Doomsday: I Build an Infinite Train.

Chapter 315 Aksai! (Seeking monthly votes at the beginning of the month!)
The two vehicles traveled along the Gobi Desert beside the railway towards Aksai. The wheels crushed the gravel and yellow sand, and the vibrations of the engines made the sand and withered grass on the ground shake.

At this moment, the two vehicles turned and drove up a hillside, stopping below a huge wind-eroded rock. Then everyone got out of the car and walked to the cliff of a sand dune. In the distance, a town appeared in the vast wilderness, sitting alone in the middle of a large Gobi Desert. This Aksai was passed by the national highway and the northern railway line. It was a bit larger than the previous Lop Town. The entire town was also covered by sand and dust, the same color as the Gobi Desert.

There are no tall buildings; the vast majority of the buildings are old, low-rise houses in the west. Some of the more modern roads and streets are now desolate and occupied by yellow sand.

Several people took out electronic binoculars and looked towards Aksai City. The town looked deserted, but there were quite a few convoys stationed in the city. Lin Xian adjusted the direction of the binoculars and observed outside Aksai City. Along the national highway, he saw many convoys of refugees who had fled, clustered together near an abandoned gas station. After observing, this was different from what Lin Xian had expected when he heard the radio broadcast earlier.

“Didn’t they say that other convoys and armed personnel are prohibited from entering the city?” Ning Jing held up her electronic binoculars and said in a low voice, “It seems like no one is paying attention.”

"Abai?"

Ah Bai shook his head, indicating that he hadn't found anything.

Qian Dele said, "These caravans should all be ordinary caravans, but their gathering here might be related to the Sand Bandit Alliance."

"You mean you're wary?" Monica asked.

Qian Dele said calmly, "It's not necessarily out of fear. Some people might just find it troublesome. There are zombies everywhere here, and the spiritual energy level is not low. There will definitely be strange creatures appearing at night. After Aksai, there are thousands of kilometers of no-man's land. It's best to travel quickly during the day. So for people like us, the less trouble we have, the better. Those bandits are taking advantage of this mentality of the survivors."

Monica put down her binoculars and said calmly, "With so many large caravans gathered here, they don't seem to take the sand bandits seriously."

Lin Xian looked at KIKI, who was operating the mobile terminal, and asked, "How is it?"

“Hehe, you guessed right. This Iron Alliance Token really is like the Phoenix Token, able to receive information packets from nearby areas. Many similar signal characteristics have appeared near Aksai.” KIKI tapped her finger lightly and continued, “But there are none inside Aksai. It seems they dare not attack Aksai directly.”

Lin Xian nodded: "Sand bandits are only good at harassing and bullying small caravans. There are dozens of caravans here with at least one or two thousand people stationed here. Unless the sand bandits have lost their minds, they would not attack this place."

Ning Jing frowned and said, "Then why does this Fu Lu Shou caravan dare to collect tolls here?"

"Seeing is believing, hearing is deceiving." Lin Xian's gaze sharpened as he looked towards the distant town, and he conjured a signal antenna several meters high behind him. "But since he dares to make such a statement in front of so many convoys, there must be a reason."

After speaking, Lin Xian pressed the communicator and started adjusting the signal communication with the joint train.

"Test, Teacher Chen, can you hear me?"

"Buzz... Lin Xian, you can hear me now."

"Brother Shi."

"Hey, Brother Lin, what's up?"

After establishing a connection with the joint train through the signal pillars he had built along the way, Lin Xian immediately instructed: "Brother Shi, Teacher Chen, the joint train can travel another 100 miles. Then, as previously agreed, organize 10 assault teams. I will give you the coordinates later. Disperse and act."

"okay!"

Lin Xian immediately stood up and said to everyone, "Our people have arrived. Let's go into the city and meet that old friend."

"I heard there's even a bar in this desolate place, that's interesting." Qian Dele became interested: "It's definitely much freer than staying in the polar night."

Monica walked to the car and was about to get in when she suddenly said to Lin Xian, "Wait a moment."

After saying that, she activated her power armor and stepped out, took off her inner shirt, changed into a desert sun-protective windbreaker, put on sunglasses and a sand-proof scarf, leaving Lin Xian stunned. This woman even had casual clothes stored in her power armor...

