Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

A flash of fire lit up in the darkness, and Fredo lit a cigar. Next to him, Jamie was curled up in some rags and resting. Fredo had checked his body and was slowly recovering.

Although Fredo told Jamie that there was a way to rescue Imogen, he only said this to appease Jamie. Now it is almost impossible to go back and rescue Imogen again.

Fredo is very confused whether to leave directly or stay, because if he continues to get involved, the situation will become more and more dangerous. Other branches should also receive the news from this side. Fredo wants to go around To go to the northern coast, you need to pass through many branches along the way. If Fredo is directly on the wanted list, it will become difficult for him to move in the future.

During these years of wandering, Fredo gradually eliminated his wanted status. In these years, Fredo ran around in order to leave this land and go to the unknown world to find the Brilliant City.

Fredo has collected enough resources, and he only needs to finally go to the southwest coast, the 99th branch city, and get a very mature food technology.

This technology does not make any sense to the current Kangaroo Group, so this technology is only available in Branch 99, and no one cares about it. The kangaroos in Branch 99 have created an easy-to-carry food that only requires one pill a day. Adding a little water can ensure the body's energy needs 24 hours a day.

Fredo didn't know how long it would take to find the Brilliant City, but based on past human data, this world was definitely extremely vast. Fredo planned to give himself a year. If he couldn't find it, he would have no choice but to return.

The outside world is far worse than Fredo imagined. Fredo has tried to go out and almost died several times.

"Maybe it's because of loneliness."

Fredo now realized why he suddenly saved these two children and then immediately decided to take them with him. Such a whim created the current situation.

It was already 10 o'clock in the evening, and the search by the 77th branch army ended an hour ago. Kangaroos are not too obsessed with one thing for too long, so this is why human slaves can easily avoid the kangaroos once they escape. The reason for the pursuit.

Because the kangaroos simply don't have that much patience, as long as they are not discovered by the kangaroo patrol team, the humans around the kangaroo base city can survive by going to the farmland to get some crops.

The management of farmland by kangaroos is also loose. Most kangaroos rarely take things seriously. Unless the superiors give them orders, kangaroos are very free and undisciplined in private.

This is why Fredo was able to cause riots with his human comrades many times in the past. They were relatively weak at the time.

But they can rely on the laxity of kangaroos to create some very big commotions again and again, and kangaroos have no special meaning to death. In the kangaroos' perception, death is just because of weakness. .

Although kangaroos now possess very high intelligence, their social logic is very simple. But just because the kangaroos follow such a simple logic of obeying the above, the entire kangaroo society will have highly developed technology.

Fredo has learned about part of human history. Human history is too complicated compared to kangaroos, and humans often fight for their own benefit. Fredo has seen this countless times.

Many human slaves will fight over a little bit of food. At this time, the kangaroos will cheer for them until they stop fighting and decide the winner.

The reason why Fredo hasn't left yet is just because he sees in Jamie some of the brilliance that occasionally appears in many humans he has encountered in the past.

What Fredo thinks about most now is that Jamie actually let him take Imogen away without betraying him. Otherwise, as long as the restraint net is opened, Fredo will be in considerable trouble even though he can handle it. .

"are you awake?"

Fredo asked, and Jamie sat up. Fredo picked up a machine and placed it on the broken wall on one side. The light lit up. Fredo handed over some food. Jamie finished eating. Then I drank some water.

"What can you do?"

Jamie asked and Fredo smiled.

"First of all, you have to answer me a question. Why didn't you betray me? And you also asked me to take Imogen away?"

Jamie looked at Fredo in confusion and asked.

"Any questions?"

Fredo was a little emotional. He didn't expect Jamie to answer like this. At this moment, Fredo made up his mind. Soon Fredo summoned the mecha hidden nearby, and the mecha turned into a motorcycle. He took out a square metal object.

"This is what they want, and I can trade it for Imogen."

This is the most effective plan that Fredo has thought of so far. If it is forced, it will cause big problems, and Fredo cannot guarantee that he can successfully rescue Imogen.

"You hide here, trust me, I will bring Imogen back, don't come out."

Fredo rode on the mecha motorcycle and approached the 77 branch city directly. Soon Fredo sent a radio wave, and then stopped. It was only about 200 meters away from where Jamie was.

Sure enough, after a while, a lot of light appeared in the darkness on the horizon. Fredo leaned on the motorcycle mecha. Soon, with more and more falling aircraft, Fredo was surrounded.

"What do you want Freddo?"

Meira walked up to Fredo.

"Bring that girl here and I'll trade it with you for whatever you want."

Meira stared at Fredo suspiciously. She didn't believe it but looked around alertly.

"Don't worry, I was alone a long time ago. Bring the girl and give us some medical supplies including food and water, and I will give you what you want."

Meira looked at Fredo in shock.

"Are you serious?"

Fredo took off his sunglasses and grinned quickly.

"How do you know I'm not serious?"

Mira still couldn't believe that Fredo would hand over the things so easily.

"It's completely different from your previous behavior."

Fredo hummed.

"The past is the past and the present is now. I just want to get out of this trouble as soon as possible."

Meira nodded. After seeing the look in Fredo's eyes, she believed it. Immediately, Meira ordered people to bring Imogen and everything they needed according to Fredo's request.

