The plane drove back smoothly and landed smoothly.
Back on the ground, Gao Yang was relieved. He made a very detailed inspection of the plane.
Catherine and Adele accompanied Gao Yang to check the plane. No bullet holes were found on the fuselage. When the inspection was coming to an end, Gao Yang heard the sound of car horns twice under the fuselage.
After Martin drove the car to deliver gasoline and honked the horn twice to announce his arrival, Martin drove the car and stopped directly next to the plane. After jumping out of the car, Martin shouted, "Hi, what's up, anything?"
Gao Yang shook his head and said, "the only discovery is that after we flew to Sudan's airspace, we found a military camp, and the soldiers in the camp were very unfriendly. They shot me. Fortunately, after inspection, our plane was not shot."
Martin frowned: "Those soldiers are really unfriendly. We have also been warned that we'd better stay away from them. As far as I know, there are almost six or seven such barracks along the border. Generally speaking, no one will be willing to approach them. These people are suffocated lunatics. Now the border demarcation between North and South Sudan is not very clear. Both sides have cross-border behavior, No There are public battles that 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 Gao Yang's dialogue with Martin. After Martin finished, bantuna said calmly: "this kind of thing is normal. There's nothing to say. Just stay away from them. All right, open the fuel tank cap and help me refuel."
Martin drove a new pickup truck with a tank on it. The power generation and car oil of the whole camp depended on the gasoline pulled by the tank truck.
South Sudan is synonymous with sparsely populated areas. Where Gao Yang is located, there are no towns nearby. Ethiopia in the northeast of South Sudan is a tropical rain forest, and the population is almost extinct. To the north is Sudan. There are no residents except some soldiers stationed on the border.
At the edge of this tropical rain forest, even the nomadic Dinka and nur people will not arrive. Therefore, once the gasoline is used up, how to replenish it is a big problem.
After inserting the oil pipe into the mailbox on the plane, Gao Yang said to Martin, "do we have enough gasoline? I mean, how much gasoline can I use for flying on the premise of ensuring the operation and departure of the whole camp?"
Martin thought for a moment and said with a smile: "There are many more. Besides the generator, we can hardly use gasoline. Only one car is a gasoline car, and the rest are diesel cars, and we have a whole tank of gasoline. If your flight is as long as this morning, you can fly at least six to seven times. It doesn't matter. Don't worry. Even if you run out of gas, I can let people transport some more."
Don't worry about the fuel problem. It's good news. I looked at my watch. It's still early. It's just past one o'clock at noon. I'm not willing to waste the next time. I smiled and said, "I'm going to continue searching in the afternoon, but I don't plan to go north again this time. I want to take a chance in the opposite direction. Our lunch will be ready soon."
Of course, Martin also hoped to find the akuri tribe earlier. He spread out his hands and smiled, "you don't feel tired, but I suggest you go back to the camp and eat before taking off."
Gao Yang looked at Catherine. Before she spoke, Catherine said in a hurry: "don't ask me. I don't feel tired at all."
Adele also said hurriedly, "I'm not tired. Let's take off again. I have a hunch that I can find the akuri tribe this afternoon."
Gao Yang had planned to fly only once. He temporarily decided to take off again. He should eat something to replenish his strength. It won't take long, but before Gao Yang opened his mouth, he saw Catherine grinning and said with a painful face: "what's the menu for noon?"
Martin said with a smile, "French fries and gazelle meat sandwich. The radar shot the gazelle all the time."
Hearing Martin's answer, Catherine immediately said firmly on her face, "I'm not hungry yet, and there's our convenience food on the plane, so I won't go back to the camp."
Adele also said immediately, "I don't have lunch either. I'm not hungry."
Gao Yang was going to have dinner. According to Martin, the lunch seems to be made now. It's a rare enjoyment to have a hot meal in the wild. However, seeing that Catherine and Adele firmly said that they would not eat lunch, Gao Yang can only give up.
After shrugging helplessly, he said to Martin, "well, I can't go to dinner. We brought a lot of emergency food and won't go hungry."
Hearing what Gao Yang said, bantuna suddenly said, "what did you bring?"
Gao Yang glanced at the plane and said, "well, biscuits, chocolate, some military compressed biscuits, and some ham."
