Extra-three, the day of leaving Wang Qiu (II)
Extra-three, the day of leaving Wang Qiu (II)
While most of Europe was struggling with plague, war and anarchy, Lisbon, the capital of the Portuguese Republic, managed to maintain the most basic order and not fall into a more miserable purgatory, relying on quarantine, martial law, nationwide military control and border blockade, and more importantly, thanks to the strict defense of the land border of the Iberian Peninsula by neighboring Spain.
Under the grim situation of the imminent fall of the European continent as a whole, Spain and Portugal had to completely tear off the pretense of human rights and freedoms, cut off sea and land communications by blowing up bridges and tunnels, laying mines and mines, bombarding illegal refugee boats with helicopter gunships, massacring foreign refugee groups with thermobaric bombs, incendiary bombs and poison gas, and even shooting down evasive passenger planes with missiles, and creating countless killing fields in the foothills of the Pyrenees and on the beaches of the Iberian Peninsula. This is how it can withstand the frenzied onslaught of armed displaced people on its borders.
As for crimes such as humanitarian crises...... At this juncture on the verge of national extinction, who else cares about so much?!
The few pagan immigrants in the two countries were all imprisoned in concentration camps long before the outbreak of the plague. At the same time, on the eve of the plague, the political situation in Spain and Portugal was relatively stable, and there was no great turmoil like France, Germany, and England, and the government still had strong executive power. In addition, the first place where the plague appeared was far away in Central and Eastern Europe, so it gave these two countries a certain buffer time.
But even with all these racking and strict defenses, the border guards of the Portuguese Republic and the Kingdom of Spain, the police and militia, could not stop the pervasive "Lucifer Plague", which finally descended on the land of the Iberian Peninsula. Beginning with Barcelona, which borders the Mediterranean Sea and has been battered by refugee fleets, city after city has fallen, at first hospitals have been bombed into morgues, and doctors and nurses have died or fled. Then there were thousands of corpses that rotted directly in the streets, no one dared to approach, no one dared to bury them. Many unfortunate families died in their homes in just a few days, and the government ordered rows of houses to be torn down to bury the bodies, and even doused with gasoline to burn them.
Despite the strictest quarantine measures imposed by the Spanish and Portuguese governments, about half of the deaths in some cities and towns of the Iberian Peninsula have been delayed due to the lack of vaccines and specific drugs. The entire Iberian Peninsula has also permanently lost a tenth of its population in a matter of months. What's even more terrifying is that, unlike smallpox, even those survivors who once relied on their own immune systems to temporarily survive the "Lucifer Plague" did not gain lasting immunity, but were likely to be infected again before long.
Fortunately, at this most dangerous moment, the Chinese medical authorities finally developed a special drug to treat the "Lucifer Plague". Relying on the emergency airlift of specific drugs, the Spanish and Portuguese governments have finally stabilized their positions again, defused the panic of their own people on the verge of explosion, and thwarted the repeated rebellion by terrorists and armed bandits abroad. As for the millions of refugees who are still hovering across the Pyrenees...... This can only make them ask for more blessings. Even if there is a cure for the plague now, who knows how many terrorists and cultists there are among these refugees, and what will be done about the problem of maintaining law and order after they are released? What's more, now that international trade is largely interrupted, and the Spaniards and Portuguese themselves are enforcing a strict food rationing system, what should they eat if they take in so many refugees at once? What to drink? Do we want our citizens to starve voluntarily and save food to help foreigners with ill intentions? Such a decision is simply insane!
In any case, despite the above-mentioned regrets and shortcomings, in general, the situation is still developing on the bright side.
However, at this moment of dawn, a desperate bad news once again drove the Europeans into the abyss of darkness......
- Hundreds of nuclear power plants in the UK, France, Germany, Belgium and Italy, as well as factories for the production and processing of nuclear fuel, as well as military nuclear submarines and nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, have been leaking seriously after months of chaos and out of control!
A large-scale nuclear contamination incident 100 times more serious than Chernobyl suddenly befell the calamities of Europeans.
And this time, there were no more Soviet Red Army and Komsomol members who forgot their lives to rush to the nuclear power plant......

ββ¦β¦ That's a ...... It's choking! Could it be that there is a radiation cloud blown by the wind? β
Standing next to the side of the evacuation cruise ship, looking at the beeping numbers on the screen of the Geiger counter in her hand, Ms. Ma Tong couldn't help but feel a burst of numbness in her scalp, and even quietly retreated in her heart, and she didn't even have the heart to get off the ship and go to Lisbon city for an interview.
