SURVIVORS
Chaptre 140. Wild Big Cat
It was still dawn, Dean had woken up and replaced Alan on guard.
"You go to sleep." Colek Dean who saw Alan sitting while sleepy. His head almost touched the surface of the table.
"Ah, are you awake?" He asked half sleepy.
"Sleep there. Before I change my mind." Said Dean.
Alan walked towards the room. Dean shook his head looking at his behavior. Alan, who used to be known in the snow forest, is quiet, preferring to work rather than talk. Very calm. It seems that Z-style changed Alan's behavior. He became more silly, childish but still full of responsibility.
Dean started the day with a light workout running around the cottage fence. Check the water for the bathroom. Clean the leaves that litter the page. Then hoard it in a hole in the back of the cottage.
When Dean returns, Nastiti is awake.
"Where are you from?" Ask Nastiti while yawning.
"Loading the trash of leaves." Dean went to the bathroom to clean himself up.
"Dean, don't be long. I'm keblet." Yeah." Shouted Widuri.
"Just get in." Dean's Law.
"Don't joke. Spots." Sergeah Widuri. The door to the bathroom from the outside.
Dean opened the door, but didn't move from his place. Widuri is very keki.
"Awas. Ahhh. I can't take it anymore.." Dean's hand was pulled Widuri out. Dean didn't fight. He just wants to flirt.
Widuri slammed the bathroom door before Dean came back to disturb her.
"Are you okay?" Dean asked worried.
"Stay away!" Shouted Widuri.
"Eh, don't forget the water storage." Shouted Widuri again.
"Why him?" Dean asked Nastiti.
"So he said stomach pain." Marianne.
"Is there an herb for stomach pain?" Ask Dean.
"I'll make turmeric tea and ginger tea for him." Marianne.
"Thank you Marianne." Dean Said.
Dean's headed for the room. He woke Michael up. Sunil's body did not show any development. It had been 3 days and he was only given to drink perennial water or diluted porridge with meat broth. This can't drag on. Later he had to find a healer for Sunil.
"Michael, I'm gonna go check on you for a second. You're the one who's gonna take care of the ladies." Said Dean.
"Alan?" Michael asked as he glanced at the sleeping Alan.
"Let him sleep. Wake up at breakfast." Said Dean.
"All right." Michael got up from his seat and left the room. He did a little stretching to repel the feeling of laziness.
"Dean, the bathroom's running out." Widuri came out the bathroom with a fresh face and wet hair.
Dean swallowed his saliva. It was a natural beauty that he could not find in urban girls full of layers of powder.
"Hey, are you still here?" Widuri flicked her thumb with her middle finger in front of Dean's face.
"Ahh, what?" Ask Dean.
"Oh God.. You can daydream while standing. Ckckckckck.." Decak Widuri's.
"Get water for the bathroom." Widuri.
"Hhhh, Dean... There's no water here." Michael shouted from the bathroom.
"good. Just a minute." Dean said. He darted towards the cliff to fetch water from the sea.

"I'll go first." Dean bares.
"OKAY. Careful. Don't take too long. You haven't had breakfast." Widuri.
"Don't worry." Dean kissed Widuri.
Dean went up to the tops of the trees. Then it sped quickly towards the beach on the other side of the island that Alan saw yesterday afternoon. If you look at the position of the sunrise, then it is the South side.
Dean flew low after being convinced that it was the beach. The coastline from a height. Observe the environment around it carefully. There were no fishing boats at sea. Look for it behind the coconut tree if there are signs of its inhabitants. But 5 kilometers away, Dean saw no huts or just human footprints in the sand of the beach.
"I'm sure the city chief has been scouring the entire island since he was stranded 1000 years ago here. It was also impossible for Bi to remain silent without finding a way back to the center of the light city." Mumbled Dean.
"Why don't they just move here if there are dangerous creatures in the forest near their residence?" Dean was not thinking.
But Dean kept checking that coastline. He found and collected many shells and squid that were sunk by the sand of the beach. Dean tasted the sea water.
"Cure." Mumbled.
Dean felt weird. One side of the island is salt water, while the other side is fresh water. Dean looked out into the middle of the sea, looking for something that might be a clue.
Dean got up after feeling he no longer found anything on the beach. Dean kept some of his findings in the storage room. Some of it was cleaned on the beach.
Dean walked towards a coconut tree. Collecting the scattered coconut palms. Make it a seat. Then start the fire with dried coconut leaves and some dried midribs.
Dean floated to the top of the coconut tree, picking up some old and young fruits. Take out one small pottery container. With his finger he hollowed the coconut fruit and poured the water in the container.then put enough shells and squid into the container. Then boil it over the fire. Dean gave her the potluck she found in the storage room.
