Apocalypse - Evil Shelter System

Chapter 195: Covert Coalition?

At the same time, a certain Liu-surnamed legislator approached a squad leader in the Security Management Unit, initiating a clandestine plot to unite against Alex. Meanwhile, other legislators began secretly contacting their henchmen, conspiring on the assassination of Alex.

In the eyes of these legislators, their plans were unfolding systematically, creating an expansive and intricate web closing in on Alex.

Now, only one crucial step remained – convincing Shen Han, who currently controlled the Materials Collection Unit. In Shen Xudong's home, he earnestly and persuasively implored his daughter.

When emotions ran deep, even tears streamed down his face. After a lengthy conversation, Shen Han finally agreed to participate in this conspiracy at her father's behest. Shen Xudong assured her that this endeavor was merely to restore the parliamentary system and would not harm Alex.

Soon after, the secret meeting of the legislature reconvened. This time, everyone appeared revitalized, with a gleam in their eyes. The previous sense of despair was cast aside completely. With the addition of Gu and Shen Han, along with the collaboration of a squad from the Security Management Unit, they believed they had firmly grasped a significant portion of military authority.

Moreover, they operated in the shadows, armed with a plethora of conspiracies to corner Alex. Even if Alex had formidable combat capabilities and solid defenses, they thought he was now on a one-way path to destruction.

"Although I currently oversee the Materials Collection Unit, without Alex's military orders, I have no way to mobilize the entire unit. At most, I can only have my subordinates follow my directives. If this plan is not meticulously executed, given the current power held by Alex, we might be in great danger..."

After listening to the legislators' strategy, Shen Han looked at everyone with a troubled expression. Beside her, Gu also spoke up, "Some of my subordinates have joined Alex, but the majority can still be trusted. If Shen Han can redirect most of the Materials Collection Unit's personnel, we can launch a decisive strike, eliminate Alex, seize control of the command center.

However, Alex has been holed up in the command center, guarded day and night by mutants loyal to the Materials Collection Unit. My people can't breach it unless... unless we can move all the personnel from the Materials Collection Unit! Then, covertly replace the personnel in the command center with my people!"

After speaking, Gu looked at the legislators with a serious expression. "The only solution is to quickly find a way to obtain Alex's military orders! Alex is currently recuperating inside. If we can get hold of his orders, with Han's current prestige, she can completely redirect the personnel in the Materials Management Unit and replace them with people from my unit.

As long as all the personnel in the command center are replaced with ours, the plan will succeed!" Shen Xudong clenched his fist, brimming with confidence.

"We can only rely on Han! Han, you are the person Alex trusts the most now. We can only count on you!" The legislators all looked at Shen Han with pleading eyes, filled with expectations.

Shen Han nodded and stood up. "I'll give it a try now! But, how do we ask Alex for the military orders? What excuse can we use?"

"That's it! You tell him that despite the previous parliamentarians' reluctance to follow his orders, they still resolutely complied with his arrangements." Gu slammed the table, quickly stood up, and said:

"Now that there's no longer food and supplies distributed by the command center, everyone has to form teams to collect resources on their own. However, for the first outing, the parliamentarians need the guidance and support of the Materials Collection Unit. We hope he can consider the previous contributions of the parliamentarians, assist them, and provide you with the military orders!

Ask him to let you lead a small team, coordinate with the parliamentarians, and collect resources independently!"

"Do you think this request is unreasonable at all? Plus, it was proposed by Han. Alex is bound to agree!" Gu said confidently.

"Good idea! This request is reasonable; let's go with it!" Other legislators brightened up at the suggestion, unanimously agreeing with Gu's strategy.

"Alright! I'll give it a try! But after the success, you must ensure Alex's safety!" Shen Han said, then turned and left with determined strides.

The entire secret room fell into silence once again. Everyone was waiting for good news from Shen Han.

As time passed, more than an hour later, Shen Han reappeared in the secret room.

"How did it go?" Everyone stood up eagerly, their eyes full of anticipation fixed on Shen Han.

Shen Han sighed slightly, expressing some anger. "I didn't expect Alex to be like this! I misjudged him!"

