Wilderness Redemption Tour

Chapter 136 "Small Problems"

Just as Lin Yan was blaming himself and feeling sorry for himself, and Sadie walked up to him to comfort him, the conversation between Arthur and John, who had gone to check on Kieran's injuries, brought Lin Yan back from his sorrow.

"Poor Kieran, he was tortured so badly... It seems that the O'Driscoll Gang punishes traitors much more severely than their enemies."

"Okay John, stop standing there and talking nonsense. Come and help. Kieran just fainted temporarily, he's not dead."

"Not dead? Kiran is not dead?" Arthur spoke for a long time before Lin Yan's confused head reacted.

"Yes, he's not dead yet. Look, he's still breathing." In order to prevent Kieran's wound from bleeding profusely, Arthur found a relatively clean piece of cloth and wrapped his eyes completely. He and John were now working together to carry Kieran's body out.

Looking at Kiran whose breathing was still relatively steady, Lin Yan shook his head, and his dizzy mind gradually calmed down.

"John and I will go to the nearest clinic to treat Kieran's injuries. You and Sadie will take care of the others." After saying this, Arthur and John carried the unconscious Kieran out of the cell.

"Huh!" Lin Yan let out a long sigh, releasing most of the sadness that had been pent up in his heart.

"If we had come a minute earlier..." Lin Yan stopped talking halfway. According to the game time, he had been in this world for three weeks, and he had killed dozens of people, if not hundreds. He should have been used to seeing life and death, but when danger came to his companions, Lin Yan realized that his experience was far from enough.

Sadie patted Lin Yan's back with concern and comforted him softly: "Don't blame yourself. We have all done our best in this matter, and the Kiran people are still alive. Besides, it's just an eye. It's not a big deal in the West."

After comforting Lin Yan, Sadie took down a keychain from the wall and said, "I don't know if there are other members of the O'Driscoll Gang here. What we need to do now is to hurry up and rescue the others from here."

As she spoke, she walked to an iron cage and began trying to open the cage door with the key.

By the time she opened both cages, Lin Yan had almost finished his psychological preparation. After all, he had experienced losing his parents, and although it was a long time ago, he had a certain resistance to this.

Seeing that Sadie had released everyone, Lin Yan patted his face, regained his spirit and said: "Come on, let's get out of here quickly."

The two children in the basement were homeless children kidnapped by the O'Driscoll Gang in St. Denis in recent days, and the woman was a ranch girl who had just come to St. Denis to find a job. After taking them out of the pawn shop, Lin Yan originally planned to let them leave on their own, but he didn't expect a bald monk in a monk's robe to find him.

"Brother." The monk in simple clothes called Lin Yan and bowed slightly, saying: "I recognize the lady behind you and the two children. They were all kidnapped here. I have been guarding here for the past few days, hoping that God's messenger will come here one day and save them from the water and fire. It seems that my Lord has noticed his devout believers..."

Lin Yan, the successor of the new era socialism, has always been respectful of religion. At first, when he heard the monk say that he knew the three victims he rescued, he was patient and wanted to see what the other party was up to. Unexpectedly, the other party started talking about his Lord, his God, before saying a few words. Lin Yan was not happy about this. If you want to talk, just talk. Why are you talking to me about your faith? So he interrupted him without any hesitation:

"Stop, stop, stop. Why are you praising your Lord? It was me who saved them, why don't you praise me?"

"Just tell me, what do you want to do?"

The monk was interrupted by him and didn't say the rest of the sentence. However, he was not angry and continued to speak gently: "I see that their steps are unsteady. They must have been hungry for many days. If you trust me, why not let me help you take care of them."

Just as Lin Yan was considering the feasibility of this matter, one of the rescued boys covered his stomach and said weakly: "I know you, you are a servant of the old church on Gaspar Street. I remember they all called you Brother Dawkins."

"Yes, it's me." The monk named Dawkins squatted down, touched the boy's head, and said kindly.

Realizing that this monk was a post-disaster relief worker arranged by the system, Lin Yan confidently handed the three rescued people over to him.

[Ding! Achievement obtained: Qualified rescuer (no hostage died in the process of rescuing Jilan). Congratulations to the player for completing an achievement and obtaining 1 free attribute point. ]

After handing the person over to Brother Dawkins, looking at the achievement pop-up displayed on the system, Lin Yan knew that the mission was officially completed.

Then, he found out the location of the nearest clinic from the other party, and then he and Shadi rushed to the clinic without stopping.

Inside the clinic, Arthur and John sat side by side on a bench opposite the consulting room. Seeing Lin Yan and Sadie come in, Arthur just nodded slightly at them and said, "Kieran is receiving treatment." Then he patted the empty seat next to him, motioning Lin Yan and Sadie to sit down and wait patiently.

"What did the doctor say? How serious is Kiran's injury? Will there be any sequelae after the wound recovers?" After sitting down, Lin Yan asked Arthur in a low voice.

"Don't worry, it's just a 'small problem'." Arthur comforted Lin Yan casually, and then he smiled and joked: "If Jilan decides to be a gunner in the future, this defect is not a defect, but an advantage."

Lin Yan knew that Arthur did this to make him not worry too much, so he curled the corners of his mouth, tried to put on a smile and said: "You are right, compared to being able to survive, his injuries are indeed a small problem."

"It's good that you understand. For us desperate people, survival is more important than anything else. Of course, on certain issues of principle, even if we know that we are not going to face a good result, at that moment, I think we will still give up certain things without hesitation, such as life, dignity, and reputation.

Arthur's words reminded Lin Yan of the martyrs who sacrificed their lives for their ideals that he had read in school books. In peacetime, it was really hard for people of their generation to understand how persistent a group of people were in a thing, a belief, or an ideal, to the extent that they would give up their lives without hesitation. But at this moment, in this world, he felt it from the eyes of Arthur, the original protagonist of the game.
