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

"I hate rainy days, especially rainy days in the forest."

The forest on a rainy day is really annoying. There are puddles of water everywhere. The soil is full of water, making your feet wet and slippery. If you don't pay attention, you will fall over.

Zhou Zheng and Charles Arthur ignored the muddy ground and were lying on a hillside, holding telescopes and looking at a cave not far away. That was their second goal this time, the Beaver Cave.

The cave is located deep in the forest. The entrance of the cave is like a big open mouth. It is so dark inside that nothing can be seen.

"I have to say, your idea is really bold, but it works." Charles said to Zhou Zheng while watching the movement in the cave.

"Hehe, this is called darkness under the lamp." Zhou Zheng smiled slightly proudly. After crossing the river to escape the pursuit of the police, Zhou Zheng made up his mind and decided to lead a few people back from the east.

He wiped the rain off his face and continued: "Places that have been raided by the police usually don't come back again, so we just need to follow the police from a distance."

"And these police won't go near this forest. Are they afraid of the Mofree family?" Charles was a little puzzled. They found more than once that the police deliberately bypassed this forest during the search, just like There's something scary inside.

"Who knows, isn't this just right? The police are unwilling to enter this forest, and the Mofree family is huddled in their caves and unwilling to come out because of the heavy rain. This is a good opportunity for us to take action." Zhou Zheng curled his lips and thought He smoked a cigarette, but the cigarette on his body was soaked in water, and the rest of the cigarettes were carried on Chitu's back.

Chitu, on the other hand, followed Wei Xinhuan and hid at the foot of a hillside not far away. There was a natural protrusion there, which was just right for shelter from the rain.

When Wei Xin learned that his friend was coming to rescue him, he struggled to come with him. Huan also clamored to come to help, but Zhou Zheng held them down and asked them to stay and be responsible for protecting the horses and everyone's luggage. The injury hasn't healed yet, so don't cause trouble.

"Damn, it's like I'm taking a bath in the bathtub now, except that the soap is replaced by mud." Arthur couldn't help complaining. The place where he was hiding was a little lower, and all the rainwater around him was facing his position. It flowed over and almost turned into a puddle.

"Be patient, it's getting dark soon. When it gets dark, we can take action." Zhou Zheng looked up at the sky. The sky was gloomy, with dark clouds piled above his head. It seemed that it was much closer to the ground, as if it was about to It's the same as pressing down.

"What are we going to do this time? Stealth? This is not what I'm good at." Arthur said impatiently.

"Charles and I sneak in quietly and take care of the guards. You follow us. If something unexpected happens, we will rely on your guns." Zhou Zheng made a plan. The entrance to the cave is narrow. If we don't find a way to get in first, those people will block it. It was difficult for the three of them to penetrate the hole.

Charles and Arthur had no objection. The three of them took out their weapons and waited quietly.

It was getting darker and darker. Zhou Zheng and the others quietly approached the cave. The heavy rain became their best cover. The noisy rain completely covered up the sound they made.

Charles and Zhou Zhengsi did not bring long guns, but only short weapons such as pistols and daggers. Arthur carried long weapons on his back.

Charles also carried a pair of bows and arrows, but the bowstrings had been removed and wrapped in oilcloth and placed in his arms. Such things were very valuable and would lose their strength once soaked in water.

There were a lot of debris in front of the cave entrance, and there were even a few carriages. At a glance, it was obvious that they belonged to other people who were robbing them. However, this gave the three of them a chance to hide their bodies by walking around in the utility room.

The two of them advanced slowly with their daggers in hand, while Arthur followed closely, holding two pistols in his hands. As long as something happened to the two people in front of him, he could shoot to save them immediately.

Soon, Zhou Zheng and Charles approached the entrance of the cave. One on the left and one on the right half-crouched on both sides of the entrance. Arthur was already in position, aiming his gun at the entrance.

