Survival begins with Red Dead Redemption 2

Chapter 31, Chapter 31, Escape and Disappearance

31,

The chief executive of the Cornwall Railway Company, the Cornwall Tar Factory, and a series of leading companies in Cornwall—Mr. Leviticus Cornwall—doesn't believe that workers can't work more than eight hours a day. Hours of crap.

Although it is midnight, the Cornish tar factory in the Heart of the Earth oil field is still working overtime.On the high towers of several oil wells, high-power light bulbs were installed to illuminate the entire oil production area brightly. On the wooden frames built in the oil production area, the guards of the tar factory, who sensed something was wrong, were already facing the south.

In the darkness of the south, the sound of rumbling hooves was getting closer and closer. It didn't seem like a movement that could be made by the nearby buffalo herd.When the sound of horseshoes was getting closer, and when they were about to reach them, in the darkness, a wave of bullets flew over.

The bullet was indeed thrown out.

Two modified "Twenty Rings" Mauser pistols were turned sideways and pointed forward.

As Dai Pingan took a deep breath,

Bloody dead eyes open,
While continuously pulling the trigger, Dai Pingan slammed his hands outward!
The forty bullets before and after were thrown at the guards on the wooden frame like a fan spread out, impartially, rain and dew evenly stained.

Fortunately, the wooden frame around him was cracked by bullets, but unfortunately, he fell off the wooden frame while clutching his calf.When this wave of bullets passed, a steed was the first to bear the brunt and rushed out from the darkness.

The guards started to fight back. I don't know whose marksmanship was good. A bullet hit the knight on the horse. The knight fell headfirst and was dragged by the horse for a long distance on the sludge discharged from the tar factory before he could barely stop. .

Dai Ping'an fell down.

The counterattack of the tar factory guards did not stop there, the intensive firepower continued to extend into the darkness, and the other people who were chasing after were hit squarely.When the leading policemen reined in their horses and wanted to shout at the risk of being hit, Maxim on the wooden frame on the Cornwall side also roared.

Under the powerful firepower, the policemen who had no time to defend were beaten and fled in all directions. This is because the guards of the coking coal plant did not know their identities, so they were merciful and did not dare to let go and beat them to death.

Gunshots rang out, horses neighed and people howled.

In the panic, whoever returned the shot, the light bulb on the nearby oil well tower was extinguished, and the south side of the tar factory was completely dark, and the gunfire of the guards became sparse.

No one noticed that just under the wooden frame that the tar factory guards stepped on, a black figure covered in waste tar climbed up from the mud.He didn't dare to get on the horse immediately, but led the horse and slipped into the darkness under the continuous gunfire above his head.

At dawn, Dai Pingan, who fell off his horse, stumbled into the camp of Horseshoe Watchtower.Lenny, who was watching the night outside, was taken aback again. If Dai Pingan's bald head was not familiar, he would pull the trigger in the next second.

The atmosphere in the camp was eerie.

Smith Pearson, the cook of Van der Lin's gang, was absently stirring the soup pot on the fire, while sneaking a glance at Hosea by the campfire.

In the early hours of the morning, Bill and the young men in the gang, John, Charles, and Sean fled back in a panic. After a while, Javier and Hosea also returned to the camp in a carriage.

The other people in the camp got up after being awakened by the movement, and surrounded them, but no one dared to say a word.Because as soon as Hosea hit the ground, he gave John a big mouthful.Seeing this scene, John's wife Abigail didn't dare to say anything, and hid in the tent to put the child to sleep.

A few logs of firewood were added to the campfire, and the fire crackled again.But no matter how strong the fire was, it didn't illuminate Hosea's gloomy face. At this moment, Lan Ni, who was on guard at night, supported his whole body, and Dai Pingan returned to the camp in the dark.

Ignoring everyone's surprised gazes, Dai Ping'an pushed Lanny away, and ran towards the soup pot in front of Smith, regardless of whether the food inside was hot or not, he shook his cheeks and began to swallow.

Cook Pearson wanted to say something, but found that Hosea had already arrived at him at some point:

"Let's cook another pot." Hosea's voice relaxed a lot.

