Wilderness Redemption Tour

Chapter 48: Gift from the "Clock"

After dismounting, the three of them took advantage of the cover of the woods and successfully arrived not far from the temporary camp.

"Now let's move forward carefully and be careful not to make any noise." Javier commanded in a low voice.

So the three of them crouched and moved forward for a distance, until they came to a low pine tree, and then Lin Yan could see the specific situation of the camp clearly.

A covered carriage and four horses were the only means of transportation for the group. The tallest of them, a bay sand-colored Ardennes horse, belonged to Bill.

In this makeshift camp, in addition to Bill who was tied tightly beside the wheel, two people were packing up cooking tools, one was trying to extinguish the embers of the campfire with his feet, and the last one was guarding outside the camp with a gun.

"There are only four of them, and they are all here. Let's divide them up and try to solve the problem instantly." After seeing the situation clearly, Javier made a decision immediately.

"Leave the guard to me. Jamie, you deal with the one stepping on the fire. Sadie will take care of one of the other two. As for the remaining one, it depends on who is faster among us."

"Any questions? No problem, just listen to me count down."

"No problem." Lin Yan half-knelt on the ground, holding the rifle he had taken out when he dismounted, and made an OK gesture. Sadie shook her head silently.

Seeing that both of them were fine, Javier raised his revolver, aimed at the moving guard, and counted: "3...2...shoot!"

The muzzles of the three guns spurted out flames almost at the same time, and the three people being targeted fell down. The next moment, the muzzles of the three guns were aimed at the last person in the camp.

"Bang...bang bang!" After three gunshots, the last bounty hunter in the camp was hit by three bullets when he just took out his gun and was about to find cover to fight back. He fell down with an unwilling look on his face, and he could not die any more.

"Hahaha! Well done! Go to hell, you bastards!"

Bill, who was tied up like a dumpling, saw the bounty hunters who were telling dirty jokes one moment and fell to the ground and turned into corpses the next moment. He immediately cheered excitedly at the top of his voice.

"I'll help him untie the rope, and the spoils will be yours." Javier put away his gun, walked out from behind the tree, and walked towards Bill.

These are the tenth and eleventh people I have killed personally. Lin Yan put the rifle behind his back and muttered to himself.

After only 9 days in this world, Lin Yan, the city otaku, has already killed double-digit enemies, not including those who injured them and made them lose their combat effectiveness.

He felt that he was transforming from a good-for-nothing city otaku into a western legend, of course, with the help of the system, in the game world.

After a moment of distraction, Lin Yan returned to his previous state. "Let's go over there and see if we can find something valuable."

As he spoke, he stood up and habitually brushed off the non-existent dust on his knees, then walked slowly towards the simple makeshift camp with Sadie.

On the other side, Javier had already used a dagger to cut the rope on Bill. Bill stood up, rubbed his wrist and said, "Thanks, Javier, I owe you this time."

Then, he looked at Lin Yan and Sadie who had just walked over. "Thank you both for coming to save me."

"We are all family, so it's our duty to do this. I'm glad to see that you are okay." Lin Yan replied politely.

"Okay, I'll leave these guys to you. I'm going back to the camp now and let Pastor Swanson take care of the wound. See you at the camp."

"I'll go back with Bill. Thanks to Jamie and Sadie." Javier put his thumb and index finger into his mouth and blew a loud whistle. His American spotted horse heard the call and trotted from the roadside to his side. Even Lin Yan and Sadie's horses followed.

In Lin Yan's opinion, this move was simply a magical skill. Which man could refuse such a convenient and cool skill? At this moment, he made up his mind to ask Arthur for advice as soon as he had time after returning and master this skill as soon as possible.

After watching Javier and Bill leave, Lin Yan and Sadie symbolically searched the temporary camp. Although he had killed many people with his own hands, Lin Yan was still a little timid when facing the corpses.

There is no way, this game world is too real, even the details after the death of creatures are not spared.

Apart from a meagre $7 in cash and a silver pocket watch, they did not find anything valuable. A few old guns were appraised by Sadie and were worth only three or four dollars at most, and that was if the gun shop was willing to recycle them.

As for the carriage and horses, the situation was not optimistic. On the road, it was normal to have one horse following the carriage, but with so many, anyone would be suspicious. Besides, these horses were not of good quality, and the carriages were not luxurious. Even if they were sold to Seamus on the black market, they would not be sold at a high price. It would be a thankless task to take them away.

Although Lin Yan was somewhat averse to the dead, he felt at ease taking the items found on them. In his opinion, things are meant to be used by people, and as long as they can be used, anyone can use them. Unlucky? Not true. Banknotes pass through the hands of countless people every day, and it is unknown which owner will suddenly die in a miserable way, but the banknotes on his body are still loved by everyone, and no one has ever said that they are unlucky.

Therefore, this pocket watch naturally became Lin Yan's tool for telling time in the future.

Perhaps because the harvest did not meet expectations, Sadie complained as she mounted her horse:

"It's really shameful for a bounty hunter to do what they did. How could Bill be caught by these guys? I don't know whether I should say he's stupid or these guys are lucky."

"Maybe it was just an accident. These people's vigilance was too low. I don't think they can catch Bill in a head-on battle."

"Accident?" Sadie almost laughed out loud when she heard this explanation. "Then I hope that such an accident will never happen to us."

As they approached the camp, Lin Yan took out a pocket watch from the lining pocket of his jacket and checked the time.

It was just past four in the afternoon and there was still quite a while before dark.

I don't know how well Arthur prepared before robbing the train. I've been here for several days, and I've passed by Valentine's station three or four times, but I haven't seen a train from the last century. This is really unlucky.

After saying hello to Lenny who was guarding the perimeter, the first thing Lin Yan did when he entered the camp was to find Leopold who was reading a book next to the supply cart and hand him the loan he had collected.

"Oh, Mr. Custer, I'm glad to see you back safely." Leopold closed the book, stood up and said, "Arthur has just returned. I was waiting for you."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Strauss. We just ran into Javier when we came back. He said Bill..." Lin Yan said as he took out the debts received from the two debtors today from different pockets.

"Bill was kidnapped by a group of bounty hunters. Yes, I know. Everyone in the camp knew about it as soon as he came back." Leopold took over the money owed by Miss Miley, then pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose and carefully counted the amount.

"The number matches." After confirming that it was correct, he took the rings, jewelry and other gold and silver ornaments that Sadie found from Mr. Robert's house and appraised their value.

After the valuation was completed, Leopold smiled and said, "Mr. Custer, this order was well done. In addition to the outstanding amount, there is also interest. I have to say that your outstanding work ability has changed my opinion of you a lot. I take back what I said this morning. You are very suitable for this job."

"I'm glad I could help you." Lin Yan still cared a lot about other people's compliments. When he saw the other party sit down again, he happily said goodbye.

From the conversation just now, he learned that Arthur had returned before him, and he wanted to ask Arthur about the train.
