Survival begins with Red Dead Redemption 2

67 Chapter 66, falling, fire, corpse

66,

As the most developed city in West Elizabeth, Blackwater Town, like St. Denis, has long been accustomed to using electric lights as the main lighting tool.The voltage is unstable, and occasional power outages are normal, but no one thought that it would stop at this critical juncture today.

It was at this moment that Dai Ping'an pulled out the double-action revolver on his chest, turned over and fell down.

On the street in front of the bar, there are also seven or eight police detectives guarding here.The blackout caused by the power outage made them subconsciously look up, and then saw two flowers of death blooming in the sky!
In the bloody world, time slowed down a bit, or Dai Pingan's hands moved a little faster.Point to the direction you heard in advance, aim—firing—aim again—fire again—

"Bah..." "Bah..."

Seven bullets exploded out of the gun chamber at a blinking speed, so fast that the sound of the gunshot seemed to be elongated.Seven petals flashed past, and the police detectives on the south side of the street shook their bodies. At the same time, Dai Ping'an's body also hit the wires in the air.

The two thin wires couldn't bear his weight, and they would break apart after a slight swing, but this swing time was enough for Dai Pingan to change the direction of the gun.

The flower of death blooms again!

"Boom!" "Boom!"

The two gunshots did not seem to change. This time it was the three detectives from the north who were shot.When Dai Ping'an fell to the ground with a "bang", there was only one horse and the police detective standing on the street.

The sound of falling at close range startled the horse to raise its front hooves. Before the panicked police detective could figure out what happened, a pale and cold hand had already held the rein for him, followed by the gun that came up. mouth.

"Bah!"

The bullet passed through the body, and Dai Pingan pushed the corpse down and got on the horse by virtue of inertia.The panicked horse didn't even realize that it had changed its owner, and felt the rein shake and rushed out.

Police detectives also came out to check at the intersection ahead, but what they saw was Dai Pingan who had drawn his pistol from the holster on his chest.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"...

Continuous gunshots rang out. This time there was no flower of death blooming, but this did not affect the accuracy of Dai Pingan's bullets. Whenever a spark flashed by the muzzle of the gun, a police detective who rushed out fell down.

When the twelve bullets in the gun were exhausted, the horse also rushed out of Heishui Town.Dai Pingan reined in the horse, and at the same time inserted the double-action revolver back into his chest, he pulled out the twenty rings of his lower back.

"Clap clap clap..."

Mauser's [-]-shot unique gunshot rang out, and the five police detectives who came out from behind were all thrown down at the intersection with their men and horses.

The din of gunfire did not bring a brief silence, and the town of Heishui, immersed in darkness, boiled like a boiling pot.The police detectives in the town rushed to the stake where the horse was tied, got on the horse and chased after the gunfire.

Dai Pingan didn't leave right away, he handed the twenty rounds to his left hand, and held the barrel of the gun with his right hand, using the heat from it to warm his fingers that were starting to feel numb from the cold.

The bright moon was in the sky, and Sheriff Hickson's white shirt stood out on the roof of the bar in the moonlight.The sheriff was holding a Lancaster repeating rifle, and he also tried to catch Dai Ping'an with the gunfire just now.

The distance of nearly 300 meters made Dai Ping'an sigh. This distance is far beyond the range of ordinary pistols. Even if Mauser's [-]-gun bullet is lucky enough to reach it, he is not sure of hitting it with a single shot.

At this time, it would be nice to have a rifle, even a burst of fire.

The oncoming cold wind whizzed by, making Dai Ping'an's eyes darken in bursts. He quickly took out the wine bottle and took a few sips before he recovered.

Hearing the approaching neighing in the town, Dai Ping'an slapped the horse's butt heavily, and the steed galloped westward.In less than a few seconds, police detectives chased after them. Forty or fifty war horses hung lanterns and galloped towards the vast plain to the west.

With the departure of a large number of police detectives, Heishui Town was finally silent in the dark. It took a while for a few bold civilians to come out to check the situation.

Sergeant Hickson's face was so dark that it couldn't be darker. He climbed down the ladder and threw the repeating rifle heavily to his confidants:
"Catch me! That mouse fell from upstairs, it must not run far, if you can't catch it, you don't have to come back, remember! I want to live!"

"Fix the hostages in the bar, let them understand what happened tonight, it was Dai Ping'an who killed the two mayors! If there is something they don't understand, let them escape in Dai Ping'an with the two mayor's wives Unfortunately, he was killed in the process. There is a power outage in Heishui Town, and anything can happen."

"Also, notify the people on the north side to seal off the intersection. During this time, no living person is allowed to cross the Upper Montana River and return to the north side. If you can't catch that damned rat Dai Pingan tonight, you'll have to punish those dirty Hua Gong will do it, and we must force that valuable mouse out!"

"Finally, find out the cause of the blackout for me. It must not be a coincidence. No matter who it is, find him out. I will scalp him with my own hands! Do you understand?"

"Understood. Then, do you want the child to come with me..."

"What child?"

"The mayor has two children, a boy and a girl, and the deputy mayor also has two sons..."

"You're crazy, that's a child, there's no threat to us." Sergeant Hixon grabbed his confidant's collar and sprayed his saliva on the other's face:
"They didn't go to the bar, and they weren't hostages. How could something happen tonight. After a few days, when the matter subsides, find a way to calm down. Don't forget, we are still the police!"

Pushing away the ignorant subordinates, Sergeant Hixon, carrying a lantern, led the four detectives towards the police station in Heishui Town.With so much going on tonight, he needed time to think about how to write tomorrow's report.

Passing by the street in front of the bar, the bodies of the dead police detectives were lying on the ground in disorder. Sergeant Hixon looked anxious and angry. The anxious ones were his loyal police officers, and the angry ones were these The trash man didn't stop him, and was beaten to death without even firing a single shot.

and many more!

Sergeant Hixon, who walked to the gate of the police station, suddenly remembered that those scalps worth a lot of bounties were still left in the bar, and then left to bring people back.

In just a short while, there was a stench of burning on the street in front of the bar. It was unknown that the corpse had been burned.A police detective was bending over and dragging the corpses with great effort, trying to sort them together. The row of corpses at the entrance of the bar hadn't been sorted out yet, and it seemed that no one had gone in yet.

After the baptism of bullets and the panic of hostages, the floor-to-ceiling glass of the bar window has been smashed to pieces, and only some leftovers are still inlaid around it.From a distance, the whole bar looks like the head of a beast with its mouth open.At the throat of the beast, two corpses lay there in a daze. An overturned lantern was lying in the center of the corpses, and it was crackling and burning. The scorching smell came from here.

Sergeant Hickson was the first to notice something was wrong. He stopped and took out his gun. After the four people around him also took out their guns, he slowly followed behind them.

Carefully stepping on the shards of glass under their feet, several people approached the bar, and finally saw everything inside clearly by the flame of the lantern.

The broken wine bottle and the chaotic bar are the same as when they left. The only difference is that there is a lantern between the two of them. But it was the pile of scalps!
In the flames, hundreds of scalps twisted, burned, and blackened, illuminating the faces of the two mayors when they died:

The mayor, who was in disbelief, was covering the wound on his heart, and the cowboy revolver in his hand fell aside. Next to him was the deputy mayor, who was also dying, staring at everyone with his eyes that could not be closed.

Looking at the two familiar faces, a tingling feeling suddenly climbed up Sheriff Hixon's scalp. He was not afraid, but thought of a question

——Without light, how to arrange the corpses on the street!
too late to turn back,
Gunshots sounded behind him.
