Great time travel

Episode [-]: The Days of Leaving Wang Qiu
When most of Europe was struggling with plague, war and anarchy, Lisbon, the capital of the Portuguese Republic, finally relied on quarantine, martial law, nationwide military control and border blockades, and more importantly, benefited from neighboring countries. Spain's strict defense of the land border of the Iberian Peninsula, barely maintained the most basic order, and did not fall into a more tragic purgatory.

In the grim situation that the European continent is about to fall as a whole, Spain and Portugal have to completely tear off the pretense of human rights and freedom, cut off land and sea traffic by blowing up bridges and tunnels, laying mines and sea mines, and use armed helicopters to bombard illegal The smuggled refugee boats massacred foreign refugee groups with thermobaric bombs, incendiary bombs, and poison gas, and even shot down refugee airliners that broke into the country with missiles. The massacre field full of corpses was able to withstand the crazy attack of armed refugees on the country's border.

As for crimes such as humanitarian crisis... At this moment when the nation is on the verge of genocide, who else cares so much? !
And there were not many pagan immigrants in the two countries, and they were all imprisoned in concentration camps long before the outbreak of the plague.At the same time, on the eve of the outbreak of the plague, the political situation in Spain and Portugal was still relatively stable. They did not fall into major turmoil like France, Germany, and the United Kingdom, and the government still had strong executive power.In addition, the place where the plague first appeared was far away in Central and Eastern Europe, so the two countries were given a certain buffer time.

But even though they racked their brains and strictly guarded against death, the border police and militias of the Portuguese Republic and the Kingdom of Spain failed to stop the pervasive "Lucifer Plague" and finally fell on the land of the Iberian Peninsula.Starting from Barcelona, ​​which is adjacent to the Mediterranean Sea and has been hit by the refugee fleet, one city after another has fallen. At first, the hospital was overwhelmed and turned into a morgue. Doctors and nurses died of illness or fled.Then there are thousands of corpses rotting directly in the streets, no one dares to approach, no one dares to bury.Many unfortunate families died in their homes in just a few days, and the government had to order the houses to be pulled down to bury the bodies, and gasoline was even poured on them for disinfection.

Although the Spanish and Portuguese governments have adopted the strictest isolation control measures, due to the delay in getting vaccines and specific medicines, in some cities and towns on the Iberian Peninsula, the death toll still reached about half.The entire Iberian Peninsula also permanently lost a tenth of its population within a few months.What's even more frightening is that, unlike the case of smallpox, even those survivors who once relied on their own immune system to temporarily survive the "Lucifer Plague" did not obtain long-lasting immunity, but would have it in a short time. possibility of re-infection.

Fortunately, at this most dangerous moment, the Chinese medical department finally developed a specific medicine to treat the "Lucifer Plague".Relying on the special drugs delivered by emergency airlift, the governments of Spain and Portugal finally stabilized their positions again, dispelled the panic among the people in their countries that they were on the verge of explosions, and thwarted repeated riots by terrorists and armed bandits abroad.As for the millions of refugees who are still wandering across the Pyrenees... this, they can only ask for their own blessings.Even if there is a cure for the plague now, God knows how many terrorists and cultists there are among these refugees, what will happen to the security and stability issues after they are released?What's more, today's international trade is basically interrupted, and the Spaniards and Portuguese themselves are implementing strict food rationing systems. If they take in so many refugees all at once, what should they eat?What to drink?Is it necessary to let the citizens of the country starve voluntarily and save food exports to support those foreigners with ulterior motives?Such a decision is simply insane!

In any case, despite the above-mentioned regrets and shortcomings, in general, the situation is still developing towards the good side.

However, at this moment when the dawn came, a piece of desperate bad news once again drove the Europeans into the dark abyss...

——Hundreds of nuclear power plants in the UK, France, Germany, Belgium, and Italy, as well as related factories that produce and process nuclear fuel, as well as military nuclear submarines and nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, after months of chaos and out of control , There have been serious leaks one after another!

A super-large-scale nuclear pollution incident, which was a hundred times more serious than Chernobyl, suddenly fell on the troubled Europeans.

But this time, no members of the Soviet Red Army and the Communist Youth League who risked their lives rushed to the nuclear power plant...

"...This is really... really choking! Could it be that a radiation cloud was blown over by the wind?"

