The Wear Apocalypse Book
12
During the trip Jean finally found out that Naomi was a widow with 3 children, her first child lived with her grandparents and she got the news that her oldest child was sick, so he immediately went on the same bus as Linda's mother.
"How was it last time?" Jean asked.
"I don't know, the last time her grandmother said she had a high fever so I'm really worried right now."
Jean does not find a single zombie on the way, he is only repeatedly confronted by some people who ask for a ride.
"Is this the apartment?" Jean sees an old apartment, most of its white walls peeled off as it is eaten by time.
"Yes miss. Does Miss want to follow us?" Naomi dropped her youngest child out of the car.
"All right, I'm coming." Jean decides to follow Naomi, after all she is not in a hurry to go home to ease her bad mood. Jean takes the elevator and arrives at the 11th floor where Naomi's parents live.
"Mom? Daddy's? Open this door I'm Naomi!" Naomi knocked on the front door. Then there were hurried footsteps from within. Mrs Warren opened the door.
"Naomi you finally came, Aria's fever did not go down at all and now her fever has touched the number 39°C." Mrs Warren seemed very worried. Naomi goes straight in with her son and looking for her daughter in the room, she seems to have forgotten Jean who is behind her. Jean could only wait outside.
'Master seems the boy is infected, if he is unable to survive then he will become a zombie.' the system tells Jean. Jean was on guard.
"Whose name?" Mrs Warren asks when she realizes that a stranger is coming with Naomi.
"I'm Jean, I'm the one who brought Naomi here." Answer Jean.
"Thank you, madam. Come on, come on in, sorry it looks like Naomi was so worried that she forgot to bring you in." Jean enters and sits in the living room, Jean then looks around Naomi's narrow parents' apartment.
"It's okay. Can I see Naomi's sick child?" Jean wanted to see how the virus infects.
"Sure, follow me." Mrs Warren escorts Jean into a crowded room full of Naomi's entire family.
Jean watched Naomi's son lying sick in his bed. Her lips looked dry and bright red due to her extremely hot body temperature, while her face had paled with sweat that kept pouring down the pillow she was wearing.
'Is there a system to prevent him from becoming a zombie?' Jean takes pity on Naomi who is working hard by repeatedly applying warm compresses of water to her daughter's forehead, hoping that her daughter's body temperature drops.
'Actually there is a way but the chances are very low.'
'What is that?' Naomi appeared to have been desperate, her parents repeatedly contacted the hospital, but the hospital seemed to be very busy.
'Master could save him by triggering his ability. But unfortunately to trigger the ability on its own requires the accumulation of many crystals, very few people trigger the ability with only 3 crystals. If there is then that person will experience ease in breaking through the next level.' what the system means by the small possibility is due to the number of crystals that Jean holds only 3.
'Can't we try it? Besides if I kill him now then I will bear the Warren family's hatred.' The system no longer answers.
"Naomi I might be able to cure her but the chances of her healing will be very small."
"Miss Jean?" Naomi remembered Jean. " I'm sorry I forgot about you." Naomi seems embarrassed not to remember Jean.
"Can I try it?" Jean asked again.
"certain." Naomi isn't sure but she still lets Jean get close to her daughter.
'How can I trigger his ability?' Jean asked the system again.
'That was also a problem, as it could only be done by a conscious person to absorb the crystal. If you can make her aware, have her hold the crystal and imagine a light from her hand flowing into her body' the system replies.
'Why didn't you tell me before? Do you want to humiliate me?! ' Jean was frustrated. Naomi was astonished by Jean's silence.
So he thought something was wrong.
"Miss Jean?"
"I'll try it so please don't blame me if it doesn't work." Jean then realizes that she has been quiet for too long.
"It's okay, miss. I don't know how to save my own daughter, anyway." Naomi seems to have resigned herself to the circumstances.
"Just pray that I can save your daughter. Can you tell me what your daughter's name is? " Jean has a bold idea but he doesn't know if this will work or not.
"My daughter's name is Aria Warren." Naomi doesn't know what Jean is going to do but she still answers Jean's question, and there's no harm in telling Jean.
'What will you do with his name?' system asks.
'Just shut up and look.'
