Doomsday Pillars 128 Indonesian pillars

All of the people in the room paid attention to the large maps prepared by Alex.

"For me, the first priority is always the people. The country is not about the flags or the city walls But it's the people, there were 300 million-plus people living all over the country, there isn't even a million right now in this city. We need to save as many as possible. I think the first priority is to spread out, find and gather more survivors."

"Within these maps, I have marked in blue the safest location for all the survivors, this will be the place where we should gather all the survivors."

The five blue marks were located at Bali, West Sumatra, South Sulawesi, West New Guinea, and Bali and one just south of the New Java City. One of the old ministers curiously asked:

"Why there? What special about these 5 places?"

The five places were the location of the 5 doomsday pillar that will drop to this area. Alex thought about the first time he saw the doomsday pillars in his past life, at that time he was a much different person, he was both frightened and awed by the constructs that dropped from the sky. Alex realized he's unable to clearly explain the phenomenon of the pillar.

"On the 100th day after the Doomsday, that's 44 days from now, all over the world simultaneously 1008 constructs would drop from the sky. This objects called doomsday pillars have wonders that I could not explain, the technology is out of this world. The pillar could provide many things. Foods, shelter, weapons, protection, and most important is a way to advance all the human into the next realm. These doomsday pillars are humanity's only hope of survival."

Hearing this, even the smartest and the wisest people in the room turned to an uproar.

"That's... That's crazy!!"

"You are talking about extraterrestrial beings?"

Only a dozen people in this room have learned about the news from Alex previously, but even they still found it hard to accept. This news seemed like a story coming from sci-fi novels. Seeing the situation, Rico tried to calm the chaos.

"Calm down! Let's hear more."

Alex was not sure if giving too much information would be good for these people or not. But he had many plans prepared and he would probably have to leave these people for a long time. It's better to give them as much information now.

"This New Java City is only 10 kilometers away from the Java Pillars, I believe you have enough resources to connect the city and make the necessary preparations."

This city has 500.000 plus people, it has abundant supplies gathered from Semarang City and the supplies brought from Surabaya. There were also the Mutated Maduras Oxes ready to help rebuild the city. Alex believed they should be ready when the disasters come.

Alex's next information was the hundred black marks on the map. These marks spread all over the country. These black marks are the location of hidden relics sites just like the one Alex went to in Bali and Mexico city. When the pillars arrived, these hidden places will be accessible by everyone. The items found on these relic sites are very valuable. The stone golem is an excellent example.

"Please use this information accordingly."

Alex trusted the details to Rico, these hundred sites were like a hundred gold treasures chests, each person in this room would be lucky to access one of them. Alex believed Rico would divide the information accordingly. Hearing the news, the Regent and Rico were both excited about the prospects of having 100 of artifacts as valuable as the golem.

"I believe the supplies you currently have are more than enough to survive till the pillars come, if not you can always hunt for mutated animals. These mutated animals are useful to further increase the body physical strength. In the future, when humans reach a higher realm, our bodies require less sustenance for living."

These stories Alex kept describing were really hard to digest, but seeing the president or the regent going along with the story even as far as fully supporting this ordinary looking guy named Alex, the crowd could only follow.

Rico and the Regent stared at the map and saw the 5 pillar locations. They started calculating in their minds. 

"Alex... There will really be no pillars on Borneo Island? That's weird, it's such a large island. I wonder if the drop location is random or planned? If it was planned, who actually planned all this?"

Borneo is one of the largest islands of Indonesia, it does feel kinda strange. 

"Actually, there's a doomsday pillar in Borneo, but it's not located in Indonesia, it's on the other side of the border, within the Malaysian Borneo side."

"I see... Should the people of Borneo head to Malaysia then? What do you think?"

"I will leave that up to you, Mr. President."

Rico still felt uncomfortable hearing the title but he really is the new president and making a joke out of it would dishonor the title and the constitution.

Rico gave thought with the position of the map and said:

"I understand the Sumatra Pillars will be managed by you regent, I will handle the Java, and you will take the one in Bali, Alex?"

Alex already gave a lot of consideration about this plan and said:

"No..."

"!!! Then who will in charge of Bali?"

"I think James would be suitable to take that role."

Currently, many of the Surabaya citizens already move to Bali, so many know James already. James also brilliant in management he has the people and resources that could support him. Alex has seen how James works in his previous life. All eyes staring at James, waiting for confirmation, James gave a little thought and decided to accept the role

"I'll do it."

Rico and The regent didn't really object on James taking care of one pillar, but they wondered about what would Alex do?

"What about you? What about the other pillars?"

"For the one in Papua, currently three Bali divisions are heading towards that area."

Alex thought about Karra, the navy commander, Jerry, his first spirit enhancer, and the wolf divisions. Alex has many people he can count on in the east.

"Sulawesi Island should be easily reached from Bali, so James should be ideal to take care of that side. As for Borneo Island, as it could have lots of intrigue with Malaysia, I believe the commander in chief should take charge."

The regent had his army network all around the country, he gave the data about the military base on both Sulawesi and Borneo to Rico and James. He then waited for what Alex has planned for him.

"Regent, I really support your idea to start contacting our neighbors, I believe we should start sending people to Singapore and the other Asian countries."

Suddenly, one by one the huge map has been filled with more information. There's combined information on the commander, number of troops and survivors population. The group started dividing task to the army to spread all over the nation.

While filling out this information, Rico couldn't help remember about the other divisions led by his two colonels and also his son, Adam. Up until this day, there's no single information about them, Rico has sent a team to check their whereabouts.

Alex's placement seemed sound, but Alex still hasn't answered Rico's question.

"What about you, Alex, where are you heading?"

"I will go to Australia."
