Wilderness Redemption Tour

Chapter 241: Taking Shelter in an Abandoned Factory

Faced with the explosives flying to the rooftop one after another from all directions, even the arrogant Micah stopped shouting. The first explosion almost affected the pocket of money at his feet. Now that Dutch had come up, there was no need for him to cover for him anymore.

Grabbing the precious sack beside him, Micah rushed to Dutch, grabbed Dutch's arm and pulled him up from the ground. "Dutch, those damn bastards are determined to kill us, let's retreat quickly!"

Dutch picked up his hat that had fallen to the ground, brushed off the dirt on his body, and looked at Bill, Javier, and Sean who had fallen to the ground: "How are you guys?"

Bill stood up with a groan, holding his arm with a grimace and muttering, "That was a really strong blow just now. I felt like my arm was almost broken."

"It's just an arm, isn't it?" After Bill got up, Sean, who was pinned down by him, complained with heavy breathing, "If you had kept pinning me down for another half a minute, I would have been crushed to death even if I hadn't been blown up."

Charles was the one who was least affected by the explosion. After seeing Lenny flying down the stairs, he also looked down while holding the baffle. He found that Lenny did not fall down the building and saw Lin Yan rushing to rescue him. He rationally chose to stay and take care of the other injured companions.

He first helped Javier who was knocked down by Bill, and then gently helped Sean who kept rubbing his abdomen, and said, "Lenny almost fell down just now. Now he is hanging outside the railing of the third-floor balcony. Jamie went down to save him."

As they were talking, the second wave of projectiles thrown by the Pinkerton detectives arrived at the "battlefield" one after another. Seeing this, Dutch and others hurriedly rushed back without caring about their image, forcing themselves to distance themselves from these dangerous explosives.

After the explosion, Dutch did not even stand up and hurriedly gave orders: "Charles, Javier, you two go ahead and scout the way. I don't want to stay in this damn place for a moment. Wait for Jamie and Lenny to come up, and we will evacuate from here immediately."

"Yes." Charles and Javier stood up and said in unison.

Lin Yan went down the escalator to the third floor, then climbed over the railing of the public balcony from the outside to the balcony of the house where Lanny lived.

The moment he grabbed Lanny's hand, Lin Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the system did not trip him up in the process, causing Lanny to lose his strength and fall down. According to his understanding, this scene should be Lanny's "death trap". If he hadn't pulled him just now, Lanny would definitely fly farther than he is now, and then he would have no railing to hold on to. The wall of the bank opposite the building is bare, without even a bulge.

After pulling Lanny up, the latter, as his name suggests, collapsed to the ground like a puddle of mud, breathing heavily and letting out a silly laugh as if he had survived a disaster: "Ha...hahaha..."

After laughing for a while, he stood up and thanked Lin Yan shyly: "Thanks, brother, you saved my life."

Lin Yan listened to the explosion sound coming from above again, reached out and pulled Lenny up from the ground, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Hey! It's just a piece of cake. Let's not talk about this for now, let's hurry up, Dutch and the others are still waiting for us at great risk."

After resting for a while, Lenny regained some strength and was still able to move left and right by holding on to the railing. So the two of them quickly returned to the roof along the same route, and then ran to Dutch and others who had moved to another building to avoid the explosions amid the continuous explosions around them.

"You're finally here. If you hadn't come, I would have wanted to persuade Dutch to abandon you." Micah's first words after seeing the two of them deepened Lin Yan's stereotype of him.

Dutch ignored Micah's rude words and actions. He looked at Lenny and asked with concern: "Are you not hurt just now?"

Lenny shook his head, forced a smile and said, "I'm fine, Dutch."

Dutch nodded. "While you were away, I sent Charles and Javier out to explore the way. Now that everyone is here, it's time for us to go. Everyone listen up, we have to keep quiet and keep moving forward, otherwise we will be discovered again soon. Follow me, one by one."

After that, Dutch led the rest of the group to chase after the marks left by Charles and Javier: "Keep going forward, don't make any noise, come on!"

Under Dutch's leadership, the group walked straight and turned, and jumped from one rooftop to another. During this period, the sound of police whistles on the street under their feet never stopped. It seemed that the police were also involved in this arrest operation.

At that time, St. Denis did not have any laws prohibiting illegal construction or private construction. Some rooftops of houses looked like gardens, some looked like piles of debris, and some looked like small living areas. These disorderly and interconnected buildings helped a lot in their escape. After several changes of route, they jumped over a dozen buildings and turned countless corners. It was not until the whistle that followed them completely disappeared and the sign on the roof of the Lemoyne National Bank was no longer visible that Lin Yan and his party met Javier, who had gone out to explore the way ahead, on the roof of a building.

"Javier, what's the situation?" Dutch ran to Javier and asked after calming his breath.

Javier pointed to the building behind him that looked like an abandoned factory. "Charles and I found this on the road. It's an abandoned factory. We just investigated the surrounding area. Now the streets of Saint Denis are full of police and Pinkerton detectives. It is almost impossible to escape. Why don't we rest here first and wait until night to see if there is a chance to sneak out of the city."

"Well, good idea." Dutch nodded and agreed with Javier's proposal.

The windows of the building in front of them were all nailed with wooden boards, except for one window with a gap below it that was only big enough for one person to pass through. Led by Javier, everyone went through the gap one by one, and Javier did not forget to block the gap below with wooden boards.

After entering through the window, everyone was led by Charles who had been waiting there to a relatively clean and empty room next door: "Let's take a break here for a while. I just took a look around downstairs. This is an abandoned textile factory. The surrounding area is relatively quiet and there are not many residents. Those police and detectives should not be able to track us down here."
