In the previous life of the earth, the oil resources in the Middle East were simply the wealth given to them by God.
The huge reserves of shallow oil were widely distributed, allowing them to easily produce thousands of barrels of crude oil without requiring advanced oil extraction technology.
In addition, deep oil exists in other areas such as Siberia, Alaska, and Yugoslavia.
If it were not for the reasons of mining technology and mining history, there would be no so-called shortage of oil resources.
But it is different in this world.
Almost all oil fields in the world exist only in the Middle East, but the reserves are not even one-tenth of what they were in the previous life.
After hundreds of years of exploitation, they are already on the verge of drying up and cannot maintain global supply. operating oil resources.
As for the oil fields in other regions, they are all small-scale oil fields and will be exhausted in a few years.
Even the oil fields in Alaska currently discovered can only be extracted for more than ten or twenty years.
But now at the end of 2059, the oil resources in the Middle East are on the verge of exhaustion, which has almost affected the daily fuel needs.
For civilians, gasoline, diesel and other supplies can no longer be purchased.
By 2060, the oil resources in the Middle East will completely dry up, and the world will be plunged into an oil crisis.
Except for the fuel needed for the military, all fuel for daily civilians has been cancelled.
Of course, this is also the reason why the world is vigorously developing nuclear energy and has surpassed the nuclear technology of previous generations in just a dozen years.
"Even the supply of gasoline is limited, which seems a little bad."
Slowly frowning, Liszt looked out the window at the depressed streets.
The sparse crowds and vehicles seemed to make the small town enter twilight.
A large number of citizens chose to move away from this small town, and it was not a must-pass point for traffic.
In half a month, it simply deteriorated.
And when he saw a police car driving slowly not far away, he couldn't help but think of a city, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's exactly the same as Detroit."
Detroit was the strongest industrial city in the United States in its previous life and an unrivaled automobile city.
It is also the same in this life.
But as the oil crisis became more violent in the world, Detroit's glory also took a turn for the worse at the very last moment.
It declined into an empty city in almost two or three years.
Law and order, crime, drug and other cases emerged one after another.
Normal people want to escape. come out, and the criminals are not willing to get involved in this dirty quagmire.
It can be said that the most notorious city in the United States, or the place where bad people gather, is Detroit.
"Hey, Liszt, why are you so negative?
Let's go have a drink tonight."
The black young man Gary on the side is still stupid and bold, even if the sky falls.
Even if Liszt told him the fact that a nuclear war would break out in more than ten years, he would probably scoff at it.
He would go to nightclubs as he likes, and be as chic as he likes.
Chic.
Perhaps this is the tradition of black people fearing nothing.
Liszt felt a little envious of this fool's life.
The stereo in the car had been turned up to a high volume, and the rhythmic old-fashioned sound made him couldn't help but nod his head and move his body quite happily.
But he suddenly remembered something.
He controlled the steering wheel with one hand, took out two bottles from the back seat with the other hand, threw one to Liszt, bit off the bottle cap with his teeth and drank a gulp.
Take a big sip, and then exhale a big breath, nodding with satisfaction: "Nuka-Cola has just been chilled, take a big sip now, it's better than a cocktail."
"Nuka Cola" Liszt glanced at the familiar glass bottle and suddenly couldn't help but smile.
Since this drink became popular around the world a few years ago, it has almost become the only soft drink, and its unique taste has conquered everyone's taste buds.
He also bit open the bottle cap with his teeth.
Liszt subconsciously wanted to wave it away and put it in his pocket after hesitating.
However, he shook his head with a wry smile and took a big sip, savoring the stimulating taste that went down his throat.
Next, he let out a long breath: "How pitiful."

"It's too bad that you even put away the bottle caps.
You don't think it's really ten bottle caps for a bottle of Nuka-Cola, do you?"
There were few cars driving on the street, and even the police looked lazy.
Gary raised his head and drank the Nuka-Cola in one breath.
The unique frosty taste made him exhale a long breath.
Then he wiped his mouth with satisfaction, then threw away the empty bottle in his hand, and at the same time teased Liszt: "Don't be ridiculous, one cocktail in the bar is worth more than a dozen bottles of Nuka Cola, and I don't see you more."
