The Cessna 208 has a very good adaptability to simple runways, and can even take off and land on flat grass and gravel river beaches, this time landing on a cement runway that is still very new...

"it!"

The plane had just taxied to the tarmac, and before it had come to a standstill, a strange sound was heard, and then the plane seemed to be slightly tilted to one side.

The captain in front shouted: "Boss, get off the plane immediately, the tire burst!"

"Huh?"

Zhang Nan didn't understand what the situation was, so he was surrounded by several bodyguards and hurried off the plane.

What do you call it?

Standing on the tarmac, Zhang Nan was a little dumbfounded when he looked at the airless aircraft tires on the lower right side of the fuselage.

It's an airplane tire, it's not easy to get a puncture, not to mention a light aircraft like the Senas 208 with low tire pressure, it should be difficult for you to get it flat, but it's burst.

It was not the moment when the landing hit the bottom, but in the process of low-speed sliding, Zhang Nan felt that he could play a Powerball again.

It's so unreasonable, even the airport refuelers who came over felt a little incredible.

But... The unconsciously said a sentence by the airport refueling officer, which made the mood of everyone who got off the plane cloudy and sunny in an instant: "If you burst a tire when you touch the ground, it will be miserable!"

What's not, what's there to be dissatisfied with?

Be content.

But what will be done?

Cold!

There were seven people at the airport, four of whom were not airport staff, and those four were planning to fly an old de Havilland DHC-2 piston "Beaver" to Salt Lake City, Utah, a few hundred kilometers to the east.

The plane has a flat tire, which is rare in a few years, and there are not too many people who eat melons.

Among the remaining three airport personnel, one is in charge of communications, one is a refueler, and the other is a mechanic, but Battle Mount Airport is a small airport in the west, and the mechanic told Zhang Nan and others: "I will change the tires, I have the tools, and I can do it with a help."

But we don't have spare parts for this model, so it shouldn't have exploded..."

Small airport, who will prepare aircraft tires, fun!

Well, I can't leave for the time being, so I'll call the people left behind in the villa in Vegas Manor and ask them to transfer the plane as soon as possible, and get a spare tire by the way.

After the phone call, Zhang Nan felt that he should find a place to sit, there was no café at the airport, and when the plane was ready in Las Vegas, he would fly over, and the fastest would be a few hours later, so he had to go to Battle Mount to consume.

It's too hot, and Zhang Nan is afraid of heat, so hurry up and find a cool place.

It doesn't matter if it will be exposed, anyway, the people at the airport have already recognized him, and he didn't wear sunglasses and a headscarf when he got off the plane, so he can be counted as running down under special circumstances.

Exposure is exposed, this is a small place, Mr. Allen, who is famous all over the United States, came to Nevada to play, but when the plane was halfway through the refueling, he was confused and had a flat tire, which is good news!

Good news without flaws, it doesn't matter if it is heard by people who are interested, it is just a transit, and I didn't want to stay in Battle Mount at all, even if it was an accident to drink cold water and stuff my teeth.

You can't stuff some money here for others to keep it secret, otherwise it won't be reasonable, especially the four people who went to Salt Lake City, why don't you give them money in a dignified way?

Andre and Guan Xingquan, who got off the plane together, thought that it would take less than half an hour, and at least half of the people in the town would know that the famous Mr. Allen was temporarily stationed in the town because of the unlucky plane tire burst.

Small place, this is big news!

Since you can't hide from it, you can go to town in the open, and you don't need to explain to anyone about where you are coming from Las Vegas and where you are going, just passing by.

It was six or seven kilometers from the tarmac to the town, and it would be noon, and the temperature on the ground would soar to thirty-six or seven degrees, and it would be unbearable to walk under the scorching sun: there was no shade on the road, and the temperature was over 40 in the direct sun.

But having dollars is good, the airport management just made a phone call, and soon a 12-seater Chevrolet Express van, which is common in the United States, is not small and practical.

Leaving the two bodyguards who were the cameo pilots at the airport, they replaced the van driver, and tipped the driver and the airport staff $200 each, plus a $500 "rental fee" and a broken pickup truck that the mechanic had contributed himself, and went to town.

Mr. Allen, the big man, is not short of money, and he is so lavish that he is very popular with the airport employees - this is in the barren desert of north-central Nevada, which is full of rocky-exposed mountains and ravines, except for the relatively flat river valley area.

Although the mountains are not particularly tall, they are arid enough, and it is somewhat difficult to develop agriculture and animal husbandry here.

The powerful United States also has a poor place, and this Rand County is probably a national-level poor county in the United States in Zhang Nan's eyes, poor!

The airport runway is cement, and the road leading from the airport to the town is not to be expected to be cement or asphalt, it is a gravel road, and the tires of the Chevrolet Express van look like truck tires, and it is just right to run on such a road.

Soon to the edge of the town, it is a bit strange that Batelle Mending did not build a town right next to the Red Fort River, which was 1.5 kilometers south of the river.

Looking around the town, there is a lot of green on the North Peak Mountain in the distance, and there are a lot of green trees in the town, but the rest of the place is yellow and bald except for the farms and pastures that should be equipped with irrigation systems in the distance.

I wanted to find a place to sit and have a meeting, and it was also time for lunch, and I originally wanted to solve the problem of lunch after returning to Las Vegas, so I brought some bread and drinks on the plane, and now I thought about whether I could find a home in the town and go to a restaurant.

The driver who led the way in a pickup truck recommended places, and Battelle Mount had four restaurants, all just off the road.

The airport is on the east side of the town, along the road to the west, and when you arrive in the town, you will first encounter three side-by-side restaurants: first a Mexican restaurant, then a Chinese restaurant in the middle, and then a Western-style fast food restaurant.

“... The best restaurants are at the casino in the east end of town, where you can also hang out..."

The driver recommended, but he was obviously blind: Who is Mr. Allen?

He is a native of China.

Zhang Nan listened to the bodyguard tell him about the restaurant through the walkie-talkie in the van, but he didn't say anything, Guan Xingquan said: "Go to the Chinese restaurant." ”

There is actually a Chinese restaurant in the poor egg town in the west, where else do you go if you don't go there?

Although the driver did not recommend the most fun casino, the guys also figured out one thing: it turns out that the secret of this town with more than 2,000 people is not the environment, but the casino.

This is Nevada, where gambling is legal.
