Wilderness Redemption Tour
Chapter 27 Past Events
Lin Yan looked at the ordinary-looking shoulder bag in his hand and exclaimed: "What a good thing! This thing is comparable to Doraemon's four-dimensional space bag. It is a must-have for home travel and killing people. In the future, I don't even need to replenish food, groceries and ammunition. I can just plunder the enemy for anything I need."
Lin Yan touched the shoulder bag in his hand lovingly and complained in his heart: This entrance is a bit small and can't fit anything too big.
Putting down the bag, Lin Yan turned his attention to the ordinary lottery wheel. This time he decided to turn the attribute wheel to improve his strength first, and then learn other skills.
The special draw just now seemed to have used up all of Lin Yan's luck. In the two ordinary draws, he only got Stamina +3 and Strength +3. Although the increase was not much, it was better than nothing.
Finally, Lin Yan was troubled by the free attribute point. In fact, he wanted to put it on the charm attribute, who doesn't want to be more popular? But charm has nothing to do with one's own strength, so he decided to keep this attribute point for the time being, and add it later if he sees what his shortcomings are.
He looked at his attribute panel again. Lin Yan, who had gained new attribute points, had the following attributes:
Name: Jamie Custer
Stamina: 9
Energy: 2
Stamina: 2
Power: 5
Agility: 11
Charisma: 2
Apart from agility which barely reached double digits, only stamina was acceptable among the other attributes.
Lin Yan looked at his attributes and muttered: Although it looks miserable, this attribute should be stronger than most people in the gang, especially since I also have the "Eye of Death" skill. Even if I can't compare to the protagonist Arthur, I should be considered the second tier of the gang's combat power.
After Lin Yan's brain exited this mysterious space and returned to the game, the space bag in his hand also returned to the game with his consciousness. Lin Yan excitedly stood up, took his windbreaker and belt, put the money, bullets and revolver on his belt in the windbreaker pocket and tried it out. He found that as long as he put the items into the space bag, the space bag system would automatically classify the items. When he wanted to take something out, he only needed a consciousness, and the item would appear in his hand that was stretched into the space bag, but the limitation was that he could only take out one thing at a time. But the money aspect was very interesting. Lin Yan tried to put a dollar in it, and then took out 1 cents with his consciousness, and what appeared in his hand was really 10 cents in change.
The system is smart, and it can even automatically change into change. Lin Yan looked at the inconspicuous bag in his hand with satisfaction, and liked it more and more. After thoroughly understanding its functions, Lin Yan reluctantly put the bag next to his pillow, and then prayed that he would have a good dream again later.
The next day, Lin Yan was awakened by the groaning of the man next door. He knocked hard on the wall behind him in protest, but it didn't work. Even though the other party deliberately lowered his voice, his groaning, which was not sure whether it was painful or excited, continued to stimulate Lin Yan's ears. Finally, Lin Yan, who couldn't bear it any longer, had to get up.
After putting on his clothes and slinging the space bag over his shoulder, Lin Yan came to the lobby on the first floor.
"Good morning, sir. How was your rest?" The hotel owner who was making coffee saw Lin Yan coming downstairs and greeted him with a smile.
"Don't mention it." Lin Yan sat down on the sofa in the lobby and said angrily, "There's a man next door who is doing something early in the morning. He keeps yelling. Listen carefully, I can hear it vaguely from here."
The hotel owner said apologetically, "I'm so sorry, sir. I forgot to tell you last night. Mr. Priestley, who lives next door to you, suffers from intestinal disease and has lived in my hotel for several years. Because he often groans, the room next to him is usually empty at night. I opened this room for you last night because the hotel was full. How about this, I will refund you the room fee this time, as compensation from our hotel."
A night's accommodation fee for free, is there such a good thing? Lin Yan took back the accommodation fee amid the hotel owner's apology. He remained calm on the surface, but in fact, he was very happy. After getting the money and returning the key to the hotel owner, Lin Yan was about to go out to see if Arthur and the others who were sleeping in the tavern had woken up, when the door of the hotel was pushed open from the outside.
