170 First Day

8:00 a.m.

First Day of the Clearing Battle in Bali city began. a Code firecrackers were fired in the air.

The seven regiments of elite troops in each respective 1000 troops moved forward and entered into the yellow zone and began to jointly attack from 7 northern sides of Denpasar city.

The seven regiment leaders of 1000 elite troops and special forces were Arief, Donny, Dario, Sandi, Winter, Nathanael, and Jerry. All of its troops were peak mortal realm fighters. And almost all of them already have had experience in warfare. More than 7,000 troops all had the power to lift chunks of cars weighing 500 kilograms, jump as high as 5 meters, and run 100 meters in 5 seconds. They also had good stamina to fight continuously for more than an hour.

Currently 7 locations were filled with battles, gunfire, machete slashes, and exploding grenades. The condition of the yellow zone which stretched along 30 kilometers with an area of ​​nearly 30,000 hectares was crammed with houses and high rise buildings. If these soldiers are not careful, they could find themselves trapped inside a house or building filled with zombies. A peak stage of realm mortal was no much stronger than level-two red zombies. Without weapons, tactics or special techniques, this elite force can lose its life.

08:30 a.m.

This was the appointed time to retreat to the second line defense in which the first division was on alert. For those who have faced up to tens of thousands of zombies, they were able to immediately return first. But at this appointed time, no matter how many zombies they found, they had to bring them back to the second defensive line. This was certainly to maintain ranks so that no hordes of zombies can attack from behind. All of these peak realm mortal fighters only needed less than 5 minutes to join the ranks behind them.

Command center

Not far behind these 7 troops on a hill in the middle of the forest, positioned about 5 kilometers behind the third line, a large tent was prepared.

From this hill, several regiments were able to be slightly seen at the battle. But accurate condition data was certainly obtained from scouts in the field and was provided via handheld radio.

In the middle of the room, a table with a map of Bali island covering the entire table has been installed. On the map, there were many carvings of green army troops and green monsters as commonly used by board games.

The number and position of the troops were now assigned according to the incoming report via the radio and the little green carvings was also position along with it. The current battle situation was pictured on the table. The data was very useful for the people currently in the room, Farell, Rama, Alex, Aria.and few of the helping staff.

"Arief's regiment forces managed to pull one zombie horde into the second line. The horde target was trapped between two hills. And the second-line troop managed to ambush gracefully."

Farrell the tactician was explaining the situation of the map while moving the carving according to the report.

"What about Regiment 2, Donny's troops?" Alex asked,

"They are pulling in too many zombies ... at this time the second-like troops of the 2nd regiment looked quite overwhelmed."

The number of monsters represented the number of monsters in tens of thousands. Every 1 green carving signified 10,000 thousand zombies. According to the data provided by the scouts, 1 to 3 carvings approached each of the 7 regiments. While 5 carvings meant there were more than 50,000 zombies who moved forward to attack Regiment 2. Farell did not think too long and directly set the order.

"The regiment 2 battalion reserve troops can immediately go forward to help!!"

In all second line defense, the 10,000 first division troops were divided into 10 battalions. While 5 battalions guarded the front and 5 battalions became reserve troops. The goal was definitely to keep the line in check. In such a way, the troops guarding the row will always stand in fit condition throughout the fight. Thirty minutes later the reports indicated that the second line of Donny's regiment troops were in normal condition.

9:45 a.m.

Conditions in all 7 locations have begun to improve. The first wave of the zombies attack had begun to thin out.

"Everyone is ready for the next round."

As instructed, the elite troops moved back into the yellow zone. While the 2nd line troops can begin to change their positions with the troops reserve. The trap was re-prepared, piles of disturbing zombie corpses were removed. Spirit stones were collected and all weapons amunition began to be refilled. The whole regiment was ready to wait for the next attack ….

10:30 a.m.

