Chapter 20 Infiltrating Branch 99 Part 2(1/2)
"Where are you from?"
A cigar was handed over. Fredo looked at the slender cigar and sniffed it in front of his nose. The smell was very good. Many kangaroos came around. After all, Fredo's mecha looked very good.
Pretty good.
"I came here from Branch 33 and wanted to see an old friend."
Many little kangaroos gathered around Fredo's motorcycle excitedly. Some magnetic young kangaroos looked happily at Fredo, who was tall and strong and even though he was injured, he was extremely strong.
Freddo talked about some things, and many kangaroos were very happy. In kangaroo society, only some ordinary information can be shared and can be viewed on the Internet, but technology-related things are almost never shared.
Although the kangaroo society seems to be extremely information-based and developed, Fredo seems to have extremely limited information. This is a strategy used by the kangaroo upper class to stabilize their rule.
The mechanical technology of Branch 99 is quite backward. They only have better agricultural technology, but the most indispensable thing in kangaroo society is agricultural technology.
Fredo checked the data of humans in the past and found that their food consumption was quite astonishing. This seemed a bit incredible to Fredo. After all, kangaroos' food consumption was relatively low.
There are various shops in the city, and you can pick up the items in the shops yourself. Most of the food is made according to some foods from the past of human society.
According to the upper, middle and lower classes of kangaroos, the things that can be obtained in the store are different. All mechanical distribution is also based on the class of kangaroos. This kind of system is from top to bottom, and the system is strictly hierarchical.
Fredo once saw a similar society in human beings, but it failed. The reason for the failure was the issue of ability and the inability to achieve unity in the distribution of resources.
Human beings are not like kangaroos in that their needs are too simple. Human needs are extremely complex. To this day, Fredo still has no way to know what human beings need from those human book records.
After Freddo reviewed a large amount of information, he came to the conclusion that human needs are endless, and human beings are a race that never knows how to satisfy them.
In the fields not far away, a large number of human slaves were working. Fredo looked at the nearby granaries, which were filled with food. Some of the exposed food had even begun to become moldy. These moldy foods would be eaten by the kangaroos.
Make soil nutrient solution and use it to irrigate farmland.
The farm seems to be of medium size, with more than 500 human slaves, and about 800 kangaroos living here.
More and more kangaroos are approaching, because Fredo comes from a branch with advanced technology, and many kangaroos want to take a look and hear some news about other branches from Fredo.
Kangaroos are very enthusiastic, especially the low-level kangaroos. They are very hospitable. Fredo was immediately invited by the local manager to have dinner and chat with him.
Fredo agreed. Looking at the piles of food, Fredo asked.
"When will you deliver food into the city?"
"Probably the day after tomorrow."
Fredo was a little happy. He planned to enter the city with the team delivering food. This would be the least likely to arouse suspicion. Fredo told many kangaroos about the situations he had seen in some cities.
Fredo glanced back at the dilapidated human city in the distance behind him, and then at the 99 branch city not far from the farmland, and smiled helplessly.
11 a.m.
Jamie took a piece of cake and put it in his mouth. It only tasted salty and dry. This kind of food is specially made by kangaroos for humans. It is enough to eat a piece. It is cold and not as good as those made by Fredo.
The food is delicious.
Jamie misses the taste of meat. The meat is specially made by kangaroos for humans, but he can only eat it two or three times a week. However, after leaving the farmland, Jamie has not had a good meal of meat for a long time.
Although Ruido left all the food, there was not much meat left.
Imogen was wandering around casually on the street nearby. Several old people were nearby. Jamie looked at Jason and his group who were training for fighting not far away. He really wanted to go there.
"Go on, kid, we'll watch it for you."
Jamie ran over excitedly, picked up a weapon on the ground, and tied part of it with discarded cloth. It looked like a blade. He picked it up and made a few gestures, and Jason came over.
"Be careful, this thing is very sharp, it will be bad if you get cut."
Jamie also put it down obediently.
"What Fredo told us the most yesterday was that we must exercise more, because the kangaroos told us that our bodies are very fragile, and we can only do work such as tending the fields, and some heavy things.
It also relies on mechanical transportation.”
Jamie nodded. He heard the same thing from kangaroos when he was a child, so he was afraid of bumping. The same goes for other people. The kangaroos would remind them of this statement almost every few days, and most people believed it.
Until Jamie escaped, he bumped into it many times. Although it was painful, it was not as serious as the kangaroos said. Kangaroos often said that humans will die if they are not careful.
