Apocalypse - Evil Shelter System-Chapter 193: Disobedience? Death!

Abolishing the council, what does that mean?

It means a complete overhaul of all the systems in the Base Shelter!

It means Alex will have absolute power alone!

This is no different from being a tyrant, it's like a sovereign ruler with no constraints or balance!

Alex controls both decision-making and military power with no limitations or checks!

This is essentially becoming a tyrant!

More importantly, Alex ensures that senators and ordinary civilians enjoy equal treatment!

What does that mean?!

How can these clever people who like to exploit loopholes not understand the deeper meaning!?

To enjoy equal treatment means that these senators will no longer have any special status, no special treatment.

No different from ordinary civilians!

No special food supply!

No special living conditions!

No power or authority whatsoever!

In other words, from now on, they are just ordinary civilians!

If they want to eat, they must either farm or risk their lives going outside with the resource collection team to gather supplies!

No one will fear them anymore, seek refuge with them, and no one will supply their needs for life!!!

However!

These people, besides giving orders and playing political games with their tongues, don't know anything at all!

In a world outside full of zombies, going to fight and collect resources, they are all fat and lazy, with no combat ability; they would die as soon as they go out!

To go and cultivate the land, how can they endure such hardship?!!

Each one of them is already in their forties or fifties, yet their hands are still so delicate.

I reckon from childhood to adulthood, they have never experienced the feeling of doing rough work!

Alex, this is pushing them onto a path of no return!!!

"I object! What do you think you are? You've only been here for a few days, and you want to abolish the parliamentary system and play the tyrant like a sovereign ruler?!!"

An elderly senator strides toward the platform where Alex is, berating him loudly as he walks, "If it weren't for the capable leadership of our parliament, could you have established such a good shelter? Could you have held off the crisis of the zombie tide? Abolishing the parliamentary system is inviting destruction upon ourselves!"

"Anyone who dares to abolish the parliamentary system is a malicious thief with ulterior motives! They are villains who want to harm all of us! Comrades, we absolutely cannot allow Alex to act arbitrarily! We must firmly defend the parliamentary system to ensure the interests of all of us and the better development of the shelter!"

As this prestigious old senator rises to confront Alex, other senators suddenly find courage. Several senators stand up simultaneously, vigorously addressing Alex, protesting loudly, hoping to gain the support of the defense team and ordinary civilians through their prestige and appeal, to collectively overthrow Alex.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Gunshots ring out.

The three leading senators are instantly shot in the head.

The other senators who joined in the uproar were immediately frightened, trembling in fear. Some of the more timid ones were so scared that they involuntarily urinated.

Without any warning, Alex resorted to killing!

He didn't give anyone a chance to speak!!

All the senators glared at Alex with faces full of hatred, but dared not speak out. Alex held all the military power in the Base Shelter, and now, no one could contend with him!

"I called you all here today to announce these two things. Please listen carefully! I am here to declare, not to negotiate with anyone! What I say today is an order! Anyone who dares to resist or deceive will be killed without mercy!!"

After finishing his statement, Alex waved to the crowd, saying, "Everyone, disperse! Do whatever work needs to be done! From today onwards, anyone who doesn't work, no matter who you are, don't expect to receive any supplies from the warehouse!! Our Base Shelter will not support any idle individuals!"

As soon as Alex spoke, there was a burst of cheers among the ordinary civilians and common soldiers! They had always been oppressed and exploited. Now, without the oppression and exploitation of the council, without the monthly tribute to the council, they could live more comfortably and see the hope of working hard.

Alex coldly glanced at Guang Beijia and the other senators before turning around and leaving with large strides.

After Alex and the security management team dispersed, bursts of cheers and laughter erupted from the crowd. Looking at the gathered senators with worried faces, many civilians, who had been oppressed before, began mocking them. Some went even further, extending middle fingers to a few of the fat and lazy senators and spitting on the ground.

For these bloodsucking parasites who had always exploited everyone without doing anything, everyone was enjoying the show.

No one sympathized with them, and no one came to their aid.

Some rejoiced while others felt sorrow.

Amidst the cheers and mockery of the ordinary civilians,

The former senators, one by one, hung their heads in dejection, their eyes filled with anger and helplessness.

Once elevated, now they were even worse off than ordinary civilians!

Even worse, they were mocked and taunted by the same civilians they had previously ignored.

