Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

The wind was howling violently, the dust was flying outside, and sand and stones kept flying in. Jamie was already looking disgraced even when he was standing in the corner. The wind and sand had lasted for more than a day, but it had not shown signs of decline, but was getting worse.

"How about we go, Fredo."

Jamie suggested and Fredo shook his head.

"Such wind and sand usually last for two or three days, because now is the harvest season, and many crops in the fields have been transported to the city. The city's grain factories will be in full operation, and the temperatures in all major kangaroo branches will rise, so the wind will be very strong. big."

The reason why the kangaroos did not demolish the remaining buildings of humans was to block the wind and sand. Jamie seemed a little unable to sit still. He ran to the side of the motorcycle again, took out the kangaroos' weapons and started playing with them.

"Can you tell me, Fredo, what's going on with your brain waves?"

Fredo was a little helpless, because this could not be explained clearly. Even Fredo himself did not know what was going on. Kangaroos could control machinery and weapons with their thoughts.

All the controllable machines in kangaroo society are designed for kangaroos. All kangaroos have become accustomed to it since childhood. No kangaroo went back to pursue the root cause. Fredo also asked about it, but no one knew the secret.

Controlling all machinery with thoughts is also a core secret in kangaroo society. No one knows how the kangaroos do it. The core control components cannot be analyzed. Even if they are taken apart, the truth cannot be known.

Fredo's comrades once tried to crack it, but no matter what method they used, they could not know what the control component was made of, and the control component would be directly damaged once it was disassembled.

The domination of humans also applies to kangaroo society. Many kangaroos at the middle and lower levels are unable to access some knowledge. For example, materials science is strictly controlled.

"Why don't we go, Fredo."

Jamie said again, Fredo laughed and still rejected Jamie's proposal. In such a windy and sandy day, although Coco helped to confirm the route, it would be difficult for Jamie and Imogen to go out in such a windy and sandy day. A kind of torture, and it will also lose too much mecha energy.

And Fredo has been thinking about one thing recently. Many times, kangaroos rely too much on AI. Any more complex matters will be handed over to AI. What do the kangaroos need to think about.

The result of relying too much on one thing is that it often becomes difficult to think. Now, in addition to determining the route and using AI during battles, Fredo thinks more independently at other times.

This kind of independent thinking is very necessary. If you rely too much on AI, you will not want to do anything after a long time.

"so boring."

After tinkering for a while, Jamie finally put down the laser transmitter. He still couldn't use it. Jamie felt that if humans could use weapons like kangaroos, they would not be weaker than kangaroos.

Judging from Fredo's appearance, he really didn't intend to leave, Imogen was still sleeping, and Jamie couldn't stand the wind and sand in his ears, but he couldn't go out directly.

Fury took another look at the time, it was just 3 o'clock noon, he looked at Jamie's irritable look and said.

"The wind and sand will stop after a while."

Jamie looked at Fredo dubiously, but in the past two hours, the wind and sand had really become lighter. Jamie ran to the dilapidated street and started tinkering next to a rusty car.

"You really know everything, Fredo."

"This is just very basic knowledge Jamie. You will understand it more or less slowly in the future."

Seeing Jamie being so curious, Fredo felt relieved. This showed that he was thinking about something very well. These things are difficult for humans to understand. Many humans have stopped thinking about why and gave up thinking. Because it’s useless no matter how much you think about it, as long as you don’t starve or freeze.

Jamie opened the car door forcefully, there was a loud click, dust rose up, Jamie coughed, he got into the car, there were still some useful things in this thing, Jamie knew it was called a car , is a tool used by humans in the past, but Jamie is not too sure what it is used for.

Jamie searched the back seat and rummaged through a pile of rotten clothes. The clothes fell apart at the slightest touch, making Jamie very uncomfortable.

Jamie had dug out some usable metal objects in this car in the past. Jamie wanted to find out what was in this iron box-like car.

