Apocalypse - Evil Shelter System

"Freaking kneel down, or you'll be damned!" Zhang Jingwu's expression was arrogant, his attitude was overbearing as he looked around, exuding extreme arrogance.

In his view, the overall situation was already within his grasp!

Controlling Alex meant controlling the Materials Collection Team. Controlling the squad leaders of the City Defense Team meant complete control over the entire City Defense Team! Add to that these parliament members!

Almost all the influential figures in the entire refuge base were under his control!

However, at this moment, the heavily injured patient, Alex, whom everyone had almost overlooked, suddenly spoke up, "Zhang Jingwu, do you mean I have to kneel down to you as well?"

His voice was indifferent, even carrying a hint of disdain.

As Alex spoke, all eyes turned towards him. Zhang Jingwu was slightly stunned. Even though Alex was currently seriously injured, there was an instinctive fear in Zhang Jingwu's heart.

Glancing at Alex, covered in bandages and appearing weak, Zhang Jingwu suddenly turned fierce. Pointing the gun at Alex, he said menacingly, "Of course, you have to kneel down for me! You, a newcomer, what do you think you are? If I tell you to kneel down, do you have any objections? Do you really think, with your tricks of winning hearts, you can compete with me?

When I established this refuge, you were probably still figuring out where to relieve yourself! To challenge me, you're still too green!! Ugh..."

Zhang Jingwu's arrogant and overbearing words were cut short as a military dagger thrust out from his chest. Blood gushed out madly along the dagger's groove.

"Ugh... Heh heh... Ugh ugh..." Zhang Jingwu spewed blood from his mouth, slowly turning his head.

Behind him stood his captain of the personal guard, his most trusted brother, holding a military dagger and sneering at him.

"You... heh heh... You actually... Why did you... Ugh ugh... Why did you betray me..."

Swish!

A flash of the blade, and another member of the personal guard chopped off Zhang Jingwu's head. Blood sprayed, and the entire command center was filled with a pungent smell of blood.

Blood splatters scattered like rainwater everywhere. The captain of Zhang Jingwu's personal guard picked up Zhang Jingwu's head, walked in front of Alex, and knelt down, saying, "My lord, Zhang Jingwu, who betrayed you, has been executed!"

Alex's indifferent voice rang out again, "Hang Zhang Jingwu's head at the entrance of the command center, let everyone see the fate of those who betray me!"

Pausing for a moment, Alex turned around, smiling kindly at everyone in the command center, "Clean up this place. An hour later, everyone gather at the training ground in front of the command center!"

With that, Alex ignored the expressions and reactions of everyone present, showing no intention of asking for anyone's opinion. He turned and walked towards the office.

Everything that had just happened was actually under Alex's control. Zhang Jingwu's personal guard had been turned into a puppet by Alex during their last mission.

The reason why Alex deliberately arranged for these people to guard the command center was to test Zhang Jingwu and the others present, to see what kind of drama they would perform. On the one hand, it provided an opportunity to eliminate some individuals with ulterior motives. On the other hand, it served as a means to establish authority.

However, the most crucial point was Alex's desire to understand people's hearts. Honestly, based on Zhang Jingwu's previous behavior, Alex initially thought that Zhang Jingwu had genuinely pledged allegiance. If Zhang Jingwu didn't have a history of betraying Gu, Alex would have almost relaxed his guard against him.

But! Unexpectedly, Zhang Jingwu couldn't resist the temptation and immediately sought to rebel when the opportunity arose. The oath of loyalty sworn just the day before was quickly forgotten, and he rebelliously seized the chance.

Thinking about the earnest and admiring expression Zhang Jingwu had when he initially pledged allegiance, and the sincere words that seemed to come from the heart, Alex suddenly understood why Gu had trusted Zhang Jingwu so much in the beginning.

Zhang Jingwu, with his abilities and acting skills, easily gained the trust of others. Yet, he was also ambitious and unwilling to be subordinate to others.

The door to the prison cell swung open, and Gu, with a stern expression, walked out. He looked at his subordinates standing respectfully in front of him and coldly said, "This incident was a setup by Zhang Jingwu in collusion with Lv Weijiang. None of those senators above can be spared. I want them all dead!! After I leave, immediately open the explosives warehouse for me, then each of you can leave!

This shelter was built by us, and those people were also saved by us. Now, it's time for them to repay us!"

After speaking, Gu looked coldly at the two squad leaders under his command. As soon as the two turned to leave as ordered, Gu would promptly eliminate them. However, the two squad leaders, who had always been loyal to Gu, lowered their heads at this moment and showed no intention of moving.

"Captain, things outside have changed. Alex now holds the power! Those damn senators can't cause trouble anymore!"

"Yeah! Captain! Alex saved everyone today. He is rational, righteous, brave, discerning right from wrong, straightforward, and trustworthy. He is an excellent leader! This time, it was also Alex who ordered to release you!"

"Moreover, Zhang Jingwu has already been ordered by Alex to be beheaded! Sir, your revenge has been avenged!"

While explaining, the two squad leaders firmly rejected Gu's command. They had expected Gu to be furious, but unexpectedly, Gu suddenly smiled, indifferent, and said, "Very well. I hope you remember what you just said. From today onwards, we will become the sharp blades in Alex's hands, fighting to establish his absolute authority here! Whoever dares to betray Alex, I will be the first to kill him!"

Having said that, Gu, without even glancing at the dumbfounded squad leaders, walked towards the prison exit, saying, "Let's go! We're going to see Alex!"
