The bearded man looked to the other side, where the three leaders were, and asked, "Why do you disagree?"
The third brother had a louder voice. He said, "We are the rebels, and they are the regular army. It's normal for them to refuse to surrender!"
"Do you dare to trust them, and do they dare to trust us?"
"Don't tell us that we, the mountain warriors, have ever had the experience of taking advantage and then defecting. Even if we haven't, can you really believe their nonsense?"
The third elder glanced at the second leader and continued, "He tricked us all out, saying he was reorganizing us, and then he secretly dealt with us all. What can you do?"
"Although our lives are a little harder now, we are free. At the same time, whether we live or die is in our own hands."
"If we surrender, then we won't have the final say. They can just call two guards over and capture and kill us all."
"I'm not willing to accept this muddled possibility!"
The words of the three leaders also represent the thoughts of a group of mountain warriors.
The same was true of the second leader's words, and a group of people felt convinced.
Now both sides are waiting for the bearded man's opinion.
Although the Mountain Warriors are an integrated resistance organization, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are people, there are divisions of camps.
A universe, a star field, a planet, a country, a force, an army.
It is not normal that there are no factions within the organization. Unless people have a unified mind, it is normal for them to have different ideas.
The bearded man did not rush to express his opinion, but talked about other things.
He asked, "How long will our food last?"
The third leader was stunned for a moment, then looked at the second leader.
The second leader pondered for a moment and said, "If we can eat something, we can still hold on for more than a month."
The bearded man asked again, "When is the next harvest?"
"It will take at least two and a half months." The second leader answered truthfully.
The climate in the Yadun region is not good either, but some food can still be grown here. However, unlike other planets, the plants that can be grown here are all underground tubers.
A modified variety of potato and sweet potato, with few branches and leaves above the ground, and the main food is the roots underground.
However, the grain output is not large, and it does not taste good. It also contains trace amounts of toxins. After processing, it tastes like eating sticky, sour and smelly snot.
But this is also the key to the survival of many rebels in the mountains. Although it is a bit unpalatable, it can fill their stomachs.
However, the yield of this crop is not high in the mountainous areas, and these rebel organizations usually need to get energy paste from the settlements in Yadun.
Hearing this, the bearded man tapped the table and said, "Have you ever thought about what we're going to do in a month?"
The third leader said solemnly: "I'll take some people to get some energy paste!"
The bearded man looked over and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Are you buying or grabbing?"
The third leader was speechless for a moment, then continued: "If I can buy it, I will buy it. If I can't buy it, I will rob it!"
The bearded man laughed and said, "The third brother still has the same temper."
The bearded man continued, "I just came back from the settlement of Yadun. Let me tell you what I saw along the way."
The bearded man's words instantly attracted everyone's attention.
The bearded man gathered his thoughts and said, "The defense director of the Yadun base this time is no ordinary person. Although we don't know what will happen next, he has already caused us a lot of trouble."
"All energy cream sales outlets are required to switch to a real-name purchase system, and each purchase is limited to a maximum of three days' supply for one family."
"It's different from the past. We used to buy as much as we wanted, but now we can't."
The bearded man laughed and said, "Let's not talk about the fact that none of us have legal status. Even if we did, the energy paste we bought wouldn't be enough for us."
"If we want to rob, that's also a problem. If we want to rob, we have to go down the mountain, and we can't go too few people."
"I've seen the Blueprint Army's current state. They're like a hedgehog covered in thorns. There are patrol convoys on the road all day long."
"Every checkpoint is on high alert. If you're far away, you have to stop and be inspected. Otherwise, a volley of bullets will hit you at your feet. If you don't stop, you'll be hit in the body."
"We want to attack these outposts. Let's not talk about how we can take them down. Even during the attack, their convoy's first wave of support is estimated to arrive in twenty minutes."
"I even saw patrolling mechas. This has never happened before. These mechas were all pulled out for patrol. Where has this been seen before?"
When the bearded man finished speaking, everyone present felt a sinking feeling in their hearts.
The bearded man sighed, "This time the head of defense is a ruthless man!"
"Also, he has started expanding his army and recruiting soldiers in Yadun. I heard that he has recruited 6,000 people and started training."
He looked at the second leader and said, "That's the garrison you mentioned."
"Six thousand people! How many of us are there?" The bearded man said with some emotion. He continued, "I envy the physical fitness of these new recruits."
"I asked two young people who went with me to sign up, but they were rejected in the third round, without even getting to the medical examination and background check stage."
"I heard that another 20,000 people were recruited as construction workers to start rebuilding the factory in Yadun."
"Twenty thousand young men who had not yet been enlisted were taken away like this, and they were still managed in a military manner, with money and food to eat."
"They are workers now, but no one can predict when they will become soldiers."
The bearded man sighed deeply and said, "I don't know what will happen in the future, but I'm afraid our days will be difficult now."
The third leader asked, "Can we persuade the garrison troops to rebel like our predecessors did?"
The bearded man shook his head slightly: "It's hard to say, now is now... before was before."
The old man who had been silent at the side also sighed to the sky at this moment, his voice full of a sense of twilight: "We are all old. Yadun has been occupied for more than 60 years. The people nowadays are completely different from when we were there."
The bearded man also said, "The people in these settlements don't have that much hatred now. Even if they still don't like the blueprint, they can eat well, earn money, and support their families..."
"The stomach determines the brain..."
The third leader said unwillingly: "What should we do then?"
The bearded man sighed and said, "Let's talk to the people who created the blueprint."