Soon Jamie found that there was nothing. He climbed out of the car and went to another car. After opening the door, Jamie started rummaging again, but suddenly Jamie saw something in the distance, in the gray. Something is moving in the misty sea of ​​sand.

Jamie tried hard to see clearly, but found that the thing was moving, and it was a big thing.

"Fredo, there's something over there."

Jamie said, Fredo stood up, took a glance and said.

"It's just large debris left over from the past, moving in the wind and sand."

Jamie still planned to go there, but Fredo picked up Imogen, started the motorcycle, and drove Jamie over. Soon they left the city and entered the sea of ​​sand. Fredo also felt strange at this time He stood up because the thing in front of him was huge, a metal object dozens of meters high.

Getting closer, Fredo saw a ship, which was a means of transportation for humans in the past. The hull was rusty, and holes could be seen in many places. The ship must have been in the violent wind and sand, bit by bit. Those who moved here are already riddled with holes.

"What does this mean Freddo."

Jamie asked, pointing to a line of small words on the bow.

"The John."

Seeing that Jamie wanted to go in, Fredo restrained Imogen first and then turned on the light source. Jamie ran in happily. Fredo looked at the structure at the bottom of the ship. This should be the power room. Jay Mi looked around curiously, and soon Fredo and the others came to a warehouse on the bottom floor, which contained a large number of human skeletons.

Jamie was not afraid, so he picked up some at random and looked at them. Fredo checked the surroundings. Many of the skulls here had holes, and they must have been shot. There were also some bullets that had penetrated the skulls on the ground.

Jamie also picked up a piece of rusty metal from the ground. It was quite heavy in his hand, had a strange shape, and had a place to hold his fingers.

"This is a human weapon from the past."

Jamie was a little surprised, as if he had found a treasure, and hoped that Fredo could teach him how to use it. Fredo brought it over and asked Jamie to buckle a piece of metal, and then explained.

"This is a pistol. There is a metal bullet with gunpowder added inside. When the gun is pulled, the gunpowder explodes in the gun, generating propulsion and ejecting the metal."

Jamie smiled and pulled the gun hard, but it was obvious that this pistol was useless. Jamie quickly found several more pistols, but it was obvious that these guns had been completely corroded by the wind and sand, and they were all broken.

The two walked up the stairs that were still intact, but some places were damaged. Fredo warned Jamie to be careful, but Jamie still fell several times.

When we arrived at the middle floor, it looked better. There was a long corridor with independent small rooms on both sides. Jamie went in and looked at them one by one and found a lot of waste.

Soon Jamie and the others came to a semicircular room on the middle floor. There were a lot of broken glass and a lot of bones. Fredo looked around. Jamie walked to a long platform. Soon Jamie Mi laughed and took out a box of things from a tattered cabinet, with a bunch of words he didn't recognize on it.

"What is this Freddo?"

Fredo walked over and took a look and said.

"Wine should be a drink used by humans in the past."

Jamie swallowed a mouthful and fiddled with it for a long time without knowing how to open it. Fredo laughed. He had heard of this kind of thing that humans used to like to drink before. Then Fredo took out a round The machine was placed on the bottle, and it quickly discovered something in the bottle of liquid from the data panel.

"Does Koko contain any dangerous substances that are harmful to humans?"

No. But some of the ingredients can cause brain damage to kangaroos.

Fredo raised his hand, and with a flash of white light, Fredo directly cut the bottle with a laser. A strong aroma spread in the air, and both of them smelled it. Jamie held his nose and sniffed.

"It smells so good, Freddo."

Jamie swallowed a sip and sniffed it closer. It was really fragrant. The liquid inside looked a little yellow. After Jamie swallowed a sip, he mustered up the courage to take a big sip.

Guru

In an instant, Jamie felt a strong burning sensation extending from his throat to his stomach. He screamed in pain. Fredo hurriedly took the bottle in his hand. Jamie howled in pain, but After a while, Jamie felt that his body became warm and everything in front of him was shaking.

"What's going on, Fredo?"

