Wilderness Redemption Tour

When Lin Yan woke up again, it was already daylight. He sat up and saw that apart from him, only Charles, who was in charge of surveillance, was awake, while the rest were still lying on the ground and snoring.

Rubbing his sore neck, waist and buttocks, Lin Yan walked towards Charles, who was in charge of surveillance.

At this time, Charles was lying on the edge of the cliff in front, watching the movements below with a telescope. Lin Yan didn't know whether he had not slept since they arrived or had gotten up early to monitor the situation.

Lin Yan followed Charles' example and walked over to him and lay down, then looked at the town ahead.

The town in front of us should be the Blackwater Town where the Van der Linde Gang stayed before. At first glance, this town is obviously much larger than Valentine. In addition, because it is next to the Branded Iron Lake, which connects the Lanahatchee River, the Dakota River, the Upper and Lower Montana Rivers, and the St. Louis River, there is also a dock in the town.

Charles glanced at Lin Yan, then turned his gaze to the image in the telescope again, and asked with his lips that were dry and cracked due to lack of water: "Why did Javier only bring back the three of you? Where are the others in the gang? Where is Arthur?"

Lin Yan followed Charles' gaze and looked at the camp below the cliff. He said, "Everyone happened to be away. Arthur received a letter that was supposedly from his ex-girlfriend and disappeared early yesterday morning. When Javier went back to call for help, there were only three of us who could come to the entire camp."

"I've seen your reflexes, they're pretty strong, but I don't know how good your marksmanship is. If we want to rescue Sean, we can't avoid a conflict with these bounty hunters."

"My shooting skills are pretty good. I think I'm pretty accurate."

Charles nodded imperceptibly. "Then I'm relieved." Then he fixed his eyes, nudged Lin Yan with his elbow and said, "Go wake everyone up. Those bounty hunters are taking Sean away and are about to set off."

Just as Lin Yan was about to stand up, Charles reached out and accurately grabbed the hem of his jacket and pulled him down again.

"Don't stand up! You'll be discovered! Crouch down and back away, then stand up once you're far away."

"Oh..."

Lin Yan followed what Charles said, half-crouched and stepped back a distance before standing up. He woke up Javier, Bill and Josiah one after another, and finally came to Sadie and pushed her shoulder as she lay on the blanket.

After pushing her and seeing that Sadie didn't wake up, Lin Yan changed from pushing to patting her, while softly calling Sadie's name.

"Sadie! Wake up! Sadie! We have to go!"

Lin Yan patted her several times before Sadie opened her eyes.

"Hurry up, we should go."

Sadie was still in a daze, having just woken up. "Leave? Where to? Aren't we going to save Sean?"

"Sean is about to be transferred. We will follow the people escorting him, and then take the opportunity to rescue Sean on the way." Lin Yan explained patiently.

Sadie sat up and rubbed her face, and then she became a little more energetic.

At this time, the other three people who were awakened by Lin Yan, except Bill, had surrounded Charles, looking down with him and discussing the next actions.

After discussing, the three of them crouched and retreated to a safe distance before standing up. Charles, carrying his hunting bow, exchanged glances with Bill, Lin Yan, and Sadie before mounting his horse and leaving.

"Hey! Charles! Where are you going?" Bill shouted at his back when he saw Charles leaving without saying goodbye.

Seeing Bill suddenly start to yell, Javier rushed over and kicked Bill in the ass. "Damn it! Bill, can you use your brain? If the people down there find us, Sean will die right here."

Josiah also came over and explained, "Sean has been taken on board. In order not to lose them, Charles will go to the north of the valley and follow the boat with us along the Upper Montana River."

"What are we waiting for? Let's catch up." Bill urged anxiously after hearing Josiah's explanation.

"Bill, you'd better follow us. There are often Pinkerton detectives and their men patrolling this area. You'd better behave yourself, watch your mouth, hold your reins tightly, and don't cause us trouble." Josiah also warned him.

Bill said impatiently, "Got it! Let's get going!" Then he pointed at Lin Yan and Sadie who had just stood up. "Boy over there, and the widow, don't just stand there, pack up and get going."

