Apocalypse: I Build A Doomsday Train

"There's no way, some things can't be said too clearly. If I spell it out, it won't work anymore."

Xie Guan's eyes lit up: "So Boss Hu had already seen that Wu Dapeng was a sand bandit, and this was a game of playing hard to get!"

Hu Lushou nodded without any blush or heartbeat, proudly saying, "Of course, I saw that dog's ugly face a long time ago!@"

Lu Zhao looked wistful: "So the route Boss Hu talked about following the northern railway line actually meant for us to follow Captain Lin and their gigantic joint fleet into the no-man's land. I finally understand now."

"Who would have thought we could completely wipe out Lao Xie's group of sand bandits? It's so satisfying!" Xie Guan and the others echoed repeatedly, "This group should have gone to hell long ago!"

"Exactly, exactly..." Hu Lushou grinned widely, baring his Big Gold Tooth, chuckling, but in fact, he was only internally sighing with relief.

He initially thought Lin Xian's side was still at the previous scale of Hengshan Pass but didn't expect them to have a formidable strength of over 4,000 people.

With such strength, they could directly sweep through the sand bandits and proceed grandly past Akse without issue. Now Hu Lushou also guessed that Lin Xian orchestrated this not only to prevent future troubles but also with an intention to seize the sand bandits' resources, also conveniently ridding other survivors of a menace. It was indeed a case of killing three birds with one stone.

Sun Chang, standing nearby, cast him a disdainful glance, long used to this guy's knack for putting a golden face on himself with sweet talk, bowing decisively in private, yet now putting on a facade of confidence and strategic foresight.

Bang.

At this moment, the door of the Black Rose Bar swung open, and a group of people marched in. These were all the leaders and core members of the Joint Train. After clearing out the sand bandits, Lin Xian and Shi Deyuan called everyone here, partly to discuss the division among the strongholds of several sand bandits' lairs, and partly to make some preparations as they were about to enter the no-man's land. This was Hu Lushou's territory, with wine and meat, and they could have a drink while at it.

"Captain Lin!"

Seeing Lin Xian and the others come in, Hu Lushou's eyes lit up immediately. He rushed over with a teary face and lowered his voice, saying

"Boss, why didn't you tell me you have so many people? It scared me half to death, I've been on edge all morning."

"Ho!" Shi Deyuan exclaimed as soon as he came in, "You actually set up a place for drinking, just right. Let's get everything arranged quickly and clear out the sand bandits' strongholds before dark, stay here for the night, and head into the no-man's land tomorrow!"

"Clearing out the strongholds, huh, I'm really good at that," Hu Lushou's spirits lifted immediately upon hearing this: "Those sand bandits have been entrenched in this place for quite a while, there must be a lot of good stuff. Hehe, when the time comes we can..."

Lin Xian glanced at him, patting him on the shoulder: "Oh right, Boss Hu is an expert in this, the convoy specializes in this, there's a whole bunch of guys for loading and unloading, how about this... We've already handled the job of taking out the sand bandits, so Boss Hu can personally lead the team to clear out the old nests, alright."

Upon hearing this, Hu Lushou was actually dumbfounded, what the heck, I'm supposed to go myself?

"Hey, no, no, no, that's the sand bandits' old nest, Captain Lin, are you comfortable letting me go alone?"

"Why not." Lin Xian looked at Shi Deyuan and the other captains: "What do you all think?"

"No problem," Shi Deyuan chuckled: "We've been fighting all morning, we could use a break too."

"The wind and sand outside are so big, I don't want to go on a long chase again," Monica at this time found a suitable spot and sat down.

Hearing Lin Xian's arrangement, the group also quickly came in and found a place to sit down, leaving Hu Lushou standing in place with a puzzled look on his face.

He was dumbfounded.

Although clearing out resources was something he liked best, the premise had to be safety. Although the main force of the sand bandits had been taken care of, their old nests would definitely still have defensive forces; sending Hu Lushou himself there was no different from stepping on a landmine, right?

"Boss Hu, please bear with it this time."

Lin Xian said as he took out a mobile terminal and handed it to him: "These are the suspicious locations I've pinpointed, all dangerous, easily defended, and hard to attack spots. You must pay more attention to your safety!"

At this moment, Lu Zhao and the others were a bit baffled upon hearing Lin Xian's words.

Hu Lushou looked at everyone, his face turned pale immediately, he rushed over in a panic and said

"Don't, don't, don't, there's no way I can handle so many strongholds with this number of people. Captain Lin, you..."

"Can't handle it?" Lin Xian said looking troubled: "We rescued you, helped you take care of the main force and leaders of the sand bandits, and you want to avoid this little task, not very appropriate, right."

"Exactly, exactly, we helped you, and you haven't shown any appreciation yet." KIKI said with a cheerful smile.

Shi Deyuan also said aloud: "Then it's a hard task for Boss Hu."

Upon hearing this, Hu Lushou's face turned a sickly green and white. He realized now that Lin Xian's words clearly intended him to cough up some benefits.

Thinking about this, Hu Lushou's heart ached, knowing he couldn't dodge this bullet, so he simply put on a solemn expression

"Captain Lin, don't say anymore, these sand bandits have done countless evils, bringing disaster to the land, plundering who knows how many survivors trying to escape. Under the guise of charging tolls, I've stabilized them and bought Akse's brothers and sisters a breath. Now that you've finally come to rid us of this menace, during this time, I've secretly collected a lot of information about their activities. Many suspicious locations can be eliminated, saving time!"
