1146 Under the Stars

Ignoring the brutal operation at the entrance of the tavern, Lin Chi took out a few blood-stained crumpled banknotes from the bag on horseback and put them into his backpack.

In addition to money, these bandits also grabbed some gold jewelry and other decorations, and Lin Chi, who was still poor when he first entered the game, put these things in his backpack.

The loot looted by the bandits was looted. Lin Chi came to the corpse on the sand, picked up the wooden-handled rifle that had fallen aside, and found more than a dozen rifle bullets from the bag on the bandit's waist, which directly replenished the ammunition.

Immediately afterwards, the item introduction appeared in Lin Chi's sight:

Winchester M1873 rifle (scarred).

Firearms.

Item Class: Fine.

Ranged weapons, which require proficiency to use, require a strength of 13.

The gun never jams.

"Winchester M1873 rifle, very well made and of exceptional quality. This rifle completely changed the history of the American West, so it was called the "Gun of the Conquest of the West" by later generations. ”

"These bandits are well equipped......

Lin Chi weighed the rifle in his hand, and then carried it behind his back.

- Winchester M1873, an existence at the level of "Ancient Artifact" in the minds of gun enthusiasts. In the real world, the gun has long been discontinued, but there are still avid collectors who are willing to pay a lot of money to get one and "enshrine" it at home.

Since this map was not a modern map, most of the guns in Lin Chi's backpack could not be used. With this rifle, I finally got a reliable and good weapon.

Of course, a certain "big killer weapon" that I often take out can still be used in this map.

"Stop playing, let's go?" Lin Chi looked back at the Blood Blade, which was still undergoing surgery.

"Wait a minute......"

Bloodblade didn't look back, just crouched beside the bandits, continuing his disgusting work.

Seeing that the guy was still "enjoying", Lin Chi walked over slowly, picked up the Winchester M1873 he had just gotten, and pointed the gun at the bandit's shaking head.

Under the torture of boundless pain, the poor man didn't even have the strength to scream, but kept letting out a low muffled snort, and saw that the muzzle of the black hole was aimed at him, and the bandit's bleeding eyes were bent, and he nodded with his last strength:

"Kill...... Finish...... I ......"

"I won't do that, it's not over yet......"

Before the Blood Blade's words fell, Lin Chi had already pulled the trigger.

Bang!

A bullet fired almost at zero distance smashed half of the bandit's face that had just been sewn up, and the poor worm, who had always been in a state of life worse than death, finally got relief that he had not seen for a long time. By the way, Lin Chi has added a little weapon proficiency.

"What are you doing?" Bloodblade glared back at his teammates, "I'm not done yet!" ”

"Don't waste time." Lin Chi put away his rifle and looked at the corpse that had been disemboweled: "I prefer to give the enemy a good time." ”

The blood blade stared at the scarlet pupils, stared at Lin Chi's face, was silent for a moment, and finally stood up slowly:

"Don't disturb my work next time." She said coldly.

"It's not that time yet, it's never too late for you to play by yourself after finishing your business." Lin Chi reminded: "Don't forget that when I was going to sleep just now, you also asked me to come out." ”

“……”

Realizing that he couldn't say anything about the other party, Blood Blade didn't continue to talk in vain on this topic, but just looked at Lin Chi's backpack: "Did you get the money?" ”

"Found some." Lin Chi nodded.

"Come with me, to the station." Bloodblade said as he took out a bandage from his backpack and wiped the blood from his face, "I'm familiar with the map here. ”

"Can wanted criminals take the train?" Lin Chi looked at the outfit on his body.

Negative prestige value aside, now he exudes a suspicious aura just by looking at his clothes. If this map also has an organization similar to the Silver Shield Security Company, the two of them will immediately become wanted as soon as they enter a public place.

"What's the rule in this era?" Bloodblade uttered a not-so-good word: "In the West, everything can be solved with guns, and if you encounter a bounty hunter or a cowboy with a strong sense of justice, you can just destroy them when the time comes." ”

"It sounds like a lot of fun." Lin Chi smiled.

