Wilderness Redemption Tour

After drinking the water, Jilan licked his lips with satisfaction. Then he said, "I have told your people a long time ago that I am just a peripheral member. They won't tell me anything, and I don't know anything. I just hung out with them for a while, and I don't even have any friends there."

Sadie looked at him coldly and said, "Go on."

"What else do you want me to say? I've said everything I need to say. Now I really have nothing else to say." Kiran explained in a trembling voice.

Sadie's eyes moved around him in a scrutinizing manner, and she said coldly, "Tell me where you want me to start. Left hand? Or right hand? Left foot? Or right foot?"

After hearing this, Jilan pleaded with a sad face: "Madam, please forgive me, I really don't know anything."

Sadie ignored him and went straight to pick up the axe used to chop wood in the camp.

John and Pearson, who were chatting nearby, saw what Sadie was doing and hurriedly stopped her and said, "Wow, ma'am, what are you doing?"

"What? Isn't it obvious? I'm trying to get him to tell me where their boss is hiding." After saying this, Sadie was about to get rid of the two people's obstruction.

"Ma'am, I think you should not be too impulsive. It's best to wait for Dutch to come back. You are not the only one who wants to know where Colm is hiding."

"That's right. Many people haven't returned yet. Even if you ask them, you can't catch Colm by yourself." Pearson also echoed.

"Get out of the way. I don't want to hurt you. This is a private matter between me and the O'Driscoll Gang." Sadie suppressed the anger in her heart and spoke as calmly as possible.

Pearson was frightened by her eyes and took a half step back, but John did not give in and said, "Your impulsiveness will disrupt Dutch's operation. I can't let you go."

Just when Sadie was about to explode, Lin Yan couldn't bear it anymore. He walked over to Sadie, leaned close to her ear and said to her, "Wait a minute, I'll persuade John, trust me."

Sadie tried to suppress her anger, nodded reluctantly, and then found a place to sit down. Lin Yan pulled John, who looked ready to die, aside and introduced himself, "Hello, I'm Jamie Custer..."

Before Lin Yan finished speaking, John said to himself: "John Marston, you don't have to say anything, I know you. My face is injured, but my ears are not deaf. Tell me, do you want to persuade me not to care about this matter?"

Lin Yan nodded.

"So you have a hand in this matter? I didn't expect you two new members to be so brave. It seems like the gang has really found a treasure this time. But listen carefully, kid. This matter is not just about you two. Our entire gang has a grudge against Colm. Even if we want to take revenge, we need Dutch's consent."

"John, I don't think you understand yet. Mrs. Adler has been blinded by hatred. She is now like an angry lioness who can hurt anyone who gets close to her at any time. Only when she vents her anger thoroughly will the people around her be safe. You don't want to see the camp lose a few members when Dutch and the others come back. Oh, relax, I'm not threatening you, but explaining the pros and cons to you. Find out where Colm is hiding. Even if we can't kill him, we can temporarily eliminate Mrs. Adler as a security threat. As for Dutch, we can try to capture him alive then."

"You want to capture Colm? It seems that you are very confident in your skills. Well, you can torture him, but just scare him, no need to do anything serious. If he says anything, I will go with you later."

"Are you okay?" Lin Yan asked, looking at the two hideous wounds on John's face. He didn't want to bring a burden with him. If John's old injury relapsed, he and Sadie would have to take care of him.

"It's no problem. In fact, it hasn't been a problem for a long time. I just want to rest for two more days."

"Deal, the three of us will be together later."

After discussing with John, Lin Yan returned to Sadie and simply said, "It's solved." After hearing this, Sadie stood up again with the long axe, holding the axe handle with both hands, and walked towards Kiran who was tied to the tree step by step in silence.

"Don't come over here, don't come over here... Hey, aren't you going to stop her?" Kieran begged for mercy while asking for help from John and Pearson who were standing on the other side. But to his despair, no one paid any attention to him.