After hearing Gao Yang's words, bantuna licked his lips and said, "if you bring enough, can you give me some?"
Catherine smiled, "no problem. I'll get it for you."
Katherine took two compressed biscuits, a bag of ordinary biscuits and a Kenyan beef ham. Gao Yang bought them in Malakal. The taste was ok, but bantuna looked very excited after taking them and opened them directly.
Martin got into the car and left, while bantuna sat in the co driver's seat and began to eat what Catherine gave him at a fast speed. When he left, bantuna also made a gesture of gratitude to Catherine.
Waiting for Martin to turn around and leave, Catherine took a long breath and said, "bantuna and their people are the least demanding people in terms of food. Now even bantuna can't stand it. Ah, really, really terrible Englishmen."
Adele also said helplessly, "terrible Englishman!"
Gao Yang said curiously, "what's the matter? What are you talking about? Adele, aren't you English?"
Adele shrugged and said, "I'm English, but after I've been in the United States for a long time, I've spoiled my appetite."
Gao Yang seemed to hear the funniest joke. He laughed and said, "what are you talking about? You don't want to say that Americans will eat? My God, Americans have spoiled your appetite. This is the funniest joke I've ever heard."
Catherine said bitterly: "Is it so funny? Americans don't eat much, but we also have many choices besides fast food. And the British, God, how do they survive? French fries, fish chips, potatoes with salt. Well, after leaving Britain and can't eat fish, it's potatoes, potatoes, potatoes! Only potatoes, potatoes will always be potatoes!"
Adele said faintly, "I hate potatoes. I hate fried fish. I hate eel jelly. Besides tea, I hate all the traditional British food!"
Gao Yangshan said, "I just said there were antelope sandwiches."
Catherine sighed and said, "the little antelope meat is very fishy, but this is not the point. The point is that Martin's team is basically British, and the cook is also British. Believe me, when you take a bite of a sandwich and want to throw it away, but have to eat it hard, you will understand why bantuna will be moved to cry when you eat compressed biscuits."
Gao Yang scratched his head and said, "I've never been to England or eaten British food. Well, it seems that it's lucky for me. Well, let's eat and take off."
While eating the biscuits bought by Gao Yang, Adele said with a gloomy face: "every time I eat, it is my most painful time. In the future, I will never join the British team unless they have a foreign cook."
Gao Yang couldn't help imagining how bad the food Martin's team ate. Many things didn't know how bad they were without trying, and the food was definitely in this line. Therefore, Gao Yang even looked forward to trying how hard the things made by the British were.
After a simple meal, they took off again, this time heading south.
Similar to the practice in the morning, after flying more than 20 kilometers, Gao Yang began to fly back and forth horizontally.
Gao Yang's speed to the South was very slow, because he searched in both East and west directions. After two hours of tossing and turning, the voyage had flown far away, but it was only thirty or forty kilometers from the place where he took off.
Mechanical repetitive work can easily make people lose their passion. The three bored people lie down on the plane window and look down. They look green, but the monotonous scenery makes people sleepy. Gao Yang finally couldn't help yawning.
Yawning is very contagious. Catherine and Adele could not help yawning when they heard the loud yawn. When Adele opened her mouth and yawned, her eyes suddenly widened, and immediately began to shake the high voice sitting in front of her.
"What's the matter?"
Adele's mouth didn't close for a long time. She just desperately pointed out the window and looked high along Adele's fingers. However, she found a layer of smoke that was not very obvious in her field of vision.
The woods are not very dense, but the canopy has blocked the ground. In addition, even if someone lives on the ground, the smoke can no longer maintain the shape of smoke column after passing through the dense canopy, but forms a smoke layer similar to mist at the top of the canopy, which can't be seen from a little distance.
The discovery of smoke basically represents someone. Gao Yang immediately controls the plane to the side of the smoke, but the canopy here is too thick to see whether there is anyone on the ground.
Gao Yang flew around for two times. He saw a space similar to a skylight in the tree canopy. He immediately lowered the height of the plane again, almost skimming the top of the tree. At the moment of skimming the skylight, Catherine said loudly: "I see, thatched cottage, thatched cottage!"
