Survival begins with Red Dead Redemption 2

136 Chapter 135, old problems, old contradictions

135,

"Mr. Dai Ping'an, you mean tomorrow morning? Ten thousand dollars."

Major Milton was still a little unbelievable, and the cavalry around him also raised their heads. This time, there was no hesitation and doubt in their eyes, but instead, they were replaced by greed and desire for money in their hearts.

"That's right, ten thousand dollars." Dai Pingan licked his tongue, rolling a fishy sweetness into his mouth:
"As long as the Closhang Fort is captured, I will pay cash on the spot at dawn. Again, if I can't do it, you can exchange my body for the bounty."

"Don't have any psychological burden. Think about those people who are staying in Fort Cloister now. Whether it's Colonel Beckett or ordinary soldiers, whether it's food or drink, they all rely on replacing your original quota. Yes. So, they are the common enemy of you and me, and the capture of Closhangburg is not only helping me, but also helping yourself."

"But……"

"There is nothing but Major Milton. You are the best fighters, the most accurate gunners and the sharpest sabers. You should focus on attacking and killing instead of worrying about whether you can still eat tomorrow. "

"There is only this chance, and I also believe that no one else can offer a higher salary than me. You can try it first: if you think it suits you, just help me be your boss and follow me; if you are still not used to it, Get out with the money tomorrow morning, and I won't stop it."

Dai Ping'an stretched out his bloody hand and pressed it on Major Milton's shoulder. The blood seeped into the washed white military uniform along the red palm print.

"I have shown my sincerity, now, it is your turn to make a choice, my major. Either agree and accept this well-paid job, or refuse, draw your sword and hack me to death to collect the bounty."

Dai Ping'an's every word was like a devil's voice, and it was more like a ghost haunting his soul, forcing everyone on the opposite side to a corner where there was no turning point.

When Major Milton came to his senses, he found that his palm had unconsciously clenched the hilt of the cavalry saber, but the saber that could be easily pulled out on weekdays became as heavy as a thousand pounds.

Looking at the devil-like smile in front of him, Major Milton didn't know whether his choice was right or wrong. While he was hesitating, someone had already made a choice for him.

"Cang Lang",
The sound of drawing a knife sounded behind Major Milton.I don't know who drew the first knife, but immediately after that, it was like opening a gate, and sharp sabers slid out of their sheaths amidst the sound of drawing swords one after another.

The cold blade did not point at Dai Pingan, but was held straight in front of his chest, and behind the blade that was shining with cold light, there were faces hidden in the darkness that could not be seen clearly.

This is a classic etiquette belonging to the cavalry, and they showed their attitude in this silent way.

Even without looking back, Major Milton could imagine the situation behind him, and as a soldier, he naturally knew what it meant.Dai Ping'an gave too much, so much that even he couldn't help being moved.

When he came back to his senses, he found that Dai Ping'an's face that seemed to have been dead for a long time was quietly waiting for him under the reflection of the cold light of the blade.

With a sigh, Major Milton untied the military saber at his waist, which represented military honor, and handed the saber and scabbard to Dai Pingan's blood-stained hands.From this moment on, these soldiers who were originally loyal to the country but were ruthlessly abandoned changed to a new object of allegiance in order to survive.

The efficiency of the soldiers was very high. With one order, they not only retrieved the pistol and vest that were discarded along the way for Dai Pingan, but also simply bandaged Billy who was unconscious in the grass, and brought them back to the Chinese labor camp.There are still half of the staff waiting for the news, and Dai Pingan also needs them to convey tonight's decision.

Seeing Mr. Drew and Major Milton leading the people away in the dark, a triumphant and ferocious smile condensed on his face. Dai Pingan, who was still standing upright just now, fell straight down.

Javier, with sharp eyesight and quick hands, hurriedly supported him, but as soon as he took over, it seemed that he was holding a piece of ice taken out of the cellar.

"Is there any wine?"

Dai Pingan groaned, and it was only at this moment that big beads of sweat dripped from his forehead, and it was only then that Javier realized that under the blood and mud, Dai Pingan's clothes had been soaked through with cold sweat.

As a result, the whiskey that Javier handed over was downed in one gulp, and immediately choked out mixed with blood.But Dai Pingan didn't care at all. After spitting out the blood, he continued to drink the wine in one gulp. When the whole bottle of wine was drained, his face became more bloody, and he sat down with Javier's arm stand up.

Javier seemed to have been prepared, and handed over another bottle of wine.

"Is it worth it?"

"Of course it's worth it," Dai Pingan took a few deep breaths, shaking his dizzy head:

"The salary of five thousand dollars per month is indeed a bit high, but we can get a hundred veterans who are ruthless and straight. We are not losing money on this deal. Besides, can't you still exchange me for a bounty? My bounty The gold is enough to cover their expenses for two months, hehe..."

Laughing, Dai Ping'an was about to pick up the whiskey, but Javier didn't expect him to let go. He raised his head, his calm eyes made him put back his hippie smile:

"You should know what I mean, is it really worth it for you?"

Of course Dai Pingan understood what Javier was trying to say.

A few of them traveled to New Austin to treat Arthur, Mary and his own problems.Although the illnesses of Arthur and Mary were under control now, his problems were still hard to explain in words. It was obviously unwise to provoke the Closhangburg barracks at this time, not to mention spending a lot of money to hire those veterans who had been dismissed.

The military strength of Major Milton and nearly [-] people is really worth the money, but because of the large number of people, their monthly salary of up to [-] is not included in the bonus that Dai Pingan promised tonight. million dollars, which is already more than half of Dai Pingan's net worth.

