Coming out of Alex's office, Ping Qiyun endured immense humiliation and pain, walking unsteadily towards her father who was waiting outside. Seeing his daughter's tear-streaked face, Ping Deyuan felt a twinge of guilt. However, it quickly faded.
His face was soon replaced by determination and fanaticism.
For the sake of surviving better in the apocalypse, a small sacrifice was nothing!
Moreover, everything he did was for his little son!
His son was only ten years old!
To pave the way for his son's future and to ensure a better life, he considered his daughter's sacrifices insignificant.
"Qiyun! Hurry and wipe away those tears! Tidy up your clothes! When you go out later, don't let anyone see it! You have nothing to feel wronged about! Look at the other women in the shelter, then look at yourself.
You should consider yourself lucky!"
Ping Deyuan scolded his daughter with a stern face.
Ping Qiyun, with a numb expression, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and took out makeup from her bag to touch up her appearance. Only then did she follow her father out.
She dared not tell her father what Alex had done to her.
Because Alex warned her that if she made any move, her photos would be spread throughout the shelter!
"He's truly a scoundrel! A despicable and shameless bastard!"
Ping Qiyun's heart was bleeding!
If her photos were leaked, she would become the joke of the entire shelter!
And Zhang Jingwu would definitely not spare her!
If people found out, her image as the icy goddess and the flower of the shelter would instantly turn into that of a universally despised woman!
She could imagine that if her photos were leaked, the adoring looks from those who admired her immensely before would turn into disgust and disdain.
With the protection of Shen Xudong and Ping Deyuan, Guangbei Jia and Lu Weijiang both believe they have gained Alex's loyalty.
Alex's request for both squads to provide more than ten soldiers for assistance is already a reasonable demand.
Before long, Shen Han and Lu Bao appeared in the command headquarters of the two squads.
"Captain Gu, our Xiao Squad plans to attack a large shopping mall in the center of Jiangcheng today. Let me arrange for ten soldiers to assist you," Shen Han requested confidently in Gu's office.
Gu contemplated, looking at Shen Han. Until now, he couldn't understand why Shen Han suddenly joined forces with Alex, a newcomer.
"Han, your change this time caught me off guard," Gu said, looking expectantly at Shen Han, hoping for an explanation.
However, Shen Han smiled mysteriously, "Uncle Gu, I joined Alex's team because I saw a huge crisis in our base shelter! I also see the changes that Alex can bring to us! If you trust me, give me some time, and I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer!"
"In everyone's eyes, it seems like I've joined Alex, but why not look deeper? This is also a great opportunity for us to control the Material Collection Team," Shen Han added.
Her words made Gu's eyes light up, but soon the brightness faded. "I hope you can handle this Alex, I always feel that Alex is not simple."
"At least he has leaned towards us now, hasn't he? Moreover, Lu Bao has also sided with him. Although we lost Zhang Jingwu, our current strength has completely suppressed Lu Weijiang's group!" Shen Xudong said with a smile.
"I hope this Alex is genuinely siding with us," Gu always felt uneasy in his heart, but given the current situation, he had no choice.
"I will assign my elite guards to you, and additionally, I will allocate another armed helicopter to the guards," Gu dispatched his most powerful and trusted subordinates.
On one hand, Gu was concerned that Alex might take advantage of the situation to eliminate his subordinates. On the other hand, he worried that Alex's people might buy off his subordinates. The betrayal of Zhang Jingwu and Shen Han made him somewhat paranoid.
Sending out his most trusted and powerful squad was an inevitable choice for Gu.
On the other side, under the instigation of Ping Qiyun and Ping Deyuan, Zhang Jingwu also dispatched his most powerful and trusted guards.
Both squads were well-trained and equipped with top-notch gear. Moreover, all members were elite forces within the base shelter.
In addition to the armed helicopter from the City Defense Squad, Zhang Jingwu's Security Management Squad also brought out their trump cards—a police armored vehicle and Type 98 rocket launcher!
With these two formidable squads, they accounted for almost one-third of the overall strength of both sides.
