Chapter 753

After a night's rest in Malakal, Gao Yang didn't leave in a hurry the next day. He had to buy something for himself first.

On the grassland, many small things are more important than guns, such as kindling, kettle and some insect prevention drugs. Most of the time, a knife is more useful than a pistol.

Gao Yang came in a hurry and didn't prepare many things, so he had to buy some necessary things before he could start. However, these things often used in daily life won't be difficult to buy. Gao Yang didn't delay too long to buy everything he needed.

At 9 a.m., Gao Yang arrived at the airport where he rented the plane on time. Of course, the so-called airport is no different from what he saw last time. It is still an airport with only a dirt runway.

There was no tower control or air control. Gao Yang could fly if he wanted to. He threw the bought things on the plane and checked the plane again. Seeing that the weather was good, Gao Yang directly drove the plane to the sky.

Although he did learn how to fly a plane in the United States, Gao Yang is still early to get a flight certificate. However, he has been formally trained and has the ability to fly alone. Most pilots in Malakal have not even formally learned how to fly a plane. There is no need for a flight license to fly a plane here.

The first time he flew alone, Gao Yang was a little nervous at the beginning, but the nervous mood soon turned into excitement.

After flying far away, looking from the air to the ground, there was no farmland. Instead, there were large tracts of grassland. Looking at the familiar scenery and the possibility of seeing the long separated akuri tribe, Gao Yang was more and more excited.

Gao Yang needs to fly for several hours to reach the coordinates agreed to meet Catherine. As he flies eastward, the scenery on the ground is also changing, from the grassland where there are almost no trees to the savanna where some trees exist. As Gao Yang gets closer to the destination, there are more and more trees on the ground.

When Gao Yang is not far from the coordinates he wants to go, the ground is basically forest terrain. Although there are not a few open spaces, there is not enough space for him to land.

Although the place to go will be the edge of the tropical rain forest, and there will be fewer places for controllable landing after arriving, Gao Yang doesn't have to worry about finding a landing site, because if Catherine's crew needs to transport supplies temporarily, they all rely on air transportation, so there is a cleaned temporary runway near their station.

There is only one coordinate. After flying over the coordinate area, you still need to look for the ground reference carefully to really find the place. Looking at the GPS indication that it has arrived, Gao Yang lowered the altitude and began to circle in the air.

After adjusting the radio on the plane from the ATC frequency to the frequency given by Catherine, Gao Yang grabbed the phone and said loudly, "I'm Gao Yang, Catherine, are you listening?"

"Catherine has received it. She has seen you for a long time. She hasn't answered your call many times. What's the matter?"

Gao Yang was embarrassed and said, "sorry, you know I'm still a novice. I forgot to adjust the frequency for the radio."

"I'm waiting for you to pick you up on the ground. There's an open space in front of your nose. Do you see it? I'm in the car here, a red SUV. Do you see it?"

Gao Yang glanced at the place indicated by Catherine. He immediately found an open space and lowered the height. Gao Yang could also see a red car at one end of the open space.

"I see you, but there is a problem. The open space is too small. Is there no larger place for me to land?"

Gao Yang is a novice after all. Looking down from the air, he thinks the open space is too small.

Catherine said helplessly: "this is our temporary airport. The open space has been cleared. There are no shrubs, stones and holes. It's not so easy if you want to land in another place. In addition, the length of this open space is 400 meters, and the length that can be used as a runway is at least 300 meters. I think it's enough for you."

The open space is an irregular rectangle, wide at one end and narrow at the other. According to Catherine's data, it is really high enough for landing. The problem is that the open space is really small when viewed from the air.

It is impossible to have a more suitable landing site. Gao Yang can only land. He hovered in the air for several times and recited the essentials of landing several times. Then Gao Yang crossed his heart and finally landed.

When Gao Yang landed the plane safely, Catherine had been waiting next to the car with a man. When Gao Yang turned off the engine and jumped down, they quickly met Gao Yang.

After a polite hug with Catherine, Catherine pointed to the man next to her and said, "let me introduce you. This is Martin F. Craig, the sponsor of our trip and our team leader. He strongly asked to pick you up with me."

