Apocalypse - Evil Shelter System

Chapter 194: Conspiracy! Counterattack of the Council!

Soon, the group of senators appeared in Shen Xudong's secret room.

Shen Xudong looked at the senators with faces full of despair and defeat, sneering, "Gentlemen, don't forget, we still have an ace up our sleeves!"

"What ace?!" The senators, who had initially been worn out and defeated, immediately rushed forward eagerly. A few overly anxious ones even reached out to grab Shen Xudong.

At the moment, Shen Xudong's strength here should be considered the strongest. After all, Alex was Shen Xudong's son-in-law, and Shen Xudong's daughter, Shen Han, controlled all the military power of the entire resource collection team!

If Shen Xudong was genuinely willing to help them rectify the situation, they would naturally be more than willing!

"Captain Gu has been released!! Moreover, although the nominal military power of the Defense Team belongs to Alex, the one who truly controls the Defense Team is still Captain Gu!"

"Alex is now acting recklessly, and his actions have angered many! He even killed Zhang Jingwu, completely offending other soldiers in the Security Management Team!"

"Alex's current situation may seem unassailable, but in reality, his power structure is riddled with holes! As long as we unite, plan together, and strike at critical points, Alex's influence will crumble!"

"Moreover, my daughter, Shen Han, is currently in control of the resource collection team!"

After Shen Xudong finished speaking, a faint smile appeared on his lips, and his eyes were filled with a triumphant look.

Everyone present lit up at Shen Xudong's words, feeling extremely moved by what he had just revealed.

Hope!!

This was their only chance!

To embrace the council, to overthrow Alex's tyranny, this was their only and best way forward!

"Great! Excellent! As long as we can get Gu's support, I don't believe that, with our political acumen, we can't deal with this wet-behind-the-ears little brat, Alex! Hahaha!"

"Yes! A greenhorn brat dares to compete with us?! Doesn't he weigh his own abilities?! Playing political games with us, this kid is like lighting a lamp in a toilet!"

Several senators burst into hearty laughter, and their initially defeated faces suddenly became radiant.

"Don't celebrate too early, everyone! If Gu is unwilling to join forces with us, this matter will be difficult to handle! Moreover, this matter must be kept confidential! If the news leaks, we're finished!" Shen Xudong said with a dark expression.

"Hahaha! As long as Guang is here, do we fear that we can't persuade Gu?" a middle-aged senator chuckled while looking at Guang Beijia.

Everyone here knew that Gu had always been loyal to Guang Beijia and had harbored feelings for her.

"As long as Guang is involved, I don't believe we can't handle this Alex!!!" Everyone turned their gaze to Guang Beijia, waiting for her response.

Guang Beijia, seeing everyone looking at her, couldn't help but furrow her brows.

Yes!

Gu had indeed been devoted to her before.

And he had always loved her deeply.

This was not only guessed by everyone present but also something she knew.

However, she had been completely hurt by Gu in the past, and she not only failed to help him but also added insult to injury.

Now, asking Guang Beijia to approach Gu, she really couldn't muster the courage.

On one hand, there was her aversion to Gu.

On the other hand, she felt she had no face to approach him.

Moreover, Shen Xudong's plans were clearly designed to put Alex in a desperate situation!

No one don't know why, but Guang Beijia couldn't bring herself to do it. Although she strongly opposed Alex's abolition of the council system and detested his autocracy, as a woman, she couldn't help but develop some unconventional feelings for Alex, the hero and domineering CEO.

At least in Guang Beijia's eyes, Alex was far superior to Gu and the men present! Especially after witnessing Alex single-handedly facing the zombie tide, fighting to the death without retreat, she felt completely conquered by this man who was more than ten years younger than her.

"Guang Beijia! What are you thinking? Speak up!" A senator finally grew a bit impatient and couldn't help urging Guang Beijia, who was lost in thought.

"As for my daughter Shen Han, I will naturally find a way. As for Gu, Guang Beijia is the best candidate. Regarding the Defense Team, Liu Zong, your nephew is a squad leader there, and only you can intervene." Shen Xudong, immersed in self-satisfaction, started playing the role of the leader of the senators, giving orders.

