The Wear Apocalypse Book
27

"Jean you don't have to help Olivia this much." Adam advises Jean that he has heard that Jean and Lane had a fight in the medical room because of Olivia.

"You don't understand the feeling of being Adam's fellow woman." Jean refuses to listen to Adam.

"Your relationship with Lane will be even more awkward."

"I don't need a good relationship with him, after all, I wasn't very close to Lane from the beginning. Didn't you say that I can't get too close to other men?" Jean hit Adam's weak point.

"Okay, I'm giving up." Adam finally stopped advising Jean.

"I won't enter the base for a few days until your plan is implemented and also, it's good that you get rid of the plants throughout the base area as they will turn into mutant plants." Jean was no longer worried about telling Adam what was going to happen.

"Well, once the problem is over, I'll visit your house." Seeing Jean in a bad mood overwhelmed Adam.

"This is for you, I've discussed with Lane that this purple crystal core is for you, if you don't remind the base early, maybe this matter will be hard to come to." Adam handed over the purple crystal nucleus, Jean did not reject the crystal nucleus.

"Sir Adam can I leave something?" Olivia came while carrying a small bag in her hand.

"What's that?" Adam did not refuse.

"This is Lane's gift, in which there's evidence that I didn't deceive him at all. Mr. Adam please leave this bag to Lane, I don't expect that he will open the contents of this bag now but if one day he has forgiven me, I want him to take a look at this bag for a second." Olivia explained.

"All right, I'll tell you." Adam received the bag.

Olivia leaves the base with a heavy heart, she promises that she will dump all her feelings on Lane while getting out of the shelter base.

"Are you okay?" Jean noticed Olivia's expression not willing to leave the base.

"I'm fine." Olivia's determination came out and was clearly visible in her eyes, from now on there would be no more Olivia than before.

Adam enters Lane's office, where Lane sees Emma gently. Has your friend lost his mind? Adam wondered in his heart in wonder.

"What's wrong?" Lane retracted his gaze and a flash of his face became grim when he saw the bag held by Adam.

"Olivia asked me to return your gift first." Adam is not telling the truth because he saw Emma who was near Lane. Adam is not at all stupid like Lane, he has met a lot of bloodsucking people like Emma during his run of his company business, his, if not how could he be able to raise his position as the second richest person after the Barker family?

Lane picked up the bag and watched carefully, but she threw the bag into a corner afterwards and wiped her hands as if she had touched a dirty item. Adam was silent, he did not mean to interfere in the affairs of his friend's romance.

"You come back first, there's something I'd like to say to Adam." Lane said softly to Emma. Emma was a little disappointed, she wanted to know what Lane had told Adam, but she still left obediently.

"Our plans will start tomorrow, I hope you'll be ready." Lane.

"Olivia asked you to open the contents of the bag if you have forgiven her one day." Adam immediately delivered Olivia's message.

"He remains as stubborn as ever, but I will never forgive him, he will forever be a grindstone for me. " Lane laughed ironically, she then lit a cigarette to dissipate her anger.

"You'll thank him someday." Adam said with certainty.

"Of course, I thank him for changing my life, I'd be a loser my whole life if he didn't hurt me." Lane was not angry at all when he heard Adam's words.

....

The atmosphere in Jean's car was very quiet, If Jean were to occasionally go down to kill zombies one by one then, Jean would not stand the depression in the car.

"John, what's the requirement to follow you?" Olivia finally spoke.

"I'm asking that you don't get mad at me after I tell some secrets." Answer Jean.

"R-what secret?" Olivia asked curiously and nervously, in her mind she thought Jean had a big secret, like Jean secretly eating humans to survive, collecting dozens of women underground or Jean doing laboratory tests by injecting zombie virus into the human body.

Olivia shudders in horror as she imagines what secret Jean will tell her.

"You'll know later." Jean replied in a mysterious tone, it made Olivia anxious, she did not know if it was the right choice to follow Jean.

The sighting of the towering wall began to be seen, seeing Jean driving towards the wall made Olivia more convinced by her speculation.

