Survival begins with Red Dead Redemption 2

Chapter 79, Chapter 78, Black Pool Water, New Deal
78,

In the water dungeon, the corpses of the dead and the blood of the living were both settling and brewing in this pool of black water.

One drop after another, the blood that rolled down Dai Pingan's face bloomed on the dark water like moths to a flame.

Every time a trace of blood is swallowed, the darkness under the water will become colder.

The cold black water, mixed with death and unwillingness, while taking away Dai Pingan's body temperature, also nourished his broken heart.

It was raining, and it was quite heavy.

The rain dripped down Dai Ping'an's face, with a few drops of crystal, mixed with blood, falling together, blooming and withering like epiphyllum in the black water, and never seeing again.

When death freezes warmth, when blood wraps weakness, the darkness deep under the water is no longer as cold as before.

"Hehe...hehe..."

With a grim smile, Dai Ping'an, who had kept his head down, raised his head, letting the rain wash over his face.The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the black water surface "boiled" like a boiling pot. At that moment, he seemed to smell the aroma of big ballast porridge again.

"Have you seen enough?"

Turning his head, Dai Pingan shifted his gaze to the man tied next to him, who had been staring at him since just now.He put away his smile and tried to look normal:
"Do you want to make a deal?"

Because of the heavy rain, most of the guards on the shore hid in the house, leaving only two people wearing raincoats to guard on the head of the trestle bridge.The rushing rain not only covered the light of the lanterns in their hands, but also covered Dai Ping'an's voice.

The person next to him could hear it clearly.

Those who can be tied to a wooden stake alone like Dai Ping'an are naturally not ordinary people. The group of bounty hunters who attacked the thief's territory was summoned by him.He survived the battle by luck, but Tula did not intend to let him go easily.Tying him here is to let him see how his subordinates betrayed and died with his own eyes.

As the leader of these bounty hunters, he hated Dai Pingan more than the Salamanca family.

If it wasn't for the $15 in stolen money, he wouldn't have organized people to gnaw at the tough bone of the thieves' territory; if it wasn't for the seizure of two machine gun carriages, they wouldn't have raised their hands and surrendered.It's all because of Dai Ping'an, and the way he stares at Dai Ping'an is of course not very friendly.

Dai Ping'an didn't care about this, nor was he in a hurry, even if he didn't get a response for a long time, because he could already see a trace of hesitation from the hatred and suspicion in the other party's eyes.

"What deal?" The other party still didn't hold back.

"I'll let you out, and you take me out." Dai Ping'an shook his head and moved his numb neck:
"You have also seen the injuries on my body. It is a bit inconvenient. I have a way to get everyone out of here alive. The premise is that your people still listen to you, so we may give it a go."

"They are my people, of course they will listen to me."

"you sure?"

"Of course I'm sure."

"What's your name?"

"Langton, James Langton."

"My surname is Dai, Dai Ping'an."

"I know!"

Gritting his teeth, James Langton looked at Dai Pingan viciously, but Dai Pingan smiled.

James Langton sported a traditional English beard with a bushy mustache framing his sideburns.He usually looked very imposing, but now that he was washed by the rain, the way he gritted his teeth reminded Dai Pingan of a schnauzer that fell into the water.

"What are you going to do?" James asked, holding back the anger in his heart.

"I'll help you untie the rope, you just let them out." Dai Pingan's tone was very relaxed, as if saying another simple thing that couldn't be simpler:

"To the east is the river, and you can go down the river if you turn over."

"You can also go to the west to enter the thief's territory. I have a way to cause a riot, but I need to wait."

It seems that there are two choices, but in fact there is only one way.

It is true that you can float along the river after you get out of the water prison, but the east side is also the confluence of the Lower Montana River and the St. Louis River, and the current is turbulent.The group of them were exhausted after a night of torment, and they were afraid that they would fall into the river or swim ashore.

"What are you waiting for?"

James also knew he had no other choice.

"Hehe, of course it's waiting for the rain to stop."

It might be a coincidence, but not long after Dai Ping'an finished speaking, the rain became much lighter.

"How do you let me go, your hands are still in shackles?" James turned his head and asked Dai Pingan, but Dai Ping'an's place was empty.

Is it hard to undo a pair of shackles?

It's difficult, it requires long hours of practice and talent, so Dai Pingan doesn't know how to do it.However, he knew a simpler way, that is to shrink his palms as much as possible.

And to do this, he just needs to straighten his thumb before being kicked over by Tula.The moment he was kicked to the ground, his index finger was seriously injured for the second time, and his thumb was crushed as he wished.

As soon as he got into the water, his two hands broke free from the shackles, and he has been soaking in the water without moving. Apart from thinking about how to escape, the rest is waiting for the recovery of his fingers.Breaking a finger hurts, and breaking a twisted finger back hurts even more.

James Langton was not in shackles, and Dai Ping'an easily let go of the ropes that bound him.After he got ashore, he first dragged Dai Pingan ashore, who couldn't last long in the water, and then stooped towards the two guards.

His movements were not light, but the continuous rain provided him with the best cover.The other bounty hunters in the pool also found his trace, and they all held their breath. Under their gaze, James Langton wrung out the necks of the two of them one by one.The corpse was slowly sent into the river, and disappeared after a whirl.

He rescued other bounty hunters. Dozens of them soaked in the water all night, their skin white like evil spirits crawling up from hell.The trestle is covered with wooden boards, which creak when stepped on, so everyone is very careful in their movements.

When everyone went ashore, the rain finally stopped.During this period, with the help of Dai Pingan, James sneaked into the house with several people and stabbed the rest of the guards to death.And Dai Pingan also took advantage of this time to untie the gauze, and pulled out the bullets from his legs with his hands.

James Langton also specially found two bounty hunters to support Dai Pingan, who was handicapped.Under the guidance of Dai Ping'an, they sneaked all the way and returned to the courtyard where they were tortured before.

There was only one guard in the yard, and James wiped his neck before he could figure out what happened.The debris in the yard is still there, and the wooden stake that was erected before is still there, but the table, chairs and weapons on the table that Lalo made were taken away.

"Now? What is your solution?" James Langton asked anxiously.

Dai Pingan didn't answer, but smiled lightly, and asked someone to help him to sit under the wooden barrel by the wall.Picking up a cup that was dropped by someone from the ground, shaking off the rainwater in it, Dai Ping'an turned on the tap on the barrel, and drank a cup happily.