Standing on the side of the evacuation cruise ship, looking at the numbers beeping and beeping on the Geiger counter in her hand, Ms. Ma Tong couldn't help but feel her scalp tingling, and even retreated quietly in her heart, and even got off the ship. I lost all thoughts of interviewing in downtown Lisbon.

——Of course, although the numbers on the Geiger counter seem scary, in fact, even if you stay in this environment for a week, the total amount of radiation that each person receives is only equivalent to taking an X-ray in the hospital It's just a piece.However, in the absence of problems with the Spanish nuclear power plant (there is no nuclear power plant in Portugal), this radiation data is enough to prove that something very terrible must be happening in the Pyrenees...

She sighed and looked up, and there was a sea of ​​people and a bustling scene on the pier.The Chinese marines who came with the evacuation fleet have already established a checkpoint on the pier. With the cooperation of the local embassy staff, they are escorting the Chinese nationals with their families and children to board the ship. evacuate.Thousands of expatriates and their family members lined up in a long line in an orderly manner, each holding a small national flag in their hands, with relieved smiles on their faces—for this one ticket to return home from Europe, many expatriates Have been waiting on the dock for a week!
Among these returned overseas Chinese, there are also many very beautiful white girls and lolis, all of whom are registered as "spouse" or "adopted daughter".Seeing that most of their husbands are crooked, one can imagine how much sacrifice these beauties made in order to escape from Europe.

Well, it's fine for the sisters to spend and so on, but I hope there won't be any "ghost father" or mother and daughter "take-all" scandals in the future.

In addition to the Marines maintaining order and the Chinese expatriates queuing up to board the ship, there were crowds of people crowded around the pier, tens of thousands of people gathered at one time.There are white people and black people among them, one by one carrying luggage and holding children, the noise is overwhelming, basically they all want to escape the Iberian Peninsula by boat after hearing the bad news of the collective leak of nuclear power plants in Britain and France people of European countries.

At this moment, they are watching these Chinese boarding and leaving with envious and jealous eyes, wishing they could follow suit.However, the muzzles of the Chinese Marine Corps and the sizzling electric shock batons did not leave any chance for these people to fish in troubled waters.From time to time, some people were too emotional and tried to push the Chinese marines blocking the front, but they were unceremoniously stunned.

——After learning the bad news about large-scale leaks from nuclear power plants in Western European countries, even those who are most attached to their hometowns have no confidence in being able to continue living in nuclear radiation-contaminated areas: there is currently a cure for the plague, and the gangsters can use guns to resist, but how can nuclear radiation be resisted?

But the problem is that as early as the outbreak of the "Lucifer Plague", European countries have set off a frenzy of fleeing across the sea.From cruise ships to cargo ships to fishing boats, almost all ships on the European continent that could be used to escape have been driven away at that time, and they have never returned.For example, a certain Spanish refugee successfully fled to South America across the Atlantic Ocean with his family in a [-]-ton sloop.

Therefore, those Portuguese and Spaniards who have been dawdling until now before thinking of fleeing across the sea have found it difficult to find ships that can go to sea—those guys who drove the boat away before basically went to No return, very few people will drive the boat back to pick up people.

Although the air route from Lisbon to the Americas has not been completely closed yet, at this time, air tickets to go abroad can only be bought with gold, and gold alone is not enough, and connections and connections are needed got it.So ordinary people can only run to the port to try their luck, to see if they can catch the Chinese evacuation fleet: if they really can’t go to the Americas, it seems good to be able to escape to East Asia or Australia...

However, based on what Ma Tong knows, at this moment, even if Europeans like them really go to sea by boat, it is difficult 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 no continent in the world is spared.Even in China, which took the lead in developing specific medicines, the death toll in this plague has reached an unprecedented nearly one million.The plague situation in the countries of America, Southeast Asia, and Oceania was even worse, with the death toll reaching tens of millions, and the people were already full of panic and hostility.

Under the panic brought about by the biohazard, violent incidents of attacking and robbing refugees occurred all over the world, and the governments of most of the countries that are still functioning have closed their borders and refused to accept refugees.Even the few countries that are willing to accept refugees have strict quotas, and upon entering the country, they will be quarantined in concentration camps.Nowadays, the oceans all over the world are full of dirty, tattered and desperate refugee ships, scurrying around like headless chickens, trying to find a rich country willing to take them in, but they are repeatedly frustrated and expelled .

