Chapter 318: Sand Bandits Besiege the City (Part 4)
Hu Lushou's expression froze at the words, and he tentatively shouted, "Really? You'd let me go?"
"Of course not, hahahaha!!!"
Lao Xie laughed arrogantly, eyes sharp, and said, "To be honest, you're not that strong, but you've got a smart head. You're a talent. I really wouldn't want to let you go, so if you're willing to follow me, we'll just forget about today. You can keep collecting tolls for me here. How about it?"
Hu Lushou looked puzzled, "If I follow you, can I still live?"
Unexpectedly, as he finished speaking, the noise outside suddenly quieted down.
The few people in the Black Rose Bar exchanged looks, and after a while, Lao Xie's laughter came again from outside.
"Still lying to you. How could I trust a shyster like you? I'm going to capture all the men and women in your group and sell them. That's the most profitable business!"
"Damn it!"
Hu Lushou stared wide-eyed at the megaphone in his hand. In all his years, he'd never been played so thoroughly before.
No, it was the second time.
Last time, someone sold him over a thousand Starfire Type 26 automatic tactical rifles...
Lu Zhao looked at Hu Lushou's expression, his face darkened as well. Those sand bandits practically wore arrogance and madness on their faces.
"Hehehehehe..."
Just as Hu Lushou was furious and the crowd was silent, a crisp laugh suddenly came from the basement passage at the back of the bar.
"Who!"
Lu Zhao and the others were startled, but Hu Lushou quickly blocked them.
As the voice fell, a purple-haired girl walked out with light steps, her face trying hard to stifle a laugh, "It's killing me, fooling him three times with just one sentence."
"Boss Hu, didn't you pride yourself on being a doomsday merchant? They've got a gun pointed at your throat, and you still want to negotiate?"
Another steady voice sounded from behind her.
Lin Xian, clad in Black Hawk Silent Hunter Armor, advanced with firm steps, his visor open, a smile on his face as he looked at Hu Lushou, "What, don't have faith in our plan?"
Behind Lin Xian, besides KIKI, were Da Lou and Liang Lei, two towering figures each standing two meters tall, each holding a pair of heavy-roaring Gatlings, exuding a terrifying aura!
Behind them were Chen Sixuan, Li Guangwen, Luo Luo, Ah Min, and dozens of others wearing Power Armor. These experts had been secretly brought into the city under KIKI's telekinesis before dawn, hidden in the basement of the Black Rose Bar.
When Hu Lushou saw Lin Xian come out, his eyes lit up, and he immediately put on a smiling face, "Not at all, a merchant, what's a merchant but someone who can negotiate anything? I'm just trying to lull the sand bandits into complacency to buy us some advantage."
Seeing these imposing figures emerge, Lu Zhao and Xie Guan and the others kept backing up, eyes brimming with surprise.
"Boss Hu, who are they?"
"They're here to support us," Hu Lushou quickly explained.
"Support?" Lu Zhao saw this scene, and his face immediately lit up, "You have a secret passage?"
"No, we came in early," Lin Xian said straightforwardly.
"Tsk." Lu Zhao was immediately taken aback, slapping his thigh, he said, "How is this called support? You just walked into their trap, didn't you?"
"Not necessarily. Defending a city is far easier than attacking one, and besides,"
Lin Xian chuckled, looking sharply at Lu Zhao, the convoy leader,
"It's not certain who's surrounding whom."
Saying that, he directly took the megaphone from Hu Lushou's hand, speaking calmly,
"All survivors defending Akse, listen up, if those sand bandits outside were really capable, they would have stormed in already. Why bother with this propaganda using loudspeakers? The truth is, they're worried they can't handle our hundreds of people without suffering significant losses themselves. Speaking of which, Lao Xie, Red Eagle, Bone Metamorphosis Dragon, aren't you just a bunch of pretentious names? You're working together, right? Have you decided yet who's going to sacrifice their men as cannon fodder? Whoever takes the brunt might just get swallowed by their good brothers~"
This unveiled the heart!
Lao Xie's face turned cold upon hearing this, fury rising instantly, and at this moment the woman beneath him made a 'mistake,' making him yank the chain harshly, nearly snapping her neck.
The Red Eagle and Bone Metamorphosis Dragon's eyes flickered at this, showing no expression.
They certainly understood the intent behind these words, but understanding didn't mean they wouldn't think that way. Now that the other side had pointed it out, a subtle tension emerged among the three sand bandit teams.
"Which convoy are you from, and who gave you the right to speak?"
Red Eagle, seeing Lao Xie's black face, immediately picked up the communicator, shouting at Lin Xian.
"Didn't you investigate my convoy yesterday? Forgotten in one night?"
As the words dropped, the eyes of the three exchanged glances, communicating via internal channels.
"It's that convoy with the very pretty woman!" Bone Metamorphosis Dragon said immediately.
"How, Wu Lao Er didn't mention anyone from another convoy entering the city?"
Red Eagle's eyes narrowed, "Looks like Ma Zi and the others are going to be empty-handed."
Lao Xie wore a contemplative look, "I dislike unexpected changes, let's just take action."
The presence of a few more people in the city didn't faze Lao Xie and his people, but if a convoy they were tracking suddenly appeared where it shouldn't, it meant there was an intelligence leak, and that the other side was prepared. The ruthless Lao Xie immediately picked up the radio,
"Poison Snake, Scorpion, Granite, get ready to move!"
Instantly, all the sand bandits surrounding Akse received the command and immediately began to open fire.
Several Superpower Users within the sand bandit teams quickly took action as well.
