Let's suffer a little longer, fellow Blue Star folks.

However, the attitude of these Yunhe soldiers was much better than that encountered by Yu Shui and others. It was obvious that they had known in advance that they would be coming.

After simply sending someone to pass on the message, a bald man who had been standing at the gap in the railing came jogging over.

"Hello, hello, I'm Sun Ya, a general of the northern camp of the Yunhe Army."

After saying this, he extended his right hand enthusiastically.

Seeing this, Alps immediately stepped forward and shook hands with Sun Ya.

"Hello, hello. I'm a squad leader at the gathering place. These are the soldiers who came with me to understand the situation."

"Understand."

Sun Ya enthusiastically pulled Alps towards the gas stone mine, saying as they walked:

"Actually, this is the case. Sima Chu also told me the basic situation of your gathering place."

"Regarding the cooperation on the gas-stone mine, you should mainly provide the manpower, and we should provide the technology."

Alps thought about it and shook his head.

"As for the technology, we can also provide it, but we don't have the corresponding equipment. However, we can provide mining plans, construction plans, and subsequent maintenance plans for the mine."

Although players currently seem to have no talent in this area.

But it doesn’t matter, as long as Blue Star has it, they have plenty of ways to get these plans.

As for the equipment, it will probably be provided by Yun Hejun.

"That's it."

Sun Ya nodded, but he was not surprised.

After all, in his opinion, the people in this gathering place should have come from Shaling Town in the west, so it is reasonable that there are some talents in mining.

"We'll discuss the technical issues in detail later," Sun Ya continued.

"But regarding the manpower for mining, I have a suggestion."

"What's the proposal?" Alps asked.

Didn’t we say before that we would use the people from Fangjia Village to mine?

What, do you have any new ideas now?

"That's right." Sun Ya said with a chuckle, "We can use those rebels who have surrendered to the demons."

What? Rebels?

Alps raised an eyebrow.

Or did he join the demonic rebels?

New setting!

Chapter 151 What are you talking about?

"Sun Buqu, what are the origins of these rebels you mentioned?"

Alps did not choose to pretend to know.

After all, it is much better to ask now than to suddenly go back to talk about these basic settings later in the conversation.

When Sun Ya heard this question, he paused, and then he remembered that these people in front of him might not be familiar with the situation near the border because they had lived in safe areas for a long time.

So he pulled Alps to the edge of the gas stone mine, and then found a few stools from somewhere, and asked Alps and others to sit down.

He continued to stand and began to explain:

"Those who joined the demons are called rebels, but most of them are refugees, so some also call them exiles."

"These people have basically committed some serious crimes, resulting in no gathering place to accept them. In the end, they chose to flee to the demon-occupied area and associate with the demons."

"Doesn't that mean anyone can run to the other side and seek refuge?" Erwuzai asked curiously while Sun Ya was speaking.

Upon hearing this, Sun Ya paused for a moment, then looked around at the residents of the gathering place in front of him before continuing.

"Those demons are not something that everyone would accept."

"First, we have to find a demon that can speak human language and communicate normally. This often requires walking through the demon-occupied area for several days."

"After finding those demons, we need to contact a greater demon through them. Finally, we need to submit a letter of surrender. Only then can these rebels live in the demon-occupied area without being attacked by the demons."

Hearing this, Alps also asked curiously:

"But those of us who have gathered here have looked north from the top of the northern hill and haven't seen any signs of human life."

"That's definitely not the case." Sun Ya shook his head.

"If there were rebels stationed at such a close distance, our Yunhe Army would have been dispatched long ago."

"As far as I know, the rebels closest to the border are nearly thirty kilometers away as the crow flies, and the actual distance is estimated to be more than fifty kilometers."

"I have questions!"

Rouzong raised his right hand and asked.

"Why would the demons accept these rebels?"

"Because they can be used in wars." Sun Ya answered without much hesitation.

"Every time demons invade the borders of various towns, it's not just the inferior demons who lead the charge, but also these rebels."

"According to the confessions of the captured rebels, they wanted to live in the demon-occupied area for a long time, free from harassment from other demons, and they had to pay a corresponding 'residence fee' every month."

