Chapter 1,673: Help you to ascend to the throne (twenty-seven)
"Purpose?"
Lao Xu's words are easy to evoke, especially at this juncture. When Liu Mu heard these two words suddenly popping up in Lao Xu's mouth, Liu Mu couldn't help but blurt them out.
"Brother Xu, what is your purpose for coming here?"
There was something unexpected about Lao Xu's words.
Lao Xu did not hide this, and replied very frankly: "The main purpose of our coming here this time is actually to find someone."
"Looking for someone? Who are you looking for?" Again, to Liu Mu's surprise, Liu Mu asked.
"As you know, this catastrophe happened suddenly. Normally, our family is far apart. But this sudden apocalypse has caused many people to lose contact with their families, relatives, and friends. After that, everyone is busy making ends meet. There is no time to look for family members. No, I led the team out this time just to find family members for the team members."
After listening to Lao Xu's words, Liu Mu was stunned for a moment. Obviously, he didn't expect these were the purposes Xu Renjie said.
When he thought about it, the other party was probably here for something in the manor, or for supplies and equipment, but Liu Mu never expected that Old Xu would lead the team here simply to find relatives for his team members.
This made Liu Mu couldn't help but deepen his admiration for Lao Xu, and also longed for the unity of the other team.
If possible, he really wanted to join the other party, but considering his identity and abilities, Liu Mu decided to give up the idea of joining.
People, you have to recognize the reality and not push yourself too far.
Lao Xu has done a lot for himself. Although the other party didn't say that he was in trouble, Liu Mu should still know what to do.
Lao Xu confessed to Liu Mu in order to find a reasonable, euphemistic and reliable excuse for rejecting the other party's proposal.
After all, it is really "untimely" to directly reject the other party. At least for the sake of possible subsequent alliances and cooperation, Lao Xu has to be as tactful as possible for the time being.
Secondly, Lao Xu was so candid in order to express his position.
He wanted to tell the young people through his purpose of coming here that they had never thought of planning a manor.
This can be regarded as a disguised form of Lao Xu drawing a clear line between himself and the skinheads.
To avoid being regarded as a robber like a skinhead when carrying materials from the estate later, it would be a bit "taken advantage of".
Although the nature of what Lao Xu and the others did was the same as what the skinheads did, Lao Xu would definitely still show his "righteousness" more when conditions permitted.
However, these plans of Lao Xu fell into Liu Mu's ears, which indeed caused the young people to have a great change in their views on the Victory Alliance team.
"Brother Xu, have you found the person you are looking for here?" Now that he has learned the true purpose of Lao Xu's side, Liu Mu, as one of the survivors of the manor, naturally showed due concern.
It's no wonder that Old Xu has done so many things for Liu Mu before.
Liu Mu wanted to thank him now, but he had too little on hand to thank him. Now that Xu Renjie mentioned this matter, it was within his ability, so
Confused by Lao Xu's "intentional" reply, Liu Mu immediately forgot his previous thoughts.
It is no longer important that the convoy helps to deal with the skinheads. Liu Mu only hopes to rely on his own meager efforts to find the person they are looking for for Lao Xu and the others.
Lao Xu nodded: "The person hasn't been found yet. You know we have a lot of team members here. Everyone has family members who need to be found. It's unrealistic for you to ask me to tell them their faces and names with so many people, so"
After looking at Liu Mu, Old Xu solemnly replied: "So I will need more help from you, Brother Liu."
It’s a dream come true!
Being able to help Lao Xu now is Liu Mu's greatest wish.
More importantly, Xu Renjie changed his name from Liu Mu to Liu Laodi, and the change of title has invisibly brought him closer to Liu Mu.
"Brother Xu, just ask me to do whatever you need me to do. As long as you don't think I'm incompetent, I'll do my best for you without any hesitation."
Smiling and nodding, Lao Xu was very satisfied that the young man could answer so readily.
In fact, Lao Xu doesn't have anything important for young people to do.
As the young man himself realizes, with his current strength there is really nothing he can do for Lao Xu.
"Well, I need you to help me count the names of the survivors in the manor, including the dead. If the dead are really unclear, forget it. The living must be accurate."
"That's no problem, just leave it to me!" Liu Mu responded readily.
In fact, Lao Xu had a list of names of members looking for family members.
This was recorded after Zhao Yunhai talked to the team members one by one after proposing the family search plan.
There are records of the team members' required family attributes, age, appearance, body, body shape and other relevant details.
Lao Xu is looking for someone now. In fact, he can just give this information to Liu Mu and let him compare and verify it.
After all, he has been in the manor for such a long time, so he should know the survivors inside quite well.
But Lao Xu didn't do this. The main purpose was to prevent the survivors of the manor from deliberately pretending to be the people on the list to defraud the following quota after learning about their team's search for relatives.
In addition, Lao Xu also hopes that through this mission, Liu Mu will take the initiative to contact the survivors below, which can also be regarded as urging him to fully understand the people below.
"Is there anything else you need?" Liu Mu seemed to think that this little thing was nothing, and hoped to help Xu Renjie do something big.
Lao Xu bent his elbows and pretended to be in deep thought. After thinking for a while, he asked calmly: "Well, do you know the status of the material storage and distribution here? I need to know how much material inventory you have here."
There was no taboo, Lao Xu never intended to return empty-handed.
So since Liu Mu was so eager to help, Lao Xu naturally would not miss this opportunity, and he took advantage of the situation and put forward what he was going to do.
Liu Mu was not stupid. Although the other party did not say it directly, the meaning was quite obvious when he raised this question.
Liu Mu was not surprised that the Victors Alliance convoy was transporting materials from the estate. Before, he might have turned a blind eye to Lao Xu's approach, thinking that they were the same as the skinheads.
But now, after seeing what Lao Xu did and his attitude towards him, Liu Mu no longer had any complaints.
He even subconsciously believed that instead of being robbed by skinheads later, it would be better to ask the big brother in front of him to move the property.
It is not difficult to see from this incident that sometimes it is not difficult to achieve the purpose of requesting materials. The key lies in the method you use.
If you use force and violence, you will only be regarded as a robber.
On the contrary, if you adopt a gentle policy to influence the other party, then your approach will be regarded by the other party as a natural "gift" and "report".
This may sound ridiculous, but it is an indisputable fact.
