Chapter 621: Chapter 299: Full Moon_3

Aside from that, there was another card that was too dim to see directly. There was no time to pull up the card information from the system. Lin Wu pocketed the card and rushed toward the second floor.

Running up to the second floor, he listened for the sounds. Lin Wu leaned over the railing and fired downwards. Unexpectedly, the cowboy below was battle-hardened. With his pistol aimed at the railing, he was slowly advancing upward when both of them were shot simultaneously. Lin Wu was hit in the right shoulder blade, while his adversary died on the spot.

Lin Wu, yearning for pain medication, couldn’t afford to tend to his own pain. The female cowboy had already begun her assault, pistol in hand, shooting as she moved up the stairs. Lin Wu counted her bullets and stood up after she had fired them all, immediately ducking back without completing the motion to aim and shoot.

He ducked because Lin Wu had a bad premonition.

The female cowboy, who had shown exceptional prowess before, and the male cowboy who had already shot Lin Wu, were not to be underestimated.

Just as Lin Wu ducked back, the railing’s wood splintered from the female cowboy’s shot, blasting a large chunk away. Her running out of bullets was indeed a trap she had set, with her shotgun as the ace up her sleeve, waiting for Lin Wu to finish counting before ambushing him.

The female cowboy gently climbed the stairs to the second floor. Now, she had to gamble: left or right? A slight noise came from the left, and without hesitation, she stepped forward and sprayed the left corridor. Meanwhile, Lin Wu, who had used the noise as a decoy, was on the right. The female cowboy’s shot missed, and she made no effort to resist, resignedly dropping her gun, turning to face the bullets, and then falling to her death.

At this moment, the sound of repeater guns erupted from outside the compound wall, and a cowboy guarding the side entrance was struck down. The remaining cowboys quickly sought cover and returned fire. Maya and Hong Yi took turns shooting, each covering one side, and they had to shift their positions before shooting. Qinglang took a pistol and guarded the main entrance to prevent the enemy from charging out on horseback.

Through the walkie-talkie, Lin Wu learned the cowboys’ positions. He descended to the lower floor and ambushed them. Surrounded on all sides, the cowboys didn’t last long before they were all dead. Unfortunately, due to the gunfight, he only managed to loot the last body. He didn’t get a gun, but rather a Professional Card: Negotiator.

The Negotiator card made it easier to discover task and route information during interactions with humans. Additionally, humans naturally felt more goodwill and trust toward a Negotiator.

The card Lin Wu obtained was the Campfire Carriage. Inside the carriage was a campfire with an eternal small flame that would not extinguish. Fuel could be added to control the fire’s intensity. This wasn’t the campfire carriage’s greatest feature; the carriage could be upgraded to level ten, each level further slowing the invasion of the darkness and Blood Mist.

Disadvantage: No items other than fuel could be placed inside the carriage, meaning it could not be used for cooking.

Maya again felt a headache with yet another carriage full of zombies. Now they could attach the Campfire Carriage, but they could not rearrange the order of the carriages, only fasten the Campfire Carriage behind the passenger carriage.

Maya checked the time: "We have 10 minutes."

The four of them ventured into the backyard. Awen was still kneeling on the ground. Maya interrogated Awen while the other three grabbed the shovels the cowboys had left behind and started digging.

The story was about as Lin Wu had guessed. This was the lair of Black Wind Village, and the house belonged to the big boss MoMo. Black Wind Village was the main antagonist in the story, committing robberies along the train tracks in their daily activities. MoMo had buried the gold he had robbed from nearby prospectors in the cemetery and planned to transport it to the factory for smelting into solid Gold Nuggets in a few days. However, they hadn’t expected the rumors of wolves and the State Government’s summons for the townspeople to evacuate immediately.

The seven dead cowboys were part of a subsidiary belonging to Black Wind Village, comparable to a subsidiary company. They were unaware of Boss’ identity or that this was where the Boss hid the gold. Or rather, even if they had known, they would have robbed it all the same—after all, being bandits meant robbing anybody.
