Chapter 99 Dan escapes, leading pursuers to the "Dutton House" ranch for a desperate battle!
boom-!
A deafening roar shattered the silence of the snowfield!
The shockwave from the explosion instantly hurled the thick snow from the ground into the air, turning it into a violent snow fog.
A scorching heatwave followed, carrying icy snowflakes, slamming down on Tom and his group like an invisible giant hand.
Before the smoke from the gun barrels had even cleared, Tom had already thrown himself to the ground, curling up and pressing his back against the snowdrift in front of him, which was about to face the devastating storm.
The deafening roar pierced his eardrums, repeatedly surging and swirling within his skull; the entire world was left with only this deafening sound that tore everything apart.
Until the belated figure entered his blurred vision, the incessant buzzing sound stubbornly lingered deep within his hearing.
Perhaps it was the earth-shattering explosion, or perhaps it was the gruesome chunks of flesh scattered all over the road leading to the ranch; in any case, most of the strangers who used to loiter around the ranch disappeared instantly.
"Look at the power of dynamite!" Jonah said, gnawing on a freshly cooked beef bone while glancing sideways at Tom, who was still dazed on the bed.
Tom's head was buzzing; the roar of the explosion clung to him like a leech, refusing to dissipate.
"Jonah! You're here to take care of Tom, not to gnaw on bones!" Zack leaned out and looked around; "Snow Wolf" was patrolling outside.
That guy doesn't use a gun, but when it comes to enduring the freezing cold in the snow, no one on the entire ranch can compare to him.
Tom was so dizzy from the shockwave of the explosive charge that he couldn't take it anymore, so "Dutton House" had to send someone over.
But to everyone's surprise, it was actually chef Jonah who came!
"Yeah, take care of him!" Jonah mumbled in response, tearing off a large piece of frozen beef with a vicious grin.
Montana's harsh winter has one advantage: freshly slaughtered beef, thrown outside, freezes into solid blocks in the blink of an eye.
Being able to enjoy a fresh beef meal in the cold winter is simply wonderful.
"But you'd better not just stare at the beef!" Zack finished his meal and got up to relieve "Snow Wolf" of his shift.
Although it's been quiet these past few days, we can't let our guard down at all.
Fortunately, the dizziness and tinnitus were only temporary.
Time flew by and it was already mid-March.
Tom eventually got used to the ranch life and spent his days with the cattle.
The livestock shed became a haven, where the cattle ate and drank, and the fire in the fireplace burned day and night.
Aside from the really pungent smell, at least you don't have to go outside and brave the biting cold wind.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, thinking they could endure until spring arrived.
Unexpected events shattered the tranquility of the ranch in the next second!
The thunderous sound of horses' hooves rolled across the snowfield like muffled thunder, interspersed with the piercing "bang! bang!" of gunshots!
A group of men came speeding from the direction of the town, their menacing aura palpable!
Tom stared into the distance, his pupils suddenly contracting. This group of fierce-looking cowboys were chasing two fleeing riders like hungry wolves!
The two men were so focused on urging their horses on that they didn't even have a chance to turn around and fire a shot!
At first, Tom was somewhat of a bystander.
But as his gaze locked onto the trajectory of the two fleeing figures, a chill instantly shot from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head!
The two men charged straight toward the heart of "Dutton House"!
"Grab your weapons!!!" Tom roared like thunder, and sprang up like a cheetah!
He grabbed Winchester, who was leaning against the wall, burst open the barn door, and leaped onto his horse!
Skinny Zack reacted incredibly quickly, almost the instant Tom finished speaking, he was already right behind him!
Like rockets that have been ignited, the two horses galloped forward at breakneck speed, kicking up clouds of snow dust as they rushed toward "Dutton House"!
James had already spotted the chaotic mobs rushing towards them from afar!
"Bang!" Without hesitation, he raised his gun and fired a warning shot into the air!
like water off a duck's back!
One of the desperate duo almost screamed himself hoarse: "I'm Dan! Dan!!!"
That's right, the ones who suddenly appeared out of town like wolves and pigs were none other than Dan, the owner of Deep Valley Bar, and his beautiful woman who was terrified!
James's sharp gaze swept over Dan's terrified and contorted face several times, seemingly confirming that this guy posed no immediate threat. "Stop! One more step forward, and you'll be killed without mercy!" He abruptly turned his gun and roared at the bandits who were hot on his heels!
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
His response was a denser and more ferocious barrage of bullets!
"Fire!!!" Before James's roar had even faded, the guns of "Dutton House" instantly spewed deadly flames!
A sudden gunfight erupted at the entrance of "Dutton House"!
However, once the two sides clashed, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse!
The group chasing Dan is no ordinary cowboy!
They were fierce bandits on horseback, their horsemanship so exquisite it was chilling!
The moment the gunshots rang out, their mounts were not startled at all. Instead, their owners held the reins firmly in their hands, and they were even able to return fire accurately despite the jolting. In terms of numbers, the enemy had more than a dozen guns!
In terms of marksmanship, they are all seasoned and ruthless criminals!
Dan scrambled and stumbled, protecting the woman as he rushed into the ranch's defensive perimeter. Just as he pushed her into the house, he turned around, grabbed a long-barreled shotgun leaning against the wall, and charged out with bloodshot eyes, joining the life-or-death struggle!
"Boom!" The horses' hooves trampled the frozen ground!
Several ruthless bandits broke through the sparse barrage of fire and, grinning maliciously, rode their horses straight towards the wooden house where James and his men were standing!
Guns are already aimed at them!
A close call!
boom!
The bandit at the very front suddenly jerked his head back and fell off his horse!
boom!
The next one had a burst of blood mist suddenly explode on his neck and then collapsed!
boom!
A bandit who was laughing wildly as he charged toward Ennis suddenly froze, his chest bursting open with a bloody hole, and he and his horse crashed to the ground!
This terrifyingly accurate triple sniper shot instantly stunned the charging terrorists!
Their horrified gazes all turned to the snow-covered slopes surrounding the pasture.
A young man knelt on one knee in the cold snow, smoke curling from the muzzle of his Winchester lever rifle.
No one knew that beneath that thick mask that shielded him from the wind and snow, Tom's face was contorted in excruciating pain!
The excruciating pain made him grit his teeth!
The wound has definitely reopened!
But right now, he didn't even have time to frown!
"Scatter! Scatter the fuck now!!!"
A terrified scream suddenly rang out from the leader of the robbers!
The few surviving bandits, like startled birds, suddenly yanked on the reins, and their warhorses neighed and scattered in all directions!
Gunfire pinned down all the charging desperados on their way!
This reckless sniping instantly threw the enemy into disarray!
The pressure on the people of "Dutton House" was greatly relieved, and they roared and launched a fierce counterattack!
The ruthless bandits who stormed into the ranch's defenses were quickly overwhelmed by Tom's "death scythe" and the ranch's firepower, and most of them fell in the blink of an eye!
The last three bandits were utterly annihilated!
"Run!!!" Someone let out a scream that was out of tune.
The three men pulled hard on the reins, turned their horses around, and fled for their lives in the direction they had come from!
"Tom—!!! We can't let them go! We can't let a single one of them escape!!!"
Dan's roar was filled with despair, his voice cracking. He knew all too well that letting any one of them escape would have endless consequences!