Jean is unaware of Olivia's fear, thinking about what will happen next if she reveals her true identity to Olivia, Will she be killed by Olivia? But she doubted it because Olivia was not a current ability user.

The gate slowly opens but Olivia is getting more agitated, she wants to escape this time but she doubts if she can fight Jean who is a user of ability?

"Welcome to my house." Jean said to Olivia. Olivia looks confused, Did she misjudge Jean? He thinks Jean is an individual man who is reluctant to stay with others but when he sees the face of Jean's family waiting for Jean's arrival Olivia realizes that this place is even better than the base.

"Miss why are you coming so late?" Ask Merril.

"Something happened at the shelter base, so I came to help Adam and the base leader to clear up the matter there." Answer Jean. Olivia was a little dazed, Merril just called John as Miss, isn't John a man? Or did he hear wrong?

"Ah yes this is Olivia, she will join us from this moment on." Jean introduces Olivia, Olivia smiles awkwardly at Jean's family members.

"Don't hesitate, let's just say you're at home alone, the more crowded the house the better." Said grandma Jean.

"Randalf help me get some stuff down."

"Well miss." Randalf picked up Olivia's bag in the back. Olivia was convinced that she had not heard wrong at all.

"J-john k-you're actually a girl?" Olivia dared to ask.

"I'm sorry I didn't say it from the beginning. I'll introduce myself once again, my name is Jean Barker." Jean takes off the mask and opens the hoodie that always covers her head and turns off the voice changer.

"Y-you??" Olivia was surprised, she recognized Jean in an instant. He remembers where Jean was reluctant to give him a ride.

Olivia wants to scold Jean but given the conditions Jean asks to make Olivia speechless even her face flushed red as she remembers the misunderstanding that Jean likes her.

Looking at Olivia's flushed cheeks made Jean's face blacken.

'Is she still fond of me even though she already knows I'm a girl?' Jean asked the system in a panic.

'Your master thinks too much.' Jean was immediately relieved to hear the system answer but the next sentence frightened Jean, 'He loves you sir!'

'Damn it! What is the difference between liking and loving?! It's the same!' Jean scolds the system.

'Obviously he loves you sir, if he only likes you then he will give up when he knows the real master is a woman.' Jean's system of misleading minds.

John : "..."

But what comes to mind is that system speech has a point but it does not want to be liked by the same sex.

"Who do you still like me?" Jean dared herself to ask directly.

"You-you? there's no way I like you!! I'm a normal woman!" Olivia did not expect Jean to ask such a question.

"Good, if you still like me then I have no choice but to throw your body out." Jean was relieved.

"It's appropriate that every time I see you I'll feel upset at all times." Olivia sneers.

"I'm sorry, I felt like you were so annoying that I left you." Jean apologized sincerely.

"OK, but I assume we don't have any debt at all because you've left me." Olivia accepts Jean's apology.

'System look at her, she instantly changed her attitude after knowing that I was actually a woman.' Jean was secretly complaining to the system.

"Stop arguing, let's have dinner, grandpa know that you two haven't had dinner yet." Jean's grandfather had guessed what happened between the two women.

"When grandfather mentioned eating, I suddenly became very hungry." Said Jean. He just remembered that he had not eaten dinner at all, Adam had not even invited him to eat first, did he not intend to chase at all? Jean felt Adam was a bad and insensitive man.

Adam who was sitting smoking suddenly sneezed, is there anyone who is talking about bad things about him? Adam wondered.

"Sir, this time Captain Lane is so outrageous, he even strangled Olivia." Noel suddenly spoke.

"Things like that we shouldn't interfere, I know you don't like Lane but remember he's my best friend." Adam commemorates Noel.

"Yes sir." Noel did not dare to argue. Noel has been following Lane ever since Adam's grandfather handed over the company to Adam, for whom Adam is his older brother.

"You go tell Joe to root out the plants around the base, both houseplants and weeds tonight." Adam believed in Jean's remarks so he wanted Joe to carry out the task immediately so as not to harm the refugees.

"Good." Noel went to tell Joe. Joe and the soldiers under him immediately carried out the task, they did not dare to refuse Adam's request.
