Survival begins with Red Dead Redemption 2

Chapter 5, "The Heroine" Chocolate and a Pistol

Valentine,
The lights are on.

Sheman McKinney is sorting out today's books.

The painkiller called "Heroine" in the store is getting better and better.It has a wide range of applications, not only can treat pain, depression, bronchitis, asthma, and even has a significant effect on cancer, and soon occupied the entire Valentine's pharmaceutical market.

Looking at the increasing profit figures on the account books these days, Sherman McKinney took out a pen and carefully calculated the share that needed to be distributed: this amount needs to be handed over to the gang; this amount needs to be kept to maintain operations; This one belongs to Sheriff Maloof and the mayor.

A pharmacy in a gang stronghold is open next to the police station. If there is no connection between them, do you really think all the policemen in the police station are blind?

The commotion from the Smithfield bar got louder, and Sergeant Maloof had just rushed over, but it didn't seem to help.The screams of the women and the laughter of the men came from the right side of the pharmacy one after another, which made his heart itch, and he didn't even notice that a carriage stopped in front of the door.

"Doctor! Doctor! Some of us are injured and need help!"

The door of the pharmacy was knocked open, and two people rushed in with a wounded man on their hands. The one on the left was an old man, his tone was very anxious.

Sherman McKinney glanced up and saw that the clothes of the three people were not very neat. He quickly lowered his head again. It seemed that the calculation just now was wrong:
"Sorry, we have already rested, please come back tomorrow."

"Doctor, his injury is serious!"

"I know, but it's too late today, let's do it tomorrow. Why don't you let him take some painkillers first?" Sheman McKinney didn't look up, and skillfully took out a bottle of "Heroine" from under the counter with his right hand: " $50! Believe me, this drug will keep him going till tomorrow."

"..."

The air on the other side was a little quiet, and the professional ethics of this doctor made the three people who came in both surprised and speechless.So Hosea and Mika let go of Dai Ping'an's hand, and pointed their guns at the doctor opposite.

After receiving no response, Sherman McKinney looked up and saw two black gun muzzles and a big smiling bald head.

"Shh..."

Dai Pingan put the soft felt hat he had taken off on the counter, stretched out an index finger and put it in front of his mouth, and remembered in a hoarse voice: "Be quiet, doctor, it will be good for you."

"What are you trying to do! Do you know where this is? The police station is next to it!" Straightening up, Sheman McKinney faced the gun without fear, but his voice was still involuntarily lowered.

"Of course I know that, but I also know that Sergeant Malov seems to be a little busy right now?" Dai Ping'an had a bright smile on his face.

"Well, you can take what you want, but I don't have much money here"

After hesitating for a while, Sherman McKinney compromised, and he was about to open the cash register.

"No, no, no! I think you misunderstood, we just want to ask you to do a little favor, please send something to the friend behind the iron gate."

Sherman McKinney's eyes widened, he looked at the three people in front of him, and his tone became serious:

"Gentlemen, although I don't know your identities, I want to remind you that the people inside are not something you can provoke."

"Thank you very much for your reminder, we will remember it. But now please cooperate with us according to our request." The smile on Dai Ping'an's face remained the same, but the hoarse voice made the back of Sherman McKinney's neck tremble. A burst of chills:
"Of course, we can also open a hole in your body first. As long as you can't help shouting out, I believe the people inside will open the door to check. But then, the scene may be a little chaotic, and you are likely to be the first A man who was shot and died."

"They'll kill me later."

Sherman McKinney makes a last ditch effort.

Hearing this sentence, the smile on Dai Ping'an's face became even brighter, knowing that the other party had already chosen a compromise in his heart.He turned and picked up what he had brought, and handed it to Sherman McKinney.

Two bottles of Old Bloodeye Kentucky bourbon, and some corned beef.

"If you refuse, doctor, we will kill you now."

Seeing that the opponent was so fully prepared, Sherman McKinney knew that he had no other way out, and he chose to compromise with his body and heart.

After receiving the wine and meat, Sherman McKinney walked into the back room, where he treated patients.There is an iron door in the depths of the back room, which is obviously specially reinforced. There is a window that can be opened and closed above the iron door for observation.

Dai Ping'an and the others did not follow up in case they were discovered.Micah held a pistol outside the door and pointed it at Sherman McKinney. Dai Pingan made a final reminder:

"Doctor, you are a smart person, you know what to do and what not to do. But I still want to remind you at the end." He pointed to Micah next to him:
"This gentleman's marksmanship is very good, and he can definitely hit you in the head with one shot before you make any unnecessary moves!"

In order to cooperate with Dai Ping'an's words, Micah also smiled ferociously at Sherman McKinney.

Sherman McKinney was so frightened that he swallowed his saliva. He collected himself, walked to the thick iron gate with his wine and meat, and knocked four times, one long and three short.

"Whoa!"

The window on the iron door was opened, and a pair of vigilant eyes looked out from the inside. They scanned left and right, and looked at Sherman McKinney after making sure that nothing happened:

"Can I get off work? Why is it so noisy outside?"

"Not yet, something seems to have happened at the Smith Field bar, and Sergeant Maloof has brought people there to deal with it. You can't come out yet." Dr. Sherman McKinney was very calm:
"I have prepared some wine and meat for you, you should eat first."