Kangaroos will deliberately use many things to mislead humans, and Jason did the same in the past. It wasn't until he came to the outside world that Jason realized that humans are not as fragile as the kangaroos said.
Jason took an iron rod and handed it to Jamie.
"Let's start with this. You have to practice it skillfully."
Jamie picked up the iron rod and started swinging it. This kind of exercise is difficult for many people because they need to overcome the deeply implanted idea in their memory that humans are weak and will die if they are not careful.
Most people just work in the farmland all year round. When the kangaroos ask them to work, it will never last more than an hour. Even in some places where there are not many slaves, many slaves do cleaning work.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Some people have begun to feel tired and put down their weapons to take a rest, and Fredo told them last night that there is something called
Muscles need constant and repeated exercise to strengthen. Only when a person's physical strength is strengthened can he be able to lift heavy objects and attack more powerfully.
At this moment, a conspicuous red flag was raised from the top of the building in the distance. Jason's face suddenly changed, and he immediately took out a rusty metal object around his neck and blew it. People on the field
Panicked, everyone started running quickly.
"What's going on?"
"There are kangaroo soldiers on patrol."
Jamie ran quickly to Imogen, carried her on his back without saying a word, and followed everyone to retreat into the building.
Soon Jamie entered the building, and most people entered the underground garage. Jason led a dozen people with bows and planned to go upstairs, but Jamie froze on the spot.
"I'll go with you."
Jamie handed Imogen to the others and picked up the iron rod. Soon a group of people came along the stairs to a place with a wide view, a semicircular hall, which looked very high from here.
, everyone is hiding behind some waste, there are small windows on the left and right sides, and the situation outside can be seen.
Jason and the others could only move on the ground before, because kangaroos often said in the past that humans cannot go to high places. Once they go up, they will become dizzy and it is easy to fall from high places and die.
So at first Jason and the others were afraid of these tall buildings, until someone asked, if it was true as the kangaroos said, why did humans build such tall buildings in the past? Finally, Jason went upstairs alone, and nothing happened.
, instead a sense of joy burst out from the bottom of my heart.
What he saw from the tall building was different from the past. He looked at Jamie beside him. He looked a little panicked. He looked at the ground from time to time, fear evident on his face.
"First time coming up?"
Jamie nodded and the others laughed.
"It turns out they lied to us."
Jamie felt a lot more relaxed. After escaping, many of them would not go to some human high-rise buildings, but would only stay underground, because this made them feel safe.
Soon with a roar, Jamie saw an aircraft carrying two kangaroo soldiers passing below them, and he seemed to understand something in his mind.
Recalling in their minds, they had witnessed people being caught by kangaroos several times, always from the ground. Kangaroos would also fly at low altitude to investigate. It turned out to be because humans did not dare to go to high places.
From the moment they were born, the idea that humans are weak and can easily die has accompanied all slaves as they grow up. Jamie still feels weak in his legs and feet.
This feeling of fear engraved in his mind was difficult to eliminate. Jamie was already sweating profusely. He was afraid of what would happen if the ground suddenly cracked and he would die if he fell. Looking at the streets below, he became so small that many cars were almost invisible.
.
Soon the two kangaroos in the aircraft returned and the crisis was resolved.
Jamie could no longer stand up. He was breathing rapidly and felt his heart beating violently. Jason on the side was waiting for him to stand up. Many people ran to the edge to overlook the street.
Seeing them chatting and laughing freely, Jamie's legs were still trembling.
"Take your time Jamie, I was like that at first."
The voices in his mind that warned Jamie not to go to high places rang in his ears. He felt that his vision became blurry. Jamie began to breathe heavily. Jason did not go to help him, and the same was true for everyone else.
of.
Everyone was once like Jamie, who did not dare to come to such a high-rise building. After coming here, most people understood that human civilization in the past was brilliant and not as unbearable as the kangaroos said.
You can stand on a high place and overlook everything.
After more than ten minutes, Jamie stood up. He was trembling slightly and walked over little by little. His hands and feet couldn't help trembling. Jason pointed to the distance and said.
"In the past, we humans could overlook everything instead of lying on the ground."
Jamie hummed, and moved little by little to the edge. His feet softened, and Jamie sat down. But at this moment, he felt extremely relaxed, and waves of numbness spread throughout his body, before his eyes.
Everything is extremely open.
Jamie has never seen such a view. Fredo also mentioned something before and asked Jamie to try to climb up the building to have a look, but Jamie never dared. Jamie looked at the left side under the gray sky.
