Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

"You can be the world, or you can be yourself! Remember Jamie, then"

"What are you talking about Gene?"

Suddenly Jamie woke up, his head still felt dizzy, and the world outside was still gray.

"Good morning Jamie."

Fredo looked at Jamie. He slept very soundly last night. After drinking a bottle of wine, Jamie yawned and felt very comfortable. There were boxes of wine not far away, many of which had been used. Fredo moved to the extension rack behind the motorcycle.

"That should be enough for you to drink."

Jamie walked over with a smile. Although he felt uncomfortable when he started drinking, he felt very comfortable after drinking it for a while. However, Jamie was a little confused, as if he had had a long dream.

"Jean? Who is it?"

Jamie asked, and Fredo on the side responded doubtfully.

"What's wrong, is he someone you know well?"

Jamie said after thinking about it for a while.

"I had a dream. A guy named Jean took me to travel to many places, a very beautiful world, but I can't remember it. He seemed to have told me something important. It was strange, right? Redo.”

Fredo said with a smile.

"Dreams are so strange. We kangaroos rarely dream, and even if they do, they are very short-lived. But people are different and can have long-lasting dreams. That guy may be someone you knew in the past."

When Jamie heard this, he stopped thinking about it. He stood up and looked at the food in the pot. Imogen was standing outside in the wind and sand, walking back and forth aimlessly on the street.

"Eat quickly Jamie, we can hit the road after lunch."

Jamie wolfed down the food which still tasted warm.

After eating Jamie ran out into the street.

"Imogen, please don't go over there anymore."

Jamie pulled Imogen, and when she turned around, she still looked at her with an extremely unfamiliar look. Jamie felt a little helpless.

"When will you remember it?"

Fredo started to pack up. It was just 11 o'clock in the morning, and he only had to wait two or three hours before he could leave.

A floating detection robot is approaching!

Following Coco's reminder, Fredo immediately shouted.

"Come inside, come on Jamie."

After a while, Jamie came in with Imogen, and Fredo came to the front of the motorcycle. Soon with a flash of light, the surface of the motorcycle began to change. Jamie watched in shock as the motorcycle turned into A broken wall.

"What's this?"

"Signal shielding optical camouflage, look over there."

Jamie followed the direction that Fredo pointed and saw a lot of machines that were large at the top and thin at the bottom. He had seen them before, but he didn't know what they were for.

"After every large-scale sandstorm, the kangaroos will release this floating detection robot to monitor the landscape after the sandstorm and whether it has caused any harm to the surrounding environment."

Jamie scratched his head, and Fredo continued to tell him that there is an advantage to this, because most of the kangaroo farmlands are located on the periphery of the steel city, and the kangaroos must monitor the environment. Once there is a problem with the environment outside the farmland, the kangaroos will We can make response plans in advance.

"How long will it take?"

Jamie had just cleaned up Imogen's excrement, and he couldn't wait to get on the road. The uncertainty in his heart before had disappeared. After arriving in a strange place, he always felt vaguely uneasy, but now Jamie Mi is very happy and can adapt to everything quickly.

Finally, at around 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the motorcycle started again. The motorcycle once again came to the dilapidated ship, and Fredo stopped.

"What's wrong Fredo?"

After Fredo got off the motorcycle, he took a look at the front of the hull and saw some obvious marks. The marks looked fresh.

"Koko, how long ago were these traces left?"

5 minutes ago

Fredo quietly stared at the traces on the ground, which extended to the edge of the hull. He thought about it carefully last night, although he thought it might be the wind and sand that pushed the dilapidated hull here. But then I thought about it, it was impossible because of how much wind power it would take to do it.

The hull weighed thousands of tons in total, and Fredo grinned.

"Don't you think it's weird Jamie."

"What's weird?"

Jamie didn't understand it at all, it was just a few marks on the ground, and Fredo laughed.

"No matter how strong the wind is, it can't bring the ship here."

Jamie groaned.

"Didn't you say yesterday that it was brought by the wind?"

Fredo shook his head.

"Let's go over and take a look."

Jamie hummed.

"Koko follows the traces."

The motorcycle started, and Fredo moved along this long trace. The speed of the motorcycle was very slow, and the trace in front of him was very long, and Fredo also noticed that the position of the hull had changed. This is why Fredo wanted to chase him and have a look.

The long traces extend to the gray place in the distance, and the visibility in front of you is very low. Although the wind and sand are not as strong as yesterday, on such a sand sea, as long as there is a little wind, it is enough to make these sand grains fly in the air.

The trail in front of him seemed to have no end and kept extending forward. Furui took another look at the screen and saw that he had traveled more than 3 kilometers. However, there was still no sign of it. Instead, the visibility in front of him was getting lower and lower. There are a lot of sand and dust floating in the air.

Fredo had asked Jamie and Imogen to put on filter masks, and Jamie asked worriedly.

"Fredo, how about we go back."

"What, are you scared?"

Jamie hummed, and Fredo also felt something strange, because he felt that there was too much dust floating in the air, and according to Koko's calculations, there was no air flow nearby. This phenomenon was very strange.

A huge shadow appeared in front of him, a group of darker dust polymers that were slowly rolling like a pillar.

Fredo had never seen such a situation before. He slowed down the motorcycle again. Jamie looked at it with some fear. Soon the traces disappeared. Fredo stopped, and in the distance was the dust column. material polymer.

According to Kou Kou's analysis, these dust objects floating in the air are spiraling upward, as if they are being guided by something, and are constantly going upward.

Fredo got off the motorcycle. He looked at the dust in front of him, feeling vaguely uneasy. Jamie did not get off the motorcycle.

"Fredo, let's go."

Jamie said something, but Fredo didn't intend to leave at this time, but planned to go in and take a look.

