New Gods of North America

Three horses quietly crossed the ridge,

After looking around with the telescope and confirming that there was no danger ahead, Wayne ran back to the ridge and used a small mirror to signal the two carriages behind.

——Even the young cowboys in the West who are not good at math know that in the wild, if you want to be inconspicuous, it is better to stand in front of the mountain than stay on the ridgeline.

Although everyone still chose to continue driving the carriage forward,

However, as the distance to the gang's hideout is getting closer and closer, necessary forward observation is still necessary for safety reasons.

So the carriage continued along the increasingly crude and bumpy mountain road.

Neither high-profile nor concealed.

Then Wayne, Inesa, and Captain Harvey,

Then he changed horses,

Move forward sideways from the mountain road.

If you encounter a small group of enemies,

Then let the carriage try a deception tactic.

If you encounter a large army,

Then hurry up and run away.

Wayne would occasionally probe Captain Harvey's worldview.

Um,

He is sunny, honest, and his interpersonal relationships and career planning are reliable.

Besides being a Muggle,

He feels like a qualified and good police officer.

At least there is no vulgarity,

Nor is he like some of the native Westerners, who have a clarity that has not been polluted by knowledge.

Overall it's OK.

As long as Captain Harvey doesn't start learning how to flip a coin, Wayne feels he can still be superficial friends with him.

This went on for a while.

Because everyone had the approximate location and exact direction provided by the previous survivors, when the sun was about to set on the distant ridge, Wayne and his group discovered a place that was suspected to be a gang's hideout.

In a mountain cave,

Found a place that looked like a small village.

A circle of wooden exterior walls, connected by sharpened tree stumps that are one meter high, looks a bit like the work of indigenous people.

There are many wooden houses of different sizes inside, which seem to have been built by immigrants using semi-processed components.

Said it was a "suspected" gang hideout,

It's because according to the nature of western gangs, it's okay to let them kill, rob and drink, but if they are asked to cut down trees and build villages in the deep mountains and forests, their temperament is more or less out of place.

——If you are willing to do manual labor, it would be great to start your own small farm instead of hanging out with gangs.

So Wayne ran to signal the carriage,

Inissa and Captain Harvey continued to hold the telescope and observe carefully for a while.

At last the carriage veered off the road,

After finding a small wood to hide temporarily, everyone gathered around the carriage again.

The crowd gathered around a simple topographic map.

The meeting began in a low voice.

"Based on the clues provided by the survivors and the situation we just observed, the small village in the mountain valley ahead is most likely a gang's hideout.

"We just observed that there are a total of ten people in there, and there may be more in fact.

"All men, all immigrant-looking, no slaves or indigenous people.

"There are no farm tools or places to dry game. It doesn't look like a newly developed farm or a hunter's rest house. There are no signs of work. Many people are carrying weapons, which is consistent with the characteristics of a gang den."

Inesha said over there,

Captain Harvey, representing the county police, and Wayne, representing the reinforcements from Black Rock Town, both nodded, indicating their agreement with her.

"Look at their village. The outer wooden wall is about two meters high and has only one entrance and exit.

"The area near the entrance should be a stable. A little further in, it seems to be where the ordinary members live. The area opposite the stable should be something like a warehouse.

"This is probably the kitchen, and the rooms a little further away in the back are probably where the chief or leaders live.

"As for the largest one in the middle, no one has been in or out yet, so it's hard to tell. It might be a hay storage room or something like that, but I'm not sure. That's probably it."

After Inissa finished her observation summary,

Wayne looked at Harvey Dent and asked him to summarize the opinions on behalf of the county police. "Captain Harvey, what do you think we should do?"

Captain Harvey hesitated for a moment:

“I feel that we cannot directly conclude that it is the gang’s hideout at this point.

"If we launch an attack rashly, we may accidentally injure innocent people. However, if that place is really a gang hideout, it will be dangerous if we approach it easily."

Lina and Parker next to them raised their hands at the same time.

Then came Lina's voice, "We can wait until dark, then catch someone and ask him!"

Captain Harvey was a little confused:

"Just now I saw them all moving around in the village. Are they so easy to catch?"

oops,

This kind of thing is hard to explain to a Muggle like you.

So Wayne also raised his hand and said, "I will vote for Lina's proposal as well."

Then Inesa raised her hand,

Dr. Lecter seemed to have a high emotional intelligence, and he followed the crowd and raised his hand.

Captain Xavi looked at his teammates in a slightly stunned manner.

I don't know when this group of people suddenly developed a tacit understanding.

In the end, he could only nod and said, "In that case, let's do this."

…

Night falls,

After a simple meal of cold food, Wayne and his friends began to organize their equipment with the help of the kerosene lamp covered with a lampshade.

Every failure is a learning experience.

Wayne was holding a lever rifle and applying gun oil in his hand. Two bullet belts were slung across his shoulders, crisscrossing his body to form a big "cross".

On the left side of the belt was a bottle of holy water, on the right was a revolver, and behind it hung a bundle of high explosives.

I just want to see,

Who can bully me this time for not bringing a spear?

There is no moon tonight. It is a pitch-black, windy and perfect night for murder.

Lina lived up to expectations.

Late at night, Parker really came back carrying a drunk man.

It is said that he drank too much.

Then when I went out to pee, Peter bit me.

Raise the kerosene lamp with the lampshade slightly higher.

Let his face be exposed to the light coming from under the lampshade.

Wayne found some ropes and tied him up like a dumpling, then stuffed a cloth ball into his mouth.

Then, she and Lina pointed guns at his head.

While Captain Harvey and Dr. Lecter were not there yet, the big spider Peter crawled over and took a bite.

Then the man suddenly got a shock.

Woke up.

Then he saw two black gun muzzles and a reflective six-pointed star-shaped police badge in front of him.

Next to him was Wayne's face with a gloomy expression, and even his voice was gloomy:

"Knowing that we caught you, what do you want to do?"

The man was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

Wayne cocked the pistol, still pointing it at him, and asked:

“If you are willing to cooperate, then nod again.

"But if you scream or refuse to cooperate, you will die. Do you understand?"

The man nodded repeatedly.

At this time, Captain Harvey, Inissa and others also came over, and several people surrounded the prisoners in a circle.

"very good.

"Then tell us what you usually do, how many people are there in there now, and what's going on in there."
