The Wear Apocalypse Book
Collaborating with the military

Working with the military.

Adam has arrived at his home safely although Noel is repeatedly irritated by Lane's indifference to ordinary people asking for help.

"Adam are you okay?" Ask Mrs Brown.

"I'm doing fine. What about mom? Are any of you infected?"

"Nothing but your grandfather was very panicked and accidentally spurred his heartbeat." Answer Mrs Brown.

"Aunt how are you?" Lane smiled politely.

"Lane? Why are you here? Aren't you on duty in N?" Mrs Brown was shocked when she saw Lane who had been out of sight for a long time.

"I moved here last week so I'm sorry I didn't tell Brown's family." Said Lane.

"Then how's the Potter family?"

"As usual I was busy in the army, plus events like this would keep him very busy. Mommy's probably in the research." The Lane family is so famous in the military that even his great-grandfather belongs to the ranks of heroes who have protected the country decades ago.

"Your families are so busy, I haven't even met your mother in 7 years." Mrs Brown complained to Lane.

"I myself met the last mother 3 years ago, mother was very crazy about her research." Said Lane

"Let's go in. Don't stand outside." Take Mrs Brown. Lane and his subordinates enter Adam's house.

"Botten boy, is this you?" Grandpa Adam had regained consciousness and was sitting in his wheelchair.

"Come here I want to see your ugly face."

"Old man how are you?" Lane kneels in front of Adam's grandfather.

"I'm doing fine. Your face is getting ugly after 5 years of not coming here." Grandpa Adam mocked Lane.

"Old man your eyesight is getting worse." Lane retaliated.

"Maybe, my eyes are still fine even to the age of 100 years later."

"Your old man is still the same as he used to be, too narcissistic." Lane laughed and sat on the sofa not far from Adam's grandfather.

"So how does the cooperation continue?" Ask Adam.

"What cooperation? Why don't I know?" Adam's grandfather had no idea why the military was working with the Browns.

"Your old man probably already knows the situation in this country is deteriorating, I need a hotel to accommodate ordinary people to evacuate and save them." Lane said in a serious tone.

"Is there no other place? What about the army camp?"

"The army camp has been filled with undead even more ferocious than the undead that are outside, we've had a hard time handling it." What Lane said was true because the zombies in the army camp had been trained before they became zombies.

"Why do you say they are the undead?" Grandpa Adam was confused.

"Lately my mom researched them and took them to the lab. The result was that all infected people had no heartbeat and common sense, so my mom said they were undead moved by those virus cells, other than that they were bloodthirsty." Adam's grandfather pondered on Adam's words.

"If this were to happen wouldn't humans be extinct?" Ask Mrs Brown.

"Maybe it is or may not." Lane replied uncertainly.

"Then why did you forbid me to touch rain water? Is there something?" Adam was curious.

"I watched myself in this rainy army camp seem to be carrying the virus. The soldiers who were hit by the rain fell ill and then they started attacking the others, so I forbade the other soldiers to come out until the rain subsided, but it seems like the rain will not stop until tomorrow."

"You guys stay here tonight." Said Mrs Brown. Lane's subordinates are happy after being allowed to stay, after all they don't know where to stay for a while.

"Just have them sleep on the floor, they can sleep anywhere." Lane said, Lane's subordinates then looked disappointed.

"How could I possibly let guests sleep on the floor. Take it easy, the bed will be enough." Mrs Brown ignored Lane's remarks.

"You're too cold-blooded." Grandpa Adam shook his head.

"I can't spoil them, otherwise they'll be flabby and unreliable, but today I'll let them sleep on a padded mattress." Lane's subordinates are happy because they can finally sleep on a soft mattress.

"How about the hotel? When are you gonna check it out?" Ask Adam.

"Do you agree?" Lane turned around to ask.

"Of course I agree but I want a strict check on the people who enter so that there is no spread of the virus into my hotel." Lane immediately agreed to Adam's terms.

"But it looks like there will be some infected people inside the hotel. So how are you gonna handle it?" Adam tapped the table with his finger by accident, as if waiting for his client's decision.

"Just calm. Me and my subordinates will do a clean-up at your hotel, they may be easier to handle compared to the undead in the army camp." Lane and Adam spend the night planning a shelter base.

...

On the other hand Jane does not know that Adam has been cooperating with his death angel. He was busy watching the surroundings from the balcony.

"Some people may not be able to sleep tonight." Said Jean.

2 Days had passed and the rain had completely subsided but it did not make people happy at all. City J had fallen into a strange silence, the sound of cries for help was constantly heard but no one was willing to help.

"What's our breakfast today?" Ever since Misael cooked the cake, Jean had come back cheerful even she was not too sad when the apocalypse arrived as if it had nothing to do with her.

"Sister Jean I made pancakes this time, please try it." Mishael gave Jean pancakes that were stacked in pieces and covered in real honey.

"It looks delicious." Jane cut the pancake with a knife and then took it with a fork. The sweetness of the original honey made Jean involuntarily make Jean close her eyes.

'Oh.. It's so delicious, I didn't know sweet real honey would taste like this.' Jean had never tasted real honey because it was too expensive so she could only buy honey that had been mixed in her previous life.

