At this moment, the neighbors of No. 25 were holding the food given by Jack and curled up at home eating dinner.
They hadn't taken a shower for almost a month, their bodies were itching and uncomfortable, and some even had psoriasis.
But there's nothing they can do, they can't get that much hot water. Even if they can boil water with a kettle, they had to keep it for drinking. How dared they go take a shower?
After taking a shower, if you got sick, now you only had to wait for death.
Mark and Kim were roommates. They were good brothers in college and worked in the same company after graduation. Their relationship was extremely close.
That night, they were in a good mood because Jack gave them a box of braised pork each.
These two boxes of braised pork were taken from the supermarket shelf and had been frozen hard for a long time.
However, they could not defeat them. They stuffed braised pork under their down jackets, heated it for several decades, and the rice was ready to bite.
In the pitch black room, two people were wrapped in thick blankets and blankets, with only their heads exposed.
Mark struggled to scoop out a piece of braised meat with a spoon, chewed it in his mouth for a long time, and finally tasted the flavor of braised meat.
His face was full of happiness, and being able to eat this at this moment was equivalent to having a top-notch feast!
"Fortunately, we used to hang out with Jack! Now we can even eat braised pork."
Mark said happily.
But beside him, Kim remained silent, silently nibbling on the rice in his hand.
That's right, it's not eating, it's gnawing.
After all, the rice and meat were frozen together, and he despised the trouble of using a spoon, so he directly pressed his face against it and nibbled on it.
Mark saw Kim not speaking and thought he hadn't heard, so he nudged him with his elbow.
"Hey, are you telling me right? We'll follow Jack from now on."
"Didn't you see Janice? That guy is still shiny and bright, with designer clothes."
"The scariest thing is that she seems to be able to take a shower."
Mark's eyes were full of jealousy. His current way of cleaning and hygiene was to rub dust on his body with his hands, and every time he rubbed it, it became a long strip. But later on, he couldn't bear to rub it because keeping it would keep him warm.
Kim glanced at him and said in a muffled voice, "What's the use of admiring someone? You don't have that condition."
Mark sighed, "You're right, we don't have that part either! Otherwise, I would have to try it out."
He looked at his brother and chuckled,"But before that, I will let you have a good time first."
Kim said irritably, "Get lost, just like you, don't even give it to me for free."
Mark argued, "Don't be too dirty, I'll just use my mouth."
"Shut up, shut up, the more you say, the more disgusting it gets."
The atmosphere between the two began to become somewhat subtle.
After a moment of silence, Kim said in a deep voice, "Mark, do you think Jack is actually using us as cannon fodder when he gives us food to eat? He didn't even want us to live."
Mark widened his eyes and asked, 'What do you mean?'
Kim told Mark what his neighbors said during the day.
Mark also fell silent.
"What can we do about those useless things?"
"At first, I thought about killing him and then robbing their house and food. But we couldn't beat him and almost got killed by him."
"In this world now, whoever has a hard fist is a father. If he can give us a bite of food, we have to obediently listen."
Kim remained silent.
At that moment, their phones rang.
Kim took his phone out of his pocket and glanced at the message, his gaze immediately becoming serious.
Amidst this seriousness, there was a hint of inexplicable tension and excitement.
…
The next day, Jack left the community on his motorcycle as usual.
Due to being ambushed yesterday, he took a big detour and went out in a different direction this time.
Today he didn't call the security guard because he was going to the military camp to dig up the buried weapons and equipment.
Also, finding some trees and cutting them down for future use.
Last night, Warren and Kelly contacted him again.
It's just asking Jack what he's thinking.
Jack just gave them a perfunctory response and said he still needed to consider it again.
But he could clearly feel that some people's personalities were becoming impatient.
Jack didn't care about their attitude, he only saw when these people would take action.
After all, the people in Building 29 need to unite and negotiate for a while.
This period of time was enough for him to be fully prepared.
It took two and a half hours for Jack to arrive at the place where he came yesterday according to his memory.
Under my feet was a vast expanse of white snow, with nothing around except for a nearby reference point.
Jack took out the excavator from the other space and started digging down like last time.
After gaining experience, Jack's skills in operating excavators had become much more proficient.
After another busy day, he dug into the house below.
Jack didn't know if this was a weapons depot, but when he dug into a house, even if it meant breaking walls and making holes, it was more convenient than digging snow. So he jumped down and carefully searched, only to find that this was not a weapons depot, but a military dormitory. Although he found the wrong place, at least he saw the building, which meant the arsenal was not too far away from here.
However, Jack noticed something strange when he entered the dormitory.
In theory, with heavy snowfall, almost all land transportation was unusable.
So these soldiers stay here, once the snow got heavy, they can't leave.
So many bodies can definitely be found in the military camp.
But when he entered the dormitory, he found that the blankets inside were neatly folded and the sheets were all flattened. And he didn't even notice a soldier who frozen to death. It's strange, how could there be no one.
Jack couldn't figure out where all the soldiers here had gone.
He went to several nearby dormitories again to check, and the same scene happened inside.
"Did they all leave here?"
Jack had an idea in his heart, and he felt that it was the most likely.
After the snow disaster, those high-level officials must have obtained accurate information as soon as possible, knowing that the end of the world was inevitable.
So they need to go to the shelter, and these soldiers were transferred by them to be responsible for protecting their safety and transporting supplies. With this thought, Jack's mind became clear.
Combining with the empty warehouses in the warehouse area he saw before.
The truth was that a small number of high-ranking officials had already completed the transfer on the night of the snowstorm.
However, ordinary people had not received any news about all of this.
They were currently hiding somewhere, waiting for the disaster to pass before coming out and continuing to rule the world.
A hint of vigilance rose in Jack's heart.
Because he knew that disasters would be difficult to overcome for a while, and after a long period of baptism, everyone's heart would undergo changes. At that time, there might be armed forces emerging as a huge threat.
But that time point wouldn't come too soon, because they still had at least some order to maintain now.
