SURVIVORS
Chaptre 90. Breakfast With Glenn
Finish breakfast.
Dean, Sunil and Alan enveloped their bodies with light. Dean shifted the large boulders that covered the cave. Hot air burst in with the smoke, making Widuri, Nastiti and Dewi cough. The three retreated to the hallway door. The cold air of the stone chamber was reducing the heat effect from the outside.
Alan, Sunil and Dean immediately darted and disappeared inside the hot smog that looked orange-grey overwritten by the sunlight. The visibility was only one meter from the mouth of the cave. The rest is just thick smoke.
The three lights rose and floated high to see how wide the impact of the O attack was last night. They flew to find the wreckage of the cottage they had built. Nothing survives in that place.
The three again darted in a further direction. Then they found the boundary of black fog and reddish-orange fog due to burning. They stopped and watched. The fog no longer moved forward wildly. It looks like a thick wall of fog.
Dean tried to touch her.
"How could this physical fog be touched?" said wonder.
"You're serious?"
O come touch the thickened wall of black fog.
"really weird. Previously this fog kept moving in our direction, now he is thickened and skinned like this. Ckckg.."
"Could this black fog be alive? Previously he was looking for prey, then protecting himself, or recovering from your attack O," Alan guessed.
"Eitherway. But I think this fog has retreated from the last time we checked. Looky. Doesn't that cottage rubble look very far away?" Dean floated up to confirm his estimate.
O came up, followed by Alan.
"You're right. This fog is retreating. This little world looks so big again."
"But it can't be inhabited anymore." Alan Timpal.
"Is the desert across the cave also the result of what you used to do?" Investigate Dean.
"I where? I'm who?"
Alan darted away along the boundary of the black fog followed by Sunil who laughed.
"So that's you guys huh? I don't know how many hundred years it's been, but it's still an arid desert." Dean chased after his two comrades while grumbling.
"You have to make the place worth living" he demanded.
The three of them continued down the black fog wall and stopped where the water was pouring. The water came out of the fog wall. It's higher now. That's the water they're pouring into the bathroom.
"Then, this water came from a small hill within this small world. Loading all our farmland. The hill was now covered by black fog. But the water still faithfully fulfills the task of living this little world." Dean stared at the clear water with sadness.
"Do we need to make the flow in different directions? Maybe it can make this land recover faster?" alan's Proposal.
"Later. We have to check all the boundaries of this place." Dean's back on the move.
They are now traversing an area that used to be a wheat field. The field looks huge again. Close to that, is a corn field that used to leave only dozens of stems. But now it looks wider than ever.
They continued moving until they finally arrived at the stone mountain wall. Dean floated higher to see the boundary of the black fog that normally covered the top of the stone mountain. And Dean stopped at an altitude of over 200 meters. The touch of thick black fog that thickened on the stone mountain wall. Dean went down to meet two of his colleagues.
"The "fog on the mountain also thickened. It used to be only about 10 to 20 meters from the cave door, we can already see the fog. Now the fog was pushed back to 200 meters upwards. You're great O," praised Dean.
Sunil nodded and smiled proudly.
They continue the examination. Passing through the door of the cave, saw the water pouring from the pond inside the cave that they used to use as a bath while living in the cave. Now the place looks wider and is not as dark as it looks. Maybe because it used to be mostly covered in black fog, to the bottom invisible. The three continued to descend checking the boundary of the black fog.
"Formerly in this area is maple forest as far as 1km ahead. The rest is a forest I haven't explored yet. To the right is a sheep field, to a small hill that drains water into the garden." A clearly remember the area of duty.
"The area behind the mountain is a meadow where the cows grow freely and comfortably. There is a stream of water from the rock mountain that divides the meadow area with vineyards, pears, apples, then plums bordering the cornfield." Dean looks very sad.
"Here you go, don't be sad anymore. When you die in the line of duty, your task is done. We and the world are gone. What matters now is the lives of the people whose bodies we occupy. We are a part of them. So it's time we fight to survive and drive them home" O said.