'Please pay attention to your image, sir.' the system reminds Jean.

"Misael continues to develop your talent." Jean takes no notice of the system and continues to eat the pancakes until they are not left.

Liam was involuntarily envious because Jean was constantly praising Misael. While Jean's grandparents look happy because Jean more often show his emotions.

'Master some people seem to be climbing the fort.' Jean was shocked when she heard the system notification.

'Are they stupid?' after eating Jean went straight to the balcony on the 3rd floor and looked at the wall using a telescope. He noticed 5 men trying to climb the 4-meter-high fortress.

"Evan is free, you won't be able to climb it." Said a man waiting downstairs. They planned to rob and expel the people living inside the iron wall.

"If we don't go in, we'll die being eaten by them." A man named Evan refused to give up.

"If we go, we'll catch their attention if we stay here." Another man looked worried.

"If you don't want to wait, just go there! I don't need you in my group." Evan scolded the man.

"All right, I'm going!" The man ran away leaving 4 people still trying to figure out how to climb. The four people looked angry.

"Forget it, let's find a way to climb this wall. If we manage to eat we find shelter even food inside."

"Will they succeed?" Jean's been watching them.

"No, the wall will reject anyone who tries to enter from the outside." System word.

"I'd love to fuck them." Suddenly Jean has an idea to prank them.

"Can my lightning bolt kill them?" Ask Jean on the system.

"I suggest you don't strike them with lightning, it will definitely kill them." Jean wanted to make them deterred by striking them with her lightning but she was also not a cold-blooded person.

"Then I'll just wait for what happens next." Jean watched them and now he had waited for half an hour but none of them could climb it.

"When do I wait?" Jean had also yawned a few times.

"Evan we better just give up." Said a man who had been panting.

"Let's just go." Evan had also given up and decided to leave instead of wasting energy to climb the wall.

"They sucked very bad." Jean commented when she saw they were gone.

"I'll sleep remind me if lunchtime has arrived." Jean said, closing her eyes.

Liam had seen a squirrel walking over the wall and disappeared outside, seeing its tail which had a very thick fur made Liam want to take it and handed the squirrel to Jean. He then quietly came out of the fortress to look for the squirrel. The system has also noticed Liam and is trying to wake Jean up but Jean is sleeping very well.

"Master, wake! Liam is in danger!" The system wants to kick Jean out of bed if she has a body. Suddenly the system has an idea to wake Jean up. He took the gingerbread that Misael had just finished cooking secretly and placed it on the side table.

"You what is this? Ginger Cake?" Jean woke up when she smelled the scent.

"Mr Liam is in danger! He came out secretly to catch a mutant squirrel" the system said.

"Lord sleeps like a pig." System sneers.

"Tell me where he is now."

"He's in the garden next door." Jean rushed out and brought her katana.

"Jean where are you going?" Jean does not answer her grandmother's questions and leaves in a hurry.

"Sweet squirrels here I brought beans for you." Liam thrusting the beans he had prepared from home, he did not realize the squirrel's eyes were as red as blood and was busy watching his tail. The squirrel came towards Liam and bit his index finger.

"Liam!" Jean is late, the squirrel has bitten Liam's finger.

"What are you doing? Why did you get out of the fortress?!!" Jean involuntarily scolded Liam out of worry.

"A.. I just want to take that squirrel." Liam did not expect Jean to scold him.

"Why not tell?" It's too late, Liam might get infected.

"I want to surprise my sister." Liam lowered his head and his hands clenched tightly.

'Master there's still time before it's too late, it's good for you to hurry up to look for the crystal nucleus.' The system reminds Jean.

"Let's go home." Liam still hasn't shown any sign of being infected but Jean doesn't want to bet.

"Jean what's wrong?" Grandma Jean saw that Jean's face looked anxious.

"My grandmother will look for the crystal nucleus to save Liam, please take care of Liam temporarily if he has a high fever." Jean rushed off in her off-road car.

Jean chose the city center to visit because it is a place that is always crowded and there are likely many zombies in this place.

Jean gets down from the car and the zombies directly rush towards her, Jean mercilessly slashes down the necks of the zombies and wants to immediately collect as many crystal cores as possible.

'Master don't force yourself, take a break.' Seeing the blood soiling almost all over Jean's body scared the system.

"No, I have to hurry to save Liam." Jean continues the hunt.

"Captain Lane looks like I saw a pretty girl on the east side." Said one of Lane's subordinates.

"Then?" Lane seemed unconcerned, he was on his way to Adam's hotel located in the city center.

"I saw him surrounded by zombies while killing them. Did I see it wrong?" Lane's subordinate looked confused.

"really? Then let's recruit him on our team, we need a lot of brave people." Lane stops his car suddenly leaving his subordinates confused.

"Is Captain Lane sure?" Lane removed his rank mark to look like a regular soldier.

"Captain Lane what are you doing?" Lane's subordinate was stunned when he saw her.

"Don't call me Captain Lane call me Potter from now on." Ignoring the confused gaze of his subordinates Lane drove towards Jean who was surrounded by level one zombies.