Some of these refugee ships were about to run out of food, water and fuel, and were forced to break into the chaotic countries in Africa that were plagued by plagues and collapsed governments, but rich in resources, trying to try their luck to occupy the mountains and become kings.There are also some refugee ships that have simply turned into pirates. Due to the collapse of global shipping and no ships to snatch, they simply frequently attack coastal ports and wantonly burn, kill and loot, which further enhances the bad feeling and hostility of governments and people towards sea refugees .

——Nowadays, the major oceans of the earth are almost entering the era of great pirates.

While Ms. Ma Tong was so thoughtful, she suddenly noticed that there seemed to be smoke and flames appearing behind the shadowy buildings in the distance, and she could faintly hear the crackling sound like thunder, so she took out a pocket The binoculars, looking towards where the smoke and flames are rising.Immediately, the city of Lisbon in the distance was already devastated and full of riots. All kinds of thugs were wandering openly in the streets, killing people and setting fire everywhere. Some of them were armed with machetes, steel pipes, axes and Molotov cocktails. There are also those holding pistols or throwing grenades, and some people are even shooting around with automatic rifles. The intensity of the exchange of fire has almost reached the level of "quasi-war".Although the Portuguese army and police are still trying their best to suppress it, and even drove out tanks and armored vehicles, killing blood on the streets, but the mobs in the urban area are still invincible, and the gunshots continue.

Seeing that the downtown area of ​​Lisbon was already looking like barricades and street fighting, Ms. Ma Tong, who cherished her own life, suddenly became more and more afraid to get off the boat and take risks in the city.However, due to the responsibility, it is impossible not to make some news.So she looked around and found a secretary of the Chinese embassy in Portugal on the deck. She was going to ask him about the situation, do an exclusive interview, and then make do with writing a manuscript.

"...Why is the city of Lisbon so chaotic? Hehe, since the news of the nuclear leak spread, there have been riots in the city for three full days."

To Ms. Ma Tong's question, the secretary with a haggard face and bloodshot eyes replied with a wry smile, "...the government troops in Portugal and Spain are in a mess. , and at least a quarter of the pile is left unattended at the airport!"

"...is it so chaotic?" After hearing the news from the secretary, Ms. Ma Tong couldn't help being slightly surprised, "...then, what about the actual situation of nuclear leaks in European countries? What about it? Do you have any more accurate information here? I have been staying on the ship for the past few days, and I don’t know much about the outside world. Rumors are flying all over the country..."

"... How should I put it? The nuclear pollution situation in Europe is indeed very serious. According to the information obtained from satellite reconnaissance and aerial photography, in European countries excluding Russia, there are currently 39 nuclear power plants and two nuclear power plants. Leakage problems have occurred in the factories, among which two nuclear power plants in the UK and one in Ukraine have even exploded directly, and the leakage and spread of radioactive materials are extremely serious!"

The secretary replied, "... As for whether these nuclear leaks were terrorist incidents created by terrorists and doomsday cultists, or simply because the staff of the nuclear power plant fled, the nuclear power plant was left unmanaged and eventually lost control and caused an accident. It is currently unknown. And it seems that there is no way to investigate carefully—under the current extremely chaotic situation, no one has the power to organize and send a team to the site of the nuclear leak to investigate..."

"...It sounds really scary..." Ms. Ma Tong said suddenly, "...Isn't there a way to save it?"

"...Hehe, who else is going to take care of this mess now? The current Europe is even more chaotic than Somalia and Syria back then!"

The secretary spread his hands helplessly, "...the governments of Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Belgium, and the Netherlands are already finished, and Eastern European countries can't take care of themselves. Do you expect those white right-wing extremists to understand nuclear power? Or do you think terrorists will? Want to save the nuclear crisis?

The governments of countries such as Portugal and Spain that have survived for the time being also cannot gather so many professional nuclear power plant emergency 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 must know that there are at least 200 nuclear reactors that are out of control in Europe at present. In the current situation of chaos, who can manage it?

Moreover, the sea and land transportation lines to these nuclear power plants have been cut off at present, and all personnel and equipment have to be transported by helicopter and airborne. Even the current air route may not be safe, because in the great turmoil of the collapse of European countries, the There is a large amount of weapons lost.Therefore, certain terrorists and cultists with ulterior motives may have mastered a large number of shoulder-fired individual air defense missiles.In addition, according to some seemingly unreliable rumors, even the nuclear weapons of France and Israel have been lost to terrorists-in short, no power in Europe today can complete such a difficult rescue task.As for the United States and NATO... Hey, the US government officially announced the dissolution of NATO at noon yesterday, and will no longer assume any obligations to the European allies.The troops stationed in Europe and the United States even withdrew before that, and some were destroyed..."

