Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

"very hungry!"

Jamie leaned quietly by the window, watching the human slaves working on the lawn change several times. He even smelled the aroma of green grass mixed with the scent of wheat in the air, which was what their human slaves had eaten all year round. thing.

Jamie didn't know what time it was, but it was definitely night, because it was almost night when they came in. Night is when kangaroos are most active, and Jamie knew this.

Jamie didn't know if Fredo had done it. He had already asked several slaves who passed by, and none of them had seen a girl named Imogen. Jamie was getting more and more worried now, especially when he saw this little girl named Imogen. Hogg's kangaroo treated his slave so roughly and cruelly, Jamie became increasingly uneasy.

"What the hell is that guy Fredo doing!"

Jamie clutched his stomach uncomfortably. He was almost unbearable from hunger. Many of the slaves passing by would not look at him, their eyes were cold. There were patrolling kangaroos all around the lawn with weapons in their hands. The place makes Jamie feel even more frightening than the farm he grew up on.

The slaves here look even more numb, as if they are always afraid of something. The slightest move by the kangaroos will make these slaves look extremely frightened.

There was a chill in the air. Although Jamie didn't really want to use those smelly blankets, he could only pull one over to cope with the current chill. He didn't know what was stained on the blanket. Many places were hard and exuded a stench.

No one came to bring food to Jamie, and he couldn't hold it any longer. What Jamie was most afraid of was starving. He had been like this a long time ago. As long as he wasn't hungry, no matter what he was asked to do, he would kneel down or do anything else. good.

Jamie looked at everything outside dullly, and unconsciously showed a somewhat sad smile. He should have persuaded Imogen yesterday morning and forcefully pulled her down and prevented her from leaving, but Jamie did nothing. If she did, she could only watch Imogen leaving to participate in Fredo's so-called trial.

Jamie did not agree with this approach, and Fredo did not give the necessary help when Imogen failed, but planned to leave. Jamie was still a little angry at Fredo in his heart at this time. But now he can only rely on him to successfully rescue Imogen.

Jamie also knows that their life and death has nothing to do with Fredo. After all, he is a kangaroo and they are humans.

"That bastard!"

Jamie complained, a smell wafted over, Jamie swallowed, and his saliva flowed down unconsciously.

"then!"

A hand covered with scars stretched out towards the small window on Jamie's side as hard as possible. It was a grass dumpling. Jamie stretched out his hand with all his strength, wishing to stuff his head into the gap in the iron fence. Finally, it was enough. When it arrived, Jamie immediately stuffed it into his mouth hungrily and started chewing it.

"Thank you!"

Jamie said in a low voice, and there was a soft laughter next to him. It sounded like a woman, but just now Jamie saw that the hand handing out the dumplings had very serious scars, and the back of the hand was completely dented. Blocks, one finger is flat and looks a little leaky.

"Were you just sold here today?"

A somewhat gentle female voice came, and Jamie shook his head.

"No, I came here with Fury and my master."

Jamie hurriedly shrank back in fear.

"Then you have saved your life. The slaves here will basically be beaten to death if they are not careful."

"By the way, sister, have you ever seen a new female slave? She is about the same age as me."

A burst of hearty laughter rang out.

"I haven't seen it before. Mr. Hogg hasn't bought any slaves these days."

Jamie looked at the lit mansion suspiciously. He didn't know what Fredo was doing inside, and he hadn't come out for so long.

Eating something made Jamie feel a lot more energetic. He just hoped that the results would come soon and he could finally see Imogen tonight. After all, the current situation was too complicated for Jamie and he didn't want to get mixed up. And go in, as long as he can see Imogen, Jamie plans to leave directly with Imogen, even if he returns to the farm in the past, so that he can survive at least, they don't have any power, they are too weak, there is no He is not as powerful as Fredo.

"If only I could use those weapons!"

Jamie was still thinking about the laser weapon used by kangaroos in his backpack, but at this moment, the appearance of the weapon had begun to blur in Jamie's mind. Many of the things Fredo said were unknown to Jamie. I don’t quite understand. Although I try my best to understand, as Freddo said, the kangaroos have cut off the foundation of human civilization. Today’s humans cannot understand words or the meaning of numbers. , and even more unable to understand what human civilization is.

