Faced with the terror of death and despair, the homeowners began to remember Jack again.
Someone had taken the lead, and in these chaotic times, others were easily swayed.
Especially now that they were all hungry, it's easier to imagine how delicious the food provided by Jack was.
"Think carefully, are we asking too much of Jack?"
"It's not easy for him to go out alone and find food in such a big snowstorm." "And he has to find food for dozens of people."
"Yeah, it's just that he couldn't find it today, and everyone won't starve to death. Just endure it for a while."
"The few people who were beaten to death were purely doing it themselves." "Which pot doesn't open, bring it up."
"Yeah, what are you? You dare to have the idea of riding someone's snowmobile. Pooh, you deserve to die."
"Hey hey hey, I remember what you said. That Lucas is the worst thing." "Before, he walked his dog without a leash and almost bit me."
"Really? Oh hey, then he really deserves to die! He even harmed us before he died."
"Let's not talk about anything else for now. Anyway, we must persuade Jack to help us find food again."
"Yes, this is currently the only way we can survive."
"That makes sense. Their houses are all made of alloy, and we can't attack them. We have to beg him to have mercy on us."
…
As Jack had imagined, if you treated these neighbors a little better, they would kick their noses and face.
On the contrary, you treated them like pigs, dogs, and animals, and they would come over to kneel and lick you.
Confucius said well, 'Only women and petty people are difficult to raise. Those who are close are not inferior, while those who are far away are resentful.'
Not long after Jack returned home, someone from the large group of owners in Building 25 immediately called him and apologized to him.
"Jack, what happened today was our fault. We sincerely apologize to you here."
"I also hope that for the sake of our long-standing neighbors, you won't share the same knowledge as us."
"Jack, it's all instigated by that dog Lucas! We don't have that kind of idea at all. You need to learn from it."
"Everyone will definitely listen to what you say in the future. Whatever you say is what you want."
"Well, you can go out and find some food tomorrow. Everyone is really hungry."
Upon seeing these messages, Jack's lips curved into a cold laugh and he was too lazy to reply.
Just let them suffer and toss and turn like this.
"Should we let them unleash their remaining energy and become a suicide squad in the end?"
Jack rubbed his chin and thought about the cableway.
At this moment, a series of "ding dong!" and "ding dong!" sounds came through, saying, "I just need to throw two more moldy bread pieces over, and they should be fighting for it. "
Jack was a little curious. Most of her group chats had blocked message prompts. Why was there still one? He took a glance and then understood what had happened.
It turned out that Kelly, the manager of Building 9, had pulled him into a new group.
He looked closely and then realized the mystery of this group.
There were not many or few people in the group, including him, there were exactly 30 people.
Inside, he saw many familiar names.
18 # Warren, 26 # Harold, 21 # William, 5 # Rock…
These people were all the people in charge of the 30 unit building now.
A sharp gleam flashed in Jack's eyes as he murmured, "It seems like they're going to have a showdown with me."
It's not surprising that Jack knew that this day would come sooner or later.
After all, not everyone was like him, with endless supplies in their hands.
Life in other buildings was like passing a year, and they can't afford to wait a day.
Seeing Jack come in, Kelly said, "I have already brought Jack in. Let's talk about that matter together."
Jack remained silent and wanted to see how this group of people discussed.
As Jack's enemy, William, the leader of the Crazy Wolf Gang in # 21, was the first to speak, with a fiery and medicinal tone.
"Jack, I heard that you've been doing well these past few days on the 25th! You have food to eat every day. Even if you're living comfortably, you don't want to think about us poor neighbors."
Jack sneered, too lazy to argue with them.
One mouth can't say more than 29 mouths, especially online.
"If you brought me in just to listen to your farts, then I'll leave now."
Harold hurriedly said, "Jack, don't worry for now. If you leave now, we can't guarantee what will happen."
Jack sneered, "Are you threatening me? Harold, T dogs made me kill so many. How dare you bark here?"
"Believe it or not, I'll go over tomorrow and kill all of you."
At this moment, Harold, who was behind his phone, suddenly felt a chill in his spine and hurriedly sent a voice message, saying, "Don't scare me! Now the other 29 building owners have reached a united front. If you want to attack any of us, it's like attacking others."
"No matter how powerful you are, can you defeat so many of us?"
Jack's eyes flickered.
Sure enough, these people had united and achieved a united front.
"Okay, okay, everyone, please speak less. We created this group with the hope of achieving cooperation through negotiation, not to kill each other."
William snorted coldly and lazily said, "You have a good tongue. Tell him about what we discussed."
"Okay, Jack, let me explain the current situation to you. "said Warren
Warren was still very good at speaking, and he quickly explained to Jack about the agreement reached on Building 29.
Firstly, they reached a united front and unanimously exerted pressure on the 25 # group where Jack was located.
If any unit was attacked by Jack at this time, other units must provide assistance.
Secondly, they demanded that Jack also provided them with materials to ensure their basic survival.
And as a condition of exchange, they would not attack 25 #.
Thirdly, in order to ensure that Jack can fulfill his promise seriously, it was required that everyone took turns using Jack's snowmobile and not put it in the hands of one person.
Fourthly, Jack needed to explain the resource points he had mastered.
After all, the city was locked down by heavy snow outside, and even with transportation, not everyone can find supplies.
Warren: "Jack, that's it. Have you finished listening?"
Jack's mouth curved into a contemptuous sneer.
These people had really big hearts. They wanted to steal his snowmobile and ask him to help guide the way for free, ensuring the living needs of the entire community.
And what they had paid was the so-called sincerity, just not attacking the 25 # where Jack was located?
Were they also compatible?
Jack did not get angry.
Although these conditions were very ridiculous, even in his opinion, there was some truth from the other party's perspective. Negotiation was a matter of gaining benefits bit by bit, and the lion's big mouth was also to prepare for better bargaining in the future. However, Jack can still mock them.
Because the basis for their proposal of these conditions was based on their serious misjudgment of the combat effectiveness of 25 #.
They believed that as long as they united, killing everyone in # 25 would not be difficult.
But how did they know that Jack now had a large amount of weapons and ammunition in his hands.
If a fight really broke out, the gap between the two sides was not at all the same level.
Just because there were many people didn't guarantee victory.
A single drop of water from the Trisolarans can completely destroy the Earth's cosmic fleet.
