a few parts of this Madura Island into a safe haven for the survivors, without his help many more people would have died, we really are grateful for all he did."

"After we managed to take over the largest city on this island, we thought we would start rebuilding in this base, but he kept arguing that we would need to move the base... many were against him... I also was... How could hundreds of thousands of citizens, women, and children move past these millions of zombies."

"He never gave up to try to convince us, it seems he's waiting for you, a friend from the east... But there was an incident that resulted in the zombie hordes crossing the bridge... Hundreds of thousands of them... We took a vote and decided to blow up the bridge."

"He insisted that our decision was wrong... We could not believe him... When the soldiers carried out the explosives, he took the armored car and drove across the bridge... Many people thought he did it to increase the success rate of the plan. But I know there was something he really needed to do across the bridge at that time... Whatever his plan was, he failed... none of us believe that he is still alive."

The ex-governer really has talent with his word, Alex never really trusted a politician though... Politicians are by far the most adept at lying. They study how to do it and have advisors that do research on what are the best ways to lie. They are professional liars.

Luckily Alex has a lie detector with him, Theo stared at him and gave a nod, it seemed to be the truth. Alex gave it some thought and said:

"But none of you really saw him get killed right?"

The ex-governor seemed to want to argue but suddenly hesitated and decided to say:

"Yes, there is a possibility that he is still alive."

.

Alex felt much more relaxed now..."Good," He then helped the colonel up and said

"I am sorry colonel, I was too emotional just now."

The colonel gave such a big smile and said:

"It's no problem at all Mr. Alex... Hehehe."

Alex thought this colonel must be one of the types that got past the ranks with connections, he seemed really unreliable... But he was probably not a bad or greedy person... Alex thought in times like these there's really no need to be greedy for power... Food or spirit stones maybe... But being a leader in times like these is too troublesome.

"I would like to see the site where it happened.", Alex said.

"Yes.. yes, I could accompany you myself, Mr. Alex..."

When the group walked out of the hotel, suddenly a bell was ringing...

TING...!TING...!TING...!

The whole group was startled... Alex asked: "What happened?"

The colonel said: "It's an emergency message from the city... this mean mutated beast attack... "s.h.i.+T!! Could it be that thing again?"

"It's the third attack this week..." The ex-governor seemed worried.

"I'm sorry I really can't accompany you right now Mr. Alex… Although maybe you can give us a hand?"

Alex gave it some thought and decided to tag along, 10 trucks drove down from the chalk mine bases. Hundreds of other soldiers who didn't get a ride would run to the city.

The chalk mines were only 3 kilometers away from the main city of Bangkalan, it only took the group 5 minutes to reach the coastal city. The city currently turned into a survival base since a week ago. All the survivors from Surabaya and the Madurese locals were setting up their new homes in this city.

Area: 65 hectares

Total Survivors: 241.988

Leader: Cahya

Defense Team: 5 Military Battalion 5.245

There were a lot of survivors from the Surabaya city, this should be thanks to the bridge that made retreating to Madura much easier.

When Alex reached the city, the long coast of sand was filled with red creatures, they were mutated crabs. Hundreds of mutated crabs were moving inland, they've got big pincers, googly eyes, and a thick exoskeleton. The smallest size was a meter in diameter, while the larger ones were about twice that size. Alex has seen the mutated crabs in his previous life. These mutated crabs have the power of medium stage beasts. Other than their two big pincers and their hard bodies, there was really nothing special about these crabs.

The city currently had only 5 battalions of soldiers, the other battalions were on the campaign to clean off all of the zombies within Madura Island. These few thousands of soldiers were seen struggling to defend themselves against the mutated beast.

Dratatatattata...!! Dratatattata...!!

Clank! Clank! Clank!

Firearms were ineffective against their hard bodies, even the high caliber bullets were only able to crack it... The defensive soldiers took whatever melee weapon they had, they really were struggling...

CRUSSHH!! CRUSSHH!!

The big pincers could easily crush human bodies, the defensive lines were starting to crumble.

"f.u.x.x.xxx!!! There are so much more compared to the last attack!!"

The colonel took the hundreds of units that he brought to support the defense team. Alex gave a few words to his group before he suddenly also rushed into the mutated beasts.

Tak! Tak! Tak! Tak! Hussssss!!!

Alex jumped on top of one of the larger sized crabs, it's the crab's blind spot, its pincers were unable to hit an opponent on top of its body. Alex pulled out an ax from his storage ring and quickly swung its blade to the spot between the crab's eyes...

SWWWISSSHHH!!!.. Crack!!

With just one swing, the bigger sized mutated crab died just like that... Many of the soldiers around saw what Alex did.. And they suddenly cheered excitedly... Alex shouted:

"The spot between their eyes is their weakness, just watch out for the pincers and you all can easily kill these creatures. Let's Go!!"

Within seconds every man in the defensive line followed what Alex did... The wind suddenly changed... The mutated crabs died easily one after another... Suddenly, a loud sound could be heard coming out of the sea. It's a huge white colored mutated crab 6 meters in diameter, around the size of a truck. The soldiers within its vicinity were terrified but unable to have the chance to run away from it...

SWWWIISSHH!!! BAAMM!!

With a single swing of its pincers, three men were crushed... dead.

The appearance of what appears to be the mutated crabs' alpha shocked all the men...
