Survival begins with Red Dead Redemption 2

Chapter 150, Chapter 149, the plan to cover the sky, destruction (final)

149,

The torrential rain came faster than expected, and New Austin, which had not been lit for a long time, was once again covered by black clouds above its head.

In the wind and rain, Yan Xiaoguo, who was tortured and exhausted, finally passed out. Apart from the sudden cold wind and rain, Dai Pingan's cold rejection made him fall.

Put people on the carriage and drive towards the damaged Closhang Fort.On the O'Bravo Heights, that is the only place where you can escape the wind and rain.Major Milton led the cavalry to open the way ahead, followed by the silent Li Jiayuan and others.

They witnessed Yan Xiaoguo's downfall, and also heard Yan Xiaoguo's last words. Although the kidnapping of the princess had nothing to do with them, it seemed as if a stone suddenly weighed on their hearts, and they always felt unhappy.

The thick black robe became heavier and heavier under the wind and rain, and the lingering bloody smell became more intense under the impact of the rain.During the galloping ups and downs, the majestic war horse can break through the dense rain curtain in front of him, but it can't tear away the haze shrouded in his heart.

Even if he didn't say a word, but because of Yan Xiaoguo's wailing before he fell into a coma, there were already endless waves in his heart.

Ge Ge in Manchu loves to die, but the princess in China cannot be bullied by outsiders!
This is the dignity hidden in the blood, and it is also the unyielding buried deep in the bones. No matter how many lives he killed on the edge of the cliff, how much blood was stained, and how vitriolic and vicious he showed, he could not conceal the anger in his heart.

He almost said yes.

But when the thunder shook, it not only illuminated the humiliated and helpless face in front of him, but also the reality that was colder than the storm.

The weak don't even have the right to cry, let alone dignity.

There is a word called heartlessness,
There is another word called beyond reach.

He has no way of knowing where the princess is, and even less of how to rescue her.
But he knows one thing clearly, that is, if the mess in New Austin is not cleaned up before dark, it will not be the police from Blackwater Town or the detectives from Pinkerton who will arrive tomorrow, but the American police. Armed national army.

He can pursue Colonel Beckett now and find a way to get news of the princess, but when tomorrow comes, who can come to rescue him?

This is called being powerless.
This is called beyond reach.

Therefore,
He can only refuse,
Because his plan has to continue.

The rainstorm came and went quickly.

The moment before they rushed back to Buchan Fort, the golden sun shone through the cover of dark clouds, but none of the returning people felt the slightest warmth.

As soon as he came back, God gave Dai Pingan a generous gift.

On the high ground not far to the east of Closhang Fort, two mountains of corpses piled up there, one big and one small.

The big ones were fragmented and covered with wounds. There were four or five hundred soldiers and policemen who died in the cloth shop last night;
The small ones are ragged, skinny, corpses with braids carried out from the dungeon, and there are also one or two hundred people.

The mountains of corpses piled up are spectacular, and the dead bodies are also ugly, but no matter how ugly they are, they can't compare to Dai Pingan's face dripping with water.

Pushing away the crowd, stepping on the red corpse water, he walked to the two hills step by step.

The unresolved smell of blood rushed to the face, and the smell of alcohol inside had been washed away by the rain, leaving only a faint smell of kerosene that could barely be smelled.A few scorched torches were soaked in the crimson muddy water, and it was impossible to use them again.

"Bring all the people in the Chinese labor camp up. If they don't clean up before dark, they don't have to go back."

"Everyone?"

"They should also raise their heads from their crotches and take a good look at the real world, all of them, not one less!"

Speaking of this, Dai Pingan turned his attention to Major Milton and Deputy Sheriff Hartman who followed.

"Let's do it according to the plan, you two. As long as today is over, everything we want will come true. The things in front of us have been destroyed. Now, let us start to change this world!"

"Sheriff Hartman Van Trief!"

"From now on, you are the official sheriff and temporary mayor of Armadillo Town, and the hero who rescued Mayor Barry from Fort Buchan. While bringing the injured Mayor Barry back, please Lead people to blockade Armadillo Town, before tomorrow, Armadillo Town is allowed to enter and not allowed to leave!"

"As you order, Mr. Dai."

"Major Hank Milton!"

