48 Hours a Day

Chapter 625: Peripheral Vigilance

Honestly, Zhang Heng had no luck along the way. After entering the copy, he had to do the whole bar for a drink. He later found out that they had something to do with his main task. On his way to Wendy's father, he met an old cowboy. However, the other side fought with Wendy in order to send him home, and when he arrived at the destination, he became involved in a conflict between local miners and farmers. But good thing his luck looks like it's finally coming to an end tonight.

As soon as the sun sets, a huge cloud appears in the sky, blocking the moonlight directly, making the night's visibility low and indirectly increasing the success of their actions tonight.

However, caution dictated that we should wait two more hours before proceeding.

As the war approached, everyone in the camp had different colors on their faces.

Zhang Heng walked to the old cowboy, who was dazed with a bottle of wine he was carrying.

“Are you all right?” Zhang Heng asked.

“Of course," said the old cowboy, "why am I not well? ”

“You talk only about the relationship between Cook and Matthew, and you and Matthew, but you don't talk much about the relationship between you and Cook. ”

“There's nothing to talk about between me and Cook.” Old Cowboy Road, "I joined Lucky Horseshoe because Matthew, me and Cook were just friends. ”

“Is that so, but in your tone, I can tell that you admire Cook.” Zhang Heng sat in front of the old cowboy and put the Winchester rifle on his knees.

The latter heard a moment of silence, and said, “He has always been my most admired man, no, he should be said to be the one that all the young people in town worshipped, even... after what happened that night, I knew she hadn't told me the whole plan, but I don't blame him, really, he knew me, he knew each of us, and he knew very well that if the price was killing the whole town, we wouldn't necessarily join him in his revenge, so I could forgive him on this matter, but what happened after that made me... a little difficult to accept.

“In fact, I lied before, I went to him when the Cook gang was founded, alone, when they had just robbed a train, killed all the passengers on it, scraped everything of value, and the rest of the cargo was burned out by their fire, when the Cook gang was not as cunning as it was later, and I followed the trail they left behind to find them. ”

“And then what?” Zhang Heng picked up the bottle handed over by the old cowboy and took a sip.

“Then I was discovered by their people, and a guy snuck me out of the back and opened my eyes, and I found myself 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 the time, I was angry, I didn't think about my own safety, I just asked him out loud why he was like this. ”

“What did he say to you? ”

“He didn't answer me, he just asked me a few people, how did I find them, I didn't answer his question, and then his men started beating me up for about three minutes, and they hit me hard, and they broke at least two of my ribs, and just when I thought I was going to die, Cook finally stopped them, and then told me this was the first and last time, and if he met me again, he would kill me alive, and they would leave and leave me alone under that tree.

“I spent a whole week there being rescued by a passing merchant team.” Old Cowboy Road, "so don't worry, because of the past friendship night action, I'll take care of it, and I actually have a debt to settle with him. ”

…………

Two hours will soon pass.

Zhang Hengyi pedestrians started leaving at 9 pm. In order to avoid being spotted, they rode slowly and wrapped their horseshoes in cloth until they reached the outskirts of the forest at 10 pm.

The old cowboy's sarcasm has also grown heavier, and now this visibility, while helping them disguise themselves as Major Wade and their men's soldiers, will also increase the difficulty of diving in. After the Cook Gang entered the forest, their only person responsible for reconnaissance has come back to return the message, so now they have no idea what's going on in the forest, and they don't know what the security arrangements are.

“I'll lead the way ahead.” Zhang Hengdao, as he spoke, touched out the [filter lens] and carried it on his eyes.

Within the effective range of 300 meters, all the scenery became clear again, even the droplets on the trunk could not escape Zhang Heng's eyes.

Zhang Heng suddenly stopped following the silent walk about 200 yards away.

“What's the matter?” The old cowboy lowered his voice and asked.

“There's someone in the tree up ahead.” Zhang Hengdao.

With the help of [Filter Lenses], Zhang Heng could clearly see that not far from the tree there was a Cook gang in charge of vigilance.

This distance is actually quite troublesome to handle. After all, there are 19 people on Zhang Heng's side. Even if so many people move carefully, they will still make noise. Zhang Heng cannot solve each other with a gun at a distance, because the gunshot will expose their movements, bows and arrows will not work, and the sound of the body dropping will also impress others.

“Change direction,” Zhang Hengdao said.

The Cook Gang has 30 people, but it is not possible to cover the entire forest, and the people in charge of vigilance are used to it differently, such as the guy Zhang Heng met after switching to the east, squatting under the tree.

Zhang Heng picked up his bow and arrow from a farmer, and then a person carefully stroke a distance forward, to the distance of about 80 meters, the other party began to notice, the forest was full of dead branches, and leaves. There was inevitable movement on the top. Good thing that the other party could not see people at this distance, probability would only assume what kind of wildlife it was.

Zhang Heng stroke forward for another 10 meters, reaching the limit, then mounted [Arrow of Paris] on the bowstring, aiming at the position of the target, then released his finger, [Arrow of Paris] flying out of the string, drew an arc in the night, accurately hitting the target's heart.

Just listening to the dull hum from the guy, he tried to reach out and pull out the arrow that was stuck in his chest, but he put his hand on the arrow, but no more strength was needed.

“Safe.” Zhang Heng rushed back to Humanity, then came to the guy he shot and retracted [Arrow of Paris].

After the silent removal of the dark post in this direction, the rest of the journey did not encounter any more trouble. The crowd quickly approached the hunter's cabin, which was also normal. After all, the Cook Gang was not in a state of combat, and it was not possible to spend a lot of personnel on outer security.
