Chapter 369 A woman's request for help
Matanzas, shelter camp.
Deng Chengwen ate 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 would not have put chopsticks on such noodles, but now not only him, but the entire shelter camp has eaten with relish.
Every time he ate a few bites of noodles, Deng Chengwen would glance at a row of wooden poles outside the shelter camp. More than thirty corpses were hung on the wooden poles, including Captain Charles, who had bullied them and his follower, Tony Xu. 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 people finally survived. There were so many tragic things happening in the middle.
It was only after Deng Chengwen was saved that he realized that the fleet that escorted them had once had a tragic incident where no one survived the entire cabin. This was also the reason why he was extremely grateful to Zhou Qingfeng after being saved and 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 went to the United States to do business, and he dared not say he was rich, but his net worth was tens of millions of dollars. But now he has been elected as one of the fifteen management committee members of the "Aurora Legion" Chinese camp.
More than 15,000 people in the Chinese camp were young and strong, mostly male, and almost all the elderly and weak died. Deng Chengwen was asked to organize a management team, with the initial task of mining coal mines in the Matanzas region.
None of the more than 10,000 people in the Chinese camp have ever done coal mining work, and Deng Chengwen doesn't understand it at all. But now he can't choose a job, and he has to do it even if he doesn't know. After a few months of the end of the world, everyone understands that if you want to survive, you have to endure hardships.
In addition to mining coal, various working teams were selected, such as those who mined oil and natural gas, those who operated thermal power plants, those who thought about fertilizer plants, and those who organized military training. The original various industries and agriculture in Matanzas began to appear as Chinese.
To be honest, no one understands it, but those who are unable to escape are not picky about it. Moreover, the Chinese people's hardworking and pragmatic characteristics are particularly impressive when encountering disasters. No one wants to return to the situation where their destiny is manipulated in the past.
Zhou Qingfeng, who had harvested these 10,000 compatriots, wanted to shout a few times. He now found that he was harvesting core members 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 had only 500 people brought out from New York. Those people had suffered and suffered, and had worked hard together to recognize 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-term process to gain the recognition of these people.
Now this group of compatriots is different. Everyone is Chinese, so they have a sense of identity with each other. After being rescued, Zhou Qingfeng used an electric speaker to tell the current situation in the crowd and let them have a few full meals. Many people cried and expressed their gratitude to him.
Zhou Qingfeng can call up a virtual screen at the corner of his eyes, with the number of core members recognized by him. In just two days, this number exceeded one thousand. In other words, he can now open the time and space gate without limit and maintain one minute at any time.
However, Zhou Qingfeng did not immediately start transporting supplies on a large scale. He decided to digest all of these 5,000 compatriots, and dare not say that they would turn them into core members. However, at least there must be more than 5,000 people who can completely obey orders and fight, kill and work.
With this 5,000 people as basic forces, Zhou Qingfeng discussed with Lena about transferring some of the people in Nassau to Matanzas. He prepared to transfer 10,000 people in advance, and rebuild the existing production system of Matanzas as much as possible to better cope with the difficult environment of the end of the world.
However, there is good news and there is also bad news - General Fedro, who originally occupied Guantanamo's base, could not hold on. He avoided the nuclear bomb attack and saved his life, but after returning to his lair, he was completely unable to resist the nuclear winter.
In order to save himself, General Fedro could only send his wife Mirta out to ask for help from the "Aurora Legion". Now anyone with a discerning eye knows that the "Aurora Legion" is probably the most comfortable life in the end of the world.
Mirta gritted his teeth and went to Nassau first, but learned that Zhou Qingfeng was in Cuba, and she rushed to Matanzas again. However, when it comes to her request for help, Zhou Qingfeng could only say that he could not help, "I'm sorry, we are all saving ourselves, we can't help you."
"It's not that you can't help, you don't want to help at all." Mirta almost rushed over when she saw Zhou Qingfeng at first sight. But after being rejected, she was so sad that she almost wanted to bite Zhou Qingfeng a few times. "Do you just have the heart to watch millions of people die in hunger and cold?"
"Millions?" Zhou Qingfeng took a deep breath and said expressionlessly: "I watched billions of people die, watched human beings fall into destruction, and the earth enters the end of the world. Don't use it as an excuse to blame me for things that are beyond my ability."
Mirta's eyes suddenly became sharp and she said in a deep voice: "Did you really foresee the nuclear bombs destroy the world?"
"I won't admit this." Zhou Qingfeng sneered: "Based on our recent contact with other remaining forces in the world, everyone believes that the predicted nuclear strike was Mr. David Lawrence, the leader of the Northern Iron and Steel Brotherhood."
"You're talking nonsense, you've known this for a long time." Mirta suddenly felt excited, but he said calmly: "Victor, I beg you. How can you help us? Do you want to become the Lord of Cuba? We can completely recognize your right to rule over Cuba, as long as you come and help us."
"Oh..., the title of the Lord of Cuba sounds good." Based on the principle of uniting all strength, Zhou Qingfeng actually nodded and said, "It is not impossible to obtain survival support from me. But please take Havana down and there is an oil refinery where I want.
Also, we are trying to use various local resources in Cuba, but the locals always have a numb, exclusion, and even hostile attitude towards us. I need you to eliminate the trouble in this regard. You can be the Cuban Commissioner of our Aurora Legion and become a subordinate of Lena Fox.”
This is far from the aid Mirta imagined, but she also understands that this is the best condition she can win. The Aurora Legion has a complete and efficient management team and the ability to restore human civilization. Only by joining them can we survive with them.
"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 hold up her chin. She asked in a little panic: "What are you doing?"
"I want to see your face." Zhou Qingfeng said, he always wanted to see the appearance under Mirta's veil.
But Mirta felt like he was shocked, and hurriedly took a few steps back and said dejectedly: "Victor, don't do this, leave me some dignity. My face..., my face has been destroyed. You will only hate it when you see it."
