After chatting all the way, the car went out from the Rwandan border town of Gisenyi, and it didn't take long to arrive at the town of Goma in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

In the distance, a majestic volcano towered in front of the town, and the crater was full of smoke, threatening the lives of a million people nearby.

The audience was also shocked by this silent spectacle, which is the power of heaven and earth. Just looking at it from a distance makes people's hearts shake. Thick smoke passed through the air, and the thrilling cries of the boiling lava lake could still be heard in the depths of the volcano.

"It's spectacular!"

"It's not in vain that I've waited so long. ”

"Master Dog has worked hard, all the bamboo will be given to you, will you still climb the active volcano in a while?"

"Nyiragongo Volcano, I also searched for pictures on the Internet, but I didn't expect the real scene to be so spectacular!"

This border area is still part of Rwanda. The town was densely populated, and when they arrived, they were filled with United Nations troops dressed in blue with the "UN" logo printed on them, preparing to cross Goma.

A strong exotic atmosphere is displayed in front of the camera, completely different from the Morocco before it.

Chen Ergou quietly photographed passing United Nations vehicles and planes with the word "UN" or a red cross flying overhead.

"Friends, after a difficult trek, we have finally reached the foot of the Niragongo volcano, and the destination of our trip lies ahead," he explained in a low voice. ”

"According to people at the tourism office here, taking photos in public is prohibited, considered 'obstructing national security,' and can lead to arrest if found. So my current live broadcast has been defined as 'illegal candid filming', and I have to keep a low profile. ”

"Did you see a passing car with the word 'UN' on it?"

"The planes of the United Nations troops and the International Red Cross that you usually only see on CCTV news are just too common here. The Democratic Republic of the Congo is home to the world's largest United Nations peacekeeping force, and Goma is now the home base of the United Nations aid agency. Basically, every 10 minutes, a UN plane flew overhead. ”

"Isn't it a bit of a rumor? He laughs: "The whole area still gives me a very peaceful feeling, people set up stalls on the roadside, and they also warmly greet passing tourists to buy things." On the surface, it seems to be calm and peaceful, but this peace is very fragile, and the slightest movement can shatter this tranquility immediately. ”

There are no supermarkets in the town, resources are scarce, and some are just poorly furnished grocery stores. It looks like a Chinese rural commissary many years ago.

Walked in with curiosity, and after some conversation, each of the three came out with a fried cake.

"This is a cake, but it's fried, it looks weird, I'll taste it first......" Chen Ergou said, and started eating.

But as soon as I took a bite, I almost didn't spit it out, and the bitter expression instantly filled the whole face, making the audience laugh again and again.

"23333, the dog emoji has been screenshotted. ”

"The cake was fried in oil, what a novelty. ”

"It's hard to eat? It's not that you're too picky. ”

Not only Chen Ergou had a strange expression, but even Zhang Zhengyang and Chen Xiaohu also cried and chewed with difficulty.

Chen Ergou couldn't bear to waste food, and almost finished eating it with tears in his eyes, and even poured several sips of water to get better.

"There is so little stuff here, there is little food in the whole town of Goma, and the prices are very high, but luckily we have enough bread, chocolate and drinking water in the car. The only thing we can eat at this grocery store seems to be this kind of fried cake, but to be honest, the taste is ...... It's not good!"

He exhaled with his tongue outstretched, his expression teasing.

The crowd gathered together again, thinking about finding a restaurant to eat. But there are too many troops here, and everyone's range of activities is limited, and everyone can't find a decent restaurant after looking for a long time.

Finally, in a thatched shack, I found a restaurant. Because the sign on the door reads, "No weapons." ”

Olivier went in first, looked at the prices of the restaurant menu, and almost ran away in fright. A serving of pasta costs $20, and it tastes terrible.

Chen Ergou and the three of them also had fun and barely filled their stomachs.

"There are actually a lot of restaurants here, and we can't go to those places because of the restrictions on our movement. But most of them are open to the United Nations, so the asking price is generally high. If you don't have some financial strength, I advise you not to come here. ”

After that, I had to go to the tourism bureau to climb the volcano, and Chen Ergou was mixed in this expedition team, which was also convenient. Of course, any documents here cost money, and there are additional resources such as guides and armed bodyguards, which of course cost a lot.

You can also leave it uninvited, but you will be responsible for the security issues. It sounds more like a threat. No one would risk their lives for a few hundred dollars.

Olivier said: "Chen, there are two kinds of trips to the volcano, one is to go on the same day and return on the same day. It is also possible to spend the night on or on the top of the mountain, which one do you choose?"

