When the taxi arrived, Jenny got out in a hurry, threw down twenty dollars and didn't ask the driver for change, then rushed to her aunt's yard.
Although my aunt's house seemed to be some distance away from the Bevo area, Jenny calculated the distance using the mobile map software in the taxi and found that the straight-line distance was only less than one kilometer.
Isn't this just like being face to face?
I walked to the steps and rang the doorbell, taking out my cell phone ready to make a call in case he wasn't there.
There were footsteps in the house.
Jenny shouted right at the door.
"Aunt Susan, my name is Jenny. I think it's time to invite you to my house. My dad... uh..."
The door was opened, but the person in front of him was not his aunt or his deceased uncle, but a strange fat woman.
"Hahaha, Jenny, you're here!"
My aunt's voice came from the other end of the corridor.
"Come in, come in, Jenny, my sweetheart!"
My aunt came out of the house with a smile on her face, and together with the kind fat woman, she welcomed Jenny into the house.
When Jenny entered the house, she was shocked.
A room full of people!
There are candlesticks and even a large cross in the living room, but it is probably not a serious prayer ceremony, as there are also fruits and snacks placed around it.
Jenny is not religious and doesn't really understand these things.
"Come, come, let me introduce you to my niece Jenny! Ever since she was a little girl, I have felt that she is God's gift to the world!"
Jenny was overwhelmed when she heard this.
Aunt Susan is about to start her argument that she must be a saint sent by God to the world. God have pity on you, aunt. Your niece is not even a virgin, let alone a saint!
Sure enough, Aunt Susan's next sentence made Jenny feel ashamed.
"From the first moment I saw her after she was born, I knew she was perfect! In my heart, my little Jenny was destined to be canonized!"
"Oh, that's enough, auntie. Canonization is after death. I want to live a few more years!" Jenny really wanted to yell this.
The men and women in the living room had obviously heard what Susan said, and they gave Jenny an understanding smile.
After the initial awkwardness passed, the atmosphere warmed up.
As expected, all the people in my aunt's family are Christians, perhaps very devout ones. They gather at my aunt's house and pray for the Bevo area and for the sick.
When the atmosphere became harmonious, Jenny quietly pulled her aunt aside.
"Aunt, do you want to come to Los Angeles with me? My parents miss you!"
"Miss me? Your father? Stop kidding! How could he remember me?"
Jenny smiled awkwardly.
"People change, aunt. Besides, you haven't been to my house for a long time. Can you come back with me this time?"
"You little sweetheart, this time you just stay here for a few days and then go home and get ready. Your aunt will be going to Los Angeles next month!"
"Next month? No no no, Auntie, I think we should leave right away, uh, tomorrow!"
Jenny didn't intend to save all of St. Louis; she didn't have that much power.
The mentor clearly told them that they must protect themselves first when encountering danger. This is not cowardice, but conserving strength and not letting the association's hopes die.
Of course, Jenny was also planning to contact Fia later and ask her to inform her mentor of the situation here, but she didn't hold much hope that "Dawn" would take action, because there were too many people in government departments.
I hope this group of people can solve it themselves, or just maintain the status quo.
Emotionally speaking, although Jenny knew Dawn's mission, she did not want the association's precious strength to be diminished.
The terrifying feeling just now was that even if the association took action, it would likely suffer casualties.
Aunt Susan didn't quite understand Jenny's eagerness; she vaguely sensed the anxiety of her beloved niece.
"Is it possible that your father and mother are having a disagreement?"
Jenny was stunned, looked at her aunt inexplicably, and then immediately reacted.
"Yes, yes, yes! Aunt, I really can't hide anything from you! Please go quickly, I don't want them to get divorced!"
“What are these two guys thinking all day long, Jenny sweetheart, don’t worry!”
"Um!"
"I'll call and teach your dad a lesson right now!"
"Hmm! Hmm!? No no no! Aunt! Don't call! I'm afraid he will get angry with you too. The best way is for you to show up in front of them directly. That's it! That's it, let's pack your luggage quickly!"
Jenny pulled her aunt and wanted to go upstairs, but the moment she looked up, she saw the sky outside the window.
"Oh no, oh no no no!"
"Everyone, lie down~~!!!"
Jenny yelled like crazy and then threw her aunt to the ground.
The people in the living room were startled when they saw this scene, and they subconsciously fell down along with the wind.
In a few seconds, they fell down with a clatter.
Ten seconds passed, half a minute passed, and nothing happened.
The crowd stood up one after another, and the aunt patted her body and pulled her niece up.
Everyone looked at Jenny in confusion.
"Uh, haha, it was just a joke..."
A drop of cold sweat ran down her neck, and Jenny subconsciously turned her head to look at the sky in the direction of the Bevo District.
Just now, there was clearly a scene of a violent shock wave coming. Was it an illusion?
wrong!
The magic of mentor!
It has weakened a lot!
If the total amount of magic power Qin Xiaoxia had stored in Jenny was 1, then Jenny felt that it was only 0.7 left. An illusion weakened it by nearly 30%? Don't be kidding!
"Aunt, you really have to come to Los Angeles with me!"
And I have to find a way to notify the National Guard or that 19th Organization Department to organize an evacuation!
…
Outside the isolation cordon of the Bevo District, Norton frowned as he looked at the deserted community inside. Currently, only some soldiers were still checking and patrolling inside to prevent anyone from hiding.
But suddenly, a group of soldiers in front ran out in a hurry.
"Hurry, hurry, doctor~~doctor!! Someone here is sick. I repeat, someone is sick!"
The soldiers shouted into the communicator in a voice that could be heard outside.
Medical staff immediately rushed over to help.
Norton stood outside, watching a group of people pass by.
'one two three……'
He counted silently in his mind. In a few minutes, a total of nineteen soldiers were carried or hugged past, holding their chests in pain.
The number of cases is much higher than before, and... the time...
Norton dug his fingernails into the back of his hand.
I remember that the French safety time count for the "death maze zone" was 6 hours, but he arranged that the soldiers' patrol time should not exceed two hours.
But even so, cases have actually appeared!
"What's inside?"
…
Qingzhen, the secret place of the association.
Qin Xiaoxia came out of the crystal forest holding a magic crystal in his hand, a phone in his left hand, and a serious expression on his face.
"Tell her to protect herself. If the situation is not right, she should flee St. Louis by herself. Let her know that she can't save the place by herself. Don't sacrifice yourself in vain. Dawn can't afford the loss!"
Su Su had hung a "temporarily closed" sign at the Destiny House in the amusement park, so she had no time to work at this moment.
Her left hand, which was holding the phone, looked a little pale due to the force, and there was a slight clicking sound from the phone case.
"Okay, I'll tell her. Then, mentor, let's..."
At the edge of the crystal forest, Qin Xiaoxia tossed and caught the magic crystal again and again. The blue veins on his forehead showed that his heart was not as calm as his tone.
You are not the only ones who fear the unknown, I am afraid of it too!
Sighed.
"I'll go over there, I hope it's within our control!"
