Chapter 648: Dignity and Courage 1 (middle)

"What's the matter? Hurry up."
Snapped
A tall red kangaroo yelled angrily, and the whip popped out of the multi-function bag on his back, slammed a tired human who was lying on all fours on the ground. He curled up in pain. On the ground, but the red kangaroo obviously didn't have the slightest pity, and continued to control the whip with his mind and beat the poor man.
Around them are kangaroos wearing different styles and colors of vests and wide pants. Many kangaroos are surrounded by humans carrying bags, and they wear collars that mark slaves on their necks.
The man was still being beaten. The man wearing only the thin crude cloth vest was already swollen and blood was flowing down the creaking nest. Some onlookers were smoking cigars, and the men and women were watching.
"Master Hogg, isn't the business done today? So angry."
At this time, a group of kangaroo patrols wearing mechanical vests with the word 77 printed on them came. The red kangaroos who were beating their slaves stopped beating, and the anger in their eyes seemed to gush out.
"This lifeless thing dare to make me ashamed at the banquet just now."
For a while, some kangaroos nearby laughed. The red kangaroo named Hogg wearing a high hat, small round glasses, and a pocket watch in his waistcoat pocket has jumped onto his slave and stepped on desperately. The man screamed in pain, and he could only lie on the ground and let the kangaroo on his back ravaged him. Soon the man vomited blood, and after struggling for a few seconds, he began to convulse, and he was out of breath within a few minutes.
"You help me clean up."
As Hogg said, he took out a banknote with a blue kangaroo printed on it from his small pocket, with a face value of 100 yuan. The captain of the kangaroo patrol immediately accepted it with joy, and greeted the receivers to pack it up.
Hogg looked into the alley on the left at this time. It was a red kangaroo with a scar on the corner of his eye. He was smoking a cigar against the wall. His gaze looked a little ill-intentioned, and he was followed by a thin and short human. The child slave, curled up in horror, didn't dare to look here.
"Master Hogg, do you want to go to the new slave house, there are good and obedient slaves."
Hogg nodded immediately. He stretched out his hand. There was a piece of thing on it that looked like a watch. Captain Kangaroo immediately raised his hand, and soon the message was passed directly. Hawke was happy to go to the newly opened slave house to look for new efforts. .
"What's wrong, Jamie!"
Fredo looked down at the shivering Jamie who was curled up on his right side, as if he was about to cry. Jamie couldn't stop shaking. He just came to the Kangaroo City of Branch 77 and witnessed such a cruel scene. It made Jamie, who was looking forward to it, as if he had been hit by the head.
"Continue to follow this guy, Jamie must remember clearly, don't look up, pretend to be a slave."
Jamie nodded his head. At this time, he became more and more scared. Imoqin had been bought by the butler of the red kangaroo named Hogg. After they entered, Fredo used dye to treat himself His gray fur was dyed red, which looks similar to the red kangaroo here.
Jamie, on the other hand, wore a collar that had not undergone signal authentication and identification. It looked no different from an ordinary slave. The entire city looked square, basically a steel structure building.
There are stores one after another, and the light of the city as a whole is bright white light. There are many novelties in the stores, including clothing, food, decorations, furniture and other daily necessities.
And most of these houses have no stairs to go up, only the platforms extending above the store, behind the entrance of the building, Jamie saw that the kangaroos jumped up directly, the distance of two or three meters is for the kangaroos It's not a problem, and on the side of the high-rise building, there is a machine that can be connected to the multifunctional backpack carried by the kangaroos. After the kangaroos pass by, sit directly on the machine, and they can directly select the floor to rise and be lifted by the machine. Go up.
Most of the things have never been seen by Jamie. There are only vague images of the city in the impression, but Jamie can’t remember it. It should be the scene of himself and his biological parents in the slave shop. They are in the slave shop every day. In the showcase, quietly waiting for the buyer to come.
"Jamie, it's okay, go to sleep!"
There was a picture of a woman holding herself in her mind, but she could only see the woman smiling softly and couldn't see her cheeks clearly. Jamie remembered this picture countless times. It should be her mother, but she always connected with her. I can't remember what it looks like.
