Chapter seven hundred and forty seventh thatched cottage
The plane drove back smoothly and landed smoothly.
After returning to the ground, Gao Yang felt at ease and he did a very careful inspection of the plane.
Catherine and Adele accompanied Gao Yang to inspect the plane. No bullet holes were found on the fuselage. Just as the inspection was about to end, Gao Yang, who was under the fuselage, heard the sound of the car horn twice.
Martin drove the car to deliver gasoline, honked the horn twice to announce his arrival, Martin drove directly to the plane, jumped out of the car, Martin shouted: "Gao, how about it, have you noticed anything?"
Gao Yang shook his head and said, "The only discovery was that after we flew to Sudan's airspace, we found a military camp. The soldiers in the military camp were very unfriendly. They fired at me. Fortunately, after checking, our plane was not shot."
Martin frowned and said, "The soldiers are really unfriendly. We have also received warnings. It is best to stay away from them. As far as I know, there are almost six or seven such military camps distributed on the border. Generally speaking, no one will be happy to get close to them. These people are crazy people who have been suffocated. The division of the border between North and South Sudan is not very clear. Both sides have crossed borders, and battles that have not been announced to the public often occur."
Martin came with Bantuna, nicknamed Radar. After Bantuna got out of the car with an oil pump in his hand, he just listened to the conversation between Gao Yang and Martin. After Martin finished speaking, Bantuna said calmly: "This kind of thing is normal. There is nothing to say. Just stay away from them. Okay. Open the fuel tank cover and help me get some fuel."
Martin drove a small truck that was still very new, and he pulled an oil tank on the truck. The power generation and car oil in the entire camp were driven by gasoline from the tanker truck.
South Sudan is synonymous with vast land and sparsely populated areas. There are no towns nearby in the place where Gao Yang is located. However, Ethiopia in northeastern South Sudan is tropical rainforest, with almost extinct population. To the north is Sudan. Except for some soldiers stationed on the border, there are no residents.
On the edge of this tropical rainforest, even the nomadic Dinka and Nuer people will not arrive, so how to replenish gasoline once it is used up is a big problem.
After inserting the oil pipe into the mailbox on the plane, Gao Yang said to Martin: "We have enough gasoline? I mean, how much gasoline can be used for me to fly while ensuring the entire camp is running and leaving?"
After thinking for a while, Martin smiled and said, "There are still many, except for the generator. We hardly use gasoline. Only one car is a gasoline car. The rest are diesel cars, and we still have a whole can of gasoline. If your flight is as long as this morning, it can be at least six to seven times. It doesn't matter, don't worry, use it, even if I use it all, I can get some more people over."
Don't worry about fuel issues, this is good news. I looked at the watch and it was still early, just one o'clock noon. I was unwilling to waste the next time. Gao Yang smiled and said, "I plan to continue searching in the afternoon, but this time I don't plan to go north anymore. I want to try my luck in the opposite direction. Our lunch is about to be ready."
Of course, Martin also hoped to find the Akuri tribe earlier. He spread his hands and smiled: "It's good that you don't feel tired, but I suggest you go back to the camp to eat before taking off."
Gao Yang looked at Catherine, and before he could speak, Catherine said anxiously: "Don't ask me, I don't feel tired at all."
Adele also said anxiously: "I'm not tired either. Let's take off again. I have a premonition that I will find the Akuri tribe this afternoon."
Gao Yang originally planned to fly only once, but decided to take off again temporarily. He should eat something to replenish his strength and other things. This would not take long. However, before Gao Yang could speak, he saw Catherine grin and said with a sore face: "What is the recipe for lunch?"
Martin said with a smile: "French fries, and the little antelope sandwich, the radar hit the little antelope with a gun."
Hearing Martin's answer, Catherine immediately said with a firm look on her face: "I'm not hungry yet, and there are the convenience foods we prepared on the plane, so I won't go back to the camp."
Adele also said immediately: "I won't have lunch anymore, I'm not hungry."
Gao Yang originally planned to go for a meal, but after Martin said that the lunch seemed to be made now. It was a rare pleasure to have a hot meal in the wild. However, seeing that Katherine and Adele were both firmly saying that they would not eat lunch, Gao Yang had to give up.
After shrugging helplessly, Gao Yang said to Martin: "Okay, then I can't go to eat anymore. We brought a lot of emergency food and won't go hungry."
