Chapter 319: Sand Bandits Besiege the City

Bang bang bang, da da da!

At 9:15, the sky cleared as darkness fell, and the entire western Gobi Desert welcomed daybreak again. The sun rose high in the sky, and the empty Gobi Desert was filled with the roar of engines and the sound of crisp gunfire.

Above the horizon, hundreds of exaggeratedly modified sand bandit vehicles were chasing two convoys of survivors, rushing all the way from Shashekou to Aksai, bumping and running wildly on the gravel beach, their tires rolling over weathered camel thorns, making crackling sounds, like the whine of bones being chewed.

The vehicles of these sand bandits were like a steel torrent, stirring up billowing yellow sand across the Gobi Desert.

The one rushing in the front of the bandit convoy was a half-forged truck with tank tracks welded to its head, and a flamethrower made from an oil pipeline mounted on the roof. The leader of the Crimson Vultures, Red Eagle, wore a welded gas mask, and from under the mask came a scream processed by a voice changer: "Put the men in cages, and capture the women alive!"

“Ooooohhh!!”

This sentence seemed to make the adrenaline of this group of desert thugs surge. All the vehicles began to whistle and scream. Someone fired a rifle into the air. A modified mountain off-road vehicle quickly rushed out of the team. A thug with a Mohawk shaved face stood up from the roof of the car carrying a rocket launcher. He immediately pointed at the convoy of survivors that were fleeing frantically not far ahead, grinned with a mouthful of black teeth, and immediately pulled the trigger.

whoosh, boom!

The rocket exploded on the back side of a modified off-road vehicle driving behind. Fireworks burst out immediately, and the whole car was thrown forward. The rear wheel on the side caught fire and rolled out.

The car behind rushed up and threw a Molotov cocktail at the shattered window of the SUV with wild laughter. Boom! The flames exploded, and the survivors inside who had not escaped were burned with raging flames, howling miserably.

The people in the survivor convoy also kept firing back at the rear. A thug who was shouting wildly was immediately blown to pieces by the metal jet, with half of his chin hanging in the air. The smell of blood instantly filled the air.

After seeing this scene, the thugs were not afraid, but became even more excited!

In the team, there was a heavy-duty monster truck with a golden shell and two rows of exaggerated exhaust pipes standing high at the rear. Black smoke was billowing. A sturdy man wearing a razor mask and naked upper body stood in the back of the pickup truck, holding a modified Gatling gun in one hand and madly shooting at the rear window of the survivors' convoy. Blood and glass shards exploded in the cab, and screams were swallowed up by the roar of the engine.

Sitting in the passenger seat of the golden truck was a middle-aged man with a stern face and a stout body. He was the leader of the Sand Scorpion Gang, Old Scorpion.

He calls himself the Emperor of the Desert. He is 1.9 meters tall and has a waist circumference that is twice that of a normal person. The muscles on his exposed right arm are as knotty as steel cables. There is a disassembled diagram of a "man-eating chainsaw" tattooed from the back of his hand to his forearm. His belly overflows from under the open riveted leather armor, but he deliberately does not cover it up. There are two strands of washed hair hanging on both sides of his bald scalp, which look very greasy.

In the seat behind him, two beautiful women with chains around their necks were massaging his shoulders while the other one occasionally fed him ice cubes. He sucked on them along with the women's fingers, and then he bit the ice cubes hard, breaking them into pieces with a crackling sound.

At this time, a signal light trailing red smoke suddenly rose slowly into the sky in the distant city of Aksai.

When Old Scorpion saw this, he picked up the intercom and said in a hoarse voice, "Red Eagle, Bone Dragon, Wu Laoer has sent a signal. The west side of the city has been blocked."

"I see." The triangular eyes under the Red Eagle gas mask were shining red at this time: "The convoy did not enter the city yesterday. My people have already gone to their camp."

"Old Vulture, the women in that caravan are so beautiful. No matter what you say, you have to leave me one that's not worn out!"

The leader of the Earth Dragon Society, Huagulong, wore camouflage power armor. His thin face was full of shrewdness, but the dark bags under his eyes made him look as if he had been hollowed out by alcohol and sex.

"Don't worry." Chiying said coldly in the voice of the Transformer: "Old J's team is still in Luobu and hasn't come back yet. I'll let Ma Zi's team go this time."

"damn it!"

