The Civilian: Resurgence
Chapter 42

Three Years Later...

Time passes so fast. Slowly everything changed. People are no longer talking about the demo that has been declared a failure. In the previous three years, many people were victims. Many of them were captured by the soldiers.

And so is Lontro. He has lost everything. All his assets have been taken over by the government. His friends and family were also victims. They were all killed at the hands of President Jacob himself. While Lontro was left alive, and had to undergo painful torture in prison.

To him, being hit and stomped was already commonplace. The prison guards sadistically harassed and also tortured him endlessly. He also gets food rations only once every three days. His body began to weaken. He's old. Lontro, once feared and respected, has now turned into a slave.

How not? every day he had to clean the shoes of the entire prison warden with his own tongue. He also had to clean the entire floor of the prison with the prisoner's clothes that he wore every day. His hair was left to remain long, for him to really look like a lowly slave.

This was all a result of his previous resistance to President Jacob. Inside the holding room, Lontro stared at the walls and ceiling of the prison. He tried to keep control of himself, so that one day he could avenge all the actions of President Jacob on him.

And who would have thought? that the harsh treatment he received actually made Lontro stronger than before. Previously he had only been hiding behind the backs of his men, but now he had actually dared to challenge every single person who messed with him.

Lontro waited for the right time to fight the prison guards. He wanted to be near them, as close as possible. The prison alarm goes off, a sign that it's night. It is time for the prisoners to rest. But unlike Lontro, he only pretended to close his eyes. So that when the prison guards came to him, he could put up a fight.

Seen on surveillance cameras there was a commotion between the warden and the prisoners. This was completely unknown to the guards in the supervisory room, as the guard was asleep in his chair. The guards were beaten by the prisoners, they all managed to retrieve the keys and release the other prisoners.

Likewise with **Lontro**, when he realized there was a commotion, **Lontro** also immediately kicked the door of his detention room. Instantly the door was shattered and released from his skeleton. **Lontro** also took a gun lying on the floor. All the prisoners were shocked when they saw the door of the room holding **Lontro** shattered with a single kick.

They all stared at **Lontro**full of question marks. They were amazed at once. A prison door made of extremely hard iron, coupled with a very strong lock lock, could be destroyed just by a kick. This made all the prisoners swarm **Lontro** and shouted his name.

**Lontro** sees this as a good opportunity for him. He could recruit them all to become his men, replacing his dead men. **Lontro** ran into the guards' room and barged in, followed by hundreds of people behind.

"*Time for change*!" say **Lontro**.

It was responded by them by beating all the prison guards. Some of them also entered the weapon storage room. For the surviving warden will be detained and severely tortured. **Lontro**wants to use those guards to threaten **President****Jacob**.

This is done **Lontro** because it is already furious with **President***Jacob** which has always been the ruler in this country. At the time of the Presidential election, **President***Jacob** gave the order to **General*****Hidi*** to get rid of three rivals. So that it becomes a scary thing for influential people in this country.

Everyone is starting to get nervous. Now, people are afraid to get rich. Because they knew, if they had wealth, then their wealth would be forcibly taken away by the government. Most people would choose to be farmers.

Farmers will only focus on daily economic growth. And they are not too dizzy with money, especially about wealth. This country is really fucked up. Many journalists were killed for reporting criticism to **President***Jacob**. Anyone who challenges **President***Jacob** will be killed without exception.

"What are we gonna do? There is no media. We can't threaten President Jacob if they're just us holding up like this." one of the prisoners asked Lontro.

Then another one of them came with a former private television reporter. The man was thin and short, with a camera, laptop and mobile phone in the bag he was carrying.

"Call boss, I've prepared" said the former journalist.

"What's your name? And who is this guy?" lontro asked the prisoner, pointing to the former journalist with him.

"I'm Jim. He's my brother Liam. He's a former journalist. And now he's a hacker." Jim replied.

"Good Jim. And you're Liam, can you connect me to the President?"

"Of course the boss. Whatever you want." Liam replied.

"Why do you want to do this?"

"We have the same goal, which is to fight President Jacob. Why can't I help you?" said Liam.

Lontro answered nothing. He just smiled. It has given a meaning, if Lontro agrees Liam join his new group.

Still in the warden's uniform, Jim pretended to contact the center with a radio station at the prison. As it turned out, there was one of the guards who turned on the emergency button connected to the army post at the border.

The location of this prison is on a small island that is not too far from the mainland. Many ships also usually come to bring logistics for prison guards. And today is exactly the day where usually ships carrying logistics come to this place. Therefore, the prisoners must disguise themselves as prison guards to trick them.

Those who deliver logistics will only stop for a short time to lower all logistics from their ships. After that they will leave immediately. They'll be back next week. In the prison there are also several jetski that can be used by the guards if there is something urgent.

Jim was the first to use the jetski to escape prison and pick up Liam. Jim already knows what's going on outside the prison, because Jim and Liam never broke communication. Liam sees Jim out of jail almost every day.

So Jim knew where Liam was in the morning. And he was also convinced that Liam would see him every day. They planned this for a long time. It's just now that there's a good chance of getting it.