The only thing I remember was the first day when he went to work on a farm outside the city. It was also the day when he saw Yimoqin. She always cried, especially at night when she would find her mother. Jamie always went there and thought about it. I want to comfort, but I don't know how to do it, so I can only watch it blankly.
"Relax, Jamie!"
Fredo’s voice brought Jamie back to reality, the noisy mechanical sounds on the street sounded in his ears, and the various kinds of kangaroos sounded a little weird, mixed with a mechanical tone, which made Jamie feel Very uncomfortable.
From time to time, Jamie would look at the human slaves who helped the kangaroos carry things. They looked gloomy and couldn't find the slightest brilliance from them. They just lowered their heads and walked silently, as if they had no thoughts. , The slaves in the city looked much more deadly than the slaves who worked on the fringe farms.
In the air, you can see a series of connected translucent channels, and in these channels you can see kangaroos sitting in the moving machinery talking and laughing from time to time.
Occasionally some aircraft can be seen passing by, but most of them are taken by members of the Kangaroo Guard. Fredo can see that Jamie is very nervous, and he is about to be overwhelmed by the uncomfortable atmosphere around him. His feet had slowed down, but Hogg in front of him was walking fast, and Fredo could only pat Jamie on the shoulder.
"Move quickly, or you'll be lost."
Jamie hurriedly speeded up his pace, but the stone pavement under his feet had already made Jamie's feet hurt. Most of the slaves were wearing no shoes, so Jamie could only take off his worn-out shoes when he came in.
Finally Hogg stopped and stopped at the door of a slave shop that was making a big bargain. In a large row of glass display cabinets, men and women wearing collars were huddled together, there were children, Jie Mi kept her head down, not daring to watch this cruel scene for herself.
There are a lot of kangaroos watching inside and outside the shop, and when they see the right one, the boss will bring it out, and then it seems like checking the items, and checking at will, Fredo will look at a nearby food shop at will. Kangaroo cake, but the taste is really ordinary. Fredo doesn't like to eat this kind of tasteless food, he prefers human food.
Fredo observed Hogg’s every move. He had obtained the information from Meira. He was a local rich man who owned many shops and owned a building of his own. People sought after, the female kangaroos kept leaning over, hoping to be invited by Hogg, while the male kangaroos were flattering.
Everything in front of him looks extremely disgusting in Fredo. Learning to build up all the human society in the past is the biggest failure of the kangaroo tribe. Fredo once lived in a relatively primitive kangaroo tribe for a period of time, such a simple primitive society Here, there is no intrigue, no deception, no distinction between up and down, life is very relaxed and comfortable, and very free, but today's kangaroos have been completely restrained by the shackles they made, and all the evil in humans The part has been absorbed.
Watching Hogg arrogantly selecting slaves, one by one slaves was pulled out, Hogg looked at it casually, Jamie next to him was a little tired, but at this moment his eyes were on the cake, and Fredo walked over. , Bought a piece of cake, then took a few bites for himself, and threw the rest of the cake on the ground.
Jamie leaned down and started to eat. Fredo sighed and lit a cigar. It seemed that Jamie's body had fully adapted to the state of such a slave, without even the slightest hesitation, of course. The practice is completely okay now, because most of the slaves in the street did it.
Soon Hogg selected two young and strong men and women.
"Master Hogg, I will complete all the procedures for the slave later in the evening, and then send it to your house."
Hogg hummed, took out 500 yuan, and handed it over. The boss immediately thanked Dade for watching Hogg leave. Fredo casually followed, but he noticed now, Hogg had already noticed. I am following him. This red kangaroo looks very cunning. After all, he is a successful businessman in the local area.
Fredo’s idea is very simple. Just buy the Imoqin directly with him, and then find a place to live and wait for the news from Mela. After all, he got into this trouble. For Fredo, it has been completely broken. The original plan.
Jamie never dared to look up. After eating, he squatted on the ground and looked at the slaves in the slave shop from time to time. At this moment, Jamie noticed a woman staring at him and then smirked at him. Jamie didn't know. What she was going to do, and at this moment, Jamie saw blood coming from the corner of the woman's mouth, and then the blood was getting more and more, and the kangaroos in the slave house also noticed and rushed in. Jamie looked in astonishment. With.