Sadie walked up to Kiran, bent down, and used the axe blade to measure the position of his left foot, then swung the axe back, ready to chop down.

"Okay! Okay! Listen to me, you crazy woman. I know a hiding place of Colm O'Driscoll. It's at Six O'Clock Cabin. If you want to go, let me go and I'll take you there. Don't worry, I won't run away again. If you don't believe me, you can tie my hands."

Sadie dropped the axe and looked at Lin Yan. Lin Yan also turned to look at John, then he picked up the kitchen knife on Pearson's table, walked over and cut the ropes that bound Kieran's hands and feet, and said, "I hope you behave like you said. If I find that you are not disciplined at all, I will immediately shoot you in the head."

Kieran rubbed his wrist, which had been tied up for several days and was almost numb, and said, "I don't want to join any gang, but if I don't join, how can I eat?"

"Okay, stop talking so much. You lead the way to the six o'clock cabin you mentioned." John pushed Kieran and said.

"Don't worry, I've been tied to this tree for four days. Let me move around a little. My hands and feet are almost numb."

"You just do whatever I tell you to do, otherwise I don't mind making your hands and feet really numb." Sadie couldn't stand it and immediately threatened.

Kiran took two steps back in fear and said, "Okay, okay, let's go now." After that, he walked straight to where the horses were tied.

John first let Kieran ride on his horse, and after he got on the horse, he took out a rope and tied Kieran's hands again. Just as the four were about to set off, Arthur rode back to the camp.

Arthur saw the four men on horseback. He first glanced at Kieran, who was sitting in front of John with his hands tied, then looked at John behind him and said, "John, are you okay?"

"Ah, you probably won't believe me when I say I'm as strong as a bull, but I'm really fine now." John said with a laugh.

"Where are you going with this prisoner? It's almost dark."

Sadie rode forward and said, "I found out the location of their leader Colm. Now he will lead the way and we are going to capture him. If you want to go, follow us. If you want to stop us, let's take a rest."

Arthur sighed, looked at Kieran and asked, "Where's Colm?"

"The Six O'Clock Cabin is in the mountains behind Valentine. I'll take you to find it. When we get there, I'll show you the exact location. But I don't know where we are now. That place is north of Valentine."

"Then I will lead the way first, and you can lead the way in front when we reach Valentine. John, if he shows any abnormal behavior, kill him." Arthur instructed John, then turned his horse around and left the Horseshoe Lookout again.

"Who would have thought that I would be riding on the same horse with the O'Driscoll gang?" John sighed.

"Hey, I'm not from the O'Driscoll gang, I just said that."

"You look like, smell like...oh shit, you smell like, too."

"Really? Why do I smell like horse manure?"

"John, are you really okay?"

"Yes, except that the wound on my face is still a little itchy. I was actually able to move a few days ago, but Abigail wouldn't let me get out of bed, and you know I can't reason with him."

"Oh, yes. We can't reason with women. But John, next time we are being hunted, you should not use women as a shield."

Just as Arthur and John were arguing with each other, Kieran suddenly shouted, "Hey, I remember this, now let me lead the way, I will do my best to take you to find Colm, I mean what I say."

"We'll go straight along this road first, then turn left after we pass the railway tracks ahead."

"Those are the mountains. That's the direction we're going."

"You know, based on my observations these days, you and the O'Driscoll Gang are very similar in nature."

John was not happy with Kieran's comparison between the O'Driscolls and the Van der Linde gangs, and said angrily, "What did you say?"

"I've been watching you all those days when we were trapped in the snowy mountains of Ambarino State and when you tied me to a tree in the camp. And I know the O'Driscoll Gang better than you know them."

"So how are we like those bastards? Or are you just calling us bastards in disguise?"

"I don't mean to insult you. As far as I know, you are just as desperate as them. You are just trying to survive, and you are just as hard-working. You fight against the law and nature. You are all fighting for yourselves."