Jamie fell to the ground as soon as he got up. He felt a little numb in his limbs, but the gentle feeling in his stomach gradually made Jamie very comfortable, and his whole body felt extremely relaxed. He took the bottle, and this time Jamie didn't say anything. Instead of taking a big gulp, he took a small sip.

"It's delicious, Freddo. Would you like some?"

Fredo refused, Jamie laughed, Fredo observed carefully, Jamie's heart rate and blood flow rate were faster now, and he was very happy.

Jamie clapped his thighs, sat on the ground, hugged the bottle, laughed, and took a sip from time to time. He felt great. After drinking this, Jamie felt as if he had gained some incredible power. he said, standing up unsteadily.

"What's so scary about kangaroos? Let's fight Fredo."

Looking at Jamie's strange look, Fredo couldn't understand that after drinking this human drink, human beings would change their personalities drastically, and they looked very happy. Jamie shook his head and continued to drink from the bottle. .

After a while, Jamie stopped moving. He was lying on the ground, talking nonsense, and moving his hands and feet randomly. Fredo only watched and recorded quietly from the side. Jamie's body also changed. , the heart rate was still rising, and Jamie gradually fell asleep.

"It's really something magical."

Fredo felt pretty good, so he started searching, and soon found several boxes of different types of wine, with more than three hundred bottles.

"Where is this place?"

Jamie was still talking confusedly, and Fredo smiled.

Everything in front of him was shaking. Jamie looked at everything in front of him in horror. He saw from a platform directly opposite that he was now in the semicircular hall just now.

There were some noises everywhere. Many people were hugging each other, wearing beautiful clothes, and doing some kind of activities. Gradually, Jamie jumped up happily. He imitated the crowds swaying around him. The sound was quite loud. melodious.

Jamie found that these sounds all came from a man on one side who was holding some metal objects, blowing them with his mouth, and playing them with his hands. The whole environment looked extremely cheerful, Jamie asked with a smile.

"You are human, right?"

Jamie asked, but no one paid him any attention. Just when Jamie wanted to touch a woman, the moment he stretched out his hand, a man wearing a hat, white clothes and sharp eyes stopped him not far away. .

"stop."

Jamie was startled. The man came over angrily and grabbed Jamie's hand. Suddenly Jamie saw a burst of blue light on the man's skin, and his skin looked like It was intertwined with blue silk threads, and everyone in the hall was like this, and Jamie panicked.

"You shouldn't be in this place."

Jamie asked with some fear as he had no idea what was going on.

"What on earth is this place?"

Jamie was completely at a loss. The man took out a cigar and lit it, accompanied by steaming blue flames.

"In the world of microns, I'm very surprised, young man, why you can enter here."

Jamie swallowed, not knowing what was going on, his head was a little confused.

At this moment, everyone around him disappeared, and Jamie looked at the man in front of him in horror.

"My name is Jamie and you?"

"John."

Jamie looked at the man in front of him doubtfully.

"How did I get here?"

John laughed.

"I want to know too, right Mr. Jean!"

As soon as John spoke, Jamie looked over. There was a white-haired man at the door. He looked cold and his eyes were frightening. On his cheeks, there were many surging black tentacle-like objects. , looked like a beating black flame, Jamie took a few steps back in fear, and the next second this white-haired man named Gene stood in front of Jamie.

"John, don't try to test anything, it has nothing to do with you."

As soon as Gene finished speaking, John turned into a flowing blue flame and disappeared. Jamie was completely stunned.

"Long time no see Jamie."

Jamie looked at Gene in front of him in astonishment. His eyes changed and became softer, and he seemed to recognize himself.

"do we know each other?"

Gene smiled gently and put a hand on Jamie's arm.

"We will meet in the future. I didn't expect to meet you here Jamie. I need you to remember one thing and then help me convey it to an extremely important person."

Jamie was completely confused, Gene smiled, took out a cigarette and lit it, then stood up, raised his head, and blew out a puff of smoke.

"It's been so many years. I really miss Jamie. There may be some changes in the future!"
