America 1881: They Call Me Legend

Chapter 186 One month later

A month later, outside the stone fortress, the treasure hunting team was ready to go.

Chen Jianqiu was riding Heiluobo. He had already changed into a set of thicker velvet leather clothes. Zhang Danian asked Niu San and the others to bring this clothes.

The old man originally prepared a deer-head hat for Chen Jianqiu. He took a group of people to hunt in the Colorado forest and sewed it with his own hands.

However, firstly, the weather in New Mexico is not as outrageous as in Colorado, at least the daytime temperature is not bad. Secondly, Chen Jianqiu feels that having a deer head on his head is too cool.

So, the hat remains on the wall behind the office.

A few days ago, Asuka and Niu San finally arrived at the stone fortress with about twenty strong young men. They all carried brand-new imitation Winchester repeating rifles on their backs.

Niu San told him that these ten people had all worked in Browning's gun shop and received shooting training. They were currently the most elite force at Zhang Danian's place.

Ever since Chen Jianqiu left Denver, the situation there for Zhang Danian has not been good.

As before, almost no one was willing to sell them land, even the poorest land. They had to find a temporary settlement at the foot of the Canon Mountain.

Nothing could be grown on that land, so Zhang Danian led the men into the forest and became hunters. For a while, their lives were relatively smooth.

Later, Browning Gun Shop in Montrose began to provide them with jobs.

Montrose was not far from Canon, so Zhang Danian began to arrange for young people in the village to rotate their jobs.

The most bizarre thing is that since they started providing security services to Browning Gun Shop, the gun shop's business suddenly became better.

Correspondingly, after they took over the batches of guns from the gun shop, more and more Chinese came to the settlement.

Some of them were miners from nearby and some were manufacturing workers from around Denver.

But Zhang Danian still paid attention to the news about Chen Jianqiu, and he became more determined to follow this young master.

Therefore, when Feiniao came to Canon, Zhang Danian couldn't wait to take his troops to Roswell immediately.

After the old man read the front of the letter, the wrinkles on his face relaxed like spring rain in the mud, and handed the letter to Niu San.

Niu San also finished reading. He and the old man were probably the few literate people in the TP army. He hesitantly said to Zhang Danian:

"Uncle Da Nian, I have something to say, I don't know whether I should say it or not."

Zhang Danian was full of ambition: "If you fart, hurry up!"

"I think what you are saying, young master, is that what they need for the time being are some strong men who can fight and work. You sir..."

Zhang Danian's eyes widened: "Am I worse than you? Am I unable to eat you? Or am I unable to kill you when I chop people?"

Niu San remained silent and handed the reverse side of the letter to Zhang Danian.

Only then did the old man discover that there was a sentence written on the reverse side of the letter:

"Uncle Danian, I know you can still pee in the wind, but I hope you can still stabilize the overall situation over there for the time being. We will meet soon."

Zhang Danian burst into tears, and Niu San deeply felt that the young master knew everything like a god.

In addition, during this month, the expert team composed of Holmes, Smith and engineer Jackson has not stopped searching near Roswell.

In addition to the original oil well, they also discovered an underground oil spring to the west of the ranch. These are surface oils that are easy to exploit.

In addition to the two oil wells, they also did something very meaningful.

A well was drilled inside the stone fortress.

After repeated verification by two geologists, the aquifer around Roswell does exist, and the closest one to them is directly under the stone fortress.

Yes, Vaughan and his soldiers had dug holes everywhere before, except under the place where they lived, so they had to go far away to find water.

Smith happily wrote down all the discoveries he had made here in a letter, and then Abiot took him out with him. As expected, nothing happened.

At the same time, I also brought the accounting report on the abnormal use of funds.

As for the Nahua people, everything was fine on both sides. Chen Jianqiu personally sent supplies and brought back some wood and fur products.

Geronimo set off with the warriors of the Apache tribe towards their homeland.

Chen Jianqiu has not asked anyone to contact the Apaches who stayed in the mine for the time being. Firstly, he is completely safe. Secondly, if he contacts Luo Cen rashly, he may risk exposing his position.

After some discussion, the treasure hunting team that finally set off was led by Chen Jianqiu, Adam, Danny and his wife, Holmes, Hanif and his follower Downey, and Sean, plus three veterans of Niu San's subordinates.

Basically they are all elite.

Asuka stayed in the fortress, working with Niu San and the others to help Camilla. They needed to work with the expert team and the employees who passed the interview to set up the drilling well and the oil pump.

In the next few days, the treasure hunting team traveled south.

Corn hovered in the sky in front of the team, which quickly led them to find the river mentioned by the old man of the Nahua tribe.

According to the Nahua people, they should cross the river, but in that case, they would go east.

After Chen Jianqiu and Holmes repeatedly confirmed that the direction was correct, they continued southward along the river.

On both sides of the river bank, there are towering vertical cliffs, and the stones have been weathered into fragments of different sizes. Depending on the flow section, some places are covered with vegetation, while other places are still bare.

As he rode, Holmes sketched on his map.

According to his judgment, the river is actually a north-south river called the Pecos River, which originates from central and northern New Mexico and flows through eastern New Mexico and western Texas.

"You think, if we go all the way south along the river, wouldn't it be more convenient to take a boat?" Sean said to himself, probably because his butt hurt a little.

"If you can get us a few ships now, we can consider your suggestion." Danny said from the back of the team.

Chen Jianqiu ignored the bickering between the two men. He suddenly discovered that the corn suddenly no longer flew forward, but kept hovering in the sky not far ahead.

While circling, it also sent out an eagle whistle.

Chen Jianqiu hurried forward.

The sound of water ahead grew louder as the distance approached, until it merged into a loud noise.

Black Radish stopped in front, and everyone quickly caught up.

Chen Jianqiu finally understood the reason why the Nahua people misunderstood this river.

"Danny, I guess, even if Sean conjures a boat, you won't be willing to sit on it," Chen Jianqiu said.

The Pecos River was cut off in front of them, and the water roared straight down with a mighty force.

A waterfall appeared below them.
