Jack stood on the balcony, leaning against the window. As long as the situation was not right, he could go back to the room at any time.
David and his lackeys were standing on the adjacent balcony, looking as if they had passed out.
But Jack couldn't be sure if they really fainted.
What if this was their joint plot with Janice to lure themselves into the trap?
It's possible that as soon as he went over here, the people over there would get up and kill him!
Moreover, there was a distance of over ten centimeters between the two balconies.
The fence made of stainless steel was particularly slippery on snowy days.
If he climbs by himself, Janice could easily push him and cause him to fall from the 24th floor.
So——
Jack pointed his gun at David and others on the ground.
"Use these ropes and tie their hands behind my back."
"Also, I remember David had a gun on him, and he handed it over to me
Janice had a speechless expression on her face.
She hadn't eaten for two days now, only drank a little water, and dragged ten people to the balcony, so she had no strength at all.
Seeing Jack being so cautious that she didn't even want to come over and help, she bit her dry and cracked lips and angrily said, "You must be too careful."
"Be careful when sailing a thousand year old ship, I won't let myself take any risks."
Jack said calmly.
Janice had no choice but to follow Jack's instructions under his gun.
She picked up the rope and firmly tied the hands of those people from behind.
When she took out the handgun from David's pocket, Jack's muzzle was also aimed at her head.
"Remove the magazine from the gun and throw it to me."
Janice looked at Jack and suddenly bit her lip, asking, "How can I trust you? What if you turn your face and don't recognize me after I finish these things?"
Jack said, "You have no other choice but to believe in me now. Only by believing in me can you possibly survive in this harsh environment."
Janice pondered for a moment, realizing that she had no other choice but to trust Jack.
If she cannot break her moral bottom line and ate people, she was destined to starve to death.
Janice followed Jack's instructions and removed the magazine from the handgun, then threw it at Jack's feet.
Jack glanced with his peripheral light and confirmed that it was indeed David's gun, before saying to Janice, "You go back to the room first."
Janice cautiously returned to the room.
She was also very nervous in her heart at this moment.
Because if David and the others woke up, Jack can go back to his room, but she would definitely die.
However, as Jack said, she had no choice.
After Janice returned to the room, Jack did not rush to step over the balcony.
He picked up David's gun from the ground.
Glancing at the magazine, there were still three bullets inside.
Jack threw the gun into a different space, then returned to the room and took out a water pipe from the bathroom.
Then he leaned over to the dozen or so people on the balcony.
The reason for not firing was twofold: firstly, to save bullets, and secondly, to prevent others from hearing the commotion and causing unnecessary trouble.
"Wow."
Water gushed out from the water pipe and landed on David and others at a distance of three to four meters.
From an indoor temperature of over 20 degrees to an outdoor temperature of minus 70 degrees, a temperature difference of nearly 100 degrees!
This makes the originally warm water column still emitted hot air when sprayed out.
But once it landed on them, it immediately began to freeze!
Janice in the room saw this scene and couldn't help but hold her arm tightly.
Being frozen to death like this was indeed a very cruel thing.
At this moment, due to the erosion of ice water, this group of people slowly woke up.
Ice water had penetrated their entire bodies, causing them to freeze all over.
"Ah!!!"
A lackey's frozen lips turned purple and he let out a terrified scream.
He wanted to get up, but found his hands tightly tied behind him.
And the ground was also covered with a thick layer of ice, making him constantly slip and unable to get up.
David also woke up with ice water washing his face.
He looked shocked and suddenly realized that he had been drugged!
But now, he didn't have time to investigate who prescribed the medicine.
Because the cold water constantly washed over his entire body made him feel like he was falling into an ice cave, with a cold and piercing sensation all over his body, as if ten thousand needles were piercing every pore of him! Everyone woke up and let out a scream of terror.
But they struggled desperately, but couldn't get up no matter how hard, because ten people were crowded on the balcony, and each other would still get in the way.
"Jack."
David saw Jack spraying their water pipe from the balcony next door and let out a roar.
Jack finally came out of the room, and the unbreakable window opened a crack.
Unfortunately, his hands were tied up now, and even his own life cannot be saved.
"You've already caused quite a commotion, it's time for you to die."
Jack said coldly.
David and his team killed nearly half of the neighbors in the entire building, and even caught up with Jack.
Killing him, he wouldn't be able to fight Jack for long.
Although Jack was not afraid, it was best to kill him for safety reasons.
Jack would not joke about his own life and fortune.
What was safer than a dead person?
David and others struggled and roared with their last strength.
However, they couldn't get up no matter what.
Cold ice water poured onto their faces, into their mouths, and into their collars.
Their clothes were soaked through and turned into hard ice cubes.
Two minutes later, they laid on the ground and could no longer make a sound, only convulsing with bruises all over their bodies.
Three minutes later, they couldn't even move because they had become ten large ice blocks.
Five minutes later, the block of ice became even larger and joined together to form a solid block of ice.
Jack did not continue spraying water in order to save water sources.
Frozen like this, without modern medical methods, it was impossible to survive anymore.
Jack went back to his room and locked the french window.
Then he changed out of his thick winter suit and called Janice.
"You have passed the test and can come over now."
In the next room, Janice heard Jack's voice and finally let go of her restless heart.
She trembled and said, "Okay, I'll be right there."
She took her medical kit, opened the door as if escaping, and left this hellish room.
Jack opened the quadruple lock of the heavy security door, took two steps back, and raised his right hand to aim the gun at the door.
He turned his head and glanced at the surveillance footage to confirm that Janice's condition was not a problem, and then opened the last electronic door lock using the mobile app.
"You can come in now."
Janice outside the door heard a sound and lifted her cold and pale hand, pushing it hard.
The door was heavy, and she pushed it very hard.
But as soon as a crack appeared in the door, a warm current immediately surged and enveloped her.
Janice's eyes lit up with excitement.
She hadn't felt this warm feeling for too long!
So she increased the strength in her hand, pushed open the door, and took a step inside.
After entering the door, at this moment, she felt as if she had entered heaven!
The cold feeling that covered the whole body before was rapidly disappearing now.
That mesmerizing warmth was like entering a bath.
Slowly, she even began to feel an unbearable burning sensation.
After all, she was currently wearing six layers of clothing, with only a down jacket wearing two layers.
At the room temperature of 27 °C in Jack's house, she couldn't bear the heat.
So she didn't care about Jack aiming at her gun and hurriedly took off her clothes.
