Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

Fredo was very fortunate that when he was most frustrated, he met Dave, an outlier in the dwarf kangaroo society. He came from an upper-class family, so he was born with a lot of resources, whether it was knowledge or material.

Fredo was able to access higher-level knowledge through Dave, and the depression in his heart was gone. The two of them talked about the situation of the entire society and things happening in the major branch cities every day.

"What kind of Fredo do you think this society should be like?"

Dave asked and Fredo smiled.

"It's not that there can't be no classes, but the upper, middle and lower classes should enjoy the greatest degree of intellectual rights and the right to know. In the long run, the entire society will become more and more isolated. One day, when productivity problems arise, resource rationing will If there is no balance, I think society will collapse."

Dave nodded. He pointed at some information on the crystal screen. It was the latest harvest. It didn't look any different. Dave laughed.

"Do you think there's a problem with this output?"

Fredo took a quick look. He had already seen this news a few days ago, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong with it. Dave pointed to some agricultural indices on it.

"If you calculate it according to the method you know, there is indeed no problem, but the problem is that the base number cannot be that large, and there is a very large deviation, so this conclusion is wrong, because recently your army has used some raw materials and ours In exchange for a large amount of food, I know the published data is false."

Fredo nodded. Only Dave, a dwarf kangaroo from the top, knew about this kind of thing.

"Have you figured out what to do, Fredo?"

“To unite everyone, it’s not enough for us alone.”

Dave nodded. Now they really need to find some like-minded kangaroos to join forces. Fredo plans to first find some friends with whom he has good relationships in the past.

After the two people discussed it, they started their own actions. Dave planned to find a stronghold, while Fredo needed to win over some friends.

It was very unsatisfactory at first. Fredo went around visiting some friends, including friends in the army, but many kangaroos couldn't understand Fredo's thoughts.

Because Fredo's ideas seem alien to many kangaroos, it is not allowed in kangaroo society to resist the orders of the superiors.

Fredo found a lot of kangaroos and talked with them about some things, hoping that they would join, but no kangaroos joined because they felt that there were not big problems in today's society, and what the truth is is important to everyone. For some kangaroos, it doesn't matter.

A month later, Dave found a stronghold. He took Fredo there, an underground stronghold in the branch city jointly built by the Pygmy Kangaroo and the Western Gray Kangaroo Legion.

Dave obtained this underground research room through his research certificate, and he brought Fredo to this underground research room. The spacious and vast area made Fredo feel very good, but it was a pity that under the light, only Dai Dai The figure of husband and Fredo.

"Failed Fredo?"

Fredo hummed. Because of Dave's special status, Fredo suggested that Dave not be exposed. Dave agreed. He was only responsible for supporting behind the scenes.

"How about trying a different class?"

Dave suggested, and Fredo nodded. There was nothing he could do now, because he had searched many kangaroos he knew in the middle management, and none of them wanted to get involved in such a thing.

"Only when you feel the oppression personally can you develop a mentality of resistance. Obviously, it will take a long time for the middle-level kangaroos to feel the oppression. It will take a long time."

Dave said and Fredo nodded, that's all he can think of now.

It was too difficult to find like-minded people, so Fredo could only give it a try. One day he went to a farm in a branch city. The farm was not big, but the situation on the farm was not good.

When asked why, he found out that the farmer had to hand over 90% of the food produced. He was already very anxious. Even the kangaroos on their farm didn't have enough to eat, let alone the slaves who had to work every day.

"Why do you want so much? Wasn't it always 50% before? Why is it 40% more? It's too outrageous."

Fredo remembered the grain production report that Dave said was problematic a month ago. He now understood why there was a problem. The base problem Dave mentioned was that there was no farmland base for the entire Western Gray Kangaroo Corps. It is so huge, so it is impossible to produce so much food.

Now Fredo knows it, and the higher-ups directly ask them to pay grain. According to this farmer, it was only 10% at the beginning, but gradually increased to 90%. This is a disaster for most farmers. , although many farmers united and protested, the result of the protest was that the farms were confiscated and given to other kangaroos, while the original farmers had everything canceled and sent to live in some branch cities. .

Hearing this, Fredo probably knew what was going on, because now the Western Gray Kangaroo Corps is vigorously developing technology and increasing the number of kangaroos. The original number of kangaroos has skyrocketed in the past few years, so it could have supplied The farmland of the Western Gray Kangaroo Corps is no longer able to support the growing number of kangaroos.

Fredo is keenly aware that the Western Gray Kangaroo Army wants to expand its army. No wonder there have been calls over the past month, asking Fredo to write a letter of guarantee and sincerely admit his mistake and let him return to the army. But Fredo Too many rejections.

Later, the local government even said that Fredo should go back first and there was no need to write a guarantee letter, but Fredo still had no intention of going back.

"How did you go about protesting?"

Fredo continued to ask, and the farmer was very helpless. They had tried methods such as reducing production and making human slaves not work, but the kangaroos above did not care about their life and death, and stipulated that they must pay normal farmland payments. 90% of the food produced will even be taken away if enough is not produced.

The food stocks of many farmers have almost bottomed out. Many farmers nearby are no longer able to survive. The kangaroos on the farm can only immerse themselves in planting with humans. Soon, at the end of the month, the food collection will begin. The upper kangaroos are coming again.

"Have you never thought about resisting? Something more intense?"

