SURVIVORS
207 Chapter. Memories That Crossed
Until the next 2 days, Robert and Kang were still struggling to open land for gardens and cages for livestock. They also brought chicken and fish seeds to be kept.
The women were enthusiastic about learning to plant vegetable seeds. They also love to play water when it is time to water the plants. Especially when moving fish seeds in a small pond that Kang made.
"Already, don't stir the water. The fish will get dizzy. If they die, you're the losers" Robert scolded.
Hearing that they immediately stopped stirring the pool water. And watch the little fish with worry.
Robert shook his head and smiled faintly.
"The work here is done and it's still day. So Kang and I are going to check out a little bit of the forest area where you used to hunt" Robert said.
The women showed a dislike face. Kang realized something He looked at Vivian sharply.
"Vivian, haven't I explained that our help is conditional? Didn't you say Maya agreed? Then why do they look like this?" asked Robert sharply. His face is not friendly.
Vivian can't argue. In the group, although he and his mother agreed to the terms, 3 others refused to cooperate. He can't do anything.
"Kang, leave whatever you're doing. Come here quickly!" call Robert.
"We are good and honest people. People ask for help, of course, if they can. But if you're being sneaky, we can too. You do not keep your promises after escaping death, it is also up to you. From now on we live each other and don't bother each other!"
"Don't ever ask us for help again. You guys don't care we don't care!" robert said firmly.
Kang approached in confusion. Robert put Kang's finger on his forehead. Kang's face flushed red and looked at the 5 women with a deadly look.
He was more afraid of the quiet man. What else was then dropped and tied Kang. He hasn't forgotten how agile Kang's movement is. It made him retreat further.
"Kang, they don't regret breaking their promise. Well, we're wasting our free time here. Let's destroy those gardens" Robert asked. He walked towards the chicken coop and took all the chickens that were brought before.
While Kang has got a large wooden rod that can be used to destroy the fish pond. Kang got ready and swung his hand which was holding a wooden rod.
The women were surprised to see that their groceries had been taken back by Robert and the pond would be destroyed.
"Don't! Please don't. We'll let you check out the hunting forest area. Don't take our food" Maya pleaded.
"Heh, after your attitude earlier, you think we will believe? People who try to break promises, do not deserve to be trusted anymore," said Robert cynical.
"You can apply another condition, just don't destroy all this" Maya bargained.
"You are very poor. What can you offer?" Robert asked back.
Maya is also confused. He also did not know what to offer.
"Vivian, here!" call him.
Vivian approaching. Robert tried to guess Maya's plan.
"You can take Vivian as collateral. You can have him do anything. Let him learn your knowledge. Once you're done checking, you can return it here." Maya said firmly.
Vivian also did not argue. He doesn't mind if he has to help Kang and Robert, as long as the group still has food.
"Heh... You want to send a spy to our place?" Robert raised next to his eyebrows, mocking Maya's plan.
"No. It's not like that. I mean, he's a guarantee for you. Or you can lock him up if you're worried." - Maya.
"Mother!" Vivian was stunned to hear her own mother's words.
Robert laughing.
"Geez.."
"You sadistic mother. Your own daughter you're sending brackets for food that doesn't necessarily grow?" ask Robert not to believe it.
"You hear that? Too bad for you" Robert told Vivian.
Vivian cried unconsciously. She did not think her mother was that kind.
"Kang, put the wood down" said Robert. Kang.
"We accept your offer. Your daughter was our prisoner as we checked."
"This. You take care of these chickens yourself." Robert let go of the chickens he held.
The four women were busy cupping chickens who fled everywhere.
"You come with us to check. Show me the way you know!" robert's orders to Vivian. The girl had no choice but to obey.
The three left the Maya residence for the forest. Bringing Vivian is indeed profitable. They can quickly reach the final frontier of the forest. They're stopping. Robert reached out to a branch not far from his feet.
Using the twig, Robert touched the empty area behind the shrub. Then there was a faint light behind there. Robert and Kang looked at each other.
Robert smiled.
'This is the wall boundary. Wood can't break through, so there shouldn't be a door gap here Robert's inner.
Robert plucked the red fruit in the bushes. Tastes sweet sour fresh.
"Vivian, you can pick up this fruit. Look for one that's red like this. Gather a lot to eat later" Robert said.
"It can be eaten?" ask Vivian wonder.
