SURVIVORS
209 Chapter. New Findings
Dean stopped at the marked point. He looked around, looking for clues. Yabie soon followed. He wants to go down behind the trees down there. But Dean's prevented.
"Wait a minute!" said Dean.
"You wait here, don't go anywhere."
Dean moved away a little, wanting to break a little bit of the tree branch he saw. But Dean couldn't reach the top of the tree. There was a transparent barrier covering the tree. Dean then flew higher. Watching around. It's barely visible..
"Yabie, come here!" call Dean.
Yabie darted closer to Dean who was hovering in midair.
"Let's look in that direction" Dean pointed in one direction with a mysterious smile.
Yabie watched the direction Dean pointed to closely.
"There's nothing there" said Yabie puzzled.
"Wait and keep watching!" dean's orders.
Dean darted towards the place he had pointed at earlier. Then he came down and touched the transparent barrier above the treetops.
"What do you see?" asked Dean from a distance.
"Hmmm...." Yabie seemed to think.
"The sky in the afternoon!" yabie Yells.
"Exactly!" exclaim Dean happy.
He came to Yabie.
"Then what can you deduce from that?" ask Dean.
Yabie nodded in confusion. Dean took a deep breath.
'It's not his fault if he doesn't understand. Bi can only teach him how to survive in the inner city of Dean's death.
"You see the trees over there." Dean turned Yabie's body so that he could turn his head towards the strip.
"Are you able to see the shadow of the afternoon sky on those trees?" ask Dean.
"No!" yabie replied after paying attention for quite a long time.
"Then, why do you think the tree in that section can refract the sky's shadow?" Dean tested Yabie.
"No idea" replied Yabie again.
"Have you ever seen the shadow of the sky on the surface of the sea?" ask Dean.
Yabie thinks.
"Yes. If the sea is calm, we can see the shadow of the sky on the surface of the sea."
Suddenly, Yabie's eyes grew. His face was happy with his mouth slightly open, like he knew something.
Dean smiled, 'He understands now, ' Dean thought.
"Is there a sea, uncle? I didn't see him!" Yabie.
Dean was surprised to hear Yabie's words. He patted his eel and closed his eyes.
'I expect too much, ' Dean lamented inwardly.
"forget over. The point is, there's something down here. Closed and protected by something. Let's hold this, please," Dean asks Yabie to touch the transparent surface.
"Uncle's right. It's like a dead city cover" Yabie said.
"You finally understand" said Dean happily.
"Below there's something. Like a different world too. But his outward appearance can fool us" Dean explained.
"Craud how?" ask Yabie not understand.
"It was me and Alan that time that they examined this forest even further. And since it's just an untouched forest here, we didn't expect anything like this."
"So how are we going to check this place out?" ask Yabie.
"We can't check it out tonight. It's too dark" Dean said.
Dean flew slowly and kept trying to touch the tops of the trees. And he stopped when he could touch a tree top. Dean cut down the treetops. Do the same thing up to 3 trees.
"We've already marked the location. Tomorrow we can check the area around here."
"Let's go home. It's starting the night" Dean asked.
Both of them flew towards the house in the forest.

Kang searches for Robert and invites him back to their home sooner. Vivian was left with her group. The sky suddenly darkened. Kang held Robert's hand tightly and then jumped quickly at a greater distance.
Robert was screaming. Because for the range of the jump to that extent, it means Kang has to attach his body higher. For Robert, it was like riding a Rollercoster. Rise high quickly then swoop down hard. Makes her cringe, nauseous and dizzy.
The first raindrops had fallen when they arrived home. All the doors of the house are closed. And the job of closing the cage has also been much easier. Robert has designed all the cages that were rebuilt to be easily opened and closed.
Then they returned to the underground stone chamber in the tomb complex.
There was nothing Robert could do but rest in the room. They even forgot to bring food in a hurry. All you can do is sleep on an empty stomach.

Robert woke up to the knock on his door. His eyes were still sleepy, like a person who was disturbed by his sleep.
"Yes. Just come in Kang," Robert replied as he sat down.
Kang came in and pointed up.
"You want to see the rainbow again?" asked Robert astonished. Kang nodded enthusiastically.
"Well.... Okay, come on," replied Robert reluctantly.
Kang pulled Robert's hand and brought him upstairs. The atmosphere looks darker this time. They arrive at the top as a magical magenta-colored fog, shrouding almost the entire visible outer area.
'What's that fog? How dangerous?' inner Robert.
Kang looked towards the top of the temple. Robert looked there. And again, a very bright beam of white light, radiated far high into space.
'What light is this? I've been through it twice. Could it be a caller or a communication signal? Like people used to use fire smoke to signal danger?' thought Robert.
The light only appeared after the magenta fog sealed off the area around the dome. Then it rained quite heavily for some time. A little lightning dyed the rain this time.
In about 1 hour, the rain had gone back. The magenta fog is gone. The sky is clean again. But it's still dark.
"It turns out it's still night. It feels good to still be sleepy" muttered Robert.
"Kang, it's still night. There will be no rainbow at night. Let's go back to sleep, "take Robert.
But Kang still kept staring at the sky. Robert looked up there. There is only a pitch-black sky. No stars appear.
"What are you waiting for?" robert was confused. Kang didn't respond. He looked up, like he was waiting for something.
'What was the ray call? Request help? Or what? Kang was like waiting for something to appear in the sky.' Robert finally looked up at the sky. Until his head was tired from looking up.
Robert looked around. In the dome there is no rain. So the soil remains dry. Robert lay on the ground. He held his head and looked straight at the sky.
"Kang, if you want to keep watching the sky, lying down is the best way." call Robert.
Kang. Then follow Robert's way and lie down next to him. He continued to look towards the sky, without giving any hint to Robert.
Robert didn't force it either. While accompanying Kang who was observing the sky, Robert continued sleeping next to him. He was tired, hungry and very sleepy. Other business just wait tomorrow. Inside the light dome is very safe. There's nothing to worry about.
