Chapter 8: The Silent Gold and Silver Town

Gold and Silver Town is a gathering place for bounty hunters, an ancient town with a small area but a long history of nearly 300 years.

The first settlers were a group of bounty hunters who were chased by zombies and forced to build a line of defense here, relying on small mounds of improvised mounds to kill the zombies one by one. Slowly, this group of bounty hunters began to hunt scattered zombies in the neighborhood, and some of them began to get tired of this kind of killing life, so they began to settle here.

As more and more zombies appear, it also means that more bounty hunters are starting to flock here, and the meaning of "gold and silver" is very straightforward, that is, you can get a good bounty here. It also became a base for bounty hunters.

Henry dragged his tired body and pulled the door of the RV shut. Since losing Colin and Allen in quick succession a month ago, the bounty hunter, who is over half a hundred years old, has completely lost his heart. He took the twenty-five thousand gold coins and threw the rest to Raymond. After this incident, Raymond was also deeply affected, the arrogance of the past has long disappeared, he took the bounty and has been hiding in the small bar of Gold and Silver Town, quietly waiting for the family to come and take him back.

Henry spent almost all his savings, so he bought a steam RV in the town, which can be regarded as finding a home for himself. He parked his RV next to the tavern and started a small business. In the early years, Henry also consolidated some connections, so when he stabilized, he began to contact his former friends and started buying and selling logistics materials.

Although Jinyin Town has a long history, after all, the area is too small, and many basic alms are not perfect. There is only one steam tower in the town, the iconic energy supply facility of the Republic of Stibson, and there is no alchemy workshop under the cutting-edge laboratory.

Therefore, the supply of logistical materials is particularly important. And the smartest thing about Henry is that he doesn't touch a few pieces of business that have already formed a scale before, but instead sets his sights on those newcomers who have just entered the industry.

The old bounty hunters have a fixed supply channel, and it is difficult to change anything after years of cooperation. Unlike newcomers, Henry can not only provide them with some necessary supplies, but he will also help them teach them some ways to deal with zombies. In this way, Henry has also achieved some small results in this month's time.

Pouring a glass of spirits, Henry sat at the window and looked out at the brightly lit street. The bar next door is very lively, and it often doesn't quiet until four or five o'clock in the morning. Bounty hunters who spend their days out and about will devote more of their energy to the bar when they return to town. There are decent spirits and busty sexy women here. It's the best place for bounty hunters to relax and splurge on their bounty.

Henry drank the liquor from his glass, and the deafening explosion of the day rang in his head all the time.

Allen's parents have been friends with Henry for many years, and Henry's only son Jamie was able to enter the Knight Academy because of the money that Allen's parents helped to raise money, although their family was not much better. So after the accident at Allen's house, Henry has always treated Allen as his own child.

"Hey!"

With a long sigh, Henry put his glass down, and he looked out the window to find two drunken guys walking out of the bar shoulder to shoulder. The two of them carried a wine bottle and walked swayingly, singing loudly in their mouths. Henry smiled, once upon a time he was also a member of this drunken dream, but unfortunately, everything changed.

Just as Henry was about to close the window, he suddenly noticed a swift black shadow suddenly burst out of the bar. The black shadow was extremely fast, and a few ups and downs caught up with the two drunks, and the next moment the three disappeared at the end of the street at the same time.

Henry rubbed his eyes, looked at the street again, looked at the wine glass in his hand, and then closed the window suspiciously.

"This wine is so strong?"

The next morning, Henry was awakened by a sharp knock on the door.

"Hunter? What happened? Henry opened the car door sleepily and saw the town's sheriff, Hunter, standing outside the RV with a solemn face.

"Henry, there's a murder in the town." "I'm here to find out if you saw anything unusual last night. ”

Henry was completely sleepy when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked, "Murder?" What the hell is going on? ”

"Two unlucky guys were drained of blood." Hunter frowned and said, "One of them has been hollowed out. ”

Henry suddenly remembered what he had seen last night, and he thought he was dazzled, so he hurriedly asked, "Are the two killed drunk?" ”

"How do you know that those two guys were identified as having drunk too much last night. Do you know something? ”

Henry hurriedly recounted what he had seen last night, and Hunter took out a pen and paper and carefully recorded it.

