Apocalypse: I Build A Doomsday Train

"So, acquaintances?"

Qian Deli, just returned from leading the team, was holding a hairdryer and blowing his sweat as he stepped onto the platform. He, along with Hu Lushou and his group, had swept through several of the Earth Dragon Association's bases, making quite a haul.

Lin Xian nodded: "An old friend from before, but appearing here is rather odd."

After saying this, he looked back at Hu Lushou, who was walking along with Sun Chang and the others, showing an excited expression.

According to Lao Mo, they had followed Silent City and got caught in Star Abyss No.5, and then appeared in the Western Desert, a bizarre situation.

"Oh my, Captain Lin, you have no idea, that Bone Dragon is truly like a slippery eel, the stuff hidden in the caves is more than my entire group combined, ha, we've really hit the jackpot this time." Hu Lushou said with a cheerful smile.

On the other side, Chen Sixuan, Ning Jing, and Shi Deyuan, having finished inventory, also gathered around.

"Red Eagle's assets aren't small either, this guy, left quite a few people at his base, at least seventy or eighty." Ning Jing said sternly, "Looks like he kept backups, and didn't defend against us."

"Guarding against peers, I've faced the same issue, spent quite some effort." Qian Deli shrugged, "Tsk, what Iron Alliance, thinking to have a bunch of bandits cooperate intimately is sheer lunacy."

Chen Sixuan explained the situation at the Sand Scorpion Gang, mentioning that there was a luxurious palace in the bunker housing over a dozen 'concubines,' leaving everyone speechless.

Actually, Lin Xian had seen this kind of situation post-apocalypse many times, starting in Jiang City, the Oasis Caravan's Liu Wei was a prime example, just acquired superpowers, immediately recruited and married, kicking off the chaotic human carnival after the rules collapsed, only his bad luck was to encounter Lin Xian just after leaving Jiang City...

But even so, everyone was still shocked hearing about Lao Xie's situation.

"Ha, this scum, heard he's quite strong, how didn't he die in a woman's arms." Shi Deyuan snorted, "Damn these sand bandits, all of them, even crushing them is a mercy."

As he said this, he looked at Lin Xian appreciatively, "Lin, your method is satisfying, didn't you also rescue those girls, later tell them about this, let them vent!"

Lin Xian replied seriously: "Brought back dozens, even hundreds, how to handle them?"

"Let's first survey their situation." Ning Jing said, "And collect some information, then we'll discuss tonight."

Lin Xian nodded, he was thinking the same.

Hu Lushou stood beside, rubbing his hands eagerly: "Hey hey hey fellow captains, this journey through the no-man's land, our caravans followed all the way, if there's any task you can count on us."

"Follow if you can, but let me say first." Shi Deyuan crossed his arms, gazing at Hu Lushou: "All actions follow commands, stop when needed, move when told, close windows and lights promptly, or else..."

"No worries!" Hu Lushou flashed his Big Gold Tooth and patted his chest confidently: "In the no-man's land we're all in the same boat, we definitely won't hold back!"

"Alright, you go back and prepare." Shi Deyuan told him.

Hu Lushou's smile froze upon hearing, thinking he'd just finished inventorying the sand bandits' stash, ready to divide the spoils, being told to return, what does that mean, he looked at Lin Xian helplessly, as if saying: Big boss, I've turned in those two shares, I'm one of you now, aided in clearing the base, should at least get some reward.

Lin Xian saw Hu Lushou's expression, couldn't help but smile, and said directly: "Let's first talk about the loot then.."

"Ey! Sure!" Hu Lushou's eyes brightened at Lin Xian's words, immediately getting spirited.

Led by Chen Sixuan, Qian Deli, and Ning Jing, sweeping from the Sand Scorpion Gang, Red Vulture Group, and Earth Dragon Association, totalling 8 bases, returned with a huge haul of resources, plus what the three caravans had cleared in the morning, now piled into a small mountain outside the Akse Station Platform.

Among them, 1126 Level 1 Blood Essences, 94 Second-level Blood Essences.

A variety of canned fish, meat, beans, fruits, and vegetables, along with dehydrated food like biscuits and chocolate, filled several trucks, totaling at least a dozen tons, also plenty of honey, sugar, salt, oil, and other supplies.

Then there's weaponry, over a thousand various automatic rifles, more than twenty Arc Pulse Cannons, over a hundred rocket launchers, drones in the hundreds, along with light and heavy machine guns, mortars, aerial mines, vehicle-mounted cannons, missiles, flame throwers, grenades, sniper rifles, shotguns, modified harpoons, and gas grenades, even dragged back three old-fashioned 155mm self-propelled artillery and an ammo-less self-propelled rocket launcher, along with various types of explosives, fuel, napalm, a whole bunch of miscellaneous stuff.

Aside from those bizarre contraptions turned killing weapons, most were high-quality Federation standard arms, clearly a tier above ordinary survivors, perhaps one reason the sand bandits could be so rampant in the Western Desert.

Additionally, the bottled or usable fresh water gathered from each base added up to only about 5 tons total, minus bottles and buckets, Lin Xian estimated just over 4 tons.
