SURVIVORS
Chapters 144. Finding a Physician for Sunil
Morning arrives.
After breakfast, Michael and Alan prepare for their respective missions. But they were calmer, because besides Michael, there was now Cloudy who also guarded the cottage.
Alan brought Nastiti who was feeling bored right in the cottage. While Dean brought Widuri to be introduced to the city chief. In the cottage there are only Michael, Marianne, Sunil and Cloudy.

"Uncle, aunt. You're comin. I want to go to the market today. You guys wanna come?" Sapa Yoshi at the door.
"No. We want to see your father." Answer Dean.
"Oh, I'm receiving guests. Go in first." Yoshi took two of his guests to the inner garden.
"Wait a minute here. I'll get you a drink first." Said Yoshi who immediately disappeared inside.
Widuri observed the garden. Pretty broad. The side of the wall is filled with colorful flower trees. Some are well-maintained. The white-colored star flowers filled the surface of the living fence that must have been regularly pruned.
Not far from a small gate on the stone wall, stood firmly a large tree. A wide-clothed servant was picking up something underneath. Something fell from the tree.
Widuri looked up at the tree. There were 2 people holding a pole, banging on branches and dropping something on the ground. He approached.
"What is this tree?" Ask me to know.
The waiter was surprised, not thinking there was an unknown person in the inner area. But before he asked, his eyes pounded on the figure of Dean who walked up.
"It's a mistress walnut tree." The waiter replied politely.
The servants were told that Dean was Yoshi's uncle, their Miss. Brother of his mother. Although they never saw their Miss's mother because she was long gone, they still had to respect Dean and his friends.
"Walnuts? That's a really good nut." Widuri's eyes twinkled. He looked up.
"Do you like walnuts?" Ask Dean.
"Isn't that delicious. Who doesn't like." Widuri Cibir.
"What else if mixed with melted chocolate and caramel. Yummyy."
Dean smiled at Widuri's mimic who imagined a delicious snack. How much Dean wanted to make that woman happy. He flew over the trees and collected quite a number of walnuts from the trees.
The servants were speechless seeing how Dean was flying agilely in search of the brownish old walnut fruits. He really is Miss Yoshi's uncle. They can both fly and float. They already knew that their mistress was from another world. His ability to fly was lowered on Yoshi. And all the servants of the house kept this family secret meeting. Now they could see for themselves their mistress brother had the same ability.
"Auntie, what are you doing?" Yoshi appeared carrying a tray of drinks.
"Your uncle got me walnuts. Can I?" Ask Widuri.
"That's a long process. I'll give you something that's clean. Uncle, down. Here's drink. I told Dad you were here." Yoshi yelled at Dean.
Dean floated down. The batch of beans he picked up floated down near his hand. The waiter below looked in amazement. The man did not need a container to store dried fruit.everything was left floating in the air.
"Give it to the waiter. Take home the one that's clean." Yoshi repeated his words.
Dean nodded. Nearby the waiter who picked up the dried fruit. He pointed all the walnuts into the basket on the servant's back. Then all the scattered fruit was gathered Dean as well. And put it back in the basket.
"Huh?"
The waiter is now in a daze. No more old fruit should be on the ground. Everything's been cleaned up Dean.
'If only I had that ability, my work would be done quickly, ' his mind was amazed.
"Woyy. You guys don't daydream. Where else is the fruit. It's over here." Shouted the waiter towards the two friends above.
Dean, Widuri and Yoshi smiled. They're heading for the bench on the porch.
"Is there anything important uncle? Have the people in the woods met?" Ask Yoshi to know.
Dean shakes. Widuri sipped her drink and casually enjoyed the shady and beautiful garden. This big house is very close to the beach. But it feels very shady here. Many shady trees and flowers that make the impression of hot beaches are lost without a trace. The park is like a green oasis under the intense onslaught of sunlight.
"It's about Sunil. We think it's time to find a healer to check on him." Dean said lethargic.
"Uncle Sunil isn't conscious yet?" Yoshi jumped in shock.
"It's been days." He muttered with a frown.
A waiter appeared and said that the guest had left.
"Let's ask Dad." Yoshi stood up impatiently.