The two off-road vehicles started up again, speeding towards Aksai City through the sandstorm. Waves of heat swept across the wilderness, and scattered zombies kept rushing towards the vehicles.

Cengceng!

At this moment, two silver blades shot out, swirling like a storm and buzzing along the horizon, instantly slicing away all the zombies attacking from both sides of the convoy.

Sitting in the passenger seat, KIKI's eyes shimmered with psychic energy, and a slight smile played on her lips: "It's really useful."

Lin Xian frowned and looked at her: "Where did you take it? I didn't see it."

"On the roof," KIKI pointed upwards. "I only brought two to try them out."

Lin Xian smiled and said, "This move is pretty good. It's excellent for clearing out monster hordes and zombie hordes."

"I just don't know if we can cut through those weird creatures. We'll give it a try," KIKI replied.

Monica, sitting in the back seat, listened to their conversation with a smile on her face: "Captain Lin, how come all the people who work with you are so capable? How did you recruit your team members?"

“Recruitment?” Upon hearing the word “recruitment,” Lin Xian recalled that when he was in Jiang City, he had posted an ad to recruit members for the Infinite Train Project, but he hadn’t found a single one. Chen Sixuan and KIKI were, to some extent, outside the plan.

He replied while driving, "No, we met them all along the way."

A dazzling light appeared ahead. As the two off-road vehicles approached the outskirts of the city, many eyes using binoculars fell on them. Looking around, the outskirts of Aksai were filled with the dried corpses of zombies. Some convoys had their camps set up at gas stations or motels outside the city, while most drove directly into the city and camped in the streets, big and small.

The car rolled over the sand and gravel onto the cracked town road. Along the roadside and on some rooftops, various armed survivor sentries cast their gazes at them. These convoys had gathered from different places, each operating independently, with little communication between them. However, as travelers, they had an unspoken understanding that they could roughly tell the style of a convoy just by looking at the vehicles. Lin Xian's two off-road vehicles were clearly not their main vehicles for escaping eastward, but rather they were there to scout ahead.

This situation is not uncommon. Many cautious convoys will scout ahead before the main convoy enters. Places like Aksai are usually crowded with people who come to rest or gather information, so there won't be a very lively scene.

Lin Xian followed Ning Jing's car through many twists and turns, and finally found the Black Rose Bar next to an old market. The street was full of parked cars. If it weren't for the old signboard of the bar covered with yellow sand, the dilapidated surroundings, and the various post-apocalyptic modifications of the vehicles, one would have thought that this was a bustling street before the apocalypse.

Next to the parked vehicles on the street were many fully armed survivors, all from various convoys. As soon as Lin Xian and his group got out of the car, they attracted a lot of attention because they were too young and their appearance and makeup did not look like the weathered people who had been fleeing for months in the apocalypse. Strange looks were frequently cast at them.

"Is this a real bar or just a front? I feel a little uneasy..." Qian Dele looked at the people constantly going in and out of the bar entrance with a strange expression.

Monica raised her face, her eyes behind her sunglasses surveying her surroundings: "There is a bit of a problem. I'm curious, what do we do here at night?"

"You'll know once you go in and take a look," Ning Jing said.

Lin Xian and his group walked forward, only to be met by two burly men in power armor standing at the entrance of the bar. They raised their hands to block their way, and one of them pointed at Xiao Qing in the group.

"Sorry, weapons are not allowed."

The group consisted of people with superpowers, but Xiaoqing, who was carrying a gun-blade, was stopped.

Xiaoqing glanced at Ning Jing and said directly, "I'll guard the car."

After saying that, she turned around and went back to the car.

"Alright." Ning Jing nodded, and the two burly men immediately let her pass.

Upon entering the Black Rose Bar, the scene suddenly brightened up. Unlike the yellow sand and dilapidated signboard at the entrance, the previously abandoned interior had been cleaned up. A smell of alcohol mixed with the dust of the journey immediately hit the air. The bar was lit with dim yellow lights, and the individual tables and bar counter were full of people. The bartenders at the bar were two men wearing sunglasses, and the waitresses were several beautiful women.

Judging from their attire, it was obvious that they were all temporarily playing roles, and the people who came in all had some purpose, quietly drinking the limited selection of drinks available.

