Chapter 615 They Are Just a Little Acquainted

Zhang Heng took the bullet and half a can of licorice candy.

The next moment, a long-lost system prompt came to my ears.

[Purchase licorice candies at the grocery store and get +3 game points. You can go to the character panel to view relevant information...]

…………

Zhang Heng was becoming more and more confused about this strange achievement system. He asked for some chewing tobacco from an old cowboy and tasted it. In addition to being curious about the taste of the famous chewing tobacco, he also wanted to try his luck to see if he could Cannot earn points.

In the end, nothing happened. Instead, he accidentally got 3 points from a can of licorice candy he bought in the grocery store. The randomness was so strong. No wonder many player guilds have been studying it for so long, and they still got the same result. I haven't been able to come up with a solution for steadily gaining game points in a copy.

"What's wrong?" Wendy asked from the side.

"Nothing, just eat some candy." Zhang Heng handed her the half-can of licorice candy, and then said to the boss, "Do you know where the people in the farmhouses outside the town have gone?"

The latter's hands shook when he heard this, and the bag of flour he was holding almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Zhang Heng quickly caught it for him.

The boss thanked him and took the bag of flour. "A plague broke out in the town some time ago, and those who were infected were quarantined."

"It seems that we guessed correctly before. It is indeed an epidemic. Is the situation serious?" Wendy asked.

"It's under control for now."

"Is there a doctor in the town? Where were the sick people taken?" Zhang Heng asked.

"The church in the town, they are temporarily concentrated there, the doctor is also there, you'd better not go near that place."

"Don't worry, we haven't lived enough yet." Wendy said, and then added, "May God bless you."

"Thank you, ma'am."

After Zhang Heng paid the money, the two left the grocery store. After walking for a while, Wendy felt that her boots were not very comfortable and wanted to squat down and straighten them. At this time, Zhang Heng said, "Don't worry, let's straighten them after walking for a while."

"Why?"

"The boss is still secretly watching us in the store. Don't look back or make any unnecessary movements."

"He's spying on us?" Wendy was surprised when she heard this.

"To be precise, we are observing our movements and reactions." Zhang Heng said, "If you just told a lie, you will also pay special attention to the audience's reaction."

"Lying, are you talking about the epidemic?"

"Well, it's interesting. It seems that people in this town are trying hard to cover up something now," Zhang Heng said. "I wonder what role the sheriff we are going to meet later played in this."

Five minutes later, Zhang Heng and Wendy arrived at the police station in the town. The police chief was a man with a thick beard, and he was actually flirting with a woman in his office in broad daylight.

Wendy was startled when she first came in, because the woman was lying on the chest of the bearded police chief, and the two of them were almost stuck together.

"Stop making trouble, someone is here. I'm going to work, baby." The bearded police chief said, and at the same time pinched the woman's thigh again. The latter stood up with a giggle and returned the favor. Blowing a kiss.

The latter tidied up his dirty clothes and wiped the badge on his chest. Then he said, "Is there anything I can do for you, two of you?"

He is also the first normal person Zhang Heng has seen since he came to this town. Unlike the previous residents who seemed to be a little autistic, at least the police chief in front of him has no symptoms except that he has not taken a shower for who knows how long. Very normal.

As for his little hobby, there is nothing wrong with it. After all, the police chief in this era had a 24-hour job. One person was responsible for a town, and there was no such thing as working hours.

"Are you Sheriff Harper? But I heard that Sheriff Harper is a short man." Wendy said.

"You have good eyesight, madam. I am not Chief Harper. Chief Harper is too old and has retired. I am his successor. You can call me Loew."

"Chief Harper has retired? But just a week ago I had a telegram with him." Wendy's eyes widened.

"Yes, things are fickle, and I didn't expect this to happen so suddenly. He was one of the first residents to settle in this town, and he contributed a lot to this town. The residents living here will always remember his dedication. ...So, what are you doing in Bliss?"

"We're actually here to find someone, Chief Love."

"Really, who?"

Wendy glanced at Zhang Heng, who nodded, and then the girl continued, "We are here to find my father. He has been away from home for a long time. Before he left, he told us to come to discuss business."

"Oh, that's too bad. Why don't you tell me your father's name and I'll see what I can do for you."

"My father is Matthew Robbins, a rancher in Lincoln County. He is wearing a gray shirt and old-looking boots. He is about thirty-five years old. He has a determined look and a swollen mark on the left side of his abdomen. scar."

"I've written it down. I'm going to check it out now. You can rest in the hotel and wait for my news. The results will be available soon tomorrow morning." Sheriff Loew winked at the girl.

"Can I ask one more question, what happened to the people here?" Wendy couldn't help but ask.

"Oh, don't take it to heart. They are just a little xenophobic. Just wait until you get familiar with them. Besides, after all, something terrible just happened in the town."

"I heard about the plague. It was such an unfortunate thing."

"Who says it's not, but we will be fine. Those who live on this land are brave people." Loew said.

…………

"I don't need your powers of observation to tell that he's lying."

In the hotel room, Wendy said to Zhang Heng, "How could Officer Harper retire at this time?"

"Yeah." Zhang Heng wiped the barrel of the Winchester rifle.

"What should we do next? Also, you have been doubting the sheriff all along, so why do you want me to tell you about my father?"

"You can't hide it from him. After all, we have sent a telegram before. Our purpose is not a secret. Speaking out will give him the illusion that although we are suspicious of the situation in the town, we still trust him. Fake Sheriff, and we can also see who his accomplices are."

"What do you think?" Wendy frowned.

"If nothing else happens, they will come to us tonight." Zhang Heng said calmly, "For safety reasons, I should let you leave, but then they will become suspicious. If Sheriff Dolan did not lie, they and Your father knows him well and shouldn't make things difficult for you. Let's do this. You and Lightning should be prepared. If the situation goes wrong, you can ride away first and let me deal with these people."
