Six self-propelled large Brig Ships arrived at Bangakalan City's shore. This is a flat-bottomed ship, built mainly for river and canal, Indonesia as a country with thousands of islands really depends on its sea transport. Although this type of ships normally transports heavy loads such as coal, woods, stones or sands. The ones that arrived at the city were the largest type, they were 150 meters long and 20-meter wide. On top of these six, there were thousands of people, they were civilians, probably more Surabaya City survivors.
James Randall arrived at the port, and he directly approached Alex's group, he was accompanied by dozens of foreigners, they were mostly guards. Before he spoke to Alex, he seemed to delegate one of his man to take care of the people and supplies from the ships. He had no problem making Alex's group waits. Watching James action, the people around turned anxious.
Alex moved closer and started the conversation:
"Always the businessman, aren't you Mr. James?"
"Yes, yes I am sorry, the stuff I brought is quite delicate."
James gave his final instruction and then turned around facing Alex, with a warm smile and a firm handshake.
"My dear friend and savior Alex."
"Now you're being too much.", Alex replied.
"No honestly, not only did you cure this poor crippled man, but you also saved his life. If it wasn't because of you, me and many more of these people would have died."
"Hahahaha... from all I have heard since I arrived here is how my friend James Randall saved their life, they were seriously sad when hear you died."
James was startled: "I died? Yes... it might have looked that way from across the sea, I guess."
Alex curiously asked: "So how did you survive? I heard it was almost impossible for you to get away from the hordes."
"Hahaha, this is my secret weapon, I already asked my men to set it up for you to see."
The group went into a field not far from the Headquarter, dozens of non-functional cars were already placed on the other side of the field. James Randall's bodyguards were waiting with boxes of wooden crates. Most of these bodyguards were foreigners from North America.
Alex stared at these dozen bodyguards and felt that these people were not weaker than his special forces. James must have given each of them enough spirit stones to reach the peak stage mortal realm. Although they might have the same strength, most of these men are 2-meter height, they looked much more intimidating compared to Alex's Asian soldiers.
"I believe these men are part of your secret weapon, aren't they?"
James looked really proud when he replied:
"I hired these people from the Blackwater Mercenaries, and they have been taking care of me for years, they are like family to me. Let me introduce their commander. Codename; Waters, Zee, Slo, Red, and Flea. They were ex-navy seals that quit after a mission went wrong during a civil war in Nigeria."
Zee, an African American man, opened up a wooden crate and took out a huge machine gun.
The M134 Minigun, a six-barrel rotary machine gun with a high, sustained rate of fire (2,000 to 6,000 rounds per minute). It featured a Gatling-style rotating barrel.
Mass: 39 kg
Length: 801.6 mm
Barrel length: 558.8 mm
Cartridge: 7.62×51mm NATO
Barrels: 6
Dzzziiinggg... Dratatatatatattaattaatt
The bullet poured rapidly out of the rotating gun, the targeted car got pierced with multiple holes. It really was a monstrous gun. This gun was normally installed on top of a tank or inside of a helicopter. With his peak stage of the mortal realm, the African American man could easily hold it with one arm. It really was an impressive display, but it's nothing new for Alex... James saw his reaction too and said:
"Not impressive enough for you? Actually, this is only a weapon I use as a comparison, I guarantee what comes next will interest you."
James gave the order and the man called Red took out a weapon, this time from a huge modern aluminum box. The thing that he pulled out of the metal box really gave excitement to Alex. It's a metal cannon shaped weapon with a few cables showing out of it. It doesn't look pretty, but Alex had a rough idea about what kind of weapon this was.
"Is that what I think it is?", Alex asked.
"Yes, it is... it's a laser cannon."
"..."
"What!!... How!!... This..."
James showed his cheeky smile and said: "Let the man give´ you a demonstration first."
The man carried the weird looking weapon, it's not much smaller than a Gatling Gun, the new weapon also came with a metal backpack, which seemed to be its power source.
Zzzziiiinggg... Phhhiuww!! KABBOOMM!!
When hit by the laser weapon, the targetted car suddenly got blown apart. The demonstration really gave an impression to all the spectators.
"Do you like it? James had a satisfied smirk all over his face."
"Before doomsday, I gathered a focus group... we thought about any technology which can be useful, this laser cannon is one of them. Laser weapons have already been discovered for a few years, but its usefulness is limited. It can only be installed on top of heavy vehicles as it's very heavy and also needs to be accompanied by a large battery pack, but humans enhanced by spirit stones would solve this problem.
James Randal showed another fact that gave Alex more of a surprise, he opened up the battery pack and apparently James Randall scientists already came up with a way to use a spirit stone as an energy booster for the weapon. The technology was actually invented in the 1980s, where a scientist created an energy source trough pure mineral rocks; ruby, sapphire, and diamonds. But the project was shut down as the value of the stones far outweigh the energy they produced. When the focus group learned about the spirit stones, its research was reproduced.
Alex thought, if this could be mass produced, this could be a game-changer for humanity's defense. Later on, the doomsday pillars could provide almost all the items needed to survive, but it was always good to have options.
"It appears this weapon is the reason you survived the hordes, how many of such weapons do you have with you?"
"Just one... this is actually just the prototype."
"Anyway to mass produce it?", Alex asked.
"Not sure, but if you really want it, then we need to return to my office at the center of Surabaya city. We were only hiding on the port before. To get inside the city center will be very difficult, there are millions of those zombies in it."
Alex gave it some thought and decided for this task to become another thing to do before leaving the Surabaya city. Now with the ships, Alex could start making a better plan to evacuate all the 200.000 people, plus all the supplies and all the mutated cattle. After the weapon demonstration, Alex planned to gather all the leaders to join with the evacuation plan. But before that, lunch would be great, he thought. What kind of dishes would the chef prepare this time?