"There's no way we can do it, why don't you understand?"

Jamie whispered in a low voice, and at this time there was a burst of laughter from the side, it was the woman just now.

"Sister, why are you laughing?"

"It's nothing, little brother, I just want to laugh, because laughter will make you feel more relaxed, right? How about a smile?"

Jamie was a little surprised and wanted to smile, but for some reason, he couldn't smile.

"Don't you think this kind of life is too gloomy? Everyone is the same. I saw that you were still a little bit alive, little brother, so I took pity on you and gave you something to eat. It's not like the walking dead here."

Jamie grinned slightly, his tense mood relieved a little.

"Sister, you seem to know a lot of things, right? A guy I know also said that keeping a smile is the best thing."

"Smile is the most beautiful thing God has given to us humans. Little brother, the best thing is to be able to smile at any time, even when facing death."

Jamie chuckled.

"Sister, how long have you been here?"

"I don't remember, but it must have been many years."

Jamie has become slightly interested in the woman next to him. Now that he is bored, it would be nice to chat with her.

"I know a lot of things, little brother, what do you want to know?"

Jamie asked after thinking for a moment.

"Sister, do you know math?"

"Know."

Then the woman next to him briefly talked about addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Jamie was a little shocked when she heard that. She was still talking about kangaroos and humans. What shocked Jamie the most was that this woman actually knew how to do it. Word.

"Sister, who taught you? How do you know so much?"

Jamie was completely shocked.

"I learned it myself, little brother. Sister, let me tell you one thing. The most powerful thing about human beings is imitation, not learning."

Jamie blinked, not knowing what the woman next to him was talking about.

"To put it simply, if you see what the kangaroos do, just learn to do it. Sometimes they will read some words, and you only need to observe carefully to know what the words are, and then you will know what the words are as long as you observe slowly. The meaning of this text is clear. Try to write it in private. You can fully understand the meaning by reading it. You can also know what is right and what is wrong by observing the kangaroos, although they always make jokes. They tell us wrong knowledge, but when they do some work, they use correct knowledge."

Jamie listened with some vague understanding, always feeling that what the woman next to him said was much more cordial than what Fury said, and he was able to understand some things.

"No matter what the kangaroos do, as long as you imitate it and learn to do it slowly, you will understand the true meaning instead of passively accepting what the kangaroos tell you, because they are all lying, especially to others. We humans, and we humans have been deprived of many things, so we cannot distinguish the authenticity of these things, and we humans have been imprisoned in slave houses for a long time and cannot see many real things, so we naturally lose the ability to judge, but in this way The cage cannot hold us humans, because we humans have the ability to imitate, which far exceeds the ability of any species to imitate.”

Jamie smiled and moved his head to the side of the iron fence. He really wanted to take a look at the woman next to him, but he could never see it. Only from the corner of his eye, he saw a picture on the edge of the iron fence that looked like Some gentle mouths are grinning slightly.

"No need to look at my little brother, you just need to remember this smile."

Jamie hummed, and now he looked towards the mansion, which was still brightly lit.

"What the hell is that bastard Freddo doing!"

At this time, in a room in the mansion, Fredo put on his clothes, and a female kangaroo lying on the bed behind him made a very submissive sound.

"Come again!"

Fredo smiled, lit a cigar, and put on his sunglasses.

"Next time, ma'am!"

After opening the door, Fredo slowly jumped into the living room. At this time, Hogg was talking with several wives. When he saw Fredo coming out, he immediately stood up and asked the wives to leave, and the housekeeper immediately gave orders. Some drinks and food were served.

"How are you satisfied, Mr. Fredo?"

Fredo blew out a puff of smoke and nodded.

"Mr. Hogg, thank you for your warm hospitality. That's it for now. I'll go back first. I'll come for a formal visit tomorrow. I hope that when we discuss business, Master Hogg can sell the little slave to me."

"Definitely, Lord Fredo!"

Then Hogg and the housekeeper escorted Fredo out of the mansion. The servant went directly to the slave house and brought Jamie out. Jamie looked behind him from time to time. At this time, his heart was full of anger and helplessness. He kept Wiping tears.

Fredo looked at Jamie apologetically, and after saying a few words to Hogg, he took Jamie out of the mansion.

