Diego wasn't tired of being alive, he was forced to enter Cuba. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
In Mexico, a country run by drug traffickers, Diego was a powerful man before the cataclysm as a drug dealer leader. He has his own city, a professional management team, and a sophisticated private army. He was an earth emperor until the cataclysm changed the world.
When the U.S. government and military disappeared, Mexicans poured into the U.S. as happily as Cubans. It's just that the Cubans entered Florida and the Mexicans stormed Texas - what a tragedy!
It's not the Americans in Texas who are sad, it's the Mexicans who want to live a good life. Unlike the weak Floridians, the Texans are the toughest in America.
The Texas militia easily overwhelmed the attacking Mexicans, and then rushed into Mexico to fight and kill. Diego, who has been bullying the government, has tasted being bullied for the first time, and those Texans are so fierce that fighting drug dealers is like playing. Diego had to flee to southern Mexico until the nuclear bomb washed the ground.
When the end came, Diego was even glad that he had escaped from the city, but he soon faced the same problem as Zhou Qingfeng. Nuclear winter is coming, how to survive this cold world - if you want to heat up, you need fuel! The efficiency of burning wood is too poor, and it is more convenient to burn oil.
There are seven oil refineries in Mexico, but they are either in the hands of Texans or occupied by other powers. On the verge of extinction, Diego remembered that there was an oil refinery in Cuba.
Watching a large number of companions freeze to death, humanity has exploded with amazing potential in order to survive. Diego didn't care what nuclear radiation was or not, he directly sent someone to fly a small plane to José in Havana. Marty International Airport.
After determining that the Cienfuegos refinery in Havana still had refining capacity, he mobilized all his men to sail to Havana. The harsh environment made the migration route full of death, and a large number of people died halfway through the road due to hunger and cold.
Bodies can often be seen on the surface of the ice, as a result of the constant dumping of bodies by transport vessels. Later, the ship only looked at the corpses along the way to know whether it had deviated.
Due to the large number of Cubans who had fled to the United States and the nuclear bomb attack on Havana, the Cuban capital was almost empty. When Diego entered the city, he was greeted by a huge pile of ruins and corpses.
Havana has been transformed into a city burned by hellfire, lacking tall reinforced concrete buildings, ordinary bungalows that are unable to withstand the devastating force of the shock wave, and are scorched earth as far as the eye can see.
The Cienfuegos refinery is located in the port of Havana, and when you enter the production area, you can see twisted and deformed pipes and collapsed fractionation towers. But several engineers from Mexico said that some of the equipment was still usable and could be used to produce fuels such as gasoline, diesel, and kerosene.
Cuba's crude oil production is not high, but it is still a little bit. Diego brought in tanker trucks to extract crude oil in Cuba and transport it to the Cienfuegos refinery for production.
In order to get enough fuel to withstand the nuclear winter as soon as possible, Diego ordered workers to start repairing the refinery. However, this brute force soon ran into trouble, and a large number of workers became weak after two or three days on the job, coughed up blood, and died quickly, even several of the valuable engineers.
But Diego did not stop there, and he used his armed forces to annex a large number of Cuban local guerrillan soldiers, and then captured civilians in other cities near Havana to carry out this dangerous work.
Because the Cuban National Liberation Front, which originally ruled Havana, was almost wiped out in a nuclear bomb attack, the rulers of northern Cuba became this group of Mexicans for a while.
In just five days, Diego obtained his first barrel of kerosene by refining oil using the local method. Although the oil quality is not good, it is enough to make people shivering in the cold let out a whole cheer.
By the time Zhou Qingfeng led his team to Havana, Diego had already gathered tens of thousands of Mexicans and Cubans using the weapons and equipment left behind by the Cuban military and established a simple regime. In the face of the threat of death in the last days, Cubans are embracing this foreign ruler.
However, all this did not come without a price, and Diego himself had some kind of anomaly due to the overdose of radiation. His skin had become dry, wrinkled, and even festering, his hair had fallen out profusely, his face was old, and his eye sockets were deep, looking like a zombie.
But Diego is miraculously not dead, he becomes sluggish, but his resistance to all kinds of damage becomes extremely strong. For example, when others are frozen half to death in the cold wind, he wears a thin black robe but does nothing. His brain did not degenerate, it only became more aloof and brutal. Such a change only made his subordinates even more awe-inspiring him, even worshipping him as a god.
Zhou Qingfeng is now meeting such an opponent. When he found that someone had seized Havana, he had no choice but to disembark in Matanzas, south of Havana. He was accompanied by an armed force of two hundred men.
The city of Matanzas is an important industrial city in Cuba and the capital of the province of Matanzas, with a population of about one million before the cataclysm. That's right, a province with a population of one million should not be compared with a country with a few million people in a random city.
The residents of the city did not react to the arrival of Zhou Qingfeng and the others, and they all stayed at home and waited for death as if they were frozen stupid. In some houses, even the whole family died and no one took it away.
"Boil some hot water, get some food, and warm up the people here. We need them, even if they can't be guides, they can be cannon fodder! Zhou Qingfeng gave an order, and the city was only a little popular. Many people woke up from the frozen state after drinking some hot porridge, and they couldn't stop crying.
The city of Matanzas originally had a population of 500,000. Now, ......, it would be nice to have 100,000 people alive. Although the industrial capacity of this city is not as good as that of Havana, it can be compared to the towns and villages of a perverted country, and most importantly, at least it has not been nuclearized!
"It's a hundred kilometers from Havana, and we need to use it as an attack base." Zhou Qingfeng called the accompanying commanding officer Rom, "Take fifty people and go to the citizens to recruit soldiers, I need at least a thousand cannon fodder." Tell those who are about to freeze to death and starve to death that if they want to live, they have to listen to us.
Also, with Lena. Fox contacted me and asked her to send me an industrial assessment team. Matanzas still has some industrial capacity, and maybe we should take advantage of the facilities and resources here. ”
Just as Zhou Qingfeng was about to carry out some construction and slowly plot against Havana, Diego, who was guarding Havana, also received a report from his subordinates: a well-prepared army appeared in their sphere of influence and occupied the city of Matanzas.
"How many people are on the other side?" Diego was now wrapped in a black robe, his face was even masked, and his voice was hoarse as if something was rubbing.
"About a thousand." Diego's men felt that it didn't hurt to exaggerate.
"A thousand." Diego didn't like people to be in his sphere of influence, even if Matanzas was a hundred kilometers away from him, but he instinctively felt threatened, "Let General Dabin take two infantry battalions to drive them away, let this group know that they shouldn't be in my sight."