Upon hearing this, Hua Gu Long cursed, "That old pockmarked guy is even more perverted than Old J. What the hell is he doing? Your subordinates are either beasts or perverts. Even the prostitutes in Tuo Ling Ji are afraid of them."

"Hahaha." The old scorpion's wanton laughter was heard from the communicator.

"She's just a woman, no matter how pretty she is, tell your men to keep their eyes open, and don't let anyone out, Axel!"

"He can't run away." Huagulong clicked his tongue: "In this fucking desert, even if he flies up to the sky, I can still shoot him down!"

Buzz buzz buzz!

The convoy roared and yellow sand spread everywhere. Before long, the bandits' convoy approached the city of Aksai, and the number of abandoned buildings around it gradually increased.

Chasing all the way to Aksai, the Sand Scorpion Gang did not completely wipe out the two convoys of survivors, but the armed forces that had been chasing the two convoys were basically crushed by the bloody means of the Sand Scorpion Gang. Then, after forcing the terrified and fragmented convoys of survivors into Aksai, the vehicles of the Sand Scorpion Gang began to slow down.

At the same time, the bandit groups coming from the direction of Bozipo in the southern suburbs and the north of the city gradually began to gather together, and soon these convoys began to circle around Aksai City, surrounding the entire city.

"Whoa whoa!!"

A large number of incendiary bombs, rockets, and remote-controlled self-destructive drones began to bombard the city continuously, creating a crazy scene of apocalyptic looting.

For a moment, the sounds of explosions and gunfire filled the sky over Aksai. Countless abandoned residential buildings and shopping streets began to catch fire, and billowing black smoke rose into the sky and burned on the Gobi Desert plain.

"Fuck them!"

In a room in a high-rise building, Lu Zhao was looking at the torrent of bandits outside the city through an electronic telescope. With a fierce look on his face, he picked up the intercom and shouted to his men, "Retreat, Lao Zhao, take your men to block the front street, and don't let that bastard Wu Dapeng attack us from behind!"

"good!"

In the square below, two convoys of survivors that were unlucky enough to be intercepted were badly damaged. They had not had time to catch their breath while fleeing back to the city when several groups of bandits had already rushed into the city and were approaching along the streets.

Dadada, bang bang bang!

The Dawn Convoy and the Aksai Brotherhood, which had already set up a defensive line, immediately opened fire back. The fierce firepower of hundreds of people suppressed the offensive arrogance of the sand bandits in an instant. The people in the two convoys were finally able to catch their breath and drove the convoys into the square, organizing the rescue of the wounded, and the combatants also rushed up to resist.

The main convoy of the bandits outside the city did not seem to be in a hurry to attack, but instead kept harassing the periphery, laughing wildly at the burning streets.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Several loud earthquakes were heard, and several buildings outside the street square suddenly exploded with layers of dust. A sand bandit with superpowers covered in dirt and rocks rushed through the houses like a tank and appeared directly in front of the Dawn Convoy. When the survivors here turned their guns to prepare for defense, suddenly a flying superpower with eagle wings and wearing a helmet swooped down from the sky. After killing several innocent survivors who escaped from the burning car with a volley of bullets, he arrogantly dropped several specially made dirty gas bombs into the defense convoy!

“Wuhu!”

rub!

The defending team was not to be outdone. A mimicking psychic sprouted four or five tentacles from his hands and flew into the air. He grabbed the bombs in mid-air and threw them back towards the stone psychic.

Boom boom boom!

A brown-yellow explosion sounded, and one of the bombs thrown by the mimicking mutant was too slow, and immediately blew one of his tentacles into a bloody mess.

"Rockets!"

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

On the distant street, three rockets arrived in an instant and exploded in front of the heavy trucks in the convoy's defense line. The windows and bodies of the trucks burst immediately, and a group of people were blown away by the flames and air waves.

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

"Wu Dapeng! Damn you!"

On top of a tall building, Lu Zhao saw the approaching convoy and became immediately furious.

A wave of fierce attacks doubled the pressure on the survivors, and casualties continued to increase.

But the survivors relied on the streets and defense lines to temporarily withstand this wave of attacks. At this time, the bandits seemed to have received some instructions. They launched a tentative attack, but then withdrew the offensive before everyone was prepared, and the gunfire suddenly stopped.

"What's going on? You don't want to fight anymore?"

“Run away?!”

