Survival begins with Red Dead Redemption 2

Chapter 132, Chapter 131

131,

Gun flower blooms with the eyes of death,

Six bullets rushed out of the gun almost at the same time and shot at Billy who was on guard on the hillside. Before Billy could react, he was shot and fell off his horse.

Guido Esposito's reaction was also quick. He threw away the head and wanted to draw a gun, but what landed with the head was an empty revolver, replaced by a smudge of black from Dai Ping'an's palm. Light.

Guido, who had already drawn out his gun, felt a chill in his wrist, and his right hand clutching the revolver fell to the ground.Amidst his ear-piercing wailing, the mayor of Barry, who hadn't reacted yet, was kicked out. At the same time, the modified Mauser was also aimed at the panicked Howling Wolf Gang members behind him.

"Clap clap clap..."

The unique gunshot of the Mauser pistol exploded around him, and the bullet casings ejected hit Guido Esposito's face one by one.He was held in front of him by Dai Ping'an with a sharp Hidden Blade. He watched helplessly as Dai Pingan held a twenty-gun Mauser pistol horizontally in his left hand, drawing a fan of death in the night sky with bullets.

From left to right, the men who reacted the fastest were shot in the head just as soon as they raised their weapons. What surprised Esposito even more was that the [-]-shot gunshots in Dai Pingan's hands had not yet fallen. On the east side of the camp, Intensive gunshots rang out on the Obravo Heights in the direction of Buchanbao.

The sound of continuous rifle fire came like popping beans, and the gangsters of the Howling Wolf Gang guarding the east side of the Chinese labor camp fell down in unison.Accompanied by the lighting of the lanterns one after another, the sound of horseshoes rushed down from the high ground like a torrent, and went straight to the Howling Wolf Gang outside the Chinese labor camp.

"Blah blah blah..."

The torches in their hands made the gangsters of the Howling Wolf Gang the most conspicuous targets at night. Before they could see who was rushing over, the continuous pistol bullets began to harvest their lives.

When they reacted and dropped the torches in their hands, the war horse with the lantern hanging on its chest also rushed out of the darkness, followed by cavalrymen wielding sabers.

They were indeed cavalry, and they were regular cavalry from Buchnerburg. The metal buttons on the cavalry uniforms were still shining under the firelight, but what was more dazzling than the flash was the cold light on the cavalry sabers.

The sharp knife light cut through the darkness with the inertia of the horse's charge, along with the flying stumps and broken arms of the Screaming Wolf gangsters and the rolling human heads that fell in front of the horse's hooves.There were one or two hundred bandits who surrounded the camp of Chinese laborers, but this sudden charge took away seventy or eighty people.

The cavalry who roared past did not turn around, which gave the leaderless Howling Wolf Gang a chance, but just after they gathered together, on the west side of the Huagong camp, which is the direction the cavalry rushed, a flat carriage Maxim's roar sounded.

Under the dancing flames, the bullets sliced ​​through the Howling Wolf Gang's team like an invisible jigsaw, and the fresh horse meat mixed with human blood began to shatter when the scorching bullets passed through.

Hearing the wailing of his subordinates, Guido Esposito, who fell to the ground, couldn't help closing his eyes, which was the only thing he could do at the moment.Because before Dai Pingan rushed into the darkness, he not only shot Mayor Barry in the leg, but also broke the tendon in his left hand.

The sound of running footsteps caused Guido to open his eyes, and several Chinese people rushed over.Unlike the Chinese laborers I had seen in the camp before, what they were holding was not shovels and sticks, but black shotguns.

The mayor of Barry, who was still holding his legs and screaming, was knocked unconscious by the butt of a gun. After the bleeding wound was covered with a handful of loess grabbed from the ground, the two were dragged back together.

At this time, Dai Ping'an had already rushed to the northern hillside, which was where Cowboy Billy was shot.In the grass where the opponent's horse fell, Dai Pingan found the horse that had been shot and fell to the ground, unable to kick its front legs. There was a blood stain left beside it, which was fresh but not much.

Following the trail of blood dripping, Dai Pingan soon found three dilapidated and abandoned houses further north on the hillside.

It is inappropriate to say that it is abandoned. Two of the three houses have almost been razed to the ground, and there are still a few crumbling walls left in the last one, barely supporting the roof consisting of a few broken wooden boards above.

The ticking blood disappeared, but from the wall that could collapse with one kick, Dai Pingan heard the sound of suppressed breathing.

"Stab!"

After rough friction, a ray of light bloomed on the head of the match, and he threw out a piece of wooden stick that he picked up casually.

"Bah!"

Gunshots rang out,

Before landing, the wooden stick was hit by bullets and flew out.
Billy, who had shot, also jumped out from behind the wall, but fell to the ground because of the wound on his leg.When he raised his head again, he saw Dai Pingan hiding behind a dead tree and the cigarette in his mouth.

A red dot glowed in the darkness, and mist rising from the corner of his mouth spread across his face.

