Wilderness Redemption Tour

Chapter 20 Gun Competition

Sadie threw a box of revolver bullets to Lin Yan and said, "Remember to prepare life-saving items in the future."

Lin Yan took the paper box, said "Oh", put it on his waist, and said, "Let's go over and take a look."

Arriving at this obviously higher hillside, Lin Yan did not see any robbery or assault scenes, but instead saw a man wearing a large Mexican-style straw hat practicing shooting.

Below this raised hillside is a ravine with little grass. A railway track crosses the ravine from the side, and people have built a bridge over the ravine. Glass bottles and empty cans as shooting targets are placed around this wooden bridge.

The man at the foot of the hill heard the neighing of a horse, looked up and saw a man and a woman sitting on the horses, looking at him curiously from top to bottom.

"The people up there, are you interested in a match?" the man below said to Lin Yan and Sadie.

"I traveled all the way north from my country to challenge the real sharpshooters. Who among you thinks you are one?" the man continued.

"He seems to be challenging us. Do you want to try?" Lin Yan asked Sadie.

Sadie glanced at him and said with a smile: "From your tone, you seem to be very interested. Then you go first. If you fail, I will compete with him again."

Tsk, I will fail? Are you kidding! I am a man with the "Eye of Death". Lin Yan muttered in his heart and said, "Well, I will let you see my strength."

After saying that, Lin Yan took the lead in controlling his horse to go down the hillside. He dismounted and said, "Although I don't think I'm a sharpshooter, I want to give it a try."

"Well, let's warm up first, and I'll see how strong you are." The man said, raising his rifle. Seeing that Lin Yan had nothing in his hands, he asked, "Where's your gun?"

Lin Yan opened his windbreaker, pointed to the revolver in his holster and said, "Here, isn't this it?"

When the other party saw that Lin Yan showed off a pistol, his expression was a little unhappy. "My friend, are you mistaken? You are actually going to compete with me with a pistol at such a long distance. Aren't you a little too confident?"

So you want to compete with me using a rifle, which I don't have either. Sadie seemed to have only brought a revolver. Hey! Why am I thinking about this? Even if I have a rifle, I don't know how to use it. Thinking of this, Lin Yan pretended to be calm and said, "It's just a competition, why are you taking it so seriously? Besides, isn't this distance very far? I think a pistol is just right for this distance."

The other party was so angry that his eyes widened. "I didn't expect you to be so arrogant even though you don't have a long beard. In this case, how about we raise the stakes?"

"Okay, how much do you want to bet?" Lin Yan relied on his skills to protect himself and was not inferior to him.

"Five dollars! I bet you five dollars!" the other party said angrily, holding up five fingers.

"Okay, I'll bet with you." Lin Yan said, and then he took out the revolver from the holster and held it in his hand in a cool manner.

"There," the man pointed to the wooden structure supporting the train tracks. "There are nine bottles or cans there. Whoever hits the most will win."

Lin Yan checked the gun in his hand again, and after confirming that there was no problem, he said, "No problem."

"Okay, raise your gun and aim. You can start shooting when I say start." said the man, holding the gun.

Lin Yan raised the revolver with one hand and aimed at one of the wine bottles.

"start!"

At the moment the man said start, Lin Yan decisively activated the "Eye of Death" skill. As his heartbeat accelerated, everything in Lin Yan's eyes began to slow down. "Bang!" After firing a shot, Lin Yan temporarily turned off the skill, and saw the bullet he shot hit the edge of the wine bottle and hit the wooden stake behind.

"Damn it, I missed the target." Lin Yan cursed in annoyance.

"Haha, I told you that the pistol wouldn't work. Looks like you're doomed to lose this game." The man laughed after his first bullet successfully hit a target.

"It's just the first round, it's still unclear who will win or lose." Lin Yan retorted.

The man ignored him, raised his gun and aimed, hitting the second target again.

Lin Yan also calmed down, and after quickly summing up the reasons for his mistakes, he aimed at the target again with a blank face, and then activated the "Eye of Death" skill. His heartbeat quickened again, and the world in his eyes slowed down again. This time, Lin Yan aimed at five targets respectively, and poured all the remaining bullets in the revolver into them.