"Leave Jamie!"
Jamie hummed, then glanced at the dying woman on the ground that was taken out of the showcase by the kangaroos. When he turned his head, his hands and legs trembled.
"If it were me... if only I could use a weapon."
Fredo let out a breath of smoke.
"Still can't understand, I told you before."
Jamie didn't answer, but just followed Fredo.
At this moment Hogg in front of him sank into an alley, and as soon as Fredo walked over, he saw Hawk with his back leaning against the wall.
"You have been with me for a long time, sir, how do you call it?"
Fredo laughed.
"My name is Fredo."
Hogg stared sharply at Fredo, then at the trembling little slave.
"Problems?"
"Master Hogg, I want to negotiate a deal with you."
Hogg raised his hand and adjusted his single-sided glasses.
"Tell me."
"Yesterday your housekeeper should have bought a little human girl slave. I want to buy it."
Hoge laughed haha.
"Why? If you don't tell the truth, you can't talk about it."
"It's such a master Hogg, I came from the 79th branch."
While speaking, Fredo raised his arm, and on the crystal panel above, a badge of Division 79 appeared. Hogg recognized it immediately and was a little surprised.
"Then your Excellency Chief Frederick, why would you come to me so far to buy such a humble little slave?"
"For a certain research, because the specific things are the secrets of the military department, I hope Master Hogg can sell this little slave to me. I am willing to pay 5 times the price."
Hogg smiled and took out a box of cigars and handed one to Fredo.
"It sounds like a good deal, but I don't sell it."
Talking about Hogg, he turned around, looking like he was going to leave, but the next second he realized the little male slave beside Fredo looked a little angry.
"Take care of your slave, Lord Fredo."
Fredo kicked Jamie immediately, and he quickly lowered his head.
"How about selling me a favor, Master Hogg?"
"I just said that if you want to do business with me, you have to tell the truth, but Sir Fredo, you are not willing to tell the truth. Naturally, this transaction is not valid."
Fredo grinned slightly, then lit his cigar.
"We detected something strange on this slave. The specific reason cannot be said."
Hogg hesitated at this time. He did listen to the housekeeper yesterday that this slave was sent to the slave house owner at a low price from the legion of the 77 branch. At first Hogg thought it might be a human wandering in the wild. , But now listening to Furiduo say this, I feel something is wrong.
"That's it, how about going to my house and discussing it in detail, Sir Fredo."
Fredo nodded, and then followed Jamie with him.
In a short while, a mansion with a large area covered by white light appeared in front of him. The metal fence was a flat lawn. Many human slaves were busy living. The main mansion was a house. There are flat and oblique white houses in the middle, and on both sides there are cloisters full of vines. You can see female kangaroos in delicate dress.
Soon some kangaroos quickly jumped over and opened the door of the mansion. One of the red kangaroos, who looked older, approached immediately.
"Master, welcome you back, who is this?"
"The guests I just met, bring some meals and drinks out."
As soon as Jamie followed, a red kangaroo came over and violently grabbed him. Jamie was panicked for a while.
"This is a valuable item on my side, please take care of it."
"This is a natural guest, please rest assured."
As the housekeeper Kangaroo said, Jamie was dragged away by this strong kangaroo. He didn't know why he couldn't follow Fredo. Soon Jamie was taken to a row of houses on the right side of the mansion. , Jamie saw human slaves resting in every room, and then he was taken to a separate small room and thrown in.
boom
The door of the room was closed. Jamie looked at some of the cushions randomly placed around, a stinking smell came out, Jamie could only stand at the window and looked around, hoping to find it soon Yimoqin.
I just watched a big circle and couldn't find Yimoqin. At this time, Jamie tilted his head, hoping to talk to the human in the house next to him.
"You should have come here yesterday with a slave about my age called Yimoqin. Have any of you seen her?"
There were fragments of sound, Jamie listened hard, but no one had seen Yimoqin.
At this moment, on the outside of Hogg’s house, on a high-rise building diagonally opposite, Mela stared quietly at the situation below. Cortesl was on the side. He looked at Mela with a little annoyance, and then he turned around. Turning around, behind him stood a red kangaroo that was a bit shorter than the two, with a smile in his eyes, wearing a casual white vest.
