Chapter 775 Depression

Rumbling propellers stirred the air, and a light transport plane with obvious patches slowly landed from the sky, and stopped after only sliding more than a hundred meters on the rough and uneven ground.

Before the propellers stopped, the cabin door of the plane opened, and several burly men in warm leather jackets and holding 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 not bad."

After the light transport plane came to a complete stop, dozens of people immediately surrounded the rough runway, shouting, ‘What did you bring this time? Do you have medicine? ’ ‘We want some fresh vegetables and meat’ ‘Women? I have a couple of pretty girls in their teens here, absolutely classy. '

Amidst the quarrel, the leading man shot his gun in the sky, and cursed loudly, "Be quiet, everyone."

Gunshots rang out, but the crowd wasn't too scared. Instead, an old man in his fifties came out, opened his arms and laughed and said, "Walker, can't you come earlier, you little bastard? Do you know that we are waiting for you?" Three days?"

"Old fellow, please be content. The cargo ship of 'Aurora Legion' only comes every half a month, and each time it comes, it only carries more than 10,000 tons of cargo, but there are at least two million people waiting to distribute the cargo. You know I don’t know that people would even die in order to get the goods.”

The leader known as Walker complained several times, and said: "If I hadn't been lucky enough to buy this transport plane, you would still have to suffer in the ice and snow."

The transport plane landed in Quebec City, Canada. As the country with the largest land area per capita, people here deal with cold, ice and snow all year round. Compared with the large numbers of people in the tropics who were frozen to death, many Canadians survived.

It's just that no matter how good the cold zone life skills are, they can't withstand the nuclear winter for a few months. When the supplies gradually decrease, Canadians have to go out to save themselves. Where can they go? America. But the United States is also a mess!

The strong man named Walker went through untold hardships, led the team to New York, and even met David Lawrence of the Brotherhood of Steel. But for the Canadians' request for help, Lord Lawrence also said that he could do nothing-maybe you can consider doing business, but giving away supplies is out of the question.

In this way, Walker shouldered the heavy responsibility of dumping supplies, but everyone lacked things like food, medicine, tobacco and alcohol. As for any high-tech products, who the hell cares about any high-tech products these days? The most important thing is to live with a full stomach.

Canada does not produce enough vegetables and meat and has always had to import them. Although the country is rich in oil, the oil refining industry is far away from the origin. The most troublesome thing is that Canada's economic structure is single, most of which are finance, transportation, mining and the like. If it loses foreign trade, it will be finished.

The more scarce supplies are hoarded, which leads to more shortages, because no one wants to sell life-saving things. After several months of torment, finally a super big fool is willing to re-trade - "Aurora Legion" opened the 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 an equal 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 for Havana.

Walker used his Canadian status as an excuse to strengthen the ally relationship between the two sides, and spent a lot of money to get the plane and a small amount of goods from David Lawrence. And after he asked people to move the limited goods off the plane, he dragged the old man who came to greet him to the side.

"I got in touch with the people from 'Aurora Legion'. They want workers with professional skills, especially those who can work in oil refineries. They also need aviation ground staff. They have a lot of passenger planes there. They also need women. Lots of highly educated women."

The old man who was pulled aside was the head of the residents' self-government of Quebec City. He nodded after pondering for a while, but then asked, "Are you sure that the 'Aurora Legion' is a good place to go?"

"I have no idea,

I can't promise you anything. Although I believe that life will improve in another six months, we may not last half a year. "Walker said very realistically, he stomped the hard ground under his feet, "I heard that the problem of land drought is getting worse. "

"Yes, there has been no rain during the entire nuclear winter. Meteorologists said that the nuclear winter has destroyed the atmospheric circulation. Without the change of seasons throughout the year, the rain will not appear again." The old man sighed again, "I will organize It should be possible to call thousands of people out in one fell swoop. But how do we transport people there?"

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

"On what terms? 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 refiners, they definitely want more."

"This is robbery!" The old man was stunned for a moment, but he was helpless, "But we have no choice, right? As long as we can survive, we can only agree."

The cruel reality forces people to sell their materials at the cheapest price, even if the transaction is extremely unequal. Zhou Qingfeng has always wanted to expand his oil refining capacity, but David Lawrence's cooperation in this area is not very happy. Sending some people and getting some equipment is like squeezing toothpaste.

So Zhou Qingfeng simply got rid of David Lawrence and talked directly to the Canadian. Because Canada has a pretty good refining industry, and there is a refinery 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 around. But there is basically nothing in this broken place, and the manufacturing industry is quite backward. Finally, an oil refinery was blown up, and the production capacity has not been restored.

But in the United States, there are industrial facilities everywhere, and they are all quite cutting-edge in technology. Even if you find any larger city in Canada, the industrial production capacity is eight blocks away from Cuba. But now that the end of the world is coming, it gives Zhou Qingfeng a good opportunity to pick up junk and recruit skilled workers.

Regarding the behavior of the 'Aurora Legion' taking advantage of the fire, everyone had no choice but to wish for the transaction to be carried out quickly. After Walker completed his briefing, he returned to his home along the desolate street, 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 in the market, but now the corn has been eaten up and the potatoes are rotting in the ground."

"There is still half a can of maple syrup at home, which is our last reserve, and I plan to keep it for the children."

"Walker, I really tried my best, but all the food in reserve has been eaten up. There are rumors in the city that people have starved to death. If you don't come back, I really don't know what to do?"

Looking at the thin 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 little wolves to eat them.

"Don't worry, don't worry, I've found a way out, we'll get out of this damn place right away. I know where I can live safely."

Walker, who was still a little hesitant at first, made up his mind. Now he feels that it doesn't matter even if the whole city is given to the 'Aurora Legion', as long as his family can be safe. (.)