With ease Dean enjoyed his breakfast. Some squirrels seem interested in its presence. They approached carefully. Dean cut some old coconuts he had taken. Then gouged out some of the flesh. The coconuts were placed a little far away, hoping the tiny animals could come to enjoy breakfast like him.
The squirrels are approaching. Sniff for a while and scramble to take the coconut meat and put it in the mouth quickly and run away. Dean smiled at their funny behavior.
Dean had just stabbed a mature squid with the tip of his knife as the squirrels ran around in fear. Dean looked behind him. A big gray-haired cat with a white circle pattern and a black bottle in the middle was grinning towards him.
"What is this beast? The tiger? A tiger? Or lions? Smaller than an adult Tiger, but its color and pattern are almost leopard-like." Dean muttered vigilantly.
'Wild big cats are generally carnivores, right? Does he think I'm a victim?' Think Dean.
Quickly the squid at the end of the knife moved into his mouth. His attitude became alert by tightly grasping the knife. Dean got up from his seat and put up the horses. He won't fight with his fellow humans, but Dean is confident of being able to deal with wild animals. Dean has a foundation of martial arts, can sword, able to use various types of weapons and proficient archery. All that is preparation for working in a small world environment of agriculture and plantations that are often not free from wild and wild animals.
The big wild cat looked at Dean with a glare of sharp eyes. Dean now looked taller than him after getting up from his seat.
"Hey, big cat. I'm not bothering you here. Just take a break and enjoy breakfast." Said Dean.
The beast stared at him for a moment then blinked. He turned around Dean without taking a look. Dean also twisted the body without losing vigilance.
"What kind of cat are you? Are you here because you're interested in the smell of my cooking? You want?" Dean spoke for himself.
Reversed the pottery bowl over the pot. The water immediately put out the fire. Some of it spilled over the ashes. The rest is left in the mouth of the bowl, blowing hot smoke into the air. A fragrant aroma wafted through the wind everywhere. The huge beast turned its gaze toward the furnace which was still reflecting hot smoke. He walked closer while sniffing.
"Are you hungry? Are the game animals here also missing?" Although there was no way to get an answer, Dean asked.
"I'll get you a moment. But we're friends.. I'll give you some food if we're friends."
Dean approached the slanted bowl. There is the rest of the bowl on the coconut leaves that become the seat. With a coconut lid pierced a piece of squid meat, blowing it to make it cooler. Then it is extended to a large wild cat that looks interested and walks closer.
"here. You look skinny. You must be hungry. How long haven't you been eating?" Dean tried to be gentle so the cat wouldn't be afraid anymore.
The big cat is now near Dean. His eyes moved from Dean toward the squid-piercing lidi. Dean blew it once again. Trying to feel the temperature with your fingertips.
"It's warm. Try tasting my cooking. If it's good, don't forget to praise me to your friends.."
Dean brought the lidi closer to the big cat's mouth. The beast kissed for a while before opening its mouth. And. the meat of the squid disappeared along with a little bit of a broken lid. Dean was surprised to see it.
"Hey, you can lidi's come back if you swallow her. Eject. That's dangerous." Dean hugged the body of a wild cat that was about 1 meter in size. The big cat was shocked and conflicted.
"Hey, spit. You'll choke. It's a lidi, not meat!"
Dean was drunk and tried to open the cat's mouth. They struggled for a moment because the beast refused to open its mouth. There was a little bit of struggle in that place. Sand and leaves flew out interspersed with the sound of Dean's roars and worried tirades. But in Dean's pit, the skinny beast finally lost. He's lying in the sand over Dean with his mouth open. Dean checked his mouth. The meat of the squid has disappeared.
"Can you swallow it?" Dean stared in disbelief.
"Is your stomach unharmed working a lidi?" Don't blame me if your stomach hurts.."
Dean released his fishing line on the animal. He returned to his seat again. Taken by hand a few pieces of squid meat. Blow it for a while and thrust into the mouth of the animal who is now sitting quietly nearby. The beast ate every piece Dean thrust.
"Do you have any family here? Are they hungry too? Call them here let me find you some more food at sea." Dean said as he stroked the soft fur of the beast.
The beast sat quietly beside Dean, letting him continue rubbing his back and head.
"What should I call you? You're like a tutul, but different. If I call you a cat, but your body is too big. What kind of you are you? I've never seen anything like you at the zoo."
Dean just kept talking to himself. While the wild big cat was enjoying every elusan on his back and head.
Dean took the big cat out to sea to swim. They were like two happy little children playing in the sea.
