Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

Under the dim light, dozens of people were whispering quietly. Some of them have been hiding here for almost a year. They go out every two or three days to get some discarded leftovers and water around the kangaroos' farmland. Living like this.

Most of the people here have certain disabilities, and some people have basically lost their labor force. The kangaroos are very cruel to humans who have lost their labor force. If they are infertile, they will be killed directly.

The reason why these people wanted to escape was probably driven by fear, and they fled directly to the nearby dilapidated city. They had not had a full meal for many days.

Fredo could see that there were still many people who were afraid of him and were far away from him. Jamie was still taking care of Imogen, and very carefully put the batter and porridge into Imogen's mouth little by little. inside.

Fredo has already told Jamie how to take care of Imogen. Although Jamie's actions seem a bit clumsy, he is very careful and conscientious.

After helping Imogen move her body and clean up the excrement, Jamie took Imogen to a small room that had been decorated. After Jamie put Imogen down, she covered her with a blanket.

After coming out, Jamie picked up the laser weapon used by the kangaroos, put it on his hand and started playing with it.

"Have you forgotten what I told you? Jamie, these weapons require the special thought waves of the kangaroos to operate."

Jamie said with a smile.

"What if it really comes in handy one day?"

Fredo said nothing more. He planned to rest until dawn tomorrow and leave. The injuries on his body would have almost recovered after another night.

Fredo took out a crystal screen, opened it and started to look at the map.

"Coco, the shortest route."

Soon a blue line appeared on the map.

Have avoided a few kangaroo branches along the way.

Fredo nodded. He had to go to Branch 99 as soon as possible to get the grain compression technology. Then he had to cross the territory of the five kangaroo legions and head to the northern coast. Once everything was completed, he could set sail.

Seeing Jamie's excitement, Fredo didn't know what to say to Jamie, because Imogen was already hopeless and no matter what Jamie did, it would be useless.

Fredo stood up, took out a cigar and lit it, then walked to the door of the building and looked at the dark and desolate street outside. Many people behind him returned to their rooms to sleep.

Fredo pressed against the mottled walls, feeling a little helpless. These things were symbols of human civilization. The kangaroos did not level the city because these ruins were a kind of warning to humans.

All this is to highlight the power of kangaroos. Everything in the past of human beings was destroyed by kangaroos. The kangaroos need humans to have this kind of understanding.

Fredo once asked many humans. They all knew that everything about humans was destroyed by kangaroos, and had no idea that such a violent disaster had ever occurred in this world.

The kangaroos also subtly changed the concept to a huge war that broke out in the world at that time. The war was caused by humans. Then the kangaroos calmed everything down and enslaved humans.

Human beings in this country have no hope, because they have no power to resist the kangaroos. There were many human beings who wanted to try to learn some knowledge. After being discovered by the kangaroos, these humans were treated cruelly.

After the birth of human children, the kangaroos will instill in them ideas that are convenient for governing when they begin to recognize things, and will never let them come into contact with anything related to knowledge.

"By the way, Fredo, please see if what I wrote is correct."

In the empty hall, Jamie used stones to write numbers on the ground. It looked crooked, but it was generally correct. Jamie could write up to 10, but Jamie still couldn't understand the concept of numbers.

Fredo once had a human friend who had a method that could teach a person simple addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. However, after that friend died, it was difficult for Fredo to teach humans this by relying on the method he conceived.

Fredo also considered trying other methods, but it was obviously too difficult.

"1 plus 1 equals 2, right?"

Fredo nodded, and Jamie continued to ask about other additions and subtractions. Fredo answered patiently.

Two hours later, Jamie was still in high spirits, and Fredo was already feeling sleepy. This was the first time he taught people like this. Perhaps this was the reason why he was unable to teach humans some knowledge.

Kangaroos are naturally impatient, and Freddo can't overcome it.

"Okay Jamie, go and rest."

"Teach me a little longer, Fredo, I'm still energetic."

Fredo smiled helplessly.

"Sorry, Jamie, my wound hurts a little now."

Jamie then realized that Fredo was still injured.

"Sorry Fredo, I'm going to bed."

Jamie returned to the small room and leaned against the wall. He also realized that Fredo was lying. It was not because of the pain in Fredo's wound. When he first taught, Jamie asked what Fredo would patiently explain. , but towards the end, Fredo’s explanation became vague and a little irritable and disgusting.

"Maybe it's because we are of different races, so he doesn't have any need to take us with him."

Jamie felt a little sad in his heart at this time. Regarding learning some knowledge, although many things were difficult for Jamie to understand, learning was very interesting.

Jamie had felt it a long time ago. Jamie heard some old people say that this was caused by human curiosity. Of course, Jamie didn't understand what curiosity was. He just wanted to know something.

It's just that no one can tell Jamie what the words on the papers floating on the street mean. Jamie has trouble understanding even the simplest numbers.

Just when Jamie was a little lost, he felt someone looking at him in the dark. As soon as Jamie looked over, he was startled.

"Imogen, are you awake?"

Jamie said with a somewhat excited tone and ran over in a hurry. Sure enough, Imogen sat up and looked ahead with dull eyes.

"Are you scared? One more thing, don't blame me, Imogen. During the few days when you were in a coma?"

Jamie seemed a little embarrassed, because during the days when Imogen was comatose, Jamie helped sort out the excrement. In the past, whenever there was a little bit of physical contact, Imogen would be very angry.

"There's nothing I can do about it. I'm sorry, Imogen. I have no choice but to do this. Otherwise, your body will have problems. Also, your body was quite cold when I held you to sleep in the past few days."

