SURVIVORS
Chapters 165. Battlefield
Morning time.
After breakfast, Dean, Alan and Michael together open the land to grow wheat and vegetables.
Dean cut down some big trees. Alan helped move it. Dean pulled out a saw, an axe and a large machete.
"Michael you can help by cutting branches and twigs. Let the wood stick lengthen. That'll be useful later."
"You bought all these things in town?" ask Michael.
"No. We made it ourselves while on the rock." Alan answered.
"How can you?" Michael astonished.
"Misache. Sunil and Nastiti were very skilled at processing iron ore into various tools." Alan was proud.
"There's iron ore?" Michael said to himself.
"There's." Alan reassured him again.
"It's just worth it." Michael watched the saw in his hand.
"Let's work."
Alan had already started to cut off some parts of the branches and twigs. Michael helped immediately. While Dean had started to dismantle and flip the ground with the scratch he made last night.
"Alan, the way Dean flips and cleans weeds looks professional, like a real farmer." Praise Michael.
"That's A. He served on the farm. He is a professional in that field. He knew exactly what to do to clear the farm." Alan answered while continuing to work.
"Hey, you can't be so dumb. Let's help. We work together according to each other's portions and abilities." Said Alan.
"OKAY. Vibrancy.." Michael again busy sawing and cleaning branches and twigs.
By noon, there was still one more tree trunk unfinished. But Widuri, Nastiti and Niken have prepared blueberry juice and a small snack for their hungry belly fillers.
Until the afternoon they struggled to cultivate the new land. The place is starting to look neat. Widuri was satisfied to see it.
"This one is so broad. Are you planning to grow wheat?" Ask Widuri to Dean.
"Yes. This one's for wheat. Are your seeds enough to plant everything?" ask Dean.
"don't know. Let's just try. If the seeds are not much, the rest we plant with sweet potatoes can also be." Answer Widuri.
"Where are the vegetables?" Ask Nastiti.
"My plan, later on this side. Near the entrance." Dean showed me the location.
"What about the fence? Is it safe if our garden is outside the fence?" Ask Nastiti wonder.
"After it's all done, we slide the fence over all our farmland." Dean thought about it.
"alright. It's up to you. When can we start sowing seeds?" Ask Nastiti again.
"This afternoon Alan and I will water this land. Let him get wet all night. You can soak the seedlings later tonight, then sprinkle them there tomorrow morning." Obviously Dean.
"okay." Widuri and Nastiti answered in unison. Both believe that the men will clear up the obstacles so that they can easily start gardening.
"I remember the Goddess. At this hour he's milking the sheep while telling us to hurry the bath." Widuri smiled remembering the sweet memories she went through with the Goddess.
"I miss him." Nastiti hugs Widuri. Both are lost in memories.
"Uncle, aunt.." Yoshi's voice sounded. Widuri turned to the origin of the voice.
"I brought in people who he said knew uncle and aunt." Yoshi lowered a man slowly.
"Indaura!"
Suddenly Niken ran away from the court and hugged Indra. Both embrace happily.
"Thank God you survived. Thank goodness." Niken kept crying in Indra's arms.
"I'm doing fine. Don't cry anymore." persuade Indra.
"I'm glad you're with them." Indra rubbed Niken's back, calming her down.
"So you saved the fishermen?" ask doctor Chandra.
"Yes. They saved me. Then I took me to the doctor. From there I met him." Indra pointed at Yoshi.
"Oh, great. She's the daughter of the head of this city" Dr Chandra explained.
"Hi Indra." Nastiti and Widuri approach.
"Truly Dean's team. Then where is he now?"
"They're clearing the land. We plan a little gardening to live on" replied Nastiti.
"Well, that's great. I can help." Indra offers his power.
"good. All team members must contribute." Widuri gave her thumb.
"Don't you just say Dean is cultivating land there? He flew right after her."
Doctor Chandra pointed, "Look."
While chattering, Yoshi walked into the fence. Holding Dean's arm in a spoiled way. Michael and Alan followed behind. Indra and Niken saw that scene unblinkingly.
"See uncle. Isn't he your friend." Yoshi pointed at Indra.
"Thank God you're safe and we can get together again." Dean's words were warm. Indra returned Dean's embrace was no less warm.
"Michael!" I cried when I saw Michael.
Michael smile.
"Marianne's here too." Michael pointed. Indra looked at the two in disbelief.
"Keep that curiosity first. Let them clean the body first."
Doctor Chandra brought Indra to sit on the bench. They told me some light things.
Tim Dean was relieved that another friend had been found. Hope others meet soon too.

Two days later.
The barrel shows the wall of light he sees by the beach on Liam.
"This. Look, let me show you."
The barrel takes a handful of sand and gravel. Then threw it towards the wall of light he saw. The previous wall was transparent and invisible, displaying its original shape when touched by something.
"Woaa. You're right." Liam was surprised.
"So which direction should we choose? This one or what Robert's been through?" Ask Laras.
"This is all. If I follow Robert my feet are still hard to use to climb the cliff." Said Liam.
"OKAY. Now we find fish first to prepare us for the journey." Barrel Proposal.
"Good idea. Let's go get some fish first."
Liam and Laras search for fish with vigor. That day they burned all the fish they had. Some fish are separated for the trip. The rest they enjoy.
"Let's walk. Mumpy hasn't been night." Take Liam.
"Come on."
The barrel rose from its seat and followed Liam who was standing in front of the wall of light.
The two held hands as they stepped through that wall of light. Soon Laras was stunned by what he saw later.
"Is that fireworks? Woaa, there's a lot of fireworks flying." Point the barrel towards the dark sky.
Liam looked up. He was surprised and had an unpleasant feeling. Followed by the direction of fireworks called Laras. When the bright object fell, it immediately made a fire. The sound of people screaming.
"Damn! It's a battlefield. It's a fire arrow, not fireworks. Down." Liam pulled Laras' body to lie face down on the ground.
"What do you mean battlefield?" ask Laras not understand.
"Look up. One side there, another one there. that was there already released a fire arrow, soon that there will reply." Liam explained.
"But the most dangerous thing is that we are in the middle of the battlefield." Mumbled Liam horrified.
Why danger?" The barrel is still chatty.
"Because when their arrows run out, they will go forward. Then fight face to face using a sword. Can you imagine our current position?" Liam explained impatiently.
"Why do we get out in the middle of the battlefield?" Confusion barrel.
"Come, we need to get out of here quietly." Liam pulled the arm of Laras.
"Why? Where's where?" Maximum confused barrel.
"Come.."
Liam crept slowly so that his movements were not known to the two parties who were attacking each other. Drawn the hand Laras so as not to separate.
"Syuuutttt...!
"Aaahhh" Laras covered her face in fear.
An arrow stopped right on the ground, in front of Liam's eyes. It made them both deathly pale and stopped creeping on the ground.
"We're caught. Caught.." Laras blabbed incoherently. Liam continued to hug Laras' back, keeping him from being hit by stray bullets from any direction.