Fredo put on his sunglasses, then took out a cigar and lit it. Only then did Mira come closer.

"Don't you think what you are pursuing is meaningless?"

"Maybe Meira, I've often thought about this question over the years, but if I don't pursue it, I won't have a chance to prove it, right?"

Meira didn't answer. She only knew that Fredo had completely changed. This kind of change was not necessary for the kangaroos. To have feelings for someone from another ethnic group was a bit strange in Meira's opinion. Ethereal.

"Even if you save two humans, nothing will change, Fredo, come back."

Mira made a move, but Fredo refused.

"I just want to stand where I want to stand now. I will leave this land soon."

Meera laughed.

"You can't survive in the outside world. We should have known this early in school."

"If you don't give it a try, how will you know you can't survive?"

Fredo laughed.

After a while, an aircraft came over. Fredo saw Imogen lying on it, still motionless, and he asked slightly angrily.

"Why take everything away from her?"

Mira laughed disapprovingly.

"Is there a problem?"

Fredo said nothing, and the two kangaroos carried Imogen over. After Fredo inspected it for a while, they started to move a lot of supplies over, and Fredo took out the block machine in his hand. .

"Goodbye Freddo."

As Meira said, Fredo hummed. Soon Meira showed a satisfied smile, and the other kangaroos also began to leave.

"These meaningless things, even if you really do something, can't change anything, Fredo. Human beings can no longer have anything. You should understand this clearly. You may have heard some human beings in the past issues of collective unrest, but humanity has lost everything in the past few years.”

Fredo looked at where Jamie was hiding, then at Imogen, he raised two fingers and said.

"Courage and dignity, what I saw in these two children, are probably beyond our comprehension, or perhaps these things are not in our kangaroo genes."

Meira smiled and jumped onto the aircraft.

"I don't reject your choice Fredo, but at the same time I don't like your choice either. Goodbye."

Fredo hummed and looked at the kangaroos from Kangaroo Branch 77 leaving. Fredo drove a motorcycle filled with supplies to where Jamie was hiding. Jamie ran over excitedly.

"Imogen!"

"She is important to you, right."

Jamie nodded excitedly, looked at the safe and sound Imogen, and started crying.

"Thank you Fredo, thank you."

"By the way Jamie, I said I would take Imogen with me, but now she may need someone to take care of her. If she is really so important to you, just follow me and just take care of her along the way. ."

Jamie nodded. This time, she sat next to Imogen and wrapped the two of them in blankets. The cold feeling made Jamie a little nervous. He hugged Imogen and planned to use his own body temperature to warm Imogen.

Fredo laughed and drove his motorcycle toward the wilderness to the northwest. He planned to drive until dawn and then rest, staying as far away from the 77th branch as possible.

Fredo looked at the two people around him and slowed down the car. He was happy now. The technical module just now was very important to Fredo. It was obtained by a former kangaroo friend who worked hard to get it. But now Fredo uses it in exchange for a human girl who is insignificant to many kangaroos.

"Maybe she'll be happy too."

After a while, Jamie fell asleep next to him. Fredo continued to move forward. He felt that Jamie was really special. This was the first time that Fredo saw Jamie like this after meeting countless humans. Although he Very timid, but in an instant he was able to burst out with power that even Fredo felt unexpected.

This kind of power is not physical, but spiritual. At that moment, Fredo made the decision to take Jamie away first. Although he was injured, he escaped smoothly.

In the process of escaping, Fredo thought about how to rescue Imogen, but Fredo was hesitant at that time, but after successfully escaping, Fredo knew very well that such a deal was completely impossible. questionable.

Kangaroos all admire the strong, and Fredo has shown great strength three times. Only then can Fredo and the kangaroos of Branch 77 make such a deal.

Although bringing the two of them will require more preparation, Fredo has now thought very clearly about what he is looking for, because he has seen what he has been looking for for so many years and has the courage to move forward. , live with dignity.

Many confusing things in the past became completely clear today. Seeing the sky begin to turn white, Fredo looked at a dilapidated small city not far away and drove his car and motorcycle there.

But as soon as he drove onto the street, Fredo felt a lot of sights around him. They should be humans escaping from some nearby farmland.

Jamie also woke up at this time, he stood up in confusion, and after a chill, he shrank back again.

"How's Freddo?"

Seeing Fredo's alert look, Fredo got off the motorcycle.

"If you want something to eat and drink, you can come here. There's a lot of food here."

Fredo raised his hands and said, but still no one dared to come down. Jamie came out of the blanket and realized that there was someone nearby.

"Don't be afraid, Fredo has no hostility towards humans. He is my friend."

Fredo took out some food and planned to cook it directly. After a while, along with the aroma, someone finally couldn't help it. Many people seemed to have been hungry for several days, including many old people and women.

After a while, dozens of people gathered around. Fredo made pancakes for them. Everyone was waiting to receive them. An old man looked at Imogen and sighed.

"This girl may not wake up."

Jamie immediately retorted.

"She'll wake up in a few days."

The old man pointed at the fine scars on both sides of Imogen's forehead.

"I've seen a lot of people like this."

Jamie was a little confused, when Fredo came over and handed the old man a pancake.

"Don't worry about Jamie, you just have to take care of her and one day she will wake up."