"Aria, are you listening to me? If you move your finger." Jean tried to summon Aria's consciousness.
'It seems like master has been fooled by a scene like this in the novel.' The system does not seem optimistic. Jean ignores the system and continues to call Aria.
Inside the sea of consciousness Aria seemed to have unintentionally heard someone calling her. The voice did not sound clear but he tried to reach the voice until he knew what he wanted to say. "Male if you listen to me, please move your finger." Aria tried to take control of her body.
'I told you it wouldn't matter. ' The system speech stopped when he saw Aria had moved her finger.
"Aria please listen to me, keep your consciousness." Jean was delighted when the trick worked. Jean then took the crystal she had stored in her pocket and placed it in Aria's hand.
"This thing is the light that will save you, imagine this light coming in and flowing into your body." Aria seemed to understand and clasped the crystal.
Naomi is excited when Aria is a little conscious but she doesn't understand why Jean put a crystal in her daughter's hand. He does not prevent Jean and only observes what Jean will do next.
Aria seems to be having a bit of trouble but she is still trying and about 5 minutes later Aria finally succeeds and tries to absorb the crystal. Jean also notices every crystal change that starts to dull and then begins to crack and crumble into dust in Aria's hands. Naomi looked dumbfounded when she saw the change.
Jean gives the second crystal and Aria smoothly absorbs it, but Jean is not at all happy, because the crystal is only one left and it is her last hope.
'May this be your luck.' Jean puts the last crystal in Aria's hand and she can only hope that Aria manages to awaken her ability with the last crystal. The system no longer bothered Jean because she was afraid that Jean would taunt her for not believing.
Crystal slowly began to look dull but Aria was still lying pale, Jean also started to lose her hope this time. When the crystal started to crack, a miracle appeared! aria's face no longer seemed to be pale and her body temperature slowly started to return to normal. The crystal had been shattered into dust.
Aria opened her eyes and looked around.
"Mother? Is this really mom?" Aria's voice sounded hoarse.
"Mia??" Naomi immediately checked Aria's body temperature.
"My grandchild! Are you feeling all right?" Mrs Warren immediately asked.
"Say something to grandpa if you feel bad." Mr. Warren stood beside Aria.
"Sister, is your brother healed?" Jacob also asked and Colin held Aria's hand.
"I'm fine." Aria got up and sat on her bed.
"Male don't force yourself." Naomi was a little worried when she saw her son wake up as if he had no pain at all.
"Mom I'm fine." Naomi forces Aria to lie down, Aria then gives up and lies back on her bed so that her mother does not worry.
'Have you forgotten that we are indeed in the novel.' The system feels stupid and wants to scratch its head if it has a head.
"Miss Jean I owe you one more time. Does the lady want to ask for something for payment?" Naomi felt very grateful because she had met Jean.
"No need, I don't need payment."
"But.. " Naomi feels bad.
"It's okay, after all I'll feel humiliated if you pay my kindness with money." Jean refused again.
"Then what can I do?" If Jean doesn't get paid then Naomi wants to do something to return the favor.
"I'm actually a little hungry so can you cook something for me?" Jean touches her empty stomach, forgetting to have lunch at home before leaving.
"Ah?? I'm sorry, I don't serve food or even drinks. Please wait a minute." Naomi asks Mrs Warren to look after Aria, then rushes to cook in the kitchen.
"Miss thank you for saving our granddaughter once again, sorry if we don't serve you well." Grandpa Jean thanked me once again.
"Don't thank me too much, I help you sincerely."
"Aria how are you feeling now? Do you not feel pain?" Jean asked.
"i'm fine, I feel like my body is full of energy." Reply Aria. Jean actually somewhat objected to being called an aunt but given that her mother married young and her age was not far away, Jean did not protest at all.
"Try to put that energy in the palm of your hand." Jean wondered what kind of power Aria had. Aria tried to bring out her strength and the palm of aria was slowly covered in metal.
"What is this thing? Is this dangerous?" Mistress Warren was frightened when she saw Aria's palm becoming metal.
"No, it's really good. At least Aria's life is a little assured in the future." Mrs Warren doesn't understand what Jean means. Colin and Jacob play with Aria's hand that has become metal.
"What do you mean, miss?" Ask Mr. Warren.
