"Howl-"


    "Howl-"


    The coldness was piercing fiercely.


    Jack bent his body and wrapped his hands around his chest. He was struggling forward.


    The air breathed out from the mouth and nose immediately condensed into white mist.


    The packet of rations and pot of water freed him from hunger and provided him the energy to struggle for survival.


    The ice below him was slippery and he might have fallen to the ground if he did not pay attention.


    Everything that he could see was only a piece of white scenery.? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.


    Even the reflection of sunlight made the whitish iceyers dazzling.


    He could not feel any warmth but only endless coldness on his entire body.


    Currently, Haya was extremely hot and Jack was wearing a shirt with short sleeves and shorts only when he was caught. But in this icy world now, he had no difference with people who wore nothing.


    "Survive... I must survive..."


    He muttered with his lips that had turned blue to show his determination.


    "Amber... mom... Brent..."


    He read aloud the name of his loved ones repeatedly because it seemed like it was the only way to bring Jack the desire of survival.


    The piercing wind was like knives.


    It was devastating in this white icy world.


    Jack walked slowly and struggled to move forward.


    Looking down from a height, he looked like an abandoned ant that was struggling for survival. He was only as small as a tiny ck dot in this white icy ground. Jack had no idea where to go.


    However, he confirmed that Madam Hughes and the Quinn family did not have the intention to kill him.


    But they treated him as trash and abandoned him at this frozennd. The punishment that he might face afterwards could be more terrifying than death.


    If they just wanted to kill him, he had already be a corpse.


    But, for survival.


    Jack simply did not care about what was Madam Hughes and the Quinn family''s next n.


    What he terrified the most was that he had frozen and died on this icynd before reaching their n.


    If he survived, there were chances for him to make a reverse.


    But if he died, it would be the end.


    He did not care about how pitiful he was living, because since young, he had been relying on his mother for life. But, had he ever been pitiful?


    Yes!


    He was like stray dogs at the roadside, walking step by step from darkness to light.


    And now, he just went back to the darkness.


    His persistence made him let go of everything and even survived in any ways.


    Amber was waiting for him to go back for the wedding.


    Because of the three years waiting, he should not disappoint her.


    His mom was still waiting for him to go back and to apany her till old.


    Because of twenty over years of nurture, he should apany her.


    Boom...


    The ground was trembling.


    There was a thunderous roar in the distance.


    Jack stopped abruptly and stood rooted to the ground and he narrowed his eyes to look far away while ignoring the dazzling reflection of icy ground. The overwhelming ice and snow rushed towards him.


    The sky which was originally clear was dyed into in white colour.


    As if it was the beast escaping from a cage.


    "Avnche?!"


    Jack''s heart twitched fiercely. Damn, how could there be an avnche in such ce?


    How could the avnche happen at this frozen ground without the umtion of snow and this endless icynd?


    Looking at the rushing of snow waves in the distance, Jack seemed to be pressed into the abyss of despair by an invisible hand. Escaped?


    Of course, he needed to escape!


    But where could he escape?


    Jack did not think much but turned around and ran towards the direction that he came from.


    He was like a directionless fly but he did not n to stop.


    He would never wait for death toe.


    Boom...


    The ground was trembling stronger and stronger.


    The overwhelming ice fragments were rolling towards him.


    "I must not die! I must escape! If I get buried at such damn ce, then everything is over!"


    Jack looked fierce and his eyes were full of red blood capiries.


    But, the ground in front of him was already covered with ck shadows.


    It was like big mouth in dark that was going to swallow him.


    He knew that the overwhelming ice fragments had reached the sky above him.


    Damn!


    Jack smiled bitterly and he was in despair at this moment.


    Bump!


    Suddenly, there was a gunshot among the rumbling sound.


    It was even more deafening than the rumbling sound of the ice fragments.


    "Gunshots? Was there someone behind?"


    Jack''s pupil erged because it was unbelievable.


    "The person in front, stop!"


    There was a roaring sound through a loudspeaker suddenly.


    Someone was there!


    Jack was relieved and ecstatic.


    He turned around immediately and faced the overwhelming ice fragments.


    There was someone in the ice and he did not care about the person''s motive. Perhaps... This was the arrangement nned by Madam Hughes and the Quinn family.


    Even if it was a devil and let him crawl under the feet of the devil.


    He would ept it.


    It is because... he could live!


    Boom...


    A deafening roar.


    Gradually, a few huge shadows appeared in the snow-white ice.


    When the shadows rushed out, Jack could only see clearly that they were a few specially modified snowmobiles.


    Or it was more appropriate to call them snow fortresses.


    Each of them was nearly two storey high and the dark steel te all over the vehicle was like a battle armor. The engines with high horsepower drove the track forward, rolling up ice debris in the sky.


    It gave people an extremely powerful and almost oppressive visual impact.


    There were three snow fortresses there!


    They came in a line, producing a visual impact which was simr to an avnche.


    With the rumbling sound.


    Three snow fortresses reduced their speed slowly and when they came to a halt, they surrounded Jack who was in the middle.


    The overwhelming ice debris and cold wind raged past Jack, causing Jack to fall directly to the ground with his stiff body.


    "Damn, how long has it been? How long has it been since thest people came to this damn ce?"


    "It is a forgottennd. Finally, there is a new prisoner on this icynd forgotten by the world."


    "Hahaha... I never dreamed that I would meet a new prisoner during the patrol tonight. That group of people did not even notice us before leaving the new prisoner here and it is such a big surprise for us."


    There were a few cheerful soundsing from the snow fortresses in the ice.


    Jack was paralyzed on the ground, his body was too stiff and unable to move but his mind was still working.


    He quickly sorted out some of the key information from those cheerful sounds.


    Prisoner!


    A ce forgotten by the world!


    Tonight!


    He was astonished when he knew that he was abandoned at a forgottennd. Was him a prisoner?


    He looked at the sky. There was no bright sun but it was also cloudless.


    Was this... night?


    Soon.


    Jack saw the people who made those cheerful sounds.


    The men were sturdy and each of them was at least 1.8 meters tall. They walked slowly out of the icy wind.


    They were tightly wrapped in thick mattresses made of animal skin like an Eskimo, which made their figures even more burly.


    And everyone was fully equipped with weapons.


    But, they were from different races. Some of them had blond hair and blue eyes, dark skin and ck eyes and some were the same as Jack.


    One of the bearded middle-aged men directly shook the charge in his hand.


    Heughed.


    "Dude, since you are a new prisoner, follow us then. If not, I will give you a shot and drag you away."???
