Chapter 322 Silver Bullet
The sandstorm rolled in, swallowing up the light.
On the Infinity, Lin Xian sat quietly, holding a metal disc in his hand. This was made by the device he scanned the one thrown by Old Scorpion. It was quite powerful, and its shockwaves could be transmitted to the ground dozens of meters below.
"It seems that this sandstorm should be the same as the blizzard in Parma Grassland before. There will be strange creatures waiting for opportunities to move around..."
Because these sand bandits were engaged in human robbery and also had an organization that exchanged blood and sperm, Lin Xian naturally linked these two things together.
In addition to those exaggeratedly modified tanks, the weapons and firepower possessed by the sand bandits are obviously a level higher than those of ordinary convoys.
Lin Xian studied the Iron Alliance Orders on Huagulong, Chiying, and Laoxie at the same time, and found that they were somewhat different from the one on Brother J.
If the function of the Iron Alliance Order on Brother J is to transmit paths and signal packets, then the functions of the orders on these three leaders are more complicated.
For example, the Iron Alliance Order on Old Scorpion not only monitors his own vital signs, but also has the function of active destruction.
In other words, this thing is inserted into one's heart, which means that one's life is in the hands of the organization that created this Iron Alliance Order.
Ding, ding.
Lin Xian sat in the cockpit, tapping the Iron Alliance Order in his hand, looking at the sandstorm outside with a serious look.
According to his guess, the Iron Alliance order, the coordination of the various sand bandits, the firepower support, and the looting of survivors should all be related to that organization.
"Bailutan..."
Lin Xian picked up his mobile phone and looked at the electronic map, and found that the location was located in an area in the southern part of the uninhabited area more than 2,000 kilometers away from Aksai. He originally planned to arrange someone to drive the Night Star aircraft to make a trip there after entering the uninhabited area.
But after dealing with Old Scorpion, Lin Xian hesitated again. It was justified for him to take the risk to wipe out the sand bandits, both from the perspective of eliminating hidden dangers and obtaining supplies to enter the no-man's land.
But the organization behind this sand bandit...
"Forget it, it's better to have less trouble than more. The no-man's land is so dangerous, it's better to enter Quancheng as soon as possible."
Quancheng is a big city. Once he gets there, he will immediately change route and head towards Luling and Jinhai. The road ahead is dangerous. In addition to the horrible forbidden objects in the uninhabited area that Hu Lushou mentioned, there are also the dangling insect legs that they saw last night. These are all potential hidden dangers.
At this time, Chen Sixuan walked in and whispered to Lin Xian: "It's hard to see anything in the sandstorm. If it lasts too long, our plan..."
"Let's see what happens." Lin Xian sighed, "If it doesn't work, just wait one more night. We've put in so much effort, and it would be a waste if we don't get anything."
"Yeah." Chen Sixuan nodded, looking at the yellow sand all over the sky outside. She couldn't even see the ground clearly, and her face looked a little heavy.
The good news is that, as Lin Xian thought, the sandstorm did not last as long as expected. Within two hours, the whistling sound of yellow sand and wind outside the car began to subside. Lin Xian opened the sunshade and saw smoke and dust all over the sky outside, but the wind had weakened.
After a few minutes, the originally turbid sky outside began to become clear, and the sandstorm like a sky curtain had passed.
Chi.
The automatic door opened, and before Lin Xian got out of the car, a large amount of yellow sand fell from the roof like a waterfall.
Lin Xian raised his hand and waved, then jumped off the train. Looking back, he found that the entire train was covered with a thick layer of yellow sand, which looked mottled.
"This sandstorm came suddenly, without any warning."
Chen Sixuan also got out of the car. After the raging sand passed, Aksai became a clear sky under the sunshine again.
Lin Xian looked towards the Aksai city in the yellow sand and his expression relaxed. It was 1:00 p.m. at this time. The battle situation was much better than he expected. In less than one morning, the bandits led by Lao Xie were dealt with by them from both inside and outside. If they really just fought from the outside, the situation might be much more complicated.
