Chapter 625 Peripheral Warning

To be honest, Zhang Heng had not had much luck along the way. When he first entered the dungeon, he had to kill an entire bar of people just to drink water. However, he later found out that they were related to his main mission, when he was taking Wendy to find her father. He met an old cowboy, but he fought with him in order to send Wendy home. When he arrived at the destination, he was involved in a conflict between local miners and farmers. But luckily tonight, his bad luck seemed to finally be over.

As soon as the sun set, a large dark cloud rarely appeared in the sky, which directly blocked the moonlight, making the visibility very low at night, and indirectly improving the success rate of their operation tonight.

However, for the sake of caution, everyone decided to wait for another two hours before taking action.

The battle is approaching, and everyone in the camp has a different look on their face.

Zhang Heng walked up to the old cowboy, who was in a daze holding a wine bottle he carried with him.

"Are you okay?" Zhang Heng asked.

"Of course," the old cowboy said, "Why am I bad?"

"You only talked about the relationship between Cook and Matthew, and the relationship between you and Matthew, but you didn't mention much about the relationship between you and Cook."

"There's nothing to talk about between me and Cook," the old cowboy said. "I joined the Lucky Horseshoes because of Matthew. The relationship between me and Cook is just an ordinary friend."

"Is that so? But from your tone, I can hear that you admire Cook very much." Zhang Heng sat down in front of the old cowboy and put the Winchester rifle on his knees.

The latter was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then said, "He has always been the person I admire the most. No, it should be said that he is the person admired by all the young people in the town. Even...after what happened that night, I I know she didn't tell me the whole plan, but I don't blame him, really, he knows me, knows each of us, and knows very well that we may not join him in revenge if the cost is to kill everyone in the town, so I can I forgive him on this matter, but everything that happened after that was... a little hard for me to accept.

"Actually, I lied before. When the Cook Gang was first formed, I went to find him, alone. At that time, they had just looted a train, killed all the passengers on it, and took away all valuables. They plundered it, and the remaining goods were burned by them. The Cook Gang at that time was not as cunning as they later were, and I found them along the traces they left."

"Then what?" Zhang Heng took the wine bottle handed over by the old cowboy and took a sip.

"Then I was discovered by their people. A guy attacked me from behind and knocked me unconscious. When I opened my eyes again, I found that I was tied to a tree."

"Didn't Cook recognize you?"

"No, he looked at me quietly in front of me, and one of his men pointed a gun at my head. But at that time, I was very angry and did not consider my own safety. I just asked him loudly why he had changed. It’s like this.”

"How did he answer you?"

"He didn't answer me. He just asked me how many people there were and how I found them. I didn't answer his question. Then his men began to beat me. It lasted about three minutes. They were very cruel. My ribs were at least Two of them were broken. Just when I thought I was going to die, Cook finally asked them to stop, and then told me that this was the first and last time. If he met me again, he would beat me to death, saying After that, they left, leaving me alone under the tree.

"I stayed there for a whole week before I was rescued by a passing caravan." The old cowboy said, "So don't worry that I will hold back because of my past friendship and his actions at night. In fact, I also have a debt to pay him. Do the math.”

…………

Two hours passed quickly.

Zhang Heng and his party started setting off at nine o'clock in the evening. In order to avoid being discovered by the other party, they rode very slowly and wrapped the horse's hooves in cloth. They did not arrive at the outskirts of the forest until a quarter to ten o'clock.

The old cowboy's expression also became solemn. Now this visibility will certainly help them disguise themselves as Major Wade and their soldiers, but it will also increase the difficulty of infiltration. After the Cook gang entered the forest, they were the only ones responsible for reconnaissance. People have already run back to report the news, so now they know nothing about the situation in the forest, nor do they know what warning arrangements the other party has.

"Let me lead the way." Zhang Heng said. As he spoke, he took out the [filter lens] and put it on his eyes.

Within the effective range of three hundred meters, all the scenes became clear again. Even the water droplets on the tree trunks could not escape Zhang Heng's eyes.

Everyone walked quietly for about two hundred yards, and then Zhang Heng suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" the old cowboy asked in a low voice.

"There is someone in the tree in front." Zhang Heng said.

With the help of [Filter Lenses], Zhang Heng could clearly see a guy from the Cook Gang who was on guard in the tree not far away.

This distance... is actually quite troublesome to deal with. After all, there are nineteen people on Zhang Heng's side. So many people will still make noises no matter how careful they move, and Zhang Heng cannot use his gun to kill the opponent from a long distance. Because the sound of gunfire will expose their whereabouts, bows and arrows will not work, and the sound of falling corpses will also alert others.

"Change the direction," Zhang Heng said.

Although there are thirty members of the Cook Gang, it is impossible for them to cover the entire forest, and the people responsible for guarding have different habits. For example, the guy Zhang Heng met after changing to the east was squatting under the tree.

Zhang Heng took the bow and arrow from a farmer, and then he carefully moved forward for a distance. When he was about 80 meters away, the other party began to notice that the forest was full of dead branches and leaves. , it is inevitable that there will be movement when walking on it. Fortunately, at this distance, the other party cannot see people clearly, and there is a high probability that they will just think it is some wild animal.

Zhang Heng moved forward another ten meters, probably reaching the limit. Then he put the [Paris' Arrow] on the bowstring, roughly took a look at the target's direction, then released his finger, and [Paris' Arrow] left the string. It flew out, drew an arc in the night, and accurately hit the target's heart.

He just heard the guy let out a muffled groan. He wanted to reach out and pull out the arrow stuck in his chest, but when his hand was placed on the arrow, he could no longer use any strength.

"It's safe." Zhang Heng said to the people behind him, then came to the guy he shot to death and took back the [Paris Arrow].

After quietly removing the secret whistle in this direction, there was no trouble for the rest of the journey. Everyone quickly approached the hunter's cabin. This was normal. After all, the Cook Gang was not at war and could not spend a lot of manpower. On outer alert.
