Chapter 977 Forces that Survived the Cruel and Desperate Situation
The next second.
Jack swallowed the bun in pieces that Amanda handled to his mouth.
He didn't even chew it as he directly swallowed it into his stomach.
"Thanks, thank you..."
Jack said gratefully.
Amanda smiled as she said, "Sir, why are you thanking me? I didn't help you to do anything."
Jack was stunned.
There was only Amanda's look in his burning gaze.
People who were in the most desperate and helpless situation would feel like they were shined by the warm sun even though there was only a little bit of sunshine. And now Amanda gave Jack such feelings!Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
Even Jack didn't know why Amanda's words just now gave him such great motivation and let him wake up suddenly.
When Amanda said the words just now, he felt like the words were suddenly engraved onto his blank mind.
That feeling of empathy made him suddenly stay strong for a moment.
"Sir, you should come here to warm yourself. Here, I will help you."
Amanda slightly pulled Jack.
Jack shook his head, "I am fine. I can still bear with it."
However, Amanda wrinkled her nose and showed an angry look as she said firmly, "Sir, you shouldn't try to act strong. The strong wind and snow of this big snowfield could freeze a human to death. It could even freeze yaks and bears to death."
"Hey, come in."
A boy squeezed himself out of the group of children. He pushed Jack into the group of children while he harshly pushed Amanda's into the group of children.
Then he showed his back to everyone while folding his arms, sitting, and closing his eyes. He looked cold and detached as he said, "Blocking the wind and snow is what a man should do. Amanda, why are you acting strong?"
"Brother..."
Amanda was stunned.
The boy said the words without turning his head back, "It's fine. Everyone will take shifts to stay in the outer area. My sister was right. Even though we are slaves, we are still alive. If we are frozen to death, we are not even qualified to be slaves."
Although the children swapped their positions from time to time after Amanda requested.
At the moment, the words that the boy had said still let the group of children feel glad. Glowing light could be seen in their eyes.
The scene in the cage had made Jack look nervous.
He slowly raised his head to see the situation in the two cages at the back. He slightly frowned.
The situation in the other two cages was not as peaceful as in this cage.
They didn't support each other or stay in a group to keep themselves warm.
They showed a situation that the strongest people would live and they would gather together.
It could be seen that the stronger kids were occupying the most central place while the weaker kids were sitting at the edge. They were suffering the coldest wind and snow as they were directly exposed. In the strong wind and heavy snow.
Those weaker kids were shivering as they were frozen. Even frost could be seen on their hair and eyebrows. They curled up themselves while clenching their teeth and bearing with it silently.
This scene had clearly shown the cruel situation that the weak people would be the prey of the strong people.
After Jack saw this, his eyes looked confused.
Compare to the situation in their cage, the other two cages were showing another version of "deathmatch".
However, Jack closed his eyes after a while.
He was clear that he was a prisoner and he couldn't recover his strength.
He couldn't do anything to save everyone at this point.
Other than enduring the current situation and protecting Amanda and these children in the cage, there was really nothing he could do.
No. Even he himself had to rely on Amanda and her brother to protect him.
The next three days.
For three whole days, Achilles White and three Golden Guards had led 50,000 soldiers from Dragon Cavalry. After receiving Zenith Harol's reply and orders, not only did Dragon Calvary moved to the bottom part of the Skyline Mountain, they also directly moved from the southern part of the Skyline Mountain to the other end along the road.
The strong wind and heavy snow were quickly enough to hide the traces.
The hope of finding Jack was getting slimmer and slimmer.
Achilles and the three Golden Guards had the same thought.
Even if they couldn't accomplish their first goal.
They had to perfectly accomplish the second goal that was set by Zenith.
Achilles and the three Golden Guards were clear about the Coalition Order.
When Zenith replied and ordered them, they had identified Zenith's intention. Since they were making a deterrence, they should make a complete deterrence!
With Dragon Calvary's dominance and military power, it could deter the lowly tribes and made them terrified.
At the same time, four of them were also not willing to return to the city as they wanted to continue looking for Jack.
"Sergeant White, could Jack have chased Shawn to Skyline Mountain?"
They had moved along the road to search for him.
However, they still found nothing.
Even if Jack chased after Shawn to kill him.
50,000 soldiers of Dragon Calvary moved along the road and searched the place thoroughly. Even if there was an accident, the warhorses' hoof would have kicked out the corpse. "Shouldn't be. No one dares to enter Skyline Mountain in this season."
Achilles shook his head. However, his eyes blinked and he became indecisive. Suddenly, his tone became serious, "If they really entered Skyline Mountain, then there is really no hope. God wants Jack to die." When Jack chased after Shawn and left, he was in a crazy state.
Under this state, he had no sanity at all.
Shawn who was running for his life would naturally lose his rationality.
One was chasing and one was escaping. The fact that two of them ran into Skyline Mountain could really happen!
The words had made the three Golden Guards' faces look sullen and serious.
However, Achilles rubbed the snow on his face and sighed, "We will keep moving. If we really couldn't find him, we could only give up for now. That guy... wouldn't die easily."
The three Golden Guards could feel how helpless was Achilles when he said the words.
The words were like him comforting himself and giving himself a glimmer of hope in this desperate situation.
When Dragon Calvary was moving between every territory of the tribes.
The people that the Hughes family and Grand Freemasons had sent out were moving to the snowfield like scattered star fall. They were searching for Jack in a secretive but more cautious way. They didn't only search for him in the local. A group of traveling merchants also secretly asked about the matter when they were making trades with the tribes.
However, the message that was sent back to Patrick Hughes and Isaac Wells was also... no clues!
At late night.
Patrick couldn't fall asleep. He leaned on a chair and his face looked tired.
Since Jack disappeared, he, as a father, had not had a good sleep.
While dealing with the Hughes family's matters, he was also anxiously waiting for the message.
Therefore, the periods of sleep he had in the past few days were only naps after he was exhausted. However, when he closed his eyes, he woke up quickly.
He looked at the message that was sent back by every team that he sent out on a computer.
Patrick had a feeling as if he was slowly falling into the abyss, "Jack, where are you?"
At the foreign country.
It was daytime at the moment.
Isaac's face looked sullen and serious as he sat on a chair. He was holding a cup of tea in his hand. The tea had been cold but he hadn't taken a sip.
Carlos Juan Yales who was beside him was doing the same.
After a long while.
Isaac said with a deep voice, "Mr. Yales, should we... continue to send out more forces to search?"
However, Carlos smiled helplessly, "50,000 people were sent to the snowfield. They have been sledding around the place every day but they still couldn't find Jack. What is the point of sending more people there?"
After that, Carlos sighed, "It is almost polar night at the snowfield, right? Send this order. The searching team of Grand Freemasons will continue to search until the polar night reaches. If he still couldn't be found, then retreat immediately!"☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
