177: Killing Intent

"Get ashore, hurry ashore!"

Waiheke Bay, is the confluence of two rivers.

The two rivers form a Y-shape, and the land is divided into three areas.

Because of the complicated terrain, Lin Yao and the others got rid of the Kree people for the time being, and were able to abandon the ship and go ashore and take the land route.

"Hurry up and put the leather on your back, we don't have much time left."

"Help me, my rope is broken, help me put the leather on my shoulder."

"Hurry up and get out of front, the Kree are coming to kick your ass!"

Under Henry's command, the group abandoned the raft and went into the jungle with the skins on their backs.

From here to the west are the Sierra Mountains, a complex mountainous environment with dense jungle that provides them with the best possible cover.

"Stop, we'll split into two teams, one to bury the skins, and the other to make a noise and divert the Kree pursuers."

Henry stood in the middle of the jungle with a compass in his hand: "If the plan goes well, in two weeks we will meet in the city of Malta, where wine and lamb chops are waiting for us." ”

Staying and hiding their fur meant they couldn't leave the jungle for an hour or two, or even longer.

If you're unlucky, you'll find out about the Kree and you'll probably kill them all.

Of course, it is equally dangerous to divert the pursuers.

They were going to run up the hill while shooting to attract the attention of the Kree and give time to the people who hid their skins.

You don't have to ask, you know, the Kree will be like hunting dogs behind them, and they have to sleep with one eye open.

"I'm going to stay, I need to know where my precious skin is hidden, and I can't trust anyone else to do this."

Gerard was the first to ask to stay, and he did not believe anyone, only to believe in his own hands and eyes.

"We'll stay too!"

The second to respond were Taylor and William.

Lin Yao glanced at Taylor, and somewhat understood why he stayed.

Taylor was bloated, weighing at least 240 pounds, and years of excessive alcohol consumption had left him in very bad physical condition.

Let him be in the first echelon, follow everyone to lead away the pursuers of the Kree, and it is estimated that he will not be able to run far before he will be tired and lie down.

Staying in the second echelon is different, they have to stay in the woods for a while.

At that time, the Cree should have been led away by the first echelon, and then there would be a situation where the first echelon ran in front, the Cree chased behind, and the second echelon was at the end.

As long as they stay hidden and their luck is not too bad, the Kree would never have imagined that there would be a group of people behind them.

"Hawke needs to stay, he has a leg wound and can't take the responsibility of directing his pursuers away."

Glass looked at Hawke, then at Uncle Taylor, "I want to ask you two to help me take care of Hawke, and if you can lead Hawke to Malta City, I will pay you a thousand dollars." ”

A thousand dollars, which was definitely a lot in 1888.

Ordinary people get a salary of about 30 yuan a month, and it takes two and a half years to save this money without eating or eating.

"No problem, we'll take care of him."

Taylor agreed, and in his opinion it was no different from picking up money.

"Hawke and I have been to the reserve a few times, and he is familiar with the terrain here, and he will lead you out."

It's not that Glass doesn't want to stay, but that he, as a guide, must follow the first echelon.

Otherwise, let Henry and the others go ahead, who knows where they will go, two weeks across the Sierra Range, is the most ideal time he has estimated, provided that he leads the team.

If not, let Henry and his party run around with the map, and they may not be able to get out for a month.

"It's four, is there anyone else to stay?"

Henry looked around, the first echelon only needed strong soldiers, and they did not clash head-on with the Kree, and the number of people was secondary.

Ideally, the first echelon should be composed of five or six people, with few people and strong mobility, which is convenient for evacuation, and easy to expose when there are many people.

"I'll stay."

After thinking carefully for a moment, another famous cobbler chose to stay.

And just when Henry felt that no one should want to stay anymore, Lin Yao suddenly spoke: "Glass, if you can convince the boss to give me his gold version of Carcano, I am willing to stay and help you protect Hawke." Of course, I'm protecting, putting an end to some trouble, not being a babysitter for Hawke. ”

Lin Yao bit the word protection very hard, and inadvertently glanced at Gerald.

