187: Silence
"Retreat, retreat quickly!"
After a brief firefight, both sides lost several people, and the robbers finally couldn't hold it anymore.
They are seeking money, not coming to fight, and killing is not an end or a means.
After shooting out several cowboys rushing in front, the bandits called their companions to start retreating.
Lin Yao was waiting for this opportunity. He hid behind a big tree, pulled the bolt, and shot a bandit who was riding a horse and trying to escape into the woods.
The bandits fell off the horse and fell to the ground and disappeared.
The others had no time to care about him, and they rode a horse and fled away crazyly with their big and small bags of finances.
Without the cover of trains, the casualties of the bandits increased significantly.
In a blink of an eye, most of them were wiped out on the way to escape, and Lin Yao alone shot three bandits.
"Catch them up and send them to God!"
Old Billy waved his rifle and led everyone to chase him away.
Instead of following Old Billy and the others, Lin Yao targeted a robber who had nothing to do with his hands.
The robber seemed to be here to make up the numbers because he did not carry any property.
But Lin Yao was so sharp that the seemingly thin robber was very bloated, and his horse was the best among the people.
A big fish!!
Lin Yao rode his horse and rushed into the woods with the man.
The two sides were three hundred meters apart, and Lin Yao followed behind slowly, neither accelerating nor slowing down, just like a shepherd dog driving the flock of sheep, driving the robbers to escape further.
The robber unwilling to give in to fire a few shots, but the distance was too far, and his shooting skills were not enough to allow him to immediately hit another knight three hundred meters away.
The scene was in a stalemate for a while, and after about ten minutes, he ran seven or eight miles away.
Lin Yao estimated that it was almost done, so he picked up his rifle and aimed at the man's war horse.
Bang!!
With a gunshot, the robbers threw their horses out.
Lin Yao smiled, and his excellent marksmanship and good performance rifle were fully displayed on such occasions.
He could hit the robber's horse with one shot at a distance of 300 meters, but the robber couldn't even touch the corner of his clothes. Even if this scene was restored ten times, the robber would not be able to fight him.
"If I were you, I wouldn't have reached my hand to my waist!"
Lin Yao rode forward and said to the robbers coldly.
The robber was thrown to death and his head was bleeding. The mask on his face also fell off. He sat half on the ground and touched the hand behind him stiffly in front of him. He looked at Lin Yao who was coming down the moonlight: "Friend, give me a chance, what if you pretend you have never seen me before?"
"Why?"
Lin Yao turned over and dismounted, and his gun pointed at the man's head.
When I got closer, I saw that this was a decadent person with a skinny face and no meat on his body.
After looking carefully, Lin Yao muttered: "Are you skinny monkey Pete?"
"Do you know me?" Pete asked back.
"There is your wanted warrant in the town, and you are worth $200 on it."
Lin Yao approached little by little and pointed at his hand: "Drop your revolver, of course, you can also try which of us is faster. If you win, you can get away with it. If you lose this life, it will be mine."
Pete hesitated for a moment, and finally he chose to throw away the revolver.
His marksmanship was very average, and he knew very well that the person in front of him could hit him at a distance of 300 meters at night.
He must be a master of guns, just like those famous cowboys.
When competing with such a person who has a faster gun, or gamble with his own life, Pete felt that he must be crazy.
"You are very cognitive, I like you a little now."
Lin Yao still held the gun, looked at his belt and continued, "Now untie your belt and tie your legs with it."
"You don't want to catch me back and receive the reward?"
Instead of obeying Lin Yao's instructions, Pete defended: "My value is far more than $200. How about we make friends? If you let me have a way out, the money I have on me will be yours. I will repay you in the future. I swear!"
Bang!!
The bullet hit Pete's feet and scared him.
"I don't want to repeat it, do as I say."
Lin Yao aimed at his head again, with no intention of joking on his face.
Pete had no choice but to untie his belt and tie his legs, spread his hands: "Tell me, how can I change my life?"
"Are you so afraid of death?"
Lin Yao replaced the gun with a revolver and walked forward to tie his hands with a rope.
Pete didn't struggle, but instead smiled jokingly: "No one wants to die, especially someone with a promising future like me."
"You are indeed very rich!"
Lin Yao did not object to his words, because after turning on Pitt's coat, he found that Pitt was wearing a special jacket.
There are many small pockets similar to electricians on the jacket, and each pocket is filled with a gold bar.
After counting, Pitt had twenty-four gold bars on his body, each of which was a large gold bar of 500 grams, which totaled 12 kilograms of gold.
"Are you the boss of the robber?"
Seeing that Pitt had so many gold bars on him, Lin Yao suspected that he was the number one among the robbers.
Who would have thought that Pete denied it without hesitation and said bluntly: "I am their partner. I know what is on the train, so I found someone to cooperate with me. In return, I would take one-third of the goods."
"There are 72 gold bars on the train, and I get 24, which is the reward I deserve."
"But that group of people are too greedy. They are not satisfied with just taking gold bars and want to snatch the passengers in the car."
"Our plan is fourteen minutes slower than expected, otherwise you will not be able to catch me at all."
Peter looked regretful. In fact, they had already solved the guards. The gunshots Lin Yao and the others heard were the passengers defending themselves.
Robbing gold bars and looting passengers are actually two concepts.
There were hundreds of people on the train. They didn't care about the robbers being robbed, but they didn't allow the robbers to make their own ideas.
If something happened later, they would have left long ago, leaving Lin Yao and the others with only empty boxes.
I am really blind, so I will cooperate with a group of amateur robbers.
Don’t they know that the most valuable thing about this train is gold. Even if hundreds of passengers are looted, the stolen property is not enough to be a fraction of the gold?
"I have twenty-four gold bars, each gold bar can be sold in the black market for 500 US dollars, totaling 12,000 US dollars."
"Let's discuss how to do it. I'll give you all the gold bars. If you let me go, I'm willing to claim to the public that you didn't catch me and the gold bars are still in my hands. If you just need to let me go, I will take all the responsibility."
"At that time, the bounty hunter will come to chase me, and you can move to the big city with the gold and live the life you want."
"Think about it, what are the benefits of you arresting me?"
"If you want to hand over this batch of gold, they will give you a reward of 500 US dollars at most."
"This is gold worth 12,000 US dollars, 12,000 US dollars or 500 US dollars. Do you know how to choose?"
Peter tried his best to persuade Lin Yao, hoping to exchange this batch of gold for a chance to survive.
He knew very well that if he fell into the hands of the sheriff, he would definitely be hung according to his resume.
Even ants live in vain, no one wants to die.
"Yes, I didn't catch you, you ran away with the gold."
As soon as Lin Yao spoke, a smile appeared on Pete's face.
But soon he couldn't laugh anymore because Lin Yao raised his revolver and said coldly: "Only the dead can keep the secret. I will insist that you ran away. I didn't find that batch of gold. Now please die with the secret."
"No, you can't treat me like this, I..."
Bang!!
