Survival begins with Red Dead Redemption 2

Chapter 13, Chapter 13
13,

Micah rushed down with flying speed.

But when he actually reached the bottom of the valley on the edge of the storm, he was dumbfounded.

Seen from above, the train carriage is just a small section, but in front of the eyes, a huge section of the carriage stands upright, almost as high as a four-story building.The door of the carriage in the middle of the train was open, but the height of five or six meters was not something that Micah could fly up to if he wanted to.

There is only one way to enter the carriage, and that is to climb up a platform nearly two meters high next to the carriage, then climb up a stone wall more than three meters high, and then step on a pile of rocks protruding above the stone wall to reach the cliff Halfway up the mountain, and finally jump out from the halfway up the mountain, and jump to the other end of the train carriage.

When Dai Pingan followed Hosea and the others down at the end, Mika was bouncing up the three-meter-high stone wall on the platform.One stroke, two strokes...it was only when I finally fell down on my buttocks that I had to give up resentfully.

Mika limped and struggled to climb down from the platform. He accidentally twisted when he jumped, and finally he could only return to Dai Pingan and Hosea, with a face full of jealousy, honestly Watching Bill and Javier climb up the platform.

Bill squatted down to let Javier step on his shoulders, then stood up and sent the man up the stone wall.Javier was very agile, and soon reached the middle of the mountain with the help of protruding rocks, and then jumped to the other side of the train carriage and climbed in.

"Have you found any gold?"

Listening to the sound of rummaging in the carriage, everyone outside was very anxious, especially Micah.He gritted his teeth tightly and stared at the carriage, for fear of missing something.

"no!"

Javier's empty voice came from the carriage.

"Nothing at all?"

Bill next to him screamed. The gap in his heart was a bit big, and he couldn't accept it.

"There really is nothing!"

Javier's annoyed voice came from inside, but immediately after, a sun-like light lit up at the door of the carriage——

That's a big gold brick!

Big golden bricks shining brightly!

It was exactly the same piece that Micah had brought back to camp earlier.

"I just found this, do you want it?" Javier's joking voice sounded again at this moment, but no one cared about him anymore.

"yeah!"

"Ah ha ha……"

Micah clenched his fists tightly; Bill jumped up and down excitedly, like a big horse monkey; Hosea also loosened his daily tense brows, smiling from ear to ear; even Dai Pingan smiled applauded for them.

For a moment, everyone was so happy and happy. The exhaustion and fatigue brought about by several days of running around were instantly annihilated under the shining of gold!
Everyone was intoxicated by the excitement, and it wasn't until Javier yelled for the third time that they realized it.

"Catch it quickly, I can't hold it anymore!"

"Stop! Don't throw it! Take it back first, hurry up, take it back!" Hosea's face changed with fright.

What if you can’t catch it when you throw it down, what if the gold bricks fall into gold cakes?

The rope and the package were thrown in by Bill from the door of the carriage. Soon, a package wrapped in a large gold brick was pulled down by Javier with a rope.This is the first trip, there will be a second trip, a third trip... and it will not stop until the end of the fifth trip.

Bill took out the big gold brick from the package, touched it, no matter whether it was clean or not, he opened his mouth to chew it, but when it reached his mouth, he suddenly remembered something.

Bill stopped, and he looked straight at Mika, until he saw that Mika's face was so dark that it couldn't be darker, then he turned his eyes to Dai Pingan who was aside.

Dai Pingan gave Bill an affirmative gesture, and Bill ate it without hesitation.

uh-huh!

Don't even mention it, it's so fucking sweet!

"Why only five yuan? Only half?" Hosea asked Dai Ping'an.

"Give half first, and give the other half after the transaction is completed. It's fair, isn't it?"

Dai Pingan took off his hat and rubbed his head with his right hand.The matte feel of newly grown hair is not the same as the smoothness of a bald head, but it feels the same, but it is a bit sticky after not washing for a few days:

"Da Qi knew about this, didn't he tell you?"

"Oh, I remembered, he told me. But five yuan is good enough, enough, enough, enough..." Hosea muttered, but Dai Pingan didn't care.

