Rise of the Wasteland

Chapter 361 Landing in Cuba

Diego is not tired of life, he was forced to go to Cuba.

In Mexico, where drug dealers run the country, Diego, as a drug dealer leader, was a hero before the catastrophe. He has his own city, a professional management team, and sophisticated private armaments. He was a local emperor until the cataclysm changed the whole world.

When the U.S. government and military disappeared, a large number of Mexicans flooded into the United States as happily as the Cubans. Only the Cubans went into Florida and the Mexicans went into Texas—what a tragedy!

It's not the Americans in Texas who are sad, it's the Mexicans who want to live a better life. Unlike the feeble Floridians, the Texans are the toughest in America.

The Texas militia easily overthrew the incoming Mexicans, and then rushed into Mexico to fight and kill. Diego, who has been bullying the government, tasted being bullied for the first time. Those Texans are extremely tough, and fighting drug dealers is like playing. Diego had to flee to southern Mexico until the nuclear bombs wiped out the land.

When the end came, Diago was even grateful that he escaped from the city, but he soon faced the same problem as Zhou Qingfeng. The nuclear winter is coming, how to survive this cold world - if you want to keep warm, you need fuel! The efficiency of burning wood is too poor, and it is more convenient to burn oil.

There are seven refineries in Mexico, but they are either in the hands of the Texans or occupied by other forces. On the brink of death, Diego remembered that there was an oil refinery in Cuba.

Seeing a large number of companions being frozen to death, human beings exploded with amazing potential in order to survive. Diego didn't care about nuclear radiation or not. He directly sent someone to fly a small plane to Havana's Jose Marti International Airport.

After confirming that the Cienfuegos refinery in Havana still had oil refining capacity, he mobilized all his men and went to Havana by boat. The harsh environment made this migration road full of deaths, and a large number of people died halfway due to hunger and cold.

Bodies are often seen on the icy sea, the result of constant dumping by transport ships. In the end, the ship knew whether it was veering just by looking at the corpses along the way.

Due to the large number of Cubans who fled to the United States before, coupled with the nuclear bomb attack in Havana, the Cuban capital is almost empty. When Diego entered the city, what he saw was a huge ruin and a pile of corpses.

Havana has become a city burned by the flames of hell. There are no tall reinforced concrete buildings here. Ordinary bungalows can't resist the destructive force of the shock wave. At a glance, they are all scorched earth.

The Cienfuegos refinery is located in the port of Havana. When you enter the production area, you can see distorted pipelines and collapsed fractionation towers.

However, several engineers from Mexico said that some equipment can still be used to produce gasoline, diesel, kerosene and other fuels.

Cuba's crude oil production is not high, but there is still a little bit. Diego got some tanker trucks to extract crude oil in Cuba and transported it to the Cienfuegos refinery for production.

In order to get the fuel that can withstand the nuclear winter as soon as possible, Diego forced the workers to start repairing the refinery. However, this reckless behavior quickly ran into trouble. A large number of workers became weak, coughed up blood, and died quickly after two or three days of work. Even several precious engineers died.

But Diego did not stop there. He used his own armed forces to annex a large number of guerrillas in Cuba, and then arrested civilians in other cities near Havana to carry out this dangerous work.

Since the Cuban National Liberation Front that originally ruled Havana was almost dead in the nuclear bomb attack, the rulers of northern Cuba became these Mexicans for a while.

In just five days, Diego obtained the first barrel of kerosene by means of local oil refining. Although the oil is not good, it is enough to make people shivering in the cold give a whole lot of cheer.

When Zhou Qingfeng led the team to Havana, Diego had used the weapons and equipment left by the Cuban military to gather tens of thousands of Mexicans and Cubans and established a simple regime. Faced with the threat of death in the last days, Cubans are supporting this foreign ruler.

But all this is not without cost, and Diago himself has undergone a certain mutation due to excessive radiation. His skin became dry, wrinkled and even festered, his hair fell out a lot, his face was old, his eye sockets were sunken, and he looked like a zombie.

But Diego miraculously did not die, he became slow in action, but became extremely resistant to various injuries. For example, when others were half frozen to death in the cold wind, he was fine in a thin black robe. His brain didn't degenerate either, it just became colder and more brutal. Such a change made his subordinates respect him even more, even worshiping him as a god.

What Zhou Qingfeng met now was such an opponent. When he found that someone had seized Havana, he could only choose to go ashore in Matanzas, south of Havana. He was accompanied by an armed force of two hundred men.

Matanzas is an important industrial city in Cuba and the capital of the province of Matanzas. The population of the province was about one million before the Cataclysm. That's right, a province with a population of one million, please don't compare it with a country with a random city of tens of millions of people.

The residents of this city did not respond to the arrival of Zhou Qingfeng and others, and they all stayed at home waiting to die as if they had been frozen stupid. In some houses, even the whole family died without anyone collecting them.

"Burn some hot water, get some food, and make the people here warmer. We need them, even if they can't be guides, they can be cannon fodder!" Zhou Qingfeng gave the order, and the city became a little popular. Many people seemed to wake up from a frozen state after drinking some hot porridge, crying loudly.

The city of Matanzas originally had a population of half a million. Now..., it would be nice to have 100,000 living people. Although the industrial capacity of this city is not as good as that of Havana, at least it can be compared with a town in a certain perverted country. The most important thing is that at least it has not been hit by a nuclear bomb!

"This is 100 kilometers away from Havana, we need to use this place as an attack base." Zhou Qingfeng called out the accompanying commanding officer Rom, "Take 50 people and go to the citizens to recruit soldiers. I need at least 1,000 cannon fodder. Tell those who are dying of freezing and starving that they must listen to us if they want to live.

Also, get in touch with Lena Fox and ask her to send me an industry assessment team. Matanzas still has some industrial capabilities, maybe we should use the facilities and resources here. "

Just when Zhou Qingfeng was about to start some construction and slowly plan for 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 there?" Diago was now wrapped in a black robe, even with a mask on his face, his voice was hoarse as if something was rubbing against it.

"About a thousand people." Diego's subordinates felt that it would not hurt to exaggerate.

"A thousand people." Diego doesn't like people appearing in his sphere of influence, even if Matanzas is a hundred kilometers away from him, but he instinctively feels threatened, "Let General Dabin take two infantry battalions to take They chased them away and let this group know they shouldn't be in my sight." (To be continued.)
