It's too hot inside the room.
Janice felt as if she was baking in a furnace while wearing a down jacket, which was particularly uncomfortable.
She didn't care that Jack was pointing a gun at her and quickly took off her thick down jacket so that she could cool off a bit.
She was panting heavily.
The tears in her eyes indicated the excitement in her heart at this moment.
Warm, too warm!
Such comfortable indoor temperature was the environment suitable for human living.
And she hadn't felt this ordinary happiness for too long.
"Have you forgotten something? For example, this is my home and you haven't fully undergone my test yet."
Jack said coldly to her.
At this moment, Janice remembered that there was a man in front of her.
Jack's gun was still aimed at Janice.
Janice tried to squeeze out a smile and said, "You're really cautious. I've already done what you said and solved your enemy. Isn't this enough to win your trust?"
Jack said calmly, "Those people are also a big trouble for you. It's not entirely because of me that you got rid of them. You also have a need to survive yourself."
"Eliminating them is just to prove that you have some role and meet the basic conditions for being my helper."
"But next, you have to prove your harmlessness."
Jack pointed out the key to the problem.
After experiencing a long post apocalyptic life, he was unwilling to easily trust anyone.
Because no matter what kind of people in the past, they might lose their humanity in the apocalypse.
He can only believe in himself, only by doing so can he survive in the end times.
Janice felt a little helpless. She had already followed Jack's requirements and didn't know how to make Jack trust her.
But she definitely wouldn't want to leave this warm room!
"What do you want me to do to believe that I am harmless to you?"
Janice looked eagerly at Jack, with pleading in her eyes, almost a humble plea.
Jack looked at her warily and asked, "Are you hiding any weapons on your body?"
Janicee raised his hands in silence and said, "Look, I can't possibly be hiding any dangerous weapons like this, can I?"
Jack's expression was indifferent, shaking the gun in his hand.
"Raise your hands."
Jack's intention was to search Janice's body to ensure that there were no weapons hidden on her body.
Janic was a bit embarrassed.
But she also understood that she had no bargaining power now.
Jack's home was too warm!
Compared to her previous living environment, it's like heaven.
She understood very well that in order to obtain something, one must pay an equivalent price. "Okay, I understand now."
Janice mustered up the courage and had no choice but to follow Jack's request.
She was a smart woman who knew what to give and what to get from it. Jack's eyes were fixed on her, preventing her from suddenly taking out any deadly weapon. This was entirely for the sake of safety. He, as a righteous gentleman, would not have any other thoughts.
Janice slowly raised her hands and placed them behind her head, pressing her body against the door as described in the TV drama.
Jack cautiously walked over and conducted a search.
"Is this okay now?"
Janice waited until Jack searched before asking.
Jack confirmed that Janice did not carry any weapons.
Then he glanced at the medical kit on the ground and said to Janice, "I suggest you go take a shower first."
Janice's face turned even redder. It's been a long time since she took a shower, and she might have a slight odor on her body, but that's something she can't do!
Shy, she ran into the bathroom as if escaping.
Jack found some clothes worn by women in the alternate space and threw them outside the bathroom for her.
"Here are clothes for changing clothes, you can wear them yourself later."
"I have selected a set according to your size, please try if it fits well. If not, I will find another one for you."
Jack had been in charge of the warehouse for so long, which had honed his good eyesight.
He could tell at a glance the size of Janice's clothes.
Janice was in the bathroom and whispered 'hmm' for a moment.
Then came the sound of splashing water.
Jack approached her medical kit and carefully opened it, checking it thoroughly.
He found that there were no more drugs inside, only a few rolls of gauze that were almost used up, and two unopened needle tubes. Jack thought for a moment, picked up the syringe, threw it into the other space, and then closed the medicine box for her. He sat calmly on the sofa, waiting for Janice to finish taking a shower before continuing to talk to her about other things.
In the bathroom, when Janice opened the shower and sprayed hot water on her head, tears filled her excited eyes.
People only understood what happiness was after losing it.
In the beginning, she didn't feel the importance of everything in her daily life.
But as the end came, she realized the value of those things.
The development of human civilization for thousands of years had brought about convenient and fast products, making them increasingly delicate.
Due to not taking a shower for half a month, Janice washed particularly carefully this time.
After washing for half an hour, she suddenly realized that this was Jack's house and accelerated her bathing speed.
After all, water resources were also very precious now.
Jack did not express any opinions or urge her.
Because he had a very large reserve of water.
Moreover, even in extreme situations, there was still a large amount of ice and snow available outside.
Human activities had pressed the pause button, and natural snow water was also very clean, even drinkable.
"Click."
The bathroom door had opened.
Jack looked over and saw a steaming lotus arm sticking out of the door, picking up the clothes he had left outside.
Not long after, Janice walked out wearing pajamas.
The wet hair draped behind her, exuding a breathtaking beauty.
Jack held a gun in his hand and turned a blind eye to this beauty, his gaze still filled with caution.
He would not neglect his guard until he was certain that this woman is reliable.
Both seemingly fragile women and children can become deadly threats in the apocalypse.
"Thank you, Jack. It's been a long time since I took a shower and wasted your water. Can you... blame me? "Janice's expression was a bit embarrassed.
Arriving at the home of a stranger, she still felt very restrained in her heart.
Especially now, she had no idea what kind of person Jack was.
It's always right to be careful and respectful at times like this. She didn't want to anger Jack and get thrown out.
From frugality to luxury was easy, from luxury to frugality was difficult. After experiencing the beauty of a safe house, who would be willing to return to the ice and snow?
