Apocalypse - Evil Shelter System

Chapter 182: Desperation

Meanwhile, the groom, Zhang Jingwu, who had been listening on the side, had corners of his eyes rupturing from shame and anger. Fresh blood trickled down from his eye corners, and mouthfuls of blood surged out.

Just as Zhang Jingwu was about to lose consciousness, he seemed to hear Ping Qiyun softly saying, "Gu Dui! Zhang Jingwu has passed out..."

"Gu!!! Bastard!! So it was you!!" Zhang Jingwu roared angrily in his mind and finally slipped into unconsciousness.

The next morning, in the early hours, furious roars echoed from the bridal chamber. The door of the new room was violently kicked open, and Zhang Jingwu, looking like a madman, rushed out.

"Someone!! Gather all my brothers for me!! I'm going to fight that bastard Gu!!"

Warriors from the Public Security Management Brigade quickly gathered, all looking at their captain in astonishment. Zhang Jingwu was now bursting with blood, his eyes almost bursting out of their sockets, bloodstains on his mouth and eye corners, looking like a madman.

Lü Weijiang, Ping Deyuan, and others rushed over upon hearing the news. In the new room, the bride had long disappeared.

"Jingwu! What happened?! Where's Qiyun? Where did Qiyun go?" Ping Deyuan asked anxiously, looking at the destroyed bridal chamber where his daughter had vanished.

Zhang Jingwu coldly looked at Ping Deyuan, suddenly drew a pistol from his waist, and without a word, began shooting at Ping Deyuan.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!..."

A series of gunshots rang out, and Ping Deyuan was instantly riddled with bullets! Until his death, Ping Deyuan stared wide-eyed, unable to comprehend what had happened.

"Zhang Jingwu!! Have you gone mad?! What are you doing?! This is your father-in-law!" Lü Weijiang roared, and the guards behind him also pulled out their rifles, nervously aiming at Zhang Jingwu.

The guards under Zhang Jingwu instinctively picked up their rifles, all aiming at Lü Weijiang and others. The situation was on the verge of erupting.

"Father-in-law?! Hahaha! Ping Qiyun, that bitch, eloped with that bastard Gu last night!" Zhang Jingwu shouted frantically.

"Gu, this hypocrite! No wonder he didn't show up last night. He had already hooked up with that bitch Ping Qiyun!"

"What?!!" Lü Weijiang stared in disbelief at Zhang Jingwu, his mind in turmoil.

On the side, Lü Qi suddenly spoke up, "I suspect Gu's peace talks were all a sham! He's trying to deceive us! Just a moment ago, one of Shen Xudong's scouts informed me that Gu is secretly mobilizing troops. Moreover, Shen Xudong told his subordinates that this negotiation was just a ploy to deceive us and claimed that the big event was already settled!"

"What?!!" Now, not only was Zhang Jingwu astonished, but Lü Weijiang also exclaimed, urgently asking his son, "Is that person reliable?"

"Absolutely reliable!" Lü Qi's eye twitched, saying, "Moreover, when we first negotiated with Shen Xudong, didn't that old man outright reject us? Why would he suddenly take the initiative to propose peace talks later? Father, don't you find this matter extremely suspicious?"

"Damn it! These bastards! They've gone too far!" Lü Weijiang was now furious.

"All personnel, enter combat readiness! Follow me for a surprise attack on the command center! Today, we will confront these despicable people head-on!" Zhang Jingwu roared, his face fierce, filled with killing intent, leading the personal guard towards the command center!

"Wait!"

At this moment, Alex, accompanied by the elite of the supplies collection team, suddenly appeared and blocked the path of the security management team. "Captain Zhang, now that everyone already knows about this incident! If you go over there now, how could Gu not be prepared?

We just received information that Gu has already laid heavy troops in ambush near the command center, waiting for you to go there and meet your death! Think about it, are you going there for revenge or to throw your lives away?"

Zhang Jingwu's face was fierce, and he gritted his teeth, shouting, "Even if it means throwing our lives away, I will take Gu down with me!"

Alex's expression turned serious, and with sympathy, he approached and restrained the enraged Zhang Jingwu, saying, "Captain Zhang! What Gu is doing now has solid evidence! Why rush to confront him in a life-and-death struggle?"

Alex continued, pointing towards Lü Weijiang, "General Lü is also here now. We can completely have General Lü convene a parliamentary meeting in his capacity as the speaker to convict Gu! Once the parliament holds Gu accountable, his ugly face will be exposed for everyone to see. At that time, Gu will undoubtedly face public condemnation.

Even if he refuses to face justice, with the combined strength of our two teams, coupled with the pressure from the parliament, I don't believe we can't overcome Gu!"

This speech by Alex presented the best option for Zhang Jingwu and the others at the moment. Moreover, Alex spoke with an extremely sincere expression, even subtly praising Lü Weijiang.

"Yes! Alex is right! I will lead my men to the command center immediately and convene a parliamentary meeting! With concrete evidence, let's see what else Gu and Guangbei Jia, these two hypocrites, have to say!" Lü Weijiang's eyes flashed with a hint of brightness. Alex's suggestion was currently the best course of action. If handled properly, it could completely put Gu in an untenable position.

Although there were still many suspicious aspects to this matter, if it meant putting Gu in an impossible situation, Lü Weijiang didn't care about the details. Watching the biggest thorn in his side about to be removed, Lü Weijiang couldn't help but feel excited.

Getting rid of Gu meant overturning the power of Guangbei Jia completely. Without the support of military force and the unfavorable situation in the parliament, Lü Weijiang could have complete control over the decisions made. Controlling the parliament was equivalent to controlling the entire base shelter!

As for those troublemakers in the city defense team, he could slowly find a way to eliminate them!