"Don't mess up, I'm not here for sightseeing." Blood Blade glanced at Lin Chi, and seemed to be a little distrustful of him: "You seemed to be quite reliable back in the 'Iron Curtain' back then, why did you become like this now?" ”

"I'd like to ask about that too." Lin Chi sneered.

In the face of all kinds of faults and accusations of the blood blade, Lin Chi had no intention of tolerating it at all. Without the mysterious good man "coach", the conflict between the two of them suddenly became much sharper.

"You just don't hold me back." Bloodblade said as he came to the brown horse's fart left by the bandits, stretched out his bloodied right hand, and tried to stroke the horse's head:

"Don't move ......"

On the little face full of scars, a kind smile appeared, I don't know if it was stimulated by this expression, or smelled the bloody breath on the bloody blade, the brown tall horse suddenly neighed, spread its four legs and ran away.

"Huh."

Lin Chi, who had long expected this kind of thing, couldn't help laughing: "Don't be lazy, walk?" ”

"The train station is ten kilometers away." Bloody Blade lowered his head a little depressedly: "The last time I came, I could still find a carriage here, and I blamed those damn bandits." ”

"I see you've already vented on the bandits." Lin Chi smiled: "Let's go." ”

The ten kilometers in the game are actually not too far, and you should be there after a while. The only question is how to get through this boring time on the road.

The moonlight sprinkled on the vast field, elongating the shadows of the two, unlike the polluted world two hundred years later, where you could see the Milky Way as soon as you raised your head.

The "old salted fish" carrying the rifle and the petite murderer walked in the cold night wind, and it didn't take long for the bloody blade to break the silence on the road first:

"Are you visiting this map for the first time?"

"Yes." Lin Chi nodded.

"It's a pity, it's an interesting place." Bloodblade said in a hoarse voice, "Even if you're not here to kill, it's not bad to come in for sightseeing." ”

"You like sightseeing in games?" Lin Chi looked at the girl's softly contoured side face.

"Look at the ghost in the real world, you can only travel in the game, right?" Bloodblade asked rhetorically, "Do you want to climb the mountain in the haze, or do you want to be doused by acid rain and become a fool?" ”

"Hah, that's true." Lin Chi agreed.

Under the influence of human beings' endless exhaust emissions, acid rain in 2035 has reached the point where it can kill. Although in the city where I live, the situation is not so bad. But in some of the industrialized cities that started with mining, some people have even died from acid rain.

For this reason, many national meteorological bureaus have set up special acid rain monitoring agencies, and once acid rain or other extreme weather is predicted, they will alert the local police to notify all citizens to take refuge in buildings.

Of course, Lin Chi, who stays at home most of the time, has never experienced the baptism of acid rain. But the steel city, which is forever shrouded in light pollution, is covered in dark clouds for almost 300 days a year, and sometimes the sun is not visible for months.

It is precisely because the real-world environment is so poor that many travel enthusiasts choose to find the thrill of travel in the virtual space of brain imaging. According to Lin Chi's understanding, there have been many paid travel simulators in the "field", and there are some free trial versions, but the quality is up for debate.

"It seems to have gone off ......track," Lin Chi muttered.

"Huh?" Bloodblade turned its head to look at him.

"I also love seeing the scenery in the game." Lin Chi said seriously.

"Don't get close to me." Bloodblade frowned.

"I didn't mean that, I just stated the facts." Lin Chi looked up at the shining stars: "It's hard to see this kind of scenery in reality. ”

"You're okay with your eye."

Bloody Blade snorted, pulled out his saber and made a cross on his arm: "It's a pity that the character is too poor." ”

"I'm a good person." Lin Chi said with a smile.

"Come on, don't think I can't see it, you're definitely thinking about something. When it comes to mental illness, your symptoms may be worse than mine. A glimmer flashed in the eyes of the blood blade: "In terms of looking at people, Lao Tzu will never be wrong......

"So you're not only a surgeon, you're also a psychiatrist?" Lin Chi asked with interest.

- How did a notorious player like Bloodblade become like this? It is also one of the issues that Lin Chi is interested in. Since he is just a "friend" in the game, he will not directly ask the other party about the identity of the real world, but occasionally ask a few words on the side, and maybe he can also get some information.