The second firecracker was fired. It was a sign that a second attack was about to begin ... 7 groups of elite troops pulled back one wave of the next hordes. The sound of gunfire and explosions resounded in the yellow zone area. From this hill, Alex was able to see the explosive smoke fill the sky of Denpasar city.

11:00 a.m.

Elite troops retreated to pull in a new wave. The scouts provided information and green carvings were quickly deployed to 7 locations. Each regimen was ready with their respective traps.

The Sandi regiment forces have prepared a pit filled with gasoline. When a horde of zombies entered this area, fire was ignited and its fierce flames instantly covered the pit and burnt hundreds of zombies in it.

Winter regiments, with help of the American troops in the jungle area prepared holes filled with spiky woods, so when the elite troops safely passed by, hundreds of zombies behind them fell into the pit and immediately the fire burnt their bodies like satay sticks.

Dario's regiment troops were positioned near the rice fields. They prepared mud traps. When thousands of zombies entered this area, their movement became totally restraints. Dario easily shot and stabbed zombies that came out of the fields with spears one by one.

1:00 p.m.

The situation has abated again when all of them took a 30-minute break while cleaning up zombie corpses. They kept the ranks closed and sent the wounded to the back row.

"What is the current status?" Alex asked.

"There are dozens of victims who were seriously injured or critically dead, and hundreds of those who were slightly injured ... But victim data is not a priority at this time so it is still inaccurate. The good news is there are no ranks of defense that has broken, at this time the second division troops who are guarding the third line have not had time to take action yet."

"It is good that they don't even have to go down at the battle, it's alright."

The 70,000 second division troops were divided into 7 locations, many who were still in the middle stage of the mortal realm, many also had no experience killing zombies before. If they came to fight, Alex was worried that the victims were going to increase significantly.

A jeep came to this command room. A woman came into the tent. That woman was Devita, Alex's wife. She approached Alex with a basket.

"You have not eaten since this morning, I brought along some sandwiches for lunch ... I also have some extra for all of you."

Farel was paying full attention right now and was still busy listening to the radio signal. Devita did not want to disturb him. Rama the pencak silat master was like an uncle to Tiffany and Tiarra, she was close enough to Alex's family. She accepted Devita's offer without hesitation ... A loaf of bread was also shared with Aria ... Aria received it without saying much.

"..."

Alex joined in and ate the sandwich slowly ... Actually, since the last 4 days Alex had no appetite. He had a bad feeling about this operation. This fight was delayed by up to 2 days due to the additional preparations that Alex prepared. But the longer he waited, he felt the conditions would be even more dangerous.

Not long after round three began, Alex immediately refocused on the provided information ... After a few minutes, an emergency report came in ….

"Report! Black zombie in sight ... I repeat, black zombie in sight."

"!!"

"In which position? How many?"

"Karambit Area, first regiment position, location of colonel Arief ... there is one black zombie."

Hearing the black zombie, Alex and Farell immediately looked at Rama.

"Ok. Ready ...!" Rama loudly responded and immediately took his iron spear out of the tent ... four pencak silat masters with mutated bears were ready to wait in front ... These five people immediately rushed to the location.

Alex was actually quite sure that Arief's special forces would have no trouble fighting the black zombie. But Alex did not want to take the risk, with this Arief can focus more on carrying out the regiment strategy.

Seeing Rama went fast riding the mutated bear, Alex felt that he also wanted to go forward to the front row ….

Devita was able to understand what Alex was thinking, then she realized that Aria was still staying in this place too .. Devita asked,

"You are not going with them?"

"No."

"Hmm…you are an experienced soldier,  I wonder why you don't hold units or troops?"

"I'm here protecting Alex."

As usual, Aria's answer was brief and concise .. Aria's indifferent attitude made Devita a little upset.

"I think Alex is already strong enough. He can take care of himself."

Aria turned to see Devita and with a serious look answered,

"Alex will definitely not be far from the most dangerous threat. He won't stand still. That's why I'm here."

"..."
