"I guess they aren't a lost cause," Ryan muttered. "Still, I think they need another push…"
Ryan came to the secret base with the idea of forcing these idiots to become truly desperate and then make them reach another level of strength. Until now, at least from Ryan's perspective, they have been trying to survive while relying on the customs of the old human society. That was working fairly well given that they had one thousand or so survivors that wouldn't run away even in a situation like that. However, it wasn't enough… they needed to become thirstier for power while also maintaining some aspects of their naivety. By fighting and overcoming that hardship, their teamwork will probably reach another level as well. Still, unless all of them at least see death in front of them a few times in a single day, they will never survive when the true hardships start to happen.
