The Civilian: Resurgence
Chapter 47

The attack on that day produced remarkable results. Wikar's name is starting to rise everywhere. He became the most wanted man now. Either by the government, or by the people. General Hidi, knowing that Wikar's influence was becoming more dangerous, began to deploy troops all over the place to search for the whereabouts of Wikar and his army.

So did President Jacob, who continued to demand that General Hidi immediately arrest Wikar and kill him. Because if Wikar dies, then the spirit of his army will fade. And President Jacob can return to life in peace and quiet. Everyone he can subdue. But it's not an easy thing.

President Jacob spent not only time thinking, but resources. He tried to seek help to neighboring countries, arguing that his country was being hit by radicalism. But no country wants to help. They mocked President Jacob, because they thought it was something President Jacob deserved.

In the end, President Jacob must accept the fact that he must fight alone, without the support of other countries. He had to start thinking hard about how to destroy Wikar and all his followers. President Jacob could no longer expect any more help from anyone. Now, the only person he trusted to clear up this matter was General Hidi and his entire army.

His dreams of becoming a ruler have now been dashed. He can only stand by his circumstances. And run to a safe place. It's not just here that he's facing problems. Now, there are also many soldiers who join Wikar. They were all soldiers who never earned their rights as a soldier. They're not paid. Their families were arrested and killed.

This opportunity was used by Wikar to create a strong and brave army. The former soldiers who joined him were obliged to train everyone. In fighting or shooting. At first many people refused, because the public thought that all soldiers were the same. Wikar tries to give understanding to all of them.

Although it is quite difficult because the community already hates the soldiers, but eventually they also want to receive advice from Wikar. Because after all the soldiers they could use to train them. Also to increase the amount of power that exists today.

"We have to be careful Wikar. Those soldiers could have been secret agents sent to keep an eye on us" Loah told Wikar.

"I've prepared everything, if there's a traitor in this place."

"What have you planned?" ask Loah curiously.

"I'm enough to know that." replied Wikar.

Although Wikar believed that Loah could not have betrayed him, Wikar still had to be careful. Because anyone can be anything. Faithful people can betray. Friends can be opponents. Especially with a chaotic situation like this. People are willing to bet their lives on just a piece of bread and a bottle of drink.

In a war situation, hunger can turn a person into ferocious and violent. People will do anything to get their stomach stuck. Even Wikar had seen an old woman eating her own granddaughter. It was so disgusting and inhumane.

Wikar also suspects that there are cannibals in his group. Because Wikar saw the suspicious behavior of some of his troops. They seemed to be a plot of hunters, and pretended not to know each other to avoid suspicion. At his new headquarters, Wikar begins to recount an experience when he sees an old woman eating the flesh of her own grandson.

It turned out that it was the soldiers who had come with their commander. Their numbers are quite a lot. Fortunately, everything has been prepared by Wikar before. So that when the soldiers break through the fence, Wikar and his army can repel the soldiers. Those who live are left to tell what happened to their friends.

"Why did the commander let them go?" ask one of the Wikars to him.

"I want to pose a threat to President Jacob. If they all die, then there is not a single person who can prove our existence. I want everyone to know. If a lot of people know, then many will join us." replied Wikar.

"Is that harmless commander? That would make the soldiers even more violent" Loah said.

"That's exactly what I want. They're all hot guys. Especially President Jacob. He might send more troops. But no matter how many troops he sends to kill us, he won't succeed without a strategy. And you've seen the evidence. With a limited number at this base, we were able to repel those soldiers" Wikar told them.

"Well! We've all seen him commander. But it would be nice if we make changes in this place. Judging from the structure of the building, this place is very suitable if we make a large headquarters" said one old grandfather who looks still dashing like a young man.

His name is Jason. He was a veteran, who later became an architect. He is very experienced and expert in the field of development. He had also renovated the state palace with his team. But now he was alone as all his team members had been killed as a result of this riot.

"We'll all help you Jason. At once you can teach everyone how to design a building" Loah said.

"I can't believe that an old man like me is still needed" he said.

Everyone laughed at Jason's words. Because judging from his wrinkled face, Jason should have lived peacefully happily with his family, not participate in this war. But Jason is a nationalist, just like Wikar. He is not willing if his country is ruffled by irresponsible people.

He also wants to avenge the death of his family and friends. Despite his advanced age, his hearing and vision are still very good. Jason is also very experienced in using all weapons. Not only that, he also knew in detail the weaknesses and strengths of each weapon.

But the advantages he had were never appreciated at all by the government. Even you could say Jason's life is very difficult and enough.
