Survival begins with Red Dead Redemption 2

Chapter 28, Mosquitoes, Sailors, and Orchards

28,

Dozens of patrolmen galloped past on steeds, and the sound of hooves frightened all the crocodiles on the side of the road to hide in the lake. This is already the sixth wave of people who have appeared here since today.

Although Dai Pingan and others blew up the telegraph office in Saint-Denis before they left, the news that they robbed the station and blew up the factory spread out in various ways.

Especially when the mayor of Saint-Denis heard the news that the main force of the mounted police in the police station had suffered heavy losses, he directly notified the surrounding policemen to come to support them by telegram, and then directly increased the reward for the main criminal, Dai Pingan, to $4000.

As soon as the new reward was announced, everyone with guns went crazy for it.Not only the police, bounty hunters, and Pinkerton detectives, but also many townspeople and ranch workers got involved, and even the factory workers in St. Ping An "Revenge".

Therefore, the inaccessible and crocodile-strewn black swamp in the north of Lemoyne became the only way for the police and detectives following the railway.

At this time, Dai Ping'an, Javier, and Bill were already hiding near Hagen's Orchard in the Black Swamp.

Dai Ping'an's expression turned ugly as teams of people searching for them whizzed by.This is not because there are more and more people searching for them, nor is it because mosquitoes are rampant in the grass where they are hiding, but because that old guy Hosea has disappeared.

According to the plan, after Dai Pingan and the three of them get rid of the pursuers, they will let the train continue to move forward at a constant speed, while their people jump off the train halfway and hide in the woods west of the Hagen Orchard, waiting to meet Hosea and turn around together. Doroz, and then back to Horseshoe Watchtower through the border.

As for why you don’t take the money and drive the train back to Valentine directly, the reason is very simple. No matter how fast the train is, it can’t go as fast as the telegram. A telegram from St. Denis was sent, let alone Valentine or the Cornish Coking Coal Factory. Gather a large number of troops at the Emerald Station, and when the time comes to play a game of throwing yourself into the net or catching the fish in the urn, the four of them will die uglier than anyone else.

According to the agreed time, they will wait for Hosea who is driving the car at noon, but it is already three o'clock in the afternoon, and there is still no sign of the other party at the east intersection, but the police who are chasing them, Detective Pinkerton And bounty hunters are passing by more and more.If this continues, even if Hosea comes, it will not be so easy for them to get out.

That old thing isn't plotting against himself again, is he?

Dai Ping'an murmured to himself.

He never doubted Hosea's loyalty to Van der Lin's gang, but he also didn't believe that Hosea would let him go if given the chance.If the old guy was more ruthless and let the three of them wait here to die, it wouldn't be impossible for him to bring his belongings back to Van der Lin's gang.

Looking at Javier, who was holding a cigarette and not talking, and pretending to have a deep expression, and Bill, who was smirking and wiping the maxim, Dai Pingan dispelled this doubt.

Hosea is not Daqi. Although the old man is stubborn and suspicious, he still can't do the act of betraying his brother.What's more, if Hosea really betrayed them, the police who received the news would have arrived long ago, and they would not have left them a few hours to feed the mosquitoes.

Speaking of mosquitoes, the mosquitoes in the black swamp were born to suck the blood of crocodiles, not to mention their size, with thick and long mouthparts.A few times, he didn't dare to move because the police passed by outside the forest, and the damn mosquito took the opportunity to leave several walnut-sized bags on his neck.My neck was sore and itchy, and the weather was stuffy and hot, making me feel unspeakably uncomfortable.

"If only it rained."

Dai Ping'an murmured.

"Wow..."

There was no thunder or lightning, but the pouring rain fell at the speed of a thunderstorm.In the heavy rain, the mosquitoes didn't know which leaf to hide from the rain, and the crocodile also sank to the bottom of the pool. Only Dai Pingan and three people in the woods shivered in the rain with their guns in their hands.

Javier and Bill looked at Dai Ping'an with mournful eyes. They all heard his "complaint" just now, which made Dai Ping'an very uncomfortable.Just as he was about to complain, a carriage drove up at the east intersection.

It was Hosea's chariot.

Not only him, but dozens of people followed, a whole platoon of cavalry.The sudden torrential rain disrupted the team's marching formation, and they rushed to the Hagen Orchard on the side of the road to shelter from the rain. The leading officer greeted Hosea before leaving, but Hosea shook his hand and refused. Drive the carriage and move on.

Swaying, the carriage continued to drive forward at a leisurely pace for a few hundred meters, until it turned to the right and made a big bend. After making sure that the cavalry on the other side of the orchard could not be seen, Hosea pulled the reins and stopped the carriage at the off the curb.

The three figures slid up in one swift motion.

The carriage that Hosea was driving was a kind of wagon with a shed, which was a bit like an improved version of the caravan during the Westward Movement. The carriage could be filled with cargo, and five or six people could sit on the cargo. Pull the curtain of the shed, Nothing can be seen outside.

Bill, who was holding Maxim, was the first to get in the car. As soon as he got in the car, he found a cloth to wipe the water stains on the machine gun.When Havel, who came up from behind, stretched out his hand to drag Dai Pingan up, Hosea also got in from the front.

"Those people are sailors guarding Sisika Prison on Alcatraz Island."

Hosea didn't bother to wipe the rain from his face, but lifted the curtain at the back a little, and looked back vigilantly: "In order to hunt you down, they'requisitioned' those three pack horses, if I didn't say these The tools are prepared to repair the Rhodes Police Station, and this carriage cannot be kept."

"What does chasing us have to do with pack horses? It's not like we can't catch up."

Dai Pingan asked while wiping the muddy water on his face, and accidentally touched the bump on his neck. It was so itchy that he couldn't help shrinking his neck back. When he came to his senses, he found that the three of them were looking at him like a childish child .

"They are sailors stationed on the west side of Saint Denis, on Alcatraz Island, and they specialize in guarding Sisika Prison."

Hosea explained Dai Ping'an word by word, but seeing that he still didn't understand, he gave up.On the other hand, Bill, who had military experience, explained.

"This is the tradition of the army. They need to relax, or to vent, you understand?" Bill seemed to remember something, and the hand wiping the gun slowed down:
"The military camp is a very depressing place. Even if you have money, you have no place to spend it. It's okay to be stationed on land, and you can go to the surrounding towns to relax, but on Alcatraz, there are only those prisoners who have committed crimes or gone crazy. .”

"In fact, everyone is trapped on an island. Sometimes it is difficult for you to distinguish who is the guard and who is the prisoner."

"If they have the opportunity to return to the mainland, they will naturally have to relax. Before going back, they have to bring some things that are not available on the island. At this time, they need pack horses."

"Then they just...will they..."

Dai Ping'an suddenly thought that those sailors had just rushed into the Hagen Orchard.

"No, they're just sheltering from the rain, and there's nothing worth anything, just a few oranges, what else can they do."

As soon as Hosea finished speaking, gunshots came from the orchard.

"Bah!"
