Chapter 1,672 Helping you to ascend to the throne (twenty-six)
"So, I will leave the gun with you. At least with the gun, they can check it. As for the bullets, if they ask, you can just say that you have used them all when dealing with zombies. Your abilities are there, I believe so Even the skinheads won’t doubt it.”
What Lao Xu said sounded very reasonable, using zombies as a cover to cover up the truth about guns and ammunition.
But in fact, apart from the explicit meaning of Lao Xu's words, he was secretly trying to clear the relationship for himself.
Previously, he emphasized to everyone in the manor that everyone was unanimous and insisted that it was an epidemic. Lao Xu just wanted to separate his team from this matter.
He didn't want to get into trouble with the skinheads for no reason.
To achieve this, in addition to making excuses about the zombie epidemic, it is obvious that the whereabouts of guns and ammunition must also be clearly planned.
Originally, Lao Xu planned to loot all the guns and supplies here, but he thought that if he really did this, how would the manor explain all this to the skinheads?
When an epidemic breaks out, you can use strangers from outside to carry the virus as an excuse. If the gun is gone, will it be possible for the gun to run away on its own?
So the gun must be left with the manor.
Leaving the gun will not only make it easier for the manor to deal with the possible interrogation by skinheads at any time, but also for the future of the manor. After all, the manor will not only face the threat of skinheads in this apocalyptic torrent.
They will also encounter siege from other forces. Not only siege, zombies are also a threat.
Therefore, self-protection without weapons is definitely not possible.
Even if there are no bullets in the gun, holding this thing in your hand can still be effective in intimidating others.
For long-term considerations, Lao Xu needs to plan a way out for the manor.
"Don't leave bullets for the people below, lest they do something bad to you. However, I will leave some for you. Tonight I will send someone to put the bullets in the manor. I will only tell you the location and location. Remember, this is You know things, I know them, God knows them, and the Earth knows them. Don’t tell anyone else. At least until you secure this position, you have to keep the location of the bullet a secret."
Leaving bullets for Liu Mu and Lao Xu was also for emergencies.
After all, he was the one who helped Liu Mu to rise to power. Although the young man had good abilities and qualities in all aspects, his social experience and way of thinking were still shortcomings.
This thing cannot be formed overnight, nor can young people improve by just a few words from Old Xu.
This requires young people to understand it through life experience. Unfortunately, the current situation obviously does not give young people much time to experience it.
Therefore, Lao Xu is now helping young people to rise to the top, which means to push the ducks to the shelf and pluck their hair to encourage growth.
He knew very well that by doing so, he was likely to push the young man into an abyss.
So in order to avoid this situation, Lao Xu has been trying his best to prepare for the young people before leaving.
And the ammunition he left for the young people was for the other party to use in case of emergency.
"It's up to you to decide when and how to use these bullets. But one thing I want to remind you is that in these last days, you have to act within your capabilities. As a commander, you have to have an overall view and coordinate the overall situation. Everything must be done according to your ability. You should put the collective interests first, and you have to think about the people below you. So before you have completely grown up, don't fight with the skinheads. Your strength is not enough to compete with the other party. What you have to do is to hide your strength and bide your time. It’s a matter of time and effort. Just like how you deal with women’s power, forbearance is sometimes a choice, do you understand?”
"Yes!" He definitely nodded. As someone who endured humiliation and finally killed his enemy with his own hands, Liu Mu knew the hardships involved.
"Just understand! That's basically what I need to explain to you. That"
"Brother Xu, I, I have a question. I wonder if I can ask you?" Liu Mu interrupted Xu Renjie and asked suddenly.
"What's the question?" He was also a little surprised. Lao Xu waved his hand and said, "Tell me, what do you want to ask?"
"Uh, that me, you" hesitated, Liu Mu seemed a little embarrassed.
When Lao Xu saw this, Yang raised his eyebrows: "If you have anything to say, just say it. I said, you can treat me as your eldest brother. Since I am the eldest brother, what is there to say?"
"Yes, Brother Xu!" As if he had made a decision, Liu Mu immediately asked: "I would like to ask, can you help us deal with the skinheads? I think you are all very powerful, and your equipment is also very advanced. You should all be A strong man who has experienced many battlefields. And you have seen the situation here, even a zombie can trap us, so"
With a face full of expectations, Lao Xu was a little surprised by the young man's request, but since the other party dared to raise this question in front of him, it at least meant that he had gained the young man's trust.
This is a good thing and something Lao Xu needs to see.
It's just that Lao Xu would not agree to what the other party mentioned.
If he really planned to get rid of the skinheads, there was no need for him to do so much for Liu Mu and support him as the owner of the manor.
He could wipe out the skinheads and place his own men here as a backup base.
But as far as the current situation is concerned
First, the village garrison was not yet stable, and Lao Xu did not believe that he had the ability to disperse manpower and open sub-bases.
Secondly, all the descriptions of the skinheads that he had heard so far were just verbal remarks from the manor. He had never come into contact with the skinheads, and did not know how the other party's manpower and weapon rations were.
And if he rashly starts a war with the skinheads without knowing the size of the opponent's power, even with the current combat strength of the Victory Alliance team, Lao Xu does not feel sure of victory.
Besides, is it really worth going to war with the other party over the current manor?
In Lao Xu's opinion, this was not the case.
If we put aside the past and have no residence, it would be nice to have such a manor as a place to stay and develop during our wandering days.
But now our team has a base in the village. Although the development is not as comprehensive as the manor, various infrastructures are being improved and constructed. Once the family fields are fully cultivated, our village will be completely self-sufficient.
In this case, there is really no need to fight for the manor.
Of course, Lao Xu would definitely not confess these facts to Liu Mu.
After all, he also pointed to Liu Mu to take care of the manor for him to prepare for the follow-up.
In view of this
"Oh~" He let out a long breath first. I have to say that Lao Xu's acting ability is also amazing.
After the emotional preparation was completed, Lao Xu slowly raised his head, met Liu Mu's expectant eyes, and then said: "Liu Mu, it's not that we won't help you with this matter. Actually, how should I put it? Do you know the purpose of our coming to you this time?"
