Wilderness Redemption Tour

"You killed him?" Seeing that Arthur was hesitant to continue speaking, Lin Yan asked curiously.

Arthur's face showed a rare expression of having survived a disaster. "I can't persuade a guy whose brain is already abnormal. But to be honest, this guy was really fast in drawing his gun. If I hadn't been a little faster than him, you might not have seen me."

As he spoke, he took off his hat and showed Lin Yan a burn mark on the brim. "If it was a few years earlier, when he was not yet affected by alcohol, I would definitely not be his opponent."

It was the first time that Lin Yan heard Arthur, the original protagonist of the game, speak so highly of someone. After seeing the bullet marks on Arthur's gambler's hat, he couldn't help but feel that there are always people who are better than you.

That drunkard is even worse than Arthur. I thought that was just a lie made up by the writer...

After digesting this information, Lin Yan asked again: "What happened after that? You beat him to death. Did the writer's plan to write a book also go down the drain?"

"Not really." Arthur chuckled after coming out of that memory, "On the contrary, he was quite happy."

"Ah?" The person he was writing the book for died, but the writer named Levin was not angry at all. He was actually very happy. Lin Yan was a little confused.

"A living legend is not a true legend. Only death can make his legendary experience more perfect." These are the guy's original words.

"He was happy because he could finally leave the West and return to the civilized world to concentrate on writing this novel. When Calloway was around, he was always worried that the drunkard would suddenly go crazy and shoot him. Now that Calloway is dead, he feels relieved."

"I hope he can finish writing this book soon, so you can get the royalties."

"I think so."

Professor Dragic's laboratory was located at the northernmost part of the map, much further away than Annesburg. Lin Yan spent almost the entire afternoon on the road. He finally understood why Professor Dragic was so eager to eat lunch. Even if he had eaten in advance, he had digested most of the food after the bumpy journey. He didn't know what others thought.

Lin Yan didn't understand why he built the laboratory in such a remote place, so he found an opportunity to ask: "Professor, why is your laboratory so far away from Saint Denis? Can't you find a place near Saint Denis like your colleague did?"

"There's not enough electricity in other places. Even if there is, the huge electricity bill is not something I can afford." Professor Dragic replied while driving: "I discovered that place by accident. The advantage is that there is plenty of electricity and it's completely free. But the disadvantage is also quite obvious, which is that it's a bit humid. Uh... quite humid."

A place with plenty of electricity but humid... Professor Dragic's words reminded Lin Yan of hydroelectric power. Through the map, he saw that Dover Hill, where the laboratory was located, was near the upper reaches of the Kamassa River, especially there was a waterfall there - Brandy Falls. So he did not continue to ask questions about this issue, but took it for granted that Professor Dragic had built a small power generation device on the Kamassa River.

As the team passed through Annesburg, Professor Dragic stopped the carriage in front of a grocery store.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you, it rains a lot near Dover Hill. I suggest you buy a raincoat."

Speaking of rain, Lin Yan realized that he had never seen a rainy day since he came to this world. Even when the gang members besieged Braithwaite Manor, the sky was full of dark clouds but there was only thunder but no rain.

"No, that thing is heavy and in the way. It affects our activities. I don't need it." Arthur waved his hand, rejecting Professor Dragic's suggestion.

Lin Yan, who didn't like rainy days, heard that the place he was going to had a lot of rain, so he immediately ran to the grocery store and bought two raincoats for him and Sadie. It would be more appropriate to say that he exchanged rather than bought. Lin Yan, whose savings had dropped to double digits, exchanged the items in his backpack that he didn't need with the grocery store owner.

The grocery store owner placed two raincoats on the counter. Lin Yan could feel the weight of the two raincoats just by the sound of the raincoats hitting the counter. He held the raincoats in his hands and weighed them. He conservatively estimated that the weight of a raincoat was definitely not less than ten kilograms.

"Is there no lighter one?" Lin Yan was not very familiar with some of the technologies of this era, so he tried to ask.

The skinny grocery store owner shook his head. "I did buy a batch of the new model before, but the price was too high and the miners here didn't even look at it, so I returned them all. Now I only have this one."

"Okay then, this is it." Seeing that there was no other choice, Lin Yan could only accept this result.

As he was leaving the grocery store with the raincoat in his arms, Lin Yan touched the material of the raincoat and muttered to himself, "No wonder Arthur doesn't like to wear it. Wearing this thing is no different from wearing a suit of armor..."

After giving a raincoat to Sadie, they rode their horses and set off again. After wading through a shallow ford in the Kamassa River and walking north for about a quarter of an hour, the originally clear sky suddenly darkened. Before they knew it, large black clouds had covered the tops of their heads. Although the rumbling thunder didn't sound loud, it gave people an extremely depressing feeling.

"I knew it..." Professor Dragic looked up at the dark clouds above and muttered, then pulled out a raincoat of the same type as the one in Lin Yan's hand from under his seat and put it on.

Lin Yan and Sadie saw that the professor, a "local", was fully armed, so they also put on the thick raincoats in their hands. Only Arthur seemed to have seen nothing and still looked calm.

Lin Yan had just put on his raincoat when the expected heavy rain arrived as expected, and everyone's already dim vision became even more blurred.

"Follow me, we'll be there soon." Although Professor Dragic was shouting at the top of his lungs, his voice still sounded a little unclear amid the sound of the rain and the wind.

In Lin Yan's sight, the carriage next to them suddenly accelerated and rushed forward. Lin Yan and the other two kicked the horses' bellies one after another and followed closely behind the carriage.

After running for less than ten minutes, the leading carriage slowly slowed down and finally brought everyone under an awning that was windy on all sides but had good rain-blocking performance.

One side of this awning is against the wall. Although the overall area is not large, in addition to accommodating the carriage, the remaining space is more than enough for three horses to stand.

"We're here." After parking the carriage, Professor Dragic took off his raincoat and casually put it on the top of the carriage. Then he jumped off the carriage, walked to the only wooden door on the wall, opened the door and gestured to Lin Yan and others to come in. "Welcome to the new world."