"Sorry, Jamie!"

Fredo stretched out his hand and pressed Jamie's head. He was still sobbing and tears kept falling. When he left the slave room, he saw the woman who had been talking to him for several hours. She There were horrific burns all over his face. Only the skin around his mouth was still intact. Most of his hair had fallen off, and there were scars all over his shoulders and hands.

"What's wrong Jamie?"

Jamie kept shaking his head. After walking for a while, Fredo took Jamie to a nearby hotel that Mera had reserved for them.

"Guest, we have a slave room here."

"No, I still have some work to do tonight, and I need this slave to help me bring tea and water."

The hotel's front desk didn't have any doubts. After explaining some precautions, he took the two of them to the room on the ninth floor.

Only after returning to the room did Jamie's mood finally stabilize.

"Where's Imogen?"

"They say Imogen hasn't been sent over yet."

Jamie immediately looked at Fredo angrily.

"But when you asked today, didn't they say they had sold it?"

Fredo watched Jamie glare at him angrily.

"Indeed, I can only wait until tomorrow to see it."

Jamie was silent. He lay on the bed tiredly. He didn't know what he wanted to say, but he didn't want to say anything. He was still hungry, but he didn't want to talk to Fredo now. The reason why he was like this now was Because it was caused by some bullshit trial that Fredo took Imogen to in the first place.

"Do you resent me Jamie!"

Fredo asked, and then asked the front desk for some food, but Jamie was already asleep. Fredo took off his sunglasses. At this time, Jamie was already asleep, and Fredo looked for it helplessly. Jamie covered it with a jar, and then sat on the kangaroo chair nearby.

The current situation makes Fredo feel more and more that something is wrong. Hawke tried his best to avoid Imogen today, but was talking to himself about some technological products. Fredo had no idea what he was hiding. What.

"We can only wait until tomorrow."

10:29 pm

An aerostat slowly landed in Hogg's mansion. Meira jumped out directly. One of the two men behind him was carrying a girl.

"Hogg, I hope you won't miss it. If you miss it, the general will blame you."

"Sure, Lord Meira, I promise to complete the mission."

Meira glanced at the female human behind her. Her eyes were dull, she was wrapped in a blanket, saliva was flowing from the corner of her mouth, and she looked like she was dead.

This human did not tell Fredo's whereabouts until the last moment. There were obvious scars on Imogen's hands and feet, especially the obvious blood stains on her fingers and toes. It looked like the nails had been pulled out directly, and In the slightly open mouth, many teeth were missing.

After Meira brought Imogen to Hogg, Hogg took one look and laughed.

"It looks like there is no hope. How should I explain tomorrow?"

"It was said that he escaped during transportation, but was caught and tortured by the people in the slave shop."

Meira said, looking at the human girl with cold eyes. If she was willing to reveal Fredo's whereabouts, they would not perform a brain scan on her.

Soon Imogen was taken to the slave room by Hogg's order. Her vital signs looked completely fine and she should be able to survive for a week or two.

"It's tomorrow, Mr. Hogg, don't fail."

Meira continued to remind, and Hogg snorted.

The night was already very late, Fredo just took a nap and then woke up. At 3 o'clock in the morning, Jamie was still sleeping soundly. Fredo walked to the balcony and quietly overlooked the night city. At this time, Fredo There was always a pain in his heart. He didn't know what happened to Imogen, but the answer could only be revealed tomorrow.

"I probably shouldn't have come."

Fredo already felt vaguely that something was wrong.

At this time, there was a burst of murmurs, and Fredo looked over. Jamie smashed his mouth as if he was eating, and was still shouting Imogen's name.

"It was really just a whim!"

Furui glanced at Jamie. He was questioning himself at this moment. What should he do? He had already formed a fate with these two children, but if he could not cut off this fate, he would There may be problems in the great journey that is about to begin.

But everything can only be known tomorrow. After seeing Imogen, Fredo planned to think carefully about the next thing.

"After all, the reason why I'm here is because of you, coward!"

Fredo grinned slightly.

It wasn't until dawn that Jamie finally got up from the bed. It seemed that he had not slept very peacefully and was in a bad state of mind.

"There's food over there, Jamie, if you're hungry."

