Flights from Dubai to Polythanvia are still normal commercial flights. Although Ethiopian Airlines' flight attendants were tall and beautiful, Sun's dark skin made him nervous for no reason — he always felt that he might be dealing with a patient who had been treated with polymyxin and had darkened his complexion.

After the Ethiopian Airlines Boeing 737-800 landed in Montepuez, Liu Tangchun took Sun Lien around the airport several times, and finally didn't even buy a ticket, and only spent the "price" of two packs of cigarettes to successfully board a DC3 cargo plane that was about to take off.

"Don't we need to go through security?" Sun Lien followed Liu Tangchun and finally climbed onto the plane, and then found an empty seat and sat down. He looked at the exposed metal components of the cabin and asked with some trepidation, "This plane...... No problem, right?"

"What's the security check?" Liu Tangchun smiled and refused the cigarette handed by one of the pilots, and then watched the other party light a cigarette and began to conduct a pre-flight inspection, "You kid is lucky, at least there is a serious plane to sit on this time." The last time I flew from Melati, the plane landed on the grassland to refuel in the middle of the flight. ”

Sun Lien was confused when he heard this, he really couldn't tell whether Director Liu was on a plane before, or a walk-behind tractor driven by Uncle Wang of Tunzi next door—where was the plane running out of fuel halfway through the flight, and went to the grassland to refuel? Is that aviation kerosene or dry firewood?

The two pilots finished smoking a cigarette separately, threw the cigarette on the floor of the plane, and the other crushed it with his foot by the way, and then did not talk to Liu Tangchun and them, and directly began to call the airport tower on the intercom. After a while, the plane suddenly started without warning. After turning 180 degrees in place, the plane, which had only two propeller engines, suddenly began to accelerate. Although Sun Lien didn't sit on the plane much, he also knew that this kind of speed was definitely not what ordinary taxiing should be.

The old plane, which was older than Liu Tangchun, rushed through the traffic runway at breakneck speed, and then bypassed two ninety-degree turns in a row at an almost drifting angle. Before Sun Lien could tear his face off the square porthole, DC3 began to accelerate again in the huge vibration and roar, and about ten seconds later, the plane sank suddenly, and then in the "crunch" sound of the full plane, the old antique that had been flying for more than 70 years clumsily flew into the sky.

"Welcome to Africa!" Liu Tangchun looked at Sun Lien's pale face, laughed and patted Sun Lien's shoulder. "You can do whatever you want on this plane, and there are no flight attendants, no safety officers — not even a mechanic. ”

"As long as you don't push the door of the plane and tell me I'm going to skydive. Sun Lien also let go, anyway, Comrade Liu couldn't push himself into the fire pit, "I just looked, we don't even have a seat belt on this seat." ”

"Freighters. Liu Tangchun smiled and took out his satellite phone, "When you get to the place, I'll take you directly to the camp first - what do you want to eat?"

"Everything. Sun Lien's answer was very realistic, "As long as you can eat, I want to find a place to reverse jet lag now." "It's eleven o'clock in the evening Beijing time, and in distant Polytavia, it's still five o'clock in the afternoon, and we will arrive in Port Melati in an hour to finish our meal.

"Then we won't eat in Melati, let's take a two-hour drive back to the camp for dinner. Liu Tangchun smiled and said, "There is a Shandong master who is a chef on the other side of the camp, and the nine-turn large intestine is simply amazing - people here don't eat animal offal, and it doesn't cost a lot of money to eat all-you-can-eat fat intestines." ”

"I'm probably in this state right now...... You may not be able to eat the large intestine. Sun Lien successfully developed symptoms of airsickness in the constant vibration and noise, "I ...... I'll just have some white porridge......"

Melati International Airport is an airport with a runway of 2,500 meters, but there is not even a waiting room. Aside from the barbed wire fence that presumably blocked the surroundings, the entire airport area looked like a particularly wide highway with a tall tower - there was only one hangar, and it was one of those simple hangars that could only park small planes.