"From now on, you are the highest military officer of the cloth shop, and you are also the direct victim and witness of this rebellion and purge. Every cloth shop soldier who survives will stand by your side and serve you prove."

"In order to ensure the stability and safety of the New Austin area, I hope you can temporarily take over the guards of the railroad company and confiscate their weapons."

"As ordered, sir."

Dai Pingan took out the map in his arms. The content marked on it had been smeared and dilapidated, and only two capital letters were barely visible.

"I will destroy all the wells in Twin Cliffs, Hanging Cliffs, George Valley, and Winter's House. I must ensure that in the next month, there will only be Armadillo Town in the middle of New Austin, and Fort Clothessen will still be there." There are clean water sources in the three places where there are Chinese labor camps!"

Let go of your hand and let the map fall gently under your feet,

It wasn't until the whole "NEW AUSTIN" was also stained with blood and soaked softly that it was crushed.

"Everyone, success or failure depends on one action, now, please go!"

The sound of "rumbling" horseshoes sounded, and under the leadership of the major and the deputy sheriff, half of the troops left Buchanbao and swept down along the mountain road of the Obravo Heights, carrying the malice released by Dai Pingan. That beautiful land.

It wasn't until the sound faded away that Dai Pingan had the time to turn back. Yan Xiaoguo, who was in a coma, had already been sent to cloth shop fort to rest, but was helped back by Duan Tianlei. Shopkeeper Xiao, who hadn't spoken much, hesitated to speak.

"Shopkeeper Xiao, I didn't expect to meet you in this place. It's really a fate. If there is anything I can help, please tell me."

After living in the dark for more than a month, shopkeeper Xiao was exhausted both physically and mentally. Unlike Yan Xiaoguo, who was furious and anxious, his eyes were still three points calm.

"Hongmen Xijintang, Xiao Zhengli, head of the St. Denis branch, on behalf of the living brothers, thank Mr. Dai for saving his life."

Shopkeeper Xiao arched his hand and saluted first.

"Be polite, it's good to survive, survival is more important than anything else."

"I also heard about your plan just now. Mr. Dai, you are going to do a big thing. Thank you for saving your life. If there is anything we can do to help you, the brothers of Hongmen will never hesitate to say anything. "

"However, I still want to take the liberty to ask, are you planning to fortify the wall and clear the land, and block New Austin?"

Dai Pingan shook his head:
"Heaven and earth, the living people can be blocked, but the news cannot be blocked. I just want New Austin to be chaotic first, and then seek a chance of survival in the chaos."

Seeing what Dai Pingan said, Shopkeeper Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, and then cupped his hands again:

"Since Dai Ping'an has made up his mind, I can rest assured, but there are two things that I have to ask Mr. Dai."

"please say."

"One is the bones of my own brothers. The brothers came here from across the sea but died in other places. Human death is the most important thing. They were wronged when they died. I hope that Mr. Dai can leave a whole body after their death. In the future, there will be a chance for the fallen leaves to return to their roots. , the soul returns to the hometown."

Seeing so many dead people, Dai Ping'an even planned to give his own body to others in exchange for a bounty, let alone others.But since shopkeeper Xiao has already mentioned it, he has to give this face.He looked at Duan Tianlei at the side:
"After Uncle Han and the others come up, you can work harder, bring someone to watch, find another place for our own bones, and bury them farther away. If we can tell who they are, we can bury them separately. But..."

Speaking of this, Dai Pingan's tone turned cold:
"You can make a mark, but you can't build a grave, and you must bury it before dark. You know, we still have guests coming in the afternoon, so there is no delay."

Duan Tianlei nodded and pointed to the other side.

"What about the others?"

"Search clean, dig a big pit and bury it first, maybe it will be useful. Also, keep an eye on Uncle Han and the others. If anyone is tricky, just bury him in it for me."

"Yes!"

"Thank you, Mr. Dai." Shopkeeper Xiao repeatedly cupped his hands.

"Shopkeeper Xiao, what about the second thing?"

"The second thing, I only have one sentence," shopkeeper Xiao hesitated, but said it anyway:

"Although the Manchu Tartar is abominable, but the brothers fought against the wall and defended against her humiliation from outside. From the moment she fell into the hands of foreigners, she was not only the princess of the Qing court, but also the princess of our country. Our Hongmen and the court Although the situation is at odds, I still don't want to see such things as the sheep-raising ceremony and Jingkang's shame happen again."