- Of course, although the numbers on the Geiger counter may seem terrifying, even if you spend a week in this environment, the total amount of radiation that each person is exposed to is only equivalent to taking an X-ray in a hospital. However, in the absence of problems with the nuclear power plants in Spain (there are no nuclear power plants in Portugal), this radiation figure is enough to prove that something very terrible must be happening on the other side of the Pyrenees......
She sighed and looked up, and the dock was crowded and bustling. The Chinese marines who came with the evacuation fleet have set up a checkpoint on the wharf and, with the cooperation of local embassy personnel, are escorting Chinese nationals with their families and families and supporting the elderly and children to board and evacuate the ship. And thousands of expatriates and their families lined up in long queues, each holding a small flag in their hands and a relieved smile on their faces - many expatriates had been waiting on the pier for a week for this ticket to return from Europe!
Among these overseas Chinese who have returned to China, there are also many very beautiful white girls and Lori, and they are all "spouses" or "adopted daughters" on the identity registration. Looking at the appearance of most of their husbands who are crooked melons and cracked dates, one can imagine how much sacrifice these beauties have made in order to escape Europe.
Well, it's okay if the sisters spend anything, I hope there won't be any scandals of "ghost fathers" or mothers and daughters "taking all" in the future.
In addition to the Marines who maintained order and the Chinese expatriates who were queuing up to board the ship, there were also crowds of people on the periphery of the wharf, and no less than tens of thousands of people gathered at one time. Among them, there are whites and blacks, carrying luggage and children, and the noise is boiling in the sky, basically after hearing the bad news of the collective leakage of the British and French nuclear power plants, the people of European countries who want to escape from the Iberian Peninsula by boat.
At this moment, they are all watching these Chinese board and leave with fiery eyes full of envy and jealousy, and they can't wait to rush over as well. However, the muzzles of the guns of the Chinese marines, as well as the sizzling batons, did not leave these people with any chance to fish in troubled waters. From time to time, someone was unceremoniously stunned because he was too emotional and tried to push the Chinese Marines who were blocking the front.
- After learning the bad news of the large-scale leakage of nuclear power plants in Western European countries, even the most nostalgic people have no confidence that they can continue to live in the area contaminated by nuclear radiation: the plague is now cured, and the bandits can resist it with guns, but how can they resist nuclear radiation?
But the problem is that as early as the outbreak of the "Luciferian plague", there was already a wave of frenzy of fleeing across the sea in European countries. From cruise ships to freighters to fishing boats, almost every ship on the European continent that could be used to escape was driven away at that time and never returned. For example, a Spanish refugee sailed a 15-ton dhow and carried his family across the Atlantic to South America.
Therefore, the Portuguese and Spaniards, who had been grinding until now before thinking of fleeing across the sea, had a hard time finding ships that could go to seaβthe guys who drove them away before were basically gone, and very few would drive them back to pick up people.
Although the air route from Lisbon to the Americas has not yet been completely closed, at this time, the ticket to go abroad can only be bought with gold, and gold alone is not enough, you also need to have connections and connections to get it. So ordinary people can only go to the port to try their luck and see if they can catch up with the Chinese evacuation fleet: if you really can't go to the Americas, it seems good to be able to escape to East Asia or Australia......
However, according to what Ma Tong knew, at this point, even if they did go to sea by boat, it would be difficult for them to find a place willing to accept them. The current man-made "Lucifer plague" is not only raging in Europe, North Africa and the Middle East, but on all continents of the world. Even China, which was the first to develop a miracle drug, has an unprecedented death toll of nearly one million in this plague. The plague situation in the countries of the Americas, Southeast Asia and Oceania is even worse, with tens of millions of deaths, and the people are already full of panic and anger.
Panic over the Resident Crisis has led to violent attacks and looting of refugees around the world, and most functioning governments have closed their borders and refused to host refugees. Even the few countries willing to host refugees have strict quotas and quarantine in concentration camps as soon as they enter the country. Today, the oceans around the world are littered with dirty, dilapidated, desperate refugee boats, scurrying around like headless flies, trying to find a rich country willing to host them, only to be frustrated and deported again and again.
Running out of fuel, food, water and fuel, some of these refugee ships have been forced to try their luck in Africa's plague-ridden and collapsed governments in resource-rich and chaotic countries. Some refugee ships have simply become pirates, and because of the collapse of global shipping and the lack of ships to grab, they simply frequently attack coastal ports, burn and loot on a large scale, thus further increasing the disgust and hostility of governments and citizens towards refugees at sea.