Hearing the news of NATO's disbandment, Ms. Ma Tong was filled with embarrassment, but her heart was calm.Because there were signs of this before.In the midst of the great plague and terrorist attacks that have swept the world, the United States, the "leader of the free world", is also the focus of terrorist attacks. The local states have not been left behind from riots to self-destructs to plagues. It's overwhelmed and overwhelmed.

In fact, as early as the beginning of the turmoil in Europe, the United States was already tired of the endless ally obligations, and many people began to propose to abandon the global strategy, return to isolationism, and return to the mainland. With the natural barrier of the two oceans, once again Hibernate to hide your strength and bide your time, waiting for the next opportunity to rise.And after the "Lucifer Plague" swept the world, the severely damaged United States could only shrink its strategy no matter how reluctant it was.

"... What's more, even the Europeans themselves have chosen to give up now. The Spanish Royal Government has left the mainland on the European continent and moved to the Canary Islands in the Atlantic Ocean this morning. And the Portuguese government will also tomorrow Or transfer to the Azores the day after tomorrow..."

After a moment of silence, the secretary went on to say, "...So, after your evacuation fleet completes its mission, we diplomats will also retreat together... Hey, it's really hard to leave Europe this time. I know when I'll be back."

He sighed and raised his face, squinting at the smoky dilapidated city in front of him, "...what will Europe be like in the future?"

Listening to the secretary's emotion, Ms. Ma Tong also felt sorry for her: Although the strong ships and guns of the Westerners opened the door of China, shattered the Chinese people's "dream of going to the country", and brought endless prosperity to the land of China. pain and disaster.But it is undeniable that since modern times, the once remote and backward continent of Europe has become the center of civilization for all mankind.Almost all important elements such as science and technology, social contracts, logical thinking, financial credit, and humanistic concepts that constitute modern society come from this small land.Without Europe there would be no modern civilization as everyone knows it.

However, this birthplace of modern civilization seems to be about to enter the grave in a painful sinking... Ms. Ma Tong is really hard to be optimistic about whether Europe can recover from the ashes after the catastrophe: the past troubled Europe The linguistic, ethnic and cultural issues of civilization integration have not been resolved by any of them today.The religious conflicts that had been downplayed in Europe have intensified again with the flying of the crescent flag...

All in all, the lights of traditional European civilization are about to go out, and it is impossible to turn them back on for a long time in the future.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Just as the two people on the deck were looking sadly at the street scene of Lisbon, they heard a sudden burst of fierce shouting and warning shots from the pier below.Ms. Ma Tong leaned over the railing and looked down, only to find that the locals and European refugees who wanted to smuggle across the boat had broken through the blockade at some point and were making trouble on the pier close to the side of the ship, trying to force their way Come on board!
——Before, in order to stop the restless citizens and refugees outside, the Chinese marines temporarily set up a circle of fortifications on the pier, and used riot shields to form a human wall to block the entrance and exit.However, as a limited number of more than 2000 expatriates and their families boarded the ship, the marines in charge of security also withdrew to the ship one after another, and the originally impregnable shield wall and fortification line of defense suddenly collapsed.

Taking advantage of this brief gap, a large group of whites and blacks rushed over. They stretched their arms one by one, screaming like zombies, or trying to squeeze onto the springboard and gangway, or The Chinese marines and embassy diplomats who were too late to board the ship kept pushing, shoving and even biting, causing chaos in the scene.Amidst the deafening noise, Ms. Ma Tong keenly noticed that behind these guys who were frantically flocking to board the ship, there were still a few leading guys who were calmly instigating and directing, and even held up their tweeters and spoke in French. Shouting something loudly.

Listening carefully, it turned out to be instigating, saying that the 5000-ton cruise ship on the pier can hold at least 2000 people if it is squeezed, and the Chinese people who boarded the ship just now did not exceed [-] people at most, which means that the Chinese people must be on board. There's a lot of space, you'll have to get on board if you want to survive...

"...Eh? Is there really a lot of spare space on this ship? Why can't we take a few more refugees?"