As we all know, Gerald has a bad relationship with Glass's father and son, and if there is a chance to fall into the ground, Lin Yao doesn't think he will let it go.

"Good!"

Glass agreed without thinking, and then pulled Henry aside.

No one knew what they had said, and when they returned a few minutes later, Henry reluctantly handed over the gilded rifle.

"Remember your promise!" Glass looked at Lin Yao's eyes.

Lin Yao nodded heavily, weighed the rifle and cartridge belt, and said, "Of course! ”

The Carcano Collector's Edition gold-plated rifle is a high-end item that Lin Yao has been coveting for a long time.

It has a barrel length of 76 cm, weighs 3.8 kg, has a built-in magazine, has a six-round load, and has an accurate range of 380 meters.

The only drawback is that it cannot be loaded automatically, and every time a shot is fired, the bolt must be pulled to reload.

In the regular channel, this collector's edition of the French rifle costs at least $850.

Even if it is a second-hand gun, the black market price will not be less than $600.

Its performance is more sophisticated than the standard firearm, and it is no exaggeration to say that this gun will not be outdated on the battlefield of World War I, which is a legendary weapon of the moment.

"If it weren't for my poor marksmanship, I would never have given this gun to you."

Henry took Lin Yao's old gun and muttered reluctantly: "It's like my woman!" ”

Lin Yao smiled indifferently, rifles and horses are the romance of men in the west.

Such a good weapon should be in the hands of a master, and it would be too condescending to put it in Henry.

I just don't know what Glass said to Henry, so he reluctantly took out his weapon.

Come to think of it, it must be some kind of agreement.

For example, after escaping, Glass agreed to bring people to pick up furs and so on in the winter.

"It's been delayed for more than ten minutes, and now the first team is coming with me, and we have to go to the mountains to get some movement."

After dividing the group, Henry did not stay long, and soon led the people up the mountain.

Lin Yao and the six of them dragged their furs to the bushes dozens of meters away.

About half a cup of tea.

Gunshots were heard from the hills, and it was Glass and his party who were attracting the Cree.

Sure enough, the Cree who were looking for them rushed to the location where the shots rang out.

Lin Yao and the others hid in the woods, quietly waited until it got dark, and saw a total of three waves before and after, and hundreds of Cree people caught up with the mountain, including six Cree warriors with chicken feathers on their heads and animal bone necklaces around their necks.

"Hopefully Grasse will have their luck, I just counted, there are about 120 to 140 Cree people up the mountain."

Taylor lay on his stomach in the grass and whispered to Lin Yao and the others.

Lin Yao and the others didn't move, and in this way, they evaded the tracking of the Kree people.

Attracted by the gunfire of several Grasses, the Kree did not expect at all that there would be people hiding in the woods below the mountain.

Minutes and seconds passed.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the gunfire in the deep mountains was out of reach, and the world seemed to be calm again.

Lin Yao lay in the bushes, biting the weeds he grabbed casually, and looked at Gerald not far away.

He will choose to stay, believing that the chances of survival are better because of one thing, and the other is because of Gerald's presence.

Over the past few months, Gerrard has been giving him a lot of trouble and warning him to look good when he returns.

Lin Yao has never been a person who sits idly by, and it is not clear whether Gerald has power in the city.

He felt that it would be a good idea to solve this problem on the road.

It looks good tonight, he doesn't die, how can Lin Yao sleep at night.

People do not hurt the heart of the tiger, and the tiger is harmful to people's will.

Lin Yao didn't want to hand over the initiative, fantasizing that Gerald would let him go, or be wiped on his neck in his sleep.

ps: Lao Long has a cold, and his body is not very well, and there is only this one today, so I ask for your understanding. Everyone should also pay attention to adding clothes, it's cold, the season is changing, be careful of cold.