"Oh, Jamie, the bartender told me that you live here, and I was just about to look for you." It was Arthur who walked in.
"Hey, Arthur, how did you sleep last night?" Lin Yan greeted Arthur and walked out of the hotel with him.
"I slept well, but I have a headache. Also, I think I got drunk last night and had a fight with someone, why does my face hurt to the touch?" Arthur said, reaching out and touching his cheeks on both sides.
"You didn't fight, you just played games with Lenny last night." Lin Yan said vaguely. He decided that if Arthur didn't continue to ask, he shouldn't tell him about the embarrassing incident.
The two men pushed open the door of the pub and found a table to sit down.
"Thank you for taking care of me last night! If it weren't for you, Lenny, Sadie and I would probably wake up on the street today."
"We're all family, no need to be so polite. By the way, Arthur, did you go to see Sheriff Malloy last night?"
"That's right." Arthur nodded and said, "I went to the police station to find him last night and told him that if he could help me rescue Micah in Strawberry Town, I would give him the plate of the photo I took before."
"So what was the result? I heard you say last night that the trip wasn't very successful."
Arthur sighed and said, "Malloy told me that he has no right to transfer prisoners from another town to his place, but he is an old acquaintance of Sheriff Hanley of Strawberry Town, and he once saved Sheriff Hanley's life. Last night, he wrote a letter in front of me and asked me to take it to Sheriff Hanley, saying that after he reads it, maybe we only need to pay a certain amount of fine to take Micah away."
"It would be best if we could avoid conflicts with the town's law enforcement officers. This is something to be happy about. Why don't you look happy?"
"The ransom for an ordinary criminal is ridiculously high, let alone a murderer like Micah who kills people in the street. If the ransom is too high and exceeds our ability to bear, we will have no choice but to clash with them."
Before leaving the hotel, Lin Yan had put all his money into the space bag. He took a look at the total amount, which was only a little over 200 US dollars, which was what Arthur said he earned in the previous week. He didn't know how much money Arthur and Lenny could come up with, but seeing Arthur's pessimistic look, Lin Yan felt that even if they could raise enough money for Micah's ransom, this trip would empty their pockets.
"We can earn money again if we lose it. If we act too aggressively and are targeted by the people chasing you, we won't even have a foothold here. Don't you still have a few wanted warrants? Let's see if there are other wanted people in Strawberry Town. If nothing else, Sadie and I can go out and look for them, or think of other ways to make money. In addition, don't we have news about a train? There are rich people on that train. If we succeed, it should be able to make up for our losses this time."
Arthur was silent for a while before he slowly said, "You're right, Jamie. It's best not to have a conflict with the police. After what happened in Blackwater Town, I can no longer think in the same way as before. It's better not to provoke those law enforcement officers easily. The more people we provoke, the more likely we will attract official attention."
"I always hear you mention Blackwater Town. What happened to the gang in Blackwater Town before that makes you so worried?" Lin Yan asked Arthur the question he had always wanted to know.
Arthur stood up and asked the bartender for two bottles of beer. On the way back to his seat, he opened one himself and handed the other to Lin Yan. He took a sip of beer and said with lingering fear, "We moved from New Austin to Blackwater. Before we got to Blackwater, two new members joined the gang, Micah and a girl named Jenny. Micah was a fugitive that Dutch met in a tavern. Dutch said that he seemed to have a conflict with his employer, and then he killed the employer's family and escaped. Jenny was someone we met on the way to Blackwater, and Dutch took her in out of pity. While in Blackwater, Hosea planned an elaborate scam about a man with A real estate developer with a lot of money. Dutch also heard from Micah that a money transport ship with a lot of cash docked at the Blackwater Pier. Hosea and I both thought it was unreliable to rob a money transport ship, because we didn't know whether the news was true or not. Even if it was true, the danger was quite high for us. But Dutch insisted on doing it, so the gang was divided into two groups. One group carried out fraud with me and Hosea, and the other group prepared to rob with Dutch. We originally thought that after completing these two jobs, we would leave Blackwater Town and go to somewhere in the western desert. "
Arthur raised his head and took a big sip of beer, then continued, "While Hosea's plan was still being implemented, something went wrong with Dutch. I didn't dare to ask him directly about this, but Javier told me. He said that they successfully got the money after boarding the ship, but when they wanted to leave, a large number of Pinkerton detectives appeared and ambushed them. From that moment on, the robbery turned into a massacre. In order to threaten those who surrounded them, Dutch even shot and killed an innocent girl on the ship. After they got off the ship, Hosea, Sean and I had to give up the plan to cover their retreat. During the retreat, Mike and Jenny were killed, and David and John were also shot. Later I heard that Sean, who covered their retreat, was also captured. When the rest of us successfully escaped, Dutch hid the stolen money near Blackwater Town. Because the incident happened suddenly, the gang's supplies, including the money we had worked hard to save, were all left in Blackwater Town. Pinkerton detectives continued to hunt us down, and we had to flee north to the snow-capped mountains. During this time, Jenny and David also died of serious injuries, and we had to bury them in the snow-capped mountains."
