The middle-aged man frowned as he glanced at Alex, expressing his dissatisfaction, "The origins of these people are unknown. I absolutely won't agree to let them handle such crucial city defense tasks!"
Quickly following behind the middle-aged man, a large group of parliant mbers entered.
"Is it ti for General Lü to intervene in the arrangent of the City Defense Team?" Although the military man was also sowhat dissatisfied with Guangbei Jia's decision, when faced with the hostile faction, he chose to unconditionally support Guangbei Jia.
"I may not have the authority, but the parliant does!" The middle-aged man addressed as General Lü said with a self-satisfied expression, "Your unrestrained acceptance of survivors and casually entrusting such important city defense work to people with unknown backgrounds gives the right to propose revoking your managent authority over the City Defense Team!
I suggest transferring the personnel managent authority of the City Defense Team to the parliant and the Departnt of Personnel!"
"Yes! You're abusing your power! You're acting recklessly! You have not taken the safety of everyone into consideration at all! You must hand over the personnel managent of the City Defense Team!" A chorus of supportive voices erupted behind the man called General Lü.
All of these people were parliant mbers aligned with the Lü faction.
Guangbei Jia couldn't help but furrow her brow. She was well aware of the intentions of these people-they wanted to seize control of the City Defense Team to completely dominate the entire gathering place!
Several tis during the eting today, they had co dangerously close to succeeding. If it weren't for the strong resistance from the City Defense Team's Captain, Ke, who staunchly opposed them, Guangbei Jia might have already chosen to compromise by now.
Now, more than half of the parliant mbers have sided with Lü Weijiang. Except for the support from the City Defense Team and a few mbers of the parliant, Guangbei Jia finds herself surrounded.
The reason she still occupies the top position is entirely due to the prestige of Classical Ke within the City Defense Team and the support she enjoys among the ordinary survivors.
"You can try! See if my people will follow your orders!" The military man suddenly stood up, his tall stature and the imposing aura he exuded plunged the entire room into silence.
Those aligned with Lü Weijiang were visibly intimidated.
Facing Ke, a powerful mutant who not only held military authority but also possessed formidable combat strength, these people were clearly filled with fear.
Most mbers of the parliant were ordinary individuals, virtually powerless. They rarely engaged in practical activities and spent most of their ti in the conference room, emphasizing their perceived importance.
Despite their apparent lack of contribution, the parliant was regarded as a crucial departnt, wielding significant power and influence. This, perhaps, was a result of ingrained thinking patterns.
In Alex's view, in this post-apocalyptic world, having a parliant engaging in endless debates was a futile endeavor, tantamount to courting disaster. Not only were they ineffective, but internal strife could also lead to significant trouble.
The fact that the argunts among these people had escalated to such a heated level indicated that this seemingly impregnable shelter was facing a serious crisis.
"Captain, do you really think the City Defense Team is solely under your command?" A robust voice suddenly echoed from the entrance. A young man in military attire, accompanied by two youths dressed as squad leaders, pushed through the crowd and walked in. He sneered at Ke and said, "As long as it is detrintal to the developnt and safety of our shelter, the parliant has the right to refuse!
What do you intend to achieve with your autocratic actions?"
The young man had a robust and tall physique, clearly signaling that he was a skilled mutant among mutants. The two young n dressed as squad leaders behind him were also not to be underestimated.
All three of them were mutants!
"Zhang! You!" Ke stared in disbelief at his deputy, Zhang Jingwu, who had a cold smile on his face. He exclaid with a mix of shock and anger, "What do you an by this?"
"What do I an, Captain Classical? Don't you understand yet?" With Vice Captain Zhang Jingwu of the City Defense Team stepping forward, Lü Weijiang suddenly gained confidence!
With mbers of the City Defense Team supporting him, Lü Weijiang's side instantly appeared more formidable. The previously subdued group of parliant mbers regained their montum.
"Captain Ke, Deputy Captain Zhang is soon to be my son-in-law, about to marry my daughter. In a few days, we'll be inviting you to the wedding banquet. Hahaha." Lü Weijiang's conservative faction's second-in-command, Ping Deyuan, also joined the fray.
Behind him stood his daughter, Ping Qiyun.
She was known as the "Flower of the Shelter," a figure admired by everyone. Furthermore,
she was one of the few female mutants in the shelter, possessing unique abilities.
Although Alex remained calm, he cast a glance at Ping Qiyun. In his eyes, she was rely considered pretty. However, in this environnt, beautiful won were indeed scarce, especially one with extraordinary abilities.
Not every shelter was as filled with beautiful won as Alex's City of Darkness.
Ping Qiyun had an elegant and slender figure, carrying herself with grace and dignity. Her face exuded a noble aura, unmistakably identifying her as a refined young lady from an affluent family.
With her charming appearance and poised deanor, she was undeniably attractive. Even Alex, who had encountered countless won, found himself slightly intrigued by this
beautiful lady.
"Hmm... I need to find an opportunity to make my move before Deputy Captain Zhang gets to her," Alex contemplated, already devising a plan to seize the opportunity and win her favor. "Captain Ke, the City Defense Team is undoubtedly the most powerful force here, but having it under the sole control of one person, naly yourself, leaves everyone uneasy. Additionally, recent actions by your team have left many disappointed. Hence, the brothers have elected to join the council," Zhang Jingwu said, a faint smirk playing on his lips, a trace of triumph in his eyes.
Ever since the establishnt of the shelter, he had harbored desires for the beautiful Ping Qiyun. When she approached him today, he readily accepted her proposal.
Gaining greater power while bringing a beautiful woman ho? Why not?
In this post-apocalyptic world, betrayals were not considered shaful. Lack of power and strength, on the other hand, was deed the greatest disgrace.
Under the instigation of Ping Qiyun, Zhang Jingwu's long-suppressed ambitions erupted. Although he didn't possess exceptional strength within the City Defense Team, he had influence over a fifth of its mbers. Moreover, with the conservative faction holding absolute dominance in the council, the combination of the two forces could instantly suppress the opposing side led by Guang Beijia.
As Alex observed the unfolding situation, he rapidly analyzed that things had turned extrely unfavorable for Guang Beijia and her faction, considering the information provided by Shen Han earlier.