Just as Lin Xian was marveling at Hu Lushou's incomprehensible actions, a female waitress with a tattoo on her face walked over, her eyes clearly showing that killing zombies was easier than this job, and she impatiently said to the group...
"Gentlemen, this way please."

As she spoke, she led Lin Xian and the others inside.

Lin Xian followed behind the waitress, looking around and noticing that many eyes were on them. At this moment, he noticed an unusual gaze and turned to look. He saw a young man wearing a sand mask sitting alone in a corner, staring at him without moving. His eyes were long and narrow, giving him a sharp and indifferent feeling.

Lin Xian paid special attention to the young man. He was dressed like a traveler from the desert, with a bag next to him, but nothing else.

In addition, Lin Xian also noticed several rather unfriendly gazes, but when he looked over, those people looked away.

The waitress led Lin Xian and his group to a booth further inside, then took out a card and tossed it on the table, listing three types of drinks.

Whiskey, rum, brandy.

"We're not here to drink," Lin Xian said bluntly. "We're here to see your boss."

The waitress glanced around the bar and said to Lin Xian, "They're not here to drink."

"Then what do you mean by giving us this?" KIKI asked.

“If I’m not mistaken, these three types of wine represent three different things.” Monica picked up the card and calmly said to the waitress, “Buying supplies, buying information, or tolls?”

The waitress glanced at her and said, "Yes."

Ning Jing looked bewildered: "You guys really do charge tolls?"

"It doesn't matter, it's up to you whether you pay or not," the waitress said bluntly. "If you're powerful enough, then you don't need to consider it."

Qian Dele smiled upon hearing this, looked at the group, and chuckled softly, "As expected, what they said on the radio was just alarmist talk."

Lin Xian understood and pointed directly at the whiskey.

Snapped.

The waitress tossed a pen to Lin Xian, gesturing for him to write on it himself.

Lin Xian thought for a moment, then wrote down his needs on the card. The waitress picked it up, glanced at it, and immediately frowned, giving Lin Xian a very strange look: "Are you sure?"

"I am sure."

"Okay... okay."

The waitress had never seen such a strange demand for supplies before. Her eyes kept sweeping over the group of people before she went to the bar, gave them a few instructions, and then went through a small door.

Not long after, another waiter brought over six glasses of chilled whiskey. Monica smiled, picked up a glass, and looked at it: "Not bad, quite professional."

KIKI picked it up and took a sip: "Hmm, not bad. Looks like this guy got a lot of supplies, even has so many kinds of drinks."

Ning Jing looked around: "There are quite a few people..."

“Those who come here all know something about the bandits. After Aksai, there is a huge no-man's land. Even if our train doesn't stop, it will take at least a day and a night to get to Quancheng. So those who come here will be more cautious. They will try to find out some information or join a tour group. It's better than blindly venturing into the no-man's land,” Qian Dele said calmly, arms crossed.

"Ah Bai," Lin Xian said, looking at Ah Bai who was silent to the side, "Dark Mark, can you feel it?"

Ah Bai put down the cup with both hands and nodded to Lin Xian: "Yes, a lot."

Ning Jing said, "Now that there's a method to detect dark marks, it's not easy to form a group. Others will check if your team members have dark marks, otherwise you'll just be asking for trouble."

Qian Dele nodded: "Without the protection of a large convoy, those carrying the Dark Mark will have to find their own way to deal with it."

"Not just any racing team can be found."

Lin Xian glanced at Monica, the wine enthusiast who was tasting wine. While others hadn't even had a proper sip, she had already downed her drink in one gulp.

"Monica, could you keep an eye out for a few people for me?"

"Oh~" Monica looked at him with great interest: "Tell me, and see if it's the same as my guess."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xian lowered his voice and explained it to her. Monica's eyes lit up: "Bingo!"

"Captain Lin, what did you notice?" Ning Jing asked at this moment.

Lin Xian looked at her and spoke softly.

"Sand bandits."

Ning Jing immediately frowned.

……

In a brightly lit, secret basement of the bar, the floor was covered with a thick carpet, and various supplies were piled up in the corner. An old-fashioned fan whirred and whirred. Hu Lushou, dressed in shorts and a shirt, was solemnly putting strange blood essence into a metal box.

“98, 99, 100…” “Damn it.”