"Javier! Is there anything else in it, if not, then come out!"

"Wait! I found something else!"

After a while, Javier jumped out of the carriage and carried the gold down the platform with Bill who was ready.

He walked up to the crowd and took out some other things: dozens of old cash, about fifty dollars; five old gold rings, worth a dozen to tens of dollars; and a bottle of Pirate Lang rum.

"I already have that gold, so it doesn't need to be counted as gang property?"

Javier looked at Hosea and couldn't help asking.When he said that, except for Hosea and Dai Pingan, everyone's eyes lit up.

The Van der Lin gang has a rule:

That is, no matter what means you use outside or how much money you earn, you have to hand over half of your income to the gang in return for the gang’s protection and support.But this does not mean that if the gang asks you to do something, you can also get half of the benefits from it, even if you are Dutch.

So, even if the five of them found the gold and brought it back, the gold still belonged to the gang.In the end, they will definitely get a part, but it is absolutely impossible to be half as much.

Of course, this rule is aimed at relatively large amounts of income.If a gang member earns 20 yuan and [-] yuan outside, whether or not they pay half depends on their personal quality, and the gang doesn't care, Daqi and the others are not poor and crazy!
It is precisely because of this that Javier dared to make a request to Hosea at this time-the pile of things was also less than 200 US dollars, which had to be handed over in the past.But now, for some reason, in front of those five gleaming gold bricks, these things seemed to be inexplicably less valuable.

After thinking about it for a while, Hosea still agreed.

Micah's hand was the fastest, and he reached for the pile of rings. Among the five rings, one was obviously the thickest, with a ruby ​​the size of a mung bean inlaid on it. It looked the most valuable, and it cost thirty or forty dollars. .

"Crack!" Hosea slapped his hand off: "You are everywhere! Mr. Bell, what qualifications do you have to be the first to pick?!"

Finally, after some discussion, Hosea gave the ruby ​​ring to Dai Pingan who had been silent beside him.Others, including Micah, were embarrassed to object to this division, and Dai Ping'an didn't reject it too much, and put it on his middle finger after taking it. Not to mention, it really fits.

Hosea distributed the rest of the ring and cash to everyone evenly. Dai Pingan didn't ask for cash this time, but chose the bottle of wine, and everyone didn't say anything.

After sharing the harvest, everyone started to walk back with their gold. Originally, each person carried one piece, but Bill would not let go of the piece that belonged to Dai Pingan. This made Dai Pingan happier. How heavy.

It was already afternoon when I was looking for gold, and after such a toss, it would get dark in a short while.Hosea didn't dare to let them walk at night. A little further ahead is the Bacchus Bridge. In the middle of the night, what if a train arrives while walking? Is it possible to jump off the bridge?

The crowd found a place to set up camp near this end of the Bucks Bridge.Perhaps it was because all the gold was put in the bag, the previous excitement gradually dissipated. After setting up the camp, everyone thought of a serious question:

There seem to be wolves around here!

That night, Dai Pingan didn't continue to practice, and Mika didn't think about playing any games. Everyone put their guns where they could reach them at any time.Everyone ate dinner quietly and prepared to rest. Just when they thought that tonight would pass safely, the wolf howled!
Real wolf howls!

Dai Pingan could tell that this was not a contact signal from the Indians, but the serious howling of man-eating wolves in the wild. He had been chased by this kind of howling before, and almost lost his life. Acknowledge your mistake.

Load all the bullets and pull all the hammers away!

Howling wolves appeared to their north, one after another, moving from west to east.Suddenly, gunshots from the east rang out. Immediately, the wolf stopped howling, but the gunfire didn't mean to stop.

The wolves were never heard again, but the gunshots kept ringing. Javier said it was not a good omen.Sure enough, after a while, the gunfire began to become sparse, and finally divided into two streams, one getting closer and the other farther away.

"Fuck! They were scattered by the pack of wolves, and a group of people is coming this way." Bill is worthy of being a soldier, and he can judge the movement over there just from the sound of gunshots!