"What happened? Did Alex refuse? He won't agree to our reasonable request? Is he trying to force us to death?!" A middle-aged legislator slapped the table hard, roaring in uncontrollable anger.

"It seems like Alex wants to force us to death! If that's the case, we'll fight to the death against him! Our current strength is not weaker than his! If we fight to the death, we still have a chance!" Another legislator exclaimed, stirring up the crowd. The tense nerves made these people fragile.

"Don't be hasty, everyone! Alex didn't refuse, but he has conditions!! And..." Shen Han spoke, glancing at Guang Beijia with embarrassment.

Then, she bit her lip and gathered courage to say, "This scum Alex wants to use this matter to coerce everyone... to coerce General Guang..."

"What does that mean?! Han! What do you mean by that?" Guang Beijia suddenly had a bad feeling and anxiously pulled Shen Han, asking.

"Yeah! Han! What is Alex trying to coerce us to do?! Hurry up and make it clear!" Shen Xudong also became somewhat impatient.

Shen Han gritted her teeth, seemingly having made a big decision, and said, "Alex... this bastard, he says... he says that if the parliamentarians want the Materials Collection Unit to work together with them to find resources, they must pay the necessary price..."

"Alex was quite subtle when he told me, but I won't beat around the bush with you all! I'll directly tell you what he meant!" Shen Han tightly clenched her fists, looking at Guang Beijia with a mix of shame and indignation. "Alex's idea is that if he sends people to coordinate with you to search for resources, General Guang must accompany him once!!

Moreover, the resources you find must hand over half to him!"

"What?!!!" Guang Beijia suddenly felt as if thunder had struck, her mind went blank, her body staggered, and she sat heavily on the chair. Then, her face turned red, her eyes filled with anger, and her whole body trembled slightly.

"Unbelievable!! This Alex is despicable and shameless, going too far!!" Suppressing the shame and anger in her heart, Guang Beijia spoke with resentment.

"Bastard!! This scumbag Alex is going too far! Does he really think we are so easy to bully? I'll confront him right now!!" Ge slammed his hand on the chair, breaking it into pieces. The tremendous roar made everyone's eardrums tremble.

All the legislators present looked at each other, and chaos ensued.

In the entire secret room, silence descended.

Only Shen Xudong and the other two cunning legislators exchanged glances, a peculiar gleam appearing in their eyes.

This is good news!!

For them, this was tremendous news!

Alex's move was absolutely disgusting! Shen Han's recent revelation contained two crucial pieces of information.

Firstly, as long as Guang Beijia is willing to accompany Alex, Shen Han can obtain the military order! This means that Shen Han can mobilize the personnel of the Resource Collection Team, secretly replacing them with Ge's people in the command center!

Secondly, Alex's actions will undoubtedly offend Shen Han and Ge! Just by observing Shen Han's expressions of shame, anger, and disappointment, they could tell that Shen Han already had significant objections to Alex.

Previously, Shen Han joined Alex because she fell in love with him! Now, with Alex's despicable actions, Shen Han undoubtedly cannot accept it. Love, by nature, is fragile. Alex's behavior is a severe blow to Shen Han's face, completely breaking her heart!

Previously, there were concerns about Shen Han, but now everyone can trust her completely! A woman driven by love can be more formidable than someone seeking revenge for a murdered spouse.

As for Ge, it's even more apparent. He pursued Guang Beijia for so many years, never even holding her hand! However, the unattainable becomes even more precious. Despite Guang Beijia being a widow with a past, in Ge's heart, she remains a pure goddess. Now, Alex wants to force Ge's dreamlike goddess to accompany him.

If Guang Beijia agrees, Alex and Ge will undoubtedly become mortal enemies, even surpassing the hatred from a stolen wife.

Isn't this killing two birds with one stone? Not only can they secure military power, but they can also make their own side more united! Isn't this a tremendous stroke of luck?

In the eyes of Shen Xudong and the other two cunning legislators, Alex's actions are tantamount to self-destruction!

Now, it all depends on how Guang Beijia decides!!

Shen Xudong and the other two scheming legislators looked at Guang Beijia with anticipation. As long as she agrees, their plan will undoubtedly succeed!
