SURVIVORS
Chaptre 227. Operation Vivian
In the dark of the night, a dragon with 2 passengers on its back, darted flying to a single point at the end of the darkness. The light direction of port city. Only a small crescent moon and a star are illuminated.
After a while.
"That's them, Kang," pointed Robert in one direction below, between the darkness of the forest that had passed.
Kang turned around and floated slowly. Observing. Do not let them enter the residence of unknown people wrongly. Then Kang came down slowly. The flapping of its huge wings made the dust rise into the air.

Dean's team was still sitting at the table after dinner. There's Yoshi there. But Yabie had gone to the dead city before afternoon.
"So when's the wedding, uncle?" ask Yoshi.
"What if 7 days are to come?" ask Indra for consideration.
"If all the preparations are done, why delay?" ask Sunil.
"Niken's clothes are not finished yet. I'll finish it before 7 days" said Marianne.
"Well, then, we can set up the wedding venue in the dead city" Dean said.
"What do you want to prepare for now?" ask Yoshi in wonder.
"I think, building a multi-purpose building now, is also good. So those kids can start learning faster" Dean said.
"After all, we do have to prepare a lot of boards and wood to build other houses. Especially fixing Yabie's house. It's rotten and dangerous" Alan said.
"Will it rain tonight? The wind is very strong" Michael chirped.
"Ugh! dust flying. Let us clean the table before we go to bed." Widuri got up from sitting.
Nastiti and Niken help lift dirty dishes and cups from the table. Marianne wiped the table clean.
"Dee!"
There was a scream before something big landed in the courtyard. The rising dust particles, enveloping them.
"Ohuk... uhuk..."
All coughing.
"Alan, you forgot to flush the lawn!" marianne's Naggle.
Before long, it appeared that someone was walking out of the dust pool. Walk towards Dean and his friends.
"Sorry, we're making this place dusty" he said.
"Robert??" ask Dean not sure.
"Yes. Please help him!" Robert put a girl on a large table in the middle of the court.
Alan floated up and pulled all the dust flying upward. The dust rolled around like a small storm, following him away somewhere. Kang looked at her in admiration.
The air returned clean, making everyone able to breathe freely.
"Who is this?" tanya Yoshi pointed to the table.
Robert looked at the origin of the voice. There was an unknown girl there.
Dean who realized that the two had not yet become acquainted, immediately took the initiative.
"Robert this is Yoshi, my nephew. Yabie's sister," Dean explained.
"Oh, I'm Robert" said Robert kindly.
"This is Vivian, Kang's neighbor. He's got a stomachache from yesterday. Please check Doc."
Doctor Chandra immediately approached the woman who was curled up at the table. He's still conscious.
"Please help hold her hand. I have to check his stomach." Dr Chandra immediately gave instructions.
Indra and Michael help hold the girl's hands and feet. Make him lie on his back and wriggle in pain.
Dr. Chandra groped his stomach, looking around for where the pain was coming from.
"Ohhh!" exclaim Doctor Chandra.
"Vivian hurts what Doc?" ask Robert to worry.
"Looks like appendicitis. This should be surgery soon," says Dr. Chandra.
The news surprised them. Want an operation like this tonight? With minimal illumination, is there no danger?
"What if we take it to the healer's place?" ask Indra.
"Don't!" prevent Yoshi.
"Why?" asked Robert astonished.
"He's winged. That would surprise everyone. That's not a good thing. Believe me," Yoshi explained.
Dean understands. Yoshi must remember the story of his father's group who was chased by humans and killed.
"good. I'll pick up the healer's grandfather" Yoshi said.
"What do you need, Doc?" ask Dean.
"none. You mentioned it earlier. Surgeons, painkillers, antibiotics and bandages" Dr Chandra said.
Yoshi nodded, then floated up to the top of the trees before darting away.
"You guys dissected Baras?" ask Robert then.
