Doomsday: I Build an Infinite Train.

Chapter 319 Bandit Siege
Bang bang bang, da da da!
At 9:15 a.m., the darkness of the sky dissipated, and the entire western Gobi Desert was once again bathed in daylight. The rising sun filled the vast Gobi Desert with the roar of engines and the crisp sound of gunfire.

Above the horizon, hundreds of extravagantly modified bandit vehicles were chasing the convoy of two survivors, rushing from the Sand Snake Pass all the way to Aksai, bumping and speeding wildly across the gravel beach, their tires crushing the weathered camel thorns with a crackling sound, like the mournful sound of bones being chewed up.

These bandits' vehicles, like a torrent of steel, stirred up rolling yellow sand across the Gobi Desert.

Leading the bandit convoy was a half-bulldozer with tank tracks welded to its front, and a flamethrower made from an oil pipe mounted on its roof. Red Eagle, the leader of the Crimson Vultures, wore a welded-on gas mask, from which came a distorted roar: "Men in cages, women captured alive!"

"Oh oh oh!!"

One sentence seemed to send the adrenaline soaring through the desert mob. The vehicles began to rev and scream, some men fired their rifles into the air, a modified off-road vehicle sped out of the convoy, and a mohawk-wearing thug carrying a rocket launcher stepped out from the roof of the vehicle. He then grinned at the convoy of survivors fleeing frantically not far ahead, revealing a mouthful of black teeth, and pulled the trigger.

Whoosh, boom!
The rocket exploded behind a modified SUV that was driving behind it, and immediately burst into flames. The entire vehicle was thrown forward, and the rear wheel on the side burst into flames as it tumbled out.

The car behind rushed up, laughing wildly as it threw Molotov cocktails at the shattered windows of the SUV. Boom! Flames exploded, and the survivors inside, who had not yet escaped, were engulfed in flames, howling and struggling in agony.

Meanwhile, the survivors in the convoy kept firing back. One of the arrogant thugs was instantly blasted apart by a jet of metal, half of his jaw hanging in the air, and the smell of blood instantly filled the air.

Upon seeing this scene, the rioters were not afraid at all; instead, they became even more excited!

In the middle of the convoy, a heavy monster truck with a gold body had two exaggerated exhaust pipes standing high at the back, billowing black smoke. A burly man wearing a razor mask and shirtless stood in the back of the pickup truck, holding a modified Gatling gun in one hand, and frantically spraying bullets at the rear windows of the survivor convoy. Blood and glass shards exploded in the driver's cab, and screams were swallowed by the roar of the engine.

In the passenger seat of this golden monster truck sat a middle-aged man with a gloomy, knife-like face and a burly build—Old Scorpion, the leader of the Sand Scorpion Gang.

He called himself the Desert Emperor, standing 1.9 meters tall with a waist twice the size of a normal person. His bare right arm was bulging with muscles like steel cables, and a breakdown diagram of a "man-eating chainsaw" was tattooed from the back of his hand to his forearm. His belly bulged out from under his open, studded leather armor, which he deliberately did not conceal. Two strands of hair hung from the sides of his bald head, making him look extremely greasy.

In the row behind him, two beautiful women with chains around their necks were giving him a shoulder massage, while the other would occasionally feed him ice cubes. He even sucked on the woman's fingers, and then he bit the ice cube hard, making a crunching sound.

At that moment, a signal light trailing red smoke slowly rose into the sky over the distant city of Aksai.

Upon seeing this, Old Scorpion picked up the walkie-talkie and said in a hoarse voice, "Red Eagle, Bone-Melting Dragon, Wu Lao Er has given the signal; the west side of the city is already blocked."

“I saw it.” The triangular eyes beneath Red Eagle’s gas mask gleamed red. “The convoy from yesterday didn’t enter the city. My men have already gone to their camp.”

"Old Bald Eagle, the women in that convoy are gorgeous. This time, you absolutely have to leave me one who hasn't been with them yet!"

The leader of the Earth Dragon Society, Hua Gulong, wore camouflage power armor. His thin face was full of shrewdness, but the dark bags under his eyes gave him the appearance of being hollowed out by wine and women.

"Don't worry." Red Eagle said coldly in his transformation device, "Old J's team is still active in Rob and hasn't returned yet. This time, I sent Ma Zi's team."

"damn it!"

Upon hearing this, Hua Gulong immediately cursed and said, "That old pockmarked man is even more of a pervert than Old J. What's the point of me playing with him? Speaking of which, why are all your men either beasts or perverts? Even the prostitutes in Camel Bell Village are afraid of him."

