Wilderness Redemption Tour

The fundraising task that had given Lin Yan a headache two days ago was solved in just two days, which was something Lin Yan never expected. Although he still owed Arthur and Sadie one thousand yuan (Arthur 500, Sadie 300, and the 280 from the safe, plus the 100 each of them lent him), he could pay it back slowly, after all, making quick money was all about doing things that he thought were a bit unethical. To say that Lin Yan's values ​​were actually quite positive, even in the game, if he wasn't forced to have no other choice, he would still try his best to be a good person.

As they mounted their horses and left, Sadie looked at the still bright sky and asked, "It's still early, shall we go straight back?"

"Let's go to Rhodes. I noticed new wanted posters posted outside the police station yesterday. There were more than one, but I didn't pay much attention to it because the reward was too small."

"I remember the two men who attacked us last night said they were wanted in Lodz. Is that their wanted poster?"

Lin Yan thought for a moment and replied, "There were a lot of wanted posters on the notice board. I only glanced at the bounty and didn't look at the photos. Even if they were on it, there shouldn't be more than just them. I'll be passing by Rhodes on my way back anyway, so it won't be a big deal to stop by and take a look. I've been doing my job for two days, and now I really want to do something just to alleviate the guilt in my heart."

"Haha, you are so humorous..." Sadie was amused by Lin Yan's last sentence, "It seems that you understand the balance between good and evil."

Two weeks ago, the Rhodes Police Department was still controlled by the Gray family. However, since their ambush failed and Arthur and others killed them and escaped through the town, the Gray family was seriously injured. Micah's massacre-style revenge directly made the Gray family history in Lemoyne. After the new sheriff took office, perhaps because he had no clues about the two vicious cases, or perhaps because he was afraid that he would also be targeted by the murderer, he did not launch relevant investigations into the two cases. After all, there were too many vicious assault cases every day in the entire West at that time. There must be dozens of cases if not hundreds. Whether to deal with it or not was entirely up to the sheriff of that area. As long as the security in the area under their jurisdiction was relatively stable, maintaining legal justice was actually just a high-sounding rhetoric.

Even if he was hanging around in front of the Rhodes Police Station, Lin Yan was not worried about being recognized. He was not even indirectly involved in the Rhodes Town Incident and the Gray Family Incident. Even if there were a few "slippery fish" in these two cases who saw him here, they would only regard him and Sadie as two ordinary bounty hunters.

The police station in Rhodes Town is very small, so the bulletin board is placed outside the police station. After arriving at the place, Lin Yan saw at a glance that the bulletin board was covered with a large number of reward posters about Lao Bai and Lao Hei.

The bounty warrants for these two people were somewhat different from those for other people that Lin Yan had captured before. The titles and photos of their bounty warrants alone took up most of the page.

"Fugitive! Wanted! Mr. Black/Mr. White. $20. Caught alive! Escaped from the hard labor squad! Still at large! Attention! Extremely dangerous! Last seen near Rhodes! To claim the reward, contact H. Thomas, Rhodes Sheriff's Office."

The two people had the same description except for their photos and names, but the reward amount was a bit worrying. This was the lowest bounty he had ever seen, and Lin Yan, who had fought with them, felt that adding another zero to the end of this amount was not excessive.

"If they are dangerous elements, why are their bounties so low? Could it be that the prison doesn't want them to go back..." Lin Yan shifted his gaze away from the bounty warrants for these two people and began to search for bounties for others.

After searching around, he found that apart from the bounty warrants for Old Black and Old White, there was only one bounty warrant for Mark Johnson.

"Wanted! $50 reward. Mark Johnson. Arrested for stagecoach and train robberies, evaded capture several years ago and is still on the run. Attention! Must be captured alive! Last seen near Muddy Waters Shores. To claim the reward, contact H. Thomas, Sheriff Rhodes' Office."

"The reward is not much, but he's quite close, and we can finish the job in more than an hour." After thinking for a while, Lin Yan took off the reward order and waved it towards Sadie, "Let's take him. We can catch him and bring him back in time for dinner."

"Can it be so fast? Is he nearby?" Sadie asked puzzledly.

Lin Yan jumped onto the horse, turned the horse's head and said, "It says here that he is hiding near the muddy bank, which is where we went this morning."

"That's quite close." Sadie nodded, followed Lin Yan out of Rhodes, and accelerated towards the muddy shore northeast of Rhodes.

According to the actual location provided by the system, Mark Johnson was not actually on the bank of the muddy water, but at the turning point of the river further upstream. However, it was not too far from the bank of the muddy water, only about five or six minutes' "horse ride".

When approaching the target point, Lin Yan felt that as the distance got closer, the vision in front of him began to gradually blur, just like fog, and the water vapor content in the air was gradually increasing.

Mark Johnson was located in a forest by the Kamassa River. After discovering traces of human activities in the forest, in order not to alert the target, Lin Yan and Sadie dismounted and walked.

In the misty woods, the visibility was no more than 20 meters at this time. Lin Yan took Sadie and carefully followed the footprints on the ground towards the depths of the woods.

As they walked, a dim light of fire appeared in front of their eyes, and at the same time, an unremarkable male voice came into their ears.

"Son, you are growing up now. You need to eat more meat so that you can grow as tall and strong as Uncle Joey."

"And this pot of fish soup, which I made specially for you. You'd better drink it all." This time it was a woman who spoke.

"Dad, Mom, this is too much. I can't finish it." No need to ask, this obviously young voice was spoken by the man's "son."

"It's actually a family of three," Sadie was a little surprised that the wanted criminal actually lived with his family. "Are you sure we want to arrest him in front of his wife and children?"

Lin Yan was also somewhat helpless and said: "That can't be helped. Who made him meet us? Let's just go over there. From what he said just now, he seems to like his son very much. He shouldn't do anything extreme in front of the child."