This made them feel on the verge of a mental breakdown.

They wished they could tear Alex apart right now!!

However, all the military power was in Alex's hands.

The control over the entire Defense Team was firmly in Alex's grip!

Moreover, Alex didn't give them any chance for negotiation, not even the opportunity to speak.

Let alone protest.

One word, and he would resort to killing!

What use was protesting? It was like volunteering for death.

In such a situation, these once eloquent senators suddenly felt the painful realization of being "a scholar meeting a soldier."

They were filled with a sense of powerlessness and despair!

They were utterly powerless!

Facing such a domineering ruler like Alex, they had no chance of resistance.

Because they relied on their eloquence.

And their opponent was entirely unreasonable! freeweɓnovel.cøm

Not only would he not listen to any of their opinions, but he would also kill without hesitation at the slightest disagreement!

"Now what do we do? We've really brought a tiger into our midst. This Alex is like a tiger, ready to devour the entire shelter! If we don't find a way to resist, what future do we have?" exclaimed an angry and frustrated senator through gritted teeth.

"What else can we do? The military power is in his hands now, and he kills without hesitation. What options do we have? The entire shelter is already under his control. If we want to resist, it's a dead end!" Another senator sighed in despair.

"Zhang Jingwu is already dead. Now, even the security management team is under Alex's control. Even if some soldiers have objections to Alex killing Zhang Jingwu, they dare not speak up."

"The resource collection team has already sided with Alex, and there's no way we can win them over. With no council now, we're no different from ordinary peasants. Who will listen to us? If the supplies are cut off in the future, we won't even have food to eat. How can we win over those well-supplied soldiers? We're finished!

Alex's move is truly a decisive blow!"

Just when everyone felt hopeless, Shen Xudong suddenly spoke up, "No!! You're all wrong! We haven't reached a dead end! On the contrary, our opportunity has come!"

"What do you mean? Speaker Shen, have you come up with a solution?" Guang Beijia's eyes lit up, staring at Shen Xudong.

Other senators also gathered around, hope evident in their eyes. However, some senators suddenly thought of Shen Xudong's current identity. After all, Alex was now Shen Xudong's son-in-law, and it wouldn't be wise to go against Alex!

"There is a solution, of course! But this is not the place for us to discuss. Follow me to the secret room in my house, and we can plan in detail there!" Shen Xudong's eyes flashed with a hint of hatred and madness.

In his heart, he bitterly said, "Alex! You bastard dare to play me, use me! Even if you marry my daughter, I'll still kill you!"

Shen Xudong was one of the original proponents and architects of the parliamentary system. He was even one of the earliest three speakers. He was an ardent supporter of the parliamentary system, dreaming of one day sitting in the position of the Chief Speaker.

However, Alex has now directly abolished the parliamentary system, shattering all the promises and beautiful aspirations Shen Xudong had for it. Shen Xudong has never felt such intense hatred. Alex had given him so much hope, only for it to turn out to be a deception!

He had invested so much, only to find that not only did he fail to reach the pinnacle, but it was as if the mountain he had been climbing all his life had disappeared!

Although he could have a good life by supporting Alex, especially since his daughter was now Alex's woman, it was not what he desired. Shen Xudong pursued turning his ideals into reality, holding power in his hands, being admired by all, and achieving the kind of glory that would be remembered in history.

Now, not only did Alex fail to help him achieve the promises made initially, but Alex also became the person Shen Xudong had aspired to be.

Shen Xudong hated! He was furious! He wanted to resist! He wanted revenge!! Similar feelings brewed among the other senators here! Especially Guang Beijia, the abolition of the parliamentary system, the loss of military power, and the disdain from the common people towards Alex left her feeling a deep sense of loss.

It was as if she, who once had ten million in cash, had instantly turned into a beggar!

At this moment, Guang Beijia regretted many of her previous decisions more than ever before!

If fate could grant her another chance at wielding power, this time, she would undoubtedly follow Alex's example and rule with an iron fist!

Among the senators, each person harbored their own thoughts, calculating the gains and losses for themselves. However, this time, an unprecedented unity emerged among them. Because Alex had completely disrupted the interests of every one of them, even uprooting their foundations!

This time, these senators united against a common enemy. Achieving an unparalleled unity that had never been seen since the establishment of the Base Shelter!