"What bullshit psychiatrist?" Hearing this word, Bloody Blade seemed to be a little angry: "None of the psychiatrists I met are reliable, they are all rice buckets that eat and wait for death." ”

"Maybe you didn't have enough money." Lin Chi teased.

"It has nothing to do with money." Speaking of this, Blood Blade suddenly looked back at Lin Chi and took a step back vigilantly: "Are you tricking me?" ”

"The journey is boring, just a few casual conversations." Lin Chi shook his head carelessly.

"Okay, why don't you talk about you?" Bloodblade blinked, "To be honest, I'm quite interested in you, too." ”

"Yes, last time you pretended to be a medicine seller, trying to reveal my identity and address." Lin Chi narrowed his eyes meaningfully: "This is the rhythm of 'home delivery'?" ”

"Don't think about it, I just recently made a bomb and wanted to find a place to try it out." Bloodblade turned its head.

The two of them, trekking through the wilderness, continue to engage in awkward but polite small talk. Of course, until they arrived at the train station, they were not able to get any usable information from each other.

If he hadn't read the record about Blood Blade in the secret documents of the Game Authority, Lin Chi might have talked more with Blood Blade, but after learning that the other party was the "Second Five" of the Authority, it was naturally impossible for him to reveal his details to Blood Blade.

- This brutal murderer is actually an "undercover agent" planted in the game by the Game Authority, responsible for looking for some bugs, and by the way, looking for players who behave abnormally.

Lin Chi knew very well that if his affairs were known by the Blood Blade, he would most likely be included in the list of observation objects by the Game Authority, and at that time, his plan would undoubtedly become more difficult.

"This is it." Bloodblade looked at the platform not far away.

The train station in the western wilderness is unusually rudimentary, with no ticket inspectors, just two railroad tracks and a wooden platform.

"Don't you have to buy a ticket?" Lin Chi looked around.

"Get on the bus first, then pay the ticket." Bloody Blade, who has been in this car, is very experienced: "When the driver sees someone on the platform, he will stop immediately." ”

The trains of the 19th century were all old steam engines, and they didn't run too fast, so there were scenes of bandits riding horses and robbing trains in Westerns.

The two sat on the wooden platform and waited for a while, and the rhythmic roar of the steam locomotive began to expand rapidly in the distant wilderness.

"Stand up, or the driver may not be able to see." Bloodblade said as he stood up and waved his hand.

"I'll leave it to you, I'll lie down a little longer." Lin Chi, who was lying comfortably on the plank, was very idle.

"I'm sure I'll kill you when the game is over......" Bloodblade scolded.

At the same time as the pit stop, the steam locomotive began to whistle. Luckily, the driver of the night train saw the figure of Bloody Blade and began to reduce the speed of the train, which was not fast.

Seeing that the car was about to arrive, Lin Chi finally stood up, put the rifle into his backpack, and took out two blood-stained banknotes by the way.

The pitch-black steam locomotive came to a slow stop, and thick white smoke erupted from the chimney on the front of the locomotive. The train carriages of this era were still wooden, and the squeaks of the feet when they stepped on them, revealing a slight sense of danger.

"Welcome aboard the Spencer!"

The bald man standing at the entrance of the first carriage opened the wooden door of the carriage and stretched out his big rough hand to the two: "There are few guests at night, but you don't have to worry, I can guarantee that you are absolutely safe on the train!" ”

The two walked into the damp and stuffy car, bought a ticket from the man, and sat down casually, looking out the window at the deep darkness.

As the conductor said, there were very few passengers on the train at night, and there were no passengers in the carriage except the two of them.

However, according to Lin Chi's experience, in "War Paradise", fewer people does not mean safety.

"Is this car reliable?" He asked Bloodblade, who was sitting across from him.

"Last time I sat during the day." Bloodblade shook his head and said he didn't know, "Listening to those cowboys, the train at night doesn't seem to be very different. ”

"What's the difference?"

As soon as Lin Chi spoke, the carriage suddenly trembled violently. The pitch-black steam locomotive starts again, carrying the two to an unknown destination.

The Spencer departed.