"Yes. As he fell, his spine shifted and there was a clot of frozen blood on his back. So it has to be cleaned up" replied Dean.
Robert nodded in understanding.
"So, now what?" ask Robert.
"We must wait for the old physician to come. He's the one who's got the drugs here" said Dr. Chandra.
"Please help clean this table. We have to make it sterile" says Dr. Chandra.
Dean lifted Vivian's body. Indra and Michael took the water and flushed the table. They brushed the entire surface of the table before re-watering it.
Then Alan helped dry the table with a red light in his eyes. That laser-like light swept across the entire surface of the table, making it dry instantly.
Alan also swept the entire dirty and wet floor with his red light until it was all dry and clean again.
Robert didn't think that any red light would come out of Alan's eyes. The light felt warm as it swept his feet. The table is ready to use. Dean laid Vivian's body back on the table.
Sunil had already finished installing more torches near the courtyard.
Marianne boiled water in a big pot. Maybe it will be necessary later. Widuri picked up a clean blanket in her room. Put it on the table. Preparation if needed at any time.
Kang could see the people there. All help with speed. From the first time I met, Kang knew Robert's friends were good people. But he didn't expect them all to follow Doctor Chandra's orders. Even Dean, who was the leader of the group, followed Doctor Chandra's instructions. Kang learned a few things tonight.
"Even a leader must follow expert advice" he concluded. Kang smiled faintly.
A few moments later.
"I'm back," Yoshi appeared with Yabie and the old healer.
All three landed smoothly on the courtyard. Yabie took down the physician's grandfather. Yoshi brought the toolbox. All three headed for the courtyard.
"Who's sick?" ask the old doctor.
"She," replied Dean pointing to the table.
The doctor checked. After discussing with Dr. Chandra, they finally agreed to operate that night. All the equipment is eventually watered and soaked with boiling water to make it sterile. They were preparing for the operation that night.
Alan put all the benches into the yard, except for one bench for Yabie who had to be ready to help ease Vivian's pain.
Vivian was given a drug that immediately made her sleepy and fall asleep. Especially since the pain had lessened, after Yabie had drained away a little of her ability.
While Chandra's surgery was performed with the help of healers Yoshi and Yabie, the others sat anxiously in the courtyard. Especially Kang who had even forgotten to change into human form. His eyes could not be separated from the backs that surrounded Vivian.
"You don't worry. Usually appendectomy is not dangerous. It is dangerous if he is not operated. Vivian's in good hands" comforted Robert
Kang threw his face away. Robert laughed a little.
Nastiti approaches Robert and Kang.
"May I say something?" tanyakanya.
Although astonished by Nastiti's attitude, but Robert still nodded.
"Tell me," said Robert.
"No, he didn't want to say anything. Forgetit. Just kidding," Niken quickly pulled Nastiti away from the others.
Robert and Kang looked at the two in confusion.
"Do you want to embarrass yourself?" whispered spicy Niken.
"What do you mean?" elak Nastiti's.
"Huh! You think my eyes can you fool? You want to shoot him, right? Didn't you see Kang keep looking at the girl with a worried look?" whispered Niken again.
Nastiti immediately turned her back to see the truth of Niken's words. And true. Kang was looking towards the courtyard.
"But everyone looks worried too" Nistiti said.
"You are!" Niken was so upset to see it.
"Are you not able to distinguish the gaze of a loving person from one who has no special feelings?" ask Niken annoyed.
Nastiti shook her head in despair. He also doesn't know why he likes Kang so much. The man never spoke a word. Smile at him no. But he couldn't help but get close to Kang.
"I've read about veromons that can make similar creatures know each other and are lured to reproduce. But you and Kang are clearly different. And you're the only one chasing him. He doesn't even recognize you as his partner" Niken said in surprise.
"What are you talking about?" nastiti said annoyed. His face flushed red at Niken's words about reproduction.
"Shameful!" he said he was sorry.