The secretary of the embassy also knew French, so she couldn't help but feel a little dazed after hearing this, so she turned around and asked Ms. Ma Tong.

"...it is true that there are still extra spaces, and there are still three empty ships that have not docked at all. But on the return journey, the fleet will go to Lagos in Nigeria and Dakar in Senegal, and there is this time The bulk of the evacuation operation, there are 3 to [-] people who need to be brought back to China!"

Ms. Ma Tong replied, "...So, we have neither the obligation nor the ability to take away these foreigners on the shore. Besides, these guys who want to rub the boat don't look like good people, and they are probably doing something bad. Thoughts. It's better not to ask for trouble..."

While they were 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 warn the crowd on the trestle, and swept the shuttle into the sky with a "boom tom tom".Accompanied by loud gunshots and conspicuous sound and light impacts, those white and black people who were rushing forward seemed to have been whipped, and finally regained their sense a little, and retreated in disorder.

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 such a short blink of an eye, several of them were obviously bleeding, covered in bruises, and even their clothes were stained red.

Next, without waiting for the crazy crowd on the shore to come over again, the sailors on the cruise pulled out the gangplank, locked the cabin door, put away the gangway, and at the same time stowed the anchor chain as fast as possible, and they were about to set sail for the sea .But those who wanted to rub the boat did not give up. A desperate cry suddenly sounded from the crowded crowd. The next moment, a rocket launcher fired at the cruise ship from there, and the jet tail flames burned a large group of people. People, and the rocket hit the huge and heavy target accurately, and a bright and dazzling spark exploded 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-going cruise ship of tens of thousands of tons.When the flames of the explosion dissipated, the furious sailors began to fight back, and gunshots rang out on the deck again, splashing countless blood among the crowd by the pier.One after another, the shot corpses fell down one after another, with blood flowing all over the ground and their skulls shattered.The rest of the people fled in fright.

Immediately afterwards, the warship in charge of the escort also fired violently at the pier, hitting the oil tanks and cars on the shore, and bright flames shot straight into the sky in an instant.

——In this way, in the background of explosions and flames, the Chinese evacuation fleet slowly left the port of Lisbon.

Seeing the buildings in Lisbon and the coastline of the Iberian Peninsula gradually disappearing into the horizon, Ms. Ma Tong breathed a sigh of relief.

As a former infinite space reincarnation with rich experience, she is also used to seeing the collapse of civilization and the destruction of the country, but seeing such a catastrophe scene appearing in her home world with her own eyes, Ma Tong still couldn't help feeling a little melancholy and sad. sad.

However, in any case, this trip to Europe finally ended so-so.The "Lucifer Plague" sweeping the world has also been contained.At the same time, many contradictions accumulated in human civilized society for a long time 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. There is enough living space for the rest of the people.As for the survivors after the catastrophe, how to forget hatred, live in harmony, learn to understand each other, burn those ugly and evil things in religious culture, try to transform and evolve in pain, work together to clean up nuclear pollution, and build their new home... …that is the task of the next generation.

Although the process and the result are not good, the most painful disaster has passed after all, and the next task is to use time to heal the trauma.

However, just as Ms. Ma Tong was thinking in this way, she was suddenly startled by a series of sharp sirens.The next moment, she was stunned to see that an extraordinary white light pierced the eastern sky, and the scream of "nuclear explosion" rang in her ears at the same time.

——Withdrawing the foreword, it seems that the horrible catastrophe that is sweeping the world now has no intention of ending soon...

A moment later, feeling the scorching heat mixed with the sea breeze, looking at the mushroom cloud rising slowly on the European coastline in the distance, as well as the crew members and passengers who were scrambling and yelling, Ms. Ma Tong closed her eyes helplessly, and at the same time Deep down in his heart, he sighed silently.

PS: To answer some readers’ questions, oil is indeed not only a fuel, but also a chemical raw material. After the application of nuclear fusion, Saudi Arabia and Iraq can still continue to rely on exporting oil to make money.But the global oil price will inevitably fall, and the consumer market will also shrink.In other words, the income from oil exports of Middle Eastern countries will decline for quite a long time.However, the population of these countries has increased by more than ten times compared to before independence, and it is still expanding, but they only know how to read scriptures and do not understand technology.Not to mention the reduction of oil dividends, even if the dividends stop growing, the country is in danger of collapse, so we can only play civil war reduction or great ethnic migration.
