SURVIVORS
Chaptre 62. Gaining a Treasure
For quite a while the two squatted on the cave floor even though the mechanical sound was already inaudible.
"Is it safe Dean?" whiskey Widuri.
Dean raised his head looking around. There was no floor open or arrows shot to kill them. Dean immediately straightened up to see what was happening above. Widuri got up from the floor and looked at the stone tub.
"Dean, that's.." point Widuri at the wall.
Dean got up and saw there were niches on the right and left walls of the pool. Dean stepped closer while directing the light crystal to make it clearer.
"Waahh, this is a weapon!" Dean cried happily as he reached out his hand.
"Stop! Careful trap. That thing wasn't there. If it can be taken by anyone, then this person does not need to hide it with a mechanical system." Widuri warned while holding Dean's outstretched hand.
Dean nodded and pulled his hand again. Then observe the object in the niche carefully.
"Do you know what that gun is?" ask Widuri.
"There are some. The first thing I made sure was a long sword. It looks like there is a short sword as well. There was also a weapon whose blade was curved in a semicircle. Meanwhile, that's what's clear. Others are just piled up" replied Dean.
"How does he have that many weapons? Is he a blacksmith?" Widuri thought hard.
"Eh, in that hole there seems to be something as well. Let's see." Widuri walked to the other cave wall followed by Dean.
"What do you think it is?" point Widuri at some of the things that are there.
Dean shakes no idea. He observed the small space at a glance.
"If we don't check, how do we know?" Dean looked at Widuri seriously.
"What's wrong?" tanya Widuri was confused.
"You stay away first. Go there," Dean ordered.
"What do you want? don't be reckless." Widuri won't move.
Dean dragged him 20 steps away. Releasing Widuri's hand and looking at her sharply.
"You wait here. I have to get those weapons. Prepare to take what I throw. If it's dangerous, then run back to the cave." Dean spoke firmly and then turned around.
Widuri followed from behind.
"Dee!"
Dean turned around with an angry face.
"Follow my orders! If you're stubborn, it'll only harm me. Go there!" dean said rudely while pushing Widuri away.
Widuri could not believe she was being yelled at and pushed violently which made her almost fall. Enrage exploded.
"Fines. If you die, what do I care!" Widuri turned around running away and disappeared in an instant.
Dean shook his head slowly and prepared to pick up the weapon that was there. Dean estimated that if there was a trap for the person who took the tomb treasure, then the trap might be under his feet or it could be on the wall around the stone tub. Dean estimated the position that he thought was quite safe from various traps that if installed.
Dean's right hand rested on the edge of the water-filled stone tub assuming, if the trap hole under his feet opened, he could hang on to the stone tub. Dean's trying not to touch the surface of the water again. Then his left hand stretched out toward the niche that held the various weapons. It quickly grabbed the sword hilt in sight and pulled it out of the niche. Some other weapons were pulled out. Dean lowered his head while tightly holding the edge of the tub of water.
Dean waited for the floor under his feet to open, but nothing happened. All that was heard was the sound of some objects falling clanking on the floor. Dean could clearly see the shape of the semicircular weapon now. There is a wooden handle in the middle.
Dean raised his head and realized that there was no trap in that place. 'Maybe it's just an ordinary storage area' Dean thought in relief.
Take out all the things in that niche. Observing all kinds of weapons. Some look unusual to Dean. After all, Dean was not a martial arts expert, let alone a weapons expert. But Dean was quite happy to get this treasure.
"Check, come..!" Dean's scream echoed calling Widuri.
Dean then stepped into the other niche. He picked up an object made of wood. Dean opened his leash and Dean's eyes grew.
"Aahh, this is a wooden roll. But I don't understand the writing here" Dean murmured.
He saw the writing he did not understand. 'Which planet's language is this?' thought confused.
"Dean, dean, what's up?" Widuri's voice and the sound of her running steps sounded earlier than the person.
Dean looked towards the voice. Before long the panicked face of Widuri appeared there. Widuri glued to see Dean who was holding something.
"I found this. Maybe a note or a book. But I don't understand the language." Dean thrust the wooden scroll in his hand at Widuri.
Widuri received and dried it instantly shriveled. "What language is this?"
Dean shrugged, then examined the other objects in that niche. There were a few more wooden scrolls neatly arranged in place. Dean didn't pick it up, because he didn't understand the language.
Dean picked up one of several small bottles of pottery that were there. Open the lid carefully. Smelling fragrant herbs came out of the bottle. Dean shut it down again.
"You what is that?" ask Widuri.
"Maybe the drug supplies," replied the original Dean.
"What medicine?" Widuri.
"Yes, I don't know. I am not a doctor or pharmacist. The writings here are also unreadable, how can I know who that person is or what medicine." Dean's relaxed answer so made Widuri's irritation appear again.
"You're this. Why do you always talk to me?" Widuri was very upset.
"Who's sniffy? I'll answer for what it is." Dean was confused to see Widuri's temperament being easy on emotion.
"Do you have a problem? Your emotions are unstable." Dean asked in passing.
But that only makes Widuri more angry.
"What is your business with my emotions and problems. You're the problem, rough and tight. Heartless!" Widuri leaves Dean still shocked.
Dean is dumbstruck, 'Am I heartless? Rough and cranky?'. Dean threw away his thoughts and went back to inspect the other objects. There's just a jug and other bottles with markers that Dean doesn't understand. Dean left all of that in place, except for one wooden roll that would be shown to the other team members.
Dean's hauling some weapons he can carry. The others left him lying on the floor. Widuri should have helped carry her, but she had already left angrily.

"What's wrong? Where's Dean?" alan asked who saw Widuri appear alone while crying.
"What do I care, just let him die." Widuri said harshly and ran out of the cave.
"What?!" Alan and Sunil were shocked.
"Sunil, let me look inside, you wait here." Alan ran into the hallway anxiously.
"Dean, Dean.Where are you?" alan shouted as he arrived at the crossroads.
"I'm here." Dean's voice came from the right. Alan turned to follow.
"Ohh, shit," Dean's voice was accompanied by a clanging sound on the cave floor, making Alan run to get there immediately.
"Dean! What's going on?" Alan finally found Dean who was bending over picking up something on the floor.
Dean picked up the fallen weapon, but his hand was too full, so it fell back.
"Hey, help me get him. I found a treasure," Dean smiled widely.
Alan couldn't believe it, but he helped her immediately.
"Where did you find him?" alan asked while helping to bring some things.
"In there. There are others, but I can't lift them all. Widuri left after getting angry, " Dean grumbled unhappily.
"Let me see there first. Wait a minute Dean."
Alan ran in. Soon there was a sound of laughter.
"We finally have a gun. Haha.. This is a very precious treasure."
Alan laughed happily. He picked up the rest of the weapons and then returned to follow Dean. They talked happily along the way. Arriving at the intersection, Dean was dumbstruck, 'is it going to check in that direction now, or just tomorrow?' thought.
"Alan, you take all this to the cave. I want to check the hallway over there," Dean said, putting his luggage on the floor.
Alan wanted to argue, but Dean's eyes showed seriousness. Finally Alan nodded and left.
"After moving all this, I'll catch up with you." Alan passed.