"Hahaha." Old Scorpion's unrestrained laughter rang out from the communicator.

"She's just a woman, so what if she's pretty? Tell your men to keep their eyes peeled, and don't let a single Aksai escape!"

"He can't escape." The Bone-Melting Dragon clicked his tongue. "In this damn desert, even if he flies into the sky, I can shoot him down!"

Buzz!
The convoy roared, and yellow sand billowed everywhere. Before long, the bandit convoy approached Aksai City, and abandoned buildings gradually appeared in the surrounding area.

The bandits pursued the survivors all the way to Aksai. They did not wipe out the two surviving convoys, but the armed forces that had been chasing them were basically crushed by the bandits' bloody methods. After forcing the terrified and fragmented survivor convoys into Aksai, the Scorpion Gang's vehicles began to slow down.

At the same time, bandit groups from the south of the city's Lame Slope and from the north of the city gradually began to converge, and soon these caravans began to circle around Aksai City, completely surrounding the city.

"Whoa whoa!!"

Large numbers of incendiary bombs, rockets, and remotely controlled suicide drones began bombarding the city, creating a scene of frenzied apocalyptic looting.

In an instant, explosions and gunfire filled the air above Aksai. Countless abandoned residential buildings and shops began to burn, with thick black smoke billowing into the sky and burning across the Gobi Desert plain.

"Fuck their grandpas!"

In a high-rise room, Lu Zhao, holding an electronic telescope, looked at the massive bandit convoy outside the city. His face was sharp. He picked up the walkie-talkie and shouted to his men, "Back up! Old Zhao, you take some men and block the front street. Don't let that bastard Wu Dapeng attack from behind!"

"it is good!"

In the square below, two unfortunate surviving caravans that had been ambushed suffered heavy losses. They had barely caught their breath as they fled back into the city when several groups of bandits rushed into the city and advanced along the streets and alleys.

Rat-a-tat-tat, bang-bang-bang!
The Dawn Chariots and the Aksai Brotherhood, who had already set up their defensive lines, immediately opened fire in retaliation. Hundreds of men unleashed fierce firepower, quickly suppressing the bandits' offensive momentum. The two chariots were finally able to catch their breath, drive their chariots into the square, organize the rescue of the wounded, and the combatants rushed up to resist.

Meanwhile, the main force of the bandits outside the city did not seem to be in a hurry to attack, but instead continued to harass the perimeter, laughing wildly as they watched the burning streets.

Boom!Boom!Boom!
Several loud thuds rang out, and several buildings outside the street square suddenly exploded, sending up layers of smoke and dust. A sand bandit superhuman covered in dirt and rocks charged through the buildings like a tank, appearing directly in front of the Dawn convoy. As the survivors turned their guns to defend themselves, a flying superhuman with eagle wings and a helmet suddenly swooped down from the sky. After killing several innocent survivors who had escaped from the burning cars with a burst of bullets, he arrogantly dropped several specially made dirty gas bombs into the defending convoy!

"Wuhu!"

rub!
The defending team was not to be outdone. One of the mimicry ability users burst out four or five tentacles from his hands, soared into the air, grabbed the bombs, and threw them back at the stone-type ability user.

Boom boom boom!
A brownish-yellow explosion rang out. One of the mimic's bombs was thrown too slowly, instantly turning one of his tentacles into a bloody mess.

"rocket missile!"

call out!call out!call out!
In the distance, three rockets arrived in an instant, exploding in front of the heavy trucks in the convoy's defensive line. The windows and bodies of the trucks shattered instantly, and a group of people were blown away by the flames and blast waves.

In the small city of Aksai, smoke and gunfire filled the air.

"Wu Dapeng! You son of a bitch!"

From the top of the building, Lu Zhao saw the approaching convoy and was immediately enraged.

A fierce offensive put immense pressure on the survivors, and casualties continued to rise.

The survivors managed to hold off the attack temporarily by relying on the streets and defensive lines. At this moment, the bandits seemed to have received some instructions. They launched a probing attack, but then stopped their offensive before everyone could react. The gunfire suddenly ceased.

"What's going on? Are you not playing anymore?"

"Ran?!"

"Retreat! Retreat! Pull the men back!" Xie Guan, who was directing the battle from below, shouted angrily with his eyes red. In just over ten minutes of probing attacks by the bandits, his side had already lost several men. The oppressive firepower filled him with despair and rage.

