Apocalypse: I Build A Doomsday Train

"Something's wrong!" Lu Zhao and Xie Guan heard gunshots, and immediately their bodies shook, rushing out of the bar.

Hu Lushou watched their backs, sighed helplessly.

"You'll know the reason soon enough..."

The gunshots sounded abrupt and piercing in the pre-dawn Akse City. The few teams parked in the city had their nerves strained by the noise. Lu Zhao sprinted out from the bar with his men, and before he could ask, his communicator buzzed with his teammate's voice.

"Boss Lu, damn it, Wu Dapeng's team is firing at us!"

"What?!"

Lu Zhao's expression changed, as he pressed the communicator: "Wu Dapeng, what the hell are you doing?!"

But no matter how loudly he shouted, there was never any response on that communication frequency.

"This is bad!" Behind him, Xie Guan was pressing his earpiece, looking shocked: "Our people outside of the northern city saw a massive convoy rushing in, and by the look of their paint, they're sand bandits!"

"Boss, boss!"

Team Dawn's observation post on the heights of Akse City simultaneously reported: "Sand bandits spotted at Limp Ridge in the southern suburbs!!"

"Damn it!" Lu Zhao felt his scalp tingle upon hearing this. How did the sand bandits time it so precisely?

Bang, Lu Zhao and Xie Guan pushed open the Black Rose Bar's door again: "Boss Hu, we're being targeted, let's get out of here!"

"There's nowhere to retreat to. Over a hundred sand bandit cars are coming from Sand Snake Pass, all converging here." Sun Chang walked in from outside, her expression grim: "Two small convoys got chased back, and now they're exchanging fire. We're surrounded on all sides, we have to defend the city!"

"Surrounded?" Xie Guan looked astounded: "We can't go west?"

"Wu Dapeng already shot at my people, can't you see that?!" Lu Zhao shouted angrily: "He's definitely the rat who tipped them off, and now he's blocking our escape!"

"He wasn't the informant; he's always been a sand bandit..."

Hu Lushou, sitting inside, slapped his face in frustration, cursing: "Damn it, I've met so many people, how did I not see this old bastard was a sand bandit?!"

"Sand bandits don't advertise themselves; Harbor Team's gear is all clean, as long as they don't expose themselves, no one knows they're bandits." Sun Chang said bluntly.

"Damn, talking doesn't help now, grab your gear, let's fight our way out!" Lu Zhao shouted furiously.

Xie Guan shook his head, panic on his face: "There are so many sand bandits, they must've planned this long ago. Even if we break out, we'll only be worn down in the no man's land."

"Then what do you suggest?!"

"We can only defend." Sun Chang remained composed: "Captain Xie is right, we have a chance with a city fight, charging out is suicide."

"Exactly." Xie Guan said urgently: "Come morning, other convoys might pass by, these sand bandits can't surround Akse forever."

"Will other convoys care about us? Wishful thinking!"

"Quick, notify the team, Wu Dapeng that bastard is a sand bandit!"

Lu Zhao was pacing in distress, his gaze sweeping over the group, he turned and rushed out of the bar, Xie Guan quickly followed, both started to rally their teams to condense into the city and establish defensive positions.

"Our men are already arranged around the plaza, the high points and fire points are set up in advance."

Sun Chang looked at Hu Lushou: "The sand bandits from several directions add up to at least seven to eight hundred people, judging by this, Lao Xie and Red Eagle must be here this time."

"I know."

Hu Lushou rubbed his hands in anxiety, instructing Sun Chang: "Their Superpower Users might be troublesome, tell everyone to be extra cautious, don't fire without my command!"
