Chapter 616 Passerby

Wendy finally heard the long-awaited gunshot . However, the fierce battle that she imagined did not take place . The gunshot lasted less than a minute before it ended .

After that, peace was restored . Wendy was nervous, not knowing who the final winner was . Suddenly, she heard someone knocking at the door . Fear kicked in once again . Immediately, she looked around and grabbed the fruit knife on the table .

“I hope you won’t stab me when I go in,” Zhang Heng’s voice came from outside the house .

Wendy was relieved, but instead of opening the door immediately, she asked, “Are you the only one outside?”

“You can take a look under the crack of the door . ”

Wendy ducked the moment she heard Zhang Heng’s instruction . Through the crack, she saw only a pair of shoes outside the house . She then opened the door but still hid the knife behind her back .

“It’s over,” Zhang Heng, who was outside the door, said, handing a revolver to Wendy at the same time . “I killed the other people and caught the guy who pretended to be a sheriff . I am about to interrogate him . In the meantime, I need you to keep an eye on the boss . We are still trying to figure out the relationship between this group of people and the town people . Maybe they still have accomplices . So it’s always right to be more cautious . ”

“Since you are going to question him, can I listen outside the house?” Wendy asked .

“No, the interrogation will probably be a bit inappropriate for children,” Zhang Heng said . “It’s better that you wait outside . I’ll tell you the results later . ”

Zhang Heng did not wait for Wendy’s reply . He turned around and closed the door before he left .

Wendy walked out of the room and went downstairs . Instantly, she saw bloodstains from the corpse that Zhang Heng had dragged to the kitchen . She then moved a chair and sat in front of the innkeeper, now paralyzed by fear . In fact, there was no need to keep an eye on him all the time . His two allies had just expired before him, one of them shot in the head, with his own brain matter splattered over his face . The innkeeper’s legs had gone so soft that he could no longer stand up for now .

However, Wendy decided to do something to make sure that the innkeeper would not escape . She then waved the revolver in his hand and threatened, “You better stay put . I will kill you if you dare to move . Don’t put my marksmanship to the test . ”

About twenty minutes later, a gunshot came from the second floor, and Wendy saw Zhang Heng walking out of the room . “How did it go?” Wendy stood up . “Did he tell you anything about my father?”

“Well, I’ve figured everything out, but some people need saving first . I will explain when I come back,” Zhang Heng said .

“Saving people? Where?”

“The church… the missing farmers are there, and there are four guards too . ”

“Is my father there too?”

“No, your father is not in town, but he should be in no danger for the time being . ”

Before Zhang Heng left, he added, “After I leave, I need you to lock the hotel’s doors . Don’t let anyone approach and don’t trust the people in the town . ”

“Okay,” Wendy nodded .

After Zhang Heng finished speaking, he hurried out of the hotel with his weapons in a bag .

Wendy then watched him disappear into the night . When she turned around, she saw that the innkeeper’s face was pale . “It’s over, it’s all over!” he kept muttering . “What’s over?” Wendy asked . The boss was indifferent when he heard this and just murmured, “We’re all going to hell . ”

Instead of heading to the church, Zhang Heng first went to the grocery store he visited during the day . He barged in and stuffed the three shotguns and five revolvers on the shelf into his bag, even grabbing some ammunition with him . The grocery store owner, still in his pajamas, heard the commotion, and walked downstairs .

He was bewildered when he saw Zhang Heng, oblivious to what was going on . He then asked, “You…what are you doing?”

“I’m borrowing something from you, and I will return them to you when I’m done with it . ” Zhang Heng put the last box of bullets into his bag and picked it up .

The boss reacted, and his eyes widened, “Are you robbing me?! In our town? Are you not afraid of being arrested by the sheriff?”

“The Sheriff of Bliss is dead a long time ago . You guys are the ones that caused his death . I don’t think I need to worry about him anymore . If you are talking about the fake sheriff, I don’t think he would have any objections,” Zhang Heng shrugged .

After speaking, he kicked open the grocery store door, put the bag of weapons and ammunition on Radish, and headed towards the church alone .

As he approached the church, Zhang Heng jumped off the horse .

He had not learned to shoot while riding a horse, but he used to wander on the sea, which makes his balancing ability better than the average person . It will be a matter of time before he mastered this skill . However, before that, he could only dismount and fight .

The church’s door was closed tightly, and a faint light squeezed out from it .

Zhang Heng walked towards the door and fired a shot at the sky . About half a minute later, the door was opened slightly, and a gun emerged from the crack . The man turned left and right, and he saw no one was outside . The one-eyed gunman then poked his head out carefully .

Immediately, Zhang Heng killed him with a single shot .

After that, his left hand drew the revolver around his waist and dangled it from the gap . Zhang Heng then adopted the same strategy as before . First, he broke the kerosene lamp and filled the church with darkness . He then used his Filter Lens to look at his surroundings . With ease, he killed all three gunners inside the church .

When Zhang Heng put away his Filter Lens and re-ignited the kerosene lamp, the light revealed the people imprisoned inside the church . Most were blacks, and there was a girl, weeping in the corner, her body covered with nothing but tattered rags .

Zhang Heng quickly took off his coat and put it over her . He then looked at the side of the pulpit . There was a strong man who looked like the leader of this group . When Zhang Heng walked into the church, a few of them looked at the strong man in panic . Clearly, they were used to letting him take charge .

“How many of you are being imprisoned here?” Zhang Heng asked .

“There are twenty people on the first floor, and thirty on the second, but most are women and children . They killed half of the men . ” The strong black man who said that had a hint of anger flashing in his eyes . “Okay, pick someone who can fight . Both men and women are fine . ” Zhang Heng threw the sack that used to store all his guns and bullets on the ground and pointed at the corpse on the floor, “Arm yourself; the sooner, the better . We will leave here in five minutes . ”

“Sir, are you the bailiff nearby?” someone asked .

“No, I’m just a passerby . ” Zhang Heng replied, pulling the brim of his hat .