As the bandits withdrew their attack, the defending survivors realized something was wrong. The bandits seemed to have all hidden themselves away, and the heated exchange of fire suddenly quieted down, leaving only the sound of burning buildings.

Buzz... Squeak!
At that moment, a sharp, electrical hum from a loudspeaker rang out throughout Aksai.

On the main road leading out of the city in the east, the golden monster truck was parked in the middle of a group of guard vehicles. Old Scorpion picked up the megaphone, and his voice would be broadcast to Aksai through the loudspeakers that his underlings had just placed in several areas of the city.

"Ladies and gentlemen, unfortunately, we have disturbed this beautiful morning."

As the old scorpion spoke, he stroked the woman between his legs as if petting a cat, and said in a hoarse voice...
"My name is Old Scorpion. You may not have heard of me, but that's okay. All you need to know is that this is the person who sent you to hell. Our purpose here today is very simple, as you can all see. It's nothing more than you killing me, or me killing you all. Not complicated, right?"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

As soon as Old Scorpion finished speaking, the hundreds of bandits surrounding Aksai burst into various strange laughs.

The hoarse voice echoed through every street in Aksai City, making all the survivors look extremely heavy-hearted, as if facing a formidable enemy!
Beside the monster truck, Crimson Eagle of the Crimson Vulture Gang and Bone-Melting Dragon of the Earth Dragon Society both glanced at Old Scorpion, their eyes filled with madness.

"Oh~"

Feeling the woman's playful movements beneath him, Old Scorpion let out a comfortable sigh and continued...
"However, we bandits are actually reasonable. We're all just trying to make a living, and it doesn't necessarily have to be fighting and killing each other. For example, we agreed to cooperate with Boss Hu and collected tolls. So, protecting the safety of Aksai and clearing the way for your caravans is our duty and responsibility. Haven't we seen how safe Aksai has been during the day for the past two weeks?"

Old Scorpion smiled coldly: "But why are we here today? Well, we have no choice. The brothers are guarding everyone's safety and they've run out of food. You tell me, it makes perfect sense for us to do your job and get some compensation, right?"

"That's just what I'm talking about!!"

On the other side of the square, the Dawn team immediately raised a large loudspeaker and shouted into the distance.

At this moment, Lu Zhao, Xie Guan, and the two convoy captains who had escaped were gathered at the Black Rose Bar to discuss their strategy. Lu Zhao, who had a fiery temper, glared at Lao Xie and cursed, "Robbery is robbery! Stop spouting your damn nonsense! If you want to fight, then fight! Even if all of us die here, we'll see if half of your hundreds of men can survive!"

"Oh, he's got some tough nut to crack." Upon hearing this, Huagulong immediately sneered.

Old Scorpion snorted coldly, not angry at all, and said instead, "It doesn't sound like Boss Hu. By the way, where is Boss Hu? Tell him quickly that we are mainly looking for him today. The other convoys are innocent. Boss Hu has already paid your tolls. You can leave now without worry."

Upon hearing this, many people in the various convoys defending Aksai changed their expressions, and the morale of the originally solid defensive line seemed to be affected all at once.

"Is he telling the truth?"

"Damn it, those are bandits! You actually believe what they say?"

"What if it's true? The toll... if someone else pays it, then nothing will happen, right?"

"They've already stormed our doorstep, and you're still dreaming!"

At the Black Rose Bar, Hu Lushou's face immediately darkened upon hearing this. He glanced at the captains of the various car teams and quietly swallowed. Sun Chang, who was next to him, also realized that the other party was trying to divide their forces. Although it seemed straightforward, it was hard to guarantee that no one would lose their temper in this situation. Therefore, she also stepped forward cautiously.

Unexpectedly, Lu Zhao of the Dawn convoy glared angrily upon hearing this, then inexplicably laughed. He picked up the megaphone and sneered.

"Hahaha, no wonder he's a bandit leader. Even though he's mentally ill, he still knows a thing or two about military strategy."

"First you try to intimidate me, then you play the 'besieging the enemy and leaving an opening' trick, right? Trying to sow discord now? Do you think I'm stupid? Do you think I'll believe your bandit talk or that the strange creature tonight is a fair-skinned old woman?" Hu Lushou looked surprised when he heard Lu Zhao's words and couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.

"Captain Lu is truly a genius! He saw through the enemy's treacherous scheme in an instant!"

Lu Zhao tossed the megaphone onto the table, his expression still grave. Although he looked burly and had a fiery temper, it didn't mean he was without cunning, nor did it affect the fact that he was once a master's graduate. He saw through Lao Xie's cunning thoughts at a glance, but despite this, the current predicament remained severe.

