Chapter 2272 A History of Blood and Tears

Duran strolled in Rick's Fortress and witnessed a group of Ricks performing various lives. He would talk to Rick and Morty and ask about their stories.

Everyone has his own story, so the same identity can also have different stories.

For example, there are different categories of so many Ricks. Some Ricks were brought to Rick's Fortress before the space gun was invented. These people are considered the first force of Rick's Fortress. After that, they no longer studied alone, but started to work for the fortress. All the work results belong to the fortress.

These people are considered natives, and then some Ricks joined one after another after starting their own adventures. These people love independence more and brought a lot of new technologies and concepts.

Rick and Morty did not have this configuration at the beginning, but it was a trend caused by the newly joined old Rick in recent times, because Morty can neutralize Rick's genius brain waves.

So even if they are in the same fortress, with the same face, their experiences are completely different. There are Ricks who joined the fortress at different times and in different batches. They formed the army, government, and various departments to maintain the operation of the fortress.

Talking to them, you can understand the various stages of the fortress: the young Rick period, the middle-aged Rick period, the old Rick period, and the Morty period.

It can be roughly divided into four periods, and the development of the fortress becomes clear. Rick, who joined the fortress when he was young, will tell Duran that they were looking for gaps in the multiverse and struggled from scratch. They found resources from the universe, obtained energy from the enemy, and developed technology themselves.

Middle-aged Rick will tell Duran that the fortress has a certain strength, but it still needs to continue to recruit more Ricks. So the middle-aged Rick is very active in the multiverse and strengthens the power of the fortress. At that time, anyone who saw Rick would be worried. The cumbersome rules and regulations of Rick's fortress were also established at that time. In order to maintain the leading position in technology, Rick began to strictly control the behavior of Ricks to ensure that they would not leak technology.

After the enterprising middle-aged period, the fortress also entered the old age. At that time, Morty had not joined yet, and the old fortress was already very conservative. Because there was no Morty to neutralize their brain waves, they would always encounter various pursuits and interceptions in the universe adventure. Old Rick really encountered a lot of troubles, because after so long, Rick's enemies have begun to develop many methods against Rick. The old Rick period is a defensive period, very passive, but it is precisely because of this that there is a glorious "Morty period" in the end.

The Morty period can be said to be a great glory after the passivity, and it can even be said to be more glorious than the middle-aged period. Every Rick is equipped with Morty. They have more powerful technology, more concealed disguise, and can release their talents without scruples. That really resounds throughout the multiverse, making everyone recall the memory of being dominated by middle-aged Rick. However, old Rick is more cunning and more vicious than middle-aged Rick. Under the cover of Morty, Rick is really taboo-free, making Rick Fortress a place that makes people shudder. However, prosperity must decline. Now it is the late stage of the Morty period, and the fortress has entered a period of decline. So the Morty period can be divided into the glorious pre-Morty period and the declining post-Morty period.

Duran can hear a long story by just pulling a Rick on the street.

Of course, if you chat with Morty, you can also hear a story of blood and tears. It is very dangerous for Morty to adventure with his grandfather. Because Morty is often treated as a consumable, Rick does not really regard Morty as his grandson, because the Morty assigned in the fortress may just be a clone produced by a machine.

So Morty is really in tears and blood in the fortress. Fortunately, the fortress has advanced technology, so as long as he is not dead, he can be rescued, so the surviving Morty is suffering in various ways.

Duran listened to Rick and Morty and asked them "Are you happy?" The answers were varied. Some people were satisfied with the life in the fortress, while others felt that the fortress was not as good as before. Rick even felt that the fortress was finished after Morty became the commander.

And Morty felt that the commander he chose was not good. It was clearly agreed to change Morty's status, but there was no change at all, and it was exactly the same as before. This made Morty very uncomfortable, because they were like slaves abducted and sold to Rick's fortress by Rick. They had no autonomy at all and could only be Rick's vassal. When taking risks, you have to take the bullets, and you have to make experimental materials at ordinary times. In the adventure, if Morty dies, it is not the worst result. If your Rick dies but Morty is still alive, that is really miserable.

There are many Morties and few Ricks, so Mortys have to compete for jobs, which is very tragic. There are only so many jobs, and unemployed Mortys have to survive through illegal means, living in a bad environment and extremely poor public security, becoming an unstable factor in the fortress.

Originally, after the evil Morty came to power, the unemployed Mortys hoped to change everything, but the situation did not improve at all. Because the evil Morty not only did not solve the employment problem, but also purged the unconvinced Ricks, further reducing the number of Ricks and causing more Mortys to lose their jobs.

So the fundamental problem is that Morty is a vassal of Rick, without autonomy, and no one cares about their demands. Rick is the main productive force of the fortress. Rick is in the fortress, so Rick must be dominant. Even if the evil Morty comes to power, this cannot be changed. Rick's interests cannot be ignored for the benefit of Morty.

It is really a society. Even the fortress composed of grandfather and grandson has all kinds of unfairness, prejudice and contradiction. A lot of problems cannot be solved here. Morty did not belong to the fortress, but was forced to come. In the end, he could only be a tool and got nothing. There was no unity among the Morty. The elite Morty represented by the evil Morty did not care about the future of Morty. Therefore, under the glory created by Rick, there are countless Morty corpses.

"Change, must be a big change." Duran stood on the street and shouted, and the surrounding Ricks and Mortys were attracted. They didn't know what Duran was going to say.

"Although you are old people and children, grandfathers and grandsons, geniuses and mortals, since you have brought Morty, you must be responsible, instead of just treating Morty as tools. Morty also has feelings and cannot be ignored."

This is so touching that many Mortys began to cry. I didn't expect Duran to consider them.

And some Ricks also began to reflect, because the fortress must not continue to be the same as before if it wants to survive. People with lofty ideals know that if they don't change, they will die. Change may still have a way out.

But there is still a stubborn Rick who said: "The fortress belongs to Rick. Rick built it, Rick developed it, Rick maintained it, and Morty did not contribute much." These are the diehards. They hope that Morty will continue to be a tool to maintain Rick's dominance.

The contradiction is not small. Duran thought that the same blood is like this. His road to equality for all is a long way to go, and he must continue to work hard.