"Hmmm... A physician, huh? There is a good doctor. But live in the hills over there. He rarely came down to the city, because he wanted to serve the little people." Said the city chief.
"Did you mean the one-legged old healer?" Tanya Yoshi made sure. Father nodded.
"Yes, he. He's the best healer here. But I don't like the city crowd. What's more after a disagreement with Duke that left his leg badly injured and eventually amputated. In the past he was the one who treated Duke when we found him badly injured in the woods." The city leader nodded in disappointment.
"Do you want her to check in on you, or do you want to bring Sunil in for a check-up here?" Ask Dean.
Dean looked at Widuri asking for his opinion.
"If he's a trustworthy healer, being taken straight to the cottage doesn't matter either?" Widuri asked back.
"No. He's trustworthy and always keeps secrets." Answer the city chief.
Widuri nodded at Dean.
"alright. How do we find him?" ask Dean impatiently.
"Yeah, I'll be there soon." Yoshi stood up straight from his seat.
"Then, we also just go back and wait for Yoshi to come." Said Dean.
"Wait."
The city chief opened his desk drawer and took out a jingling pouch. He threw the bag at Dean.
"You will need money to pay for his services." Said the city chief.
Dean's dumbstruck. He opened the bag he had caught. There were some copper and silver coins inside.
"Actually we also sell something on the market and have a little money. So it looks like we don't need this yet." Dean returned the money bag to the table.
"alright. I don't know if you're doing business in the market, either." The city leader felt guilty.
"Yes, we pick wild fruits in the forest or make syrup, juice and sweets. And sell it to the market." Widuri answered quickly.
"So, now we're back. Thanks for your help." Said Dean respectfully. Both step out.
Yoshi scowled at his father for offending his uncle. Dean and Widuri. The city leader felt helpless. He just wanted to help with that money bag. No other meaning. But her daughter is upset with him.
"Auntie, I'll get you the walnuts you want." Yoshi reminded Widuri.
"Ah yes. I almost forgot." Widuri patted her own eel.
Yoshi smiled and immediately disappeared into the interior of the house. Dean and Widuri were waiting at the front of the house. From there you can see some workers and officers in uniforms going back and forth transporting goods. Some officers with swords tucked occasionally passed by.
"Auntie, this." Yoshi appears and hands a large pouch into Widuri's hand.
"It's heavy. Did you empty your stockroom?" Tanya Widuri.
"No. I have some things that I think are delicious. I want aunt to taste it." Yoshi smiled shyly.
"Oh, okay. Thank ye. We'll try." Said Widuri kindly. He did not check what it contained anymore, thinking it might be pastries or snacks typical of the area.
Dean kept the big bag in his storage room. Then they say goodbye. They went straight back to the cottage.

Alan and Nastiti have reached the shore cliffs. They are examining the area closely. The forest below was quiet. There are no large wild animals that might be hunted.
"How can the animals here also disappear? This forest is so weird." Chirps Nastiti.
"really. It's already very far from the dome of light. Why are there still no hunted animals?" Alan was astonished as well.
They continued down the forest while occasionally looking at the sea in the distance. As Dean said, this area is like a foreign area where no ships pass. The vast sea was empty.
Alan and Nastiti continued to fly further and further. Until they find another beach.
"Alan, let's go there and take shelter first. The sun is right over your head. It's so hot." Nastiti.
Alan nodded in agreement to rest for a while. They finally reached the white sand area. Alan descended slowly after being convinced that no one else was nearby.
"Alan, I want coconut water." The word Nastiti with mimic is made as cute as possible.
"Don't show that look. You look weird." Sergey Alan to Nastiti.
Nastiti direct jutek.
"I just want to be nice. If you don't want to be okay already." Nastiti dongkol.
Alan laughed smack. He flew over a coconut tree and picked some of its young fruits.
"Be yourself. If you suddenly change well, I think you're possessed.. Haha." Ledek Alan laughed happily.
Nastiti pouting. But said nothing. His count patiently Alan cut the young coconut with his laser fire. Alan handed over the coconut fruit that had been cut off.
Nastiti is happy because the way Alan is very practical than the brothers who ice the coconut on the roadside during Ramadan. He impatiently poured coconut water into his mouth.
"Bright.." Nastiti looked at the coconut fruit with a look of disbelief. He wanted to protest, but when he saw Alan was also pouring coconut water, he looked forward to how Alan reacted.
"Aahhh. shit!" ashen Alan.
"Haha.."
Nastiti laughed back and forth to see the coconut water wet all Alan's clothes.
"The dark water gets hot because you're using your hot laser." Nastiti.
"It doesn't feel fresh anymore either." Alan muttered.
"Do it the traditional way. Like the coconut brothers on the roadside. Ayooo I'm so thirsty." Nastiti Urge.
Alan finally took out a large knife from his storage and began to cut the skin of the coconut fruit.
It takes time and energy. But the results are as expected. They lay on coconut leaves under the shade of trees. Hot wind from the direction of the sea expels the taste of stinging heat.
"It looks like these coconuts were never picked. They grow tight and irregular." Alan said after assessing the coconut forest.
"What if we just harvest? Bring it home to make cooking oil. We can sell young in the market. I've never seen anyone sell coconut water drinks in the market." Nastiti gave me an idea.
"Your business mind immediately captures the opportunity. Okay, we'll harvest all the coconuts here." Answer Alan.