After firing the last bullet in the pistol, Lin Yan turned off the skill with a little breathlessness. Five of the targets in the distance were hit almost at the same time.

"How...how did you manage to hit four targets at the same time?" The man put down his gun and looked at Lin Yan in surprise. Lin Yan did not speak, but opened the magazine of his revolver and threw out the empty shell. The man saw his action and realized that the game was not over yet, so he calmed down and aimed at his fourth target.

Lin Yan took out the bullets from the paper box and quickly filled the magazine. After loading, he turned the cylinder. At this time, the man's rifle had already loaded the fifth bullet. Lin Yan glanced at the man, smiled and activated the "Eye of Death" again. In just a moment, he fired all the bullets and then turned off the skill again.

Then, in the sights of the man's rifle, the last target shattered with a bang amid the continuous gunfire. The man put down his hand that was about to pull the trigger and said in annoyance: "Damn it, how could you win! You must be lucky! You just happened to hit it! It must be!"

Lin Yan imitated the people in the movie, raised his pistol, blew on the muzzle of the gun and said, "If you don't accept the loss, we can come down and fight."

"Okay! I'll double the bet, let's have another match!" The man said, and then he picked up the rifle again and said, "This time we'll shoot at moving targets. Look at the sky, there will be birds flying by from time to time. Whoever shoots down three of them first will win. How about that?"

Moving target? Don't you know that moving target is more beneficial to me? Lin Yan chuckled, refilled the magazine of the revolver and said, "As you wish."

"Okay, let's start now. Look in the distance, there are birds flying over." The man said, looking at the rifle's sight.

"boom."

After the flock of birds came into the range of the rifle, the man decisively pulled the trigger, and a bird in the distance fell to the ground.

Damn! You are cheating openly! I can't even reach him with a pistol at this distance. Lin Yan cursed in his heart. He could only watch the man reload and aim at the air again.

Just now, the flock of birds in the distance was frightened for a short time because one of the birds suddenly fell down, and five or six of them flew towards Lin Yan. Lin Yan saw that the muzzle of the man next to him was obviously aimed at the scattered flock of birds flying here. He knew that if the man pulled the trigger again and frightened these birds, he would have no chance of winning. Thinking of this, looking at the few birds that were almost within range, he activated the "Eye of Death" skill again.

"Bang bang bang..." Another six shots were fired in succession, and five of the birds that were closer to Lin Yan fell to the ground at the same time.

"Huh!" Lin Yan touched his pounding heart and breathed a sigh of relief. It was a close call. He almost failed because he couldn't hold on.

"Oh! Damn! Almost there!" The man cursed, then took out $15 and handed it to Lin Yan. "Here you go! Look, is it okay? I keep my word!"

Lin Yan took the money and put it in his pocket. "Thank you very much!" he said happily.

"I'm not in good shape today. You'd better be careful next time. We'll see!" After saying these harsh words, the man rode away on his horse.

Lin Yan waved at the man's back and said loudly: "Thank you for your money!"

When Sadie saw the man leave, he let down his guard and rode slowly to Lin Yan.

As soon as she came over, she looked at Lin Yan with a serious look. "You hid it so well that even Arthur and I were fooled by you."

A big question mark popped up in Lin Yan's head. He didn't know why Sadie said that. "What did I lie to you about?" he asked doubtfully.

"I didn't expect you to be such a sharpshooter. I always thought you were bragging. With your marksmanship, you are more than qualified to be a sheriff, bounty hunter, or gang leader. I don't understand how an apprentice in a circus can master the superb marksmanship that ordinary people need to practice for several years and consume tens of thousands of ammunition to master. Did you join this gang for some purpose?" Sadie actually pulled out a gun and pointed it at Lin Yan and asked.

Seeing this situation, Lin Yan immediately raised his hands to indicate that he had no ill intentions. During this process, his mind raced, and he quickly analyzed how to respond to this situation. Finally, he looked directly into Sadie's brown eyes and said sincerely, "I know you won't believe anything I say now, but I promise that my identity is absolutely innocent and I have nothing to do with the police, bounty hunters, or other gangs. I will not do anything that is detrimental to gang members. On the contrary, when they need help or are in danger, I will do my best to help and save them. Of course, this also includes you, Mrs. Adler."