Seeing Sadie clenching her fists and about to go to Bill to settle the score, Lin Yan hurriedly pulled her back and advised, "Forget it, you know he's not very smart, don't bother with him, let's go."

After the two of them and Josiah put the blanket on the ground back on the horse's back, Josiah led them along the river bank of Blackwater Town to the cliff above the Upper Montana River.

Lin Yan hadn't noticed anything when he came at night, but after walking around Blackwater Town during the day, he realized that the scenery around Blackwater Town was much more desolate than that around the Horseshoe Lookout. The land that should have been full of vitality in spring was now covered with exposed loess and gravel, and a few unknown shrubs appeared on the road from time to time. The trees nearby were relatively sparse and thin, far less lush than the trees around the Horseshoe Lookout camp.

After waiting for a while, they saw a small boat turn from Flatiron Lake into the Upper Montana River. Because it was upstream, the boat was not moving very fast.

"Look, the ship is coming!" Javier reminded.

Josiah turned his horse and said to the crowd, "Come on, let's follow him. Don't pull out your gun yet, Bill, and don't look at anyone else. I'm talking about you. Don't act rashly. We'll have a chance to do it on the way."

"We are so close to the cliff, won't the people on the boat discover us?" Lin Yan felt that he had thought of a crucial question.

"That's a good question!" Josiah praised. "If they see us, we should pretend to be hunters hunting up there, and not look down so often. We should act more naturally."

Several people followed the boat in the canyon, moving and stopping. After about half an hour, the boat below stopped at a river bank.

Josiah and Javier took out binoculars from their saddle bags and looked over there. Josiah said as he looked over there, "Hmm... I saw Sean being taken off the boat. Oh, Sean seemed to have said something to them, and was knocked to the ground by one of them. He must have been hit hard."

Javier chuckled at the sight and said, "Just by looking at this picture I can imagine how mean Sean is."

"Now they have pulled Sean up, and it looks like they want to take him to the valley ahead."

"Josiah, look right above them, Charles is already guarding there."

Josiah waved to Charles over there, and Lin Yan vaguely saw that Charles also responded to Josiah.

Josiah put the telescope back into the saddle bag, turned his horse and said, "Come on, I have an idea. Let's go down first."

Several people followed a downward ramp in front of them and went down to the river bank where the bounty hunters had parked their boat. There was no one on the bank at this time, only the boat was left alone on the shore.

Josiah dismounted first and said, "Let's dismount here and walk over. Be careful not to make too much noise."

After saying that, he tiptoed to the canyon entrance and looked in. Two bounty hunters were sitting on a low boulder with their backs to the canyon entrance, chatting.

Josiah turned his head and looked at the four people behind him, then called Javier and Bill to his side and pointed at the two people in the canyon and said, "Take out your daggers, go and kill the two guys who have their backs to us. Kill them quietly. Remember my words, Bill, kill them quietly."

Javier and Bill nodded at the same time, drew the daggers from their waists, and crouched over to move towards the two men.

The two bounty hunters had no idea of ​​their impending death. One was still smoking leisurely, while the other was chatting with his companion.

Lin Yan saw Javier and Bill approaching behind the two men, staring at each other and standing up at the same time. Bill used his size advantage to cover the man's mouth with his left hand, and slashed his throat with his right hand holding the knife. Javier pulled the man down from behind, covered his mouth before he could react, and then stabbed him several times in the heart.

Seeing that the two had safely killed their respective enemies, Josiah joined Lin Yan and Sadie and the two continued to move forward.

Above the valley, Charles also used his hunting bow to kill a bounty hunter who was on sentry duty above the valley, spotted the enemy and was ready to warn. But as luck would have it, the other party was shot and fell not on the grass behind him, but into the valley in front of him.

The sound of the body hitting the rocks below alerted the other bounty hunters in the valley. After noticing the abnormality, they took out their pistols or rifles, began to shout to remind their companions to be vigilant and beware of attacks, and began to search for the perpetrators in an orderly manner.

