"Did you manage to hit him?"
The battle on the sheriff's side was soon coming to an end. This time, because they were closer to the robbers, they managed to kill two robbers and injure four others, though three of them managed to escape on horseback.
On their side, one of them was killed, and the other one was injured. The sheriff was a little speechless at the result.
Fortunately, the "military uniforms" they were wearing worked, and Zhang Heng's accurate marksmanship had destroyed the robbers' confidence. Otherwise, the situation would have been unimaginable.
However, the sheriff was most concerned about Cook's life and death at this moment.
"Yes." Zhang Heng nodded.
"Where?"
"His head."
"From such a long distance, in the dark forest, and under the protection of the crowd, you shot him in the head?" Although he had witnessed Zhang Heng's amazing marksmanship before, the sheriff could not help but ask.
"Strictly speaking, it was two shots. You are right. There were a lot of people around him, and I had to shoot one of them first. After that, I killed two others who were too slow to run away," Zhang Heng said. "I have seen too many strange things at my age.
"I've seen too many strange things at my age. I've seen a man get bitten by a hornet. What followed was his proudest moment of life. I've seen a man get hit by a bullet falling from the sky and suddenly fall to the ground dead. No one knows who the murderer is, but I still have to say that what happened to you is a miracle. Your marksmanship and eyesight are too good. You're like an army all by yourself." The sheriff sighed. "Did you find Matthew among them?"
"No," Zhang Heng said. "What about you?"
"It was too dark at night, and I couldn't tell who was who. The good news is that at least I didn't see him among the dead. But if you really killed Cook, I'm afraid Matthew is in danger. With Cook around, at least Matthew's safety is not a problem. If Cook dies, the remaining robbers are likely to blame this matter on Matthew. So, we'd better catch up with them immediately."
"I'm not going," Zhang Heng said.
He still had some self-awareness. Although his riding skills were improving every day, he and Carrot Lo could not even see the taillights of Wendy's car, let alone a group of bandits that came and went without a trace.
The sheriff did not force Zhang Heng. Although Zhang Heng was responsible for at least half of their combat power, the Cook Gang should have lost the courage to fight back after Zhang Heng fired a few shots at them. With only a dozen of them left, they finally had the advantage in terms of numbers. Although the farmers and miners were not good at shooting, they could still sneak up on the Cook Gang and fire at them.
Saving people was more important. The sheriff did not waste any time and immediately got on the horse.
Seeing that the rest of the people had left the forest, Zhang Heng frowned. He always felt that something was wrong. Tonight's operation seemed to have gone a little too smoothly. Of course, this was due to the sufficient preparation work. However, the combat power displayed by the Cook Gang was somewhat inconsistent with the rumors.
Besides, Cook was the big boss in this quest. Since Zhang Heng shot him in the head, there was no way he could survive. However, Zhang Heng did not receive any game points. The only system prompt he received was when he killed ten members of the Cook Gang, giving him 30 game points. However, there was still no progress in the main quest.
Did he miss something?
…
After Zhang Heng left the ranch, Wendy had been behaving well. For the first time ever, she practiced the violin in her house, which she hated the most. Her mother was very pleased, thinking that the child had finally learned how to play the violin after suffering on the road.
The first thing she did was to check on Wendy's body, and she was relieved to find that the thing she was most worried about did not happen. She was a very traditional woman, and she was very opposed to Wendy learning how to ride a horse. She felt that a girl should act like a girl.
However, this time, her husband, Matthew, was on his daughter's side. He thought that it was reasonable for the rancher's daughter to know how to ride a horse. If something happened to him one day, Wendy could inherit the ranch.
So when Wendy was seven years old, she was so happy that she even wanted to bring Lightning into her room to sleep with her. Fortunately, this crazy idea was eventually stopped by her mother.
Even so, this matter worried her mother for a long time. If she knew that Wendy had learned how to shoot again, the poor mother would probably faint on the spot.
Fortunately, everything seemed to be back on track now. As long as Matthew came back, the family could live a happy life again.
Wendy played the violin for a while, leaned her body in front of the window, and quickly looked down. Unfortunately, she did not see any opportunity to escape.
Speaking of which, Zhang Heng knew her better. He knew that she would not give up so easily, and Wendy was indeed brewing a second escape plan in her mind.
And this time, she also decided to take the shotgun that her father had left in the storage room with her. She knew where the battle was going to take place, and with Lightning's help, it would only take her an hour to get there. She also learned a powerful marksmanship (she thought it was), so Wendy felt that if she appeared unexpectedly during the fierce battle, she might be able to change the outcome of the battle.
However, all of this was on the premise that she could successfully leave the house.
Wendy didn't get discouraged even though she couldn't find any opportunities in the afternoon. If she couldn't find any during the day, she still had the night. After dinner, she patiently waited until her mother fell asleep. Then, she tiptoed downstairs and walked to the storage room next to the stable.
The process of retrieving the shotgun was smooth, but Wendy ran into trouble after a few seconds of happiness.
She rummaged through the storage room, but she could not find any bullets.
The place where her father kept the bullets was now empty. She had no choice but to search other places. Unable to find anything, Wendy could only sneak back to her room.
Early the next morning, she pretended to casually talk to her mother about the bullets. Her mother told her that the bullets were locked up.
Wendy had to wait until the next night. She first got the key from her mother's room, then opened the locked cabinet and took two boxes of bullets from it. She then locked the cabinet and temporarily hid the gun behind it. After that, she returned to her mother's room to return the key. However, just as she was about to put the key back in its original place, there was a sudden knock on the door downstairs.
Wendy was stunned. Could it be that the battle on the other side was over? Had Zhang Heng returned with his father?