"of course. That's raspberry fruit. Rich in vitamin C" explains Robert.
"Kang, choose the part that we can plant in our residence," said Robert.
Kang nodded. He immediately squatted down near Vivian who was busy picking and stuffing raspberries into her mouth. His eyes closed until he enjoyed the fresh sensation of the fruit. Vivian's expression was like that, making Kang's face blush.
Robert didn't notice that. He was checking the light wall. Until the atmosphere felt so quiet. At that time Robert had just realized, had gone too far from Kang and Vivian. He walked back to call the two men.
"Just now Robert wanted to shout but canceled it when he saw two different people of that type were looking at each other.
"Ahhh.they are human beings thousands of years old. Still counted my great-grandfather. A child like me disrespectfully interferes with the pleasure of parents," Robert muttered as he passed.

Yabie had told him what Laras was going through and he had already confirmed the black mark was similar to the one his mother had experienced.
Barrels offered want to stay with whom. He did not know Yabie well, so he refused to stay at the town hall.
Laras also refuses to stay with Dean's team. He realized that he could not go back on his way home. So she decided to stay with Mattew and Kenny's group.
Knowing Laras' decision, Liam finally decides to settle down and take care of Laras in the dead city.
No one can force them to overturn that decision. Everyone respects and helps as much as possible.
A whole week Dean and his friends built 2 wooden houses.
One house was on the right side of Yabie's old house. Which will be occupied by Liam and Laras. The house is quite large and made 2 floors. The 2nd floor is clear for Liam. First floor for Laras room as well as other rooms.
Second home for Mattew and Kenny's group. Dean plans to make 2 blocks of the house for them. It is placed at the left side of the city gate.
But in the meantime they made one house big enough to accommodate all the children. They can build another house gradually.
"Now the house is finished. You can start to fill it. There is also a water source. Each house has its own well. And there's a little bit of land on each page that can be planted. It could bring the atmosphere of this city to life again" Dean said.
"Can Laras be picked up tomorrow?" ask Liam.
"I can pick him up from the healer." Yabie offered.
"My wheelchair can be brought here. It'll make it easier for you to take her around the city" Sunil said.
"Thank you" said Liam Haru.
"alright. Since it's still daytime, how about we get the bed ready for Laras?" bring Alan.
"He needs a soft mattress" Liam said.
"Just wear what's in Yabie's old house. No one wears either" Michael suggested.
"Yes, you're right. Let me get it out."
Yabie darted quickly into the house and took out her sheepskin mattress. The mattress was dried in the daylight. Some children patted the mattress alternately to remove the dust trapped between the fleece of the sheep.
Dean worked on making simple cots, making clothes racks. Dining table and 2 seats. While Alan and Sunil finished the bathroom and the cooking stove facing the backyard.
"I think we're done here" Indra said.
"Yes. The barrel can come back. It's all done" Michael said.
"OKAY. We can rest" said Dean.
All disperse and do their own activities. Mattew and Kenny took the children to pick up the skins of the animals they were sleeping on. They can move to a new home. A much stronger and safer home.
"Yabie, I think the wheat in your field is ready to be harvested. How about we harvest now? Soon the stocks of the children's yams will run out. And we're in the woods too short of trees."
"Let's harvest" replied Yabie gladly. The two went to the hidden courtyard behind the walls of Yabie's old house.
"Are you the one who planted this? ask Dean on the way.
"Yes. My mother taught me to plant, milk, cut and skin animals" Yabie replied with eyes glaring.
"Mother likes to tell stories, that there is someone she knows, who is very adept at taking care of plants. To harvest the wheat one need not cut with a scythe like this." Yabie showed her how to cut the bar of wheat.
Dean laughs. He knew Bi was telling him about it.
"The man just had to raise his hand, swing to the left right, then all the cut wheat floated up into the air" Dean added feelingly. His eyes glowed golden. Very brilliant.
Yabie gaped at seeing that. How could it be exactly as his mother told him?
"Uncle!" screams approaching.
"It turns out mom told me about you. I thought he told my dad."
Yabie's shocked face resuscitated Dean. He sighed. Throw away the memories that pass.
"I'm your mother's brother. We grew up together from small. Of course he knows about me," Dean explained.
"You're right. Why did I forget that." Yabie shook her head.
"Let's harvest. It'll be a late afternoon hunt." Dean ordered. Yabie follows Dean working together.
