Wilderness Redemption Tour

"Haha, I was just kidding." Sadie laughed heartily, raised her hand to straighten the brim of her hat, and said with a serious expression: "I plan to be a bounty hunter."

When Sadie said this, the other three people present were stunned at the same time.

"Why?" Lin Yan asked in surprise.

"Yes, we have money now, so it's okay if we don't work in the future."

"There's nothing wrong with finding something to do, but isn't being a bounty hunter a bit dangerous?"

"It's not only dangerous, but also hard work. Sleeping in the open and going hungry are commonplace."

Dutch and Arthur tried to persuade him.

Sadie had anticipated that others would have this reaction, and when no one spoke, she hugged her knees and slowly stated the reason why she did this.

"I didn't do this on a whim. In fact, I have had this idea for a long time. I don't know if you have ever thought about how many people like me have lost their family members in this country, and how many of them have been immersed in the pain of losing their family members for the rest of their lives because they cannot seek revenge. I have endured this kind of pain, and I know how it feels to be tortured by it. I am unfortunate, but compared to others, I am much luckier than them. There are very few people like me who can take revenge with my own hands. It is said that with great power comes great responsibility. I feel that I have an obligation to help those poor people like me."

The expression on Sadie's face was very sincere when she spoke. Lin Yan believed that she was not just talking casually, she really wanted to do it.

Dutch and Arthur looked at Sadie with a little more understanding and a hint of embarrassment in their eyes. After all, they had done what Sadie said before, more or less.

"Dutch, what are your plans?" Lin Yan was not sure about Sadie's decision, so he turned to ask Dutch. "Like you said before, take a boat to Tahiti, or some other small island in the Pacific?"

Dutch hesitated for a moment, touched his nose and said, "That's indeed my plan, but the specific details need to be determined after discussing it with Hosea and the others."

Without waiting for Lin Yan to continue asking, Da Qi stood up and urged, "Okay, it's almost time to rest. Let's get to the agreed location as soon as possible. If everything goes well with Hosea, they should be waiting for us."

After pouring the last bit of canned soup into his mouth, Lin Yan stood up and put out the campfire in front of him with the others, then headed straight for the agreed location under the leadership of Dutch.

The place where Dutch and Hosea agreed to meet was a long-abandoned small trading post on the hillside of Roanoke Mountain. Hosea discovered this place by chance when he went up the mountain to hunt. Because it had been abandoned for a long time and the roads that used to pass through here had all been diverted over the years, Dutch, who had only heard of this place from Hosea but had never been to this place, took Lin Yan and others back and forth near the target point in the dark for a long time. Finally, Javier, who was keeping watch outside the house, recognized them and took them back.

For safety reasons, Hosea did not turn on the lights in the house. Moreover, the area of ​​the room was very limited. After bringing Lin Yan and the others in, Javier did not even let them in. Instead, he called out the people in the house.

When asked about what happened in the evening, Hosea said that everything went well on his side. Not only was everyone safe, but even the money they robbed in the morning was brought out without missing a penny.

It was now late at night. The two groups met up successfully. After confirming that the other party was fine, everyone, tired from a day's work, quickly fell into a deep sleep.

At noon the next day, the Van der Linde gang, who had escaped Pinkerton's pursuit again, settled temporarily at the Veteran Farm next to Oakcliff Pond, which was once the Hamish family's home, at Lin Yan's suggestion.

When they came to this place again, Lin Yan and Sadie were reminded of Hamish's accidental death.

According to statistics, Hosea brought out more than 34 US dollars, nearly 35 US dollars. If it was divided equally among everyone present, each person would get more than 4 US dollars. In the western United States where the average daily wage was less than two dollars, 4 was definitely a huge sum of money.

In a blink of an eye, it was the fourth day. After two days of rest, Dutch and Hosea came to a conclusion on their future plans.

The two decided to take a train across the continental United States, and then hire a boat on the west coast of the United States to go to Tahiti, their second homeland that they had never seen, via Hawaii. Hosea roughly calculated the cost of the trip and estimated that the cost of the trip would be around $6000. If there were more people going with them, the cost could be reduced.

Aunt Susan and Bill didn't have anywhere they wanted to go, nor did they have any wishes to fulfill. They said they would follow Dutch's arrangements and go wherever he went.

But it was different for Javier. He was Mexican, and he came to the United States far away from his hometown because he was persecuted. Lin Yan had learned from Arthur that he had led revolutions in Mexico many times before coming to the United States, and Arthur even jokingly called him a revolutionary. Although he said that he also wanted to leave with Dutch, he still had unfinished business in his country. After following Dutch for so many years, he said that he had learned a lot. All good things must come to an end, and now it was time for him to go back and fulfill his mission.

In the afternoon at Lodz Station, Alden, wearing the uniform of a station staff, was as bored as usual, leaning over the table in front of him, counting the time until the end of get off work. As he was counting, with a creak, the door of the ticket hall was pushed open.

"Buy a ticket, send a letter or pick it up?" Alden asked without looking up.

Lin Yan walked to the ticket window and knocked on the table, "Hey, brother, it's me."

Hearing this familiar accent, Alden raised his head and instantly perked up. "Brother Jamie! You haven't been here for a while. I thought you had lost your hand... Uh... Sorry, I'm glad to see you're okay. I just received two messages. Since we've worked together so many times, I'll sell it to you at a lower price this time."

Lin Yan shook his head and smiled nonchalantly. "I didn't come here for this this time. I wanted to ask you about the train and see if there were any letters sent to me."