- The oceans of the earth are almost about to enter the era of pirates.

Just as Ms. Ma Tong was so thoughtful, she suddenly noticed that there seemed to be smoke and fire behind the shadowy buildings in the distance, and she could faintly hear the sound of thunderous explosions, so she took out a pocket telescope from her bosom and looked towards the place where the smoke and fire were rising. Suddenly I saw that farther away in the city of Lisbon, there was already a scene of devastation and riots, and all kinds of rioters were openly roaming the streets, killing people and setting fires everywhere, including those with machetes, steel pipes, axes, and Molotov cocktails, as well as pistols or throwing grenades, and even people with automatic rifles shooting everywhere, and the intensity of the exchange of fire had almost reached the level of "quasi-war". Although the Portuguese army and police are still trying their best to suppress it, and even drove tanks and armored vehicles to kill rivers of blood in the streets, the rioters in the city are still invincible, and the guns continue to fire.
Seeing that the downtown area of Lisbon was already a barricade street battle, Ms. Ma Tong, who cherished her own life, suddenly became more and more afraid to get off the boat and venture into the city. It's not okay to be responsible for it, and you can't do it without making some news. So she looked around, found a secretary of the Chinese embassy in Portugal on the deck, and was going to ask him about the situation, do an interview, and then make do with the manuscript.
ββ¦β¦ Why is Lisbon so chaotic? Hehe, since the news of the nuclear leak spread, there have been riots in the city for three days. β
In response to Ms. Ma Tong's inquiry, the haggard and bloodshot secretary replied with a wry smile, "...... The government troops of Portugal and Spain are in chaos, and at least a quarter of the 'Lucifer Plague' special treatment drug that was urgently airlifted from China a few days ago is piled up at the airport and no one cares about it! β
ββ¦β¦ It's been so messy? Hearing the news revealed by the secretary, Ms. Ma Tong couldn't help but be slightly surprised, "...... So, what is the actual situation of nuclear leakage in European countries? Do you have any more accurate information here? I've been on the ship for the past few days, and I'm not very well informed from the outside world. There are also rumors flying all over the country......"
ββ¦β¦ How so? According to the information obtained from satellite reconnaissance and aircraft aerial photography, there are currently 39 nuclear power plants and two nuclear plants in European countries, including Russia, and two nuclear power plants in Britain and one nuclear power plant in Ukraine have directly had a big explosion, and the leakage and spread of radioactive materials are extremely serious! β
The secretary replied, "...... It is unclear whether these nuclear leaks were caused by terrorists and doomsday cultists, or simply because the nuclear power plant staff fled, resulting in the nuclear power plant being unmanaged and eventually uncontrolled and causing an accident. And it doesn't seem like there's going to be a way to investigate it in detail β in the current state of utter chaos, no one has the power to organize and send a team to the site of the nuclear leak to investigate......"
ββ¦β¦ It does sound scary...... "Ms. Ma Tong said at first...... Isn't there anyone trying to save it? β
ββ¦β¦ Hehe, who else is going to take care of this mess now? Europe is even more chaotic now than Somalia and Syria were back then! β
The secretary spread his hands helplessly, "...... The governments of Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Belgium and the Netherlands have long since been finished, and the countries of Eastern Europe are left to their own devices. Are you counting on those white right-wing extremists to understand nuclear power? Or do you think that terrorists will have the heart to save the nuclear crisis?
The governments of these countries, such as Portugal and Spain, which have survived for the time being, also cannot muster so many professional nuclear power plant repair teams, let alone provide them with logistical support and armed protection if they want to enter the nuclear power plant for emergency repair and maintenance. You know, there are at least more than 200 nuclear reactors in Europe that have been out of control, and who can manage them in today's chaotic situation?
Moreover, the land and sea lines of communication to these nuclear power plants are now cut off, all personnel and equipment have to be transported by helicopter and parachuted, and even the current air routes are not necessarily safe, because of the massive loss of weapons in the midst of the collapse of European countries. Therefore, it is very likely that certain terrorists and cultists with ill intentions have already mastered a large number of shoulder-fired individual air defense missiles. Moreover, according to some seemingly unreliable rumors, even French and Israeli nuclear weapons have been lost to terrorists β in short, no single power in Europe today can accomplish such a difficult task of salvation. As for the United States and NATO...... Hehe, the US government has officially announced the dissolution of NATO at noon yesterday and will no longer assume any obligations to its European allies. The troops stationed in Europe and the United States withdrew before that, and the troops who were destroyed were destroyed......"