His left arm was still bleeding, and he barely sat up with the gun against the ground. He straightened up, and Billy looked at Dai Pingan:
"Why did you let me go?"

Billy didn't ask just now, but before.

Of the first six bullets that Dai Pingan fired, three were aimed at the horse, and the remaining three were one shot at the left arm, one shot at the calf, and one shot directly above the head.

With Billy's marksmanship, he can naturally distinguish between a miss and an intentional one, not to mention that if Dai Pingan really wanted his life, it would not be a wooden stick but a stick of dynamite if he threw it.

"I want to ask you this question too?" Dai Ping'an turned around from behind the tree, revealing the cowhide holster with the revolver stuck in his waist:
"Why did you let me go last time?"

"Last time?" Billy frowned: "The person hiding under the corpse in that deep ditch is you?"

"Yes, do you regret it?"

"If you shot me to death that day, you wouldn't be in such a mess today, and your brother, the mayor of Barry, wouldn't have suffered a heavy loss tonight. If I'm not wrong, this is his last manpower. Bar."

The majestic mayor of Armadillo Town, in order to deal with Colonel Beckett, colluded with the local Mexican gangs, and even used crooked ideas on wanted criminals passing by, using coercion and lure to draw big cakes with empty checks Such a crude way.

Dai Ping'an really couldn't think of any other reason except that he was at the end of his rope and no one under his command was available.

Billy smiled wryly and spread his hands:

"You guessed it right, most of his men failed to return during the attack on Fort Cloister that day. He was already desperate, but it was you who blasted the cavalry in Fort Cloister and gave him hope again. "

"So he asked his younger brother to bring a counterfeit and a bunch of Xiaolang gang bastards to threaten me?"

"How did you find out? They look alike."

Billy was also curious.

"Fake ones are fake ones. You can only bluff the Chinese laborers in the camp, and they will be exposed as soon as the gun is fired."

Dai Ping'an had never met Mayor Barry, but he had heard the other party's voice. When the "Mayor Barry" opened his mouth tonight, he sensed something was wrong.

What's more, he came out with the head in his hand just to delay the time. He didn't think he could calm down the opponent with only one head, let alone make the famous mayor of Barry turn pale with fright.

Knowing that the other party is a fake, the rest is much simpler.When the time is up, first wound Billy the cowboy with the best marksmanship, then cut off the palm of Guido, the leader of the Howling Wolf Gang, and leave the rest to the cavalry who hastily returned.

In fact, it might not be a good idea to cooperate with Mayor Barry to deal with Colonel Beckett. Everyone gets what they need.If you want to blame it, you can blame the mayor of Barry for going too far. Today he threatened Dai Pingan to cooperate with the Chinese workers in the camp. Can he use the same method to threaten Dai Pingan to die tomorrow?

Even the person sent to negotiate is a stand-in, which shows that the mayor of Barry has no sincerity in this. As for the so-called benefits promised, Dai Pingan doesn't believe a word.

"It's fake, it must be hidden." Dai Ping'an put away his smile and looked at Billy who had rested and stood up from the ground:

"Where the mayor of Barry is at this time, you probably don't necessarily know, even if you know, you definitely won't say it right."

"Do you really want to know?"

Billy patted the dust off his body and stuffed the pistol into the holster. The wound on his left arm was still dripping blood, but this did not affect the flexibility of his right hand hanging beside the holster:

"If I don't tell you, will you kill me?"

"I'm not interested in him. Without the support of the Howling Wolf Gang, he's just a lost dog. He will come out when it's time to show up."

Dai Pingan spit out the cigarette butt in his mouth, crushed it out with his foot, and stood opposite Billy.

Unlike Billy, he didn't put his hand on the edge of the holster for protection, but took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth again.

Billy spared his life, and tonight, he would pay the debt cleanly, but this didn't stop him from trying to figure out some things, such as why the other party didn't shoot himself.

"It's almost time to finish the work at the camp. After smoking this cigarette, I have to go back and have a look."

The struck matches illuminated Dai Ping'an's face, with a calm expression:

"The reason why I came here is just as curious as you, and I want to ask you why you were merciful last time. If you don't want to say it, I won't force it. You can just leave. Let's go to the sky, each side, you don't stop My way, I will never look for you again."

Dai Ping'an spoke clearly, but Billy didn't turn around and leave, nor did he speak, and Dai Ping'an on the other side was just smoking his cigarette quietly, not in a hurry.

A raven landed on the wooden plank used as the roof, tilted its head, and looked at the two motionless figures like sculptures in the darkness below.

In the end, Billy, who was still bleeding from the wound, did not remain silent:
"Some things are more troublesome to know than not to know."

"I know,"

Dai Pingan nodded:

"But I want to die to understand, and I want to live to understand."

"you sure?"

"I'm sure."

"Okay, then I'll tell you why."

As he spoke, Bill took out a coin from his pocket with his right hand:
"I chose to let you go that day because I saw a shadow of a person in you. As for why—"

Thumb flick,
While the coins are flying,

Dai Pingan heard the sound of breathing.
