Apocalypse - Evil Shelter System

Chapter 185: Holding Absolute Power!

"Hahaha!!" Gu laughed heartily, looking up to the sky. "Did you listen to my explanation? Did you ever believe me? We've known each other for so long, am I that kind of person? If I were, I wouldn't have saved you all in the first place!!"

After speaking, Gu roared, blood surging through his veins. He let out an angry shout and swung his knife towards Zhang Jingwu. "Zhang Jingwu! Don't think I don't know that all of this is your conspiracy! I treated you like a brother, and you betrayed me, even trying to frame me! Die!!"

At this moment, Gu was convinced that all of this was Zhang Jingwu's scheme. Even if Zhang Jingwu harmed him again, the only one who could have turned his trusted guards against him was Zhang Jingwu. Despite discussing important matters with Shen Xudong last night, Zhang Jingwu insisted that he had gone to the new house. Who else but Zhang Jingwu could frame and betray him like this?

Zhang Jingwu, with eyes wide in anger, faced his enemy with a deep-seated grudge. Thinking of the events of last night, he was on the verge of going mad. Without saying a word, he unsheathed his war knife, roared, and lunged towards Gu!

"Boom!!"

Both were experts in internal energy and ability users. Powerful internal energy erupted as soon as they clashed. The surrounding parliament members, who were powerless and only good at talking, were sent flying.

Even the soldiers behind Zhang Jingwu couldn't withstand the power of such internal energy and were forced to retreat. Zhang Jingwu's knife skills were learned from Gu, and despite Gu's thorough teachings and Zhang Jingwu's talent, he was no match for Gu. Under Gu's frenzied attacks, Zhang Jingwu kept retreating.

In addition to the intense battle, Gu casually killed several nearby parliament members. In the blink of an eye, several more lawmakers lost their lives under Gu's blade.

While Zhang Jingwu and several elite mutant soldiers from the security management squad were spitting blood and falling to the ground, Gu roared, wielding his large knife like the wind. "Die!! All of you die!! Everyone here today must die!!"

Gu's blade swung wildly towards Zhang Jingwu and the surrounding lawmakers. The intense sword energy could easily harvest the lives of everyone in front of him, including Guangbeijia and Shen Xudong, who were hiding behind some lawmakers.

Guangbeijia screamed in terror and closed her eyes in despair. Zhang Jingwu also roared angrily, his eyes filled with unwillingness. The surrounding lawmakers were scared out of their wits, collapsing to the ground, urine and feces flowing.

However, in the next moment, a figure flashed by, and the light of the blade sparkled! A man holding a knife descended like a god.

"Boom!!!" A thunderous sound, a burst of energy exploded like a howling gale. Gu was instantly blasted away, crashing heavily on the ground, unconscious.

This man was none other than Alex, who had been coldly observing from the sidelines. The timing of his intervention was perfect. Most of the obstructive lawmakers were already dead, and those who could resist Gu were now powerless. Now was the best time for Alex to demonstrate his power.

It was not too early, as these people had not yet experienced the maximum fear and despair. Their gratitude towards Alex wouldn't be as pronounced. But if he intervened too late, with everyone dead, it wouldn't be what Alex desired.

At this moment, when these people were about to face death and their spirits were on the verge of collapsing, Alex descended with a god-like image, planting a profound impression in their hearts.

Alex had indeed achieved his goal perfectly!

All the onlookers stared in astonishment at Alex. Their eyes expressed not only shock and disbelief but also deep gratitude and admiration.

Especially Zhang Jingwu, who had already developed an intense admiration for Alex, swore in his heart that after this incident, he would find a way to repay him no matter what.

Guangbeijia, on the other hand, looked at Alex with a face full of horror. Her perception of Alex became even more extraordinary.

Shen Xudong was trembling with excitement, eager to announce to everyone that this formidable person was his son-in-law. With so many people and so many guns unable to handle Gu, Alex, with just one move, sent Gu flying!

Gu, in front of Alex, surprisingly had no means to retaliate. Such a person was indeed too powerful and, moreover, so young!

Alex casually turned his head and glanced at the crowd, then ordered Shen Han and others outside the door, "Bring Gu to me, lock him up in the dungeon, and assign people to guard him day and night! Without my command, no one is allowed to approach! Otherwise, it's a kill-on-sight offense!"

Alex's domineering command made everyone present tremble involuntarily.

