The Civilian: Resurgence
Chapter 7

Slowly Wikar began to devise new plans for Ando and his team. Many agree that Ando is better put into their group. But Wikar is not sure about it. Because Ando is the hardest person to fight. He still wants to know more about Ando and his army.

"As far as I know, Ando used to get into elite government units. But the group was disbanded, as Ando failed to carry out his mission. After that, the mission was taken over by another army. Now, he ends up in this place" Wikar told friends.

"He's very experienced in long-range combat, he's a sniper. And he's an expert at using all weapons. But he has one weakness, he can't run too long. Because his leg was once pierced by a sword, while he was on his last mission" he said.

"I want to watch him first. We need more than just regrets. Even though they have seen the truth. But I'm not sure if they'll like it, if they join us."

"Better, we'll see how strongly they hold out, commander" said one of them.

"Right, and we also have to see what will happen to them after this" Ando said.

They all nodded, they understood what they should do to the new person. They will test the physical and mental Ando, along with his army. Starting from giving a very small amount of food and drink, to giving classical music, which can affect the mental they all.

Who can control themselves, then can survive this test, and will come out as part of the Wikar group. If it fails, then the odds are only one. They went crazy, then killed each other.

They began to put dozens of bottles of drink, as well as dozens of canned food. Then they were forced to hang on to all that supplies within two weeks. In fact, the number is only enough for two people, if they have to survive within two weeks.

But what can be done, there is no other way, other than having to follow this game. Ando and his team have been trying hard, so that Wikar gives them tolerance. Because Ando promised to join him. And defend Wikar in full, to make amends for all the wrongs he's done.

But Wikar is also not a person who is easily influenced by speech alone. He wanted to see, to what extent the ability of Ando and his troops to face every problem.

Through a voice channel in the room, Wikar began giving directions to Ando and his four friends, so they follow the step by step that Wikar conveyed.

"You have seen that I have given wisdom to all of you, by not killing you. And if you want to join us, it's not that difficult. Do what I tell you, if you want to live, and join us. You must protect and share with each other, in any situation. If you can survive this stage, then you no longer need to pass another test" Wikar told them all.

Wikar again gave the instructions,

"Now I have prepared twenty cans of food, and twenty bottles of drink. Each of you gets four bottles of drink and four cans of food. And you're gonna have to make all those supplies in two weeks' time."

"Eat if you are really hungry. And drink when you're really thirsty."

After that, Wikar left them all, but the lights of the room were still on. Wikar simply ordered his troops to check their situation through a cctv attached to the room.

On the first day, everything was fine. Nothing is strange. Everything's under control.

On the second day, they start to get bored. And they try to do things to get rid of their boredom.

Food and beverage supplies are running low. In fact, it's still less than three days. There were four cans of food and four bottles of drink. They are not used to it at all. Because in the days before, they ate and drank too much.

Both members of Ando's army, stressed by this kind of situation, began to plan something. When they both found out that the food and drink supply was running out, they devised a plan to seize all the food and drink available.

And to get all the supplies, the only way is to kill Tony, Ando, and Ryan. Furthermore, the two of them only needed to divide the food and drink rations easily. Everyone will get two pairs of food and drink.

But it was impossible if they could kill those three people. Because their ability and guts are too sharp to do such a thing. However, thirst and hunger had already blinded their hearts.

With a small knife, they tried to attack Ando who was in deep sleep with Tony and Ryan. Fortunately, the incident was stopped by a very loud alarm sound, making the three of them wake up and survive the assassination attempt carried out by their two members.

Ryan who woke up first, as soon as possible closed both ears. They all screamed in pain. The knife held by the two people was thrown very far away. No one among the three realized that the three of them should be dead.

If no Wikar members had watched them for twenty-four hours, they would have been killed by their own friends.

At that time, they immediately reported to Wikar.

"What are you guys doing? Why are you sounding the alarm?" ask Wikar to his members.

Then they showed Wikar evidence of the cctv footage. Seen on the cctv tape, if the two men are sneaking around and slowly trying to stab Ando, Tony, and Ryan.

"We got the three out of there. Let the two men be my business" Wikar said.

"Ready!"

Wikar later released Ando and his two loyal friends. While the two people who tried to kill Ando, left to remain cooped up in that place.

"Why did you just get the three of us out?" ask Ando.

Wikar showed evidence of the cctv to the three of them.

"Look! Now that you know, this is one reason we don't like soldiers like you. When you're hungry, you'll be savage and out of control" Wikar replied.

Ando did not suspect the two men at all. As he looked, those two people were just ordinary troops, which was impossible to do such a thing. But in fact, all Ando's estimates are wrong. Only because they were hungry and thirsty did they become savages. They are even worse than a dog.
