Wilderness Redemption Tour

Chapter 243 Rainy Night

"I also think that Arthur and Hosea would never do this." Charles, who was always taciturn, also expressed his opinion: "Compared to the other people you mentioned, there is absolutely no reason for them to do this."

Except for Dachi McCarrinyan, the others all nodded in agreement, "That's right, they would never do that."

Micah spread his hands and said nonchalantly, "I didn't say it had to be them. Aren't there several other candidates?"

"It can't be Karen. I know her. She would never do such a thing." Sean defended Karen again.

"If you say so, then it's impossible for Ms. Bell. Her personality is very similar to mine. She likes to be straightforward in everything she does and would never plot anything behind the scenes." What Lin Yan didn't expect was that Bill actually defended Ms. Bell.

"Sadi...Mrs. Adler..." Seeing Sean defending Karen and Bill defending Mrs. Bell, Lin Yan wanted to say a few words on Sadie's behalf, but was interrupted by Dutch who had remained silent since a while ago.

Dutch clapped his hands lightly, slowly stood up from the chair, and after scanning the room, he said, "It's too early to discuss this issue now. Doing so will only increase our mutual suspicion and estrangement, which is of no help to the current situation. What we need most now is to trust our companions and work together to escape. If someone is really trying to make trouble, I believe he or she will reveal his tracks sooner or later."

The suspicion raised by Micah was easily suppressed by Dutch. Although Micah did not show any displeasure on his face, Lin Yan could feel that he was becoming more and more gloomy.

Could it be possible that Micah had some purpose in bringing this up?

Based on Lin Yan's understanding of Micah, he found that Micah was very purposeful in his work and was only interested in doing things that would benefit him. Everything he did during these days in the camp deepened Lin Yan's "stereotype" of him.

Therefore, Lin Yan was certain that Micah was not just talking casually this time. He was most likely trying to disintegrate the gang from within and take advantage of other people's suspicion.

You say others are the traitor, but I think the traitor is most likely you... Lin Yan glanced at Micah and made some malicious speculations.

At night, it was drizzling in Saint Denis. Listening to the sound of rain outside the window, Lin Yan, who was squeezed into a small dark room with so many people, felt a sense of desolation. According to his understanding of American history, American cowboy culture gradually declined in the late 19th century. In other words, he is now a witness and experiencer of this history.

Since Lin Yan joined the gang, the gang's situation has been getting worse and worse, but these bad lucks are not caused by him, but the general trend (that is, the plot arrangement). Whether he comes or not, the gang's decline is inevitable. If the plot continues to develop like this, it will be difficult for the Van der Linde Gang to see the sun next year, let alone survive until autumn.

It was thought that after Dutch successfully took revenge, he would lead the gang members to successfully complete this last crime, and then take the stolen money to Tahiti to start a new life, achieving a happy ending for everyone. But now it seems that Lin Yan was too optimistic.

Thinking about it, Lin Yan opened the companion in the system menu again and took a look at Sadie's status. Sadie's whole body in the interface was lifelike, and her physical condition column still showed healthy at this time. According to Lin Yan's understanding of her, if she was arrested like John and Josiah, her physical condition would definitely not be shown as healthy. With her hot temper, it would be difficult for the enemy to capture her without hurting her. So Lin Yan now assumed that Sadie, Mrs. Bell and the other four ladies were fine.

According to Dutch, Lin Yan and his group would have to take a boat away from Lemoyne for a while. During this time, Hexia and Arthur would help look after the camp. If there were any emergencies, there would be "female generals" such as Sadie, Ms. Bell, and Karen to help. As long as they were not discovered by the Pinkerton detectives, there would be no problem waiting until Dutch came back. The only thing was that no one was sure if anyone would leave first during this period.

Thinking of this, Lin Yan recalled the conversation he had with Hosea.

When the camp was just moved to Cape Clemmons, Hosea began to persuade others to leave the gang as soon as possible, especially the newcomer Lin Yan, whom he persuaded earnestly. At that time, Hosea had already seen that their industry was on the decline, and it was better to go out and find a stable job than to stay in the gang and live a life of fear. At that time, Lin Yan remembered that Hosea persuaded many people, and although none of them succeeded in the end, he had already planted the seeds in their hearts.

As Dutch's plans failed again and again, the gang members who once believed in him and trusted him very much gradually calmed down. And now with Dutch's failure again, coupled with the disappearance of him and his gunmen, the remaining gang members may have become disillusioned with the group and left.

But leaving now is not a bad thing. Lin Yan just feels that after all, everyone has known each other for a while, and it would be a bit regrettable if he is not there when the other party leaves.

When this group of people go back, I wonder how many familiar faces they will see.

Although it was completely dark now, Dutch, who was sitting by the window, had no intention of taking any action. In the darkness, only Bill's snoring sounded regularly. The others were either too sleepy or woken up by the sound of raindrops hitting the glass, so they waited for the action at night.

Dutch sat alone by the window, smoking a cigar and quietly admiring the street scene of Saint Denis in the rain. Looking at the flickering red dot in his hand, Lin Yan seemed to understand his inner thoughts. Even Dutch had no idea about tonight's actions.

Dutch smoked three cigars in a row, each as thick as a thumb and nearly ten centimeters long. After finishing the last one, he habitually took out the cigarette box again, opened it, fumbled around, closed it again, and put it back in his arms. Then he took out another thing from his arms, which was his pocket watch.

After lighting a match and checking the time, Dutch put away his pocket watch, stood up, dusted himself off, picked up his hat from the windowsill and put it on.

"It's time, gentlemen." In the room that had returned to darkness, Dutch said as he adjusted his cuffs, "Let's go to the dock to catch a boat and see where it can take us. Also, before we leave, could someone please wake up Bill? His snoring just now made me upset."
