To be honest, I don't want to get involved in Song Muyuan's actions, after all, I'm not a raider!
But seeing Song Muyuan's enthusiastic manner, it seemed he didn't want to give up. I wondered if he would keep pestering me if I didn't agree.
So I asked, "What place do you want to rob? Even with the three of you and me, there are only four of you. Is that enough?"
Song Muyuan laughed and said, "Enough, absolutely enough! As long as we have guns, the four of us can definitely rob that place."
I asked, "Tell me where you're going first, and I'll think about it. If it's too dangerous, I don't want to go with you. I value my life."
Song Muyuan said, "I understand. I definitely won't let you suffer any losses, Brother Lu, nor will I let you lose your life. That place is in Mingzhu. I heard about it from someone else. Someone said there is a research institute in the suburbs of Mingzhu City. It seems that some people have been living there recently. There aren't many people there, so the people who told me this news don't think it's a good fit."
My facial expression remained unchanged, but my heart was in turmoil.
A research institute in the suburbs of Mingzhu City!
How many research institutes are there in the suburbs of Mingzhu City? Probably only one!
I glanced at Song Muyuan. What a coincidence! My destination is also there. Should I take out these three guys now?
However, if we kill them now, there's one thing we won't be able to figure out.
I'm very curious to know who told Song Muyuan about that research institute, and which raider team knew we were living in the institute? Moreover, judging from Song Muyuan's words, the raider team that discovered the research institute seems to be quite large and looks down on the institute where I live.
Unexpectedly, the research institute's situation has already been exposed.
Song Muyuan patted my shoulder and said, "Brother Lu, what do you say? Are you in or not? There aren't many people there, and I doubt they have any guns or weapons, so let's go together, rob a bunch of people, and then leave."
I asked, "How many people are inside? Are you sure they don't have guns?"
I thought about it and came up with a solution that might avoid a lot of trouble.
Song Muyuan laughed and said, "Don't worry, what guns could that small place have? At most, there are only seven or eight people. We can threaten them and make them hand over the goods themselves. As for the people, we won't kill them. I don't want to do that kind of murder and robbery."
This guy still has some conscience.
I chuckled and said, "You seem so confident, are you sure you can take them down? What if they have guns?"
Song Muyuan said, "If we have guns, we have guns. If we can't win, can't we just run away? We haven't done anything immoral. Let's test the waters first. If it doesn't work, we can just leave and find another place to rob."
I glanced at the little girl. She was quite clever; she kept her head down and ate her noodles, not getting involved in what was going on between me and Song Muyuan.
I thought about it and realized that if the little girl and I went back to the research institute alone, we would likely encounter raiders along the way. But if we went back with these raiders, we might be able to avoid a lot of trouble on the way.
Moreover, Song Muyuan in front of me is no threat. If he has any schemes or tricks on the road, I can adapt accordingly.
When we get back to the research institute, we'll take down all three of them at once.
We might be able to find out some information about the raider team then.
Song Muyuan looked at me and asked, "Brother Lu, since you have nowhere to go anyway, why don't you come with me? I can last you two days in terms of food and drink. After we take over the research institute, we can probably last a long time. Then I'll go with you to find those two people of yours. How about it?"
I looked at him and asked, "Really?"
Song Muyuan nodded seriously and said, "Of course it's true! I, Song Muyuan, mean what I say!"
I laughed and said, "No problem! Since that's the case, and I have nowhere else to go anyway, I'll just work with you guys! Let's set off now without hesitation!"
Song Muyuan smiled and said, "No, no, no, take your time. I see you guys eating instant noodles and I'm hungry too. Let's wait a bit. Anyway, it's still early. It won't take long to get to the outskirts of Mingzhu City. Let's set off after we finish lunch."
I gave a wry smile, nodded, and said, "Alright, whatever you say."
...
About half an hour later, after Song Muyuan and the other two finished lunch and cleaned up, we got into the car and set off.
I was still driving, they led the way, and we followed behind.
After setting off.
The little girl couldn't hold back any longer and laughed, "Brother Xiaonan, you're so naughty! You actually agreed to their request!"
I laughed and said, "Since they're offering themselves up, why shouldn't I agree? With them leading the way, I think we'll be much safer coming here."
The little girl laughed and said, "I really want to see what their expressions will be when they arrive at their destination, Brother Xiaonan. Do you think they'll be dumbfounded?"
I nodded and said, "Definitely!"
The rest of the journey was very quiet.
The little girl is still trying to contact Sister Jing and the others, but there's still no response.
Two hours later, Song Muyuan led me to the outskirts of Mingzhu City, but we were still quite far from the research institute.
Not long after, the little girl contacted Sister Jing.
"Xiaonan, Xiaonan, is that you?" Sister Jing's voice came from the walkie-talkie.
I picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "Sister Jing, it's us. Where are you now?"
Jingjie said, "We've already returned to the research institute. What about you? Will you be there soon too?"
I said, "Well, we're almost there too. But Sister Jing, I need you all to get ready. All of you, grab your guns and stand guard inside the research institute. I'll be bringing a few raiders over later. Don't scare them, just make sure they're intimidated."
Sister Jing asked in confusion, "Raiders? What's going on?"
"They were the same few we met yesterday." I then told Sister Jing what had happened, and after she understood, she started making preparations.
But just then, Song Muyuan and his group, who were leading the way, stopped their car.
I was puzzled as to why they stopped the car.
After Song Muyuan got out of the car, he came over. I opened the car door and got out, asking, "What's wrong? Why did you stop?"
Song Muyuan scratched his head and said helplessly, "Brother Lu, do you recognize this place? Isn't this the outskirts of Mingzhu City?"
"..." I was speechless, but I could only pretend to be nonchalant and say, "I guess so. This place is quite spacious. It should be the outskirts of Mingzhu City."
Song Muyuan asked, "But where is the research institute?"
