Wilderness Redemption Tour

"Haha..." People who shared the same feelings as Dutch couldn't help but laugh out loud. In this situation, only a heartless guy like Bill could sleep so soundly.

Javier chuckled, raised his hand and pushed Bill a few times to wake him up: "Don't sleep, Bill, we have to leave."

Although Bill fell asleep, he was not sleeping soundly. Years of military and gang life had taught him the habit of falling asleep as soon as he lay down and waking up when called.

Seeing Bill sitting up, Dutch packed up his equipment, lit another match, and led the way out. Seeing this, the others also stood up and followed.

After opening the door, the light from the street lamps shone into the factory through the windows above the factory, adding a bit of light to the dark factory, and also saving Daqi the step of continuing to use matches for lighting. The windows on the first floor were the same as the ones Lin Yan saw when he came, and they were simply sealed with wooden boards. Everyone went down the fairly sturdy wooden stairs to the first floor, then found a window with unsecured wooden boards, pried them apart, and climbed out one by one.

The factory's location was actually pretty good. Strictly speaking, it was only half a street away from the train station, and the train station was right next to the dock. In other words, the moment everyone stepped into the factory, their escape was already halfway to success.

When they came to the street, Dutch ducked down to avoid the light of the street lamp outside the factory and plunged into a dark alley across the street. Others followed his example and ducked quickly across the street, then hid in the darkness.

Just now, when Daqi was checking the time, Lin Yan also took a look. It was already past midnight. Because this was an abandoned factory, there were not many people coming and going on weekdays, not to mention that it was already midnight, and there was not even a single person on the road. The surroundings were eerily quiet.

In the darkness, Dutch tried to identify the surroundings. When he found that he didn't recognize this place, he scratched his cheek with his fingers and asked in an unnatural tone: "Has anyone of you been here? How do I get to the dock?"

The others looked at each other in confusion, showing awkward expressions. Seeing that no one responded, Lin Yan volunteered, "I know, come with me."

Seeing someone answer, Dutch's face was visibly relieved. "Okay, Jamie will lead the way. Everyone else, follow closely and be careful."

After instructing the others, Dutch stepped forward and patted Lin Yan on the back: "It's up to you from now on, Jamie."

Lin Yan nodded, and then he opened the system map and identified the direction. After finding the right direction, he bent down like he did when he came, avoiding the lights on the road while leading the others to the direction of the train station.

After running for a few minutes, Lin Yan led everyone out of the street where the abandoned factory was located. At the corner, Daqi, who was following Lin Yan, saw the train carriage parked across the road at a glance.

"So we are so close to the train station..." he murmured softly as he suddenly realized.

After crossing the road, Dutch ran a few steps past Lin Yan and was the first to reach the connection between the two train carriages in front.

Lin Yan, who was overtaken by him, saw that he was about to climb up, but his body suddenly stopped moving. After a pause, he tilted his head as if listening to something.

Then, as if confirming something, he turned around and made a gesture of pressing down with both hands to the people behind him, and whispered, "Everyone squat down. I heard someone talking in front. It must be Detective Pinkerton."

Hearing this, everyone immediately slowed down their pace and squatted obediently in the shadow of the carriage in front of them.

"Why don't we go somewhere else?" Sean suggested in a low voice.

"Shh, wait until those people over there go far away." Dutch lowered his voice again.

At this time, the footsteps of the people passing by the opposite side of the carriage were already very obvious. Judging from the footsteps, there should be two people on the opposite side. If the two people were not heard by Daqi in advance while walking and talking, the two groups would have collided with each other. It was also thanks to the fact that the two people had no sense of defense. Not only did they talk while walking, but their voices were not small. From their conversation, everyone knew part of the deployment of personnel at the train station and the dock.

Since the train station was completely open-air, the number of Pinkerton detectives was limited, and they could not conduct all-round surveillance, but all train carriages were inspected every half an hour. Not to mention the trains leaving the station, every passenger had to be checked one by one according to the wanted posters of the Van der Linde gang members. In line with the principle of killing the wrong person rather than letting the person go, even if the person being checked was 70% similar to the person on a wanted poster, he would be detained and wait for the decision of the superior.

Judging from these two aspects, Pinkerton detectives spared no effort in this action, and their determination to capture Dutch was more resolute than ever before.

Let's talk about the dock. Since Dutch could think of escaping by boat, Milton and Ross, who have many years of law enforcement experience, could not imagine it, so the dock was also guarded. However, the dock in St. Denis is not large, and you can get a glimpse of the whole dock at a glance when standing at the entrance, so Pinkerton only stationed a small team at the entrance.

After the two men had completely walked away, Bill, who had a lot to say, couldn't wait to speak: "What should we do, Dutch? From what they said just now, there is a small team guarding the dock. It is almost impossible for us to go there without alerting them."

Dutch pondered for a while before saying quietly, "Apart from taking a boat, the only options are swimming or wading in the swamp."

Bill shook his head like a rattle after hearing this: "The two methods you mentioned are no different from committing suicide. Let's discuss how to get on the ship."

Even Bill knew that other ways were unreliable, so everyone chose to use the ship as a means of escape. Passenger ships were out of the question. Pinkerton detectives checked trains so carefully, so how could they ignore passenger ships? So everyone set their sights on cargo ships.

First, cargo ships are much larger than passenger ships, but the density of people on board is far less than that of passenger ships. Although there are not many people, it has a lot of cargo, and more cargo means it is easier to hide. Secondly, Pinkerton detectives are definitely not as good at checking cargo ships as other means of transportation. The reason is that it is large, and it is inevitable that there will be omissions, so this gives everyone an opportunity to take advantage of it. In addition, it is midnight now, and most people on the ship are asleep. The ship will definitely not leave for a while, and everyone will have plenty of time to find a hiding place after boarding the ship.