Hu Lushou grinned, revealing his large gold teeth, and spat inwardly. He then put away the metal box. Facing so many first-level blood essences, he didn't seem happy at all; instead, he looked worried.

Several such metal boxes were placed in the basement at that time.

Hu Lushou paced anxiously back and forth, glancing at a special communicator on a low table every now and then, but the light on it kept flashing red.

With a clang, the heavy alloy door was opened. This basement was originally a small nuclear explosion shelter. After all, Aksai was a former nuclear explosion town, and many atomic weapons testing sites were located in a secret base here.

The person who walked in at that moment was none other than his deputy, Sun Chang.

Sun Chang's mechanical arm seemed to have undergone a systematic upgrade, and her entire body was replaced with red armor components, making her appear to have greatly increased her strength.

"boss."

"Don't bother me, I'm annoyed right now." Hu Lushou plopped down on the messy sofa, his face full of arrogance.

“An acquaintance has come to visit.” Sun Chang walked over with a cold face and handed a card to Hu Lushou with her robotic arm.

Hu Lushou was puzzled by what he heard. He looked at the card, paused for a moment, and then snatched it and held it up to his eyes.

"Order 1000 Xinghuo Type 26 fully automatic tactical rifles? Who would be so stupid as to do that..."

Before the word "compare" could even be uttered, Hu Lushou's eyes immediately narrowed. He looked up at Sun Chang and then at the card in his hand.

"Who gave it to you?"

"They're right outside, three men and four women. Their spiritual energy fluctuations are extremely high, though not at their peak, but... these seven people alone are enough to turn this bar upside down," Sun Chang said calmly.

Hu Lushou's expression shifted rapidly as he hurriedly called out to Sun Chang, "Quick, quick, invite them all in!!"

Sun Chang glanced at him, said nothing, and turned to leave.

Hu Lushou immediately started pacing around the room in a panic. He was about to hide the boxes containing the blood essence, but after thinking about it, he changed his mind. Instead, he straightened his clothes, swept the messy sofa clean, found a bottle of fine wine in his private wine cabinet, and quickly took out a few glasses.

Shortly after, footsteps came from the stairs. Hu Lushou turned around and saw Sun Chang leading Lin Xian and the others into the basement.

"Wow, there's such a big space down here." KIKI looked around curiously as soon as she came in.

Upon hearing the voice, Hu Lushou immediately recognized the other person: "Captain Lin?"

Lin Xian took off his windproof mask and looked at Hu Lushou, who was wearing shorts and a shirt, and couldn't help but say, "Boss Hu, you really are something else. You've even gone so far as to do business with the bandits."

Sizzle!
The alloy explosion-proof door slowly closed, and in the spacious basement, Lin Xian, KIKI, Qian Dele, Monica, Ning Jing, and A Bai were invited by Hu Lushou to sit down in the reception area. He then poured them drinks without stopping, and said with a big smile, "Captain Lin, oh my, that's great, what brings you all here?"

“We’d like to ask you the same thing,” KIKI said, slamming her hand on the table. “Tell us, what’s this about charging the bandits tolls?”

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to Hu Lushou.

Sun Chang stood to the side, still wearing a poker face.

Hu Lushou paused in his pouring of wine, a sheepish smile spreading across his face. "Since we're all acquaintances, I won't hide anything from you. Actually, it's like this..."

He cleared his throat, sat down on the sofa, and said, "Bandits are rampant here. Recently, they even formed some kind of alliance, which is infamous and rife with evil. Countless caravans have been robbed, murdered, raped, and all sorts of other things by them. I, upholding justice, resolutely stood up and vowed to..."

"to be honest."

Suddenly, Sun Chang spoke up, showing no respect whatsoever to her boss.

Lin Xian smiled at Hu Lushou, glanced at the time on his watch, and said, "It's getting dark, so don't waste your time. I just want to know what this toll fee is all about. If possible, it would be good to know a little about the movements of the bandits."

Hu Lushou's eyes changed slightly: "Actually, it's not that complicated. As soon as I arrived here, I encountered the bandits. But I negotiated with them and said that I could help them collect tolls. Any caravan that pays the toll will be given a special signal device. After that, when we go to Quancheng, the bandits along the way will turn a blind eye. That's the idea."

