Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

Finally seeing a slightly different color, Jamie yawned. In front of him was a dilapidated town. Not far away was a completely collapsed wall with a lot of machinery inside. Jamie got out of the car excitedly and ran away. past.

Fredo smiled easily. Imogen was still sleeping beside her. She had been walking on the deserted sand sea for two days. It would take at least 5 days to reach the 99th branch at the current speed.

Fredo took a look at the name on the factory. It was a food processing factory. Jamie had already ran in. He was very curious and would always run over to take a look at a fresh place as soon as possible.

"Koko, look at her."

After Fredo said something, the motorcycle flashed with light, and soon a cover on the side pocket lifted up, covering Imogen.

After walking into the dilapidated factory, Fredo saw a lot of primitive machinery. A large amount of black material was solidified on the broken assembly lines. Fredo took a look and saw that it was a kangaroo meat processing factory.

And it seemed to be very large. It was not just a delivery room, but there were also some breakable bags on the ground with the words "cat" and "dog" written on them. Through the text, Fredo knew that kangaroo meat was processed into cat and dog food here. factory.

Fredo has seen such factories in the past. After kangaroos overflowed in this land, humans tried to use various methods to eliminate kangaroos, and the most effective one was this kind of manufacturing of kangaroos. It can be made into food for other pets, and the fur can be made into clothing.

In the kangaroos' studies, these crimes committed by humans in the past were all written down in great detail. Fredo never thought about these things because he always felt that something was wrong. This wrongness stemmed from the kangaroos' enslavement. With human beings.

Fredo spent a lot of time thinking about the world and why it became like this. Especially after seeing the past scenery of this land the day before yesterday, Fredo was shocked in his heart.

Obviously this land is so vast and so rich in resources that it can feed everyone, including animals and plants. However, in the end this land is still destroyed, and it will only get worse.

Jamie climbed onto an assembly line and pulled a handle that looked like a control switch. He struggled to break it, but it was obvious that the handle was completely rusted. After trying for a while, Jamie rummaged around casually. When I got up, most of the things I found were corrupted.

"What the hell is this?"

Jamie looked at a torn bag, and there was a lot of black stuff, one by one. He picked it up and crushed it easily, put it in front of his nose and smelled it, but there was no smell.

"Pet food made from the bones and flesh of kangaroos once they were killed."

Jamie was startled, stood up hurriedly, clapped his hands, and looked around in horror.

Fredo smiled and walked over, Jamie pointed outside and said.

"Let's go out, Fredo."

Seeing Jamie's scared look, Fredo nodded, and the two left the factory. When they returned to the motorcycle, Imogen was already awake.

"How's it going, Imogen? Did you think of anything today?"

Jamie asked with a smile. Imogen looked at Jamie blankly. Jamie was not discouraged, but jumped next to Imogen, and Fredo was riding on the motorcycle.

The motorcycle slowly drove into this dilapidated town. It was already 4 o'clock in the afternoon. They planned to rest here for one night and leave early tomorrow morning. After all, there would be no place for them to rest next time.

Soon Fredo found a house with a cement structure. Although the walls were severely cracked and aged, at least they would not collapse. Those wooden structures had basically only fragments left.

The temperature began to drop sharply. Jamie pulled Imogen, and the two of them wrapped themselves in blankets. After entering the house, Fredo took out some kitchen utensils and planned to start cooking. Jamie took a sip of wine first and felt his body After getting warmer, she went over to help Fredo, while Imogen huddled in the corner.

Although Jamie wanted to give Imogen a sip, Fredo said that Imogen wasn't fully recovered yet, so it was best not to give her something so stimulating.

Fredo's life these days has been comfortable, and the irritability that often occurs is gone, and it is a pleasure to get along with Jamie.

After eating, Jamie was already dizzy, but this time he did not finish the bottle and remained awake. When it was time to teach again, Jamie stretched out his fingers to write numbers on the crystal panel.

Fredo explained patiently on the side, and as the time went on longer and longer, Fredo felt that it was not that he had changed, but that Jamie's attitude had affected him.

In the past, Fredo would feel irritated if he did the same thing over and over again, but over the past few days, Jamie's attitude towards learning new things made Fredo change.

"By the way, Fredo, after we get to the 99 branch, we can set sail after getting the things?"

Fredo nodded.

"After getting the corresponding technology, we need to go all the way back to the northern coast, and then we can start setting sail. I am ready for everything."

Jamie was happy. He danced and cheered. Fredo got up. It had been nearly 2 hours. Although Jamie still wanted to ask some questions, he still got up, picked up half a bottle of wine, and planned to drink it directly. sleep.

At around 9 o'clock, both Jamie and Imogen went to bed, and Fredo stood quietly by the window, looking at the dark and ruined streets in the distance.

Fredo knew very well that the rest of the journey would not be too flat. He had already encountered a lot of things across the way, and now he was taking Jamie and Imogen with him.

If it were just him, Fredo would have been confident to escape from Branch 99 directly after getting the required technology, but it was different now. He had to consider Jamie and Imogen.

10 at night

Meira quietly looked at the values ​​​​on the crystal panel. She was surrounded by kangaroo soldiers with guns and ammunition, as well as twenty of the most advanced mechas from Branch 77.

"Cotter, why did our plan come to light?"

Cotesel looked at Meira with a solemn expression. Now Branch 77 has begun to take action. Their plan to kill General Krum has been exposed.

Although General Krum has not yet ordered their arrest, and although he does not know why, there is only one way for Mera and Cotesel to go now, to defect directly and find generals from other branches as backup.