Cherish it and vomit when it’s time to vomit.”
"Then at night, you drink a dozen bottles of Nuka-Cola and see if you vomit."
Liszt touched the bottle cap in his pocket, and a subtle feeling of the great era appeared in his heart.
He suddenly found himself on the cusp of a great era, and he seemed to be an omniscient and omnipotent prophet.
This feeling made him feel a little subtle.
Especially when he touched the Nuka-Cola bottle cap in his pocket, which was a strong currency in the radiation wasteland of his previous life, he couldn't help but stretched out on the passenger seat, looked at the car repair shop in front of him, and slowly Said: "Maybe I should change a little bit."
"Liszt, what's wrong with you?
Why haven't I seen you for a month?
Well, no offense, I just suddenly felt that you have become a little strange."
Gary on the side stared at Liszt next to him.
As his eyes widened, the two white spots on his dark skin became quite obvious.
But even though he looks quite serious and surprised, everyone who is familiar with this black guy knows his character, and Liszt is no exception.
The next step was exactly the same as before.
Gary suddenly laughed and patted Liszt on the shoulder and laughed: "You can't be attracted to some little girl, are you?
You will make the beauties in the bar sad."
Gary's teasing also made Liszt react instantly.
He looked at the car repair shop door that had appeared in front of him, couldn't help but take a long breath, and his mood stabilized.
No matter what, the nuclear war will eventually come, and with his special abilities, he doesn't want to really fall into a hellish wasteland.
Shaking his head vigorously, Liszt said to Gary, who was still swaying to the music: "Old Kyle is right in front.
Let's get through this first."
Right at the door of the auto repair shop in front of him, old Kyle wearing a cowboy outfit was standing there smoking a pipe, and four or five other young men were also standing there.
When they saw Gary and Liszt driving over, they both raised their hands and waved.
They were happy to see each other again, but a sadness also appeared on their faces.
Even Old Kyle was surprisingly not.
He got angry and yelled, but quietly watched Gary and Lister stop the car.
"Wait, Kyle, what's wrong?"
Swallowing slightly, the heartless Gary also felt a certain depressing atmosphere.
He subconsciously put away the pretended happy expression on his face, looked at Old Kyle and the four or five colleagues around him with some embarrassment, coughed slightly, and said with a forced smile: "What's wrong with everyone?
Kyle, this isn’t quite right with your character.”
Liszt also came over, but he did not speak.
He stood side by side with other colleagues and nodded to each other as a greeting.
Old Kyle in front of him was smoking his pipe heavily.
Seeing them all arrive, he also slowly protruded two long lines of smoke in his nose.
His throat seemed to be hoarse due to long-term smoking.
He said slowly : "I have to say that no matter how grand the banquet is, it will eventually break up."
When he spoke, Gary and the others suddenly had expressions of astonishment on their faces, and even Liszt couldn't help but frown.
Because what Old Kyle said, coupled with his tone, was not something worth celebrating.
Seeing the shock on the faces of Liszt and the others, Old Kyle took a puff of his pipe and shook his head helplessly: "Everyone has seen the state of this small town, and our industry has already entered winter."
"But everyone has cars.

No matter what, we can still repair cars.
Our auto repair shop is famous in the whole town.
Who doesn't know our reputation and skills?"
Gary's eyes were completely widened.
He also looked at the old Kyle in front of him, and a sense of sadness suddenly flowed out of his heart.
Before he finished speaking, his eye circles were already red.
Although he was heartless, he still attached great importance to feelings, and he lowered his head subconsciously, as if he couldn't look directly into the eyes of old Kyle: "You mean we are all Fired”
"No, we're disbanded."
The smoke from the pipe slowly blew out of Old Kyle's mouth.
He looked at Liszt and the others, who had unsightly faces in front of them, and slowly reached out to take down the pipe, feeling the fragrant smoke spit out as he spoke. , still shook his head and said: "Gasoline has been sold in limited quantities.
In the future, cars will drive less and less, and we will also be unemployed."
However, he looked at the crowd and still forced a smile: "Maybe we can still go to the army, After all, that’s where we learned our maintenance skills.” s:Restore two updates, ahem, sorry:
