Apocalypse: I Build A Doomsday Train-Chapter 954 - 384: The Dissolution of Parliament!

Hearing these words, for a moment, the faction of Zhou Mingyuan fell into panic, while Wen Hui stood up with a grave expression, not expecting the situation to escalate so quickly.

"Alright, alright, alright!" Zhou Mingyuan realized that he and Chu Zhaonan had completely torn their relationship apart. He sneered coldly, "Chu Zhaonan, you have nerve. Ever since the establishment of this Underground City, as the Federation Chairman, you haven’t managed any government affairs. We are the ones handling the survival and needs of six million people. Now, your Vanguard Plan not only dooms the entire city but all of humanity. You are the real criminal here. What right do you have to hand over Dawn City to the Phoenix Society?"

"I indeed don’t have that right."

Chu Zhaonan’s expression remained calm, "But neither do you have the right to hold the entire city hostage as a bargaining chip to negotiate with the Phoenix Society, continuing to enjoy a superior status. Zhou Mingyuan, face reality, once the city gates are open, you will know the people have left you, and me too."

"From now on, you are no longer congressmen, and I am no longer the Chairman. This disaster may not allow us to choose how to live, but at least it allows us to choose how to die." He looked over everyone in the council hall, "Farewell, colleagues." With that, Chu Zhaonan turned and left.

Wow!

Suddenly, the council hall was in an uproar, with countless questions, exclamations, and curses echoing. Papers were thrown, white sheets flying everywhere.

The appearance of the garrison and Lu Tianye prevented the conflict from escalating further.

Within the Underground City, the political situation was thrown into chaos. All the originally well-off residents of the Underground City suddenly received an emergency order requiring them to leave within 48 hours, causing an immediate uproar.

In the corridor, Chu Zhaonan and his group walked quickly, escorted by Lu Tianye, Luo Ming, Xu Yan, Su Jin, and others heading in the distance.

"General Lu, how many people from the Night Patrol Team and the City Defense Camp came, did you kill them all?" Xu Yan asked at this moment.

"About two hundred people. These people raised by Zhou Mingyuan haven’t fought a real battle. Once the leaders were shot, they behaved obediently." Lu Tianye replied as they walked.

"Did they think two hundred people could overthrow us?" Luo Ming frowned.

"They don’t dare go for a full overthrow. With the garrison present, the Night Patrol Team and the City Defense Camp of tens of thousands can’t stir up much trouble. Zhou Mingyuan just wanted to use this as a bargaining chip to rebuild a ’small government,’ but he didn’t expect me to dissolve the council directly and let the Phoenix Society take over. Those people were arranged by him to protect himself," Chu Zhaonan said.

"I thought so too." Lu Tianye nodded, "But a person like Zhou Mingyuan who wants to use the entire city as a hostage to negotiate with the Phoenix Society, could be executed directly, why let him go?"

Click.

Chu Zhaonan stopped walking.

"Old Lu." He looked at Lu Tianye, serious, "If we handled this as a crime against humanity, everyone in that council hall would need to be executed."

"Including me."

Lu Tianye’s eyes changed, and his expression slowly sank.

"Our current task is to complete the launch of the Vanguard Plan; any internal conflicts are meaningless. As long as the government’s dissolution announcement is made public, Zhou Mingyuan’s power will disappear." Chu Zhaonan said, "After that, everything will be left for them to judge!"

...

Dawn Underground City, Earth Core Administrative Hall.

Crash!

A exquisitely crafted ceramic tea bowl shattered into powder on the ground. The high-ranking officials of Dawn City, led by Zhou Mingyuan, were in an uproar, watching Zhou Mingyuan’s outburst.

"Once Chu Zhaonan announces the dissolution of the council, the entire city will enter anarchy. What do we do, Chairman Zhou?!" A senior congressman’s face was ashen, while the others were already in panic.

"What do we do? Lu Tianye is here. Should I have the City Defense Camp and Night Patrol Team come in?!"

Zhou Mingyuan was furious, "That damn Chu, at this critical moment, he sold us all out. He might as well die and apologize. The resources, wealth, and population of Dawn City are all gathered by me. What right does Chu Zhaonan have to hand it over, what right!!"

Crash!

Another piece of porcelain was shattered. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Wen Hui’s expression was extremely complicated at this moment. Though to her, Zhou Mingyuan’s claims were nonsense, Dawn City inherited the Federation’s legacy and attracted many survivors because of the garrison and the background of the original main city. The so-called resources and wealth were acquired by exploiting residents, including her Linglong Group.

Moreover, Wen Hui knew she could only cling to Zhou Mingyuan; the situation was already critically dangerous, and there weren’t any other choices.

So, she calmly analyzed and said, "There are two paths now. First, our accumulated resources, City Defense Camp, Night Patrol Team, and the armed forces of all congressmen add up to a considerable force, at least reaching 200,000. The Phoenix Society advocates for humanitarianism, and as fellow human compatriots, they’re unlikely to annihilate us. As such a large group, seeking cooperation also allows us to gain some advantageous conditions at the Polar end."

Zhou Mingyuan’s boiling anger slowly subsided at these words, squinting to look at Wen Hui, "And the second?"

"Traveler 1, a Constant Star-class Starship, is ready as planned. Our people have analyzed that the Vanguard Plan consists of seven starships, composed of one ’Far Star Level’ and six ’Constant Star Level.’ Chu Jing’s Civilization Pioneer will be the leading ship in the Breaking Curtain Plan, and separately there are Natural Selection, Deep Blue, Shepherd Star, Stars, Ocean, and Ark proceeding in stages. If we board Traveler 1, and follow the formation post-launch, as long as the Breaking Curtain Plan succeeds, we have over a 90% chance to escape the Heavenly Veil together. Chu Zhaonan, in such circumstances, wouldn’t fire upon us, nor would it affect the Vanguard Plan."
