SURVIVORS
Chaptre 233. Swamp Town
That afternoon Yoshi came to the mansion in the middle of the forbidden forest.
"Where's Dean's uncle?" ask Niken who is sitting in the courtyard
"Go to Kang's place with Widuri, Sunil and Nastiti" Niken replied.
"Well, I'm not waiting. Tell me you asked him to come home this afternoon" Yoshi said.
"Is it really important?" ask Alan.
"It could be important, it could not be, either" replied Yoshi origin.
"Let me follow up to Kang's place" Alan said.
"Uncle, can I come? I want to know the location of that small world," Yoshi asked with a smile.
"Come, if you want to know."
Alan immediately floated up.
"We go first!" he turned towards Niken.
Both of them shot rapidly towards the center of the island.
A few moments later.
"You sure you don't want to look inside?" ask Alan again.
"I'll wait here. So hurry!" alan's body pushed away.
Alan enters Kang's small world. And fortunately, he could immediately see his friends were in a wheat field not far from the meadow.
"Dee!" shouted Alan.
Widuri and Nastiti turned their heads towards the sounding sound.
"What's wrong?" ask Widuri.
"Yoshi's looking for Dean. The city chief wants to meet, ", Alan said.
"They're harvesting" said Nastiti.
"Dean! The city chief called you. There's something important!" Alan sent a transmission message.
Dean's activity paused for a moment, as Alan's voice interrupted his concentration. Dean immediately stopped his work.
Nearby Robert who was tying the bar of wheat, became a great bond. That is to make it easier to hang it in the storage room.
"Robert, the City Chief called me. I have to go now."
"Oh? Alright. First get your business done. Thank you for helping out here. The work gets faster if done expertly," praised Robert.
"Tell Kang and Sunil" Dean said.
"okay!" Robert gave his thumb.
"Do you want to come here or come home?" ask Dean to Widuri.
"Let's accompany these two women here" Alan bargained.
"No!" reject Dean.
"In the cottage there must be a standby. Anticipate if something happens," Dean continued.
"Alright.." said Alan listlessly.
"Nastiti, do you want to come home, or stay?" ask Widuri.
"I'll wait for Sunil" replied Nastiti quickly.
"OKAY. I'm coming home" said Widuri. Dean nodded.
"Robert, we're home!" exclaim Dean.
"Yes..." Robert looked up and threw a smile.
Alan, Dean and Widuri came out of the small world gap.
"Uncle Dean!"
A familiar voice halted their plan to speed up.
"You waiting here?" tanys Dean to Yoshi. Yoshi just nodded with a smile.
"Come on!" bring Yoshi. Dis darted ahead of Dean and Alan
"Yoshi, you're cheating! No cue before flying!" alan protests while chasing Yoshi.
"Twk!... Alan always thought of everything as a race" said Widuri slowly.
"Origin does not harm others, then let it go," Dean said kalem.
He focused on catching up with his two comrades who were already invisible. While Widuri hugged him tightly so as not to fall.
"About, what's the City Leader going to talk about?" muttered Widuri.
"Don't think too complicated. Meet first, then see what he'll talk about.
Dean saw Yoshi stop flying.
"I wait for uncle," Yoshi said without further ado. Dean nodded.
"I'll put you down first."
Dean lowered Widuri in front of the court. Then he turned towards Yoshi. His kefua darted quickly towards the City Chief's residence.

"Yoshi, grab him a drink for your uncle," the City Chief who saw Yoshi following him sat down next to him.
Yoshi got up with a grunt. And then disappeared behind the door.
"Dean, I've got news from the rest of the crew. Whether this is important or not to you." The city chief started the conversation.
It was a surprise for Dean. He did have trouble digging up information that came from another city or island. Dean had no link to get important info from the crew.
"What news? dean asked calmly.
"This morning, a staff member went to check on the incoming freighter at dawn." The City Leader starts the story.
"When checking things in, he listened to the crew talking about something magical. Luminous walls or something," said the City Chief.
"really? In which city did it happen? dean asked with interest.
"They call it the Swamp City. The city was built on a swamp. Including the location of the port," replied the City Chairman.
"Is this ship used to come back here? Or just one way?" ask Dean as much detail as possible.
"This ship comes here every 3 months. He had been going the same route for years. Ship owners are business people who sell and buy goods from one place to another. Their efforts are centered in the city of Light," explained the City Chief again.
"Light City?" dean asked confused.
"Yeah, maybe not like your shadow. According to them, the origin of the name of the city is due to the many fireflies that glow at night. But now the light of the fireflies has been replaced by many lights in the whole city.
"Ohh, that's why it's called the City of Light." Dean mutters.
"I have to get more convincing information, then I can decide to leave or not. Because, when we decided to leave, we couldn't come back here anymore" Dean said.
The City Leader nodded in understanding.
"If you make the wrong decision, it's a life bet, right?" The City Leader concluded.
"true." Dean nodded his head.
"I understand. That's what your friend Robert's team has been through, too. How many people are missing from his team?" ask the City Chief.
"Disappeared two people" replied Dean.
"At least I've already notified you of this information. They would lean on for a week, before leaving again," explained the City Chief.
"Is the city of the Swamp the city they are going to, or is it the city they have settled in?" ask Dean as much detail as possible.
"Tomorrow I'll ask one of my men to get detailed information."
The city chief was aware of the great danger Dean's team would face, if the information of the place was incomplete.
"All right.... Thank you very much. I look forward to more information tomorrow. I'll go home first."
Dean got up from his seat. Nodding his head slightly at the City Chief before turning around and stepping to the door.
Dean opened the door and was surprised to see Yoshi standing in front of the door. He held a tray with a glass in his hand. His body trembled a little. But Dean can see that.
"You okay? ask Dean.
He lifted Yoshi's chin which lowered to ensure his condition.
Yoshi doesn't care about Dean. He stepped quickly into the City Chief's room.
"What do you mean by saying about it? Do you want to keep me away from uncle?" ask Yoshi protest.
Dean stepped back in.
"It's not what your father meant. He just appreciates our hope that doesn't stop looking for a way home. Why do you always get the wrong idea?" Persuade Dean gently.
"Can't you just stay here?" ask Yoshi.
Yoshi blinked his eyes a few times. Holding back her tears so as not to spill.
Dean shook his head slowly. He can't promise Yoshi anything. And Dean's attitude makes Yoshi's defensive dike break down. He's crying right now.
Yoshi put down the tray in his hand then ran out of the room. Dean wanted to go after him. But prevented the City Chief.
"Give him time to think clearly" said the City Chief.
"All right."
Dean nodded lightly towards the city chief. Then get out of the big house. He should go home and discuss this with the rest of the team.
