Chapter 775: Depression

The rumbling propeller stirred the air, and a light transport plane with obvious patches slowly descended from the air, sliding for just over a hundred meters on rough and uneven ground before stopping. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Before the blades stopped, the door of the plane opened, and several stout men in warm leather jackets and machine guns jumped out of it. The leading man spat on the ground, and laughed a few times on his unshaven face, "This broken plane is pretty good." ”

As soon as the light transport plane came to a stop, dozens of people gathered on both sides of the crude runway, shouting, 'What did you bring this time?' Is there any medicine? ''We want some fresh vegetables and meat''' Woman or? I have a few pretty teenage girls here, absolutely top-notch. ’

In the midst of the noise, the man in the lead shot his gun into the air and scolded loudly: "Be quiet for me." ”

Gunshots rang out, but the crowd didn't frighten much. But an old man in his fifties came out, stretched out his arms and laughed, "Walker, can't you little rabbit come sooner?" Did you know that we waited for you for three days? ”

"Be content, old fellow." The Aurora Legion's freighter only comes once every half a month, and each time it comes, it only has more than 10,000 tons of cargo, but there are at least two million people waiting to distribute the goods. Do you know that in order to grab the supply, you even have to die? ”

The leader, known as Walker, grumbled several times and said, "If I hadn't been lucky enough to get this transport plane, you'd still have to endure in the snow and ice." ”

The plane landed in Quebec City, Canada, which is the country with the largest land per capita, and its people deal with cold, snow and ice all year round. Compared to the tropical people, who froze to death in large numbers, Canadians survived a lot.

It's just that no matter how good the cold life skills are, they can't withstand a few months of nuclear winter, and when supplies are slowly decreasing, Canadians have to go out to save themselves. Where can they go? American. But the United States is also a mess!

The strong man named Walker led the team to New York after a lot of hardship, and even met Davy of the Brotherhood of Steel. Lawrence. But in response to the Canadians' pleas for help, His Excellency Lawrence also said that there was nothing he could do - maybe he could consider doing business, but he would not have to talk about sending supplies for free.

In this way, Walker shouldered the heavy responsibility of pouring supplies, but everyone lacked things such as food, medicine, tobacco and alcohol. As for what high-tech products are, who the* cares about tech products these days? The most important thing is to fill your stomach and survive.

Canada's vegetable and meat production is insufficient, and it has always needed to be supplemented by imports. Although the country is rich in oil, the oil refining industry is far from the production area. The most troublesome thing is that Canada's economic structure is single, most of it is finance, transportation, mining and the like, and it will be finished if it loses foreign trade.

The more scarce the supplies, the more they are hoarded, which leads to even more scarcity, because no one wants to sell what can save their lives. After months of suffering, there is finally a super-stupid hat willing to re-trade - the 'Aurora Army' has opened a route from Havana to New York.

Years later, there are still people who remember the madness caused by the arrival of the Bird of Paradise.

One potato can be exchanged for the same weight of gold.

As long as a pack of cigarettes, someone pushed his wife and daughter out.

There was even a riot to board the Bird of Paradise to Havana.

Walker used his Canadian status as an excuse to strengthen the alliance between the two sides, and spent a lot of money to get a big deal from Davy. Lawrence got the plane and a small amount of supplies. And after he had the limited cargo removed from the plane, he pulled the old man who had come to greet him to the side.

"I got in touch with the people from the Aurora Legion, who wanted skilled workers, especially those who could work in the refinery. They also need aviation ground crews, and they have quite a few passenger planes there. They also need women, a large number of highly educated women. ”

The old man who was pulled aside was the head of Quebec City's Resident Government, and after a pause, he nodded, but then asked, "Are you sure the Aurora Legion is a good place to go?" ”

"I don't know, I can't promise you anything. Although I believe that life will improve in another six months, we may not be able to last another half a year. Walker was realistic, he stomped the hard ground under his feet, "I've heard that the problem of land drought is getting worse. ”

"Yes, it hasn't rained all the nuclear winter. Meteorologists say that nuclear winters disrupt atmospheric circulation, and without the four seasons of the year, rainfall will not appear again. The old man sighed again, "I'll go and organize, and I should be able to gather a few thousand people out." But how do we get people there? ”

"As long as we agree to the conditions of the 'Aurora Legion', they will send a passenger plane to pick up people."

"What conditions? Isn't it enough for us to give people to them? ”

"They're going to tear down our refinery."

"Those bastards are going to tear down our refinery?"

"It's not just the refinery, they want more."

"It's a robbery!" The old man was stunned for a moment, but he was helpless, "But we don't have a choice, right?" As long as we can live, we can only say yes. ”

The harsh reality forces people to sell their goods at the lowest possible price, even if the trade is extremely unequal. Zhou Qingfeng has always wanted to expand his refining capacity. Lawrence didn't work very well in this regard, sending some people and getting some equipment was like squeezing toothpaste.

So Zhou Qingfeng simply got rid of David. Lawrence, talk directly to the Canadians. Because Canada has a pretty good oil refining industry, there are refineries in Quebec City.

Speaking of this, Zhou Qingfeng is actually quite depressed, Cuba is far away from the United States, where nuclear bombs are flying. But there is basically nothing in this broken place, and the manufacturing industry is quite backward. Finally, an oil refinery was blown up, and production capacity has not been restored.

But in the United States, industrial facilities are everywhere, and the technology is quite sophisticated. Even if Canada finds a larger city, its industrial production capacity is eight streets behind Cuba. But now that the end of the world has come, it has given Zhou Qingfeng a good opportunity to pick up the rags and gather skilled workers.

For the 'Aurora Legion' to take advantage of the fire to rob, everyone has no choice, and even wishes that the transaction should be carried out quickly. After completing the briefing, Walker returned to his home along the depressed streets, where his wife and children gave him a warm welcome.

It's just that 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 on the market, but now the corn has been eaten up, and the potatoes are rotting in the ground." ”

"We still have half a jar of maple sugar at home, which is our last stockpile, and I plan to keep it for my children."

"Walker, I've tried my best, I've already eaten all the food I have in stock. Rumors spread in the city that people had starved to death. I don't know what to do if you don't come back? ”

Looking at the emaciated faces of the family, Walker took out a few cans of meat from his backpack with tears in his eyes, and then watched his children pounce on them like wolves.

"Don't worry, don't worry, I've found a way out, let's get out of this place right away. I know where to live in peace. ”

Walker, who was still a little hesitant, was ruthless, and now he felt that it didn't matter if he gave the entire city to the 'Aurora Army', as long as his family was safe. (To be continued.) )
