Apocalypse: I Build A Doomsday Train

Even with equipment like the Iron Alliance Order, it serves mostly as a deterrent. Those small to medium-sized convoys have no means to cope, so they naturally avoid the sand bandits.

On the side of the sand bandits, Lao Xie and Chameleon both turned cold-faced upon hearing Lin Xian's words. The two exchanged glances, seemingly having long anticipated that the other party was not afraid of the Iron Alliance threat, and Lin Xian had also pointed out the falsehood behind the so-called Iron Alliance Union. Other than that, in this current situation, other convoys really don't have the guts to loot this Joint Train.

Even if the Iron Alliance were to come together, by the time that happens, who knows where they would have already driven to. It's like the saying about pulling one hair and moving the whole body, just waving a flag that scares people.

Lao Xie's knuckles cracked as he pondered for a moment before picking up the communicator again.

"Do we have some kind of vendetta with you guys? I can't remember meeting you before. You're fleeing eastward in numbers to survive, so why provoke us sand bandits? Don't tell me you're out to enact justice in this world. Just state your purpose. We do have quite a lot of resources here, at least 500 Blood Essences. As long as you let us go, all of these can be negotiated!"

The people from the Survivor Caravan were visibly shaken after hearing this. It was clear from Lao Xie's words that the other party was begging for mercy!

Lin Xian couldn't help but sneer upon hearing this as he looked at KIKI and then at Da Lou and Liang Leideng and the others, speaking helplessly: "I really don't get it..."

He immediately picked up the communicator and said

"Oh right, I almost forgot, I already know the location of your bases, so..."

Lin Xian cleared his throat and said sharply,

"You fool, killing you will be just the same for me!"

Pfft...

KIKI couldn't help but chuckle upon hearing this. All the survivors exchanged strange looks, as Captain Lin's responses are always unexpected.

Over there, upon hearing Lin Xian's words, Lao Xie and the others' faces instantly darkened. He almost crushed the loudspeaker in his reflex!

Just as Lao Xie was caught in a state of uncertainty, Chameleon suddenly looked around in the distance, seeing many vehicles appearing simultaneously in the south, north, and the direction of the Sand Snake's mouth, kicking up great clouds of yellow sand on the far horizon.

Seeing this, Chameleon's eyes lit up, and he jumped up at once

"Haha, reinforcements are here!"

The rest of the sand bandits immediately became excited as well.

"They're here, they're here!"

"Our people have arrived!"

"Let's turn the tide!"

"This is our turf!"

"The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind!" everyone echoed.

Lao Xie's eyes twitched, and he immediately came to his senses. The angry expression finally relaxed, and a few drops of cold sweat dripped down his fat face as he picked up the loudspeaker once more

This time, his voice sounded much more relaxed, with that aura of controlling the situation returning.

"Sorry, brother, take a look around you. Did you think we stopped to talk this much just for fun? Hahaha, you're still too green to fight with me on my turf!"

Lao Xie took a long, deep breath and continued,

"This time, I took a fall, but since this grudge has formed, you'd better clear out of the Western Desert as soon as possible; otherwise, there's no guarantee your train won't become my presidential suite."

"Hahahahaha!"

With these words, the sand bandits burst into wild, mocking laughter.

Chameleon spit on the ground fiercely. He knew that with reinforcements, they could escape, but counterattacking the Joint Train was nearly impossible, with its firepower meaning death for anyone who tried.

But no matter what, being able to survive and continue their free-wheeling life is most important, the rest doesn't matter!

The Fu Lu Shou Team, the Akse Brotherhood, and Team Dawn people were shocked, seeing the yellow dust rolling in from all directions.

Lin Xian, meanwhile, remained calm, picking up the loudspeaker and saying

"It's said that sand bandits don't use their brains, but I've never heard that they don't use their eyes either. Why don't you take another look? Whose people are those?"

Lin Xian's words abruptly halted the laughter of Lao Xie's sand bandits. Hearing Lin Xian, many immediately took out electronic binoculars and realized that the fast-approaching vehicles in the distance didn't seem to be sand bandit cars. Instead, leading them was some sort of heavily armed base car, followed by many off-road vehicles. Interestingly, each direction had the same kind of base car, clearly the same force.

Seeing the images in the binoculars, Lao Xie and Chameleon's expressions suddenly changed.

Lin Xian walked out from the convoy, picked up the loudspeaker, and let out a deep sigh: "While you were attacking Akse City, I got rid of all your henchmen."

Before dawn, Lin Xian had already set up a strike force to completely cut off the sand bandits' retreat. They swept the high overlap area locked by the Iron Alliance Order's signal wave point-to-point!

The area around the Sand Snake's mouth was managed by Brother Huo, with Shu Qin and Lv Chang leading a team to rendezvous with Brother Huo at the Sand Snake's mouth.

The Black Oil Ditch in the north was handled by Qian Deli and Xiao Meng leading a team.

The South Wind Erosion Gate area was quietly infiltrated by Ning Jing, Xiao Qing, and folks from Dragon Mountain No.1.

Iron Rust Slope was personally handled by Monica, accompanied by Ah Bai.

Finally, the place where Lin Xian and the others camped yesterday was set up with a team for precaution.

Brother Dadao and others from the Hell Warriors Team.

20 minutes earlier.

The second-in-command of the Red Vulture Group, Ma Zi, received the Red Eagle mission, turning from Iron Rust Slope towards the direction of Lin Xian's camp from yesterday. With a convoy of over twenty vehicles armed with heavy weapons, they charged across the Gobi Desert.

Despite having no scars, Ma Zi got his name from the zombie blood splattered on his face during a fight, tainting it with toxins that left red spots all over.

He led his sixty-odd men straight for this 'small convoy's' camp, holding an old mobile terminal with pictures of people like Lin Xian, KIKI, Ning Jing, Xiao Qing, Ah Bai, Qian Deli, Monica—clearly photos secretly taken by the sand bandits at the Black Rose Bar yesterday.

Though the images were blurry, Ma Zi's eyes lit up with excitement at them.

"What a gem!"

"Brother Ma Zi, are you talking about the men or the women?"

"You damn fool!!"

"Hehe, that explains why my right eyelid kept twitching this morning. Turns out the boss gave us such an exhilarating task!" exclaimed a particularly sleazy sand bandit.

"Brother Ma Zi, luckily J-Bro isn't here. If he knew we caught so many gems to play with, he'd probably die of envy, hahaha!"

Ma Zi sneered coldly: "That idiot always mocks me, so this time I'll keep two alive for him to see how I handle women."

"Brother Ma Zi, can you save the purple-haired woman for me?"

"Brother Ma Zi, I want the one with the biggest chest! She looks so proud, those are the best."

"I want the one with the... "

"I'll be second!"

"Then I'll take third..."

The convoy was racing through the Gobi Desert, excitement bubbling within them even before they reached the camp. As they turned their vehicles towards their target, Ma Zi, who had been so confident, now wore a face of confusion.

"Something's off, Chameleon gave us these coordinates..."

Bang bang bang!

Before Ma Zi could finish his thought, he was interrupted by the sudden eruption of gunfire from all around the valley.

In less than five minutes, this group of sand bandits was immediately overwhelmed, leaving less than a dozen men unarmed and kneeling obediently on the ground.

As the sand bandits gazed around, filled with terror and despair, seventy to eighty musclebound, vest-wearing men with unshaven faces moved towards them with the force of an avalanche. Ma Zi looked up and saw the gun-wielding figures before him, detecting a familiar gaze.

Just like...

It was the same look they usually shot at girls.
