Chapter 167: Alex's Conspiracy
Meanwhile, in another office, Lv Weijiang and Ping Deyuan were both looking at the surveillance outside the window, lost in thought. Lv Bao, Lv Qi, and Ping Qiyun were each sitting on the sofa, discussing something.
"What's Peng Le and this Alex up to? Why are they suddenly leaving the city to collect supplies?" Ping Deyuan frowned.
"I think both of these individuals are not simple. They have ambitions. We should seize the opportunity to win them over. As long as we can gain their support, our major plans will soon succeed!" Lv Weijiang's lips curled slightly, speaking with a smug expression.
Another victory today brought him one step closer to the pinnacle of power. In his eyes, concepts like the council, equality for all, and saving humanity were all jokes. In this post-apocalyptic world, as long as he could comfortably survive, that was enough.
With such a great shelter and abundant resources, as long as they guarded their territory, he could be a local emperor for a lifetime.
Once he eliminated people like Guangbei Jia and Gudian Ke, all the women and resources here would be under his control.
Equality for all? Hah! That was just a joke! Even before the apocalypse, there was no equality for all! Those lower-class individuals should be enslaved by superior ones!
People should be divided into different classes! As for the survivors in Jiangcheng City facing dire situations, what did they have to do with him?
Are they our own family?
Do we owe them anything?
Heh!
Only fools like Guangbei Jia and Ke would think of saving survivors!
Only fools would sacrifice themselves to save others!
People are inherently selfish!
People only care for themselves, and heaven and earth will be damned!
"In addition, Xiao Qi, you also need to figure out a way to deal with Shen Han as soon as possible. This woman has high prestige in the first team. If you can win her over, you can gain the support of Shen Xudong and the first team! By then, with the addition of Peng Le and Alex, we will have absolute strength to overthrow Guangbei Jia and Gudian Ke!"
Lv Weijiang turned to his son and continued, "At that time, this perfect shelter will become the possession of our two families! The people here will become our slaves! Our two families can live an emperor-like life here!"
"At that time, regardless of the raging storms outside, we can simply enjoy life! Hahaha!"
Ping Deyuan also burst into laughter on the side. "By dealing with Zhang Jingwu this time, we have taken a step towards victory. If Xiao Qi can handle Shen Han, we'll be even closer to our grand plan!"
Ping Qiyun sneered and said coldly, "This Zhang Jingwu is like a lazy toad dreaming of eating swan meat, a coarse and vulgar man thinking he can win my favor! How delusional!"
"Humph! Zhang Jingwu is still useful for now. Once we deal with Ke, the first person I want to eliminate is Zhang Jingwu!" Lv Bao looked at Ping Qiyun with a fiery gaze, a twinkle of admiration in his eyes. "A martial trash like him is nowhere near worthy of Qiyun!"
"Also, this Alex guy, damn it, I see he seems to have some interest in Han. We must find a way to eliminate such a person!" Lv Qi's face revealed a jealous expression, and his eyes were full of hatred.
Before the apocalypse, he had been pursuing Shen Han, but she had always kept her distance from him, making him feel extremely uncomfortable, like a cat on hot bricks. Especially after seeing Shen Han's admiring eyes towards Alex, he harbored an intense hatred for Alex.
...
Amidst the scheming of these individuals, Alex had already led Peng Le's third team towards the City of Darkness at high speed.
Peng Le, fueled by immense ambition, was eager to transform all his subordinates into mutants to gain more powerful strength and greater authority. Little did he know that ahead of him lay a massive trap!
After breaking through several zombie blockades, the convoy of the third team finally appeared unscathed outside the gates of Jiangcheng University.
"Alex! Along this journey, it's really thanks to all of you! I never expected the combat effectiveness of your brothers to be so formidable! Truly admirable, as expected of someone under Peng!" After experiencing a few breakouts, Peng Le had witnessed the impressive capabilities of Alex's mutant team, and his desire to win them over became even stronger. However, his gaze towards Alex turned colder.
"Alex, the place I mentioned is right inside here! The location is extremely hidden; from a distance, you can't see anything, but as you get closer, you'll discover it's like another world! Truly miraculous! With our current force of over sixty people, if 90% of them can transform into mutants, plus my fifteen people, we'll have a mutant team of over sixty people!
With such a powerful force, we can easily take control of the shelter's authority! By then, we'll be influential figures! The two of us will be living the good life!"
Alex started to bewitch Peng Le again with his words, while Peng Le had a cold smile in his heart, constantly sneering at Alex's words. If his subordinates could truly all become mutants, the first person he would eliminate would be Alex. The one enjoying the good life would only be Peng Le; everyone else would only be his underlings!
He would not allow anyone to share power with him or threaten his position.
"Alex! Hurry and lead your brothers over! Rest assured, as long as what you said is true, you'll have great merit. When I seize the authority, half of the base will be yours!" Peng Le generously patted Alex's shoulder, putting on a sincere and grateful appearance.
Alex responded with flattering words, leading the members of the first team towards the location of City of Darkness. The puppet warriors under Alex's control began to discreetly retreat.
"This is indeed a hidden treasure trove! There seem to be fewer zombies around here!" Peng Le laughed heartily as he looked at the surroundings.
Now he increasingly felt that what Alex said was true!
"Fantastic!!! With this opportunity, I can have a mutant army of over sixty people!"
"With such an army! I, Peng Le, can also compete with those high and mighty upper-class individuals!"
"Why should kings, nobles, and generals have all the fun?"
"Soon, I, Peng Le, will rise to the upper class! Playing with the women of the upper class!"
"I've had enough of those arrogant bullies! This time, I'm going to turn the tables and crush those bastards under my feet!"
Peng Le recalled the oppression and mockery he faced after entering the shelter. He remembered the blood, tears, and sweat shed as he climbed up from the bottom.
He hated!
He craved even more!
He yearned for the day when he could stand in the shoes of those people and trample everyone beneath his feet!
To become one of those high and mighty upper-class individuals!
As Peng Le was immersed in his thoughts, Alex's voice came from behind him: "Peng, we're here!"