Jamie was talking to himself, not noticing that Fredo was standing at the door. He looked at Imogen happily, but Jamie felt a little strange at this time, because although Imogen was awake, her appearance It looks a little strange.

"I really didn't mean it, Imogen. Are you hungry? I'll get you something to eat."

Jamie said, but at this time, Imogen's eyes were still dull and she looked at him motionlessly. Jamie lowered his head. He felt that maybe Imogen was too angry and was frightened.

"It's okay, Imogen. I will take good care of you. You know, I have made up my mind. I will go with you. Fredo also said that he will take me with him. We can leave here soon. There is a piece of land. That place called Brilliant City might still exist and be ruled by humans. I'm thinking that when we go there, we, who are also humans, should be able to live."

Jamie said and sat next to Imogen. He lowered his head shyly and stretched out his hand to touch her. Jamie has liked Imogen since a long time ago. Anyway, he just likes it. Jamie has this kind of feeling. I heard people say it is called love.

Jamie also cannot understand what love is, because he is very happy when he sees Imogen every day and wants to do something for her. Many times, Jamie is silently paying attention to everything about Imogen.

On the night of the riot, Jamie was actually sleeping, but Imogen said she wanted to leave. Although Jamie was scared at the time, he still ran with Imogen.

Jamie stretched out his hand little by little and touched a touch of coldness.

"Your hands are so cold, Imogen."

Jamie's cheeks were filled with phlegm, he kept swallowing, and then held Imogen's hand tightly.

"Imogen, actually. Actually, I have liked you a long time ago."

Jamie smiled and moved closer, but Imogen was still the same, as if she was sleeping with her eyes open. Jamie felt something was wrong, and he stood in front of Imogen.

"Imogen, what's wrong with you? Talk."

Jamie pressed Imogen's arm and shook it. At this time, Imogen looked at Jamie, and Jamie said with a smile.

"Imogen, what happened to you?"

Jamie asked, but no matter how Jamie spoke, Imogen never responded, and Imogen's eyes were cold. This extremely unfamiliar look made Jamie feel pain, and he became anxious.

"What happened to Imogen? What did they do to you?"

No matter what Jamie asked or said, Imogen never responded.

"Let's wait for a while. It may get better after a while. It may be that he suffered a very painful thing, which caused some mental problems."

At this time Fredo's voice sounded, Jamie stood up hurriedly, wiped the overflowing tears and asked.

"Really?"

Fredo nodded.

"I have seen similar human beings before. After being tortured, they were greatly stimulated and became like this. It may take a year or two."

Fredo knew that such lies were bad, but he couldn't bear to tell Jamie the truth, perhaps because of the guilt in his heart. If he didn't involve these two children, Imogen would not change. Like this.

The human prefrontal lobe is the key place that controls emotions, language and memory. Once removed, humans will suffer from memory loss, loss of personality, loss of language, and disappearance of thinking, making them no different from dead people.

Fredo didn't know why humans would preserve such a surgical method that would make life worse than death. The kangaroos found this method that could deal a devastating blow to humans from the medical classics of the past.

"Get her something to eat first."

Jamie stood up, brought the food after a while, and carefully fed it to Imogen. She looked really hungry, and ate it voraciously. However, after eating, Imogen was still sluggish. appearance.

"Talk to her more."

Fredo said and left the room. Jamie hugged Imogen with a smile, because Imogen was very cold now and could feel her shaking. Jamie wrapped her in a blanket and started hugging Imogen. Some whispers were said.

Fredo returned to the hall and planned to rest on his motorcycle when several people came over.

"Is there still food? Can you give me some more?"

Fredo did not refuse their request. The food was enough for the three of them to travel hundreds of kilometers to Branch 99. Fredo was still thinking about what would happen next. Perhaps Jamie would discover the truth one day.

"He might blame me then."

Fredo also thought that if Jamie discovered the truth one day, he would apologize to Jamie properly.

Fredo had read many classics on human medical treatment. This vicious surgery was pioneered by humans, and the founder seemed to have won an extremely important award in human society. Fredo only found it quite funny.

There is no recovery method after the prefrontal lobe is removed.

Fredo didn't get a good rest all night, and kept waking up and falling asleep again.

It wasn't until the sky outside became a little brighter that at 11 o'clock in the morning, Fredo planned to hit the road.

"Where are you going Imogen."

Jamie took Imogen's hand and pulled her to the side of the motorcycle.

"Come up."

Jamie said, but Imogen was still sluggish and wanted to move forward, so Jamie could only pick her up and put her in the pocket beside the motorcycle.

"Imogen, have you forgotten?"

Jamie suspects that Imogen may have forgotten the past because Jamie has seen this happen before.

"Don't worry, you will definitely remember everything after a while."

Jamie said confidently, Fredo smiled, many people were looking at them, Fredo gave them a lot of food and water, some people were saying goodbye to them, Jamie waved happily.

"Everyone, please live well. If I come back next time, I will bring you something."

Fredo stared at Jamie sideways. He had changed now. He gave Fredo an indescribable feeling.

"Sit tight and hold Imogen well."

Jamie hummed, let Imogen lean into his arms, and the motorcycle started.

At this time, the world in front of Jamie was extremely bright. He held Imogen tightly. No matter where he went next, Jamie could go now, no matter where it was.

Fury lit an extra cigar and laughed.

"By the way Jamie, I'm really sorry for last night. We kangaroos are naturally impatient. I have tried it. If you stay on the same thing for too long, the kangaroo will become more irritable. Please forgive me."

Jamie smiled.

"It's okay, just teach me for a little while next time, Fredo."