"I really want to know what their world is like. Is their world a new world emerging in place of our broken world? How many thousands of light-years passed did they appear?"
"Don't think. Let's go back to the three women and discuss the next plan" Sunil took with him as he flew towards the cave door, followed by Dean and Alan.

Ting..
The breakfast bell echoed in the mansion. It was heard up to the top floor, where Robert's team lived. They went down and talked cheerfully.
"Who?" reply Silvia.
"Mr Glenn. Host master. We haven't talked much with him yet" Angel replied quickly.
"It should be so." said Silvia indifferently.
"If he's around, you should talk about our itinerary, Robert."
Laras.
"Yes, I know. Just wait." Robert nodded his head.
The dining room was quiet, there were no servants. They sit and wait. Then Randal showed up.
"Good morning. Master invited you to breakfast on the side terrace. I show you the way" he said respectfully.
Randal turned around and walked out followed by team member Robert. They passed through a long hallway without walls. The columns are filled with vines with beautiful colorful flowers.
Then they arrived at another wing of the building that was previously forbidden for them to enter. It seems that this is the host's private residence. After passing through a comfortable sitting room, Randal finally opened a large door to the terrace. There the host was already waiting with the dishes already served on the table. A few loyal servants stood behind him, preparing to wait for orders.
"Ah, come. please sit." Mr. Glenn greeted kindly as he stood up from his seat.
Robert greeted his hand as he smiled.
"Thank you."
Robert gave Dr Chandra and the others a chance to greet and greet the host. Then they sit.
Glenn noticed Robert's attitude.
'It seems that he is not the leader of this group. They're just friends. Could it be that what he said last night was the truth?' thought Glenn.
The waiter began to get busy pouring warm and fragrant drinks from the teapot into everyone's cup. Then Glenn allowed me to start eating. He fed his food first.
"So how did you meet?" Glenn started a light conversation that morning.
Robert told me everything Glenn asked. Sometimes Chandra's doctor answers questions. Barrel answered a few questions. Others quietly listened while eating.
"Amazing. I really didn't know there was another world besides this one that I knew. Let alone an airplane vehicle that could transport hundreds of people by flying through the clouds." Glenn shook his head.
"Is it like a bird?" ask again.
"Yahh, like a big bird with 2 wings. But made of iron, with many glass windows, to be able to see the clouds. Inside there are chairs to sit on," answered Laras.
Niken asked Randal for a paper, then described the shape of the plane they were telling him about. The picture was received by Glenn from Randal. He looked at it with surprise. Now he can imagine how big the plane was thanks to Niken's image.
"If the contents can be hundreds of people, then only you survive. There are so many dead." Glenn showed a sad mimicry.
"It's really lucky you didn't get hurt when you fell from a height" Glenn said.
"We were slightly injured. But luckily there was a Chandra doctor who took care of us. Over time, the body becomes stronger and more resistant to mild disease," Robert smiled widely.
"Doctor Chandra, are you a healer who heals people?" glenn was interested.
"Well, that kind of thing. In our world, the doctor is a medical profession that is earned by a long education in formal schools. While healers are a medical profession with traditional and proven hereditary. Well, that's roughly the difference. Some diseases can be handled by healers, some others are handled by doctors. They have their own skills."
Glenn nodded in understanding after hearing the long explanation from doctor Chandra.
"Where do you want to go?" tanyakanya.
Answering such questions is not easy, because they really do not know which way to go.
"We want to go home, but we don't know which way to go to get home." Niken's eyes glazed over.
"We just need to keep going. Maybe someday we'll find the right door that brings us back home." Silvia answered loudly. Baras nodded in agreement.
Glenn watched Angel who kept silent and lowered his head. It was as if he was not in this room. Keep enjoying the food, while occasionally sighing long. His cheeks were red in the morning sunlight.
'Truly looks like Aymee, but her skin is browner' she thought sadly.