"You know about the virus that's spreading right now. What Aria shows will be able to make herself even you guys safe in the future." Mr and Mrs Warren now understand what Jean meant.
"But Aria still has a lot to practice, her ability now can only cover her palms." Jean continued, Aria then tried to get used to removing and removing the metal in her hands.
"What about aunt? Does your aunt have the same abilities as me?" Jean was still not used to being called an aunt, for some reason it felt a little awkward.
'Your life is now 24 years old, so according to system analysis.. '
'I know, I know! But it's also your fault for not managing my age to be a girl!' Jean cut off the speech
the system.
'But it is impossible to put the soul of an adult into the body of a girl.' System word.
"Yes aunt also has abilities." Jean was a little awkward when calling herself aunty. The system slightly suspects that Jean is suffering from the Cinderella Complex.
"Can aunt show me?" Jean feels familiar with scenes like this when stared at by Naomi's three children. Jean then let out a mini lightning bolt in her hand.
"Aunt Jean can I catch him?" Jean instantly removed the lightning in her hand when Jacob asked. He remembers that Liam's behavior is similar to Naomi's children.
System : '....' Did Jean develop a phobia of children? System wonders. Systems are not very expert when dealing with human psychology problems.
"Jacob it can't be held." Seeing the face of Jacob who wanted to cry, Madam Warren immediately carried her tiny body.
"No! I want to hold it!!" Jacob cried and began to rebel.
'Thank God I thought she was black-bellied just like Liam' Jean sighed with relief.
Systems that do not understand Jean's way of thinking: '..... '
"Mother what's wrong? Why is Jacob crying?" Naomi came in a hurry when she heard Jacob crying. Mrs Warren immediately told Naomi the cause.
"really? Miss Jean does such an ability really exist?" Naomi could not believe what her mother had told her. Jean again let out a bolt of lightning in her hand.
"Mother I want to touch her!!" Jacob cried again when he saw the lightning in Jean's hand.
"Jacob can't be touched." Naomi is helpless at Jacob's request.
"Why do you want to touch it?" Mr. Warren asked Jacob.
"That's because I saw it in the light bulb in the barn. I wanted to touch it so I broke the light bulb but it disappeared when I broke it with a baseball bat." Jacob answered while crying.
Jean finally understood, and he looked at the wall and found a lizard.
"Jacob look carefully." Jean then placed the lizard in her hand that had been filled with mini lightning. An unpleasant burning smell spread throughout Aria's room.
"So don't touch things like this in the future." Jean threw the burned lizard into the trash. Jacob was stunned and no longer cried when he saw the lizard die from the mini lightning in Jean's hand.
"Miss Jean sorry to bother you. I'm done cooking so let's follow me." Naomi escorts Jean to the sink first to wash her hands, she is afraid that Jean secretly feels disgusted at having held something that she says the rich never hold.
Jean sits at a narrow dinner table with the Warren family but is not at all uncomfortable because she has experienced a similar life before.
"Miss Jean I'm sorry that I only cook with potluck vegetables." Seeing Jean sitting at the table, Naomi again felt bad.
"It's okay, I can eat anything." Jean said honestly, but Naomi still thought that Jean was just being polite so as not to hurt her.
"Can I discuss something personally with Aria?" Jean said as she finished the meal on her plate.
"certain." Naomi doesn't know what Jean wants to tell her son but she doesn't plan on eavesdropping on Jean's conversation with her daughter.
"Miss Jean is it over?" Naomi asked when she saw Jean coming out.
"Yes I'm done."
"Miss Jean will miss home? Why not just stay at my house?" Naomi noticed that the sky had darkened due to overcast, plus the time had shown at 5 p.m.
"Sorry Naomi I can't stay. My family will also be worried if I don't come back today." Jean was right because Merril and the others had panicked because Jean had appeared and there was no word from Jean.
Jean pretends to take something in the car and hands it to Naomi.
"Take this. You may have trouble in the future for not keeping supplies." Jean hands over the canned food that would probably be able to support the Warren family for a month.
"Miss Jean doesn't need to." Jean leaves and does not accept Naomi's refusal.
"Miss Jean I will remember your kindness." Naomi said as she waved at Jean.
