Wilderness Redemption Tour

Chapter 164 The Most "Humane" Invention

After lunch, Lin Yan and Sadie only waited for more than ten minutes before a passing carriage came.

Seeing the carriage coming, Lin Yan put on the face mask he had prepared long ago.

Sadie looked at Lin Yan's actions with some confusion, "Didn't the conductor say that the bus would arrive around 2 o'clock? This one shouldn't be it. What are you planning to do so early?"

Lin Yan adjusted the face towel to a comfortable position, and a muffled voice came from behind the face towel, "What if that car passes by in advance? It's better to be prepared in advance!"

Since Lin Yan said so, Sadie didn't say anything more and put on her brown face scarf.

It was not until the carriage approached that Lin Yan saw clearly that it was just an ordinary cargo carriage. In order to avoid the driver's misunderstanding, he and Sadie turned around together, turned their backs to the road and pulled down their face scarves.

"I told you it wasn't true, but you just didn't believe it. To transport such a large cart of contraband liquor, we have to arrange some guards." After the carriage passed by them, Sadie looked at Lin Yan's resentful expression and said with amusement.

"That's not necessarily true." Lin Yan argued: "More people means a bigger target. Isn't this a disguised way of telling others that there are valuables in the car? Maybe someone is specifically looking for such a tough target..."

Sadie didn't say anything, but the big roll of her eyes she gave Lin Yan seemed to say: Go ahead and quibble, I'll never believe you...

The two men waited on the roadside for another ten minutes. During this time, only two passers-by on horseback passed by them. This indirectly showed that the road was not a major traffic artery, which made Lin Yan, who was determined to carry out the robbery, feel a little more relieved.

After waiting for a while, a freight carriage guarded by two people appeared in Lin Yan's sight. There were also two people sitting in the driving seat of the carriage. Judging from their clothes, they were not ordinary people who were professional drivers.

"Here it comes!" Seeing the target appear, Lin Yan perked up, put on a mask, and quickly got into the state.

Mounting their horses and taking out rifles that had not been used for a long time, Lin Yan and Sadie stood side by side at the bridge head, quietly waiting for the carriage to enter the attack range.

In fact, if an ambush is possible, Lin Yan does not want to be exposed to the opponent's sight. Unfortunately, there are swamps all around, and there is not even a decent shelter. He can't lie down in the mud and ambush with his body covered in mud...

It was not until the carriage was fifty meters away from Lin Yan that Lin Yan raised his rifle, opened the Eye of Death, aimed at the "coachman" driving the car and pulled the trigger.

The driver fell down, but the other three reacted very quickly. When they found that the road ahead was blocked, they vigilantly put their hands on the holsters on their waists. When Lin Yan shot, they also pulled out their guns and fired bullets in the direction of Lin Yan.

Lin Yan, who had activated the Eye of Death, fired four shots in a row during this round of shooting, and each shot hit the enemy's vital points. After he fired, Sadie also fired two bullets at the enemy, one hit and one missed. The three enemies who were lucky enough to fire a bullet still played the traditional good virtues of being hostile NPCs, maxing out their outline shooting skills, and not a single shot hit the target.

After getting rid of the four enemies, Lin Yan and Sadie took advantage of the fact that no one was passing by and quickly dragged their bodies aside, emptied their pockets, and took away their weapons. These odds and ends should be able to sell for more than ten yuan in the store. Even a mosquito is meat. Lin Yan is now robbing with the intention of making a living. If no merchant was willing to recycle their clothes, Lin Yan would have wanted to take off their suits, after all, their clothes looked worth more than ten yuan.

Then, Lin Yan drove the truck of illegal liquor to Andrew's yard.

Andrew's eyes widened in surprise when he saw the carriage full of moonshine.

"You are so awesome! So awesome! No wonder that guy Dragic asked you for help." He praised Lin Yan several times in a row. Before that, Lin Yan thought that these science and engineering guys who were engaged in inventions were like Professor Dragic and could not say flattering words.

Lin Yan got out of the car and opened the tailgate. Then he glanced at the excited little man and said simply, "Move it."

"Oh, don't bother. Just leave the car here."

Lin Yan was speechless after hearing the other party's answer. After a moment's silence, he rolled his eyes at the other party and said, "What are you thinking? You only want 100 gallons, then move 100 gallons down, and the rest are mine. Unless you buy them all."

After that, he added: "Before you move, you have to pay me for finding the wine."

Andrew picked up a box of illegal liquor and moved it to the open space in the yard. "Ah...Jamie, do you know what a great thing you have done? I wonder if you have read the report I wrote..."

Lin Yan held the side of the carriage with one hand and put his other hand on his waist. Before he could finish, he interrupted and asked, "Do you want to regret it?"

Andrew put down the second box of wine he was about to take away and tried to change the subject again: "Let me introduce you to my invention first. I guarantee that this is the best invention you have ever seen, my friend."

Lin Yan didn't say anything, but just made a gesture of counting money to him.

Andrew went on as if he hadn't seen it. "I am building an incredibly humane machine that will calm the tortured souls of criminals in a peaceful way, a way that will end the barbarity of public hangings. I call it the electric chair, and it is not my invention alone. You have contributed to it, too. I will put both of our names on the list of inventors. By the way, you haven't told me your last name yet."

Lin Yan hugged his shoulders and just watched him chattering quietly. When the other party ignored his request for money and changed the subject, he knew that the money was probably gone, but fortunately the wine was still there, and if he didn't pay, Lin Yan could just take the wine away, so there was no loss anyway.

When Andrew said that his invention was the electric chair, Lin Yan almost laughed out loud. In his memory, the electric chair had been touted as the most humane execution method in the short decades of use, but from the perspective of later generations, this "torture device" that simply relied on electricity to kill people was precisely the invention that made those death row prisoners die the most painfully.

Seeing that Lin Yan didn't say anything, Andrew continued: "The electric chair, as the name suggests, is an iron chair with electricity running through it. It allows criminals to face the final judgment calmly and peacefully, and is the last dignity that this society leaves for them. This is the progress of human civilization, a great invention that is worthy of being recorded in history..."