Sadie looked at the clear eyes staring at her, and slowly put down the gun in his sincere tone. "I don't care what your purpose is, and the safety of the gang members has nothing to do with me. I just simply suspect that your motives are not pure. Since you said you would help me, let's go back tonight and interrogate the captured O'Driscoll gang member together, and force him to tell us where their leader is, and then we will kill him overnight. After I complete my revenge, I will not stop you from doing anything you want."

Lin Yan smiled bitterly and asked, "Mrs. Adler, you are threatening me so blatantly, aren't you afraid that I will shoot you in the back on the way?"

Sadie shook her head and said, "If what you just said is true, then you wouldn't do this."

"Aren't you afraid that what I said is false?"

Sadie pursed her lips and was silent for a while before she uttered a word. "I believe in my judgment."

Lin Yan regretted it now, regretting that he had exposed his strength in a moment of impulse. He didn't mind being threatened by Sadie, because he was innocent, and even if he was suspected, the other party would not be able to find out that he was a game player. He just felt that Sadie did not regard him as her companion after all for revenge, but more as a tool. Maybe after she avenges her husband, she will return to normal, after all, I have also seen her determination for revenge.

"Okay, I promise you. But you should do the torture yourself. I am a soft-hearted person and I can't do it."

"Don't worry about that. I can handle it myself. Besides, I think Dutch must be interested in the position of their gang leader."

"Then let's hurry back and see if there's anyone else in the camp who's interested in this. We can take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack at night." After saying that, Lin Yan jumped on his horse and galloped towards the camp.

Sadie followed him closely. The desire for revenge filled her body with energy. She wanted to destroy the O'Driscoll Gang right now.

The two returned to the Horseshoe Lookout. Lin Yan looked at the cattle and sheep tied outside the camp and realized that Arthur had come back.

Sadie jumped off the horse, and without even tying the reins to the hitching post, she ran straight to the tree where the O'Driscoll gang member was tied. Lin Yan did not follow because he felt that the torture would definitely be bloody. And how could Lin Yan, who had always lived in a big city and had never killed a fish or eaten seafood, bear to watch such a cruel scene.

He tied up their horses and first found the wagon where the equipment was stored and replenished a few boxes of revolver bullets, which was what Sadie told him when she came. Then he went to the center of the camp and took a look around. Arthur had not returned from sending the wagon away, and only Molly was sitting in Dutch's tent. Uncle, Hosea and Tilly were sitting at the table, concentrating on playing cards. Leopold, who was wearing small glasses, had not returned from lending money at high interest in the afternoon. The other men: Javier, Lenny, Bill, Charles and Micah had not returned either. However, John, who had been lying in his tent and had been scratched on the right side of his face by a wolf, was chatting with the cook Pearson at this time. It seemed that his physical condition should be much better than before.

Sadie rushed to the back of Pearson's dining car, grabbed the collar of the prisoner whose hands were tied to the tree, and said, "Kieran, right? I remember your name is right?"

The prisoner nodded with difficulty.

Sadie tightened her grip on the man's collar and said in a threatening tone, "Tell me about your gang right now. Where is your leader hiding? I advise you to tell me the truth because I'm in a hurry. If you refuse or lie to me, I don't mind chopping off your fingers, toes, arms, and legs one by one."

The captive named Jilan opened his lips cracked by lack of water and said with difficulty: "Water... give me water..."

"You want some water, right? Wait, but you'd better not test my patience!" Sadie threatened him again, then walked to the public bucket, scooped a glass of water, walked in front of Jilan, and said, "Look up."

Kiran seemed to be refreshed all of a sudden. He raised his head and opened his mouth. Sadie poured the water in her hand into his mouth. The cool water flowed down Kiran's chin and wet his shirt, but he didn't care at all and drank the water poured into his mouth in big gulps.

After pouring a glass of water, Sadie put the glass down, held it in her hand, and said expressionlessly, "Can I tell you now?"