"If there is a chance of rescue in the future, I hope you can help. If it is useful to us at that time, it will still be the same sentence, we Hongmen brothers will never hesitate to say anything."

For a while, Dai Ping'an didn't know how to answer, and shopkeeper Xiao didn't say anything more. After nodding his goodbyes, he was helped by Duan Tianlei into the cloth merchant's castle to rest.

Dai Ping'an was silent for a long time, until Javier at the side handed over a lighted cigarette, and the depression in his heart turned into a sigh with the blue smoke he exhaled.

"Get ready. If the plan goes well, it's time for you to work hard."

Most of the buildings in Buchan Castle were destroyed by the Hotkiss rapid-fire guns, but after cleaning up the corpses, there are still some rooms where you can rest temporarily. In addition, some solid buildings have been preserved, such as the dungeon where Yan Xiaoguo and others were held.

However, at this time, the prisoners in the dungeon were replaced by captured captives. There were soldiers who survived the cloth shop, and there were also two groups of support who escaped from the cavalry saber.There is still some use for keeping them, so I simply stuffed them in.

In addition to the dungeon, there is also the warehouse of the Fort Cloisters Barracks. Colonel Beckett who left in a hurry left behind a lot of useful things, including valuables, bullets and explosives.Compared with the tens of millions of ransom that is about to be received, these things may not be worth mentioning, but for Dai Pingan, this has saved him a lot of trouble.

On the incomplete city wall to the north, Dai Ping'an was alone playing with the gold bricks in his hand.It was the gold brick of the same size that was worth five hundred dollars, and there were still seven or eight gold bricks in the box at his feet.

It seems a lot, but in fact it is less than the monthly salary of Major Milton's cavalry.

At the beginning in New Hanover, he relied on such a golden brick to exchange for a chance of life from Micah and Dutch. Unexpectedly, he came to New Austin, and today he has to rely on these gold to fight hard.

After an hour of cold wind, someone came to report that two smoke columns were rising from Armadillo Town and the hanging cliff where the road guards were stationed. This was the signal that Sheriff Hartman and Major Milton had succeeded respectively.

Through the telescope, Dai Ping'an also saw the signal rising from the wasteland.He raised his arm and swung it vigorously. Cai Maozai, who had been waiting in the yard for a long time, immediately poured kerosene on the piled logs and set them on fire.

The wood that had been doused by the rain was immediately ignited by the burning kerosene, but with the flames rising, there were also bursts of incompletely burned smoke.On the O'Bravo Heights, which was clear after the rain, this solitary smoke was particularly obvious.

At the same time, Miss Nanni, who saw the three signals, rushed into the church, tapped out the clear code with trembling fingers through the radio equipment that was always on standby, and sent this intermittent message to everyone who could receive the telegram:
armadillo town

railway
Big gold mine!
cover
massacre
Beckett!
Along with the regular ringing of the electric key, this message that could arouse anyone's infinite reverie was sent out.I believe that at this moment, the eyes of many people have already shone with golden light because of receiving this brief and blurry telegram.

As long as the flame of greed is ignited in the heart, it can ignite this desolate land until it burns the whole world, including the original stable order.It is precisely because of this endless fire that Dai Pingan can have the opportunity to play a game of picking chestnuts from the fire and exchange for a glimmer of life again.

As long as the fire burns, nothing matters, including truth, law, and crime,
Burn down the old rules in order to dig out new things from the ashes.

The battle of Buchanbao was just a prelude, and this was the real beginning of the first part of Dai Pingan's plan to cover the sky.
destroy!

World-shattering destruction!
In Fort Cloister, the frightened signaler, salesman and technician, Mr. Ulysses Grant, successfully copied this message through the repaired radio equipment.

When Dai Pingan saw this telegram, he knew that his plan had successfully started to run, and excitedly raised the gold brick in his hand and slapped it heavily on the city wall.

"Ha ha……"

The hoarse and deep laughter made Ulysses tremble again.

It's not that he's timid, it's because in just half a day, he has seen too much cruelty and death from Dai Pingan's hands.

Just the fact that the little finger was distorted and deformed by the gold brick, but the other party could not see the slightest pain on his face, and he could still laugh easily and complacently, was enough to make him terrified!
