The Wear Apocalypse Book
11
Jean drives an off road car that she has modified, also not forgetting to take out her katana and put it on her back. Linda sat beside him nervously.
"Linda show me the way." Jean was actually also very nervous but was trying to calm her mind. The streets were filled with people running in haste, some shops seemed to be forcibly opened from outside and people were snatching each other for goods.
"Miss turn left." Linda pointed out the road leading out of town. Jean turns her car in that direction, the street seems deserted and leaves only the car waiting in line without its owner. Jean was forced to drive off the asphalt.
"Please!"
"Please!" A woman's voice asking for help rang out from the front, making Jean's hands break out in cold sweat.
'Master in front of about 200 meters there is one zombie that is still level 1, this is a good opportunity.' The system tells Jean.
'Can you give me that necklace now? I'm very nervous.' Jean again urges the system, but the system is silent. Jean can only condemn the system.
Jean then sees a woman running towards her car in despair and behind her the corpse of a man walking after her. When the woman saw Jean her eyes shone as if finding her savior.
"Help me! Please!" The woman screamed and ran with her full strength towards Jean.
"Linda wait in the car, don't go anywhere." Jean got out and stopped the car. The woman was shocked to see Jean get out of her car.
"Are you stupid!? Why did you get out of the car?" The woman ran and yelled at Jean. Jean ignores the woman's anger and takes her katana.
The woman gets closer to Jean, Jean then takes the position of the horses and remembers every movement that the system has transmitted.
'Don't be nervous, Jean, just think of killing a chicken. It was a chicken not a zombie' Jean tried to imagine that the zombie was a chicken.
'It's obvious it's a zombie but you insist it's a chicken.' The system suddenly upsets Jean.
'Be quiet! Don't screw up!' Jean scolds the system.
The woman gets closer to Jean and then passes by Jean. When he saw Jean still in the same position and not running, he stopped.
"Foolish girl hurry up and escape!" The woman screams but Jean still doesn't budge.
"Don't blame me if you die!" The woman left Jean with a bitter expression.
'5... 4...' Jean counted down and clasped tightly onto her katana when she saw the zombies rushing towards her.
'3... 2... 1...' Jean took a few steps forward and slashed the zombie head with a single slash. Blood splattered on the ground, leaving traces of zombies lying on the ground with heads separated from his body.
'Chicken.. This is chicken..' Jean was still in the same position and tried to calm down but then she couldn't stand it because all the food she had digested today went up to the throat, Jean then spewed it all out.
'Congratulations to you for killing the zombie for the first time. Please take out the tranquilizer necklace in the system storage box.' System notification sound is heard.
Linda had seen everything from inside the car, when she saw Jean vomit, she immediately rushed out of the car and approached Jean.
"Miss is Miss okay?" Linda did not care about the zombie corpse lying in front of her.
"Ugh. I'm fine, I'm trying to adapt." Jean tries to get rid of the nausea and secretly takes the necklace from the system and puts it on. A warm sensation came out of the necklace and made Jean's shrunken face slowly relax.
Jean then returned to look at the zombie corpse lying on the ground. There was no more nausea hitting him like that, as if he was just looking at a slain animal. He then swung his katana once again and split the zombie head into 2 parts.
"Miss?" Linda was stunned when she saw how easily Jean adapted. Jean then tries to find the crystal nucleus in the zombie brain with her bare hands. Anyone who first saw her would think that Jean was too savage.
"It's so disgusting!" Jean manages to remove the crystal core that looks clear with blood stains that contaminate the crystal. Linda had averted her eyes from earlier and did not dare to look at what Jean was doing. Jean then wipes her hands and crystals that are dirty due to zombie blood with a cloth located in the car.
"What's that thing?" Linda asked curiously as she looked at the crystal that Jean had cleaned.
"This is a crystal located in the zombie brain. It could be used to improve capabilities and would also be a currency that would be used frequently later." Answer Jean.
"Where do girls know things like this?" Linda felt astonished, as if Jean already knew what the future would bring.
"Let's just say I can predict the future." Jean replied faintly. He couldn't tell that he wasn't from this world, otherwise he might end up in the lab.
"Miss won't she change clothes?" Linda noticed Jean's blood-stained clothes.
"Let it go, I don't have a spare suit anyway." Jean said, there was a slightly proud tone in Jean's speech.
'If they knew you were shaking and imagined killing a chicken the first time they killed a first level zombie, they'd laugh at you' The sound of the system sounded disdainful.
'Leave it, after all they won't know.' Jean was in a good mood so she had no intention of arguing with the system. Jean and Linda are preparing to continue their journey.
"Wait!!" The woman that the zombies were chasing earlier stopped them. Jean just glanced at him and prepared to enter the car.
"Say wait! Are you deaf?!" The woman held Jean's car door.
"What do you want? I don't know you." Jean disliked this woman from the first time she saw her.
"Bring me with me!" The woman screamed as if she was commanding Jean. Jean frowned unhappily.
"Is this how you ask for help? But I'm sorry I didn't welcome you." Jean immediately closed the door without caring about the woman who kept scolding Jean.
'Master, the woman is the real antagonist.' the system tells Jean.
