Wilderness Redemption Tour

Chapter 81: Arms and Moonshining

Seeing the enemy who had just shouted at him to die now falling to the ground inexplicably, Lin Yan was obviously a little dazed.

Suspecting that this was a trap, he walked cautiously to the other party with the gun in hand, first kicked the pistol out of the other party's hand, and then kicked the other party's body with his foot.

After making sure that the target had lost the ability to resist, he imitated what he saw in the movies and reached out to touch the target's neck to confirm whether the target was still alive. But after touching for a long time and changing positions several times, he still couldn't feel the target's pulse.

Lin Yan thought he had lost 500 yuan in vain, so in order to confirm that the target was really dead, he reached out and felt the man's breath.

After feeling the other person's breath, the expression on Lin Yan's face could only be described as being at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

I just wanted to look cool, but I almost fell into a ditch. Luckily no one saw me make a fool of myself...

As long as people are still alive!

Lin Yan, half kneeling on the ground, took off the rope from his waist, cut it short with a knife, and tied up the target's hands and feet. After making sure that the ropes were tied tightly enough, he walked out of the watchtower to ask how things were going on at Sadie's end.

When discussing tactics just now, he and Sadie had agreed that whoever was closer to the target would be responsible for capturing the target alive, and the other would be responsible for clearing the battlefield to prevent any enemies from hiding or pretending to be dead, and then secretly shooting them when they were off guard.

The occasional gunshots outside just now were signals from Sadie to save the enemies who were not yet dead.

"Sadie, I'm fine here, how are you doing?"

After a few seconds, Sadie poked her head out from a half-collapsed wooden house below, holding a kerosene lamp in her hand.

"There are no survivors on land, but I found a basement here. Do you want to take a look?"

"Basement? What's in there? Treasure?" Thinking that there might be a large amount of money in there, Lin Yan raised his voice involuntarily.

"I haven't gone down to see it yet. If you are interested, come and see it yourself." After saying this, Sadie turned around and walked back into the house.

The basement in a fortress, the items that might be there completely aroused Lin Yan's interest. After looking back at the unconscious Lindsay Wofford, he jumped directly from the platform more than one person high and headed straight for the half-collapsed wooden house.

Inside the wooden house, Sadie, who was about to climb down the escalator, heard the noise and looked towards the door. When she saw it was Lin Yan, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and she jokingly said, "You came pretty quickly." After that, she continued to climb down.

After Lin Yan entered the house, he took a look at the surroundings. One side of the wooden house had completely collapsed, but the other side with the basement entrance was completely preserved. The basement entrance was in the corner of the wooden house. Seeing Sadie going down, Lin Yan was afraid that she would get into trouble down there, so he hurriedly followed her.

After going down, Sadie took the lantern and observed the surroundings. After finding that there was no light source below, she chose to stay there and wait for Lin Yan. After Lin Yan came down, she took him to search.

Without rushing to look for things, the two of them first walked around the entire basement along the edge, and concluded that the area here was the same size as the house above and there was only one floor.

After determining the size of the area, the two began searching for valuables.

When they were exploring around the edge just now, they found many wooden boxes on the wooden shelves against the wall. Lin Yan picked up a rusty dagger and pried open one of them. He found that it was filled with brand new rifles.

Surprised, Lin Yan used a dagger to pry open the wooden boxes around him one by one, and found that in addition to the bolt-action rifles, there were also carbines, a box of roller-locked sniper rifles and the matching bullets for these guns.

Looking at the shiny rifles in the box, Lin Yan muttered to himself: "Oh my God, Charles told me a few days ago that the Lemoyne Raiders were engaged in arms smuggling. I didn't expect that we would run into them today. So many guns must be worth thousands or tens of thousands..."

"But we don't have the channels. If we sell it ourselves, I'm afraid we can't sell it at that high a price." Sadie poured cold water on the excited Lin Yan.

Lin Yan shrugged, not caring at all. "It doesn't matter, as long as I can make some money, it's an unexpected gain anyway."

After looking at the big wooden box, Lin Yan turned his attention to several small boxes scattered around.

"There are weapons in the big box, what's in the small box..."

He muttered to himself as he lifted the lid of one of them.

The box was full of glass bottles filled with some kind of liquid. After opening it, a strong smell of alcohol came into Lin Yan's nose. Lin choked and coughed twice. He quickly covered his nose and picked up a bottle of wine with his other hand. The bottle was smooth and had no signs. "Is this... bootleg liquor?"

Lin Yan knew a little about bootleg liquor. It had been a lucrative business since its creation. The brewing process was simple and the profits were considerable. Although some places in the United States strictly prohibited private brewing at that time, many people still chose to take the risk.

However, in the late 19th century, bootleggers were rare. It was not until the United States enacted Prohibition that the bootlegger business really became popular. During the period of Prohibition, the profit from selling bootleggers was even higher than that from drugs. As far as he knew, the most famous American gangster, the Mafia, made a fortune quickly by selling bootleggers and accumulated their first pot of gold.

There were not many boxes of illegal liquor, and it seemed that the liquor was not for sale but for drinking by the people themselves.

In addition to guns and illegal liquor, Lin Yan also found two gold bars, but they were not big. They were probably worth only a few hundred dollars, so Lin Yan casually stuffed them into his space bag.

After searching the entire basement, Lin Yan said with a hint of regret: "It seems there is nothing else. It's a pity that I didn't find any cash."

Standing at the entrance, Sadie raised the lantern above her head, raised her chin slightly, looked at the weapon boxes with lids closed around the wall and asked, "How are you going to take these things away?"

Lin Yan touched his chin unconsciously. He missed the life where everyone had a mobile phone.

If I had a cell phone, I could just send Arthur and the others the location and ask them to move it. Now, I have to think of other ways...

Going back to the camp to call for help would take a whole day. Too many things could happen in one day, and Lin Yan didn't want to take the risk. Since they couldn't go back to call for help, they could only carry out their main business and rob a carriage on the road.

After thinking about what to do, Lin Yan pointed upwards and said, "Let's go up first. I'll carry Lindsay Wofford down. You stay up there and I'll go find a kind person on the road to 'borrow' a carriage."