'Master, the male protagonist is heading towards you." Jean looked dazed when she heard the system notification and turned her head towards Lane.

Lane shoots the zombie that almost killed Jane.

'Did he come here to kill me?' Jane is shocked to see Lane shoot the zombie in front of her.

'Maybe.' answer the system.

"Girl don't be dazed, look at the zombies in front of you." Lane makes Jane realize and immediately finish off the zombies in front of her, thanks to Lane's help, the zombies have been settled early.

"Thank you." Jane sincerely said, she thought Lane had come to kill her just like Lane did in the novel.

"Then how will you thank me?" Jane's good impression of Lane collapses upon hearing Lane's arrogant question.

'C*bul is still c*bul' Jane thought.

"I'm kidding, will you help us? I see you have a decent sword skill. " Lane's subordinate was once again made dumbfounded when Lane joked with a stranger.

"I'm sorry I can't, I'm in a hurry." Jane immediately refused anyway she had to save Liam and collect as many crystallic nuclei as possible.

"Girl please consider. We currently want to clean up the undead that are in the Alston hotel so we need your help." Jane raised her eyebrows when she heard the name of the hotel under the Brown family.

"Alright but instead I want you to give me the crystal core that's inside the zombie brain." Jane showed the white-colored crystal core that was on the zombie head, she was not afraid to divulge the secrets of the crystal core.

"We agree." Lane agrees right away and he doesn't ask why Jane needs a crystal core.

Jane follows the military convoy from behind, she has managed to collect 20 crystal nuclei but Jane feels that it is not enough, she does not dare to guess how many crystals Liam needs.

Arriving at the Alston hotel, Lane immediately split the team into 2.

"Girl what's your name? I forgot to ask." Lane asked.

"My name is Jane Barker, just call me Jane." Answer Jane.

"Barker family?" Lane remembers that the Barkers were the ones who controlled most of the economy in the city of J, not expecting this little girl to be from the Barkers. He had seen this girl in a restaurant in N city, he also never expected to see her again.

"Ok Jane, my name is Potter and this is my Barnett colleague, Arlen.. " Lane introduced her subordinates one by one.

'Why did he fake his name?' Jane was astonished.

'Maybe he was afraid that you would fall in love with him.' replied the origin system.

'Where might I fall in love with this c*bul guy?!' Jane does not plan to be a substitute for the female protagonist.

"Jane you're coming with me." Jane follows Lane's group who settles towards the restaurant.

"It is estimated that there are 15 dead bodies in the restaurant." Lane's subordinates have been counting the zombies located inside the restaurant.

"Joe use a damper." Lane's orders. Joe then manages to shoot 9 zombies that roam the hotel restaurant.

"Cap.. Eh Potter it seems I can only shoot 9 undead, the rest you guys handle." Joe almost called Lane by his real name. Lane and the other subordinates use a military knife to kill the remaining undead, while Jane is busy retrieving the crystal core.

"Are you not afraid of being infected?" Joe notices Jane taking the crystal core with her bare hands, which makes Joe and Lane's other subordinates feel nauseous.

"I'm sorry I don't have gloves." Jane realized she had been careless, after all no one knew about her abilities.

"Wear mine." Lane handed him his black gloves.

"Thank you." Said Jane then wearing a rather oversized glove on her tiny hand.

'Somehow I feel like I'm looking at a little girl wearing her oversized boyfriend's clothes.' System word.

'Don't talk nonsense. I don't want to take Emma's place.

Lane skirts the Alston Hotel and kills zombies smoothly and Jane doesn't help much, she only helps if they are unable to deal with the zombies.

'Indeed to me, I just need to watch and take out the crystal nucleus.' Jane estimates the white crystalline nucleus has reached more than 100. Jane noticed the clock that had indicated the lunch hour, her stomach had protested.

"Potter I'm hungry. Aren't we going to rest?"

"Okay let's rest in 5 minutes." They rest in the hallway of the twenty-floor hotel, Lane distributes military food to his subordinates and Jane.

'Is this delicious?' Jane looked at the contents of the canned food that looked unappetizing.

"What's wrong? Is this your first time seeing military food?" Ask Lane. Jane nodded.

"Don't believe the rumors that the military food is not tasty. Just try it, I'm sure you'll be hooked." Jane tried it and subconsciously spent it.

"Hows it? Is delicious?"

"Son, but the food is cold." Jane's honest comment.

"The honest girl." Lane likes Jane's brave and honest attitude.

"Can I ask to come home early?" Jane plans to go home so she can save Liam.

Before Lane answered the sound of screaming and gunfire was heard from upstairs.

"Prepare." Lane's subordinate was immediately on guard.

'Master there is a level 2 zombie fire attribute at the front.' system reminded.

"Retreat! There's a strange corpse with supernatural powers!" Lane's subordinate who was the second group came in a hasty run.

"Where are the others?" Lane didn't expect the situation to be chaotic.

"They were killed by the undead. Captain Lane let's escape immediately!" Lane's subordinate looked desperate.

"Joe calm him down." Lane's orders. It was impossible for them to give up, as this was the only suitable place as a temporary shelter.