"Mr. Shen is truly wise and farsighted, we admire it! Guang Beijia, now everyone is waiting for your decision! Whether the council can be restored, and the lives and fortunes of everyone in our shelter, all depend on you!" An elderly senator looked at Guang Beijia with hopeful eyes.

"We can't delay any longer! The night is long, and dreams are plenty! We must make a decision now, indecision will lead to chaos! Alex is currently injured and has no combat power. If we wait for his recovery, it will be difficult for us to eradicate him!"

"Guang Beijia! What are you still considering? Restoring the council, you are still our first chairman. The one who stands to gain the most is you. What else do you have to hesitate about?"

Under the urging of everyone, Guang Beijia gritted her teeth and finally nodded, saying, "Alright! I will try to convince Gu to cooperate with us! Regarding the previous matter, as you all know, we all turned our backs on him. I'm afraid Gu..."

"That's all a misunderstanding! Guang Beijia, we trouble you to explain to Captain Gu, the previous incident was all a misunderstanding. Now, we all are willing to support him in continuing to hold military power.

This shelter was built together by Captain Gu and everyone; how can we let Alex, this scoundrel, steal our achievements?" The senator who spoke didn't care at all about how strongly he had condemned Gu in the previous council meeting.

"Guang Beijia! Everyone knows Captain Gu's feelings for you. As long as you sincerely move him, I believe he will definitely listen to you," a senior senator said with a slight smile, feeling triumphant.

Everyone here was well aware of Gu's character. As long as they employed certain means, they weren't afraid that Gu wouldn't obediently comply.

"Good! Since the decision is made, let's act separately!" Shen Xudong stood up, clapped his hands, and said, "In addition, we need insurance! I know that each of you has some subordinates who handle things for you. It's time to put these people to good use!"

The meeting dispersed, and everyone left.

As for Guang Beijia, she appeared in the barracks of the Defense Team with a conflicted expression.

Just as Guang Beijia hesitated, Gu suddenly opened the door and walked out.

Seeing Guang Beijia, Gu was slightly stunned and said with some surprise, "Beijia! Why are you here? I thought you were still angry with me..."

"No!" Guang Beijia frowned and shook her head. "Captain Gu, the previous incident was my impulsiveness. Now, upon careful consideration, I'm sure you are not that kind of person! This matter must be a frame-up!"

Although she said so, Guang Beijia's heart still firmly believed that Gu was behind this. Her heart was still filled with disgust towards Gu, and she even felt that Gu was becoming more and more hypocritical.

"Now, people in the council have also guessed that this is a conspiracy by Lv Weijiang and Zhang Jingwu! This whole thing is a complete misunderstanding. Everyone feels guilty towards you now and hopes... hopes that you can continue to stand with us, facing challenges together!"

Guang Beijia didn't want to say much to Gu. With her confidence, she thought that as long as she spoke some kind words, Gu would surely agree. Whether it was before or after the apocalypse, Gu had always been like this. It was all a matter of course.

"Really?" A trace of surprise flashed across Gu's face, and he said excitedly, "Beijia, do everyone believe me now? You must believe me! I absolutely didn't do anything to Ping Qiyun! Ping Qiyun was definitely not taken away by me! I'm truly framed!"

"Hypocrite! Even now, you still won't admit it?" Guang Beijia snorted disdainfully in her heart, showing even more disdain towards Gu.

"Captain Gu, you don't need to explain anymore. Everyone trusts you very much. It's just that now, Alex has already canceled the council, and we... we can't help you clear your name anymore. Moreover, with the way things are going, Alex will be the autocrat here in the future. None of us will have a good life." Guang Beijia cautiously inquired.

"What? Alex really has the audacity! He actually wants to rule with absolute power?! What qualifications does he have to make decisions unilaterally for the shelter we've built with so much effort?" Gu suddenly became furious.

"There's even more ruthless news!" Guang Beijia continued, "In the future, the entire City Defense Brigade will have to obey his orders. Even ordinary soldiers will have to surrender their weapons during peacetime! His actions completely disregard your authority!"

"What should we do then?" Gu asked with a dark expression.

"Deke, don't you want to return to your previous position as the captain? Can you bear to watch the shelter we've worked so hard to build be taken away by an outsider?" Guang Beijia continued to guide.

"No! Since Alex wants to establish a dictatorship, I'm the first to oppose it!" Gu declared firmly.