"Is it necessary to do this? He has only one man and a general."
"Cottesle, if you have seen Fredo's fight, you will know what happened. The 31st branch was completely destroyed two years ago and it was caused by that guy."
Meira turned around solemnly.
"General, will he really believe us?"
"Meila, as long as he steps into this, our plan will have half the possibility of success. What about the human girl?"
Mei Ramen said with difficulty.
"There is still a breath, but very weak."
"That's good, there is still a little use value, you two are responsible for this matter, you only need to get a place from the mouth of the Fredo guy."
The kangaroo behind the talking room turned around and walked away. After leaving the room, the two of them relaxed slightly.
"I really can't stand what the general does."
As Cottesle said, Mela shook her head.
"If this is not the case, it won't work. Fredo has completely changed. It is a world away from the Fredo we knew in the past. There is no way. If he is willing to join us, it will be another matter. But do you think it is possible?"
boom
Kottsell suddenly kicked the table to the side, and the table fell apart, making him very angry.
"The whole army uses this kind of indiscriminate means to deal with a guy. I think this is a shame for being a soldier."
"shame?"
Mela stared at Cortesl with cold eyes.
"Think about it, let your head be clear. We have to get the secret of the great Fredo guy. You have seen that power. You can easily destroy the mainframe with a small mecha. A, this kind of power has its roots. Although there have been rumors in the past, a certain scientist in the grey kangaroo has technology that surpasses the technology held by kangaroos today. This rumor began more than ten years ago. , The five kangaroo regiments have all investigated, but there is no result. Isn't Fredo the result of such rumours now?"
Meila said with a smile, and Cortesl turned around with dim eyes.
"I'll go back and sleep for a while."
Mela looked at Cortesl with bored eyes.
"Don't mess it up, Cortesl, the general's plan must be successful."
.........
Fredo was smoking a cigar quietly, and there were some fruits in front of him. They all looked fresh, but Hogg hadn't come over yet, leaving only the butler waiting.
"Your Excellency Fredo, you have to take care of some housework, please take a moment."
Freedor nodded. At this moment, he was still thinking about how to buy Imoqin from this cunning merchant. Only if I ensured the safety of Imoqin, then Fredo can complete it with Meila and the others. According to the plan, he only needs to kill General Krum, and the two guys will find a way to solve the rest.
It's just that at this time Fredo vaguely felt something was wrong. After all, it was too smooth. The identity of the commander of the 79 branch was also surprised by Fredo.
It is true that as long as you have this status, you can travel freely in any red kangaroo branch city. Meira also said that it is the help of a high-level person who has a good relationship with them.
Fredo is still thinking about some things carefully. On weekdays, he always thinks like he is now, because in many cases, just paying attention to some small details may change the outcome of things, and even success or failure.
"Sorry, Sir Fredo, I have kept you waiting."
Hogg changed into loose clothes and walked out. After sitting down, Fredo said with a grin.
"Master Hogg, I just hope you can help me with this matter. I heard that there is also a machine manufacturing factory under Hogg."
Hoge laughed haha.
"Indeed, I have a mechanical manufacturing plant under my hand, Sir Fredo, you mean, I helped you, you can help me too, right?"
Fredo nodded immediately and Hogg laughed.
"Please forgive me for being presumptuous. Although it's a bit straightforward, our businessmen are greedy for profit. I have to see if we can cooperate with you."
Fredo breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that the businessman had taken the bait, and then Fredo took out a list, and Hogg looked at it with interest.
"Not bad, as if it was tailored for me."
From the very beginning, Fredo got a lot of information about Hogg from Meira.
"Can I see that little slave now?"
Hogg immediately got up and said.
"Not for the time being, Sir Fredo, that little slave has not been sent here yet. I don’t know why. I’ll live here tonight. Sir Fredo, I will hold a talk for you. For the dinner."
Fredo hesitated for a while and then nodded in agreement, but at this time Fredo began to have doubts in his heart. He clearly felt that Hogg was lying, but for a moment, Fredo couldn't understand why he was lying.