"Could it be that a high-level zombie has infiltrated us?" Hunter had a sad look on his face. Ordinary zombies are not a big threat, and they tend to win by numbers. But high-level zombies are very different, and some powerful guys can completely disguise themselves as humans.

"Thank you Henry, I'll come back to you if there's any problem." After saying that, Hunter walked to the bar.

As soon as he stepped on the steps, Hunter felt a man rush out, and the tremendous force made him fall to the ground with a pain.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" The visitor hurriedly apologized, and then hurried out of the bar.

Henry looked at Raymond who had walked into the alley, and years of cooperation had made him see Raymond's problem. So he put on an overcoat and followed briskly.

Raymond's speed was not fast, he seemed to be in great pain, and his body began to shake after a few steps. Eventually, he had to hold on to the wall to keep himself from falling.

"Raymond!"

Henry took a few quick steps to support Raymond, and when he saw Raymond's gradually raised face, a look of horror appeared on his face......

By the time Alan and his party arrived outside the Golden and Silver Town, the sun had already set, and the sky was getting darker. After a few days together, Alan and the four of them have become good friends, and they have killed many zombies along the way, and the friendship is strengthened by the sound of this gunshot.

"It's getting dark, why don't you go to the hotel with us for a temporary night, and then go to your friend tomorrow morning?" Jared suggested.

Alan wasn't actually ready to face Henry, so he hurriedly nodded: "That's great." ”

But when the five of them stepped into the gold and silver town, they felt a little strange. Although it is now said that the sky is gradually darkening, but in normal times, this is the time when the nightlife begins, but the town is a little deserted at the moment, there is no half of a person on the street, and even the houses on both sides are dark.

Jared wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and he took the warhammer in his hand: "Something is wrong! ”

The three of Jerry also raised their alchemy rifles at the same time, while Alan was holding a modified musket, and Jared provided the raw materials and a prototype of the musket. Under Allen's modification, this musket also smashed the heads of many zombies, which once surprised the four Jareds.

"What now?" John asked worriedly.

"This is our base camp, if something happens, it's definitely not something that you and I can change at this level." Jared said and looked at Kelly, who had not spoken, "Go in and investigate, and remember to put safety first." ”

Kelly nodded, he took out the alchemy potion and drank it, and then a faint golden color appeared in his pupils. Alan was surprised to find that Kelly's body began to blur and eventually disappeared.

"Be careful!" After another remonstrance, Jared took Allen and the three of them to hide behind several abandoned steam-powered vehicles at the entrance to the town.

Alan looked at the three Jared and made sure that none of them were paying attention to him, and he turned on the infestation's sight, which allowed him to see the town in full view. Coupled with the fact that his infected vision actually has some penetrating ability, he can roughly see the situation behind the walls of the house.

To his bewilderment, the whole town had become empty, and there was no one to be found. And the house that Henry had rented before was empty.

After a while, Kelly slowly showed his figure, and his answer was exactly the same as what Alan saw: "I don't know what's wrong, but there is no one in this gold and silver town now, and all the rooms are empty......"

"What the." Jared slammed the hammer to the ground with some irritation, "Let's go, let's go in and check." Even if there is no one, we must bring enough supplies and rush to the next base, otherwise we will definitely be dead end if we are surrounded by zombies. ”

Under Jared's leadership, the crowd quickly rushed into the gold and silver town. Fortunately, although there was no sign of a single person, the contents of the bars, restaurants and inns were still there. Jared ordered everyone to pack up food, water, and some of the bullets they had looted, and the nearest bounty base to Gold and Silver Town would be at least seven days away, and seven days would be a great deal for a world of hell.

Alan went to the place where Henry had lived before, and to his great surprise, it was obvious that no one had lived here for a long time. With some chagrin, he joined up with Jared and the others.

"Let's see if we can get a car." Alan looked at the desolate town and said, "It's too dangerous to walk on foot. ”

"Yes, Jerry, John, you two go and take a look. Kelly, Allen, and I continued to search around to see if anything new was discovered. ”

The five of them divided into two groups and began to act separately, but when Alan passed by the door of the bar, he suddenly stopped, he turned his head sharply, and the sight of the infection was instantly opened!