Hearing the news of NATO's dissolution, Ms. Ma Tong was also embarrassed on her face, but she was not shocked in her heart. Because there were already signs of this. In the midst of the catastrophe of the great plague and terrorist attacks that swept the world, the United States, the "leader of the free world," was also the focus of terrorists' concentrated attacks.
As a matter of fact, as early as the beginning of the turmoil in Europe, the United States was tired of its endless obligations as allies, and many people began to propose to abandon its global strategy, return to isolationism, retreat to its homeland, and rely on the natural barrier of the two oceans to once again hibernate and wait for the next opportunity to rise. And after the "Lucifer Plague" swept the world, the battered United States, no matter how reluctant it was, could only carry out strategic contraction.
ββ¦β¦ What's more, now even the Europeans themselves have chosen to give up. The Government of the Kingdom of Spain has left its mainland on the European continent and moved this morning to the Canary Islands in the Atlantic. And the Portuguese government will also transfer to the Azores tomorrow or the day after tomorrow......"
After a moment of silence, the secretary continued, "...... Therefore, when your evacuation fleet completes its mission, we diplomats will also retreat with us...... Hey, I don't know when I'm going to come back when I'm leaving Europe this time. β
He sighed and tilted his face, squinting at the smoky, ruined city ahead, "...... What will Europe look like in the future? β
Listening to the secretary's emotion, Ms. Ma Tong also had a close feeling: although the Westerners' strong ships and artillery bombarded the door of China, shattered the Chinese's "dream of going to China", and brought endless pain and disaster to the land of China. However, it is undeniable that since modern times, the once remote and backward European continent has become the center of civilization for all mankind. Almost all the important elements that make up modern society, such as science and technology, social contract, logical thinking, financial credit and humanistic concepts, all come from this small land. Without Europe, there would be no modern civilization that everyone is familiar with.
However, the birthplace of modern civilization now seems to be about to go to the grave in pain...... It is difficult for Ms. Ma Tong to be optimistic about whether Europe will be able to resurrect after the Holocaust: none of the linguistic, ethnic, and cultural problems that have plagued the integration of European civilizations in the past have not been resolved. The religious conflict, which had been diluted in Europe, intensified again with the fluttering of the crescent flag......
All in all, the lights of traditional European civilization are about to be extinguished, and it is unlikely that they will be back on for a long time to come.

Just as the two people on the deck were looking at the streets of Lisbon with sad faces, they heard a sudden burst of fierce shouting and warning shots from the pier below. Ms. Ma Tong leaned on the railing and looked down, but found that the locals and European refugees who wanted to smuggle in the boat had broken through the blockade line at some point and were making trouble on the trestle close to the side of the boat, trying to force their way onto the boat!
- Previously, in order to keep out the restless citizens and refugees outside, Chinese marines had erected a temporary ring of fortifications on the dock and formed a human wall with riot shields to block the entrance. However, as the limited number of more than 2,000 expatriates and their families boarded the ship, and the Marines in charge of the vigilance withdrew to the ship, the impregnable shield wall and fortified line suddenly collapsed.
Taking advantage of this brief gap, a large number of whites and blacks rushed over, only to see them stretching out their arms one by one, letting out a zombie-like roar, or trying to squeeze onto the gangplank and gangway, or constantly pushing and even biting the Chinese marines and embassy diplomats who were too late to get on board, causing a mess. Amid the deafening noise, Ms. Ma Tong keenly noticed that behind these fanatical people who wanted to flock to the boat, there were several leading guys who were calmly instigating and directing, and even holding loudspeakers and shouting and cursing in French.
After listening carefully, it turned out to be demagoguery and incitement, saying that the 10,000-ton cruise ship on the dock can carry at least four or five thousand people as long as it is squeezed, and the Chinese on the ship just now is no more than 2,000 people, which means that there must be many vacant seats on the Chinese ship, and you have to break into the ship if you want to survive......
ββ¦β¦ Belch? Is there really a lot of space left on this ship? Why can't a few more refugees be taken away? β
The embassy secretary also knew French, and after hearing this, he couldn't help but be a little stunned, so he turned to Ms. Ma Tong and asked.
