Not more than 20 minutes ago they were still having fun at a wedding. But now, there they lay on the cold ground mutilated almost beyond recognition. The corpse of the woman wearing a white wedding dress was now drenched with blood while hugging the head of the man she just married. Around her were dozens more corpses that were severely disfigured.

Amongst the pile of corpses, Alex recognized Ark and Dinda, the two new spirit enhancers among these corpses.  The twins, who were quite close to them, saw their corpses and immediately threw up. They couldn't handle that horrible sight.

The scene in this place made Alex remember the massacres in his previous life. Even though he was accustomed to seeing corpses like this, his heartbeat raced as he hurriedly ran towards the sound of the fight. It sounds no more than 200 meters. But that distance somehow felt so far away

"!!!"

In the middle of the journey, a figure of a bloodied man leaned on the wall of a house. Alex easily recognized the large figure and immediately approached him. 

"Raufgar! Raufgar!"

The big man was losing consciousness. Blood was flowing from the top of his head and soaked his entire face. He was dying.  Raufgar felt a presence approaching him. He tried hard to talk. 

"Please... please... mama... my mom..."

Even though he was suffering, Raufgar was still worrying about his mother who would be abandoned.

Alex immediately summoned a panacea serum and injected it on Raufgar's body.  

Alex didn't dare to tarry long and asked Darius, who was also heavily injured, to stay with Raufgar. Alex and the others then left in a hurry.

A few moments later, the group arrived in front of a multi-story building. Alex was about to head in but a figure ran out. 

"Daisy!"

Daisy was also injured while carrying the unconscious Tommy on her back. She anxiously looked at the newly arrived group of fighters. 

"We need to run! This monster... this monster. It's different!"

Alex immediately checked Tommy's condition. Fortunately, it looks like Tommy just fainted.

"Daisy! Where are Theo and Cindy? Where?"

Daisy looked at one of the third-floor windows behind her and said, "They're—"

An explosion unexpectedly crashed behind the third floor's window as two bodies flew out.

"!!!"

Nathanael, who could run the fastest, immediately catched one of the figures. A blond woman, it was Cindy.

While Alex approached another figure at once. It was a man whose entire body was covered with blood and burns. Alex knew this person extremely well. "Theo!"

Alex, in a flash, gave Theo a panacea serum and right away inspected Theo's pulse. 

Although Cindy was covered with wounds, she didn't look as ragged as Theo. She quickly ran to Theo, who was shaking violently, as blood permeated his clothes.

Cindy was panicking. Even though this woman liked to joke around a lot, her real, deepest emotions were unraveling. For the past three months, Theo was the person she most often teased.  She screamed at the top of her lungs. 


"Theo!!! Stupid man!!! Why did you act like a hero huh?!" 

Her throat hurt, but she kept on calling for him. 

"Stupid man! Theo! WAKE UP!"

Cindy looked at Alex, who was checking Theo's pulse. But then, he let go of his grip and stood quietly silent with a grim face. 

Cindy shouted again. "Alex!!!"

Alex couldn't say it, no... he didn't want to say it. He could only shake his head. The serum did not save Theo... Theo was dead....

Everyone watched Theo breathe out his last breath. Theo had always been a friend to all of them. His death weighed heavy for each and every one of them.

But they didn't have the time to mourn as they thought of the thing that killed him. They then felt an intense pressure as if something was choking them. The five mutated bears became restless when a figure jumped down from the building.

A pale white humanoid figure, not much bigger than an average human, stood before them. His blood red eyes looked directly at Alex.

Stage four zombie!

Alex had survived Doomsday for more than 10 years. He knew all of the upcoming monsters that would challenge humanity in the next 10 years. The doomsday disease kickstarted evolution for all living beings. As for the 80 percent of people who didn't get past the plague, they all died but rose again becoming zombies. This zombie was the result of evolution. 

Stage one zombies were ordinary zombies who had the same power as ordinary humans. The next evolution was the second stage zombies who had experienced forceful physical mutation that ripped the muscles breaking the outer skin making their entire bodies appear red. It also affected other parts of the body such as the finger nails becoming a claw, teeths becoming sharp. Stage two zombies mutated to have the power and speed of peak stage mortal realm.

In a few months time, this second stage zombie will enter the next evolution. Like a metamorphosing butterfly, an evolving second stage zombie will start an incubation period for several days inside a cocoon. The monster that will come out of the cocoon becomes a giant full of physical strength that exceeded the mortal realm's limit. This black monster was what prompted humans to seek protection and help of the Doomsday Pillar.

The black zombies were supposed to be the main threat in the first year of Doomsday, before the presence of new threats from underground. 

As for its next evolution, there had been no records of stage four zombie sightings in the first year. The earliest Alex had heard of this white monster appeared was in the 13th month of Doomsday in one of the cities in Europe.

This stage four zombie couldn't compare in size with the third stage. The black liquid that had once flowed all over its body had been condensed and absorbed in every cell in its new body. This type of zombie didn't look bulky but instead appeared to be very thin with white skin.

Although this monster wasn't much stronger and faster than stage three, its biggest threat was its high intellectual capabilities and its ability to control all other zombies. As for the fifth and final stage of zombie, the final zombie evolution. No fighter under the sky realm could ever defeat it.

Once the third year arrived, there would be no more stage one zombies in the whole world. The stage two zombies would be the average troops, stage three zombies were the elite troops, stage four zombies were the chief of troops and stage five zombies were considered as generals.

Alex couldn't think of a reason why a stage four zombie would have appeared already. Especially more so on this island of Bali. Alex had already suspected this existence after hearing the surveillance report from Aria. 

Although the appearance of a stage four zombie was very worrisome for Alex, he knew killing these zombies was something not impossible. Stage four zombies could make a horde far more sinister, but when alone, the strength of a stage four zombie was only comparable to a peak stage earth realm, comparable to the power of the stone golem, which is why Alex immediately summoned the golem.

Alex had no idea how this zombie could stage an ambush at night. Even to be able to find Alex's exact position, this mystery kept running in his mind.

Alex glared at the white creature in front of him with hatred. He wanted to rush in and vent his anger. But Alex had often faced this stage four zombie before and understood he shouldn't be careless. Or else, more fighters will die.

This white monster kept staring in silence.

"Daisy." With just one word, Daisy knew what Alex needed.

Daisy immediately checked the surroundings. "There are no other zombies within a 1 kilometer radius."

Hearing this, Alex couldn't help but get more worried. In his previous life, these stage four zombies always took shelter behind dozens of black zombies. What was this creature's planning?

Alex needed to be more careful. He asked Arief and Nathanael to join the fight with him and the golem. Rama, the bear squads and the others stand behind, protecting the wounded fighters.

The white monster smiled with satisfaction.. It appears to lure Alex and the others to attack.

Alex shouted 

"Attack!!!"
