SURVIVORS
Chapters 111. Time To Revenge's
Dean invites Michael, Sunil and Alan together. They were discussing in front of the cottage. Dean expressed his desire to avenge Duke's tyranny. Alan and Sunil agreed. They seem excited. Michael was again asked about the ins and outs of the Duke's residence, where the slaves were locked up, and so on.
Michael told me things he knew. He didn't know much about the details of the residence, as Michael and Marianne were slaves employed in the vineyard. Their place of confinement is not the same as the slaves who take care of the house and others.
Sunil, Alan and Dean took a serious look at the floor plan Michael had drawn on the ground. Alan was mangosteen while holding his chin.
"So, at the entrance of the garden there are 2 guards, near the place of confinement there are also 2 guards who alternate. In my opinion, there must be so many guards in his possession that he can be arbitrary," Alan said.
"Yes, there's a lot." Michael nodded.
"I've seen his armed guards training in the side yard while transporting the harvest of grapes to the storage area" Michael added.
"Practiced? Is he training soldiers? It's worth being arrogant." Sunil snorted sebal.
"What if he has soldiers? Even 100, I don't think it's your opponent." Dean's face looked fierce.
"Just calm. If it's only 100 people, I can deal with it too." Alan patted his chest and smiled mischievously.
"Well, so we'll go there tonight and make fireworks. You ready?" ask Dean.
"Ready."
Alan and Sunil answered quickly.
"Then, how am I?" ask Michael.
"You got your first guard turn, tonight. You take care of the women when we're not around. We'll pretend to sleep first so as not to be suspected by Nastiti and Widuri." Dean whispered in Michael's ear.
Michael smile. He nodded happily. "Good."
The four men were satisfied with the outcome of the conversation that afternoon. Then they do other activities. Alan taught Michael how to use a bow and arrow.
Dean continued his work making toilets and bathrooms. Just a little finishing again, then the women no longer have to go down to the sea if they want to shower or urinate.
Sunil helps burn waterways and septic tanks that Dean makes, so that the soil hardens and does not easily collapse.
Dean had made a toilet seat out of clay mixed with ashes from a burner in the furnace. A water bath from wood coated with pine sap so as not to leak, is also available.
"I'm done here" cried Sunil.
The septic hole seemed to be reflecting smoke as it was burned by the blue flames from Sunil's eyes.
"This one hasn't," pointed Dean at the other part of it.
"That's what?" ask Sunil.
"Septictank cover." replied Dean.
"okay."
Sunil immediately burned the clay Dean had formed into several slabs.
Dean lifted the wooden block he had made into a bathroom. The beam is carefully placed so that the water channel hole is right.
Michael who was learning archery became flabbergasted. His mouth was open and his eyes were wide open. How could anyone so easily lift a wooden log that was even wider than a bus so easily?
"If you learn it must be serious!" Alan snatched Michael.
"Ouch.. You see that.. Dean is lifting the log" Michael pointed.
"Why indeed? I can do that too. Who do you think helped Dean lift those wooden blocks to make that room?"
Alan with his nosiness, picked up Michael. Make her friend scream in fear.
"Aaaaaaa. put me down" cried Michael in panic.
"You see that. I can do it too" Alan said proudly.
"Yes, yes, you can" replied Michael.
"Your mess appears again, doesn't it? Put her down." Nastiti's voice sounded behind Alan.
"You okay?" ask Michael Widuri.
"It's okay. Just surprised," Michael replied awkwardly.
While they were noisier, Dean and Sunil were done with that bathroom.
"Woww, that's cool. Now we have another bathroom." Nastiti glee.
"Where's Dean coming from?" ask Michael.
"Ah, yes. Just a minute." Dean floated up and flew towards the cliff.
Shortly after, he returned. His hand was raised upwards. Michael looked up at Dean's hand. He was very surprised, as a large pool of water hovered over Dean's head.
With a gentle gesture, Dean pointed his finger towards the bathroom. Water slowly descends to the top of the bathroom.
"Try opening the tap lid on the water bath" Dean ordered.
Widuri went into the bathroom and pulled out the water tap cover. Water flows into the water.
"Did you build a water reservoir on top of that?" ask Michael to know.
"Yes. While we haven't found another water source, we'll use the sea water to bathe." Answer Dean.
"The water is full. The faucet is closed again" Widuri reported.
Dean nodded, then headed back towards the cliff. The shelter should always be fully occupied.

In the evening, Marianne's condition began to improve. He can walk with Nastiti or Widuri. Marianne's heart was happy to see the team members who looked very compact.
Waiting for the women to prepare dinner, Dean went back to work on something. He cut and connected pieces of wood.
"Marianne, this is a simple stick that might help you a little."
Dean handed Marianne a wide, four-legged cane.
"Thank you Dean. This is very nice. You're so talented." praise Marianne.
With a stick on her back, Marianne learned to walk. It was still a little difficult, as his body had yet to recover properly. But Marianne doesn't expect to be around the stick forever. He must be healthy again so as not to bother the other team members.
"Let's gather. Dinner is ready." Nastiti brought a large plate of bread.
"Dean, you have to make a table" Widuri reminded.
"good. Remind me tomorrow" Dean replied.
Under the gorgeous sky painting, they enjoyed a cheerful dinner. The jokes and the crackling laughter warmed the night that began to descend.
Women clean their bodies before going to bed. Marianne felt more refreshed and energized after a nice dinner and shower.
The three of them rested in the room. Still cool talking before drowsiness attacks.
Dean, Alan and Sunil, one by one go to rest in the room. Outside there was only Michael. To be honest he was afraid to stand guard outside, inside that dense forest. After all, he was just an ordinary human who did not possess unique abilities like Alan, Sunil and Dean.
"This lodge must be fenced in to be safe" murmured Michael.
After the women's rooms were quiet, Dean, Alan and Sunil went out one by one. Michael's shoulder was patted by Dean.
"We're leaving now" whispered Dean.
Michael nodded. " Be careful."
Dean, Alan and Sunil floated up slowly. After crossing the upper boundary of the trees, they immediately shot towards the port city. It's time to revenge.