Two people from the Mofree family were standing guard at the entrance of the cave. These people were wearing messy clothes sewn together from animal skins and cloth. Zhou Zheng was not sure if they were clothes, but they looked very old anyway. One of them was holding a bow and arrow. One held an old-fashioned flintlock gun.

Looking at the heavy rain outside, they looked a little lazy. They each held their weapons in their arms and leaned against the rock wall of the cave with their eyes closed and dozed off.

Charles pointed to the one on the right, and Zhou Zheng nodded. Charles gestured towards Arthur, and after seeing Arthur nod, he took out a stone and threw it towards the entrance of the cave.

The stone splashed in the puddle in front of the cave entrance, which also attracted the attention of the two sentries. The two people stuck their heads out and took a look. Arthur also made some noise in time not far away.

The two people walked out of the cave to check it out. As soon as they stepped out of the cave, Zhou Zheng and Charles ran out, covered their mouths from behind, and slashed their necks with the dagger in their hands.

The two of them struggled fiercely, but their mouths were covered and they couldn't make a sound. The sound of the struggle was also covered up by the heavy rain.

After the two of them were completely motionless, they dragged their bodies aside, Arthur walked up, and Charles whispered: "I'll go in and take a look first, you follow me."

Charles took out his bow string at the entrance of the cave, assembled the bow and arrows, put it on his back, and took the lead in touching it.

After walking two steps, there was a stench coming from the cave, as well as some faint smell of meat. Zhou Zheng couldn't stand it. The environment here was so bad. They quickly covered their noses with masks, these people really thought they were savages.

The cave extends in all directions, with several paths dividing the cave into several parts. This terrain is just suitable for their assassination.

The three of them quietly put down a few unlucky guys who were sleeping on the ground and continued walking forward.

Charles waved to the two people behind him to indicate that there was someone in front of him, then took out his bow and arrow, hit the man's throat with an arrow, and then rushed out to catch his fallen body to prevent him from making any noise.

As the three of them went deeper, the road became wider and wider. "How many people are there?" Arthur complained in a low voice. Counting the first two, the three of them had killed seven people.

"I don't know. There is an open space in front of us. We have no chance." Charles looked at the terrain in front of him. It was an open space, and five people were enjoying a meal around a table in the middle of the open space.

"Just open fire. I guess there aren't many people inside." Arthur looked at the situation, handed the gun from behind to the two of them, and then pulled out the pistol from his waist.

Arthur was the first to open fire. A sneak attack on these savages by a sharpshooter like him was simply a dimension-reducing blow. The sound of huge gunshots echoed in the cave. Zhou Zheng and Charles also fired at their targets.

A man who was chewing bones was first shot in the head. Blood mixed with brain matter sprayed on the face of the person opposite. The man was frightened and stretched out his tongue to lick the white substance around his mouth.

The remaining people screamed and rushed forward with their own weapons, but they all fell on the way to the charge under the firepower of the three people.

Hearing the gunshots and screams, more people rushed out from deeper inside the cave with weapons in hand. They waved axes and long knives, shouting incomprehensible words, as if they didn't care about their lives, and were not afraid of bullets at all. .

"Are these people crazy? Don't they know what fear is?" Arthur shot a howling savage to death. His companions completely ignored his blown head and continued to rush over his body. Come up.

The revolver was out of bullets. Arthur simply dropped the pistol in his hand, picked up the rifle and continued shooting. He didn't want to fight with these people.

A few savages carried their companions as human shields and continued to rush towards a few people, but how could flesh and blood bodies withstand the power of bullets? The three of them stood on a high place again, and those people paid the lives of seven or eight people. After that, he finally figured out that rushing like this was not a problem, and swung his weapon over with all his strength. Immediately, flying axes and flying knives were thrown at the three of them, and the three of them had to hide.

The savages seized the opportunity, picked up the weapons of their fallen companions on the ground, and rushed forward one after another.