"Residence fee?"

When Alps heard these three words, he silently raised his eyebrows.

By the way, his rent for this month is almost due. Fortunately, he has been playing Dawn recently and can't spend any money on the game.

So, playing Dawnbreak not only helps with sleep, but also helps players save money?

"Are they air stones and copper coins? But I remember that monsters don't use these things." Rouzong asked curiously.

"Could it be that the demons also have their own currency?"

"It's not currency." Sun Ya shook his head.

He didn't keep the secret any longer and quickly continued:

"It's human."

"people?"

"To be precise, it's a human head." Sun Ya's expression became serious, and his tone was mixed with a little anger.

"The pledge of allegiance I mentioned earlier also involves human heads."

"These rebels have to hand over as many heads as they have every month, no matter where they get them from or when they were chopped off."

Sun Ya's speaking speed also gradually increased.

"They would hide the extra heads in their tents, seal them in clay pots, and use them as a lifeline."

"Even when two rebel groups conduct transactions, they use these sealed heads as currency."

Hearing this, the players' hearts couldn't help but tremble.

As Blue Star people who have received higher education, they naturally realized the hidden intentions of the demons after hearing these rules.

Their demands are not only to let these rebels kill people everywhere, but also to suppress their reproduction.

If the number of "heads" required to be handed over does not meet the requirement, the rebels may even attack each other.

Killing after killing and more killing.

"call……"

Sun Ya paused, took a deep breath, and then continued slowly:

"Perhaps you also know that the land in the demon-occupied area has been polluted by these demons."

"There's no farming or animal husbandry there, so all the food for the rebels comes from looting and trading."

Having said that, Sun Ya turned around silently and took a look at the ancestral tomb of Fangjia Village.

"Fangjia Village may have supplied food to the rebels before."

"For a long time, those who lived in the demon-occupied areas were very different from us in terms of their thoughts, habits, technology, and so on."

"They can no longer be called 'human'."

Then Sun Ya changed the subject and a smile suddenly appeared on her face.

"But these things are perfect for mining."

"Because they spend their days planning and plundering, their physical fitness is generally good. Eating simple food for a long time also means they are easy to feed."

“It’s simply the perfect mining consumable.”

"Right."

He looked back at the Alps and the other residents of the settlement.

Under Sun Ya's gaze, Alps also nodded slightly.

"Ah."

Although Sun Ya called these people "consumables", which made Alps feel a little uncomfortable, if these rebels were really as Sun Ya said.

Then letting them mine is already the lightest punishment.

"Then are there many rebels imprisoned in your Yunhe Army? Mining should require a lot of manpower."

After thinking for a moment, Alps looked up at Sun Ya and asked.

"Forehead……"

Hearing this, Sun Ya touched her nose awkwardly, and her voice became much softer than before.

"There isn't a single rebel in our North Camp right now."

"what?"

So what are you talking about?

Alps almost uttered this basic greeting from the Blue Star people.

Seeing Alps's expression, Sun Ya quickly explained:

"Well, after these rebels are captured, they are usually executed immediately. Some of them who are valuable intelligence are sent back to the town and imprisoned."

"They basically won't stay in the barracks, otherwise we'd have to spend more manpower to look after them."

"Besides, our North Camp is in a sensitive location and is the main target of the demons. If we accidentally let a rebel escape, wouldn't it reveal some of the camp's secrets?"

After all, this kind of thing has happened before.

For some unknown reason, the escaping rebels even took away their patrol route map, which led to several low-level demons crossing the blockade and secretly running into the territory of Yunhe Town.

Another small group of rebels attacked a village on the west side of the valley and eventually fled.

"So, where can we get the rebels to mine?"

Alps then asked.

Since Sun Ya dared to make this suggestion, there must be a corresponding solution.

It can't be that my brain suddenly...

"I do not know."

As a result, Sun Ya actually spread out his hands.

"Although we do have a fairly large rebel group to the north, the captain has organized many sieges, but with little success."

"But we always manage to capture dozens of people each time. If we can split a dozen or so here, it shouldn't be a problem."

amount……

Alps gently pressed his forehead with his hand.

So this is what Li Shan calls a "quirky personality"?
