Chapter 198: Not Enough Sincerity!
Tears blurred Guang Beijia's vision, and everything before her was wildly swaying. She lay prone on her office desk, once a symbol of utmost authority, now sinking into the abyss of debauchery.
...
"Alex, can you help us now? Regardless, we have all contributed to the shelter, and its current state is also the result of our efforts. We are willing to obey your orders unconditionally, but without the central command's food supply, if we don't go out to search for resources, we'll starve to death! You know that the parliament members have never faced zombies.
Without the guidance of a resource gathering team, we'll simply be marching to our deaths! I... I hope you can give us a way out! I'm begging you..."
With tears of humiliation, Guang Beijia turned her head away, unable to look at Alex, and tremblingly spoke the words of plea.
"Your performance today is not sincere enough..." Alex waved his finger, sneering, "If you're begging me, you should do it properly. Shouldn't you kneel down obediently?"
At this moment, Alex seemed like a devil to Guang Beijia. With everything that had happened, she had lost any semblance of dignity.
Hearing Alex's words, she stood up once again, tears streaming down her face, and obediently knelt in front of Alex.
A smirk appeared on Alex's face, savoring the delightful sensation of conquest.
"Ask for help. Open your mouth and ask for help. Don't you know how to beg with an open mouth? If your mouth doesn't open, how can you ask for help?" Alex looked at Guang Beijia's crystal-clear lips and said with a laugh.
Guang Beijia's tears continued to fall, and the shame and indignation in her heart had reached the extreme. However, she had already taken steps toward the abyss. Since the first step was taken, the second and third steps seemed inevitable...
"Alex... Can you send the resource gathering team to help us this time?" Guang Beijia swallowed hard, her gaze complex as she looked at Alex.
To be honest, she was already swayed. Some things, resisted for a long time, once released, become uncontrollable. Like holding back a flood for too long, once the floodgates were opened, it would completely sweep through, devouring the entire world. Now, Guang Beijia felt that she had been swallowed by her own flood.
She was beginning to enjoy the feeling of opening the floodgates. And the young man in front of her, she both loved and hated! She even couldn't help but want to reveal the conspiracy of these people in the parliament to this devil, and then, throw herself into the arms of the devil, becoming the eternal slave of the devil.
However, reason quickly restrained her from such impulse. She had her ideals, her pride, and dignity. Although she could give up momentarily, it was all for a better future.
She must overcome the devil in front of her! Erase this humiliating history completely!
"Sorry... I still can't," Alex smirked, smiling.
"Why?!!" Guang Beijia was completely stunned, "How can you be so untrustworthy?! Have you been playing me all along?!!"
Alex, indifferent, smiled casually and said, "I can help you because you have your sincerity. But why should I help the others? They don't have anything I need for an exchange."
Waving his hand, Alex dismissed Guang Beijia, "From today on, you'll be my housekeeper. I'll supply all your needs, as for the others..."
Alex paused for a moment before continuing, "Go back and tell them that if they want me to send people to help them gather supplies, they can come to me with the same sincerity as you did! Of course, I'm not interested in these people like I am with you!"
Alex's meaning was crystal clear!
These parliament members all had families, mostly being wealthy and influential figures, whether it was before or after the apocalypse. When they were initially rescued, they brought their families along. Even if some of their family members turned into zombies and were not brought along, these people later used their influence to rebuild their families.
Therefore, most of the parliament members had families.
Alex lacked nothing now. The only thing they could use to express sincerity was their families!
When Guang Beijia informed the people waiting eagerly in the secret room about this matter, everyone was stunned!!
"Damn it! This bastard! He actually played us with empty promises!!"
"Damn it! This beast! Devil!!"
The parliament members began to curse wildly, hating Alex to the core! They wanted to tear him apart, shred him into pieces!
However, after the commotion, everyone fell into a terrifying silence.
Everyone had a look of fear on their faces.
When they sacrificed others before, they didn't feel anything. All sorts of grand and impassioned words could be said.
They spoke with such righteousness and passion!
However, now that the situation had fallen onto their own heads, these people were scared!
Forcing their family members to sacrifice themselves, letting themselves wear the infamous "green hat" (a Chinese idiom referring to a man being cuckolded), who could bear such humiliation?!
"What should we do next?" a female parliament member suddenly spoke in the midst of the silence.
She was a young woman, and her husband was also a member of the parliament. Her husband looked at her with eyes full of shame!
He angrily pounded the table and cursed, "This bastard won't even think about touching my wife!"
Other male members also stood up one by one, pounding the table and shouting in uncontrollable anger:
"This beast! Who does he think he is?! Trying to lay a hand on my daughter, let him die!"
"Bastard! Even if I have to die, I won't wear this damn 'green hat'!"
For a moment, the room was filled with vicious curses and righteous declarations.
Just at that moment, Gu, who had been silent, suddenly clapped his hands and said, "Since it's like this, there's nothing I can do to help you. Without the military orders, we can't move the guards. If we can't move the guards, none of us can touch Alex. Everyone, just wait and let Alex slowly torment us to death!"
He stood up and continued, "When you were advising Guang General earlier, each one of you spoke so righteously and passionately! Now that it's your turn, you can't let go?"
"Hahaha! What a bunch of selfish fools! Guang General valued you so much, and you can't even bear this loss? Can't you endure the sacrifices Guang General made earlier?!"
Being insulted by Gu like this, all the parliament members blushed with embarrassment. However, no one dared to speak up because they now not only had to rely on Gu, but what Gu said was also not entirely wrong!
If they gave up now, they would have nothing left! All their previous planning would be in vain! All of Guang Beijia's efforts would be wasted! No one was willing to accept that!