Before Fredo could finish speaking, Jamie was already devouring it.

"Aren't you going now?"

Jamie asked and Fredo laughed.

"I made an appointment with that Hogg to discuss things at noon."

Jamie looked a little disappointed, with an anxious look covering his cheeks.

Although Fredo has been comforting Jamie, he now gradually feels that things are not simple.

Finally at 1 o'clock in the afternoon, Fredo took Jamie to Hogg's mansion again. As before, Jamie was taken to the slave room. Jamie was watching everywhere on the lawn, hoping to Finding the sister who talked to him last night, Jamie soon saw her. She was working next to a flower bed, still smiling.

Fredo entered the mansion under the leadership of the housekeeper. Soon Fredo came to the living room. However, the next second Fredo's expression froze. In a bag, Imogen lay expressionless. Inside, there were bruises on the cheeks.

"This is how the same thing?"

Hogg immediately came over with a smile.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Fredo. Something went wrong yesterday. The slave escaped on the way here and was caught by the people in the slave shop. He was severely punished. He seemed to be stimulated in some way. ."

Fredo immediately walked over and leaned down to check, but he immediately felt something was wrong, because Imogen didn't look like she had suffered any stimulation at all, more like a vegetative state with a damaged brain.

Fredo then opened the bag directly. The moment he saw Imogen, Fredo was stunned, but he quickly suppressed his anger.

"Then Mr. Hogg, as agreed, sell this slave to me first."

Hogg immediately spoke.

"Definitely."

Fredo picked up Imogen. He planned to take her away first, at least to give Jamie an explanation.

"Let's get down to business, Sir Fredo."

"Wait until I hand over this slave to our people first."

Hogg immediately said with a smile.

"Don't worry, you can study it as long as you're alive, right?"

Fredo closed his eyes. In this situation, he couldn't explain anything to Jamie. At this time, Fredo started to blame himself.

After chatting casually with Hogg for a while, the two immediately signed a large order. Hogg happily planned to send Fredo away, and Fredo walked out of the mansion holding Imogen.

Hogg didn't say anything else, he just agreed to continue visiting his weapons factory tomorrow.

Fredo also agreed. When he came to the door, a kangaroo brought Jamie over. Jamie looked at the woman in Fredo's arms and ran over in a hurry.

"Imogen!"

Jamie shouted, and all the kangaroos around him looked over. However, Fredo's eyes widened in the next second. He saw Jamie suddenly rushing towards Hogg beside him and jumped up. He hit it with his fist.

"You kid is looking for death!"

The guard next to him immediately jumped over. Jamie roared angrily and rushed forward. Fredo immediately held Jamie down. Jamie screamed after falling to the ground. He cried and tried to struggle.

"Sir Fredo, it seems that you are not very good at disciplining slaves. Do you want me to help you?"

Fredo took off his sunglasses and looked at Jamie who was crying. His anger and unwillingness were all reflected on his cheeks. Fredo put down Imogen in his hand, and Jamie cried and hugged Imogen. Qin kept shouting and burst into tears.

"Sorry!"

Fredo looked at the kangaroos surrounding him and put on his sunglasses again.

"Your Excellency Fredo, I think"

boom

The moment Hogg was about to speak, Fredo suddenly turned around and hit his cheek directly with his fist. In an instant, Hawke's cheek sunken, and his eyeballs were squeezed and burst. In an instant, the kangaroos around him They all looked at Fredo in horror.

"Sorry, sorry!"

Whizzing

Freddo took action before the kangaroos nearby could react. In less than a few seconds, several kangaroos nearby fell to the ground. Jamie was still crying, and Furydo Many have already started fighting.

"Wake up, Imogen, I'm Jamie, I'm Coward Jamie!"

The surroundings have become a mess, and Jamie doesn't care about anything at this time. He just hopes that Imogen can talk to him. Imogen seems to be dead now.

Fredo kept running back and forth, killing the kangaroos that came around one by one. Soon a large number of kangaroos rushed out of the entire mansion, and in the sky not far away, a large number of levitators were heading towards this Bian leaned over, Jamie roared feebly, but the current situation was terrible for the two of them.

"Haha, it looks like you saved me again Jamie, if it weren't for you, maybe we would have been doomed!"