The people inside didn't become suspicious, opened the iron door, took the wine and meat, and closed it from the inside.In the middle, Sherman McKinney didn't move extra. After the iron door closed, he turned and walked out.

Hosea and Micah breathed a sigh of relief.

The whole thing went so smoothly. Hosea, who didn't speak from the beginning to the end, took a deep look at Dai Pingan, while Mika was a little excited, smiling silently, with a face that wasn't ready yet. Even scarier.

Of course, the guns in the hands of both of them did not put down, and they were still pointing at the doctor Sherman McKinney.

Dai Pingan on the other side is much more comfortable.

While he was eating a package of chocolate candies that he found off the shelf, he was looking at the papers framed on the wall. It was Dr. Sherman McKinney's license to practice medicine.

Sheman McKinney walked back to the counter, found a key and handed it to Dai Pingan.It was the key to the iron door inside. Dai Ping'an looked at it and threw it to Mika. Mika took the key and walked into the inner room gently. He put his ear on the iron door and listened to the movement inside.

"Thank you very much for your help, doctor, please rest assured, all this will pass soon, our target is not you, and we will definitely not embarrass you"

Dai Ping'an comforted Sherman McKinney.After speaking, he pointed to the document in the photo frame on the wall and asked casually:

"Are the documents on the wall real or fake?"

"fake."

"..."

Dai Ping'an was a little speechless, he didn't expect to get such an answer when he asked casually.

"Then how do you usually treat patients as a doctor?"

"Just prescribe the medicine."

Perhaps it was because of talking about the major he was good at, Sherman McKinney was no longer so nervous and talked more:
""Heroine" is a drug that can treat many diseases. After taking it, many patients said that their conditions have been relieved. Whether it is pain or cough, they can be effectively controlled. Except that the price is a bit expensive, it has no disadvantages. I told me All patients recommended the drug."

"So, you O'Drisco Gang set up such a stronghold in Valentine, apart from collecting intelligence, the rest is for selling this medicine."

"Uh, to be precise, this pharmacy was opened to sell 'heroines'. Its profits are high and it can bring in a lot of income."

Sheman McKinney said that for some reason, Dai Pingan actually saw some pride and pride on his face:
"And this drug is under our exclusive control. Except here, you can't buy the drug "Heroine" in other parts of western New Hanover."

"Don't you think it's strange? I mean, it's not unusual for this drug to sell so much?"

"There is nothing unusual, and it is normal for patients with serious conditions to insist on long-term medication!"

Such an answer made Dai Pingan grit his teeth.

"What if the patient's condition worsens after taking this drug, or even dies?"

"Impossible! The drug "Heroine" can't have such serious side effects. At most, it can make some patients feel a little dizzy. If someone's condition really worsens, there must be other reasons.

Like Thomas at Downs Ranch, I prescribed so many Heroines for him, his cough got better with each dose.

I heard that he died this morning, it was because he spent all his money on other things and had no money to continue taking medicine.According to his condition, I suggested that he take five bottles of medicine in a row, but he only had enough money to buy two bottles.

His family wanted to get the medicine first and pay later, but I refused.

The drug "Heroine" is a bit expensive, but it's worth the money..." Sheman McKinney continued to introduce the drug.

The chocolate candy in Dai Pingan's mouth suddenly became bitter,
bitter,
very bitter,
Very, very bitter kind of bitterness,
The pain made his brain start to twitch,
It was so painful that he couldn't hear what Dr. Sherman McKinney said next.

He wanted to say something, but he couldn't, so he didn't say anything, just swallowed the bitter chocolate candy hard.

In the inner room, Mika heard the sound of someone falling to the ground through the door, and he waved to the two people outside.He didn't go in in a hurry, but waited and waited. After confirming that it was indeed quiet inside, he gently opened the iron door with the key.

The iron door opened, and the door shaft creaked in the process, but there was no reaction inside the iron door.With a gun in one hand and a dagger in the other, Micah walked in.

The smell of blood soon gushed out from the iron gate.

The whole thing seems to be a long time, but in fact it is very short.It took less than a few minutes from when the three of them entered the door to when Micah came out from behind the iron door with blood on his hands.Next door to the pharmacy, in the Smithfield bar, the laughter of women and men continued, but Sherman McKinney was no longer in the mood for curiosity.

The blood on Micah's hands startled him, but then he breathed a sigh of relief that it was finally over.

"There is also a safe inside that I can't open, it seems that I need to trouble you."

Micah was happy, clutching a thick wad of dollars in one bloody hand and a new pistol in the other.While speaking, he bent down and made a polite gesture of invitation to Hosea.

After finishing, he handed the pistol in the other hand to Dai Pingan.

"You really hit the spot. There is actually a gun on the table inside! It's a good gun, and it's the same one that Dach uses."

After finishing speaking, don't forget to remind:
"There is no bullet in the gun."

"Thank you!"

Dai Ping'an was a little excited. When he took the gun, he accidentally dropped the unfinished bag of chocolate candies on the ground.Black chocolate balls rolled out of the bag and rolled around the feet of the three of them.

Dr. Micah and Sheman McKinney looked down subconsciously, and the pistol in Dai Ping'an's hand followed suit, and it happened to hit the doctor's head...