Seeing this, Josiah shrugged helplessly. "I originally wanted to kill some of the enemies in secret, but now it seems that this won't work. Fire freely and try to make a quick decision in case Sean encounters any accidents."

Bill's warlike character could no longer hold back his desire to fight. Hearing Josiah's words, he put away his dagger, picked up the rifle behind him, and ran to a natural shelter ahead.

The valley in front of Lin Yan was not a straight line, but a zigzag uphill slope. When Bill ran over, the bounty hunters in the valley did not find him.

Bill saw that there was no one in front of him, and immediately called for others to come over from behind the bunker. The others also ran to other bunkers in front of them fully armed. Javier and Josiah each found a fallen rock that could protect their whole body, while Lin Yan and Sadie leaned against the mountain wall on one side, fully guarding against the enemies appearing on the opposite cliff.

Just as they were getting ready, the first group of searchers appeared in their sight. Bill, who was still anxious, fired the first shot of the ambush. Following Bill's gunshot, Javier and Josiah, who were closer to the enemy, also fired. In just a moment, the three patrollers were knocked to the ground. Two of them were motionless on the spot, and the remaining one wailed a few times before dying.

"The enemy is down there!" "Pick out a few people to follow me up there!" "Go and inform the people in the camp to keep an eye on the prisoner that was just brought in. If the battle isn't over within five minutes, take him away!"

Lin Yan, who was at the end, didn't hear the shouts clearly, but Josiah, who was at the front of the team, heard them clearly. He was about to urge everyone to move forward when he saw several more enemies suddenly appearing at the corner.

"Damn it! If we don't hurry up Sean will be sent to jail."

"Josiah, if the enemy is determined to deal with us, we won't be able to kill all of them within five minutes." Javier said to Josiah after shooting down an enemy before he could find cover.

Josiah responded while looking for an opportunity to fight back: "I know! I'm already thinking of a way."

Lin Yan was not idle at the back either. He turned on the Eye of Death and aimed at an enemy that appeared on the opposite cliff. He fired two shots in a row, hitting the enemy in the leg, causing him to lose balance and fall off the cliff.

Josiah turned around and happened to see this scene. His eyes lit up and he suddenly had an idea.

"Jamie, you and the lady next to you should go back and ride your horses. Go around to the camp of these people and try to delay them. Don't let them take Sean away. Just delay them. We will be there soon!"

Amid the hail of bullets, Josiah hid behind a bunker and told Lin Yan his plan in one breath.

Lin Yan didn't know the enemy's plan, but after hearing Josiah tell him the truth in an anxious tone, he didn't hesitate at all. He just replied "I know" and then quickly left the valley with Sadie.

"Now that there are no outsiders here, it's time for us to show our skills!" Lin Yan said excitedly to Sadie as he mounted his horse.

Because they were not facing the O'Driscoll gang, Sadie's IQ was still online. She kindly reminded: "You'd better be careful. Besides, if you want to save people, you have to try to kill people."

"I understand!" Lin Yan nodded, as if he had made up his mind. After saying this, he squeezed the horse's belly hard and controlled the horse under him to run towards the bounty hunter camp across the valley.

Circumventing the fighting crowds inside and outside the valley, Lin Yan rode his horse not far before he saw several wooden houses and a water tower in front of him. One of the houses seemed to be unfinished, and there were several logs piled on the open space next to it.

The people in the camp had obviously received the news. When they saw two strangers rushing towards them on horseback, they would have warned the other party in the past, but this time they directly attacked the two.

Lin Yan, who had already drawn his two guns and was ready to fire, was not that worried. The enemy was still far away from him, and shooting now would be useless except for wasting bullets and time. He estimated the distance and controlled the speed of the horse. After the enemies in the front had finished their second round of shooting, he suddenly accelerated the horse and rushed to the front of the enemy, then opened the Eye of Death and instantly aimed the muzzle at the enemy closest to him.

Since most of the bodies of these enemies were hiding in the bunkers, Lin Yan couldn't save their lives even if he wanted to.

Alas! You guys are unlucky. I have been in this world for a week and have seen so much killing. Today I have to eat some meat!
