Two vehicles advanced along the Gobi Desert by the railway towards Akse, the wheels crushing gravel and sand, and the engine vibrations made the sand and dry grass on the ground shake as they traveled.
At this moment, the moving vehicles took a turn up a hill and stopped below a huge wind-eroded rock. Then, everyone got out of the cars together and walked to the edge of a wind-swept hill. In their view, there was a town appearing in the expansive wilderness in the distance, solitary in the center of the vast Gobi. This Akse Town had a national highway and northern railway line passing through, making it slightly larger than the previous Rob Town, with the whole town covered in wind and sand, blending with the Gobi.
There were no tall buildings, mostly old and low Western houses. Some more modern roads and streets were now incredibly desolate, occupied by yellow sand.