The man immediately reached out to Gao Yang and said enthusiastically, "it's great that you can come, Mr. Gao. The whole crew is looking forward to your arrival."

Gao Yang also smiled and shouted, "Mr. Craig, thank you for picking me up."

"Oh, just call me Martin. Ha ha, Mr. Gao, of course I hope to see you earlier, because whether we can get the picture we want this time, you are the key person."

After laughing, Martin reached out and made a gesture of invitation and said, "get in the car, Mr. Gao. Our camp is about a mile away from here and will be there soon."

Just then, Catherine smiled at Martin and whispered, "Martin, can you go back to the camp first? I want to take a walk with Gao."

Martin made an expression of enlightenment. Then he patted himself on the head and said, "ah, I'm really a stupid guy. Of course, you can walk back slowly. Anyway, it's not too far. Just pay attention to safety. Hey, Gao, give me the things and put them in the car."

For Catherine's request, Gao Yang naturally won't have any opinion. He put the things he brought in the car and just carried the shotgun on his back just in case.

The enthusiastic Martin quickly drove away. When there were only Gao Yang and Catherine left, Gao Yang, who tried to find a topic, pointed to the plane and said with a smile, "there won't be any problem throwing this here?"

Catherine smiled and said, "if your problem means being stolen, you can rest assured."

Gao Yang also smiled and said, "well, I'm just saying, hey, Catherine, you're beautiful today. I mean, you look good."

Catherine regained the outdoor dress that Gao Yang wore when she first met her. Her shirt and shorts were matched with outdoor boots without powder. She casually put back a bunch of her hair. It looked fresh and beautiful. The most important thing was that she looked very healthy.

Hearing the high praise, Catherine spread her hand and said with a smile, "well, it seems that I am more suitable for living in the wild."

After casually joking, Catherine put away her smile and said to Gao Yang, "let's talk while walking. It's not appropriate for Martin to wait for them too long. Well, the reason why I let you walk back with me is that I have to tell you something in advance."

Gao Yang said curiously, "what's the matter?"

Catherine sighed slightly and said, "Martin didn't panic. Now the whole crew is really looking forward to your arrival, but to be exact, Martin is most looking forward to your arrival. How to say, they hope you can be on TV."

Gao Yang was stunned and said, "on TV? How is this possible!"

Catherine breathed out and said: "Of course I know you can't want to be on TV. Well, I'll start from the beginning. Martin is an independent producer. He used to work at the BBC. He is good at making documentaries. This time, when he came to South Sudan, Martin funded to make a documentary about animals and the environment. If he wants to recover the cost, he has to sell the documentaries."

After that, Catherine looked at Gao Yang and said, "there are too many documentaries about animals now, and the market is limited. If there is no hot spot of special concern, it can be predicted that such documentaries will not sell well."

Gao Yang frowned and said, "I understand. I think I guess what you want to say. Is Martin going to shoot the akuri tribe after discovering the trace of the akuri tribe?"

Catherine nodded: "yes, that's right. There are almost no real primitive tribes in the world. There is no doubt that the akuri tribe belongs to the most primitive one. It's as formal as a living fossil. Obviously, if the akuri tribe doesn't want people to photograph their lives, Martin can't do it. With you, all this will be different."

After careful consideration, Gao Yang said in a deep voice, "this is not a big problem. I can ask."

Catherine shook her head "No, Martin doesn't just want to shoot the akuri tribe. He wants to shoot in more detail. I didn't tell him your experience completely, but I chose a few things to tell him, but it still aroused his interest. Think about it. A modern man accepted as a formal member by the primitive tribe is very interesting, and with you, you can finish the life of the akuri tribe The whole is presented in front of the world, which means a documentary on sale, so Martin hopes you can be on the camera. "

Gao Yang immediately shook his head like a rattle and said, "you should understand that this is impossible."

Catherine nodded, "of course I understand and told Martin, but I have a lot to say, so he still retains his fantasy."

With a wry smile, he said, "it seems that Martin is destined to be disappointed."