"Stay here Jamie, I'll go in and take a look."

"Forget it Freddo."

Jamie felt confused. He didn't know why he always felt panicked when looking at the gray pillar in front of him and wanted to escape.

When encountering such an unsolved mystery, Fredo usually wants to go in and take a look. Even if he cannot know what is going on, this strong desire to explore makes Fredo pick up his weapon and walk over.

The road began to go downwards, and this place seemed to be a big pit.

"Coco, stay alert."

After Fredo finished speaking, he threw away his coat. The mechanical vest under the coat began to extend downwards, and soon wrapped around Fredo's body. He began to jump downwards with the laser weapon.

It was very quiet all around, and almost no sound could be heard. Fredo felt that the soil under his feet had become hard. He subconsciously took a look and saw that it turned out to be a stone step. Fredo was startled. Suddenly, there was a sound in the distance. Came the shouts.

Fredo immediately looked over. For a moment, Fredo was stunned. The sea of ​​sand behind him had disappeared, and what appeared in front of him was a facility that looked like some kind of field surrounded by some wooden fences. It was surrounded by There were many people in red uniforms, many of them holding long guns.

Fredo was shocked. He immediately jumped forward. In an instant, Fredo passed through the bodies of these people, and the bodies of these people seemed to be floating and swaying like flowing light points. After Fredo landed, these people The body returned to its original state.

"Koko, is it some kind of optical image?"

Fredo asked, but the next moment a line of words appeared in front of Fredo.

Keep it confidential!

Fredo felt surprised. He tried several times. These people were like fluid light particles and couldn't be touched at all. And they obviously couldn't see Fredo.

Their attire should be that of soldiers, and in the field under the steps, two people were fighting with bare hands. They looked ragged and unkempt, and they were roaring and trying to kill each other with all their strength.

These soldiers should be carrying guns, but they looked extremely primitive. Fredo observed that these guns seemed to need to be loaded with ammunition and then fired. They only had single shots, not continuous shots.

Fredo looked at it with confusion, feeling that these people seemed a little crazy. Many people gathered around the venue, drinking wine, hugging women, and watching the two people fighting in the venue with great interest. But what they said, Fu Ruiduo Rui Duo couldn't understand.

"Can Kou Kou convert the language?"

Keep it confidential!

Still with these two words, Fredo could only continue to read. These people seemed to enjoy seeing the same kind of people fighting. This was difficult to understand in Fredo's world, because kangaroos would do this even when they were courting. In such a battle, the criterion for judgment is the strong one. As long as he defeats the other party, he will be able to obtain the right to mate without killing the other party.

"What are they fighting about?"

Within a few minutes of the fight between the two, they were each injured and bleeding, and the people on the sidelines were even more happy. Many people held up small bags in their hands, which made a rattling sound. Some people were walking back and forth on the edge of the field, holding A small notebook and a pen, and then a shiny metal round object will be taken out from the small bag in the hands of the onlookers on the sidelines.

Fredo has seen that this is a coin, a means of transaction in human society in the past.

There is no such currency transaction in the kangaroo society. What each level of kangaroos can enjoy is stipulated from the beginning.

Soon the fight between the two became more and more intense, and the winner was about to be decided. The sidelines thundered, and many people stood up and shouted in unison.

Fredo felt extremely incredible. Although he didn't understand, he also understood that they asked the winner to kill the loser. At this time, someone threw a stone into the venue.

The winner picked up the stone, shouted wildly, and smashed it on the head of the dying loser on the ground. After a while, everything was over, and the scene was very bloody.

Fredo couldn't stand such a scene. At this time, the man with the small book went to give some currency to the people on the sidelines. Fredo realized that this was gambling, and some of the losers seemed helpless. , and the winners were cheering.

Using other people's lives as a bet is incomprehensible to Fredo.

Soon the stones under the field were taken away. Fredo saw that after the wooden fence was opened, two more unkempt people came out. The sidelines began to become excited again. Many people were holding coin bags. Constantly shaking.

Fredo noticed that the previous victor looked very sad. He looked at the opponent he had killed with despair in his eyes. Fredo ran to the field below and saw many cages surrounding him. Many people seemed to be dying, and those who had just won were taken to another place, which was wider, with food and women.

After the man had eaten and drank enough, he began to enjoy himself, and the other people also looked at him eagerly. Fredo probably understood what was going on, and these people might be the criminals.

Fredo sighed helplessly and looked at the green forest in the distance. He didn't know why he came to this place, but he wanted to see now. This place might be the distant past of human rule. what happened there.

In the past, when Fred was in school, the history he learned was that humans were a brutal race in history. They enslaved other races, even carried out inhumane killings of their own race, and constantly provoked wars. Therefore, humans are evil. .

In the past, Fredo thought that this history might be fabricated, but since learning about the prefrontal lobe surgery, Fredo has had a vague feeling that humans may indeed have been destroying the world as stated in historical texts in the past. , slaughtering the same kind.

At this time, Fredo saw a place with more people, and he quickly jumped over. It was the sea. On the blue sea under the sun, there were many boats moored, and these boats were all made of wood.

Fredo saw a ship entering the harbor. He came to the harbor where there were people everywhere. There were many soldiers here. The ship with flags hanging in the distance slowly docked. The moment the cabin opened, Fredo saw A group of people who were chained came out tremblingly amid the sound of whips. There were even people in the cabin who had been dead for many days.

Individuals lined up and walked out. Fredo probably knew that what awaited them was only endless labor and the brutal fight just now.

"What on earth am I doing?"

Fredo closed his eyes, and everything in the past emerged in his mind. It is true that Fredo has seen the viciousness of human beings, but more often, he is willing to believe that more humans are kind.
