Wilderness Redemption Tour

Things turned out just as they had guessed. Under the "brutal law enforcement" of the Saint Denis police and Pinkerton detectives, the American people who advocate freedom and democracy took up guns, united against the common enemy, and worked together to resist this group of dictator-like law enforcement officers.

At around nine o'clock last night, the longest queue at the three entrances and exits was five miles away, and the waiting time was an astonishing six hours. Why? Because after two busy days, the police and Pinkerton detectives finally realized a problem, that is, their existing manpower was completely insufficient to cope with the endless guarding and patrolling. After realizing this, they first transferred the patrol personnel in the city to the stations, docks and various entrances and exits, and then changed the original two-shift staff to three-shift staff when internal personnel began to complain about insufficient rest time.

The police and Pinkerton are two different organizations. They only cooperated temporarily with the help of some powerful people because of the same goal. But they are still in charge of their own affairs. They only communicated briefly beforehand about any tasks, and there was no tacit understanding in the tasks. After two days of "running-in", both sides complained that the other side did too little work and hoped that the other side could do more. So in the arrangement of the three-shift staff, both sides arranged their main force in the daytime, so the scene last night appeared - the queues in and out of the city were very long, but the number of staff was far less than that in the daytime.

Some people who couldn't wait saw that there were not many managers, so they secretly discussed whether to rush in. This kind of thing is most taboo when someone takes the lead, because once someone takes the lead, followers and imitators will appear continuously, and the news will spread from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred, and finally it will get out of control.

In fact, it was only a matter of time before the two sides came into conflict, but the insufficient number of managers last night brought this process forward.

There was a fierce gunfight between the two sides of the conflict. No one was sure which entrance or exit was the first to clash, but the final result was almost the same. Facing an "enemy" that was dozens of times larger than their own, the police and detectives on duty at the three entrances and exits last night were beaten without any chance to fight back, and countless people were killed and injured. Faced with such a result, the mayor of Saint-Denis, Henry Lemieux, urgently ordered the police chief to stop this ridiculous arrest method and called on the general public to exercise restraint. At the same time, the group of Pinkerton detectives who suddenly appeared and seemed to be everywhere also quietly disappeared without a trace.

Lin Yan's heart was filled with emotion as he listened to this. This turn of events, which was like a stage play, was beyond his expectations. He had thought that the detectives and police officers led by Milton would retreat and give up voluntarily, but he did not expect that the other party would retreat in such a frustrating way.

That night, after finishing their last meal at Andres's place, Lin Yan and Charles said goodbye to Andres' family. Under the cover of darkness, the two first stole two horses, and then ran away from Saint Denis in a swagger.

Before leaving, Lin Yan certainly did not forget to pay for the board and lodging expenses for the past few days, and even paid a little extra. Andres had taken a certain risk when he chose to help them, so it was only natural to give him more money. It was not easy for the other family either.

After leaving Saint Denis, Lin Yan and Charles started the racing mode. They shortened the journey that originally took more than an hour to more than 40 minutes.

Entering the manor where the camp was located, Lin Yan saw that the entire camp was dark, without any light. It was still early, and those who were still in the camp should not have gone to bed. Could it be that they had moved away? The two were looking at the dark camp in confusion when they saw two fully armed black shadows suddenly rush out from behind them, pulling the bolts of their guns and aiming at Lin Yan and Charles who were still riding on horses.

"Sorry, there's someone here already." A familiar voice sounded from behind the two of them.

"Arthur, it's us, Charles and Jamie." Charles seemed to have expected this situation. As soon as the man finished speaking, he gave his own name and Lin Yan's name.

"Charles? Jamie?" Another somewhat old voice sounded from behind the two of them, and Lin Yan recognized it as Hosea's voice.

"It's us." Lin Yan also said with a smile. Hosea's tone was full of energy, and he didn't sound like he was injured. It seemed that Lin Yan's rescue operation was quite successful.

"Oh, thank God, I'm so glad to see you're all right." Hosea lowered his gun, his tone clearly filled with happiness.

After the conversation between the four people spread into the pitch-black camp, the camp, which had been silent just now, immediately became lively, and several figures walked quickly towards this direction.

"Why are there only two of you? Where are Dutch and the others?" Arthur also put away his gun, walked to Lin Yan and asked.

"Dutch took the rest of the people and left by boat. I don't know where they went." Lin Yan jumped off the horse. "Charles and I stayed in Saint Denis to cover them getting on the ship."

After talking about the whereabouts of Dutch and others, Lin Yan was just about to ask Arthur, Sadie and the other four ladies whether they had returned, when he saw a group of people led by Sadie surrounding them, including Mrs. Bell, Karen and Tilly.

"Jamie? Charles? You escaped?"

"Where are the others? Why didn't Sean come back with you?"

"You two aren't hurt, are you?"

"Have you eaten yet? There's still some stew in the pot from the evening."

A group of people surrounded Lin Yan and his friends, talking non-stop.

"Everyone, don't gather here." Hosea clapped his hands and signaled him to speak first. "Let's go in first and let them catch their breath. Kieran, light the fire again so that there will be some light in the camp."

After Dutch left, Hosea became the boss here. As soon as he spoke, everyone retreated back to the camp. Kieran responded and went to make a fire in the dark.

Hosea and Lin Yan walked side by side towards the camp, and asked with concern: "Have you eaten? How have you been these days? Is it very hard?"

"Uh..." Lin Yan scratched his head: "To be honest...it wasn't that hard, and we came here after dinner."

After Kieran lit the bonfire again and the camp regained some light, Lin Yan and Charles sat at the square table in the middle of the camp, looking at the familiar faces around them, and told everyone present exactly what had happened in the past few days.