Because Lin Xian and his men blocked the encirclement attack from the inside, the external stranglehold was able to go extremely smoothly. This was also due to the advantage in intelligence. Lin Xian and a group of captains decided to go into battle that day and formulated a battle plan overnight. This was something the Sand Bandits had never expected.
The most crucial one is the Iron Alliance Order.
This device inserted into the heart of the bandit leader turned out to be a powerful weapon to defeat them.
In the city of Aksai, the vehicles of several convoys of survivors surrounding the square were covered with yellow sand. The streets were filled with corpses and charred car frames covered with yellow sand. The smoke and bloody smell of the war were buried by a sandstorm.
Lu Zhao from the Dawn Team got out of the car and let out a long sigh with a complicated expression. He had been through a lot of battles, but at this moment he still couldn't calm down for a long time.
From being besieged, fighting, despair, to the sudden arrival of Lin Xian's joint convoy, the complete annihilation of the sand bandits, and a thrilling sandstorm, all of these happened in just one morning.
At this time, watching the sandstorm pass, all the survivors in Aksai City felt a sense of joy at surviving a disaster.
"Boss Hu!"
Lu Zhao, Xie Guan and several team leaders walked into the Black Rose Bar together. He was excited. "Haha, good fellow, it turns out that you really didn't bluff us when you said you had support and methods. I really misunderstood you!"
Hu Lushou, who had just come out of the basement, put on his sunglasses and held a small fan. He looked very proud and waved his hand.
"There's nothing I can do. There are some things I can't explain clearly. If I do, it won't work."
Xie Guan's eyes lit up: "It turns out that Boss Hu had already figured out that Wu Dapeng was a bandit. He was playing hard to get!"
Hu Lushou nodded calmly, and said smugly: "Of course, I have seen through the face of that bastard a long time ago! @"
Lu Zhao looked disappointed. "So when Boss Hu said to follow the northern track, he meant for us to follow Captain Lin and his giant joint convoy into the no-man's land. I finally understand now."
"I never thought we could wipe out Lao Xie and his gang of bandits. It's such a relief!" Xie Guan and others echoed, "This group of people should have gone to hell long ago!"
"That's right, that's right..." Hu Lushou grinned with his big gold teeth and laughed, but in fact, he was relieved in his heart at this moment.
He originally thought that Lin Xian's side was still the same scale as before at Hengshan Pass, but he did not expect that they had a terrifying strength of more than 4,000 people.
With such strength, it would be no problem for them to directly defeat the sand bandits and pass Aksai in broad daylight. Now Hu Lushou also guessed the reason why Lin Xian did this. In addition to preventing future troubles, he also intended to seize the sand bandits' supplies and help other survivors get rid of the harm. It can be said that he killed three birds with one stone.
Sun Chang on the side glanced at him with disgust, she had long been accustomed to this guy's ability to flatter her with his eloquence, and knelt decisively behind him, but now he pretended to be someone who had already made plans and was in control of the situation.
Clang.
At this time, the door of the Black Rose Bar was pushed open, and a group of people walked in in a mighty manner. They were all the leaders and backbone figures of the United Train. They had just cleared out the sand bandits, and Lin Xian and Shi Diyuan called everyone here. One reason was to discuss the detachment of several sand bandits' lairs and strongholds, and the other was to make some preparations for entering the no-man's land. This was Hu Lushou's territory, and there was wine and meat, and they could have a drink by the way.
"Captain Lin!"
When Hu Lushou saw Lin Xian and the others coming in, his eyes lit up immediately, and he hurried over, with tears streaming down his face, and lowered his voice and said
"Boss, why didn't you tell me in advance that there were so many of you? I was so scared that I was terrified the whole morning."
"Huh!" Shi Diyuan said as soon as he came in, "They actually set up a decent place to drink. That's great. Let's make some arrangements and clear out the bandits' strongholds before dark. We'll rest here tonight and go into the no-man's land tomorrow!"
"Clear the stronghold? I'm good at that." Hu Lushou immediately became excited when he heard it: "Those bandits have been entrenched in this place for a long time. There must be a lot of good things. Hehe, when the time comes, we..."
Lin Xian glanced at him and patted him on the shoulder: "Yes, Boss Hu is an expert. The team specializes in this. There are a lot of guys loading and unloading. How about this... We have already done the work of besieging the sand bandits. Boss Hu will personally lead the team to clear out the old nest. Is that okay?"