After the plane landed, the two pilots drove the DC3, which was ringing everywhere, to a position close to the entrance of the airport. Seven or eight small pickup trucks drove in directly from outside the airport. Then a group of shirtless locals began to climb into the plane to unload the cargo. They seemed somewhat surprised that there were two Chinese in the plane. After a while, one of them suddenly pointed at Liu Tangchun and shouted "Sabi puppet", and the others enthusiastically surrounded him. Everyone shook hands with Liu Tangchun one after another, or simply patted Liu Tangchun's shoulder and gave a thumbs up, anyway, they were enthusiastic as if they had seen a big star.

The two pilots chatted with the others for a while, and then stuffed the unopened pack of cigarettes back into Liu Tangchun's hand. Then he also gave Liu Tangchun a thumbs up. He muttered "Thank you!" , the enthusiasm is a little incomprehensible.

Finally got out of the enthusiastic onlookers, Liu Tangchun took Sun Lien and walked to the door. Sun Lien asked with some confusion, "Director Liu, where is our luggage?"

When they came over this time, Sun Lien and Liu Tangchun packed three or four hundred kilograms of luggage. But since the Ethiopian Airlines plane landed in Montepuez, Sun Lien has never touched his luggage.

"It will be delivered in about three days, and someone will pull the luggage directly from the airport to the station. Liu Tangchun arranged everything, he dragged Sun Lien to the Toyota pickup waiting at the door, said hello to the driver, and threw his carry-on luggage into the car, "Get in the car." ”

"Up...... Car?" Sun Lien followed Liu Tangchun's example and threw his luggage in the cargo bed of the pickup truck, but this pickup truck is a single-row seat model, and there is a black old lady who looks quite old in the passenger seat, so it is obviously unrealistic for people to move their seats, "Where to sit?"

"You can't sit here? There's not even a traffic police here, and there aren't so many rules. Liu Tangchun pulled Sun Lien into the cargo bed of the pickup truck and sat down by himself, "Be steady, don't fall down later." ”

The cargo bed of the pickup truck is not very deep, about 40 centimeters high. Sitting down is just going to the abdomen. Sun Lien grabbed the cargo bucket next to him with difficulty with two hands, and then saw the scenery brush twice. An hour and a half later, they had managed to reach a place that looked very familiar.

The blue and white walls enclose a place in the wilderness, and the gate is marked with the "Builders" of the area and the "Seventh Bureau of National Construction" in large blue font on the gate.

Liu Tangchun jumped out of the car, and then helped Sun Lien, who was stiff all over his body, to get out of the car, and Comrade Liu pointed to the door, "We're here." ”

Before Sun Lien could speak, more than a dozen people wearing construction safety helmets and holding steel rods rushed out of the gate. They were followed by several Chinese with guns.

"Ouch, I'm going, Lao Liu, are you back?" The middle-aged man who took the lead saw Liu Tangchun from a distance, so he quickly stopped everyone and waved them back to the camp. And he trotted all the way over, "You can be counted as back, many doctors in the medical team are worried that you will not come back." ”

Liu Tangchun was furious when he heard this, and he rolled up his sleeves and walked to the camp without even taking his luggage, "Chen Tian raised you as a son of a bitch, and you are a fucking arranger, right?"

Sun Lien was stunned and watched Director Liu instantly turn into an old hooligan to pick quarrels and provoke trouble, and he stayed where he was, and he didn't know whether he should help with the luggage first, or help the teacher beat Chen Fatzi together in the past - or help Chen Fatzi beat the old hooligan together. And the middle-aged man with a safety helmet came over and shook Sun Lien's hand very warmly, "You are Doctor Sun, right? He pointed behind him, "The master in the cafeteria specially made noodles for you to catch the wind." He bent down and picked up Liu Tangchun's luggage, "Let's go, everyone is waiting!"