Arthur rubbed his cheeks and drank the beer in his hand. "Then it was after we came down from the snowy mountain. It was at that time that I met you in this tavern."
Lin Yan followed Arthur's line of thought and analyzed: "Logically speaking, the money transport ship should be protected by a large number of people. How could Dutch get the money so easily?"
"I asked Javier about this, and he said he didn't know. Anyway, Dutch and Micah got them in very smoothly. The money on the ship was not guarded very strictly, and they got into the room where the money was kept very easily. I even suspected that this was a trap set by Micah and Detective Pinkerton, but if it was a trap, they would not have put so much money on the ship. Javier said that Micah was also very surprised when he saw those Pinkerton detectives suddenly appear, and he was also very active when fighting. Mainly because Dutch had no doubts about Micah afterwards, so I gave up the idea that Micah was a spy."
Lin Yan stroked his chin, which had grown a beard, and said, "That's strange, because according to your description, this is too much like a trap, except that the bait is real, and you swallowed it. Did Dutch say how much money he robbed this time?"
Arthur shook his head. "Dutch didn't say anything, and none of us dared to ask him. But I saw a report about it in the newspaper, and it said that 15 yuan was stolen."
"15!" Lin Yan's eyes widened and he almost cried out. "15 is enough to buy a town! If you get this money, you can completely get rid of this identity and run away."
Arthur didn't look at Lin Yan, whose voice was a little unusual, because anyone would inevitably get excited after hearing such a huge amount of money, and even he was a little bit unbelievable after seeing the report. He looked down at the empty bottle in his hand and said, "Yeah... But Dutch said it was unsafe to move with the money, so he hid the money in Blackwater Town, a place only he knew. Now Blackwater Town has been blocked by Pinkerton detectives, and wanted posters of gang members are posted everywhere in the town. If we go back now, we will be looking for death. So Dutch plans to wait until the storm is over before going back to get the money."
"Then you can just do some small things to earn a little money to support yourself. Then there will be a large sum of money waiting for you to take. You don't need to work so hard for a living."
"In fact, most people in the gang have this idea, but with so many people in the camp, the daily food expenses are a lot of money. It will take at least one to two years for the Blackwater incident to pass, and we have to find a way to support ourselves during this period. In addition, Pinkerton detectives are still hunting us, so we won't stay in one place for too long. I hope Dutch will be cautious in his next decision, and I also hope that after we rescue Micah this time, he won't cause us any more trouble."
Seeing that his companions had not come out yet, Arthur was getting a little impatient. He stood up and said, "Huh! It's getting late. Why haven't Lenny and Sadie come out yet? Which room is Lenny in? I'll go call him. Jamie, go call Sadie."
"Lenny is in room 102, here are the keys." Lin Yan took out three keys from his pocket, identified one of them and handed it to Arthur, then took the other two and went upstairs.
Knocking on the door of room 202, Lin Yan said through the door: "Mrs. Adler, are you up? We are about to leave."
There was no response from inside the house. Just as Lin Yan was considering whether to knock again, Sadie, wearing only a shirt, opened the door.