"Train?" Alden's eyes widened. "Are you targeting the train?"

Lin Yan was somewhat speechless and said: "Please, I just want to buy a ticket."

"Oh, oh, that's good, that's good, I misunderstood, hehe." Alden scratched the back of his head awkwardly, "What do you want to ask?"

"Are there any trains going west these days, preferably ones that go directly to the west coast? Also, trains going to Mexico or to the border."

"Hey, look at your question, it's not relevant at all. Wait a minute, let me take a look."

Alden said as he took out a small notebook from his pocket and started flipping through it.

"Hmm... There will be a direct bus to Mexico tomorrow, passing by here tomorrow at noon. As for the bus to the west coast... Hey! What a coincidence! It's also tomorrow, tomorrow evening. If you miss this one, the next one will be two weeks later."

"Okay, give me one to Mexico and four to the West Coast."

"Wow, you're going on a long journey." Alden sighed and immediately started to make a ticket for Lin Yan.

After getting the ticket and paying the fare, Lin Yan asked about the letter again.

"Jamie Custer and Tacitus Kilgore, wait, let me look..."

Alden lowered his head, opened the drawer containing letters, searched through it, and handed Lin Yan two letters. "Here, this is all I have."

"Thanks, brother." Lin Yan took the letter, said goodbye to Alden, walked out of the station hall, sat side by side with Sadie on the bench at the door, opened the letter and began to read.

There was only one letter written to him, and it was sent to him by Professor Dragic. When Lin Yan saw the signature, he couldn't wait to tear open the envelope.

There was a letter in the envelope, and also a check for $10,000. Seeing the check, Lin Yan smiled knowingly, it seemed that his bet was right.

The letter said that soon after Professor Dragic registered the patent in New York, someone found him and said they wanted to cooperate with him. After learning more about it, he realized that the other party was from the military and his patent was favored by the military. His invention was recognized again, and the other party was from a military department with a strong background. Lin Yan could imagine the other party's joy and excitement just from the flamboyant handwriting in the letter. Professor Dragic said that he was retained in the relevant department, and the salary offered by the other party was far beyond his imagination. The $10,000 check in the letter was to thank Lin Yan for his appreciation. If he hadn't been so discerning and generous in funding him to come to New York, he wouldn't have had this opportunity.

At the end of the letter, Professor Dragic said that it might take a long time before the patent dividends are distributed, and he hoped that he could wait patiently.

"Oh, wait patiently..." Lin Yan laughed at himself, "I can't wait any longer..."

After putting away the letter written to himself, Lin Yan opened another letter written to Arthur.

This letter was from the writer Levin to Arthur. There was also a check enclosed in the letter, but the amount on it was much less than the previous one, only three hundred and fifty dollars.

The letter said that the money was part of the royalties he received after his book was published. He was very grateful to Arthur for helping him complete the book. However, he wrote the book very badly, at least he thought it was very bad. But the sales of the book were surprisingly good. This was all thanks to Arthur. It was he who personally ended the life of the legendary gunman, and this was the reason why the book sold well - some people's value can only be reflected after their death.

After returning to the Veteran Farm, Lin Yan took out the train tickets he had bought and gave them to Dutch and Javier respectively, and then gave Arthur the letter that Levin wrote to him.

Early the next morning, Javier packed up his things, said goodbye to everyone, and set out on his journey home.

After having lunch early, the rest of the group followed Dutch and left the place. Lin Yan, Arthur and Sadie first sent Dutch and Hosea to the station. After watching them get on the train, Lin Yan and the other two came to the outside of the station to say their final goodbyes.

"Here, take them." Lin Yan said as he took out two packages from the space bag and stuffed them into Arthur and Sadie's arms respectively.

"Don't rush to refuse." Lin Yan took the lead to appease the two people who took out the bag and planned to return it, and explained with a smile: "I can't use this thing, so you guys should keep it."

Lin Yan took a step back, stretched out his right hand and waved to the two of them, saying: "I won't explain the specific reasons, and I won't say sad words. I just wish you a long life. Okay, I'm leaving first, and we'll meet again when we have the chance."

After saying that, Lin Yan gently pressed the return button on the taskbar with his mind.

A dazzling white light rose from under his feet, covering him completely. After an unknown amount of time, a faint "chi chi" sound brought him back to reality. Lin Yan opened his tightly closed eyes and found himself lying on the floor of the living room.

After being stunned for a while, Lin Yan propped up his upper body, "Ah! I'm finally back!" His eyes patrolled the living room and finally fell on the electronic clock on the wall opposite the door.

Looking at the date above, Lin Yan frowned and thought for a moment, muttering to himself: "I remember the day I left was December 16th, so I stayed in the game for more than three months, but only three hours passed in reality..."

"Creaky..." Just as he was thinking, a sharp creaking sound suddenly came from Lin Yan's bedroom. Lin Yan was very familiar with this sound. It was made by his mattress whose springs were partially broken.

Lin Yan was startled when he heard the voice and became alert instantly. There was someone else in the room besides him!

Just as Lin Yan was about to get up and go to the kitchen to get a knife, a series of heavy footsteps were heard from his bedroom again. Then, a familiar figure walked out with a confused look on his face.

The moment he saw the other person, Lin Yan couldn't help but widen his eyes and stare at the other person blankly.

"You...you...I...this..."

He couldn't utter a complete sentence.

Lin Yan's mind was full of questions. Wasn't Sadie a character in the game? Why did she appear in my house? Am I still in the game?