Chen Ergou thought for a moment and said: "It's too much to go back that day, we also brought a tent, so we can spend the night in the crater." I've heard that seeing the crater at night can be spectacular, and I don't want to miss it. ”

Olivier gave a thumbs up, "Wise, so are we, preparing to stay at the top of the mountain for a few days." ”

Chen Ergou said: "We won't stay too long, after reading it today, we will leave tomorrow." It looks like we're going to be separated in the future. ”

"It's okay, it's nice to meet you. ”

"Again. ”

When I came to the place where I was photographed, the so-called customs checkpoint, which was a small tin house with a yellow roof, there were some people waiting in line at the gate to cross the border. At the iron fence, a black staff member sits to check the health of the crossers.

Oliveir grabbed Chen Ergou and said, "Chen, help?"

"What?"

"Several of us got our DRC visas in Kenya, where they were very fast and immediately available, only $50. But here, the corrupt customs officials don't want to recognize the validity of our visas, they will let us reapply for visas here......"

Chen Ergou was puzzled: "Then it's done, what's the problem?"

Olivier smiled bitterly: "The customs here's bribery is notorious, and getting a visa here is equivalent to sending them to the door to be slaughtered." ”

Chen Ergou understood, "Then you want to fool the past?"

"Yes, we're being treated like a gang now, I hope you don't show your stuff. ”

"Understood. Chen Ergou nodded.

Some weak-hearted peeked at the camera, and in front of tens of millions of people in the live broadcast room, there was a dirty PY transaction, is it really good?

"23333 Don't peek, your eyes betray you. ”

"The expression of the dog master peeking at the camera is so cute, so cheap. ”

"Dirty PY deal, this photographer is scary and doesn't know that the dog is actually not bad for money. ”

"6666, there's a good show to watch, actor in a show, it's time to show your acting skills. ”

Chen Ergou "Alexander" deliberately took a deep breath and said: "That's right, it's time to show the performance potential of the future actor, maybe which director can take a fancy to make a movie." ”

This group of expeditions is fully equipped, and at first glance it is a fat sheep, and of course the customs will not let it go. But they cooperated with each other, no matter what the other party said, they just pretended to be stupid, didn't know anything, pretended not to understand, and didn't care, so as to get by.

He explained in a low voice: "Actually, the three of us have all the documents, just to help a group of friends." Although I am not short of hundreds of dollars, I will not spend unjustly to nurture corruption. It is said that the customs will ask for at least $200 for the visa on arrival at the Goma immigration office! These customs will also look at people, and the more you cower and look like a bully, they will sometimes ask for more bribes. ”

In the end, a few people performed so clumsily, and everyone shrugged their shoulders and spread their hands when the black official said something, with a confused expression on their faces.

This scene amused the audience in the live broadcast room, and there was a large laughing emoji on the barrage. There are more and more people in the back, and there are also UN soldiers waiting to cross the border. They also have a bad temper and are noisy. In the end, the customs officer couldn't bear it, and the official seal had to be photographed.

Cleared, and didn't give an extra penny.

As soon as he walked out, everyone couldn't help but burst out laughing, "That guy's unwilling expression just amused me to death." ”

"I guess they see us as fat sheep, who knows that we are Grande, and we don't pull out a hair. ”

There are many people and there is a lot of excitement, which is very different from the previous adventure alone.

Everyone is going out to travel and adventure, no matter what nationality they are, they are all very friendly, as long as they do not involve each other's interests, they are all having a good time. After all, we have to get to know each other along the way, and no one will keep a straight face.

The trail is littered with volcanic rocks, and some simple white tin huts are built on a mess of volcanic rocks. It used to be a volcanic magma flow. There were also many black women walking from the side of the road with basins on their backs.

"The volcano is very active, having experienced seven violent eruptions since 1948, the most recent of which was in 2002. Some geologists suggest that there may be another eruption in the next year or two. Among them, the January 1977 eruption killed about 2,000 people in nearly half an hour. Nyiragongo's famous summit crater, the active lava lake, was also erupted in 1977. ”

"No one would put their lives at risk if it weren't for life. ”

They drove to the entrance of the volcano park, where there was a sign written in French and English on the side of the road, but the camera was focused on it. The audience was amazed.

Because this small brand is full of dense bullet holes.

There were three black men waiting on the side of the road, two of them with guns.

Chen Ergou explained: "This is the tour guide sent to us by the tourism bureau, and there are two bodyguards with guns casually. This is included in the climbing permit, but the guide is limited, and there is an additional fee, and it is impossible to refuse. ”

"666, and a bodyguard escort with a gun, yes. ”

"The tour guide is chubby, and at first glance it is a profession with a lot of oil and water. ”

"What is this fat man talking about, why is he muttering non-stop, translation, translation, translation. ”

Chen Ergou listened for a while and said with a smile: "That guy is asking us to help solicit customers, what he said is fantastic, maybe the tour guides in each place are similar."

It was not early, and everyone finally put on their huge backpacks and began to trek up the mountain.

