Apocalypse Shelter System

Chapter 179: Secret Collaboration?

 n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

In the evening, the formidable logistics collection team once again returned to the base shelter. Countless supplies were unloaded from the vehicles by soldiers from various factions, attracting a gathering of numerous survivors.

Alex led his team in distributing the supplies within the base. The other two squads quietly returned to their respective barracks. As a large amount of supplies were distributed, Alex's reputation soared.

"He's trying to win people's hearts!" Lv Qi watched Shen Han closely following Alex, behaving obediently, and couldn't contain his anger. "This scumbag, I've been chasing her for so many years, and she wouldn't even let me touch her! Now, she's like a dog following that damn outsider! So damn shameless!!"

Lv Weijiang, on the other hand, stared from afar at Lv Bao, who was distributing supplies with a deep sense of hatred. "Damn Lv Bao! How did our Lv family produce such a treacherous wolf! Bastard! If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have saved this ungrateful beast!"

The once-promising situation of the Lv family plummeted instantly after Lv Bao's betrayal. Now, the influence they could control was getting smaller, and many senators had covertly sided with Alex.

"No! We must expedite the marriage between Qiyun and Zhang Jingwu! This kid Alex is getting bigger and bigger. If we don't find a way to restrain him soon, it will be a disaster in the future!"

Seeing the increasing power in Alex's hands and the growing support from civilians within the base shelter, Lv Weijiang felt a tremendous crisis.

"Also, Lv Qi, tonight you go contact Gu and see what he says! We absolutely cannot sit back and watch Alex grow stronger! If this continues, both sides will be doomed!"

"But, Alex has already joined us now. With our current power, combined with Alex, we can easily seize the opportunity to launch a surprise attack and capture Gu and his people! By then, this base shelter will be under our control, won't it?" Ping Deyuan said with a furrowed

brow.

According to Ping Deyuan's plan, he naturally hoped for both sides to continue their conflict. Currently, most of the senators had covertly sided with Ping Deyuan, and an agreement had been reached with Alex in secret. Ping Deyuan was waiting for the opportune moment when Lv Weijiang and Gu would be weakened, and then, with the support of Alex and Zhang Jingwu, he could ascend to power.

Of course, Ping Deyuan approved of expediting the marriage between his daughter and Zhang Jingwu.

However, Alex's rapid rise made Ping Deyuan, too, feel somewhat unable to control the situation.

"Deyuan, you are too naive! Alex is extremely ambitious! From the moment he entered our base shelter, every step he took was calculated for victory, with deep meaning in each move! Such a person is undoubtedly a cunning strategist! Do you think someone like him would willingly be subordinated to us? Become a tool in our hands?

He is different from Zhang Jingwu and Gu; we can control those two, make them our tools, but this Alex, we absolutely cannot control him!" Lv Weijiang gave Ping Deyuan a meaningful look, his expression heavy and his gaze complex.

Ping Deyuan shuddered suddenly, feeling a wave of fear in his heart.

Being reminded by Lv Weijiang, he suddenly realized that his previous thoughts were indeed too naive!!

But...

He had already betrayed Lv Weijiang at this point. In this situation, could he just be honest with Lv Weijiang now?!

Impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

Even if Alex's allegiance was insincere, he still had control over Zhang Jingwu and the security management team! As long as Zhang Jingwu and the security management team were protecting him, he didn't have to fear anyone turning against him!

"President Lv, you're right! We must find a way to restrain Alex. Let's set Qiyun's wedding for tomorrow!" Now, Ping Deyuan was more anxious than anyone else.

Beside him, Ping Qiyun couldn't help but tremble after hearing her father's words. Just a moment ago, Alex sent someone to find her, asking her to spend the night with him! And tomorrow was her wedding day!

"Damn it! Why does Alex have to torture me like this!!" Ping Qiyun's heart was in turmoil. To go or not to go - what did that make her?

She was getting married tomorrow, but tonight, she had to willingly give herself to another

man.

If she didn't go, her secrets would be exposed by Alex. Regardless of what would happen between Alex and Zhang Jingwu, she and her family would be doomed!

"What should I do?!" Ping Qiyun's face went through various changes - sometimes pale, sometimes ashen.

Meanwhile, in a concealed corner, Guangbei Jia was observing every move of Alex and the others.

Gu's expression was extremely solemn. The immense sense of crisis made him feel the threat posed by Alex: "This Alex is undoubtedly a cunning strategist! In just a few days, he has already gained control of thirty percent of the armed forces in our base shelter! And I heard that many senators are leaning towards Alex!

Now, with his aggressive strategy of winning people's hearts, I believe it won't be long before he becomes the new Speaker!"

"Yes!" Guangbei Jia also began to realize the severity of the situation. The sense of crisis that Alex was now giving them had surpassed that of LV Weijiang and others.

"Xudong, we absolutely cannot allow Alex to continue developing like this. Tonight, you go contact Lv Weijiang's side and see what they mean. Regardless of the conflict, before that, we must unite and suppress Alex!" Guangbei Jia, with a grim expression, looked at the civilians in front of her who were now rallying behind Alex, a situation she had saved them from.

It made her increasingly uncomfortable.

In her heart, what she valued the most was not power and wealth, but the adoration and support of ordinary civilians. She liked to hear praise, she liked to see the common people rallying behind her. She hoped to contribute significantly to the continuation of humanity in this post-apocalyptic world, earning eternal glory.

But this man in front of her had actually stolen the admiration of the common people from

her!

This, absolutely, could not be forgiven!

"Yes!" Shen Xudong nodded, bowed, and left.

In his eyes, however, there was a cold and sinister look.

"Hmph! Trying to unite against my daughter and son-in-law?! Guangbei Jia, you're still a bit naive! As long as I, Shen Xudong, am here, you can forget about going against my daughter

and son-in-law!

After all, everything these two kids do is for me!" Shen Xudong turned his head, glanced at Alex and his own daughter, silently vowing, "As long as I, Shen Xudong, am here, even if I have to risk my life, I will ensure the safety of my daughter!"
