Chapter 626 Wendy’s Plan

“Managed to hit him?”

The battle on the sheriff’s side soon came to an end. Since they managed to get closer to the enemy, they did gain something in return. Two thugs had been successfully killed and another four wounded. Nonetheless, three thugs managed to get away unscathed.

As for Zhang Heng’s side, one man got injured, and the enemy killed the other. The outcome had rendered the sheriff speechless.

Fortunately, the military uniforms had managed to put fear into the goons. Besides that, Zhang Heng’s expert marksmans.h.i.+p also helped destroy the bandits; his confidence had made them reluctant to fight the war. Otherwise, the situation would’ve only gotten worse.

At that moment, however, the sheriff was more concerned about Cook’s life and death. “Yes,” Zhang Heng nodded. “Where?”

“Head.”

“At such a great distance, in a pitch-black forest, and under the protection of the thugs, you still managed to shoot him in the head?!” Although the sheriff had the chance to witness Zhang Heng’s expert marksmans.h.i.+p before, he still could not help but ask him about the unbelievable feat. “Strictly speaking, I fired two shots. You are right. Many people surrounded him, and I had to shoot and kill one of his guys first. After that, I killed another

runners,” Zhang Heng said. “I have seen so many weird things at my age. I have seen a man’s crotch getting stung by a hornet. I have seen someone getting killed by a bullet falling from the sky. No one knew who the murderer was, but I still want to say: what happened to you was simply a miracle. Your marksmans.h.i.+p and eyesight are too good. You are the G.o.dd.a.m.n miracle itself! A one-man army indeed!” gushed the sheriff in significant excitement. “Have you found Matthew yet?” “No. What about you?”

“It’s too dark at night, and I can’t see clearly. But the good news is that at least I don’t see him among the thugs we just killed. But if you really killed Cook, then Matthew might be in danger. With Cook by his side, Matthew’s safety is not a problem. However, if Cook’s dead, then the remaining thugs are likely to blame Matthew. So we’d better catch up with them immediately.”

“I won’t go with you guys,” said Zhang Heng. Zhang Heng knew his horseriding skills couldn’t match up to them, and although he was improving by the day, the combination of him and Radish made it impossible to catch up with Wendy. Let alone going after a bunch of thugs who had a forte of coming and going without a trace. The sheriff did not force Zhang Heng to go along with them. So far, Zhang Heng had the highest kill count in the group. Coupled with his previous masterful shots, Cook members should have lost the courage to resist. And there were only a dozen of them left. In other words, Zhang Heng’s side had outnumbered the enemy. Although the farmers and miners were not good at shooting, it was advantageous to have them around as cover for the finer marksmen.

Saving Matthew was the utmost priority. So, the sheriff jumped on his horse and went after them without saying much.

Seeing how the rest were going after them, Zhang Heng frowned. He felt that something wasn’t right. Things had gone a little too smoothly tonight. Of course, this had something to do with their preparations. That said, Cook Gang’s combat effectiveness shown tonight seemed somewhat inconsistent with the legend. Besides, as the big boss of this dungeon, Zhang Heng had shot Cook right on the head-he obviously wouldn’t survive from such an injury. Nonetheless, Zhang Heng received no game points for killing him—the only notification he received was that he had killed ten players and was rewarded 30 points. There was still no progress for the primary mission. Did he miss something?
