He's in the west, he's a cowboy

The three of them did not go back to the camp directly, but ran a long way east. They rode their horses for almost half an hour before stopping at an intersection.

"This is a perfect operation." Javier summed up the operation while sitting on his horse.

"We got a lot of money." Charles took out his own money, and Javier also took out his share from the safe and found that there were more than three hundred yuan.

Do the math. One person can get more than fifty yuan. "Which of you wants this gun? It's brand new." Charles took out the new pistol again: "Schofield, Zhou, I remember you used this model, right?"

Zhou Zheng took the pistol and saw that it was indeed the one he used. He was not polite and put it in his bag: "Then it belongs to me."

The other two people all have their own guns, and unless they break down, they don't plan to change their guns. The guns don't have to be the best, but they must be easy to use, and Zhou Zheng will be better off.

After they each collected their money, Javier added, "We'd better leave separately. I'm going back to the camp to report the situation to Dutch. You can find a place to hide for two days before coming back."

Zhou Zheng naturally had no objection and waved to the two of them. Javier went south directly back to the camp, while Charles went north to who knows where. After seeing that the two of them were gone, Zhou Zheng continued walking eastward alone.

It's still not safe around here, not to mention that he's covered in blood, and he might be in trouble if someone sees him. Zhou Zheng rode his horse and continued walking towards the east.

Not long after walking, he heard the sound of horse hooves in front of him. Fearing that it was a patrolling policeman, Zhou Zheng hurriedly led the horse and hid in the nearby jungle.

After a while, a horse drove slowly over from the road. It turned out to be an oil tanker. Why is there a tanker truck here in the middle of the night?

Zhou Zheng waited until the oil tanker was gone before he came out of the woods. He rode slowly towards the direction from which the oil tanker came. He was going to take a look there, maybe he could find something.

Sure enough, Zhou Zheng didn't go far when he found an oil refinery in front of him. It was already night, and the factory was still bustling with people. It seemed that it was a factory that operated around the clock.

Zhou Zheng dismounted, crouched close to the factory, and stopped under a tree not far from the factory. He took out his telescope and looked at the factory from a distance.

By the light of the fire, Zhou Zheng could clearly see the letters on the factory sign. This was actually a factory in Cornwall.

It seems that Cornwall's business is really big, with not only mines but also refineries. In the future, oil will be the blood of the industry, and its price will be higher than gold. I had underestimated Cornwall before. Just because he held the oil factory, he could not easily overthrow it.

Zhou Zheng watched for a while and then quietly retreated. He couldn't see any results here, so he might as well find a place to rest.

After bypassing the oil factory and continuing to walk towards the east, a large dark cloud blocked the moonlight. Without the moonlight, everything was dark.

Zhou Zheng lit the lantern, and the light of the lantern barely illuminated a small area in front of him. It's not a problem to walk like this. Zhou Zheng opened the map and checked his position by the light.

There was no reference point on the grassland. After looking at it for a long time, Zhou Zheng finally determined that he should be not far from Jade Ranch, probably to the north of Jade Ranch.

Let's go to the Emerald Ranch. I heard Hosea say in a casual chat that the Emerald Ranch is the largest ranch nearby. You can go there for a stroll, maybe you can find a way to make money.

After walking for a while, he found a small lake in front of him. It was more like a huge pool than a lake. He picked up the lake water and washed his face. Zhou Zheng found that the lake water here was cold and clear, and it was a little sweet when he drank it. Decided to camp here tonight.

It was already very late. Zhou Zheng found a big tree by the river, tied the horse's reins to the tree, and sat down against the tree.

He lit a bonfire, a lot of things happened today that made him exhausted. The blood on my body was so sticky that I felt uncomfortable. I took off my clothes and stood by the lake and took a bath. I washed my clothes again and hung them by the fire to bake.

It was still a bit cold in the grassland at night, so I quickly took out a change of clothes and put them on myself, and then took out the blanket from the horse's back. The cold at this time was terrible.

There was also some dried meat and the biscuits I bought earlier in the bag. I was hungry after working hard in the middle of the night. I took two bites and found that I couldn’t bite them. This thing must be too strong.

Open a fruit can, eat the fruit inside, wash the can, put the dried meat and biscuits that took a lot of effort to cut into pieces, add some water, put it on the fire and cook it, ready Deal with it at will.

While cooking, Zhou Zheng took out a new pistol from his bag and loaded it with bullets. Let's not use the one owned by Daqi for now. Since he already has a new gun, he should return that one to him later.

The new gun feels a little heavier than the old gun. I will have to find a place to try the gun tomorrow.

I took out all the things I found in the drugstore from my bag to see what I got.

There were several bottles of trauma medicine and some weird stuff that looked like painkillers. However, there seem to be some not very good ingredients in it. The United States has always been famous for its indiscriminate use of medicines, so it is better not to use some things indiscriminately.

