Apocalypse: I Build A Doomsday Train

"Come here, I'll tell you." Lao Xie wore a maniacal smile, watching as the group walked closer, the laughter in his eyes growing.

Finally, he stopped hiding and laughed madly.

"Hahaha, treasure, you are all going to be buried with me!!! Die, all of you!"

Lao Xie spread his arms, shouting arrogantly with a crazy look on his face!

But as the countdown ended, nothing happened, no explosion or death.

Suddenly, a cheerful ringtone echoed muffled from Lao Xie's belly.

"What is Dad's dad called?"

"Dad's dad is called Grandpa."

"..."

Swept by the sandstorm, Lin Xian slowly emerged into Lao Xie's view. Lao Xie wanted to move, but was restrained by an invisible telekinetic force. Listening to the eerie song from his belly, the manic smile froze on his face, unable to understand the change in situation.

Where's the bomb, the detonator?

"What are you waiting for, a bomb explosion?"

Lin Xian stepped out, battle armor mask lowered, staring indifferently at Lao Xie. The mechanical device on him was exposed bare under Lin Xian's gaze.

Before Lao Xie could activate it, the explosive device in his belly was devoured by Lin Xian, replaced with an alarm clock.

Lao Xie's pupils widened continuously, staring at Lin Xian's cold and fierce face, feeling a deep fear.

It was a fear of not being able to choose how to die.

"No, no!!!" At this moment, Lao Xie gibbered incoherently, "I—I—I really have a secr..."

Whoosh!

Twenty Thunder Falcon drones simultaneously fired pulse beams, and before Lao Xie could finish speaking, he was turned into a sieve by the intense pulse beams.

Lin Xian stepped forward, clenched one hand, scanned and devoured the dark golden Iron Alliance Order at Lao Xie's heart, then manufactured a new one, creating a detonator and placed the Iron Alliance Order inside before tossing it aside.

This was just an easy task, regardless of whether other Iron Alliance members would come, it could serve as a little surprise, whoever picks it up dies.

"This guy was full of bad intentions, trying to hurt people even at death!" KIKI grabbed with telekinesis, directly throwing Lao Xie's corpse out, and Monica, who walked over, whistled, instantly blowing the fat and ugly corpse into a blood mist.

"He could still summon an Abnormal Body?" Shu Qin walked over with a surprised look.

"Probably not a summon."

Lin Xian glanced at the sandstorm enveloping the sky. "Hu Lushou mentioned before that Abnormal Bodies appear in sandstorms. This guy used a device similar to bait."

Looking at the device blueprints in the Mechanical Heart, Lin Xian's expression became solemn. This was absolutely not something sand bandits could create. Just like that Iron Alliance Order, its construction was precise, requiring strong industrial manufacturing capabilities!

"Then we suggest we retreat to the fleet first, to avoid its edge." Monica watched as the sandstorm, like a dark cloud, was about to sweep in, and couldn't help but say.

"Let's go, it's all solved, let's head back to Akse, wait for the sandstorm to pass, and then assess the material losses."

Everyone nodded and immediately turned directions, heading towards Akse.

At this time, the Joint Train had already entered the platform at Akse. The train over a dozen kilometers long stretched across the wide Gobi Desert. Inside the city, Hu Lushou, Chen Sixuan, Lu Zhao, and others had cleared the sand bandits within the city. Upon receiving notification from Lin Xian and the others, they immediately gathered all survivors back into the vehicles to avoid the sandstorm.

"Lin... Captain Lin! There will be Abnormal Bodies in the sandstorm, make sure to keep quiet!"

Hu Lushou used a communicator to tell Lin Xian, reminding them to be cautious, then hurriedly retreated to the nuclear explosion basement in the Black Rose Bar with Sun Chang.

"Everyone pay attention, don't make any vibrating sounds after entering the vehicles."

Lin Xian scanned the disk device, knowing it would emit a peculiar vibration. Though not entirely clear about it, he at least knew vibrations might trigger problems.

Very soon, including Infinity, all members of the Joint Train returned to the train, locked doors, closed windows, and for safety, Lin Xian arranged for all fleets to shut down all electrical equipment, including water purifiers and air conditioning systems, keeping absolute silence inside.

He arrived at the cockpit, looking out through the porthole. It seemed the northeastern sky was tearing apart.

A sand wall over a thousand meters high was coming at a speed of 80 kilometers per hour, the top swirling with clouds of sand like a tsunami. At the base of the sand wall, entrapped small stones and various waste oil drums rumbled loudly. The wind was no longer moving air but a solid sandpaper, the sound of sand grains scraping the rock wall transforming from low-frequency humming to knife-like wailing, mixed with cries, unsure if real or hallucinatory.

Suddenly, the sandstorm poured down like night, devouring the whole Gobi Desert.

Meanwhile, on a rocky peak of a canyon in the distance, several young people wearing sand masks stood there, gazing towards the direction of the Joint Fleet. One of them pressed a recorder to start recording a log, issuing a muffled voice beneath the mask.

"Time, D-99, Western Desert Akse region, discovered unknown Taboo Item, temporarily numbered 0051, the containment is a Fire Power superpower user..."
