07:00
At this time, most of the undead already awake and return to its basic instinct, ...to find something to eat. This undead might move a little slow but they have quite the strength to grab, pull and bite. Fighting zombie one on one might be easy, especially using a weapon. But for one human being surrounded by three, or ten, or consider an unending wave of tens of zombies, even high-rank mortal rank human will fall. The trick is to not get surrounded by keep moving or fight within groups. Also, try to make as little noise as possible as it will attract more zombies.
The morning sun already came, The last 8 hours more than 10.000 survivors came to this base. The survivors were separated into 3 categories. The fighters, the workers and the children and elders. There is nothing much the base can do to the elders and children at the moment. The workers divided by Devita, Tony and Jane depend on their skill; Administrator, Builder, and Farmer. The last one, the fighters were sent to Captain Donnie. As the situation is currently still in chaos all around Bali, these fighters are only given a few hours basic training, equip with weapons and right away send to a mission with Bayu.
Jerry and Rangga Unit successfully finish their 150 kilometers marathon in 8 hours. They have managed to inform and help dozens of villages along the shores. In the end, the group manages to recruits, one thousand men to help. With these numbers, Jerry and Rangga decided to continue to the West section. The West section has two main cities, the Gilimanuk on the north side with around 150.000 people, and Negara on the south side with 300.000 people. Rangga has special mission prepared by Alex beforehand, he went to Gilimanuk, a port city on the westernmost of Bali only separated by 2 kilometers strait to East Java. While Jerry went to the Negara. Each unit brings 500 volunteers to help. This time they went in fully armed.
Benny Group successfully cleared up all bodies in Antiga city. The road between Bay city to The main base is now safe. Lt Commander Karra Echo unit, on the other hand, was not so smooth. Unlike Benny, the commander doesn't really know the locals. In the end, Benny group came over to help her. It took them the whole 8 hours to cleared up Semarapura 100.000 plus bodies. When the dawn comes there were only a few zombies left. After recruiting more people, the group went to the next city. it is the Amarapura city with 350.000 population. The city located on the far east, to go there they need to pass the Bay city.

Surprisingly the fight has already reached the bay city. Lieutenant Russel Unit currently defending against hundreds of zombies attack.
Lieutenant Russel Navy commandos were startled by the sudden attack.. the city and villages on the east of Bay city didn't have the chance to be informed. The undead attack came from the east. Luckily the Villa covered the east side of the city. Its the first place that being attack, therefore the bay city locals were warned by the shootouts of the Charlie units.
"Lieutenant WTF is this..."
"That's what we are here for sergeant Joni, stay in formation.."
"!!!.. it's getting closer!!"
DRATATATATATATAT..
"Calm down sergeant!!"
Commander Karra and Benny reached the bay city in time.
Benny said, "They are under attack!! Commander, should we join the battle now?"
Lt Commander Karra startles looking at the zombies, she was stunned.
"Come on commander lets help them now"
They rushed in and join the attack... the situation finally under control...
She finally calm herself and said... "Stop using your gun unless it's necessary... use melee weapon instead, a gunshot will only draw more of them. Mr. Benny send every elder and children with the truck to the base while all other able-bodied man and women that can pick up a weapon, should join the fight "
.
The Battle of the Bay city finally start.
.
The battle in the south was on a very much larger scale. The whole South section divided into the North Denpasar city and the south is the Nusa Dua island. Both area connected in a narrow space. from up above geographically it shaped like an hourglass. On the north outer of Denpasar city itself located 6 smaller cities. Kerambitan, Tabanan, Mengwi, Abiensemal, Sukawati, and Gianyar. All of this 6 small cities, Denpasar Capital city, and Nusa Dua Island. totaled more than 3 million people.
10:00
When the zombies start to woke up.. all chaos breaks loose... casualties count start to increase. The spread out tactics was not effective anymore. Alex ordered all men to slowly retreat to the outer city.
Alex gathered all the leaders for a Tactical meeting. Lieutenant Aria, Captain Farell, Captain Adnan, Colonel Jaka, Major Sandi, Governer Agung, and Rama.