Upon hearing what Gao Yang said, Bantuna suddenly said, "What have you brought?"
Gao Yang glanced at the plane and said, "Well, biscuits, chocolates, some military compressed biscuits, and some ham."
After hearing Gao Yang's words, Bantuna licked her lips and said, "If you bring enough, can you give me some?"
Catherine smiled and said, "No problem, I'll get it for you."
Catherine took two compressed biscuits, a bag of ordinary biscuits, and a Kenyan beef ham. These were all brought by Gao Yang in Maracal. The taste was just OK, but after Bantuna took it, she looked very excited and even opened it and ate it.
Martin drove into the car and left, while Bantuna sat in the passenger seat and began to eat what Katherine gave him at a quick speed. When leaving, Bantuna also made a gesture of gratitude to Katherine.
Waiting for Martin to drive and turn away, Catherine exhaled a long sigh and said, "Bantuna and the others have the lowest requirements for food. Now even Bantuna can't stand it. Oh, it's really, what a terrible British."
Adele also said helplessly: "The terrible British!"
Gao Yang said curiously: "What's wrong? What are you talking about? Adele, aren't you British?"
Adele shrugged, "I am a British man, but after I stayed in the United States for a long time, I have made my appetite worse."
Gao Yang seemed to hear the ridiculous joke, laughed and said, "What did you say? You don't want to say that Americans can eat it, right? Oh my god, Americans have made your appetite bad, this is the funniest joke I have ever heard."
Catherine said with a resentful look: "Is it that funny? Americans don't know how to eat it, but we have many choices besides fast food. And the British, God, how did they survive? French fries, fried fish cubes, and potatoes that can be eaten with salt. Well, after leaving Britain, you can't eat fried fish, you can't eat them! Only potatoes, they will always be potatoes!"
Adele said quietly: "I hate potatoes, I hate fried fish, I hate eel freezing. Apart from refreshments, I hate all traditional British delicacies!"
Gao Yang said embarrassedly: "I just said that there is still a little antelope sandwich."
Catherine sighed and said, "The little antelope is very fishy, but this is not the point. The point is that Martin's team is basically British, and the people who cook are also British. Believe me, when you take a bite with a sandwich and want to throw it away but have to bite the bullet and finish it, you will understand why Bantuna will be moved to cry after eating compressed biscuits."
Gao Yang scratched his head and said, "I have never been to the UK, nor have I eaten anything from British people. Well, it seems that this is lucky for me, well, we'll take off after eating something."
While eating with the biscuits Gao Yang bought, Adele said with a depressed look on his face: "Every time it's time for me to suffer the most. In the future, I will never join the British team again, unless they have a foreign chef."
Gao Yang could not help but imagine how unpalatable the food Martin's team ate. Many things were not good without trying them, and the food was definitely within the ranks. Therefore, Gao Yang was still looking forward to trying how unpalatable the things made by the British were.
After eating simply, Gao Yang and the others took off again, this time flying towards the south.
It was similar to what I did in the morning. After flying for about twenty kilometers, Gao Yang began to fly back and forth horizontally.
Gao Yang was moving south very slowly because the width of his search in the east and west directions was very large. After two hours of flying back and forth, the voyage had already flown far away, but the distance was only thirty or forty kilometers away from the takeoff.
Mechanical repetitive work can easily make people lose their passion. The three of them lie bored on the plane window and look down. The green ones look, while the monotonous scenery makes people drowsy. Gao Yang finally couldn't help but yawn.
Yawning is easy to be contagious. When Gao Yang's yawn was heard, Katherine and Adele couldn't help but yawn. When Adele opened his mouth wide, his eyes suddenly widened and immediately began to shake Gao Yang who was sitting in front of her.
"What's wrong?"
Adele's mouth did not close for a long time. She just pointed out the window desperately. Gao Yang looked along Adale's fingers, but found a layer of not very obvious smoke appeared in her vision.
The woods are not very dense, but the canopy is blocked so that the ground cannot be seen. In addition, even if someone lives on the ground, the smoke cannot maintain the shape of the smoke column after passing through the dense canopy layer. Instead, a layer of smoke similar to mist is formed on the top of the canopy, which cannot be seen if it is a little far away.
The discovery of smoke basically means someone. Gao Yang immediately controlled the plane to the side of the smoke, but the canopy here was too dense and there was no way to see if there was anyone on the ground.
Chapter completed!