ββ¦β¦ There was indeed extra space, and there were three empty ships that did not dock at all. But on the way back, the fleet will have to go to Lagos in Nigeria and Dakar in Senegal, where the majority of the evacuation operation is the largest, and there are 20,000 or 30,000 people who need to be repatriated! β
Ms. Ma Tong replied, "...... Therefore, we have neither the obligation nor the strength to take these foreigners ashore. Besides, these guys who want to rub the boat don't look like good people, and they probably have some bad intentions. It's better not to ask for trouble......"
While he was talking, several sailors saw that the situation was not right, and immediately used a heavy machine gun fixed on the side of the ship to fire a warning shot at the crowd on the trestle. With the loud sound of gunfire and the conspicuous sound and light impact, the whites and blacks who had been pushing and shoving and swarming over seemed to have been whipped violently, and finally came back to their senses a little, and retreated in chaos.
The sailors on the cruise ship also took the opportunity to open the hatch again and quickly rescued the people trapped on the shore. In just the blink of an eye, several of them were obviously bleeding from their heads, covered in bruises, and even the clothes on their bodies were stained red.
Then, before the frenzied crowd on the shore could rush again, the sailors on the cruise ship pulled off the gangplank, locked the hatch, retracted the gangway, and at the same time put away the anchor chain as fast as they could, and saw that they were about to set sail for the sea. But those who wanted to rub the ship did not give up, only to see a desperate shout suddenly sounded in the crowded crowd, and the next moment, a rocket launcher burst into fire on the cruise ship, and the tail flame of the jet burned a large group of people, and the rocket also accurately hit the huge and bulky target, exploding a bright and dazzling spark on the side of the ship.
However, the destructive power of a mere RPG is as weak as hitting an elephant with a slingshot for an ocean liner of tens of thousands of tons. When the flames of the explosion had cleared, the enraged sailors returned fire, and the deck was again filled with the sound of tom-tom gunfire, splashing countless blood splatters in the crowd by the docks. One after another, bodies with bullets fell one after another, blood streaming all over the ground and shattering skulls. Frightened, the rest of the people fled.
Immediately, the warships in charge of escorting the ship also opened heavy fire on the pier, hitting the oil tanks and cars on the shore, and the bright flames instantly soared into the sky.
- In this way, against the backdrop of explosions and fires, the Chinese evacuation fleet slowly left the port of Lisbon.
Looking at the buildings of Lisbon and the coastline of the Iberian Peninsula, gradually disappearing into view, Ms. Ma Tong breathed a sigh of relief.
As an experienced former reincarnation of infinite space, she is also used to seeing the collapse of civilizations and the destruction of countries, but seeing such a catastrophe scene appear in her homeland world, Ma Tong still can't help but feel a little melancholy and sadness.
But, no matter what, the trip to Europe ended so-so. And the "Lucifer plague" that swept the world was also contained. At the same time, many contradictions that have accumulated for a long time in human civilization and society have also been fully released in this catastrophe - Europe, the Middle East and Africa are expected to wipe out one billion to two billion people in the midst of wars and plagues, making enough room for the rest of the people to live. As for how the survivors of the Holocaust should forget their hatred, live in harmony, learn to understand each other, burn the ugly and evil things in their religious culture, try to transform and evolve in pain, work together to remove nuclear pollution, and build a new home of their own...... That's the task for the next generation.
Although the process and the result are not rosy, the most painful disaster has finally passed, and the next task is to use time to heal the wound.
However, just as Ms. Ma Tong was in such a reverie, she was suddenly startled by a series of sharp sirens and jumped up. The next moment, she was stunned to see an extraordinary white light piercing the eastern sky, and the scream of "nuclear explosion" sounded in her ears at the same time.
- Retracting the preface, it seems that the terrible catastrophe that is now sweeping the world has no intention of ending anytime soon......
After a moment, feeling the scorching heat of the sea breeze, looking at the mushroom clouds rising slowly on the distant European coastline, and the scrambled and shouting crew and passengers around her, Ms. Ma Tong closed her eyes helplessly, and at the same time sighed silently in her heart.

PS: To answer some readers' questions, oil is indeed not only a fuel, but also a chemical raw material, and after the application of nuclear fusion, Saudi Arabia and Iraq can still continue to rely on the export of oil to make money. But global oil prices will inevitably fall, and the consumer market will also shrink. That is, the revenues of the countries of the Middle East from the export of oil will decline for quite some time. However, the population of these countries has more than increased tenfold compared to before independence, and it continues to swell, and they can only recite the scriptures and understand technology. Not to mention that the oil dividend is decreasing, even if it is just that the dividend stops growing, the country is in danger of collapsing, so it can only play the civil war minus the Ding, or play the great migration of peoples.