This also means that Dai Ping'an must find a way to make a lot of money all the time, otherwise when he can't pay his salary, it is likely that he will suffer backlash.

What Javier wants to ask is, for a cloth shop, to deal with Colonel Beckett, and for those hundreds of people Dai Pingan has never met, to carry a big burden that even Colonel Beckett was unwilling to take over. , is it worth it?

At this moment, Dai Ping'an had a hundred reasons to fool him, but he couldn't even utter a single word.

It was his idea to recruit these veterans who were kicked out by Closhangburg when he left McFarlane Ranch.He has a way of messing up New Austin, but he can't think of a suitable idea to take down the iron bastard lying on the Rio Bravo Heights in the cloth shop.

The entire Buchnerburg barracks was run by Colonel Beckett as an iron barrel. This is not a problem that can be solved by sneaking in and killing individuals alone. He not only has to deal with Colonel Beckett who is heavily guarded, but also has to take hundreds of hostages from 1000 people. Many soldiers were rescued under their noses.

What's even more nonsense is that he still hasn't figured out why these hostages are being held. This leaves him with no way to cheat, but can only choose to attack by force, and this can only be done by two or three of them. less than.

After a long silence, Dai Pingan finally smiled at Javier.

"Whether it's worth it or not, I don't know, it's just that I don't do some things, and I feel a little uncomfortable."

"Just for this reason?" Javier obviously didn't believe it.

"Otherwise, why did you rebel against your government in Mexico and end up wandering in a foreign land today."

"I did it because I was young and not sensible."

"Oh? It seems that our Mr. Iscola is indeed getting old. Unlike you, I, Dai Pingan, are still very young."

Dai Pingan smiled slightly, took advantage of Javier's stupefied moment, grabbed the bottle and drank it.

"you……"

When Javier came to his senses, the wine had bottomed out, and Dai Pingan, who had drunk two bottles of wine, gained some strength and was finally able to stand up on his own.

"Do we have to do it tonight, so many things happened..." Javier was still a little worried.

"I don't want to, but at dawn tomorrow, Buchanbao will get new support. If we don't do it tonight, then our hard work during the day will be in vain." Dai Pingan patted Javier shoulders:

"Don't worry, my body is fine, and tonight's night is still long, there is still enough time to rest before the early morning, and then I can drink a few more glasses."

"Really okay?"

"No problem at all,"

Seeing Javier's expression of disbelief, Dai Ping'an felt that he should prove it for himself. As he spoke, he raised his right hand, reached into his shoulder and picked out a bullet:

"If you don't believe me, look."

"You just don't feel it, you fucking lunatic!"

Javier cursed like this, but he still pulled out the gauze and bandaged it for him.

"That's enough, a simple bandage will do. There is Huang Feihong in the camp of the Chinese laborers. When the time comes..."

Having said this, Dai Pingan suddenly stopped and looked at Javier:
"Because of him again?"

Javier nodded, then shook again:

"It can only be said that it has something to do with him."

For a moment, the feeling of wanting to scold your mother but not knowing how to say it came to Dai Ping'an's heart again.

It turned out that after Dai Ping'an left, the Maxim controlled by Bill sounded, and the battle ended in victory.The gangsters of the Howling Wolf Gang were dead and wounded. Except for a few who escaped by chance, the rest were trapped in the siege of Major Milton.

Most of them chose to surrender, and a few sneaked into the tents of the Chinese labor camp to fish in troubled waters, but they were searched out by Li Jiayuan and his men.

In just a few days of training, this young man who hoped to have enough to eat in the future and those Chinese workers who survived in the tall forest have undergone a significant transformation.It is of course impossible for each of them to hit the target with a pistol and a repeating rifle, but it is still no problem to kill one or two with a shotgun.

Milton's cavalry surrounded the perimeter, and the raids into the Chinese camp were carried out by Li Jiayuan and his men. All the gangsters who dared to resist were sprayed with several shotguns, and the deaths were worse than the last. Not even a whole body was left behind.

Their murderous posture also attracted the attention of other Chinese laborers in the camp. Seeing their compatriots who were exactly like themselves killing people with guns, a new door opened in front of them.

Everyone has the same roots, and they chatted quickly after the battle, and they were on good terms for a while, until a list was found by Li Jiayuan from the "Mayor of Barry".

Mayor Barry's Xibei was no longer as arrogant and domineering as before. He said what he knew in order to survive.It turns out that the records on this list are all "good people" who performed well in the Chinese labor camp. The purpose is to allow this double to obtain information about Dai Ping'an from the population on the list. The hapless guy whose head was cut off by Sito was on the list.

After learning this information, Li Jiayuan naturally wanted to find out the people on the list, but the stubborn Uncle Han expressed his disapproval, and although Huang Feihong didn't stop him, he didn't let Li Jiayuan shoot his own people. The two gangs froze together.

Because it was an internal matter of Huagong, Bill was too lazy to take care of it, Javier was not easy to take care of it, and it happened that Brother Hei Erqing and Wang Duan were not there, and Li Jiayuan couldn't make the decision, so the stalemate and delay took so long.Otherwise, according to Wang Duan and Hei Sande's temperament, they don't have to wait until the early morning to attack Bu Shangbao. Everyone in the Chinese labor camp has to do it first, and the cavalry who are watching the excitement will not rush at all. come over.

Hearing the news, Dai Ping'an felt a burst of irritability in his unhappy heart. With the weird spear left by Mayor Barry, the two got on their horses and rushed back. As soon as they got back to the camp, they Hear the movement of the quarrel.