"Retreat quickly, retreat quickly! Pull those people back!" Xie Guan, who was directing the battle below, shouted angrily with his red eyes. In just a dozen minutes of tentative attack by the sand bandits, he had already lost several people. The oppressive firepower made him desperate and angry.

As the bandits retreated, the defending survivors realized something was wrong. The bandits seemed to have gone into hiding, and the fierce gunfire suddenly quieted down, leaving only the sound of burning buildings.

Buzz...squeak!!

At this time, a sharp electric sound from a loudspeaker rang out in Aksai City.

On the main road out of the east city, a golden truck was parked in the middle of a group of escort vehicles. Lao Xie picked up the loudspeaker, and his voice would be transmitted to Aksai through the loudspeakers that his younger brothers had just installed in several areas of the city.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are sorry to disturb this beautiful morning."

As the old scorpion spoke, he stroked the woman under his crotch like he was stroking a cat, and said in a hoarse voice

"My name is Old Scorpion. You may not have heard of my name, but it doesn't matter. You just need to know that it is this person who sent you to hell. The purpose of our coming here today is very simple, and everyone can see it. It's nothing more than you kill me, or I kill you all. It's not complicated, right?"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

As soon as Lao Xie's words came out, hundreds of sand bandits surrounding Aksai started to laugh in strange ways.

This hoarse voice now echoed in every street in the city of Aksai, making all the survivors look extremely heavy, as if they were facing a formidable enemy!

Next to the monster truck, the Red Eagle of the Crimson Vulture Group and the Bone Dragon of the Earth Dragon Society both looked in the direction of the old scorpion with madness in their eyes.

“Oh~”

Feeling the naughtiness of the woman under his crotch, the old scorpion breathed a sigh of relief and continued

"However, we, the bandits in Sand, are actually reasonable. We are all here to make a living, and we don't necessarily have to fight and kill. For example, we agreed to cooperate with Boss Hu and collected tolls. So we are dedicated to protecting the safety of Aksai and clearing the way for the convoys. Look, in the past half month, Aksai is very safe during the day, isn't it?"

The old scorpion smiled coldly: "But why did we come today? There is no other way. The brothers have been guarding everyone's safety and have no food to eat. You say, we do things for you and charge a little hard work fee. It is logical, right?"

"It suits your uncle!!"

On this side of the square, the Dawn Motorcade immediately raised a loud speaker and shouted towards the distance.

At this time, Lu Zhao, Xie Guan and the two captains of the convoy who escaped back gathered at the Black Rose Bar to discuss strategy. Lu Zhao had a bad temper. When he heard what Old Scorpion said, he glared and cursed: "Robbery is robbery, you are just trying to fool your father with that nonsense, fight if you want, even if everyone on my side dies, today we have to see if half of your hundreds of people can survive!"

"Oh, you're still a tough guy." When Huagulong heard this, he immediately sneered.

The old scorpion on the other side snorted coldly, but he was not angry. Instead, he said, "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."

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of many people in the defending convoys in Aksai City changed, and the morale of the originally solid defense line seemed to be affected all of a sudden.

"Is what he said true or false?"

"Damn it, that's a sand bandit. Do you believe what the sand bandit says?"

"What if it's true? If someone else pays the toll, then it's really okay, right?"

"They're already at the door, and you're still dreaming!"

At the Black Rose Bar, when Hu Lushou heard this, his face immediately darkened. He looked at the captains of the convoys and swallowed quietly. Sun Chang, who was beside him, also realized that the other party was trying to split their camp. Although it seemed very straightforward, there was no guarantee that someone would not lose their mind in this situation, so she stepped forward with some caution.

Unexpectedly, when Lu Zhao of the Dawn Team heard this, he glared at her and laughed inexplicably. He picked up the megaphone and sneered:

"Hahahaha, no wonder he's the leader of the bandits. Even though he's mentally ill, he still knows a little bit about military tactics."

"You want to start by making a show of force and then play the game of surrounding the master, right? You want to sow discord at this time. Do you think I am a fool? Do you think I believe your words, the sand bandit, or do you believe that the strange body tonight is a fair and tender woman?"

Hu Lushou was surprised when he heard Lu Zhao's words and couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.

"Captain Lu is truly a god. He saw through the other party's evil plan in one go!"

Lu Zhao threw the megaphone in his hand onto the table, his face still heavy-faced. Although he looked big and strong with a bad temper, it did not mean that he was not cunning, nor did it affect the fact that he was once a top master's student. He could see through the old scorpion's cunning mind at a glance, but despite this, the current predicament was still severe.