"So you cooperated with the bandits to save your life?" Ning Jing asked coldly.

"That's wrong!"

Hu Lushou immediately stood up and retorted, "You don't know, since I made this deal with the Iron Alliance of Sand Bandits, the number of attacks in the entire Western Gobi Desert has decreased by at least 7%, 7%, folks. Even if you don't grant me a place in the Imperial Ancestral Temple, you should at least be grateful."

Lin Xian chuckled upon hearing this, then stood up as well: "I don't know about the Imperial Ancestral Temple, but those bandits around Aksai must have prepared an Iron Temple for you to go in and have some fun."

After saying that, he made a move to leave.

"Captain Lin, help me!"

Before Lin Xian could finish speaking, Hu Lushou's smug expression instantly changed. He knelt down on the ground with a thud, pleading, "Don't go, don't go! I'll tell you everything, please!"

"Wow, you knelt down pretty fast!" KIKI exclaimed in surprise.

The others were also somewhat taken aback.

On the contrary, Hu Lushou's deputy, Sun Chang, had a disdainful expression that suggested she was used to it, as if she had seen her boss kneel down many times before.

After Lin Xian sat down again, Hu Lushou hurriedly stood up and said with a complicated expression.

"To be honest, Captain Lin, you might not believe it, but besides making money and saving my life, there's another reason I do this: to help those small car fleets find a way to survive."

Lin Xian looked at him: "Do you even believe that yourself?"

"Those are bandits, do you think they'd be honest?" Qian Dele said sarcastically. "Even if they were, five people for one blood essence, you're just profiting from banditry."

Hu Lushou sighed and said, "Of course I know that the bandits are unreliable."

"Then you still..."

Hu Lushou raised his hand, signaling him to finish speaking.

He pushed aside the cup on the low table, revealing a map of Aksai underneath. He then pointed to the map and said...

"Because of Star Abyss No. 5, Haiqu is no longer passable, so Aksai is the main transportation route to Quancheng. Of course, I know that one Blood Essence for five people is very expensive, and I also know that even if we pay the Blood Essence, those sand bandits won't really restrain themselves. It's just that a few large bandit groups in this area are behaving a little better because they've paid the toll to them, but the ones in other places won't. They call themselves the Alliance, but I spit on them. How could a bunch of doomsday thugs have any morality?"

“But the key is that as long as these surviving caravans gather in Aksai, whether to pay tolls or to rest, with so many caravans here, those bandits won’t dare to harass or plunder, after all…” He glanced at Lin Xian, then chuckled somewhat guiltily, “quite a few people did pay tolls…”

After saying that, he immediately became serious: "So, the convoys here can do one thing, regardless of whether they pay the toll or not."

"What is it?" KIKI asked.

"Form an alliance!" Hu Lushou slammed his hand on the table and said seriously, "Because those bandits only target small and medium-sized caravans. They don't dare to mess with any larger caravans. So if small and medium-sized caravans can unite here, they will be much safer."

"Oh~" KIKI looked at him with interest: "So you mean that you provided such a platform, ostensibly to collect tolls, but actually to warn passing caravans that there are bandits here, so that they can band together for warmth and get through the difficulties together?"

"That's right!" Hu Lushou clapped his hands, looking touched that his good intentions had finally been recognized.

Lin Xian looked at him and said, "We've encountered those bandits before. They're involved in kidnapping and robbery, and the weapons they carry aren't ordinary. There must be a large organization supporting them. If that's the case, why would they agree to cooperate with you?"

Hu Lushou smiled upon hearing this: "Actually, the bandits aren't stupid. No matter who they cooperate with, it's all for profit. Kidnapping and robbery involve knives and guns and people dying. On my side, he can collect benefits without firing a single shot. If I were a bandit, I would agree too."

"And another thing," Hu Lushou suddenly leaned closer, his face serious.
“Those people in the large caravans outside don’t really take the bandits seriously, because the biggest danger in this place isn’t the bandits at all.”

You mean the night?

Hu Lushou nodded: "The Western Gobi Desert has a big problem: sandstorms. Even during the day, strange creatures appear in sandstorms, the most common of which is something called sand ants. Those things are endless. Even the interstellar army has to hide here. Moreover, any open field is very likely to have strange creatures, and it's very difficult to avoid the dark markers. There were people who were lucky enough to find the right direction and escape back from the no-man's-land. They saw some kind of terrifying atmospheric creature there that swallowed people and vehicles into the air..."