Powerful!

Majestic!

Dominant!

Just!

Alex's god-like image was gradually forming in the hearts of these people.

With the situation settled, everyone was still trembling from the recent events. Alex turned around, smiling, and extended his hand towards Guangbeijia and Zhang Jingwu.

Without hesitation, Zhang Jingwu stood up and suddenly knelt down, respectfully declaring to Alex, "I, Zhang Jingwu, pledge my unwavering loyalty to Lord Xiao! From now on, I and the Security Management Squad are willing to obey Lord Xiao's orders without any reservations! Till death do us part!"

Shen Xudong also hurriedly stood up, then with a "plop," he knelt down, "I propose that from today onwards, Alex takes over Gu's position, serving as the Captain of the City Defense Brigade and concurrently as the Speaker of the Council!"

Several legislators who had already sided with Alex quickly stood up to express their support and recommend Alex.

Alex pulled Guangbeijia up, smiling at her, and kindly asked, "Miss Guang, what's your opinion?"

Guangbeijia's heart raced as she met Alex's gaze and hurriedly nodded, saying, "I have no objections. Captain Xiao, it's well-deserved!"

At this moment, several members of the City Defense Brigade's personal guard, who had been standing outside the door, also walked in. They half-knelt to Alex, saluting and loudly declaring, "We are also willing to pledge our unwavering loyalty to Captain Xiao! From now on, only Captain Xiao's commands shall be followed!"

In such an atmosphere, some legislators and power holders who initially harbored hostility towards Alex had no choice but to lower their heads and express their approval.

Lü Qi held his father Lü Weijiang's lifeless body, dumbfoundedly watching everything happening in front of him. He suddenly sensed the scent of conspiracy.

Everything about this incident was so suspicious. Both sides fought fiercely, but in the end, Gu died, his father died, and the ultimate beneficiary turned out to be Alex, who had just joined the shelter with no power or influence.

Since Alex arrived at the shelter, every event seemed so peculiar, as if... deliberately orchestrated!

If Alex was so powerful, why didn't he act earlier?

What benefits could Gu gain from his actions last night?

Everything seemed so illogical!

"I disagree with this matter! Alex's qualifications are too shallow, taking such an important position hastily might be detrimental to the future development of our shelter!"

"Yes! After all, Alex's qualifications are too shallow and he's too young. Haphazardly appointing him to such an important position is not a good thing." The legislators who were initially on Lü Weijiang's side, seeing someone take the lead, also stood up one after another to voice their opposition.

"Swoosh!" A flash of the blade.

Lü Qi's head fell directly to the ground, and the faces of the legislators who had stood up to support him were now splattered with blood.

Feeling the warm blood flowing on their faces, all the legislators present were stunned!

Alex smiled at the protesting legislators and said, "Do you still have any objections?"

Stunned!!!

Everyone present stared with wide eyes at Lü Qi's lifeless body!

Did Lü Qi just die?

For expressing an opposing opinion in the council...

He got killed?!!

Alex was completely playing by his own rules!!!

One disagreement, and he resorts to killing!

What!!!

Who else would dare to voice objections?!!

"None, none! We have no objections at all! Alex is well-deserving of the position of captain and parliament chairman! We wholeheartedly support it!"

The few legislators who had initially wanted to stand up and protest were now crawling on the ground like dogs, loudly expressing their support for Alex and strongly urging him to take on the position of parliament chairman, pledging their loyalty.

"Oh no! Oh no!" Just then, a guard rushed in, shouting loudly in the council, "The members of the City Defense Team have surrounded the main gate of the Command Center. They demand the release of Gu. Otherwise, they will attack the command center, risking everything!"

"What?!!"

"How dare they!! These damned traitors?!!"

"Nonsense! These damn fools!"

"Alex, you better give orders now. Let the Security Management Team and the Materials Collection Team eliminate these troublemakers!"

"No, these people have heavy weapons, and they also control the explosives warehouse. If we really fight to the death, we will all be finished!"

"What should we do then? Should we release Gu?"

"Absolutely not. Gu has gone mad. If we let him out, we're all doomed!"

For a moment, the entire council chamber descended into chaos, and everyone was in a panic.

Only Alex, with a slight upward curve at the corner of his mouth, didn't seem to care about the situation at all.

All of this was already within his expectations!

As for the situation with Pippi, it should be about the same!
