SURVIVORS

Chapters 310. Do What We Can

Not to mention reaching the island, from a distance, a breathtaking view is seen along the pier and the beach. While from the direction of the island, a great fire occurred. The place changed color to orange reddish. Tongue fire licked wild. While the smoke is high.

"There's nothing to do anymore" Robert said.

The entire island they did not know had been engulfed in flames. The dark night turned bright.

"Let's get closer.there may still be humans living in the water," Dean said.

Although pessimistic, Robert and Sunil still fly closer. The hot air was already felt even though their distance to the beach was 100 meters away. The three circled the island from a height. Look for people who might still be able to save themselves in the sea water.

"Look! The boat floated apart and did not burn. Maybe there's someone there!" shouted Sunil.

"Be careful. We don't want to surprise them." Dean reminded.

Sunil came down slowly, but still from quite a distance away. With her blue eyes, she scoured the rowing boat that was swaying with the waves.

"Nobody's moving in there!" sunil said through voice transmission.

They approached the boat. Its bows are blackened and still smoky. Dean immediately pulled out a little water and watered the boat. Instantly came out white smoke from the screen pole that was splashed with water.

There were no people around the boat either.

"Try pulling the boat. Let's see if anyone's hiding under him" Robert suggested.

Dean pulled the boat two meters from its spot. Sunil and Robert looked out for dark sea water.

"Nobody's here!" report Robert.

"Nobody survived here. How horrifying. And in my opinion, they are also impossible to survive in the water. Because the water temperature must also increase. Unless they dive to a certain depth. But how long will it last?" said Dean.

"How now?" ask Sunil.

"We'll just go back! The first priority is to guard the island we live on. Tomorrow we try to find another island," Dean broke up.

"alright. Come on!" bring Sunil.

"Wait a minute!" prevent Robert.

"Can't we take that boat to the island? Maybe it can be used by Sulaiman or Leon," said Robert.

"Well, just take it," Dean broke up.

Robert got off and landed on a small boat that only fit two people. He felt, his boat in the land of blue dwarves, much bigger than that.

Robert found the peddler. Then pull the anchor that holds the boat so it does not drift everywhere.

"Come on!" said Robert.

Dean and Sunil shook their heads.

"You want to paddle, when will it arrive?" tease Sunil.

"The good grip. Let me just pull it," Alan said.

They returned to the island. Robert can't put a boat on the dock. Because the old pier was also almost eaten by fire. There's still a skeleton standing there. It was exactly the anticipation Dean made. Immediately flush almost the entire island, the possibility of a great fire, can be avoided.

The boat was raised to the sand of the beach. Anchor straps are removed to hold the boat as the water rises later. They went back to Leon's.

"There's a fire, Dean!" exclaim Sunil.

Dean darted quickly towards the sea and pulled water to flush the burning bush area. Dean did it over and over again until all the places there were soaking wet.

"Let's go back! Everything has been watered," asked Sunil.

Everyone rested because they were tired that night. Alan is not awake. Sulaiman, who had previously woken up, went back to sleep after being persuaded by Chandra.

The air that night felt stuffy. Not as clean as usual. Doors and windows are wide open for air to flow smoothly, cooling the house.

*

The silent morning. Only the wind caressed. There is no song of birds that mark the sun. They woke up, except for Sulaiman. He stood on the edge of the cliff towards the sea. Pensive silence.

Robert came out to find it.

"Are you up early, or are we all having bad luck?" greet Robert friendly.

"Is what happened yesterday, really bad?" Sulaiman asked without regard to Robert's greeting.

"Yeah ... very bad. This island too, will burn up, if we don't go back and forth watering it."

Sulaiman walked up the stairs. He just shut up. I don't know what's on his mind right now.

"Do you want to go back now? Better have breakfast with us first, here," Robert bargained.

"I must see my garden" Sulaiman refused.

"Ah, about the garden .. actually Sunil was forced to harvest it yesterday. He did everything he could, so you wouldn't lose too much. All the crops are in the house" explained Robert.

"really?" Sulaiman turned around and looked at Robert with an expression of disbelief.

"You can see for yourself. But, yahh ..may not be as much as it should be. Because the hot air had burned everything else first" Robert said.

"Your friend has helped me. I thank you. If you weren't here, I might be lifeless like those dead birds!" sulaiman.

"What's? Where did the bird die?" asked Robert astonished.

"You can find bird carcasses everywhere."

Sulaiman went down the steps.

"Tell your friend, I'll go home first. And thank you for your help."

Sulaiman walked away without being prevented again.

Robert curiously, flew around the residence. Sure enough, there are a lot of rat carcasses all over the island. Robert returned to Leon's residence.

There, the women were busy in the kitchen. Alan is awake. His face was refreshed and could already bother Niken as well as Cloudy.

Robert reported what he saw.

"Finished breakfast we bury everything. Or it'll be the cause of the disease" Dean said.

"That's right. A large number of carcasses if not buried or burned, will cause disease." Dr Chandra supports Dean's decision.

"If you want to be buried, find a place far away from here, Dean. Or we'll just burn it to dust" Alan suggested.

"We'll see how much we find" Dean said.

That part, finished breakfast, Indra, Doctors Chandra and Leon, went to make a closed cage for their cattle.

While Dean, Alan, Sunil and Robert, came out to comb the entire area of the island. They must collect all the dead animals.

In another part of the island. About 200 meters from the dam site, Dean has made a large hole to accommodate all the carcasses of wild animals found. Alan, Robert and Sunil have been tossing their findings back and forth.

By noon, Dean was surprised to see what Alan had thrown into the hole.

"Why is there a fish?" asked Dean in wonder.

"On the beach, full of fish carcasses. And you know for yourself. The fish died due to the rising water temperature, boiling them. And the smell .. Oh my goodness. I really can't stand it," Alan fought with a bitter face.

"In that case, quickly comb the entire shore! Don't complain anymore" Dean said.

"Yes .. yeah, I'm leaving."

Dean could still hear Alan's grunts. He also immediately checked the beach overgrown with mangrove trees near the dam. Sure enough, there were so many fish carcasses caught between the roots and the trunk of the tree. Dean was cleaning up the whole place.

By midday, the exhausting work was done as well. The hole was closed again with a pile of soil.

Thank goodness there was no more heat wave. So they can feel relieved. I hope there is no second time.

"Dean, what about the island we saw yesterday?" ask Sunil.

"It's very risky to see it during the day. Later that night we'll see what we can do" Dean replied.

"Hopefully the government has sent officers to check," Alan said.

"I'm not sure. Because this heatwave attack must have hit many countries around the world. So, the main concern of the government is in sight first. The capital, big cities, big islands, new remote areas" Robert said sadly.

"No need to speculate. We'll see you tonight, and do what we can. The other party how, it's up to them. Don't mind!" Dean advises.

"alright. Now what are we gonna do about it?" ask Alan.

"We help Sulaiman. Come on!"
