Sydney, New South Wales.
24 hours before Alex's Arrivals
The sun had just risen, marking the arrival of morning. The morning sun shines across the city of Sydney, giving people the excitement of a new day coming. Inside a two-story house in the center of Sydney, A middle-aged man is seen sleeping on a large comfortable bed with a beautiful blonde woman lying beside him. When suddenly a barrage of loud noises woke them up.
Knock! Knock! Knock
Groans could be heard escaping the man's mouth as he frowned at this unexpected commotion, "What the…? Who the hell dares to disturb the prime minister..?!" he said half whispering.
Perhaps it was the sudden man's voice or perhaps the knocking on the door, the woman woke up and squirmed under the covers. "Urrgg, deputy prime minister…" said the woman next to him. "What's with the comm-"
Before the woman could finish her sentence, the man beat her to it as he stroked her hair. "Why do you keep saying that, love ... Call me prime minister, that position is mine sooner or later. It's just that that damn governor general has been playing tricks on me, preventing me from officially becoming one." said the man, with annoyance in his voice.
Thump! Thump!! Thump!!!
The sound of knocking suddenly changes to the sound of banging on the door, interrupting the lovebird's conversation.
"Aren't you going to open the door?" said the woman, confused by the man's lack of intention to answer the door.
"Don't worry, darling. If it's really important, my boss will take care of it." said the man with apparent derision at his boss.
"You are shameless.." she said, giggling.
Unfortunately, for these two lovebirds the moment was shattered as the banging on the door continued violently.
THUMP! THUMP!! THUMP!!!
"Okay okay! I'll be out soon!" shouted the man, irritated by the banging. The man swears he will fire whoever ruined his morning romance. He then turned to the woman who was still lying on the bed, "Sorry, my love. I have to work."
Crack... Bang!
The door suddenly opened with a loud bang and half a dozen heavily armed soldiers entered the room, securing the parameters. This was followed by a hysterical scream of a woman.
"What the bloody hell!!"
A high ranking soldier approached the still shocked man.
"I sincerely apologize for the abrupt intrusion, Deputy Prime Minister Malcolm. But we must evacuate immediately!"
Just as the man was about to lash out, his tongue tied at the soldier's words.
"What? What happened?!"
"This area of the city is no longer safe, sir. We need to move, now."
Seeing the deputy prime minister was still confused, the high ranking soldier immediately gestured toward his men. Without saying much, a soldier quickly grabbed the deputy minister and escorted him out of the room half naked. They swiftly got into the military jeep that had been prepared beforehand.
"W-Wait! Can't you let me change clothes at least ??"
"I am truly sorry, sir." said the high ranking soldier. "The deputy prime minister has been secured. Go! GO!" The engines of multiple jeeps started quickly as they sped out of downtown Sydney.
"I demand an explanation!" said the deputy prime minister, clearly not understanding what was going on.
"Yes, sir. Later, I-" As the soldier tried to calm the man down, he suddenly shouted. "Watch out !!"
The jeep in which the deputy minister was suddenly turned sideways and stopped when Malcolm saw that in front of the convoy, a pitch-black huge figure was blocking the way.
"Yes, sir. Later, I-" As the soldier tried to appease the man, he suddenly shouted. "Watch out!!"
The jeep the deputy minister was in suddenly steered to the side and stopped as Malcolm saw that in front of the convoy, a pitch black huge figure was blocking the road.
Seeing the familiar figure, Malcolm's body trembled. "T-That's a stage 3 zombie! How could that monster get so deep an-" Before he could finish his words, he saw dozens of red zombies crawling right behind the black figure. "Move! Let's get away from here!!"
From the jeep at the front of the convoy, three soldiers got out of the vehicle and started firing their assault rifles at the black zombies, trying to take it down. As the black figure was showered by rain of bullets, several red figures were seen crawling past it, towards the soldiers.
Seeing the incoming zombies, the three of them took out their melee weapon and started swinging and slashing at the closest zombie. Meanwhile, the other soldiers simultaneously got out of the vehicle and suppressed the stage 3 zombie.
It was known that all the active soldiers, especially the elites in charge of the VIP were all Sky realm Knight fighters. So, these red stage 2 zombies were no match for them. One of the elite fighters jumped into the air towards the black figure and cut off the head of the huge monster using his melee weapon. "The Way is Clear!" shout the soldiers.
Seeing the monster die, the deputy minister said anxiously. "Let's move again! Hurry!"
As the convoy moved again, Malcolm turned towards the soldier beside him, the expression on his face serious.
"What the hell happened, soldier? Tell me!"
"Sydney has been overrun, sir. Hundreds of thousands of zombies are currently besieging the city."
Startled, Malcolm angrily said, "Besieging the city?! These are zombies they don't besiege!"
"That's the information we have, sir. That's why we have to get you to headquarters immediately."
"Shit! What about Governor General Scott?! What did he say?"
"I apologize, sir. Mr. Scott was killed in action two hours ago. You are now in charge."
Hearing the shocking news, Malcolm fell silent in disbelief. He has wanted the job since the prime minister died of the disease last year. However Scott, the queen's appointed governor general, has taken the reins ever since. But when he now took over the leadership so suddenly, it worried him.
"The woman in my apartment.."
"Yes sir someone else will take care of her.."
"Damn! the day has finally came"
Not long after, Malcolm finally arrived at headquarters. It was the governor house located just south of the Sydney Opera house. Since Doomsday started, the place has become the headquarters of what is left of the government. As he entered the command center, he could see several high-ranking officers and soldiers in the room. When Malcolm read the report and saw the situation depicted on the map in the center of the table, he could not help but say inappropriate words.
"Is this real?"
"Unfortunately, yes, sir."
"That's over a million zombies. How is that possible?"
"The now deceased governor general saw the odd behavior of zombies in the past two days sir, so he ordered the soldiers to observe them. Apparently, hordes are gathering outside the city. Unmoved, seems waiting for something" said one of the officers in the room.
Turning his head toward the officer, Malcolm said. "Waiting?? What do you mean waiting?How could this mindless monster be waiting!"
"Yes sir, for the last 24 hours, more and more hordes came from the north, south and west of the city and they didnt attack, governor general brough hie elite fighter and went to check it out but only a few return, they were ambush"
Malcolm now began to feel his breath falter and his hands that were under the table trembling as he realized the dire situation they were in. More than a million zombies and with irregular behavior. Even though, in the past year he has consistently opposed the governor general's unpopular policies as he tries to overthrow the man. But deep down in his heart, he had always respected and relied on this governor general who was also a very reliable front line commander. And now that he had heard that the man was dead and the city was facing its greatest threat, he really wanted to vomit.
Malcolm quickly picked up the mineral bottle that was on the table while slowly drinking it and splashing water on his face. He then slowly adjusted his breath, exhaling and inhaling as he controlled his emotions. He is now responsible for millions of lives. It was not the time for him to feel sorry for his condition and doubt himself. He could do those later when this mess was over. For now, he had to take the lead.
Several minutes passed as Malcolm processed the information at his disposal, trying to quickly think of ways to reduce if not resolving the situation. A series of commands then left his mouth as he looked at the surrounding officers.
"Bring all the fighters and civilians back to the second layer. Put all the resources into this path. The Endeavor Bridge, the Canterbury bridge, the Iron Cove and the Sydney harbor. All residents, especially men above the Earth realm stage should gather at Ashfield Mall for further instruction."
"Yes sir!"
"And also bring me our friend from Indonesia."
