One stop before going to Singapore. Perth Western Australia. Alex spent his teenage life in this country. He went here to study when he was 15, and stay for 10 years. This is the life he had before meeting his wife, building his company and the 11 years doomsday. This seems like a very long time ago. But he grew up here, many of his friends still live here and some of the people here were like family to him.

Alex organized a simple reunion party. 30 of them manage to come. Some came with their families, seeing Alex came with Aria made them give him some weird starring. They are having fun that day. But its really hard for him to enjoy any of it. In his previous life, he didn't hear any news from Australia till later years. Most of them died by then. There is one person he knows who did survive, Evan the class president.

Alex brought up the viral video topic to the group and almost all of them making a good joke out of it. It's very hard for people to believe it until they have seen it with their own eyes. It's not ignorance, stubbornness or stupidity, its human nature.

Alex really can't expect much from this group, but nevertheless, he was still hoping he can change the future and save some of them. His main agenda actually to have someone he knows to prepare his second phase.

Different than Indonesia, the Australia continent will be very important for Alex. It has 4 times the total area size than Indonesia with only one-tenth of the population. There are only 5 pillars drop in Indonesia but Alex knows at least 20 of them will be drop-in Australia. In the previous life, some of these pillars can't stand the attack as there are not enough survivors. A few even being left untouched. The geography location also strategically close to Indonesia.

Alex has some private talk with Evan and a few other he closes with. He convinced them to help him for the next few days. Alex planned to buy lots of items to be stored in the city of Darwin. Australia northern territory city and the closest to Indonesia. The amount of money and the list of item to buy shocked them. Foods and supplies and the specific place to store it. Alex told them hypothetically this could be a great place to hide if the doomsday really does come.

Alex was hoping if they could get a hint, and move to this location when things hit the fan. But he couldn't hope much, he can't help everyone and he can't force them to move to Bali either. Either way, this location could become his starting point for his second phase.

Singapore. 22nd of December. The night before the gathering Alex have planned to meet with someone from his past, a special friend.

Christina, Alex knew her even longer than Theo. They first met at college in Australia. The college most beautiful student, she was idolized by many, the famous girl with big eyes. One of Alex closest friend. They did have something emotional happen back then but they were never a couple. When Alex went back to Indonesia, she also returned to Singapore.


Christina background is not simple. She came from one of the most influential families in Singapore. Her family is somehow related both the 9 dragons and the China big 4 families. They own the biggest real estate in Singapore. Christina married a young colonel in the Singapore army, they had a young daughter and a son. But their married didn't last long.

Alex made the time to meet and talk to her tonight not just because of their relationship, but also because this woman Christina in Alex previous life was a survivor and also a well-known spirit enhancer.

Singapore is a very crowded city, they are facing the doomsday with a unique situation. When the disaster struck many people died. But the government manage to control the situation. With many difficulties, the island manages to clean out all the undead. The Singapore survivor only needs to take a defensive stance on the bridge facing Malaysia. Later on, when the mutated beast starts coming, the Singapore city also being fortunate as the Doomsday pillar drop right in the middle of the city. This pillars actually one of the best options for Alex to choose, but Singapore island has almost no resources. therefore Alex chooses Bali island instead.

Alex met her in one of Singapore hawker stall, a simple street food vendor. This is one of the reasons Alex like her friend very much. Although she came from a prestige background she prefers simple living. She cares for others and likes to do charities.

"Hei Alex what's a surprised"

She then realized there is a beautiful girl next to Alex, she confuses...

"Hi. Christina, oo yes this is Aria, my associate"

Alex wonders why this girl name Aria find it so hard to understand a situation... there are some meetings that business and some are personal... and why this girl really so serious with her mission. does she have to follow him all the time? well, Alex doesn't want to make this more awkward than it already is. so he just ignores it.

"So what's up? a sudden phone call... you sound serious"

Alex replied, "Did you heard about the gathering tomorrow?"

"You mean about that doomsday video? yes watched it already. Because of that video, there are groups of whacko start showing up in here" what about it?"

Alex point a finger into his face

"I am one of those whackos"

"..."

"Hahahahahah you always funny Alex" she smiles at Alex, she flashes back to some good time they share together. but then she realized Alex doesn't share the laugh... she startles

"..."

"Are you serious?"

"Yes, I want to make sure you take the doomsday message seriously" in fact I am the one responsible for making the video"

Christina becomes serious now, she thought for a while and said: "Are you related to James Randal?"

"Yes I am"

"Is it true That Randall's has created a miraculous medicine?"

"You mean this one?" Alex took out a white crystal stone, the spirit stone.

Christina look at the stone, give it some thought and said. "What did you get into Alex?, the Randalls and many others are not to be messed with"

Alex was deep down happy that this woman still cares about him..and said "Don't worry about me. I actually came to give you one of this stone. This stone will give you a higher chance to survive the initial disaster, I am worried my action with the video will harm you somehow."

Alex told her to be prepared, stay home on the 31st, most importantly be there for her kids. Alex doesn't really know if Christina children die from the disease or not. Because of her family status Alex not sure it's a good idea to bring her to Bali either... Having another spirit enhancer that he can trust... its really tempting... he thought about to just lied and bring to Bali, but it will not be fair to her. Alex gives her a list of a few Singaporean names that she can depend on just as a precaution. But she should not trust them completely. A desperate situation can change people.

All this thing is too much for her, Alex wishes to stay longer and have some more normal conversation, but he can't... he's already a completely a different person now. Alex wishes her well and went away with Aria...

Aria rarely spoke a word but this time she said

"Why haven't you give me one of the spirit stone?"

.

.

.

"I don't think one stone will have any effect on you"

.

.

"give me two then.. or three"