"It's good you are saved governer"
"Yes yes yes..." the governers seems still a little shock
"AARRRGGGHHHH one of that thing bite me.. will I become infected?"
"Don't worry Colonel Jaka its not infectious you'll be fine"
Alex starts the meeting.
Alex reminds them about the strength of the zombies and whats the best way to defeat them. He also explained to them about the red mutated zombies with greater speed and strength and also about the spirit stone.
"The current tactic was too slow. there are a million zombies in the city.. it would take too much time. We need a better tactic... The aim is to save as many people as possible with least casualty while preserving as much ammunition as possible."
Captain Farell as an intelligence officers came up with a brilliant strategy. First to create 6 posts on each 6 smaller cities. This 6 post will quarantine the zombie movement from Denpasar to many other areas north of it. This will also become a survivor post for those who were injured and also a pickup point to transfer all children and elders to the main base. The police, and the army. totaled 1800 people. The pencak silat society 1000 men and 5000 volunteers. Totaled 7800 men will be divided to guard the 6 posts. Each with 1600 men. This operation will be organized and led by Captain Farell and Colonel Jaka.
The main strategy called "The Bait" is too lure as many zombies as possible to one place and bombarded them with heavy weaponry. The allocated location is Bali Airport. Its place strategically on the narrow path between the Denpasar city and Nusa Dua island. The narrow path will make the best defensive stance. This location will not just lure the zombies from Denpasar. but also the one in Nusa Dua island too.
Eight APV were allocated for this strategy. Only APV would be safe enough to charge into millions of zombies. not included the red mutated one. Therefore 104 men were selected. This will be an extremely dangerous mission therefore, joining will be voluntary.
Groups of Deathsquad, Army Redbarret, Police Densus88, and Red Belt and white shash top Pencak silat disciples were gathered. None of them refuse.
Finally Aria with 30 Deathsquad. Captain Adnan and 20 of his Red Barret, Major Sandi and 20 of his Densus 88. Rama and 20 of pencak silat disciples. The rest are soldiers specialized in Operating the APV.
.
Someone starring at Alex with a big smile.. its Cindy.
"..."
"Nope!! you are definitely not coming"
12:00
Eight APV drove through the Denpasar city using eight separate route while making a very loud noise to attract the zombies
"WE ARE FROM THE ARMY... WE ARE LEADING THE UNDEAD TO THE SOUTH... ALL SURVIVOR IMMEDIATELY MOVE TO THE NEAREST SURVIVAL POST NORTH OF THE CITY... I REPEAT... WE ARE....."
DRRAATTATATATATAT...
.
Along the way. the APV firing up the machine guns to make noises and thin them up. bit by bit...
.
.
16:00
The APV arrived at the destination... hundred thousands of zombies behind them...
All 90 fighters jump out and getting into position.. one squad start planting C4 all around the airport. two squads went inside and cleaned up the zombie inside the terminal... but as Alex feared, on the second floor they found hundred of survivor hiding.
.
.
this could be tricky
.
.
"ALL UNIT, ITS SEEMS WE NEED TO HOLD UP FOR A FEW HOURS"
.
"I have sent for help... meanwhile let's give our guest a proper welcome"
.
"LIGHT THEM UP"

So What If I'm Trash? Who Needs Cultivation?!
Qing Shan Long. They say he isn't human. An escaped experiment from some government facility, a reincarnation of a saint, a freakish superhuman. Whatever he was one thing was clear. Be it Music, Martial Arts, Science, whatever he does he excels. He was a whimsical man. A great man. A man who craving for knowledge and excitement knows no bounds, whose collection of books and personal library would even make Alexander the Great green with envy. He donated to all manners of charities and funded many projects for helping the poor and disabled. A self made man who single handedly founded one of the largest corporations in the world, Wen Qu Technologies, whose influences reach from vast fields of expertise. From objects of war such as the newest aircrafts, droids, and body armor; to life saving medicine and vaccines; to even the mundane such as video games and the fast food industry. A legendary example of determination and hard work. He was in his car being driven to a business meeting to disclose a deal that would help ensure the country could have access to clean energy and help reduce the pollution that has been plaguing his homeland for the past millenia when he was assassinated and woke up in a strange new world. How will Qing Shan deal with his new environment where the strong suppresses the weak? From the top of the world he suddenly finds himself free falling to rock bottom. Unable to cultivate, a weak body, and all but disowned by his family. (For those who read comics and watch cartoons, imagine him as being Tony Stark, Richard Reeds, Jimmy Neutron, etc level of 'Genius'. ) My own spin on some familar tropes. Another reincarnation into another world story. The MC will take over the body of someone with a trash body that can't cultivate and will be hated and neglected by his family. Pretty typical so far right? Except there won't be some amazing miracle to heal our MC, there isn't some magical grandpa to teach him some OP thing which only his trash body can use, there isn't a hidden op bloodline, and he is not from a super amazing assassin clan or genius doctor. He isn't the chosen one, he's just a guy trying his best to make something with a crap situation. First attempt at a wuxia type story! I like playing with common tropes, maybe adding a twist, to playing it straight as a classic. I have absolutely no idea where this is going to take me but please do give your input and I'll do my best so that everyone has a say in where our journey will go. I'll admit the only knowledge I have of chinese history and ancient society is from reading light novels translated to english and some old dramas, so if I make some social passe just take it as because this is another world, not exactly an AU where magic and stuff actually exist. I'm also not actually Chinese and will basically using google to help me with names and other such, if I make a mistake please let me know! (Even if you don't like the story or couldn't bare to get past chapter 1 please leave a comment so I can find out where to improve, thank you!)
