Wilderness Redemption Tour

"Phew, I'm so glad you didn't listen to me, otherwise part of our body would appear in here. I don't want to die like this." John, who witnessed this scene, wiped the non-existent cold sweat from his forehead and joked about himself.

Lin Yan and John did not return to the bridge until the train left the bridge.

After the sun completely set, moonlight replaced sunlight and became the only light source. Under the moonlight, even an ordinary person like John could vaguely see the road under his feet.

This level of darkness had no effect on Lin Yan. He walked beside John as if walking on flat ground, watching him bend over and walk backwards to guide the lead wire out of the lead shaft bit by bit.

After taking a few steps back, John seemed to have thought of something and said to Lin Yan, "Let's get some light out. There's no danger now."

"Oh, okay." Lin Yan responded and took out an oil lamp from the space bag and lit it.

The light dispelled the darkness nearby, and after seeing the road clearly, John moved faster.

John retreated to the side of the carriage, stopped what he was doing, cut the fuse, then took the detonator from the carriage and connected the fuse with the light of the kerosene lamp.

"Okay, it's done." John patted the dust off his hands and said to Lin Yan, "I think the wires are all connected. Do you want to detonate it?"

"Can I?" Hearing John inviting him to do it, Lin Yan was a little excited for a moment. He had set off firecrackers and used explosives before, but this giant "firework" made of hundreds of kilograms of gunpowder was his first time to touch.

"Of course." John said with a smile, "Just press the detonator, and you will be able to enjoy the most shocking explosion scene in your life. To be honest, I am also looking forward to this scene. This is the first time I have seen such a large-scale explosion scene."

"Okay." Lin Yan didn't be polite to John. He put the oil lamp in his hand on the carriage, then walked forward, squatted down, and held the handle of the detonator.

Looking directly at the bridge not far away, Lin Yan gently pressed the handle of the detonator.

One second, two seconds, until Lin Yan silently counted to the fourth second, a ball of orange-red fire appeared without warning one-third of the way to the right of the bridge. The next moment, another ball of fire of the same color was generated not far to the left of the previous ball of fire. At this time, the explosion that created the first ball of fire also reached Lin Yan's ears. Because of the distance, Lin Yan did not feel how deafening the explosion was. Instead, it was weaker than the thunder of Dover Hill on a rainy day in his memory.

As the third and fourth flames rose into the air, the flames from the explosion had already covered more than half of the bridge deck. These flames came quickly and disappeared quickly. After consuming the energy of several barrels of explosives, the flames disappeared as quietly as they were created, leaving only a few thumb-sized flames still burning tenaciously on the remaining bridge deck.

The gusts of wind caused by the explosion made Lin Yan feel a strong breeze on his face for a moment. When his vision, hearing, and touch returned to normal, he saw that the bridge that had been intact just now had a gap of about 30 meters long blown out in it.

Sniffing the smell of gunpowder carried by the air wave, John lit a cigarette, took a puff, blew out a smoke ring and said, "Okay, I guess this result should satisfy Dutch's wish."

"That's absolutely true." Lin Yan said with certainty.

"Do you really think we have a chance of winning if we do this?" John asked.

"Anyway, I don't think it's very meaningful." Lin Yan told the truth.

"I feel the same way." John nodded in agreement. "To be honest, I'm not sure I fully understand Dutch's plan."

"Indeed. Dutch had always told us the purpose of the plan and the details of the mission before, but this time we have no idea what Dutch's ultimate goal is. We also have to take the mission one step at a time. We don't even know when the next step will start or what needs to be done. This time, I feel that Dutch is just messing around for the sake of messing around. He does whatever he thinks of."

"Don't think about these things." John finished smoking and sat back in the carriage. "Dutch would not do something without a purpose. He must have his own reasons for doing this. These are not what we need to worry about. We just need to do what he asks us to do."

Lin Yan put away the lantern, sat next to John and asked him: "Have you ever thought about the possible consequences of Dutch's plan?"

"Of course I have thought about it," John replied. "But for people like us who live with our heads on the line, we are used to it. In the West, hundreds of people die every day for different reasons. Death is a problem that people living in this area face every day. As long as it's not a meaningless death, I don't think it's a big deal."

"..." John's answer made Lin Yan speechless. Although he could start with John's wife and children to make him understand the importance of life, he was still not sure he could convince him. Instead of wasting more words, it would be better to give this difficult task to Arthur, who knew John best.

"Where are we going?" Lin Yan was so busy talking that he realized that John was not going back to the camp.

John said without looking away, "It's already so late. There's no point in rushing back overnight. We might as well find a place to sleep for the night. This place is not far from the Wapiti Reservation. When it gets light, we can go meet Dutch and feel out his reaction before going back."

"Okay, this is not bad." Lin Yan touched his belly and agreed to John's suggestion.

After walking for a while, Lin Yan realized that John had no intention of stopping, so he asked him, "Where are you going to rest?"

John replied: "It's still early now. I plan to find an empty house. If I can't find one, I will consider sleeping in a tent."

Now that the Bucks Bridge has been blown up by Lin Yan and his team, there is only one way to go to the Wapiti Reservation. That is to go north from Bucks Station, climb more than 100 meters, cross the Dakota River through the Dona Falls upstream of the Dakota River, and then arrive at the Wapiti Reservation.

Opening the map, Lin Yan discovered that the road they were taking now was the road to Dona Falls. Near Dona Falls, Lin Yan saw a place marked on the map with the name "Aberdeen Pig Farm".

After wandering around in this world for so long, Lin Yan also summed up some tricks from the system map. He knew that some places marked with unique place names on the map might be long-abandoned houses, so when he saw the Aberdeen pig farm, his first reaction was that that might be where they would stay tonight.