After hearing this, Hu Lushou was dumbfounded. What do you mean I should go by myself?
"Hey, no, no, no, that's the lair of the bandits. Captain Lin, are you sure you want me to go alone?"
"I can trust it." Lin Xian looked at Shi Diyuan and the captains: "What do you think?"
"No problem." Shi Diyuan chuckled, "We've been fighting all morning, so let's take a break."
"It's so windy outside, I don't want to travel a long distance again." Monica found a suitable place to sit down.
After hearing Lin Xian's arrangement, the group came in and found a place to sit down, leaving Hu Lushou standing there in a daze.
He was stupid.
Although he is most willing to do things like confiscating supplies, the prerequisite is safety. Although the main force of these sand bandits has been eliminated, there must be defensive forces in their lair. Wouldn't it be a landmine to let Hu Lushou take his men there himself?
"Boss Hu, thank you for your trouble."
Lin Xian took out a mobile terminal and handed it to him: "These are the suspicious locations I located. They are all dangerous places that are easy to defend but difficult to attack. You must pay more attention to your safety!"
Lu Zhao and others were also confused when they heard Lin Xian's words.
Hu Lushou looked at everyone, his face turned pale, and he quickly came over and said in a panic
"Don't worry, there are so many strongholds, how can I possibly handle them with so few people? Captain Lin, you..."
"Can't handle it?" Lin Xian was embarrassed when he heard this: "We rescued you and helped you deal with the main force and leader of the Sand Bandits. It's not good for you to take on this little job."
"That's right, we helped you, but you haven't shown any appreciation yet." KIKI also said with a smile.
Shi Diyuan also said loudly: "Then thank you for your hard work, Boss Hu."
When Hu Lushou heard this, his face turned pale. He had already realized that Lin Xian's words were obviously intended to get him to give in.
Thinking of this, Hu Lushou felt a sharp pain in his heart. He knew that he couldn't dodge the knife, so he simply put on a stern look.
"Captain Lin, please stop talking. These sand bandits are evil and have brought disaster to the world. They have robbed countless survivors. I have used the name of collecting tolls to keep them in check, giving all the brothers and sisters in Aksai a break. Now we have finally waited for you to come and get rid of this harm. During this period of time, I have secretly collected a lot of intelligence on their activities, which can eliminate many suspicious locations and save time!"
"In addition, the supplies I earned from collecting tolls also belong to the evil capital of this gang of sand bandits, so I will also take them out. Captain Lin, Captain Shi, you guys decide how to arrange it!"
As soon as these words were spoken, several team leaders including Lu Zhao and many uninformed captains of the united team were all surprised, and their expressions turned into respect when they looked at Hu Lushou.
"Wow, it turns out that Boss Hu has his reasons for collecting tolls!"
"I misunderstood you before."
"Boss Hu is righteous!"
"I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it..." Hu Lushou grinned with his gold teeth.
Lin Xian and Shi Diyuan on the side exchanged glances and both smiled secretly.
I thought this guy was quite sensible. Not only did he clear himself, but he also won the hearts of the people and acted very cool.
However, Lin Xian did not care. Hu Lushou gave up this part of the benefits of being an accomplice of the evil, which was actually a statement. After all, in the eyes of so many teams, he was not a positive character. If he did not do this, entering the no-man's land and letting this former accomplice of the sand bandits follow him would somewhat cause some criticism from other teams.
Then again, this guy has already made a lot of money from collecting 20% of the tolls, and those bandits may have made even more money. Thinking of this, Lin Xian decided not to waste any more time.
"There are still about five hours until dark, so we should be able to make it in time. We should split up into several groups and wipe out the Sand Scorpion Gang, the Earth Dragon Society, and the Red Vulture Group's lairs. The rest of us will stay in Aksai to reorganize. We will enter the no-man's land before dawn tomorrow!"
Shi Diyuan nodded: "Then send more cars and more people, it will be easier to solve the problems if they arise, it would be best if we could take everything away at once!"