Lu Zhao's words immediately silenced the discussions in the various convoys, making the survivors realize the reality.

Wu Dapeng, who was blocking the western part of the city, narrowed his eyes and immediately called over his henchmen.

"Those guys surnamed Lu are at the Black Rose Bar right now. Take some men and sneak over there to keep an eye on them, waiting for the boss to give the order..."

He made a throat-slitting gesture. To catch the thief, you must first catch the leader. For these caravans, the leader is the backbone. If he is killed, the defensive line will soon collapse.

"Okay!" the younger brother replied and left.

Upon hearing Lu Zhao's words, Old Scorpion couldn't help but let a cold glint flash in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure and said...
"Oh, it seems this team leader is going to refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit. Since your people don't want to leave, fine, then from now on, for any of your team members, the men will have their eyes gouged out and their noses cut off, and the women will be gang-raped on the spot. Leave no one alive. How about that? Does that live up to your toughness?"

His words directly incited Lu Zhao and his teammates to become adversaries, which shows his extremely ruthless nature.

"Oh shit."

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhao immediately cursed inwardly. Although he knew what tricks the other party was playing, he knew that these bandits would definitely pay a price if they wanted to annihilate them all. They were just trying to play some psychological games to break up the group of survivors before taking them down easily.

But he was at a loss for what to do. The initiative was in the other side's hands, and they had no choice but to defend.

"What do we do now?" Xie Guan asked gravely. "We definitely can't win in a fight. Are we just going to drag this out indefinitely?"

“No, with the methods of these bandits, they might cause us trouble at night. If we run into some kind of monster, we'll be really finished,” said the captain of another caravan, looking disheveled.

"What if they keep setting the city on fire like this?"

"No, no, no, everyone, don't panic." Hu Lushou walked over at this moment, reached for the megaphone on the table, grinned with his gold teeth and tentatively looked at the team leaders: "Since the other party called me by my full name, let me negotiate with that old scorpion first?"

Then, under everyone's gaze, Hu Lushou picked up the megaphone and cleared his throat.
"Hello..."

The loudspeaker outside was deafening, echoing through the street. Hu Lushou gave an awkward laugh, then his expression turned serious.

"Is this... Old Scorpion Gang Leader, Red Eagle Regiment Leader, and Bone-Melting Dragon Boss? It's me, Hu Lushou. What's wrong with you today? Why are you bringing so many people and getting so angry?"

Hu Lushou's voice echoed through Aksai City. On the bandit side, Old Scorpion and his two companions smiled slightly upon hearing Hu Lushou's voice.

Old Scorpion picked up the megaphone: "Boss Hu, what's going on? You were the one who knelt down and begged me to help us brothers collect tolls back then. Now everyone's working themselves to the bone outside, but why are you abandoning your brothers and running away?"

"No, how could that be? Who told you that?!"

Hu Lushou immediately denied it three times in a row: "I was even planning to hand over the hard-earned fees I collected over the past three days to you today, you must have misheard me!"

"Humph!"

Old Scorpion snorted coldly, his fat face trembling violently. He said with interest, "Forget it, don't try that with me. I've seen through your little scheme long ago. I know you're not one of us. Here's what we'll do: you keep the 20% of the profits you took. Considering how hard you've worked, I'll let you and your caravan leave safely. How about that? I know you don't really want to stay here. You want to run away when the polar night comes. So, I'll take care of collecting tolls myself from now on."

Hu Lushou was taken aback upon hearing this, and tentatively asked, "Really? You'll let me go?"

"Of course it's fake, hahaha!!!"

Old Scorpion laughed arrogantly, his eyes flashing with a sharp edge, and said, "To be honest, although you're not very strong, you're smart and a real talent. I'm really reluctant to let you go. So if you're willing to come with me, we'll call it even today. You can continue collecting tolls for me here, how about that?"

Hu Lushou looked completely bewildered: "If I follow you, how the hell am I supposed to survive?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the sounds outside suddenly fell silent.

The people in the Black Rose Bar exchanged glances, and after a while, Old Scorpion burst into laughter again from outside.

"I'm still lying to you. How could I possibly trust a swindler like you? I'm going to capture all the men and women in your group and sell them today. That's the best deal ever!"

"damn it!"

Hu Lushou stared dumbfounded at the megaphone in his hand. In all his years of life, this was the first time he had been so thoroughly fooled.

No, the second time.

Last time, someone sold him over a thousand Xinghuo Type 26 fully automatic tactical rifles...

