Chapter 673: Before fighting against the outside world, one must first make peace with the inside
Just as Su Chen was having sex with Xiang Mengmeng and Tong Fei.
Some members of the Watchers' League, however, were quite worried!
"Li Kunlin is fucking senile, how could he be so biased towards that bastard Su Chen!"
Jiao Tengfei stubbed out his cigarette and couldn't help but mutter a curse under his breath.
"Doesn't he even consider who led troops to support him when the base rebelled?"
Zhu Dahai grabbed the beer on the table, took a big gulp, and said rather unhappily,
"Alright, Tengfei, what's the point of saying all this now?"
"Why don't we think about what we should do next?"
The two looked at each other, both with worried expressions.
Having survived the apocalypse for so long, they know very well that to ensure their comfortable survival, they must have a powerful force!
Wang Yong, Guo Wei, and others were all elites from the fourth and fifth brigades.
With their deaths, even if the two battalions still have a considerable number of men, they will be nothing more than empty shells!
The combined strength of the Fourth and Fifth Battalions is no match for Su Chen's Sixth Battalion!
When the two brigades were intact, Li Kunlin had to listen to their opinions when Jiao Tengfei and Zhu Dahai voiced their objections.
Today, not only were they ignored, but Su Chen actually dared to give them a hard time in public!
"I'm afraid we'll be lucky if we can keep our positions. Once that old guy Li Kunlin retires and Su Chen takes over his place, things will get tough for us!"
Zhu Dahai sighed and took another swig of wine!
"Are we just going to sit here and wait to die?"
Jiao Tengfei took a deep drag on his cigarette, his brow furrowed.
"What else can we do if we don't just sit and wait for death?"
Zhu Dahai smiled wryly.
“If it were before, we might have been able to launch a coup and bring Li Kunlin under control.”
"But do you think it's possible now?"
Jiao Tengfei remained silent.
Just as the two were worrying about the future, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Who?"
Zhu Dahai subconsciously stood up, already gripping the dagger at his waist.
"It's me, Lao Xu!"
Hearing Xu Hong's voice, Jiao Tengfei and Zhu Dahai finally breathed a sigh of relief.
They knew that Xu Hong had always maintained a neutral stance.
Even if Li Kunlin and Su Chen really intended to take action against the Fourth and Fifth Battalions, they wouldn't send him!
But then, something seemed off to them.
"What is Xu Honglai doing here?"
"I don't know either. Let's let him in first and see what he's up to."
Zhu Dahai put away his dagger, walked over, and opened the door.
"Why are you dawdling like that?"
Xu Hong grumbled somewhat, walked straight in, and sat down at the table.
He grabbed a bottle of beer for himself and then skillfully took a cigarette from Jiao Tengfei's cigarette case.
The entire set of movements was incredibly smooth and fluid!
"Why are you standing? Sit down!"
Xu Hong smoked and drank, beckoning Zhu Dahai and Jiao Tengfei around as if he were the host.
Zhu Dahai and Jiao Tengfei were stunned for a moment before sitting down.
"Old Xu, it's so late, what do you need us for?"
Zhu Dahai asked tentatively.
Xu Hong, smoking a cigarette, glanced at him and said,
"If I'm not mistaken, you two are probably having some kind of trouble right now, aren't you?"
What are you worried about?
"You must be worried about what to do in the future, right?"
Xu Hong flicked his cigarette ash, grinned,
"The Speaker dotes on Su Chen so much, and you two are making trouble for him."
"Do you think you'll have a good time after Su Chen takes over?"
Zhu Dahai and Jiao Tengfei, whose sore spots had been touched, instantly turned extremely ugly!
After a long pause, Jiao Tengfei finally spoke with a gloomy face.
"Old Xu, if you've come here to mock us, you can go back now!"
"Hey, look at you, you're in such a hurry again!"
Xu Hong laughed heartily, took a sip of his drink, and then continued.
"Actually, I came to you to talk and see if there's any way out."
Zhu and Jiao were taken aback again.
They really couldn't figure out what Xu Hong was up to!
Seeing this, Xu Hong had no choice but to patiently explain.
"Su Chen is too young and impetuous. If he really takes the stage, not to mention you, I'm afraid I won't have a good life either."
Zhu Dahai and Jiao Tengfei then realized what was going on!
In the Watchers League, Xu Hong has always been self-protective and never takes sides.
But whether it's Li Kunlin, Zhu Dahai, or Jiao Tengfei, they all need to win him over.
In this way, Xu Hong, who was adept at navigating both sides, could live a very comfortable life.
But if Su Chen really takes the stage, Xu Hong probably won't be able to be as carefree as before!
He came to see us tonight, probably because he wanted to join forces to deal with Su Chen!
After figuring it out, Zhu Dahai and Jiao Tengfei breathed a sigh of relief.
"Nothing can be hidden from you, Lao Xu, that's for sure!"
Zhu Dahai sighed.
"But even if we're worried, there's nothing we can do!"
A cold smile appeared on Xu Hong's face.
"How about the three of us team up, kill Su Chen, and force Li Kunlin to confess? What do you think?"
His suggestion instantly sent chills down Zhu Dahai and Jiao Tengfei's spines!
Looking at Xu Hong in front of them, they even felt a little unfamiliar with him!
Is this still the same Xu Hong who used to be so adept at navigating social situations and never offending anyone?
However, since they had known Xu Hong for so long, they never suspected that Xu Hong had any other intentions.
"I think it's not impossible, but the problem is, we're not strong enough!"
Jiao Tengfei said angrily,
"Not to mention Su Chen's outstanding combat strength, the combined strength of the First, Second, Third, and Sixth Battalions alone is something we cannot contend with!"
"You're right, so what should we do?"
Xu Hong also looked worried.
"Even if we were to call for reinforcements, where could we get them from?"
His words seemed to remind Jiao Tengfei.
Jiao Tengfei's eyes lit up at first, then his expression shifted between light and dark, and finally he let out a long sigh.
"Old Xu, Dahai, I have a solution!"
"Oh? Tell me!"
"How about we contact the Leaders' Alliance and Mingyuan Group?"
Upon hearing Jiao Tengfei's suggestion, Zhu Dahai was immediately taken aback!
"Old Jiao, have you gone mad?"
After the Icebreaker operation ended, Li Kunlin had already designated the Leaders Alliance and Mingyuan Group as the Watchers' mortal enemies!
Anyone who has any dealings with either of them will be treated as a traitor!
"Hehe, just think I'm crazy!"
Jiao Tengfei laughed strangely.
"Although the Leaders Alliance and Mingyuan Group are our enemies, we must first secure our internal stability before we can fight external threats!"
"Let's get rid of Su Chen first, overthrow Li Kunlin, and seize control of the organization!"
"Otherwise, we'll have no way to survive!"
Zhu Dahai hesitated for a moment, then looked at Xu Hong.
"What do you mean, Lao Xu?"
"I think... Lao Jiao has a point."
Xu Hong rubbed his beard.
"I don't care what you do, my logistics team will cooperate with your operations!"
Hearing this, Jiao Tengfei felt much more at ease.
"Ocean, don't hesitate!"
"The brave will die of overeating, and the timid will die of starvation!"