"Don't let them lure the wolves here! Mr. Iscola, Mr. Bell, you go and help them, and if you can't stop them, lure them away!"

Hosea made an arrangement. Javier and Micah, one holding a Lancaster repeating rifle, and the other holding two pistols, rushed towards the place where the gunfire was approaching.

At this time, no one dared to disobey the order.This was a pack of wolves that dozens of people couldn't stop. If they rushed over in one wave, let alone five of them, adding five would still be food delivery.

Dai Pingan helped Hosea to start the fire. In addition to burning the original bonfire and adding some thick branches into it as torches, he also had to light fires at the four corners around the camp.

Wolves are afraid of fire, but this does not mean that wolves are afraid to come and eat you when you are by the fire, and when your back is against the fire, the wolves are hidden in the darkness opposite you, only when the wolves The moment you pounce on it, you can see it clearly by the light of the fire.

Bill also unhooked the horses tied to the tree, and drove the five restless horses away.

Horses have spirituality. If they are free, they will avoid the attack of wolves. Generally, wolves cannot catch up with horses. Moreover, they know their way and will run back after everything is over.

But if the horses were tied here, when the wolves came around, the frightened horses inside neighed, and the wolves outside howled, the scene was not ordinary chaos.It would be even more fun if one of the horses broke away from the rope in fear and rushed into the crowd.

As for the escape on horseback at night?Hehe, this is a mountainous place, you really think you can't fall to your death!
All three are ready to fight to the death.

At this time, the gunshots in the distance were still ringing, but the one that was getting closer was quiet.

Gunshots gone?Is the whole army wiped out?

"what!"

A scream sounded from the woods not far to the north,

It's Javier!

After the screams, there was no movement for a long time, no gunshots, no howling of wolves, it was as quiet as if nothing had happened.

Hosea nodded to the anxious Bill, and Bill put the bolt-action rifle on his back and groped northward with the cowboy revolver in his hand.

After this time, there was no more movement.

There were only two people left in the camp. Dai Pingan looked at Hosea and found that Hosea's hand holding the gun was firm, but the anxiety in his eyes as he looked towards the northern woods betrayed him.

As the night grew thicker, there was no movement from the three of them, and Hosea finally couldn't sit still, and he stood up holding his Lancaster.

"I have to go and have a look!" Hosea said firmly, "It's still safe here, just wait here and don't go anywhere."

"Pick up your gun and shoot if you feel any movement around you! When we come back, we will greet you in advance, so remember, you must shoot in advance! Whether it is a man or a wolf, you must be in advance shot!"

After saying this, Hosea plunged into the darkness of the forest without looking back.

Now that's all right, he's the only one left in the camp.

Dai Pingan took a deep breath. He was chased by wolves before, and he was almost killed, but the total number of wolves was only three. The current pack of wolves can't suppress the dense gunfire , This number is probably over a hundred.

Dai Pingan pulled Schofield's revolver out of the holster, broke off the hammer, put it on his waist, put his left hand on it, and pointed the gun at the north.

He didn't use the other cowboy revolver, and the two single-action pistols were raised together, and he probably couldn't even break the hammer at this moment.Instead of that, it's better to control a gun with two hands. Dai Ping'an is confident that he can shoot all six bullets out of the gun in the first time.

As long as his intensive special training in the past few days is effective, let alone people, even if wolves come, he can guarantee to beat the other party into a sieve.

He thought so in his heart, but Dai Ping'an still kept swallowing, not counting as training, this was his first time to solve a problem with a gun!
The twigs just thrown into the bonfire crackled, and the surrounding night became quieter, so quiet that even the night owl covered its mouth.

Dai Pingan relaxed his breathing. He wanted to be quiet so that he could detect the movement in the woods. As a result, he found some rustling sounds in the woods moving from the north and getting closer!

"Mika?!"

"Hosea?!"

"Javier?!"

Before it was his turn to call Bill's name, the voice over there was already very close, and the opposite party was obviously not his own, so Dai Pingan raised his gun:

"Snapped!"

The gun went off...