Looking at Hu Lushou's expression, Lu Zhao's face darkened as well. Those bandits practically wore their arrogance and conceit on their sleeves.

"Giggle cluck..."

Just as Hu Lushou was furious and everyone was silent, a clear laugh suddenly rang out from the basement passage behind the bar.

"who!"

Lu Zhao and the others were immediately startled, but Hu Lushou quickly blocked them.

As soon as the voice fell, a purple-haired girl walked out with light steps, trying hard to suppress her laughter: "I'm dying of laughter, you tricked him three times with just one sentence."

"Mr. Hu, didn't you call yourself a doomsday businessman? They've got a gun to your throat, and you still want to negotiate?"

Another calm voice came from behind him.

Lin Xian, clad in the Black Hawk Silent Hunter armor, strode confidently, his mask off, a smile on his face as he looked at Hu Lushou: "What, you have so little confidence in our plan?"

Following behind Lin Xian were KIKI, Da Lou and Liang Lei, two towering giants, each carrying two heavy Gatling guns that roared loudly, their imposing presence terrifying!

Behind them were Chen Sixuan, Li Guangwen, Luo Luo, Amin, and more than twenty other experts wearing power armor. These people had already entered the city quietly before dawn under KIKI's telekinetic protection and were hiding in the basement of the Black Rose Bar.

When Hu Lushou saw Lin Xian appear, his eyes lit up, and he immediately put on a smile: "How could that be? A merchant? What is a merchant? He's someone who can negotiate everything. I'm just trying to lull the bandits into a false sense of security and give us a head start."

Seeing this group of imposing figures emerge, Lu Zhao, Xie Guan, and the others retreated repeatedly, their eyes filled with astonishment.

"Mr. Hu, who are they?"

"They've come to support us," Hu Lushou quickly explained.

"Support?" Lu Zhao's face lit up when he saw this: "You have a secret passage?"

"No, we came in early this morning," Lin Xian said frankly.

"Tsk." Lu Zhao was immediately taken aback upon hearing this, slapping his thigh and saying, "This isn't support, it's like you've walked right into their trap and encircled them!"

"That's not necessarily true. Defending a city is much easier than attacking it. Besides..."

Lin Xian smiled, his eyes flashing with a sharp light as he looked at the convoy captain named Lu Zhao.

"It's still uncertain who will surround whom."

After saying that, he took the megaphone directly from Hu Lushou's hand and said calmly...
"Listen up, all you survivors defending Aksai! If those bandits outside were truly capable, they would have already slaughtered their way in. Why would they need to launch a propaganda campaign with loudspeakers? They're just worried they can't handle our few hundred men and end up severely weakened themselves. By the way, Old Scorpion, Red Eagle, and Bone-Melting Dragon, right? You've certainly come up with some impressive names. You're from several gangs, aren't you? So, have you all decided whose men will be used as cannon fodder? The one who's seriously injured might just be swallowed up by your good brother!"

These words were like a knife to the heart!
Upon hearing this, Old Scorpion, sitting on the monster truck, turned cold and his anger flared up. Just then, the woman beneath him made a 'mistake,' which enraged him so much that he yanked the chain, pulling the woman away and nearly snapping her neck.

The other two, Red Eagle and Bone-Melting Dragon, also had their eyes flashing, but they didn't reveal any expression.

They certainly knew the other party's purpose in saying those words, but knowing didn't mean they wouldn't think the same way. Now that the other party had revealed it, there was a noticeable tension between the three bandit groups.

"And which team are you from? Do you even have the right to speak here?"

Seeing Old Scorpion's dark expression, Red Eagle picked up the communicator and shouted at Lin Xian.

"Didn't you investigate my convoy yesterday? You've already forgotten about it overnight?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the three men exchanged glances and began communicating via their internal communicators.

"It's that woman's convoy!" Huagulong immediately exclaimed.
"How could that be? Wu Lao Er didn't mention any other caravans entering the city."

Red Eagle's gaze sharpened: "It seems that Ma Zi and his men are going to be disappointed."

Old Scorpion pondered for a moment: "I don't like unexpected changes, let's just do it."

A few more people in the city wouldn't matter to Old Scorpion and his men, but the sudden appearance of a convoy they were tracking in an unexpected place indicated a problem with their intelligence and that the other side was also prepared. The ruthless Old Scorpion immediately picked up the walkie-talkie.

"Viper, scorpion, granite, prepare to attack!"

Instantly, all the bandits surrounding Aksai received orders to open fire immediately.

Several superhuman experts from various bandit groups were mobilized.
