Zhang Heng took the bullet and half a can of licorice candy.
The next moment, a long-lost system prompt came from my ear.
[Buy licorice candy at the grocery store, game points +3, you can go to the character panel to view related information...]
...
Zhang Heng is getting more and more confused about this strange achievement system. He bought some chewing tobacco from the old cowboy before and tried it. Apart from being a little curious about the taste of the famous chewing tobacco, he also wanted to try his luck to see if he could succeed. Can't earn points.
In the end, nothing happened. Instead, a can of licorice candy he bought at the grocery store accidentally got 3 points. The randomness in it was too strong. Failed to get a set of schemes for stably obtaining game points in the dungeon.
"What's wrong?" Wendy asked beside him.
"It's nothing, just eat the candy." Zhang Heng handed her the half can of licorice candy, and then said to the boss, "Do you know where all the people in the farmhouses outside the town have gone?"
The latter's hands trembled when he heard the words, and the bag of flour he was holding almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Zhang Heng quickly caught it for him.
The boss thanked him, and took the bag of flour again, "A plague broke out in the town some time ago, and those who were infected were quarantined."
"It seems that we guessed right before. It really is an epidemic. Is the situation serious?" Wendy asked.
"Temporarily under control."
"Is there a doctor in the town, and where are those sick people taken?" Zhang Heng asked.
"The church in the town, they are temporarily concentrated there, and the doctor is also there, you'd better not approach that place."
"Don't worry, we haven't lived enough yet." Wendy said, and then added, "May God bless you all."
"Thank you, ma'am."
After Zhang Heng paid the money, the two left the grocery store. After walking for a while, Wendy felt that the boots were not very comfortable, and wanted to squat down to tidy them up, but at this moment Zhang Heng said, "Don't worry, let's adjust after walking for a while."
"Why?"
"The boss is still watching us secretly in the store, don't look back, and don't make unnecessary moves."
"He's spying on us?" Wendy was surprised when she heard that.
"To be precise, you are observing our movements and reactions." Zhang Hengdao, "If you just lied, you will also pay special attention to the audience's reaction."
"Lie, are you talking about the epidemic?"
"Well, it's interesting. It seems that people in this town are trying to cover up something," Zhang Heng said. "I don't know what role the sheriff we're going to see plays in it."
Five minutes later, Zhang Heng and Wendy arrived at the town's police station. The sheriff was a man with a bushy beard, and he flirted with a woman in his office in broad daylight.
Wendy was taken aback when she first came in, because the woman was lying on the chest of the bearded sheriff, and the two of them were about to stick together.
"Stop making trouble, someone is here, I'm going to start working, baby." The bearded police chief said, and at the same time squeezed the woman's thigh again, the latter got up with a giggle, and returned the bearded police Blow a long kiss.
The latter straightened his dirty clothes and wiped the badge on his chest, before he said, "Is there anything I can do for you, both of you?"
He is also the first normal person Zhang Heng has seen since he came to this small town. It's normal.
As for his little hobbies, there is nothing wrong with it. After all, the sheriff of this era has a 24-hour job. One person is in charge of a town, and there is no such thing as working hours.
"You are Sheriff Harper? But I heard that Sheriff Harper is short." Wendy said.
"I have good eyesight, ma'am. I am not Sheriff Harper. Sheriff Harper is too old and has retired. I am his successor. You can call me Love."
"Sheriff Harper has retired? But just a week ago I telegraphed with him." Wendy's eyes widened.
"Yes, the world is impermanent, and I didn't expect it to happen so suddenly. He was the first group of residents who settled in this town. He paid a lot for this place. The residents living here will always remember his dedication. … So, what are you doing in Bliss?"
"Actually we're here to find someone, Sheriff Love."
"Really, who?"
Wendy glanced at Zhang Heng, who nodded, and the girl continued, "We came here to find my father. He has been away from home for a long time. Before he left, he told us to come to discuss business."
"Oh, that's too bad, why don't you tell me your father's name, and I'll see what I can do for you."
"My father was a man of Matthew Robbins, a rancher in Lincoln County, wearing a gray shirt, old-looking boots, about thirty-five years of age, with a firm eye, and a road on his left belly. scar."
"I've made a note. I'll check it out now. You can rest in the hotel and wait for my news. Soon, it should be finished tomorrow morning." Sergeant Love winked at the girl.
"Can I ask one more question, what happened to the people here?" Wendy couldn't help asking.
"Oh, don't take it to heart, they're just a little xenophobic, just wait until you get familiar with them, and, after all, something terrible just happened in the town."
"I heard about the plague. It's unfortunate."
"Who says it's not, but we will get better, and those who live in this land are brave people." Loew said.
...
"I can tell he's lying without your powers of observation."
In the hotel room, Wendy said to Zhang Heng, "How could Officer Harper just retire at this time."
"Hmm." Zhang Heng wiped the barrel of the Winchester rifle.
"What should we do next? Also, you have been suspicious of the sheriff for a long time. Why do you want me to tell about my father?"
"You can't hide it from him. After all, we have sent a telegram before. Our purpose is not a secret. Telling him can give him the illusion that although we have doubts about the situation in the town, we still trust him. Fake sheriff, and a way to see who his associates are."
"What do you think?" Wendy frowned.
"If there is no accident, they will come to us tonight." Zhang Heng said lightly, "For safety, I should let you go, but in this case they will become suspicious. If Sheriff Dolan did not lie, they and Your father knows him, so he shouldn’t make things difficult for you, so let’s do this, you and Lightning are ready, if the situation is not right, you will ride away first, and I will deal with these people.”