As Jean remembered the name of the female antagonist was Olivia Holland. If Jean is innocent cannon fodder then Olivia is the real villain. Olivia herself is the white moonlight of the male protagonist, she is envious of Emma who gets protection from Lane. Olivia repeatedly traps Emma so she also has a very sad ending. Jean feels no pity at all as a fellow cannon fodder, Olivia is indeed destined to be born with an arrogant attitude, she also does not want to be a hero of misfortune.
"Miss why did the lady save him but not bring the woman?" Linda asked, interrupting Jean's thoughts, a little confused.
"Aunt Linda at a time like this don't feel sorry for someone easily, we don't know if they'll stab us in the back or not. That woman is too arrogant." Linda was silent and no longer commented. Jean sighed, she felt Linda was too soft.
Along the way, Jean again kills 2 zombies and has collected 3 crystals. Jean is not disappointed that the apocalypse has not really come and that is why the number of zombies has not increased by leaps and bounds.
"Linda how are your parents? Can they still be contacted?" Jean still has not found the bus that Linda's parents boarded.
"Yet. Last time they said they were waiting on the bus and then their phone went off, it looks like my mom's phone ran out of battery power." Linda held her phone tightly.
After more than half an hour of driving, Jean and Linda finally find a bus that matches the description of the bus Linda's parents were riding. Linda got out of the car and walked towards the empty-looking bus with a little anxiety, she was afraid that both her parents had left.
"Mother? Daddy's? Are you guys inside?" Linda shouted, she did not dare to enter the bus directly. Jean just sat waiting in the car, she already knew that there were some people hiding in the bus.
"Linda?" An old woman peeked inside to make sure.
"Mom, I'm here to save you." Linda's parents came out with three other adults.
"Based on a broom beast!" The old woman hurriedly slapped Linda on the cheek. Linda was shocked when her face was hot from her mother's slap.
"What are you doing?" Jean glares at Linda's mother.
"Who are you? You have no right to interfere in our affairs!" It was clear that Linda's mother had been harassing Linda so much that she didn't feel guilty at all.
"Mother stop, she's my master." Linda said with mixed feelings, between disappointment and embarrassment.
"really?" Linda's mother softens her voice when she finds out Jean is Linda's employer. She knew that Linda was working in a domineering family in the town of J, and she did not expect that Linda's employer would intervene to pick them up.
"Yes ma'am, this is my master Jean Barker."
"Miss barker I'm sorry, I didn't know miss was Linda's employer." Linda's mother changed her voice like a sycophant. Jean just looked at her nonchalantly, ignoring Linda's mother's apology.
"There are only 4 seats in the car, so only 2 are left." Jean hinted that of the five only two people could go with her. Jean gets back in the car and waits for what will happen next.
"Mrs Grant my son is seriously ill, can the madam let me go first?" A woman begged anxiously.
"No way, you saw for yourself that the one who picked me up was my son Linda. You just find someone else." Linda's mother refused.
"Mom, daddy, let's go." Linda brought her mother and father's suitcase.
"Mrs Grant I beg you, I'll pay your favor." The woman was crying while on her knees.
"How will you repay my kindness?" Linda's mother asked arrogantly as if the woman was incapable.
"Ak-u I'll give you my jewelry and money, so please." The woman hurriedly took out her gold jewelry and money. The eyes of Linda's father and mother sparkled when they saw the gold jewelry.
"Humph! All right I'm giving you a passenger seat." Linda's mother spoke arrogantly as if she hadn't noticed the gold.
"Give me the gold." Jean's father orders her to hand over her gold in a hurry as if she's afraid Linda's mother changes her mind.
"Dad??" Linda doesn't believe her parents would be like this.
"What?! You wanna fight? Besides we don't have to go with your employer, I've got the car keys up front so there's no need to go with your boss who doesn't know manners!"
"Dad she's still my master." Linda cries when her parents insult Jean.
"Look at the current state, sooner or later your master will fall poor!" Linda's father said in a derogatory tone, after all he is not an illiterate person, he already knows that this chaos will bring down big companies.
Jean who heard from afar could only sneer in her heart.
'Is that man cursing me into poverty? Let's see who's gonna crawl for mercy.'
'Do you not want to help Linda?' System inquires.
'I can't. He had already made the decision from the beginning that he would follow his parents.' Jean's mood was so bad, she felt like she wanted to strangle someone.
Linda lowered her head, she did not dare to face Jean.
"Suami let's go soon." Ms. Grant pulled Linda's hand and entered another car located not far from the bus.
"Miss can we ride in your car?" The woman approached Jean, even though she had paid but she knew that if the owner of the car would not give her a ride she would not be able to do much.
"Get it." Seeing the woman made Jean feel a little pity so she immediately forgot about Linda's matter.
"What's your name? And they are?" Jean noticed one child aged about 7 years and one teenager aged about 12 years who seemed to have been silent.
"My name is Naomi Warren, both my sons are Jacob Warren and one is Colin Warren. "Colin's mute so sorry if Colin can't say hello to Miss Jean." Naomi introduced her two sons to Jean.
"It's okay." Jean smiled kindly at Naomi's two sons. Jean then starts her car and continues on.
