Apocalypse - Evil Shelter System

While the progress during the meeting went smoothly, the actual execution was another matter. The City Defense Team only relinquished a small and not very important portion of the city defense. The firearms and ammunition assigned to Alex's Materials Collection Team were mostly old weapons and ordinary handguns and rifles.

The real heavy weapons were tacitly kept by Gu Dianke and Zhang Jingwu in the warehouse.

However, this already satisfied Alex. All of this was just an unexpected gain. Alex's real purpose was to lure the members of the City Defense Team and the Public Security Management Team out and then gradually absorb them. As for the control of city defense and the supply of weapons and ammunition, Alex didn't really care.

People were under his control, and these things would eventually fall into his hands.

"Master, outside, Ping Deyuan is here with his daughter, Ping Qiyun, requesting an audience," Peng Le respectfully reported as he entered.

"Ping Qiyun?" Alex's lips curled up slightly with a hint of a smile. "Has Ping Deyuan come to his senses? Hahaha!"

This step was actually optional for Alex. However, if Ping Deyuan fell for it, it would be an unexpected gain. Moreover, Ping Qiyun's looks were quite decent. Trying something new might be interesting for Alex.

"Let them in," Alex ordered.

As per Alex's command, Ping Deyuan and Ping Qiyun entered together.

Ping Deyuan, at this moment, had a face full of joy, with the spring breeze shining on him. Alex had presented him with a beautiful blueprint, showing that the overall authority of the entire shelter was about to fall into his hands.

On the other hand, Ping Qiyun's face was ashen, filled with resentment. Her father had actually asked her to serve a damned uncouth man, and a newcomer to the shelter, no less. Such a man was even worse than a dog for a woman as proud and arrogant as her.

For this matter, father and daughter had argued throughout the night. In the end, Ping Qiyun chose to compromise. For the sake of her father's grand cause and her own future, she was willing to sacrifice herself. After all, this body would eventually be given to a man she looked down upon, whether it was Zhang Jingwu or this Alex—what difference did it make?

However, upon entering Alex's office and seeing him, Ping Qiyun immediately regretted her decision even more. While Zhang Jingwu might be a rustic fellow, at least he was tall, handsome, and had a unique military charm as the deputy team leader.

But the man before her was not only short and plain-looking, lacking any distinctive features, but he also seemed surprisingly young, resembling a poor student who had just entered society.

"This damn loser!" Ping Qiyun sneered inwardly, feeling increasingly uncomfortable.

"Alex, this is my daughter, Ping Qiyun!" Ping Deyuan pointed to the displeased Ping Qiyun behind him, smiling. "She's my only daughter, and so far, she's remained pure and untainted. I hope you treat my daughter well! And don't forget your promise to me!"

Alex stood up and nodded sincerely. "Mr. Ping, rest assured. After tonight, we'll be family. As long as your daughter and I are together, you can trust me, and I'll trust you too!"

"Great! My good son-in-law! However, this matter... it's better to keep it between us, an open secret. Don't let it spread!" Ping Deyuan said, looking at Alex seriously.

Alex gave a sincere smile and nodded, saying, "Of course! If it leaks out, Zhang Jingwu will certainly not let me off, and Shen Han will definitely break ties with me. It's not good for either of us!"

Hearing Alex's words, Ping Deyuan nodded in relief, gave a signal to his daughter Ping Qiyun, and then left.

"Alex, you are an outstanding man... I... I also really like you! But... I'm a very conservative woman. If you truly like me, please don't force me!

When the situation is certain, I'll definitely marry you, and then we can... do that... it's not too late..." Ping Qiyun looked at Alex and suddenly began to have second thoughts.

How could she, a woman of her stature, possibly be with such a loser? How could she give her first time to someone like him? Considering her own status and conditions, she should be with a more outstanding handsome guy!

Thinking about the upcoming scene, Ping Qiyun, who was inexperienced in such matters, suddenly felt fear.

However, she had already entered the lion's den, and for now, she could only temporarily deceive Alex with the methods she usually used to deal with men.

"I do love you, of course! Qiyun, I was truly love-struck at first sight! When I heard that you might marry Zhang Jingwu, I even wished I could kill him! Do you really like me?" Alex, like a tiger playing with its prey, teased with a face full of banter and pretended excitement.

Upon hearing Alex's response, Ping Qiyun knew her opportunity had come!

Ping Qiyun was very confident in her charm and acting skills. Previously, she had played Zhang Jingwu to the point of being utterly infatuated with her. Now, not only had he not touched her, but he was also being manipulated by her! He was even willing to openly break ties with his mentor, Classical Ke, risking his life for her.

"Of course! I certainly like an outstanding man like you. However, if you disrespect me or force me, I will be very disappointed in you! Even if you've won me over this time, you won't win my heart!

In the future, you can't expect to make me genuinely fall in love with you!" Ping Qiyun earnestly delivered her lines, showcasing the acting skills she acquired as a high-achieving graduate of the drama academy.

If it were any ordinary man, he might have truly believed Ping Qiyun's deceptive words and let go of the delicious opportunity right in front of him, all for the pursuit of an illusory and false true love.

"Is that so?" Alex suddenly chuckled, "But from what I've read, the shortcut to a woman's soul is through her body." Alex sneered at Ping Qiyun.

Ping Qiyun's manipulative tactics in front of him were simply ridiculous! Did she think he was still a fledgling? The exceptional women he had played with before far surpassed Ping Qiyun in every aspect!

To someone like Ping Qiyun, how could Alex possibly take her seriously?

"What do you mean? Don't touch me! What are you trying to do?!" Ping Qiyun's face turned red, pushing Alex away with embarrassment and indignation.

However, Alex remained unmoved, and it was Ping Qiyun who almost fell to the ground.

Approaching her, Alex coldly chuckled, "Don't try to play goddess and tricks in front of me! A woman like you is nothing more than a plaything in my eyes. I don't need you to fall in love with me, and I don't want your so-called nonsense love. Even if you were to be my slave, you probably wouldn't be worthy!"

With that, Alex grabbed the pale-faced Ping Qiyun and dragged her into the inner room.

At the same time, Shen Han appeared in the room, holding a camera and sneering.

"What are you doing?!!!" Ping Qiyun exclaimed.