Fredo asked again, but soon the farmer and other kangaroos all shrugged their heads. Fredo looked at some crops that were about to be harvested not far away, and then smiled and patted the farmer on the shoulder.

"How about I find a way for you?"

"any solution?"

Fredo's idea is very simple. Since they want all the food, give it to them directly, and then take part of the ration to other branch cities that are not so ruthless in collecting food.

"Then if we do this, won't we starve to death?"

Fredo laughed and spoke immediately.

"It was all the farmers who left together."

Fredo's words shocked most of the kangaroos present. They had never thought of such a method. Soon the farmers near the branch city gathered after receiving the news. Fredo was serious. Tell these farmers about the current situation of kangaroo society and how they work desperately in the fields, but now they can't even eat.

Many kangaroos seemed a little angry. The plan proposed by Fredo was supported by all the kangaroos, and Fredo also planned to stay here. He planned to talk to these kangaroos about the current situation and let them understand something more clearly. thing.

Fredo would discuss some things with these kangaroos in various farms every day, and would also work with them, including talking to some humans about some things. Although the farm owner felt a little strange, he didn't say anything.

When the day of grain collection arrived, the farmers made preparations. They prepared the grain that needed to be paid early in the morning, as well as enough rations for themselves along the way. They would go to their friends, and many of their friends heard about their experiences. I will be happy to receive them later.

Fredo is on one of the largest farms. The grain collectors came over in an aircraft. They only came with a dozen kangaroos, because the farmers usually load the grain into the aircraft themselves for the food collection work. Went to the warehouse.

"Where are you going?"

"We are leaving. There is enough food for this month. You can just get it yourself."

The collector was a little confused, but his eyes soon changed, and he immediately grabbed the farmer.

"You are not allowed to leave."

At this time Fredo ran over.

"There's no legal requirement for the kangaroos to leave."

Although some kangaroo soldiers wanted to stop it, they gave up in the end. There are clear laws in the kangaroo society. The kangaroos are free. They can choose to live anywhere. If they don’t want to continue in the farmland, they can go to the city. Here or other places, as long as it is within the scope of the legion.

"Who are you?"

"Fredo."

The entire branch city began to become chaotic. Kangaroo soldiers kept coming out in aircraft. All the farmers who were about to leave soon were stopped. After a while, the branch general came to the farm in person.

"Why did you leave without permission? Your mission is to manage the farmland well."

"We have been hungry for a long time. All the food has been taken away. If this continues, we will really starve to death, so we have to leave."

The general stared at Fredo. He knew that this guy was the culprit because he had intelligence that he had been in the nearby farmland for many days.

"We can charge less this time."

"No, we'll charge less this time and the same next time, so we'll never have enough to eat."

Fredo has long told the farmers what measures the military will take. As long as they don't give in, they will be able to force the grain collection to return to its original state.

Fredo said nothing the whole time, because he knew very well that the people in the military were already hostile to him.

"We can discuss it slowly."

"No, we have to leave."

Seeing that he could no longer stop him, the general spoke.

"What are your conditions?"

"Adjust the grain collection back to the original 50%."

Although the general was angry, he knew very well that if these kangaroos who farmed the land left, the entire branch city would definitely collapse, because there would simply not be so many kangaroos to manage farmland in a short period of time.

Finally the general agreed, and soon all the farmers cheered. Fredo grinned happily and took out a cigar, but was surrounded by several kangaroo soldiers, who began to use their hands and feet to provoke him. Fredo did not tolerate them, and easily beat all the provocative kangaroos to the ground in front of everyone.

"General, you saw it too, they were the ones who provoked me first."

Although the general was angry at this time, he knew very well that it was his soldiers who provoked Fredo first, so he did not reprimand him on the spot but took Fredo to a place with fewer people.

"Enough trouble has happened without Fredo. Teacher Niegra is very optimistic about you. Why would you do such a thing?"

Fredo lit a cigar and laughed.

"So why did you make such a decision? They have been unable to survive in the past few months, and some kangaroos have even become sick from hunger."

The general sighed helplessly.

"There's nothing we can do about this, Fredo. We can only do this. If we don't collect it vigorously, we won't be able to keep up with the increase in the number of our tribe."

Fredo did not continue to discuss the right and wrong issues with the general, because he knew very well that these upper-level kangaroos did not care about the life and death of the lower-level kangaroos.

"Stop messing around Freddo."

Fredo is happy at this moment, because he has seen something. If he wants to resist, he must gather everyone's strength so that he can stand firm. This time the resistance was very successful.

Fredo rode his motorcycle and returned to Dave's secret base.

"It went very well. I've seen the news."

Fredo nodded happily.

"It went really well. I didn't expect them to agree to do it."

"Of course. After all, they have been oppressed for a long time. They naturally know what it feels like to be oppressed. As long as there is a reasonable passage, they can gather together and enter. Congratulations to Fredo. I can't go with you. ."

Fredo shook his head. Although he was happy in his heart, he was somewhat disappointed because there were still only two of them.

"The future will be better, Fredo, I believe in you."

Seeing Fredo's helplessness, Dave comforted him, and Fredo laughed.

"Of course Dave, I will do better and better. I have communicated with many humans. In fact, they are not as fragile as we think. I think that by uniting all the people or kangaroos who can unite, we can It will definitely succeed.”

Through this incident, Fredo saw some direction, and he finally felt at ease. After all, being able to find the meaning of continuing to survive was very important to Fredo.