"I mean……"

"I said, go cook another pot!"

Pearson didn't dare to make another sound, turned around and left to find the soup pot again. In fact, what he just wanted to say was that the things in the pot were not yet cooked.

Dai Pingan wasn't shot off his horse at all. Although he was shot, but with the protection of the copper plate vest, the bullet didn't do him any harm at all.It was he who passed out by himself and rolled off the horse by himself.

Suddenly rushing to the tar factory in Cornwall, Dai Ping'an originally wanted to play a trick and let both sides fight ghosts.Unexpectedly, just as the bullet was thrown out, the bloody dead eyes stopped, and the whole head hurt as if it was about to explode.

The severe pain made his eyes go black, just as he was shot in the chest, his body fell into the mud following the inertia of the bullet.The pain in his head disappeared quickly, and he quickly woke up from the coma, but after the headache disappeared, it was replaced by a strong sense of hunger.

If it wasn't for the stinky oil and sludge around him, he couldn't help but go up and take a bite or two.In this way, he endured the throbbing hunger in his stomach and finally went back to the camp. Seeing the soup pot on the fire, Dai Pingan couldn't hold it anymore.

Dai Pingan, who ate half a pot of stew and drank two bottles of brandy, ignored what Hosea wanted to say, fell headlong in front of the soup pot, and fell into a drowsy sleep.

This sleep was a whole day, and when Dai Pingan woke up again, the moon had already hung on the treetops in the east.His clothes have been washed and dried, and placed beside him together with his weapons. Even he himself has been washed clean and stuffed into the quilt, and the place where he sleeps has been taken from Next to the campfire he moved into a tent, a tent built just for him.

There was some noise outside the tent, Dai Pingan woke up, put on his clothes and left the tent.Outside the tent, people in the gang were celebrating again: by the campfire, Sean hugged Karen Jones, Lenny and others and kept talking about the thrills of the robbery. The slap marks on John Marston’s face were still there, but Still very happy, holding his wife and children on the side and echoing.

Seeing Dai Pingan come out of the tent, everyone cast admiring and thankful glances at him, and the uncle, who had been prepared for a long time, brought over a piece of freshly grilled steak and a bottle of Carrington brandy.

Dai Pingan was not as casual as before, but quickly stood up and took it with both hands. His sudden change of attitude surprised the uncle a little, but what surprised him even more was what Dai Pingan said next:

"I saw the world you mentioned. Really, I saw it. I swear, as long as you don't harm me, I will support you for the rest of my life. I will keep the wine you drink in the future. Drink as much as you want."

The uncle immediately put away his flattering smile in the past, looked up and down Dai Pingan in surprise, muttered "impossible" and walked aside.Dai Pingan wanted to stop him, but was pulled aside by Hosea who suddenly appeared.

"I divided some of the cash we exchanged for gold." Hosea said with a smile.

No wonder everyone in the camp was so happy, and some people raised their glasses to pay tribute to him. It turned out to be the power of money.At this time, Dai Ping'an didn't feel very happy, because like everyone else in the camp, Hosea was also smiling, but there was no trace of a smile in his pale smile.

"What happened?" Dai Pingan was a little panicked by Hosea's smile: "It's not Micah who plans to rebel and wants to be the boss."

"I haven't heard from Micah for five days. He said he was going to grab some postal carriage, but there was no more news." Hosea said, not forgetting to greet the passing cook with a smile on his face.

"Josiah is also missing. According to the schedule, his train should have arrived at the station yesterday afternoon. As a result, Lenny waited outside the station for a long time, but no one came out."

"Is there anything else?" Dai Pingan ate the steak while drinking the wine. He knew that something more serious must have happened, otherwise Hosea wouldn't have acted like this.

really,

"When Lenny went back to the camp these two days, he always felt that someone was following him, and he had to go around in a big circle every time before he dared to come back. Moreover, he hadn't contacted Dutch and Arthur for two days."

"The two of them are missing!"

Dai Pingan couldn't swallow the steak in his mouth.