The expedition team had a lot of luggage, and Chen Ergou was also going deep into the lava lake, and he was carrying no less things than them. It was the first time he had taken so many things out on an adventure.

The volcano park is not devoid of vegetation, and you can also see large trees that cover the sky and the sun along the way, as if you are back in the Congo rainforest. But the path under his feet was walked by humans, not elephants.

The speed of the team was not fast, and Chen Ergou and the three of them did not overtake everyone and walked alone.

The rare exotic volcanic park style around has made the popularity of the live broadcast room grow all the time.

Previously, Chen Ergou also took the audience to visit Morocco, but Morocco is a tourist attraction in North Africa after all, and rich people can go to see it. But the active crater of the Congo is different, it is a place where the rich do not want to come.

Who wouldn't be happy to see a rare scenery in this life through a live broadcast room.

It's definitely a rare sight, and everyone is looking forward to it. I envy Chen Ergou's adventurous life all over the world, and I can't get through the monitor and walk with him all the way.

The towering trees along the road are not very tall, and it can be seen that these are secondary forests, which are often cut down and poached. So much so that animal bones can be seen along the way.

"In the Democratic Republic of the Congo there are five national forest parks that are listed as UNESCO World Natural Heritage Sites. Unfortunately, none of them have been protected, leaving all five World Heritage sites in endangered status, including the volcanic park. ”

As they walked on, the woods were no longer visible after an hour, and they came to the same place where the lava had flowed. The lava heads were scattered all over the ground, and the feet were bumpy on them.

The three of them had good physical strength, and they were originally at the end of the line, but now they were at the front of the line.

"Can Xiaohu still hold on, do you want to take a break. ”

Chen Xiaohu dragged his backpack and said, "No, I can do it." ”

"Okay, call when you're tired, we can rest for a while before we go. ”

"Hmm. ”

There are some small yellow flowers in the front, a bit like wild chrysanthemums, and a plant that looks like a flower, blooming all over the mountains. It's just that the tree is no longer to be seen.

Chen Ergou picked some strange-looking furry flowers along the way, and Chen Xiaohu asked curiously, "Brother, what's the use of these flowers?"

"It's a dandelion, silly boy. ”

"Oh, it turned out to be a dandelion. ”

Chen Ergou smiled: "It's just that the dandelions that grow in the crater are a little weird." Dandelions can be eaten, raw, stir-fried, and made into soup. It is a plant that is used both for medicine and food. Moreover, the nutritional value is very high, and there are also many medicinal effects, such as diuretic, laxative, jaundice, and choleretic. It can be used to treat heat poison, hot drenching astringency and pain, etc. ”

"Let's pick a little more, how can they grow in the crater?"

Chen Ergou said: "It's not strange to grow in a crater, not to mention that this is not a real crater. As long as the volcano is not active, it is normal for precipitation to allow seeds spread by wind or birds to take root and sprout. ”

As they communicated more, the audience began to get acquainted with the two.

It turns out that this foolish boy is the younger brother of the dog master. Is it called Chen Xiaohu? Although he is not as handsome as the dog master, he is not bad looking, so he is not the tiger master.

Someone picked up Chen Xiaohu's resume as a top student of Beiying, but also captured a group of fans.

The two brothers went on an adventure together, which made the little sister who was still studying in the magic capital envious.

The crowd had already passed through the rainforest at an altitude of nearly 2,000 meters, and had to climb a volcanic crater at an altitude of nearly 3,500 meters above sea level. Especially in the last 500 meters of the volcano, the slope is very steep and the most dangerous area. The volcanic rocks are so loose that they roll down if you don't pay attention, and you can smell the burning sulfur in your nose and mouth.

It was not early, the top of the mountain was foggy, and a thick layer of clouds was dense on the top of the volcano, "It seems that it is going to rain, everyone put on raincoats, speed up the pace, let's go to the top of the mountain and set up camp early." ”

At some point, he has surpassed the tour guide and become the leader of this team. Seeing his energetic appearance, everyone also obeyed him.

Sure enough, there was a heavy rainstorm on the way. Although it is located in a tropical rainforest and near a volcanic crater, the temperature on the mountain is very low, and the rain on your body makes you shiver.

Some people are not well prepared, and the raincoats are bought at the foot of the mountain, all second-hand or even third-hand goods, and a large piece is torn before it even starts to cover the rain. I could only continue to climb the mountain in the rain with a sad face.

After several hardships, everyone finally climbed to the top of the volcano.

The people, who were already chilled by the cold wind, hurriedly began to set up tents.

At this time, it was already dark, and Chen Ergou stood on the black volcanic rock of the highest crater, looking up.

I couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, and a smile naturally overflowed on my face, "Friends, we're here!"

When the audience in the entire live broadcast room saw the scene in front of them, they also brushed "666" together.

"Beautiful, so beautiful!"

"Is this the lava lake of activity, how spectacular!"