Zhou Zheng looked at the last few bottles in the bag, the familiar streamlined bottle body and the familiar logo, isn’t this Coca-Cola!

There was Coca-Cola in 1899? This thing is a bit old. I opened the bottle cap and took a big sip. Damn, this thing still tastes the same after more than a hundred years.

The water in the can was boiling. Zhou Zheng picked up the can but forgot that it was made of iron. He screamed because it was burned. He hurried to the river and put his hand into the cold lake water, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Wet a towel and put it on your hands, pick up the can and stir it vigorously with a spoon. The biscuits inside have been completely broken. Slowly open the can, take a mouthful with a spoon and put it into your mouth, until it is completely dissolved. The biscuits and some sliced ​​meat were surprisingly delicious. I finished them in three bites at a time, washed them too lazily, and just lay down next to the bonfire. Let’s talk about anything tomorrow.

He had a very restless sleep and kept having nightmares. The people he had just killed and the people he killed on the train were asking for his life in his dream. He raised his gun and shot wildly, killing them again and again. , but always see them again.

When he woke up, it wasn't completely bright yet. He opened his pocket watch and saw that it was only after five o'clock. Zhou Zheng stood up and put some water in the water. He picked up the clothes that he had placed by the campfire to bake last night. After a night of baking and wind blowing, they were already dry. It's a little blackened by the smoke from the fireworks, but now is not the time to be particular, so it would be nice to wear something.

After packing up everything, he led the horse and walked slowly along the lake. It can only be said that this place is indeed the heart of the earth. Wild animals can be seen everywhere on the vast grassland. Not long after leaving, Zhou Zheng saw a lot of them. Five or six kinds of large wild animals, and even a group of huge bison were seen drinking water around the river.

"What a great place. It would be great if we could have a pasture here." Zhou Zheng couldn't help but sigh.

Zhou Zheng looked at the swarms of wild animals by the lake, and his interest in hunting aroused. He just wanted to try a gun, and this was what he wanted.

He rode the horse farther away and tied it up. The sound of the horse's hooves was too loud and could easily disturb the prey. He walked quietly back to the lake by himself, took out his binoculars and carefully selected his prey.

Forget about bison, these things are too powerful and come in groups. It’s easy to fall into trouble if you’re not careful. White-tailed deer are good, especially the doe without antlers on its head, which looks easier to deal with.

Soon, Zhou Zheng found a lone white-tailed deer by a smaller lake. Watching it drinking water by the lake without any precautions, it was you!

Zhou Zheng walked cautiously towards the position of the white-tailed deer. The wind was very strong today, and it happened to be blowing towards him, so that his scent would not reach the deer's nose.

He quietly pulled out his pistol. The reliable range of this pistol was not particularly long. He only had one chance to shoot, so he had to get closer.

Fortunately, the grass here was relatively tall and dense. The deer did not leave even after drinking water. It looked at the fresh grass on the ground and ate it.

Seeing that the distance was close, Zhou Zheng raised his gun and carefully aimed at the deer's head. If he wanted to kill it with one hit, it would be better to hit the head.

After aiming for about ten seconds, Zhou Zheng decisively pulled the trigger, and with a bang, the deer fell down.

yeah! Zhou Zheng jumped up from the ground happily, but he didn't realize that his legs were numb after squatting for too long, and he fell to the ground before losing his balance.

Not happy to care about himself, he rubbed his legs and hurried to his prey. He found that his shooting skills had indeed improved. It turned out that the shot went directly into the eye socket of the white-tailed deer. This was not something ordinary people could do. Sighing that he was unlucky, Zhou Zheng picked up the deer and walked back to where he tied the horse.

The prey was tied to the horse's butt. The smell of blood made the horse a little scared. Zhou Zheng comforted it for a long time before it calmed down. Then he mounted the horse and ran happily towards the Emerald Ranch.

The shadow of the ranch could be seen vaguely in front of me. It seemed that I was on the right track. I was surprised and couldn't help but speed up my pace.

By the time Zhou Zheng saw the herds of cattle and sheep, the sun had fully risen, and several shepherds were driving their sheep to graze on the grassland. Zhou Zheng wanted to step forward and ask for the way to the ranch, but before he could speak, several people who saw Zhou Zheng became a little nervous, and one of them even picked up a gun. In this era, those who dare to be alone outside are either ruthless or stupid. Look, Looking at the gun on Zhou Zheng's waist, it was obviously not the latter.

"Hey, don't be nervous. I'm just passing by and want to know how to get to Jade Ranch." Zhou Zheng raised his hands and spread them out to show that he had no ill intentions. Several shepherds were relieved when they saw Zhou Zheng's childish face. One of the older ones came out and asked Zhou Zheng: "You can continue walking eastward along this road. You can get there in about half an hour. But remember, we don’t welcome dangerous people here, so you’d better be careful.”

Zhou Zheng continued to move forward along the path. Not long after, he saw a small village, which was the Emerald Ranch.
