Three Hundred and Sixtieth IX The Woman's Request for Help
Matanzas, the camp.
Deng Chengwen slurped the food in the bowl, and a bowl of noodles with only oil and salt without any side dishes became a rare delicacy in his mouth. In the past, he didn't know how to use chopsticks for such noodles, but now not only him, but everyone in the camp eats them with gusto.
Every time he ate a few mouthfuls of noodles, Deng Chengwen glanced at the row of wooden poles outside the camp. There were more than 30 corpses hanging from the wooden pole, including Captain Charles and his follower Tony Xu who had oppressed them. The pleasure of revenge made him feel comfortable.
Deng Chengwen didn't want to recall the past. More than 20,000 people went to sea, but only 15,000 survived. Too many tragic things happened in the process.
It was only after Deng Chengwen was rescued that he found out that the fleet that escorted them had experienced a tragedy in which no one survived in the entire cabin. This is also the reason why he was extremely grateful to Zhou Qingfeng after he was saved, and was willing to hang out with him.
Deng Chengwen already knew about the 'Aurora Legion', the current situation, and the future situation. He was originally a Chinese businessman who came to the United States to do business. He dare not say that he is a rich man, but his net worth is tens of millions of dollars. But now he has been elected as one of the fifteen management committee members of the 'Aurora Legion' Chinese Battalion.
The more than 15,000 people in the Chinese camp are young and strong, most of them are men, and almost all the old and weak are dead. Deng Chengwen was asked to organize a management team, and the initial task was to mine the coal mines in the Matanzas area.
None of the more than 10,000 people in the China Camp had ever done coal digging, and Deng Chengwen didn't understand it at all. But now I can't choose a job, and I have to do it if I don't. After going through the months of the last days, everyone understands that if they want to survive, they have to endure hardships.
In addition to mining coal, various work teams were selected, such as those who exploit oil and natural gas, those who control thermal power plants, those who consider fertilizer plants, and those who are organized for military training. Naqi?
To be honest, everyone doesn't understand it, but those who escaped from the catastrophe are not picky about it. Moreover, the hard-working and pragmatic characteristics of the Chinese people are particularly outstanding in the face of disasters. No one wants to go back to the situation where their fate was manipulated in the past.
And Zhou Qingfeng, who had harvested 15,000 compatriots, almost wanted to shout to the sky, he now found that the speed of harvesting core members was several times faster than before.
The so-called core members are those who recognize Zhou Qingfeng and are willing to obey his orders. Originally, Zhou Qingfeng's core members were only 500 people brought out from New York. Those people had endured hardships, suffered hardships with Zhou Qingfeng, and worked hard together before they recognized his leadership position.
Most of the 25,000 people recruited from Florida not long ago didn't even know what Zhou Qingfeng looked like. It would take a long time to gain the approval of this group of people.
Now this group of compatriots is different,
We are all Chinese and have a sense of identity with each other. After being rescued, Zhou Qingfeng explained the current situation to the crowd with a loudspeaker, and then gave them a few full meals. Many people cried and expressed their gratitude to him.
Zhou Qingfeng can call up a virtual screen in the corner of his eyes, which shows the number of core members who recognize him. In just two days, this number broke through one thousand. In other words, he can open the time and space door without limit at any time and maintain it for one minute.
However, Zhou Qingfeng did not immediately start a large-scale transport of supplies. He decided to digest all of these more than 15,000 compatriots. He dare not say that they will all become core members, but at least there must be more than 5,000 people who can fully obey orders. Can beat and kill people who can work.
With these 15,000 people as the basic force, Zhou Qingfeng discussed with Lina to transfer some people from Nassau to Matanzas. Prepare to transfer 10,000 people in advance, and try to re-establish the existing production system in Matanzas as much as possible, so as to better cope with the difficult environment of the end of the world.
But there is good news and there is not bad news-General Fedro, who originally occupied the Guantanamo base, couldn't hold on. He escaped the nuclear bomb attack and saved his life, but when he returned to his lair, he was completely unable to withstand nuclear winter.
In order to save himself, General Federo could only send his wife Mirta out to the 'Aurora Legion' for help. Anyone with a discerning eye now knows that the 'Aurora Legion' is probably the most comfortable life in the last days.
Mirta bit the bullet and went to Nassau first, but when she learned that Zhou Qingfeng was in Cuba, she rushed to Matanzas. But for her request for help, Zhou Qingfeng could only express that he was helpless, "I'm sorry, we are all trying to save ourselves, so there is nothing we can do to help you."
"It's not that you can't help, it's that you don't want to help at all." Mirta almost jumped at Zhou Qingfeng the first time she saw him. But after being rejected, she was so sad and angry that she almost wanted to bite Zhou Qingfeng a few bites. "Do you have the heart to watch millions die of starvation and cold?"
"Millions?" Zhou Qingfeng took a deep breath and said expressionlessly: "I can't bear to watch billions of people die, watch human beings fall into destruction, and watch the earth enter the end times. For me Don't use it as an excuse to accuse me of things beyond my ability."
Mirta's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he said in a deep voice, "Did you really predict that the nuclear bomb would destroy the world?"
"I won't admit this." Zhou Qingfeng sneered, "According to our recent contact with other remaining forces in the world, everyone believes that the one who predicted the nuclear strike was Mr. David Lawrence, the leader of the Northern Brotherhood of Steel."
"You nonsense, you already knew about this." Mirta's emotions were suddenly agitated, but he forcibly said calmly: "Victor, I beg you. How can you help us? You want to become the lord of Cuba Is it? We can fully recognize your right to rule Cuba, as long as you come to help us."
"Oh... the title of Lord of Cuba sounds good." In line with the principle of uniting all forces, Zhou Qingfeng nodded and said: "It is not impossible to get survival support from me. But it is troublesome." You go get me Havana, where I want an oil refinery.
Also, we are trying to make use of various local resources in Cuba, but the locals always hold a numb, repulsive and even hostile attitude towards us. I need you to clear up this mess. You can be the Cuban Affairs Commissioner of our Aurora Legion and become a subordinate of Lena Fox. "
This is far from the assistance Mirta imagined, but she also understands that this is the best condition she can get. The "Aurora Legion" has a complete and efficient management team, and has the ability to restore human civilization. Only by joining them can we live together.
"Okay, I agree to do it with you." Mirta stood in front of Zhou Qingfeng and sighed, but found that Zhou Qingfeng actually reached out to support her chin. She asked with a little panic, "What are you going to do?"
"I want to see your face." Zhou Qingfeng said, he always wanted to see Mirta's face under the veil.
But Mirta stepped back hurriedly as if being shocked by an electric shock, and said dejectedly: "Victor, don't do this, give me some dignity. My face..., my face has been destroyed. You saw only would be disgusting."
The woman's voice was extremely sad, making people's hearts sink.