He went on and on, speaking to Lin Xian with an air of seriousness: "Moreover, I know of some information: a forbidden object has appeared in the no-man's land!"

"Forbidden items?!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xian, KIKI, and the others all exclaimed in surprise.

“Yes,” Hu Lushou said mysteriously, “Because of this, the Federation’s Angel Project sent people here, and there is also an organization that specializes in studying forbidden objects, called something like… Divine Revelation, which has also appeared in Aksai, and their whereabouts are shrouded in mystery!”

“Divine Revelation? I’ve heard of that name.” Monica crossed her arms and said, “It’s also a branch that split off from the Angel Project, belonging to the Advent Faction, but this organization is quite mysterious, and I haven’t heard about it much.”

Lin Xian nodded: "I've heard of it too."

Hu Lushou then said, "That's why I said the bandits aren't the most troublesome problem. Now, at night, no matter if you have the Dark Mark on you or not, you absolutely cannot move. Even the most notorious bandits have to obediently hide in their dungeons."

Lin Xian glanced at Ning Jing, their eyes met, and in their view, this information was even more important than that of the sand bandits.

“It seems that this uninhabited area from Aksai to Quancheng is the biggest problem for us,” Ning Jing said.

"Mr. Hu, what are the specific characteristics of this sand ant?" Lin Xianchao asked Hu Lushou.

"This one……"

“They eat people.” At this moment, Sun Chang, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up: “When sand ants pass through, they devour everything in their path. You can only hide in a car, and you must be heavily protected. Once they burrow in, there will be no trace of your body.”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Hu Lushou nodded vigorously. "That's not even the scariest thing. Deep in that no-man's-land, there are many bizarre creatures you can't even imagine, a hundred and twenty times more terrifying than what we encountered at Hengshan Pass!!!"

Lin Xian breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this and looked at Hu Lushou: "Thank you for the information, Boss Hu. Now, tell me, how do you want me to help you?"

Seeing Lin Xian's satisfaction, Hu Lushou immediately put on a troubled expression and said, "Right now, I receive a lot of blood essence every day, and every three days people from the Sand Scorpion Gang and the Crimson Vulture Group come to collect their share of the toll. If I leave, wouldn't these small caravans...?"

Lin Xian raised his hand to stop him: "That's useless. What you need to do now is save your own life."

Hu Lushou, who was about to get emotional, gave an awkward smile: "Nothing much, Captain Lin. I'm in a bind now. Although I only took 20% of the profits, if I leave, those bandits will definitely not let me go. They'll definitely use me and then wipe out my entire regiment. So I've contacted a few caravans, thinking..."

"Do you want to band together with them to form a big group and then leave?" KIKI laughed.

Hu Lushou nodded.

“Oh, that’s unfortunate.” Monica said politely, “We’ve already found out that your plan has been exposed. There are at least three spies from bandit groups watching you in the bar outside. Even if the whole city runs away, they won’t let you escape.”

"Who told you to be so fat?" Qian Dele looked at the room full of rare supplies and boxes of blood essence, and couldn't help but click his tongue and say, "You're quite the talent, taking on this kind of dangerous work."

"Captain Lin, save me!"

Before anyone could react, Hu Lushou knelt down again with a thud. Even Sun Chang couldn't bear to watch any longer and closed her eyes, saying...
"What Lin and his team want is information about the sand bandits."

Hu Lushou stopped crying abruptly, looked up at Lin Xian and said, "Lin... Captain Lin, these bandits have at least five or six hundred men in total, and they have a lot of weapons. You can't possibly be a match for them."

Based on Hu Lushou's understanding of Lin Xian, even though the Infinite has heavy artillery and superhuman experts, the entire team only has thirty people. How can they fight against those sand bandits?

"so."

Lin Xian said seriously, "With your caution, you must have investigated the strongholds of those bandits who come to collect tolls, right?"

"What...what are you going to do? Aren't you afraid these bandits will unite and..." Hu Lushou asked, looking puzzled.

Lin Xian shook his head and looked at Hu Lushou earnestly, saying:

"I'm afraid they'll run away."
