Wilderness Redemption Tour

At this moment, Lin Yan seemed to understand what the old man in front of him wanted to express.

As the think tank and brain of the gang, the one who kept Dutch awake at that moment, Hosea can be said to have dedicated everything to the gang.

He hopes more than Dutch that the gang can have a good ending and that the gang members can get the life they want.

"I don't think our situation is too bad. Isn't there a large sum of money waiting for Dutch to collect? As long as we act more steadily and steadily, it won't be difficult to hold on until then."

"Indeed, we have been through worse before." Hosea looked down at his hands resting on his knees.

"In the twenty years since Dutch founded the gang, we have committed many evil deeds, so many that even we ourselves can't remember the exact number. We went from a small gang of only three people to gradually becoming known to the public, and then to being rewarded by the government. The number of gang members has increased, and Dutch's reward has continued to increase, which has given us confidence, but also made us arrogant."

"Dutch is becoming less and less like himself. The defeat in Blackwater may be a warning, warning us not to be blindly aggressive, but judging from Dutch's style of doing things, he obviously did not learn this lesson."

"I'm worried that if this continues, we'll all die, just like every other creature in the world. Frankly speaking, an old guy like me should have died a long time ago, and even most of the people in the gang should have died. But you're different, kid. You're not in it yet. It's not too late to get out now."

Lin Yan felt that Hosea really persuaded him to leave for his own good, but Lin Yan's main mission was to redeem the gang members, so how could he just leave like that as Hosea wished?

Facing the old man's expectant gaze, Lin Yan said silently in his heart: Sorry, Hosea, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you. But we have the same pursuit, and in the days to come, I hope that what I do will satisfy you.

With his thoughts in a tizzy, under Hosea's expectant gaze, Lin Yan neither agreed nor refused, but gave an ambiguous answer.

He nodded slightly and said, "I will seriously consider your proposal. Please give me some more time."

Lin Yan didn't say what he needed time for, and Hosea didn't ask. He was a smart man, and he knew that Lin Yan had his own plans. Instead of persuading him, it would be better to end the conversation and wait and see.

Thinking of this, the expression on Hosea's face remained unchanged, and he didn't even look at Lin Yan again.

"In that case, let's end our conversation today. I'm going to sit here for a while and enjoy the sunset. Please do as you please."

After saying this polite remark, Hosea stood there like a sculpture, no longer responding to the outside world.

Lin Yan dragged his hungry body to the campfire with some disappointment.

Although Hosea's words let him know that the gang leader's goal was the same as his, but in his opinion, this was really not an important matter, at least not as important as filling his stomach...

While everyone was preparing for the bonfire party, Lin Yan scooped a bowl of steaming stew from the pot. After showing off a few chunks of stewed meat, he heaved a long sigh of relief.

"Huh! I'm finally not that hungry anymore..."

At the bonfire party in the evening, the former protagonists, barbecue and beer, were replaced by grilled fish and moonshine.

When the moonshine was unopened, the strong smell of alcohol had stimulated Lin Yan. Now that several bottles of moonshine had been opened, the whole camp was filled with a pungent smell of low-quality alcohol, and people who couldn't drink alcohol would get drunk just by smelling it.

However, other people in the camp enjoyed it. Not to mention old drunkards like the uncle and Pastor Swanson, even young people like Sean and Lenny enjoyed this kind of strong liquor.

Of course, ladies still drink lower-proof beer and brandy on such occasions.

After a few sips of wine, the people who were already talking and laughing became even more excited under the influence of alcohol. Dutch turned up the volume of the phonograph in his tent to the maximum, and danced waltz with Jasmine in the open space in the middle of the camp. The uncle and Javier's little yellow song band sang one song after another, pushing the atmosphere of the party to a climax.

Sadie was injured, so she applied medicine, ate something, and lay down to rest early. In order to take care of her, Marybeth did not join in this time.

At the beginning of the party, Lin Yan tried to drink a sip of moonshine at Arthur's instigation. As soon as the slightly turbid liquor entered his mouth, the intense burning sensation went along Lin Yan's mouth and esophagus, directly to his stomach. It was so spicy that Lin Yan grabbed a roasted fish and ate a few bites, and then gulped down a big mouthful of beer, which suppressed the overbearing burning sensation.

"Haha! Burp! It's obvious that this is Jamie's first time drinking. I... bet that after a few more sips, he will love... fall in love with this feeling." Sean hugged Karen, his steps lightly, and even his eloquence lost its usual agility under the influence of moonshine.

"No more, no more..." Facing the bottle that Arthur handed over again, Lin Yan waved his hands repeatedly. With his tolerance, gin was already his limit. He really couldn't appreciate the strong burning sensation of the moonshine.

In the following time, Lin Yan wandered around various small groups with a bottle of beer, listening to the uncle's dirty songs, joining Hosea's storytelling, and sitting opposite Bill to listen to his "talk". He even witnessed Sean and Karen's "night battle" when releasing water at the lake. Although he could only vaguely see two entangled white figures, the sound was even more exciting than seeing it with his own eyes.

After staying for only a moment, Lin Yan left in a hurry. One reason was that he was afraid of being seen by others, and the other was that he was afraid that he could not help himself.

While he was still clear-headed, Lin Yan walked back to his wooden bed and prepared to adjust his physical attributes.

After nearly a week of "eating, drinking and having fun", he also unlocked several achievements related to hunting, fishing, and poker. With the addition of 1 free attribute point given by the system, he now has accumulated 6 free attribute points.

Looking at the only two single-digit attributes in the attribute column, Lin Yan added 5 attribute points to "Spirit" without hesitation. He hesitated for a while and finally chose to add the other point to "Charm".

The "Spirit" attribute is related to the number of times the Eye of Death is used and the activation time in a day. After more battles, Lin Yan has gradually realized the importance of this attribute.

As for "charm", since the system did not explain it, Lin Yan only realized the trick after he went to Saint Denis.
