Wilderness Redemption Tour

"Raise your hands, everyone!"

A sharp shout from above interrupted Lin Yan's thoughts. The three people who heard the voice raised their heads and looked diagonally upwards at the same time.

At the edge of the top rock, a man who looked like an officer was standing there straight, holding a gun in one hand, and looking at the three people who were at the end of their rope below with a stern expression.

Behind him, there were several ordinary soldiers standing ready with guns. Once Lin Yan and his men made any dangerous moves, these people would pull the trigger without hesitation.

"I'll say it one last time! Put your fucking hands up!" The officer still had a bad temper. Seeing that Lin Yan and the others were unmoved, he suppressed his anger and repeated it again.

Lin Yan and John looked at Dutch at the same time. Now that they were surrounded, whether to fight or surrender depended on Dutch's words. Although they were trapped on this platform because of Dutch's command error, now was not the time for internal strife, and the key decision still had to be made by Dutch, the leader.

"Okay, okay..." Dutch said as he slowly raised his arms, indicating that he had no intention of resisting. Seeing Dutch's actions, Lin Yan and John also raised their hands.

"Come here, I have a new plan, a good plan." He looked at the crowd above, his mouth still covered with the mask, but he told Lin Yan John that he had come up with a plan.

"What's the plan?" John asked.

Dutch did not continue to talk about the details of the plan, but turned his attention to the soldiers above.

"Hello, officers." He greeted with a smile to the soldiers who surrounded the three people.

The other party ignored him, and the officer ordered them: "Drop your guns and climb up obediently."

"Hello, Captain." Dutch greeted the officer alone.

The answer I got was the same: "Drop your gun and climb up obediently."

"Sorry, we...we can't do this." Dutch said as he slowly retreated: "Your people...the people you just killed...they were all good people. You are fighting against nature, Captain."

Seeing the three people below retreating further and further under the leadership of Dutch, the officer shouted again: "Stop! Come here!"

Dutch didn't listen to him and move forward, but he didn't move back either. Now the three of them have retreated to the edge of the boulder. If they take another three or five steps, they will fall down. Dutch stopped and continued, "You can ask my friends. I have been fighting against change all my life. Now I understand that it is all in vain. It is all in vain... Man cannot fight against nature, Captain. You can't fight against change, and you can't fight against... gravity."

The officer was completely furious after hearing Dutch's nonsense. He stepped forward, puffed his beard and glared at him, "What the hell are you talking about? I told you to come here! Climb up right now!"

As early as Dutch began to retreat, Lin Yan and John understood what Dutch's so-called plan was. Thinking of jumping off the cliff, Lin Yan couldn't help but feel uneasy. He just found an opportunity to look down. According to his visual observation, this platform is at least ten stories high from the ground, which is more than 30 meters. Although there is no solid ground below, but rushing river water, this is a naked jump without any protection. If you jump off the right side or fall into the water in the wrong posture, you will probably fall even if you don't die.

John's performance was even worse than Lin Yan's. After realizing that he would jump down from here, John's legs began to tremble. He even began to beg him in a low voice while Dutch was speaking.

"Dutch, have you forgotten that I can't swim..."

"Why don't we fight them? They don't have many people, and we can win if we fight..."

"Dutch...Dutch..."

John said a lot, and even brought up little Jack in the end, but Daqi was only concerned with expressing his feelings about his life, and completely ignored John's pleading. John, who sounded like he was about to cry, had no choice but to ask Lin Yan, "Jamie, when you jump from here to the river below, if you still have the energy left, please take care of me. I know you can swim, and you're pretty good..."

In fact, Lin Yan had known for a long time that John couldn't swim. When they first moved to Cape Clemens, Lin Yan had seen Arthur teasing John about this, asking John if he would be afraid of living near the water. John had argued with Arthur at that time, saying that he just couldn't swim, not that he had aquaphobia. He wouldn't be afraid of living near the water, let alone living on the water.

Even if John didn't ask Lin Yan for help, Lin Yan would not stand by and watch him die for the sake of the mission, not to mention that John asked for help.

Lin Yan tilted his head slightly, raised his hand and patted John's arm, and said to him in a steady tone: "Don't worry, I will take care of you if I can."

Lin Yan didn't finish his words, because no one could tell what would happen after he fell into the water. He didn't dare to guarantee anything to John, so he could only use these words to calm John down first.

Lin Yan's words sounded like a life-saving straw to John, and what he had to do now was to hold on to it tightly. So when Dutch finished speaking, John grabbed the corner of Lin Yan's shirt in front of everyone's eyes.

“Hey, you…” Before Lin Yan could finish, John dragged Lin Yan back and said to Dutch, “Dutch, Jamie and I are ready, let’s jump!”

"Are you fucking done talking? Also, what are those two guys back there doing? Stop and don't move! If you don't come up I'm going to shoot!" The officer had had enough of Dutch's chatter, and John and Lin Yan's little actions had worn out his last bit of patience. So, unable to bear it any longer, he shouted at Lin Yan and the others and gave them an ultimatum.

"Well, in that case, there's nothing more to say." Dutch shrugged, spread his hands, and then said in a voice that only Lin Yan and John could hear: "Listen to my command, three, two, jump!"

The moment Dutch said the word "jump", Lin Yan and John, who were only one step away from the edge of the platform, turned around at the same time and leaped forward.

With an intense feeling of weightlessness, the hat on Lin Yan's head was the first to fall off his head due to the resistance. The wind whistled in his ears, and the airflow in his face made it impossible for Lin Yan to open his eyes.

"Ah...ah..." Two long screams came from beside and above Lin Yan respectively. Lin Yan tried hard to open his eyes a little, and then he found that John, who had grabbed the corner of his clothes when he jumped, had let go of his hand for some reason, and was now "dancing" with great "excitement" half a meter away from him.