Mera thought at first that it might be Fredo who betrayed them, but in the end, after thinking about it carefully, it was not Fredo. Now they can only take more than 1,000 people from the legion to leave 77 on the grounds of conducting an investigation and fleeing from humans. branch.

Meira also wanted to have a good talk with Fredo, because Fredo escaped from Branch 77 with a human that day, which shocked the entire kangaroos in Branch 77.

In the kangaroo society, only the strong can win enough respect. They have traced the traces of Fredo, and a large number of soldiers are investigating nearby to determine the trajectory of Fredo and the others.

With Fredo's ability, he can become the commander of any kangaroo branch, and Fredo's knowledge and combat experience are extremely rich. This is a talent that the kangaroos in all major branches hope to get.

After Meira returned, she checked a lot of information in detail. They found that Fredo's wanted record was not revoked over time, but directly revoked by the generals of some branches.

The more information she looked up about Fredo, the more Meira discovered that there were many things about Fredo. Many of the things were not just that he caused riots in some areas, but that he solved some problems locally and interacted with local people. The Kangaroo branches reached an agreement.

"I think it's better to forget it, Meira, you can't possibly convince Fredo."

Cottersell said that now their only way is to find a weak kangaroo branch, then seek their protection, and gradually eat away at this weak branch, but this is not the best choice.

The best choice is to establish a kangaroo branch by yourself. This idea is obviously unrealistic, but at this time, Mera thought of Fredo. If Fredo was willing, Mera was willing to give up the position of commander-in-chief. position and let Fredo lead them.

"How will you know if you don't try? We have nothing to do now."

Soon a soldier came over to report that he had received instructions from General Krum, telling them to go back quickly. Meira directly told his subordinates not to reply anything, and the large army began to move forward.

Meira has taken away everything she can. Over the years, their 77th branch has been in an extremely embarrassing situation, because General Krum's heart is no longer on building the branch, but on enjoying himself. They even sold some of the scientific and technological achievements of Branch 77 at a low price. This approach made the status of the branch lower and lower.

Some kangaroos have already left branch 77 with their families and gone to branches with higher rankings. If this continues, the ranking of the branches will become lower and lower, and they will eventually become impoverished.

Most of the kangaroos who realized that this could not go on gathered together. Mera and Cotesel had planned everything a year ago. Most of the kangaroos in the city supported them. Even if they killed the general, Mera I am also sure that I can get the support of the kangaroos in the city.

But now they have failed. Sitting on the aircraft, Meira stared into the distance with some worry. She could basically tell where Fredo and the others were now. How to convince Fredo when they saw him was a problem. .

Soon news came from the front. It was confirmed that Furydo and the others were not far away in a dilapidated town that was once a human being. Meira immediately started to speed up. She had already thought of many plans. As long as she could communicate with Fury After much negotiation, they can use some of the information and technology that Fredo has mastered to establish a kangaroo branch of their own.

Time passed by, and half an hour later, Meira entered the town, and all the troops entered the town.

"Sorry Fredo our plan failed."

As soon as Meira saw Fredo standing in front of a three-story building, she spoke directly. The two humans were on the second floor. Fredo jumped over slowly with a cigar in his mouth. Meira signaled behind him. , the soldiers dispersed.

"I don't want to get involved in anything anymore."

Furuiduo said a word, and Meila started laughing.

"Give up such delusions, Fredo. I really hope you can join us. If you are willing to join, I can let you take command and we will all listen to you."

Cotesel on the side also nodded, and Fredo laughed.

"Sorry, I'm not interested in these things. Even if we establish a kangaroo branch of our own on this land, what can we do?"

"Fredo, please think about it carefully. We are no longer young. Today's legion has deteriorated. This is our opportunity. Fredo, I know that you have certain connections with many branches. If it is you If so, it’s okay.”

Fredo interrupted Meira.

"Stop talking about Meira. I have decided that I must go to the sea to find that human country."

Meira laughed, and so did Cotesel. Although both of them knew the rumors about Brilliant City, after they became upper-class kangaroos, what they knew about the outside world was that it was completely unsuitable for biological survival. World, I'm afraid that city has long since disappeared.

Fredo no longer intends to continue talking to them, because the purpose of the two guys is very obvious, they want to join the upper class of kangaroo society, which is where a very small number of kangaroos stand. All this is very important to Fredo. It's meaningless to say more.

"Fredo, please think carefully about what you can gain by chasing those illusory things. Your life should not be spent like this."

Fredo laughed.

"Okay then, can you coexist peacefully with humans after establishing a branch? Teach humans all knowledge. If you can do it, I can consider it."

Mela and Cotesel were stunned for a moment. The two kangaroos looked at Fredo in shock. The conditions proposed by Fredo were impossible to agree to. If they really did this, they would be openly resisting the challenge. The entire kangaroo society and other kangaroo branches will definitely attack these heretics like them.

Fredo turned around and said.

"It's a pity that I am such an outlier after all. I no longer plan to stay in this land. Let me give you a piece of advice. This world is not as simple as we think. I have seen the future and the past. I have seen the past. I used to be very confused and lost in such a society, but it’s different now.”

Meira and Cotesel watched Fredo enter the room, but felt helpless. Meira knew very well that no matter what, Fredo would not agree.

"Good luck Fredo."

"Good luck to you too."

After Fredo returned to the second floor, he could see that Jamie was very nervous, surrounded by kangaroos, Fredo said with a smile.

"It's okay Jamie, go to sleep, we will trigger it early tomorrow morning and continue our journey."
