Chapter 595 Chewing Tobacco and Horseshoe

Zhang Heng only took a day off before returning to the game checkpoint. Although the proxy war would not start until half a month later, he still had to complete a quest before that.

At the same time and seat, Zhang Heng laid on the sofa and put the alarm clock on his chest.

When he saw the quest’s name, Zhang Heng knew where he would be sent to this time. The background information of this round proved his guess was right. If he remembered correctly, the stipulation of “$10 for 160 acres of land” came from the Homestead Act, signed by the 16th President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln, during the Civil War. It managed to bring the already soaring westward movement to a climax again.

Countless American citizens who yearned for wealth had flocked to the west, where they worked the land and built their homes. Simultaneously, many villains, thugs, gamblers, murderers, and the people who lost their land and wealth during the American Civil War also headed to the west, far away from the prosperous and stable East Coast and the legal system. The west had become a paradise for desperadoes.

The ma.s.sacre and exile of Indians accompanying the Westward Movement aggravated contradictions and hatred between the Native Americans and the pioneers. It turned the west into land infested with unimaginable peril. When Zhang Heng opened his eyes, he found himself standing in a desert. Red rock cliffs were everywhere, and spa.r.s.e bushes and cacti were probably the only colors in the Gobi Desert. This time, the situation was similar to that of the Soviet-Finnish war. He was still wearing his short-sleeved s.h.i.+rt, shorts, and sneakers from the real world. Other than that, his mobile phone and keys were also in his pocket. Since the Pestilence Bone Bow was too conspicuous, he did not bring it into the game. Instead, it was replaced by the Pestilence’s White Horse Crown and other game items he put in his backpack. Zhang Heng then went and checked his character panel briefly.
