Wilderness Redemption Tour

After Dutch's order was issued, the remaining people in the camp tacitly divided into two teams. Lin Yan, Sadie, Charles, Lenny, Kieran and the uncle stood on Hosea's side, and the remaining members who could fight stood with Dutch.

Seeing Kiran standing in the crowd with a determined look and choosing to protect the gang, not only did Lin Yan show a hint of surprise, but the eyes of others also changed from contempt and disdain to recognition when they looked at him.

"action!"

Following Dutch's order, the crowd gathered in front of Dutch's tent split into four teams and ran to different places at the same time.

On Lin Yan's side, he followed Charles closely and as the vanguard, he was the first to rush to the designated defense line outside the camp.

This line of defense was a natural slope. Hiding behind a tree, Lin Yan didn't need a telescope to clearly see the Pinkerton detectives in uniform black uniforms gathered at the edge of the forest. Lin Yan had seen the leader before. It was Agent Milton who found Arthur last time.

Agent Milton, wearing a bowler hat, looked up at the Van der Linde gang members who were ready in the forest. He adjusted his tie, stepped forward and said, "Let me introduce myself first. I'm Agent Milton from the Pinkerton Detective Agency. Is Dutch van der Linde here? I have a few words to say to him."

Hearing Agent Milton's call, Hosea flashed out from behind the tree, walked to the top of the slope, and said condescendingly: "Sorry, he is on the other side now, just tell me what you want to say."

"You?" Milton glanced at Hosea, and said with his unchanging serious expression, "If I'm not mistaken, you are the second-in-command of the gang, Hosea Matthews. But please forgive me for being frank, the next words are not something you, the second-in-command, can decide. This is a conversation about whether we can resolve the issue peacefully. I think you'd better call Dutch van der Linde over."

Hosea only lowered his head to think for a second, then he made a decisive decision: "It looks like Dutch hasn't started the fight yet. Kieran, go call Dutch over and tell him that the other side's leader wants to talk to him."

"Okay, Mr. Matthews." Kieran responded and ran to the other side.

After giving Kieran the order, Hosea spoke again: "Agent Milton, as you wish, I have sent someone to call the person. Please take your people and wait patiently."

Milton just nodded silently and said nothing.

Ten minutes later, Dutch, with a serious look on his face, stood beside Hosea.

He stared at the figure standing quietly at the edge of the forest, fumbling to take out the cigar box from his vest pocket, and asked casually, "What do you want from me?"

"Ah... Dutch van der Linde." After seeing Dutch, the expression on Agent Milton's face finally changed slightly. Although the change was not large, it proved from the side that he was not a patient with facial paralysis.

"I've been chasing you for so long, and today we finally meet."

Dutch held a lit cigar in his left hand and pointed it at the air. "Excuse me, but are you Pinkerton detectives planning to kill all of us?"

Milton tilted his head and chuckled, "That's not the case. I don't know if you've noticed that America is now a civilized place. We killed all those barbarians, not to allow people like you who have no human dignity and basic morals to stir up trouble. Those days are gone."

"Civilized?" Dutch said with disdain, "I don't know what you mean by civilization. What I know is that there is no civilization at all in this place. All the people I have met are so greedy that they have no sense of shame and only desire."

"And the result is that you can do whatever you want, take whatever you want, kill whomever you want, and then hang the rest?"

After a pause, Milton turned his head and looked at the looming figures behind the trees above, and asked, "Who made you the savior and led these lost souls astray?"

"Mr. Milton, I'm just a person who pursues the truth." Dutch said word by word.

"But to me, you're just a killer who's causing chaos everywhere, Mr. Van der Linde."

Milton changed his tone and continued, "However, I am still willing to give you a chance. We can make a deal. You come with me, and I can let the others live. I will give them three days to leave here, go somewhere else, and live a decent life."

"I don't want to kill all of you, Dutch. It's enough for you to come with me. You can choose for yourself. Do you want to sacrifice yourself so that your companions have a chance to survive, or do you choose to fight to the death with us?"

Milton's plot was ruthless. If Dutch chose to surrender, he would have achieved his goal and minimized the casualties of his own people. If Dutch refused, he would be labeled as selfish. Even if he managed to escape this encirclement, his prestige in the gang would be greatly reduced in the future. If people's hearts were scattered, the gang would soon fall apart.

As a leader with a relatively clear mind, how could Dutch not know what Milton was thinking?

He chuckled, threw the cigar he had only taken a puff of to the ground, raised his hands and said, "Well...it seems that my only choice is to surrender."

As he spoke, he took two steps forward, tilted his head slightly to look at the gang members behind him and said, "Friends, excuse me, I have to go to an appointment."

"Dutch!" Hosea stepped forward, stretched out his right hand, put it on Dutch's shoulder and tried to keep him.

"Dutch!" Charles, Lenny, the uncle and Kieran also came out from behind the trees where they were hiding and looked at Dutch.

Lin Yan, leaning against a tree, thought a lot in an instant.

Dutch is the leader and spiritual symbol of the gang. If he just surrenders and Milton only gives a false promise, the outcome that the leaderless gang members will face may be something Lin Yan does not want to see.

Even if Milton's promise was true, and he would let the others go after Dutch surrendered, after the gang's savings were divided equally, the "breakup fee" of more than one thousand yuan per person would not allow everyone to live the life they wanted.

Only Dutch knows the whereabouts of the huge sum of money hidden in Blackwater Town, and that money may be related to the happy ending of the game!

Thinking of this, Lin Yan flashed out from behind the cover, took a few quick steps and stood directly in front of Dutch.

"Dutch, you can't go with them."

Seeing this, the others also took a few steps forward, lined up in front of Dutch, facing the crowd outside the woods, and gripped their weapons tightly.
