The rumbling propeller agitated the air, and a light transport plane with obvious patches landed slowly from the air, stopping only after running for more than 100 meters on the rough ground.
Wait for the blades to stop, the plane ’s doors opened, and from inside jumped a few strong men wearing warm leather jackets and holding machine guns. The leading man spit on the ground, and Ha Ha Ha smiled a few times on his unshaven face. "This broken plane is pretty good."
After the light transport plane stopped, dozens of people immediately gathered on both sides of the rough runway and shouted, ‘what did you bring this time? Are there medicines? ‘‘ We want some fresh vegetables and meat ’’ ‘women either? I have a few beautiful girls in their tens here who are absolutely good. ’
In the clamor, the leading man shot the muzzle up into the air and scolded: "Give me peace."
The gunshots sounded, but the crowd did not fear much. Instead, an old man of more than fifty came out and laughed with open arms: "Walker, can't you come early, you little rabbit? Do you know us? Waiting for you for three days? "
"Old guy, you are content. The freighter of 'Aurora Legion' only comes once every half a month, and each time it comes to more than 10,000 tons of goods, there are at least two million people waiting for distribution. Do you know that you might even die if you want to grab the supply. "
The leader known as Walker complained several times, and said, "If I hadn't been lucky enough to buy this transport plane, you would have to suffer in the ice and snow."
The place where the transport plane landed is in Quebec City, Canada. As the country with the most land per capita, people here deal with the cold and snow all year round. Compared with the large number of people in the tropics who have been frozen to death, Canadians have survived a lot.
It ’s just that no matter how good the life skills of the tundra are, they ca n’t afford the nuclear winter for a few months. When the supplies gradually decrease, Canadians have to go out to save themselves. Where can they go? America chant. But the United States is also a mess!
The strong man named Walker has gone through a lot of hardships and led his team to New York. He even saw the David Lawrence of the Brotherhood of Steel. But for the help of Canadians, His Excellency Lawrence also said that there is nothing he can do-maybe think about doing business, but giving away supplies is free.
Walker is thus shouldering the heavy burden of frustrating supplies, but things like food, medicine, tobacco and alcohol are lacking. As for what high-tech products are there, who the **** do they care about? It is the most important thing to fill your stomach to survive.
Canada ’s production of vegetables and meat is not enough, and imports have always been needed. Although the country is rich in petroleum, the oil refining industry is far from the place of origin. The most troublesome thing is that Canada's economic structure is simple, most of it is finance, transportation, mining and the like, and the loss of foreign trade will be finished.
The more scarce the material is, the more hoarding it, which leads to a greater shortage, because no one wants to sell something that can save lives. After months of hard work, there was finally a super silly hat willing to re-trade — ‘Aurora Legion’ opened Havana ’s route to New York.
Many years later, some people still remember the madness caused by the arrival of ‘Bird of Paradise’ in Hong Kong.
One potato can be exchanged for equal weight gold.
As long as a pack of cigarettes, someone pushed out his wife and daughter.
In order to board the "Bird of Paradise" to Havana, there was even a riot.
Walker used his identity as a Canadian to strengthen the ally relationship between the two sides, and spent a lot of money to get the aircraft and a small amount of goods from David Lawrence. After he had the limited cargo removed from the plane, he pulled him to meet his old man and walked aside.
"I got in touch with the people of" Aurora Legion ", they want workers with professional skills, especially those who can work in oil refineries. They also need aviation ground crews, and there are many passenger planes there. They also need Women, a large number of highly educated women. "
The old man who was pulled aside is the leader of Quebec City ’s self-government. He nodded after pondering for a while, but then asked: "Are you sure‘ Aurora Legion ’is a good place?"
"I don't know, I can't guarantee you anything. Although I believe that life will be improved in another half a year, we may not be able to sustain it for another half a year." Walker said very realistically, he stomped his feet hard. The land, "I heard that the problem of land drought is getting worse."
"Yes, there has never been rain throughout the nuclear winter. Meteorologists say that nuclear winter has disrupted the atmospheric circulation. Without the changes of the four seasons of the year, the rainfall will not appear again." The old man sighed again. I ’m going to organize, and it should be possible to summon thousands of people out. But how do we transport people over? ”
"As long as we agree to the condition of" Aurora Legion ", they will send passenger planes to pick up people."
"What are the conditions? Is n’t it enough for us to give them?"
"They are going to tear down our oil refinery."
"Which group of **** will dismantle our oil refinery?"
"Not only oil refineries, they definitely want more."
"This is a robbery!" The old man was stunned but helpless, "But we have no choice, right? As long as we can survive, we can only promise."
The reality of brutal forces people to sell their materials at the lowest price, even if the transaction is extremely unequal. Zhou Qingfeng has always wanted to expand its own oil refining capacity, but David Lawrence's cooperation in this area is not very happy. Sending some people and getting some equipment is like squeezing toothpaste.
So Zhou Qingfeng just got rid of David Lawrence and talked directly to Canadians. Because Canada has a pretty good oil refining industry, Quebec City has an oil refinery.
When it comes to this matter, Zhou Qingfeng is actually quite depressed, Cuba is far away from the United States where nuclear bombs are flying around. But this is basically nothing, and the manufacturing industry is quite backward. Finally, an oil refinery was blown up and production capacity has not been restored.
In the United States, industrial facilities are everywhere, and the technology is quite sophisticated. Even Canada can easily find a big city, and its industrial production capacity has dropped eight streets in Cuba. But now that world's end is coming, Zhou Qingfeng is given a good chance to pick up the junk and gather skilled workers.
There is no way for ‘Aurora Legion’ to take advantage of the robbery, and even the transaction may not even proceed quickly. After Walker completed the briefing, he returned to his home along the depressed street, and his wife and children gave him a warm welcome.
Just after the welcome, the scene at home is a bit bleak. The wife said helplessly: "Originally there was a limited supply of corn and potatoes, but now the corn is eaten up and the potatoes are rotten in the ground."
"There are still half a jar of maple syrup at home, which is our last reserve. I plan to keep it for the children."
"Walker, I really tried my best. The foods I have stored are all eaten up. There are rumors in the city that people are starving to death. If you do n’t come back, I really do n’t know what to do?"
Looking at the thin face of the family, Walker took out a few cans of meat from his backpack with tears, and then watched his children eat like a wolf.
"Do n’t worry, do n’t worry, I found a way out, and we will leave this ghost place immediately. I know where I can live a stable life."
Walker, who was still hesitant, came down hard. He now feels that it does n’t matter if he sends the whole city to ‘Aurora Legion’, as long as his family can be safe. (To be continued.)