Lu Zhao's words immediately suppressed the discussions in the various convoys, allowing the survivors to clearly recognize the reality.

Wu Dapeng, who was blocking the city from the west, narrowed his eyes and immediately called his younger brother to

"The Lu guys are now in the Black Rose Bar. Bring some people over to keep an eye on them and wait for the boss to give the order..."

He made a gesture of wiping his neck. To catch a thief, one must first catch the leader. For these caravans, the leaders are the backbone. If they are killed, the defense line will quickly collapse.

"Okay!" The younger brother responded and left.

When Old Scorpion heard Lu Zhao's words, he couldn't help but flash a cold light in his eyes. Then he said with a stern face:

"Oh, it seems that the captain of this team is unwilling to accept the toast. Since your people don't want to leave, then well, from now on, all the men in your team will have their eyes gouged out and their noses cut off, and the women will be gang-raped on the spot. No one will be spared. How about that? Is that worthy of your courage?"

His words directly instigated Lu Zhao and his team members to be in opposition. It must be said that he was extremely cruel.

"Oh shit."

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhao cursed inwardly. Although he knew what the other party was doing, these sand bandits would definitely pay a price if they wanted to wipe them out completely. They just wanted to play some psychological games to break up this group of survivors and then easily defeat them.

But he had no choice for the moment. The initiative was in the hands of the other party, and they had no choice but to defend.

"What should we do now?" Xie Guan said with a heavy face: "We are sure we can't win by fighting. Should we just keep dragging it out?"

"No, with the methods these bandits have, they might cause us trouble at night. If we get involved with the strange creatures, we'll be really finished." The captain of another convoy said with embarrassment on his face.

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

"No, no, no, don't be anxious." Hu Lushou came over at this time, reached out to take the megaphone on the table, grinned and looked at the captains of the team tentatively: "Since the other party called my name, let me negotiate with that old scorpion first?"

Then Hu Lushou picked up the megaphone and cleared his throat under the gaze of everyone.

"Hey, hey..."

The sound of the high-power loudspeaker outside was deafening, echoing in the street. Hu Lushou smiled awkwardly, then his face turned serious.

"Is it... the old scorpion leader, the red eagle leader and the bone dragon leader? It's me, Hu Lushou. What...what happened today? Why are you so angry with so many people?"

Hu Lushou's voice echoed in Aksai City. On the Sand Bandit side, Lao Xie and the other two all smiled slightly when they heard Hu Lushou's voice.

Lao Xie picked up the megaphone and said, "Boss Hu, what's the matter? You begged me on your knees to help us brothers collect tolls. Now we are all working hard outside, but why are you abandoning us brothers and running away?"

"No, how is that possible? Who told you that?!"

Hu Lushou immediately denied it three times: "I was going to give you the hard work fee I collected in the past three days today. You must have heard it wrong!"

"snort!"

The old scorpion snorted coldly, and the fat on his face trembled violently. He said with interest: "Forget it, don't try to play tricks on me. I have seen through your intentions a long time ago. I know you are not the same as us. So, you keep the 20% benefit you received. In consideration of your hard work, I will let you and your caravan leave safely. How about that? I know you don't want to stay here. You will also want to escape when the polar night comes, so I will collect the tolls myself from now on."

Hu Lushou was stunned when he heard this, and tentatively shouted: "Is this true? Will you let me go?"

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

The old scorpion smiled arrogantly, his eyes showing a sharp look as he said, "To be honest, although you are not very strong, you are smart and a talent. I really don't want to let you go. So if you are willing to follow me, let's just forget about this matter today. You can continue to collect tolls for me here, how about that?"

Hu Lushou looked puzzled: "If I follow you, how can I survive?"

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, the noise outside suddenly quieted down.

The looks of the people in the Black Rose Bar changed, and after a while, Old Scorpion's laughter was heard again from outside.

"I'm still lying to you. How can I trust a profiteer like you? I'm going to capture all the men and women in your group and sell them today. This is the most worthwhile business!"

"damn it!"

Hu Lushou stared at the loudspeaker in his hand in amazement. This was the first time in his entire life that he had been tricked so thoroughly.

No, the second time.

Last time, someone sold him thousands of Spark 26 fully automatic tactical rifles...