“Me, me, me, me”
As soon as Lin Xian finished speaking, KIKI immediately raised her hands and looked at Lin Xian eagerly with big eyes: "It's so interesting to rob other people's nests. Lin Xian, please let me go, please."
She put on a pleading tone, as if she was the bandit...
"Brother Lin, I am willing to go too!" Lu Xingchen rarely wanted to carry out a long-distance mission. It seemed that he still hadn't gotten over the novelty of acquiring the ability to fly.
"I want to go too, I want to go too, Brother Lin, can we drive that Nightstar aircraft?" Sasha was also excited at this time.
"Little sister, we are going to seize the stronghold, not blow it up. What other use can you have by flying a plane other than alerting the enemy?" Shi Diyuan said with a smile.
Lin Xian nodded: "The main force has been eliminated. Even if there are people in the stronghold, there won't be too many, but there must be defensive heavy weapons, so we can't underestimate them."
After he finished speaking, he looked at the crowd, and Qian Dele stood up directly.
"I'll lead the team to Heiyougou in the northern district. We're familiar with the route anyway. It should be the base of the Tulong Society, but there should be more than one there."
"There must be more than one!" Hu Lushou said excitedly at this time: "Even though the Tulonghui has the least people among the three caravans, the Huagulong is a shrewd man with a lot of good things hidden in his hands. Moreover, a cunning rabbit has three burrows, so he has more than one base. I have detected three small bases alone."
Ning Jing looked at Shi Diyuan and said, "Then I'll take the people from the Red Eagle side."
Shi Diyuan nodded: "Take Lao Mao and the others with you, just in case."
Lin Xian thought about it, then turned to look at Chen Sixuan: "How about this, you take Brother Huo and KIKI with you to the Sand Scorpion Gang."
"And there is the Sasha Building. Luo Yang, you guys should also lead the people here. Everything should be under the command of Teacher Chen."
Chen Sixuan was a little surprised when she heard this. She didn't expect Lin Xian to take the initiative to ask her to go out to fight. She was immediately delighted and nodded in response.
"Okay, I'll get ready right away."
Lin Xian's purpose of calling Chen Sixuan along was very simple. She was calmer than the little girl and Brother Huo, so he felt more at ease with her around. In addition, with her improved perception and the Black Hawk power armor, her strength was already quite impressive.
Even if the Sand Scorpion Gang's stronghold still has powerful firepower, with these people here, it shouldn't be a big problem.
"Li Yi." Lin Xian said to Li Yi at this time: "You have a lot of people here, call Liang Lei to come with you, but you stay. I plan to take this opportunity to adjust the train deployment and then combine your train with ours."
Li Yi nodded: "Okay, I'll follow your arrangements."
Soon, the task of clearing the stronghold was assigned.
Each team was equipped with at least 50 people. Lin Xian arranged for the use of the 10 base vehicles and the off-road vehicles of Hu Lushou's team. Taking advantage of the bright sunshine, several teams set off.
The remaining convoys stayed on standby and rested, so many convoy captains arranged for their team members to rest and get off the train to relax. After all, it was not good to stay in the train compartment for a long time and they needed to bask in the sun.
For a moment, the Black Rose Bar was filled with people who came to drink Hu Lushou's drinks. Because everyone had just fought side by side, Hu Lushou was not shameless enough to charge them, so he could only watch his treasured collection of drinks decrease box by box, with heartache in his eyes.
At this time, Hu Lushou saw Lin Xian who was about to return to the Infinity Train to prepare for maintenance. He quickly walked up to him and pulled him into the basement, saying with a bitter face:
"Captain Lin, we have an agreement that you have to protect us when we pass through the no-man's land."
Hearing this, Lin Xian sighed slightly and said, "I don't know if I can protect it or not. If it's a bandit, it's still okay. But if it's a weird body, you know, even if the Phoenix Interstellar Army is here, there's no guarantee!"
“I understand, I understand!”
Hu Lushou nodded repeatedly: "We will follow you anyway. By the way, after you pass Quancheng, will you go to Jincheng or Luling?"
"What's wrong?"
Hu Lushou smiled and said, "Just ask. If you guys go to Shuguang City, I can still stop by."
"You're going to Dawn City?"
