Wilderness Redemption Tour

Micah listened for a long time but still didn't hear the solution to the point he was most concerned about, so he couldn't help but interrupt: "I've listened to you all for so long, why didn't anyone mention the most important point? If we want to get on the ship, someone has to lead away the enemies nearby, right? And this job is not something that can be done by one person. It's too obvious to just lead away the enemies on the dock. It's better to have more people to lead away all the enemies on the dock and the station."

This sentence was like a bomb thrown into the crowd. Everyone who was just discussing whether to hide among the piles of cargo or in the cabin after boarding the ship or to directly find the captain and bribe him to help conceal their whereabouts suddenly fell silent.

"Regarding this issue..." Dutch started to draw everyone's attention to himself: "Let's go over and take a look at the specific situation first. If the people over there are as lax as we are here, I think we still have a chance."

The others nodded in agreement.

From the conversation between the two Pinkerton detectives, everyone learned that they didn't have many people at the train station during this time. In addition, it was drizzling, and these people looked quite lazy. The Pinkerton detectives stationed here patrolled around the station every half an hour. Before they finished their patrol, the two couldn't wait to go back to the house to warm themselves by the fire, drink and chat. This was also the reason why everyone dared to stop and discuss things.

Saint Denis is called a city, but it is actually a larger town with a population of only about 10,000 people. The transportation industry is far from being busy enough to require continuous operation, so the train station does not run at night. The reason why Pinkerton still sends people to guard here at night is just a routine, just a formality, and the purpose is to ask the sponsor who issued this mission for more money.

Under Dutch's leadership, the group safely passed through the train station diagonally and arrived at the open-air cargo yard in front of the dock.

This is a rectangular enclosed area, which temporarily stores a lot of goods that have been unloaded from the ship but have not yet been shipped away, as well as goods waiting to be loaded onto the ship.

At the corner of the cargo yard, Lin Yan and others witnessed the detective team on duty at the dock from a fairly close distance.

Compared with the people at the train station, this group of people here is much more miserable. The train station has a place to shelter from the rain, a stove, and wine, but here, let alone a house and a stove, it is hard to find a place to shelter from the wind and rain. Five people in gray raincoats hunched their shoulders and formed a circle. They looked like they had been soaked in the rain for half a night. These five people gathered under the lights on the road leading to the dock. From time to time, they looked up and glanced around. It was very difficult to kill them quietly or bypass them.

Dutch had always chosen a blind spot where the light could not reach him, and this time was no exception. Everyone stood in the shadows at the corner of the cargo yard, looking at the five people who were guarding the entrance to the dock, and fell silent again.

Judging from the situation, it is not feasible to find a shortcut to get around it. If everyone wants to get on the boat smoothly, they can only do as Micah just said.

Being a bait can lead to three outcomes: being caught, escaping temporarily but still trapped in Saint Denis, or escaping Saint Denis successfully. With such tight security, the possibility of escaping Saint Denis is very small, so the fate of the bait is almost self-evident. Being caught and escaping seem to be two completely opposite results, but the final result is the same.

"I'll go lead them away." Charles would have been fine if he hadn't said anything, but when he did, he shocked everyone.

"Oh...Oh my god, Charles, are you serious?" Sean was so shocked that he almost lost his voice. Fortunately, he came to his senses in time and immediately covered his mouth as soon as he uttered a high note.

"Ha! I didn't expect that there would be a selfless hero among our group." Micah said sarcastically.

"Wait, Charles." Dutch, who had already witnessed the arrest of two of his companions today, could not bear to see any more people sacrificed, so he advised: "Let's observe for a while, maybe we can find some loopholes."

"What if we can't find it?" Charles asked back. Without waiting for Dutch's answer, he continued, "No need to wait. The longer we wait, the greater the possibility of something going wrong. With only these few people, I am confident that I can escape from under their noses."

"It's not enough to just lure them away." Micah emphasized his point again, looking like he was getting more aggressive. "If you're the only one, and you lure away the guards in one place, anyone with a discerning eye will know what we're up to. If you want to save the majority, it's best to have another person to cooperate with you. The two of you can join forces to cause a big commotion at the docks and the train station. That way, that guy named Milton won't be able to guess what we're up to. Don't you agree, Dutch?"

Micah also knew that others were dissatisfied with him. In order to divert the hatred, he risked offending Dutch and forced him to his side.

How could Dutch not know about Micah's little trick, but he had to admit that what Micah said this time was indeed very reasonable. Instead of letting Charles take risks alone, it would be better to find a companion for him here. In this matter, two people can play a much greater role than one person. In terms of safety, two people can take care of each other, and the chance of survival is much higher than that of a single person.

Dutch neither admitted nor denied it, he just looked at the familiar faces in front of him with a tangled look. He couldn't and didn't want to personally decide the fate of those people he called family.

Lin Yan was also a little conflicted at this moment. The current situation was obviously a choice question thrown by the system to the player: whether to stay with Charles to experience the subsequent plot of the gang, or to board the ship with Dutch to embark on a new adventure.

If he stayed, he would not worry about being caught by the Pinkerton detectives. Although Charles was usually low-key, he was half Indian and not only could wield all kinds of weapons, but was also good at close combat. Even Micah, who was so crazy, was subdued and severely punished by Charles in the camp. Now he dared not even speak loudly to Charles. With such a fierce man who could be compared to Arthur taking care of him, plus Lin Yan's own lucky attribute, as long as he did not deliberately commit suicide, it would be no problem for the two to escape together.

And there are many benefits to staying. First, he can help Hosea persuade some weak-willed people to leave. After witnessing these people leave, the system may give some benefits. Second, the combat effectiveness of the Van der Linde Gang, which has lost almost all its gunmen, has dropped significantly. If they really encounter any danger, Arthur alone may not be enough. But with him and Charles joining, not to mention direct confrontation, it is still no problem to provide cover for others to take the opportunity to move.
