SURVIVORS
Chapters 226. Vivian
Outside the transparent dome of the dead city.
"We just go back. It's been 2 days that the cattle have been neglected there" Robert said goodbye.
"All right then." Dean nodded.
Kang immediately turned into a dragon. Robert went up to his back. The four climbed past the tops of the trees.
"If you've decided the timing of Indra's wedding, let us know" Robert said before Kang flapped his big wings.
"Yeah!" shouted Dean.
"Let's go back, please" Dean said.
Dean and Sunil turned towards the direction of their residence. But it turns out that there are Yabie and Yoshi who keep looking towards Kang and Robert leaving. The eyes of the two stared unblinkingly.
"You guys here? Why not say hello? We can introduce you to Robert. One of the friends who went missing during the shipwreck" Sunil said.
"They're uncle's friends from the future?" yoshi asked in disbelief.
"Robert, who was sitting on the dragon's back," Dean explained.
"Dragon?" yabie asked with enlarged eyes.
"Yes, the dragon was named Kang. Who helped Robert when he was trapped in the world we were investigating at the time." Dean explained in more detail.
"Oh yeah, I almost forgot. In that world there are also women who are the same as your father" Dean added.
"What?!" Yoshi was very surprised to hear that. All he knew was that only his father Fallen Angel was left.
"Well, at least, that's how it looks when I see it. White winged as the city chief pointed out at the time. But it doesn't refract the golden rays like your father, at all" Dean said.
"Uncle, I want to see it" Yoshi said.
"It's impossible today. They've been ignoring domesticated cattle for 2 days, to try to treat Laras here...."
"They can treat Aunt Baras?"
Yabie really can't believe it. His mother even had to go through a very sad time at that time. Is there anyone who can treat this disease?
"Didn't all treatments have to be tried? You can't just give up if you get a chance to try it" Sunil calmed Yabie down.
"Why haven't I checked that world in a long time? So you can be saved." whispered Yabie.
Dean grabbed his shoulder.
"That's called destiny. We can't change it anymore. So don't blame yourself," comfort Dean.
"What if you go to uncle's place first?" invite Dean who saw Yabie still silent and have not digested her words.
Yabie and Yoshi followed Dean and Sunil obediently. They flew towards the hut in the forbidden forest.

Robert and Kang were immediately busy taking care of all the cattle when they got home. Until the afternoon they rested.
Kang pointed in one direction. Robert followed the direction Kang pointed at curiously.
"That was the sheep of that time!" robert was beaming.
The two slowly approached the cool sheep eating fresh grass not far from the vegetable garden. Either the sheep is indeed tame, or unknowingly approached. But Robert finally got it. He hugged and stroked the dirty-looking sheep. The sheep stood stiff, almost trembling to see Kang.
"Kang, we'd better put this sheep in the cage. What if it suddenly rains which invites a red mist? Won't he be sick?" ask Robert.
"Hemmm.." replied Kang.
He then turned to leave Robert.
"Embeeekkkk...."
"Hahahaa. We won't eat you if you obey" teased Robert.
The sheep was not ready to be carried. His legs were firmly on the ground from Robert's hands. He doesn't want to be anyone's meal.
"Ah, you are this. Don't trouble. It's different from your world. You can even die by raindrops or red fog. So it's better to obey" said Robert.
Impatiently, he carried the sheep towards the house. Placed in a separate cage from the others, then fed.

The sky was red and Robert was done cleaning. Kang is also almost done cooking.
"What are you doing today?" ask Robert while plucking food in the cauldron.
Puk!
Kang brushed his hand. His eyes showed anger. Robert often pokes food by hand. Kang showed Robert the chopsticks.
"Hahahaa. Why do I always forget." said Robert with a smile.
He helped Kang lift all the dishes to the dining table.
"When makaann...," said Robert happily.
Robert tried to make the atmosphere of the house more crowded. Even though I have to chatter myself. But Kang's typical deheman voice or eye movements that are often widened if they do not agree to something, is a good response.
Kang has made progress. Who used to be rigid and minimal expression, now began to be able to respond to the stories delivered Robert. He was no longer Kang who was as stiff as a rock.
His laughter, which burned some trees at that time, had broken his fortitude for expression and response. Kang is more friendly now.
Tok...
The house was silent for a moment. Kang and Robert stopped eating. They look at each other. There are no other neighbors here, except the Vivian group.
"Is he coming in at night like this?" robert muttered.
"You don't want to open the door?" asked Robert astonished.
Kang shook his head.
Tok...
"What's wrong with you? Maybe he needs help!" robert's nagging.
Robert got up and headed for the door. But Robert was surprised to see who was standing in front of the door instead of Vivian. There was Maya and another who had once come.
"What's the night here?" Robert scrunched his forehead.
"Vivian.please Vivian," Maya said with a terrified expression.
"Why Vivian?" asked Robert astonished.
As Robert recalled, when Vivian left, she was already healthy and capable of flight. So what's this about?
"He's... She's...."
Maya doesn't know how to explain Vivian's situation.
Kang came to the door. Maya's forehead touched to find out.
"Hhhh...!" maya was surprised.
Kang then transfers the memory to Robert. Robert surprised.
"We have to go there, Kang. Take it to Chandra's doctor, at Dean's," Robert whispered into Kang's ear.
Kang remained silent. It seemed as if he was reluctant to help the group again. He was already hurt by Vivian's attitude at that time. Robert's friends are much better and can accept him for who he is.
"Kang, we live next door that must help each other, if we can help," said Robert.
"Please..please...." Maya's eyes are waiting for Kang's help.
"Why don't you guys bring him straight here?" asked Robert astonished.
"Yesterday we've been here with Vivian. But you don't exist. We've knocked on the door repeatedly and waited a long time" Maya explained.
"He was sick from yesterday?!" Robert surprised.
"Come Kang!" Robert pulled Kang's hand to help.
"We'll take you flying" Maya said.

Robert examined Vivian who was curled up holding her stomach. His face was pale withstanding pain. Cold sweat poured out but his body had a fever.
"What did he eat? What is food poisoning?" ask Robert.
"No. He ate what we ate" Maya replied worriedly. She looks like a mother now.
"alright. We will take it and treat it. You guys just wait at home. We'll call you later" said Robert.
"Come Kang. We have to get him right away!" said Robert.
Kang changed his body shape.
"Ohhhhh!"
Maya and her friends screamed in surprise. They're frightened. Unknowingly, Maya protects Vivian and brushes off Robert's hand.
Robert was treated so.
"You want to let him die here, or get treated?!" ask Robert annoyed.
Yesterday Vivian hurt Kang's feelings. Now the whole group is behaving the same. Feeling Kang was right, that these were not the ones that needed to be helped at all.
Maya budging. He kept protecting Vivian who was in pain in the back.
"Yes if you don't want to be helped. You guys just have to prepare a funeral for him. Since we left, we won't be in touch anymore. Don't bother or ask for any help!" Robert warned loudly.
"Let's go back Kang!" Robert jumped up onto Kang's back. They're getting ready to fly.
"Wait!" yelled one of them.
She shifts Maya's body covering Vivian.
"Please..save him.." he said begging.
Robert's forehead curled observing.
"You sure? You're not afraid of Kang?" robert asked to be sure.
"We.... I.. I'm more afraid he's dead.." he said softly.
"alright. We'll take him," Robert said.
Two people from the group helped to lift Vivian up and sat her on Kang's back. Robert looked after him from behind.
"We're leaving!" shouted Robert. Kang immediately flew over .
"We need to get him to Doctor Chandra, Kang!" shouted Robert.
"Hmmm...." Kang nodded.
