D-day #499
Nervousness, anxiety, helplessness. Tomorrow was the day of the tribulation, the day where all the Abyss Holes spreaded across the globe would bare their fang and release the beasts hidden within.
From the information provided by Alex during the World Conference, the surviving governments around the world knew the first day of the tribulation would be the hardest of all, as the Abyss creatures from tens of thousands of Abyss Hole would be pouring out together, submerging the Earth like raging waves that could not be stopped.
At the moment, Theo was having a urgent meeting with Nam and Lieutenant Choi. There were also Rama, Corrie, Maxine and Chicken participating in the meeting.
Other than Lieutenant Choi, the only one with commanding experience here were Nam, Theo and Rama. There were no real military figure left in the city since the generals had left Singapore during the end of civil war, while the rest were following Sidao escaping from their responsibility.
Turning his head towards Corrie, Theo asked, "What about Christina's condition? Is she well yet?"
Receiving the question, Corrie could only shake her head in resignation, "She's already awake..."
The words caused Theo's face turned bright. Alas, she still was not done talking yet, "But her condition is not good. Her body is burning due to a fever. The healer has been trying to help her and is still trying as we speak here."
Shaking his head helplessly, Theo turned his attention to the only military officer here, "Lieutenant Choi, I have to trouble you to lead and direct the citizens. None of the Singaporean will listen to Nam or me, as we do not have the prestige to be listened."
Lieutenant Choi nodded his head firmly, "Will do, Mr Theo. I will do whatever I can to help."
The group then quickly asked someone to bring the map of Singapore Island and began checking out their surrounding geographical condition stated on the map.
There were two Abyss Hole in Singapore. One of them was located 10 kilometers north of the city center, near the Sembawang Park. Meanwhile, the other one existed on Jurong Island, a little bit further about 30 kilometers west of the city.
Looking at the two Abyss Hole which were located not that far from the city, Theo could not help but feel a little headache.
Fortunately, Christina and the firebirds already cleared the closest Abyss Hole from its creatures as well as its boss. So, there would be less Abyss creatures that would come out to swarm the island from the north. Nevertheless, they still had to assign fighters across the city.
The main problem would be the Abyss Hole at Jurong Island, where the incoming swarms would be the most terrifying. Hence, Theo and the others would have to make sure the remaining fighters in the city were prepared for the attacks coming from the west.
"How many civilians and fighters are accounted for?"
"There are two thousands trained fighters, all of them have Sky realm level cultivation, eleven thousands militia, with the majority of Earth realm level, as well as twenty three thousands civilians, with half of them willing to be deployed as logistic and reserve forces."
Hearing there were still around ten thousands of civilians needed to take care of, Theo rubbed his forehead in frustration. During the tribulation, Alex told him the Doomsday Pillar would only open its first floor and facility floor, while the rest would be closed off. That meant only about one thousand people could hide inside it, safe from the dangers outside.
The situation forced Theo and the others to decide that only children and elders would be put inside the Pillars, while the rest would be posted and assigned in several defensive places, such as hall, malls and hospital. Places that allowed a large number of people gathering together.
With the population gathered together in one place, the manpower needed to keep an eye and guard them would be greatly reduced.
After the matter of Singaporean finished, Theo asked the most important question of all, aspect that would allow them to drastically reduce the difficulty of tribulation.
"What about the monolith? How many do we have?"
"We have five of them, which are enough to create a shield barrier that covers the entire city. But..."
Theo felt bad premonition from the pause. Clenching his fist, he asked, "But what?"
"Prime Minister Sidao took most of the spirit stones away with him."
*BANG*
Loud explosive sounds resounded through the room as Theo banged his fist on the table, destroying it. He was furious, extremely so.
"DAMMIT!!! That sick bastard!! It wasn't enough that he fucked up the whole city, event this?!"
Calming his raging heart, Theo took a deep breath and asked, "How many do we have? How long can they maintain the barrier?"
"Probably... Two or three days at most."
Hearing the miniscule amount, everyone in the room turned deadly silent. They completely understood three days would not be enough for them, as the tribulation would go on for a week. They needed 7 days worth of spirit stones, or the city would be razed into nothingness with all its citizens.
After a few seconds of suffocating silence, someone finally broke it.
"I will go down the streets and beg for people's spirit stones." Maxine, who was silent all this time, said.
Upon hearing the temporary solution of the problem, Theo could only nod his head, "Yes, please do that, Maxine. Hopefully it can give us one or two days worth of spirit stones. Thank you for your effort, by the way."
Nam, who had also been quiet for a while, finally spoke, "Is there really no other way? What about evacuating to other bases? Like the one in Indonesia for example. Or, is there really no reinforcement coming?"
Theo looked at Nam, with a gaze full of question marks, "That plan isn't possible, Nam. Not when there is literally only one day before the tribulation begins. Moving ten thousand civilians in one day would be a crazy thing to do."
"As for the reinforcement… We can only hope that there's one for us. I already asked the Sumatra bases, but it's hard to tell if they'll come, as everyone is preparing for the first tribulation and has no manpower to spare."
…
At the end of the meeting, Theo and the others had divided the Singaporean fighters into 5 groups. The first group led by Lieutenant Choi, second group led by Nam, third group led by Theo, fourth group led by Rama. As for the fifth and last group, it would be an independent unit led by the firebirds, Corrie and Maxine.
Each group was filled with roughly 300 Sky realm fighters and 2,000 militias.
After the matter was decided, Theo and the others immediately dispersed, doing everything they could to prepare for the tribulation.
-
The next day, the countdown on each and every Doomsday Pillar on Earth finally reached its last remaining seconds.
[00:00:05]
[00:00:04]
[00:00:03]
[00:00:02]
[00:00:01]
[00:00:00]
The moment the clock hit zero, the sky above Singapore instantly turned dark and the familiar purple storm, which had appeared on the day the disease spread, causing everyone to tense up.
Everyone knew the Doomsday Tribulation had just begun.
