Iqbal walked back towards his comrades, leaving the group alone as they went back to the town. The combined force of 700 is now split into two, as the first half checking for any undead left behind and the other half went back to the camp. Iqbal of course went back to his camp.

Iqbal went back to his place and laid down on the ground, he wasn't exhausted, but bored. He reaches out for his phone, as it then shows that he got a mail from his sister, Alisa.

The reception on this island is decent, as Gajah Mada just upgraded their tower station as well the placement of tower stations in conquered lands of Falmart. But before he could open it, he was approached by none other than Supriyadi.

"Bro, get up." Said Supriyadi.

"What up mate? Need help or something?" Asked Iqbal.

"Not exactly, but you might want to see this. It might interest you." Said Supriyadi.

"What is it?" Asked Iqbal as he stood up.

"I've sent someone to search the area, and in their search, they found something strange." Said Supriyadi.

"Yeah? You got to be more specific, there are tons of weird shit going on in this island." Said Iqbal.

The two began to walk away from their original place, as Supriyadi continue explaining.

"They encountered a strange group of people, they were in the forest where the dead horde appeared. Our recon boys put on an attempt to intercept and interrogate the strange group of people, but they fought back. 2 of them were captured, a man and a woman. But unfortunately, the rest escaped." Said Supriyadi.

"So? Maybe they're bandits that just so happens to be right in front of the dead." Iqbal responded.

"That's what I thought too until they told me that the strange group attacked them with some sort of dark magic. The recon unit is unharmed, but the magic they possess is dangerous." Supriyadi continued.

"So, you think they have anything to do with the undead horde?" Asked Iqbal.

"Possibly, they wore clothing like that of a medieval cultist. It strengthens the idea that they are somehow connected with the walking dead." Said Supriyadi.

"So, where are they now?" Asked Iqbal.

"In the reserved tent that we use earlier. We haven't got anything from them yet, they haven't spoken a thing since they were captured." Supriyadi replied.

"What, you want me to interrogate them?" Asked Iqbal.

"Yes, three of us will. Abimanyu is waiting for us there." Said Supriyadi.

The two eventually arrived at the said tent, and by the time they were inside, the two prisoners were already bloodied and bruised. It appears that his comrades there already tried to interrogate them.

"What is the status, Abimanyu?" Asked Supriyadi.

"They won't talk a single thing, the boys already tried by beating them hard. Not a single word coming from them." Said Abimanyu.

"Is it now? Say, can you fetch me a towel and three jerry cans of water?" Asked Supriyadi.

"Wait, you're going..." Said Abimanyu surprised.

Supriyadi answered the incoming question with a simple nod, as Abimanyu understood and immediately left the tent. In just a short time, Abimanyu came back with the jerry cans and a towel.

"So, Iqbal. Which one first?" Asked Supriyadi.

"The woman. In the meantime, we'll play some Russian Roulette with the man." Said Iqbal.
