Chapter 35: The Bane Brothers
There was no need to guess this time, because just around the corner of the hole, there was a man already standing there.
The man was wearing a traditional denim jacket, and the most conspicuous thing was the bare head. The light shone through the hole, and the bald face was half dark and half bright.
Both sides saw each other.
The bald head raised the gun and fired, Chen Jianqiu didn't have time to hear the gunshot, only saw the movement of the bald head, and flashed to the side against the wall.
The bullet grazed his body and flew past.
And Asuka and Sean, who were behind him, also raised their guns to fight back, but the light in the hole was dim, and neither side hit the other.
The bald head was hidden in the corner, changing bullets.
Chen Jianqiu's mind was racing fast.
From their position to the entrance of the cave, there are dozens of steps, and the three people on their side, if the fire suppresses him, within ten steps, it will be their own world.
However, the bald head's next action made his abacus fail.
A cylindrical object with sparks was thrown around the corner.
"Back off, he's got explosives!" Chen Jianqiu strode back, and rolled back to the end of the road.
"Boom"
A huge explosion sounded in the corridor, and a bundle of explosives exploded, turning the corridor into a megaphone and a microphone, which was about to burst Chen Jianqiu's eardrums.
The shock wave from the explosion also followed, and for a time the debris fell off the cave and smoke and dust were everywhere.
Immediately afterwards, the second explosive was also thrown over, and Chen Jianqiu and the others had to retreat a long way back.
"Is this bald head crazy? Throw explosives in a cave! Sean choked on the smoke and coughed, "Is he going to bury us in this?" Anyway, how much explosives did this madman bring? ”
"This mountain is mainly granite, which is very hard, and this amount of explosives cannot collapse." Uncle Holmes added from a professional point of view on the side.
"Shut up, no one will treat you like a dumb person if you don't speak." Sean stepped back, not forgetting to fight back.
After three or four explosives were blown up, the whole cave was filled with the smell of gunsmoke.
Chen Jianqiu tried to fight back between the explosives being thrown, but the bald head seemed to have four hands, and the ignition and throwing the explosives in one go, one after another.
They had to retreat again to dodge bullets from the incoming rubble and smoke.
Why is the bomb dropped so quickly on the opposite side?
The tunnels in the cave lead in all directions, but there are only two exits, but according to the current situation, only by putting yourself in the dark can you give the opponent a fatal blow.
"You three retreat to the hole where you were just in the mural." Chen Jianqiu said, "I'll stay." ”
"I'll be with you." Asuka said a little worriedly.
"There is such a big movement in the cave, the gang at the entrance of the cave will definitely find a chance to come in, you find a cover and act at the opportunity." A smile appeared on the corner of Chen Jianqiu's mouth.
"I'm here to play with this bald head."
……
The bald head actually hates the dark, because as a bounty hunter, chasing prey in the dark can easily become the target of prey.
Another reason is that in the dark, as long as there is a little light, his bald head will act like a beacon, serving as a target for someone else's gun.
If you want to blame his parents, he has a bald head from the moment he was born, until he grows up, not only does not grow an inch of grass, but is smoother.
Yes, a bald head is handsome, but not practical.
At this moment, he believed more in the bundle of explosives wrapped around his waist, and he would not expose himself to a straight line, but would open the way with explosives every corner of the corner.
So he lit another match.
Then he saw a faceless face.
By the light of the fire, he saw a man hanging upside down like a bat on the top of the cave, holding a sharp dagger in his hand, fluttering down the edges, and the dagger was piercing his neck.
Chen Jianqiu has been waiting here for a long time.
To save weight, he gave the shotgun to Sean and brought only a dagger himself.
With the help of the smoke that had just exploded, he held his breath and jumped to the top of the corner, his hand touching the rock protrusion there, his feet hooked, and he hung upside down.
He used his sense of hearing to discern the bald head's position, but to his surprise, the bald head was very experienced, and the footsteps were barely audible. The sound of breathing, on the other hand, sounds a bit strange and jumbled.
How can there be the sound of two people breathing?
At this time, flames appeared, and Chen Jianqiu saw the bald head, so he directly attacked.
But when he threw himself into the air, he suddenly felt something was wrong, an instinct before the crisis came.
A flash of fire flashed behind the bald head.
Chen Jianqiu gave up the attack, twisted his waist to change direction, and fell to the ground like a cat.
He dodged the deadly bullet that was fired at him.
By the faint light of the unextinguished match, he saw a face identical to that of the bald head behind him.
Twin brothers?
The light of the matches went out, and a continuous burst of gunfire rang out in the corridor.
Chen Jianqiu quickly stepped back, flashed into a fork in the road, and escaped into the shadows again.
The twin brothers were still shooting at the corridor again.
"What the hell is this? Like a ghost. The elder brother touched his neck with palpitations, and there was almost a big opening just now.
"Let's be careful, these three people are not simple, otherwise Sheriff Morris and they would not have died at their hands." The younger brother behind him said.
Hanif approached them the other day and asked them to hunt down the three men, but they really didn't want to share the bounty with people like Hanif. So he excused himself and refused because the distance was too far, and then he quietly followed.
They are known as the Bane Brothers, and they are in the top 10 of the total bounties they have received among the living bounty hunters in the West.
Now, they decided to get rid of the three fugitives as soon as possible, as they usually did.
……
On a high hill near the town of Montrose, there was a camp where agents from the Pinkerton Detective Agency were camping.
Hooknose was sitting by the campfire, sipping his freshly brewed coffee, when an agent walked up to him and whispered something in his ear.
"Boss, uh, Rost and his men went after those three people privately." The agent said cautiously.
The cup in the hook nose's hand stopped, and the agent didn't dare to let it out.
"How did the background of the Chinese I asked you to check?" Hooknose suddenly asked an irrelevant question.
"Well, he entered the United States from California, and we also found out that the ship he took was from the Pacific Mail Company, passing through Shanghai, Yokohama, and San Francisco. But our intelligence officers said that someone had seen him on the ship from Guangzhou to Shanghai, and we are still investigating his experience in the future. ”
"Let's keep looking." Hooknose nodded.
"Rost shouldn't be able to come back." The coffee in the cup continued to flow down his lips, "There are more fugitives in this town, and there are more than these three people. ”