Lu Zhao's face darkened when he saw Hu Lushou's expression. That group of bandits had arrogance and arrogance written all over their faces.

“Chuckle, chuckle…”

Just as Hu Lushou was angry and everyone was silent, a crisp laugh suddenly sounded from the basement passage behind the bar.

"who!"

Lu Zhao and others were startled at once, but saw Hu Lushou quickly blocking them.

As soon as the voice fell, a purple-haired girl walked out with light steps, trying hard to hold back a smile on her face: "I am dying of laughter. You lied to him three times with one sentence."

"Boss Hu, don't you call yourself a doomsday businessman? The barrel of a gun is already stuck in your throat, and you still want to negotiate?"

Another calm voice also sounded from behind him.

Lin Xian, wearing the Black Hawk Silent Hunter armor, walked with a firm step, opened his mask, and looked at Hu Lushou with a smile on his face: "Why, you have no confidence in our plan?"

Following behind Lin Xian, besides KIKI, there were two two-meter-tall strong men, Dalou and Liang Lei. Each of them was carrying two heavy roaring Gatling guns, and their momentum was terrifying!

Behind them were more than twenty masters in power armor, including Chen Sixuan, Li Guangwen, Luo Luo, Amin, etc. These people had quietly entered the city before dawn under the escort of KIKI's telekinesis and hid in the basement of the Black Rose Bar.

When Hu Lushou saw Lin appear, his eyes lit up and he immediately put on a smile: "How can that be possible? A businessman, what is a businessman? He is someone who can discuss everything. I am not just trying to paralyze the sand bandits and gain some advantage for us."

Seeing this group of impressive figures coming out, Lu Zhao, Xie Guan and others stepped back one after another, their eyes filled with surprise.

"Boss Hu, who are they?"

"They are here to support us." Hu Lushou explained quickly.

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

"No, we came in early in the morning." Lin Xian said bluntly.

"Tsk." Lu Zhao was stunned when he heard that. He slapped his thigh and said, "How can you call this support? Aren't you just walking into their encirclement?"

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

Lin Xian smiled and looked at the team leader named Lu Zhao with a sharp look in his eyes.

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

After saying that, he took the megaphone from Hu Lushou and said calmly:

"To all the survivors defending the city of Aksai, listen up! If the bandits outside were really capable, they would have slaughtered us long ago. Why would they use loudspeakers to launch a propaganda offensive? In fact, they are just worried that they can't handle hundreds of us and end up seriously injuring themselves. By the way, Old Scorpion, Red Eagle, and Bone Dragon, right? Those names are quite interesting. You are from several gangs, right? Have you discussed which gangs to send up as cannon fodder? The one who is seriously injured might be swallowed up by your good brothers~"

These words are really heartbreaking!

The old scorpion sitting on the monster truck looked cold when he heard this, and he was furious. At this moment, the woman under his crotch made a "mistake", and he was so angry that he pulled the chain hard and pulled the woman away, almost pulling her neck to death.

The other Red Eagle and Bone Dragon also had flickering eyes at this time, without revealing any expression.

Of course they knew the purpose of the other party's words, but knowing that didn't mean they wouldn't think so. Now that the other party had exposed it, there was obviously a more subtlety between the three bandit teams.

"Which team are you from? Do you have the right to speak here?"

Seeing the old scorpion’s dark face, Chiying picked up the intercom and shouted at Lin Xian.

"Didn't you investigate my convoy yesterday? Did you forget about it overnight?"

As soon as the words fell, Lao Xie and the other two exchanged glances and started communicating using the internal communicator.

"It's the convoy of that beautiful woman!" Huagulong said immediately

"How could that be? Didn't Wu Lao Er mention any other convoys that entered the city?"

Chiying's eyes narrowed. "It looks like Mazi and the others will come up empty-handed."

The old scorpion looked thoughtful and said, "I don't like unexpected events, just do it directly."

It didn't matter to Lao Xie and his men that there were a few more people in the city, but a convoy they were tracking suddenly appeared where it shouldn't be. This showed that there was something wrong with their intelligence and that the other party was well prepared. The ruthless Lao Xie immediately picked up the walkie-talkie.

"Viper, Scorpion, Granite, get ready!"

In an instant, all the bandits surrounding Aksai received the order at the same time and began to open fire immediately.

Several masters with special abilities within the bandit group rushed out one after another.

Ask for monthly ticket~
