Zhang Heng only rested for one day before returning to the game point. Although the proxy war will not start in half a month, he still has a basic copy to complete before that.
At the same time, in the same booth, Zhang Heng was lying on the sofa, putting the alarm clock on his chest.

Friendly reminder, the game will officially start in five seconds, players please be prepared.
When he saw the name of the dungeon, Zhang Heng almost guessed where he had come this time, and the subsequent game background confirmed his guess. If he remembered correctly, the rule "10 US dollars in exchange for 160 acres of land" comes from " The Homestead Act, which was signed by Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States, during the Civil War, pushed the already rising westward movement to a climax again.
Countless American citizens eager for wealth have flocked to the vast land in the west, cultivating and working there, and building their own homes with their own hands. However, at the same time, there are also many villains, gamblers, murderers, and those who have just fought in the north and south. Guys who lost their land and wealth during the war joined the ranks of pioneers, far away from the prosperous and stable east coast and sound legal system, and the west became a paradise for outlaws.
The massacre and deportation of Indians accompanying the westward expansion intensified the conflicts and hatred between the indigenous peoples and pioneers of North America, and also made the West perilous.
Zhang Heng opened his eyes and found that he was standing in a desert.
Looking up, there are red rock cliffs everywhere, and sparse shrubs and cacti are probably the only colors in the Gobi.
The situation this time was similar to that during the Soviet-Finnish War. He was still wearing his own clothes, short-sleeved shorts, sneakers, mobile phone and keys in his pocket. The [Plague Bone Bow] was too conspicuous and he did not bring it with him this time. , replaced by the [Crown of the White Horse], which was also derived from the Plague Knight, and other game props were placed in his backpack.
Zhang Heng roughly checked his character panel.

…………
In order to reforge that [ordinary knife], Zhang Heng invested basically all the points he had accumulated before, leaving only 23 emergency points.
The held items have not changed much from the previous rounds. Except for the replacement of [Crown of the White Horse] and [Plague Bone Bow], [Wall of Evil Thoughts] consumed its last use in the previous battle with the Arc of Light trio. Many times, he died. In addition, Zhang Heng also bought a necklace [Shadow Necklace] derived from the Shadow Suit, but he didn't bring it with him this time.
In terms of skills, Zhang Hengxin obtained two skills after going through the deduction copy, namely criminal investigation and makeup, both of which have reached the level of lv2 (art appreciation level 0 is not displayed). In addition, his biggest change is of course the lv4 knife. This is the highest level skill he has developed so far, and it is probably the limit of human beings. In the latest updated evaluation below, the first sentence is a description of his sword skills.
In addition, Zhang Heng also noticed that his combat effectiveness had changed from outstanding to powerful, and his final overall evaluation had also been upgraded from eye-catching to rare.
The above is his latest status.
Zhang Heng didn't spend too long inspecting it. Although each round of dungeon would be extra long due to his special abilities, for now, the scorching sun above his head obviously wouldn't leave him too long in a daze.
Zhang Heng knew that he needed to act as soon as possible. He had no clue about the main mission of finding the lucky horseshoe yet. He knew that in some Western legends, horseshoes and rabbit feet were both regarded as lucky objects. However, this mission was definitely not just about finding a lucky horse. Just a piece of horseshoe will do.
In addition, I don’t have much impression of Zhang Heng from Lincoln County. Although he stayed in the United States for a while in the sixth-round copy of the Apollo Project training camp, he could only learn about each state, and specifically the following counties unless they are very famous. , he didn’t have much impression, thinking that this Lincoln County should be a town established not long ago during the westward expansion movement.
His guess was correct. Lincoln County is located in New Mexico. It was originally just a small village inhabited by Mexicans. The village was renamed Lincoln in commemoration of the assassinated Lincoln.
However, whether it is Lincoln County or Lucky Horseshoe is something that needs to be considered later. The top priority now is to find a place where there are people.
Zhang Heng first used surface observation to confirm the direction. However, even if he could distinguish the southeast, northwest, and northwest, it was useless to know where to go next. Fortunately, since the dungeon threw him here, there was no way that there would be no hints and he would just bet on his luck. .
Zhang Heng then climbed up to a relatively high red rock nearby and quickly found his goal.
——A section of railway.
The first railroad in the United States was built around 1826. At that time, it was only used to transport granite. However, with the vigorous development of the westward expansion movement, in just a few decades, the United States already has more than 410,000 kilometers of railways. The rest of the world combined had more (even half of it had to be dismantled later because there were too many railways).
And where there are railways, it often means that there are towns inhabited by humans along the way.
Zhang Heng climbed down from the rock wall again and walked towards the railway.