"Yes." Hu Lushou said as he took out a thin ID card from his pocket: "I paid a lot of money for the middle-class citizenship of Dawn No. 1 Underground City!"
Lin Xian took it and looked at it, and found that this card had a new numbered ID card for federal citizens. It contained Hu Lushou's personal fingerprint, voiceprint, and retinal information, which was somewhat similar to the electronic information he had entered into the Phoenix Society in Xilan before.
"I may not go to Shuguang City, but I will definitely go in the direction of Luling."
Hu Lushou heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this: "That's great. I feel much more relieved to be able to follow your team."
"Oh, right." Lin Xian looked at him and asked, "How did you get to Aksai?"
"Oh, stop talking." Hu Lushou sighed and said, "I originally went through Longjiang from Hengshan Pass, intending to chase the Silent City. Damn, who knew that something strange would happen. Dozens of our convoys were all lost in the polar night when the No. 5 Star Abyss suddenly expanded. When we ran out, hey... we were in the Western Gobi Desert."
Lin Xian frowned when he heard this: "Are you saying that you crossed Xingyuan?"
Hu Lushou's tone stagnated. "It's hard to say whether it exists or not, because we traveled at night all the way, and all the information devices were inoperative. But our dozens of convoys must have been lucky. The dark mark seemed to have been attracted to the Silent City. My goodness, there were giants in the sky, and weird corpses underground. There were horrors everywhere. It was like a hundred ghosts parading at night. Now we don't know if the Silent City is still there. I guess it must be mysterious. It is said that there are 80,000 to 90,000 people there."
"That's right." Hu Lushou said, suddenly looking at Lin Xian: "There are living people in Xingyuan!"
"who?"
"Oh~" Hu Lushou groaned and guessed, "I think it might be the Night Walkers or something. Anyway, there is a group of fearless guys investigating inside, but they are all on the periphery. Speaking of which..."
Hu Lushou frowned. "If we are talking about crossing the Star Abyss, it should be unlikely, because we can still feel the power of the darkness invading. It gets stronger as we go deeper, and the sky gets darker, so dark that we can't see our five fingers. So I guess I just stumbled around the edge of the Star Abyss and got here."
"Then you are really lucky."
Lin Xian looked at Hu Lushou in some confusion. They came out of Xilan City and were almost wiped out just by entering Yijin City. However, Hu Lushou and his convoy actually drove around the edge of Star Abyss No. 5 from Longjiang into the Western Gobi Desert. It must be said that this guy had some luck. He didn't suffer any harm when he encountered the sand bandits, but actually made a lot of money.
Talent.
"Nothing else."
"have!"
Hu Lushou said this and quickly turned around and ran to a corner where there was a safe. He took out a special storage box from it and then walked in front of Lin Xian. He pressed his finger on the fingerprint unlocking device on it, and then with a click, the metal box was opened.
Lin Xian looked over and found that there were 10 dark red blood sperms in the box. From the size he knew that they were second-grade blood sperms, with different shades of color and a residual fishy smell.
"It's just a small token of my appreciation for helping Mr. Hu out of his predicament."
Hu Lushou said with a shy smile.
Lin Xian looked at Hu Lushou with interest: "Be more direct."
"This is real, there's no other meaning!" Hu Lushou said hurriedly. He opened the upper layer of the storage box and said, "There's another thing."
Buzz!
Just as Hu Lushou opened the upper layer of the storage box, the lights in the basement flickered suddenly a few times. Lin Xian's eyes fixed and he looked around, and found that the chandelier and some hanging metal objects seemed to be attracted by some kind of gravity and tilted slightly towards the direction of the storage box.
Lin Xian looked at this time and saw a 12.7mm silver-black armor-piercing bullet quietly placed on a layer of sponge at the bottom of Hu Lushou's storage box. The bullet was obviously fired and covered with signs of wear and tear, and there was even a trace of black blood on it. But the moment Lin Xian saw it, he suddenly felt a huge radiation dizziness and the cold breath of darkness invading him.
Hu Lushou looked at Lin Xian and said mysteriously:
"To be honest with you, Captain Lin, this should be a..."
"Forbidden items!"
