Chapter 22 Be bulletproof because of fear of death
When Rorschach returned to the shooting scene after touching the body, the two surviving cowboys immediately took off their hats and greeted them, expressing their gratitude:
"Thank you very much, sir... If it weren't for you, we might have lost our lives..."
He glanced at the neatly arranged boxes of wine bottles on the carriage, and seemed to have thought of something, and asked casually:
"It's just a simple task. Do you know these robbers?"
"I don't know, but they claim to be people from the Odrisco gang."
Odrisco Gang?
Hearing the familiar name here, Rorschach couldn't help but raise his eyebrows gently.
In the entire world of Red Dead Redemption 2, time has arrived at the end of the nineteenth century.
Just like the preface of the game when you first entered the game, this is the era when the outlaws and the sharpshooters are about to end.
The United States is also transforming into a country ruled by law, and even the wild west has been almost conquered.
Even so, there are still a few gangs who are at ease with this chaotic land...
In addition to the protagonist group, which has a small number of people and has a strong combat power, there are several gangs that must be mentioned.
The Sharp Wolf Gang, Morian Raiders, Skinning Gang, Morriver Family…
Among them, the one that players are most familiar with is naturally the Odrisco Gang, which is in power with the Vanderlin Gang!
From the game plot, we can know that Colm, the boss of the Odrisco Gang, once killed the woman of the Vanderlin Gang, Daqi, and Duqi killed Colm's brother.
The two, together with the two gangs, fired guns almost when they met, and remained unrestless.
When Rorschach learned that these robbers were from the Odrisco gang, he was even more satisfied with his decision to eliminate the roots.
The Ao Gang is not a small character.
Although I am not afraid of the other party, there is no need to cause greater trouble for myself for a small injustice...
During the following conversation, Rorschach suddenly discovered that the employer of these two carriages was the Braceway family, one of the two major families in Rhodes Town!
One of the men with a mustache and look younger, was a member of the Braceway family named John Braceway.
Well, a very bad name...
The wine on the carriage was originally to be delivered to St. Denis.
However, he was robbed by robbers on the way, killing two subordinates and shattering many wine bottles.
Both the personnel and the goods were lost, and they could not continue to go to St. Denis and had to go back first to explain the situation to the Braceway family.
However, considering that the two had to control two carriages and walked on the vast grassland, they were like a walking piece of fat meat, and everyone was salivating.
After learning that the young black-haired young man in front of him was the recently emerging bounty hunter "Ghost", John Bracewayt decided to make a heartless request to him:
"Mr. Rorsch, if you are willing to escort us back to Braceway Manor, the Braceway family will be very grateful for your help."
When speaking, the other party also specifically emphasized the tone of the word "thank you".
What the implication is that there is a generous reward.
Rorschach thought about it and decided to accept the request and escort the carriage back to Braceway Manor in Rhodestown.
Anyway, St. Dennis is very close to Rhodes and will not run around. Why not first appreciate the style of the plantation family in this era?
As far as he knows, the Braceway family is privately engaged in a business of selling private brewing.
In this era when alcohol bans are increasing and food prices remain high, the prices of regular alcohol are also scary.
A small cup of scotch whiskey costs ten cents!
If the private brewing of the Braceway family can be transported to Valentine for sale, the benefits will definitely be very considerable.
Of course, the premise is that the Braceway family is willing to do business with themselves, a stranger.
Helping the other party send this batch of goods safely back may be a good introduction and the beginning of a cooperative relationship...
...
The sun sets.
The falling sunset is like the orange-yellow pigment in the painter's hand, dyeing the sky with bright colors.
"drive!"
John Bracewayt and another cowboy were driving a carriage and heading back along the road they came.
Roxar, wearing a black windbreaker, followed behind on a horse in case a slutty attack from behind.
While the two of them were driving the car and had no time to pay attention to themselves, Roxa held the reins in one hand and lifted the hem of the windbreaker with the other hand.
When I looked down, I saw that there was an extra bullet hole on the left abdomen of the white shirt!
Unbuttoned a button on the shirt, put his hand inside and touched it, and Rorschach took off a bullet that was flattened due to the impact from the surface of the steel plate!
Playing with the bullet in his hand, Roche squinted his lips and nodded with satisfaction:
“Luckily I have a bulletproof vest…”
The robber leader did shoot Rorschach.
However, the bullet that shot through his shirt and hit his left abdomen did not shoot into his body, but was blocked by the bulletproof vest he was wearing.
This is one of the reasons why he is not afraid to fight a gun with a robber leader!
In addition to being very confident in his marksmanship, this homemade bulletproof vest is also one of his reliances!
As early as half a month ago, Rorschach began making the late nineteenth-century version of the bulletproof vest.
He is not the kind of reckless man who rushes up to attack others when his head is hot.
Of course, he also cherished his life that had finally escaped from the hands of the god of death.
Therefore, Rorschach is willing to take all methods to ensure the safety of his life.
One of the methods is to make a homemade bulletproof vest!
He first customized several steel plates of different thicknesses through grocery store.
After personal experiments, it was found that the five-mm steel plate was the most in line with his requirements.
Even if it is hit within five meters, the revolver's bullet cannot penetrate the steel plate.
Immediately afterwards, a special vest was customized at the tailor's shop.
Finally, the 14-5-mm rectangular steel plate was stuffed into the inner layer of the front, back, left and right sides of the vest, thus completing this bulletproof vest.
This homemade bulletproof vest is not lightweight and not easy to wear. But it has very good protection.
After all, Rorschach cannot ensure that he is not hit by the enemy at all in the chaos of gunfight.
With this bulletproof vest, there is also an extra layer of insurance.
Just every time I get shot, I'm a little bit tired of my shirt...
After tying the buttons on the shirt again, Rorschach threw it casually, and the bullet that could not penetrate the steel plate and entered his body was abandoned on the grass...
...
Perhaps it is because the goods on the car are not necessarily a private brewing wine.
So, after a circle from outside the town of Rhodes, two carriages entered the manor area of Bracewayt.
A boulevard extending forward is approaching.
On both sides of the road, extremely thick towering trees are planted.
At the end of the road is a simple and unpretentious mansion!
At this time, John Bracewayt, who was sitting in the carriage, turned his head and looked at Rorschach, who was riding in parallel, and waved his hand:
Chapter completed!