"I think you still don't know me well enough. Colm is a complete thief and murderer, purely for himself. And Dutch, he is more like a mentor. He guides us and wants us to live a better life, so that we can get rid of the identity of robbers as soon as possible."

"In my opinion, they are really no different..."

"Okay, Kieran, stop your stupid analysis." Arthur interrupted Kieran. "Are you sure Colm is here?"

"Uh... As far as I know, this is the only hiding place for Colm. As for whether he is here today, I'm not sure."

Arthur thought back to the fight with the O'Driscoll gang over the years and sighed, "If he were really here, we could completely end the fight over the years and avoid a lot of unnecessary losses."

"That's what I thought, too." Kieran said. After seeing another fork in the road ahead, he stretched out his bound hands, pointed to the left and said, "Let's go down the mountain from the left and then enter the forest. When we get close, we'll dismount and walk. This place is very hidden. Colm used to only arrange gunmen around during the day, so we should be able to sneak through easily at night, but I still suggest you bring a dagger, in case Colm becomes timid and arranges sentries, you must first use the dagger to quietly get rid of them. Be quiet, as soon as there is a gunshot, Colm will definitely run away at the first opportunity."

"John, Sadie, do you all have daggers?" Arthur asked.

"I brought it."

"I don't have that." They both said at the same time.

When Arthur heard Sadie say no, he took out a small knife wrapped in a leather sheath from his saddle bag and said to Sadie, "I have a skinning knife here. You can use it first."

Sadie took the knife that Arthur handed over, said nothing, and put it away silently.

Arthur then assigned tasks to everyone, saying, "We will sneak in quietly, and if we see any enemies on sentry duty, we will quietly kill them with daggers. Once we act, we must be as fast as possible and try to get to the heart of the matter. John, Sadie and I will go through the front door, and you will go in through the back door. Jamie will be responsible for watching over Kieran, and by the way, guarding the windows to prevent people in the house from escaping through the windows."

Sadie glanced at Lin Yan, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated, and finally did not say anything.

Lin Yan knew that Sadie wanted to arrange him to be among the people who broke into the wooden house, but in the end, for some reason, she did not say it out loud.

The visibility on the road at night was limited, and on an open road, Jilan could still rely on the moonlight to determine which way to go. But after entering the woods, the moonlight was dim, and he had to reconfirm the direction after walking for a while, so he walked very slowly.

"We should be almost there after passing through this bush." ​​After more than an hour of searching in the forest, Kiran finally determined the final destination.

"It's this hillside. The Six O'Clock Cabin is on the other side of the hillside. I suggest you leave the horses in the open space over there." Kiran pointed to a small open space next to him.

"Okay, everyone get off your horses here and let's go," Arthur ordered.

Several people dismounted at the same time, silently took their equipment, and walked to Kieran. "Keep leading the way, remember, don't play tricks." Arthur said.

"No, I care about my life very much." Kiran defended himself and then walked towards the light sources at the bottom of the hill.

Perhaps Kieran's analysis was correct, there were indeed a few people holding lanterns and keeping watch around the wooden house. Under his leadership, the others came to the outside of the sentry range of these people. Arthur asked everyone to lie down and said, "Using the wooden house as the boundary, Sadie and I will deal with the enemies on the left, John, you go and deal with the ones on the right."

When Arthur was describing the battle plan, Lin Yan, with a forced smile on his face, muttered in his mind: These hostile NPCs are hilarious, holding lights and keeping watch in the middle of the night, which makes it easy for assassins to kill them all.

"Jamie, from now on you keep an eye on Kieran. If he runs away or reports the news, you know what to do." Arthur turned to Lin Yan and said.

"No problem, don't worry." Lin Yan replied hurriedly.

"Are you all ready? It depends on us whether we can catch Colm." Arthur asked in a low voice.

Everyone nodded except Kiran.

"Okay, act now!"
