Chapter 140: Arrival in Kyiv
Boryspil International Airport.
A young man in a black jacket and slacks, carrying a travel bag, walked around in the deserted airport hall.
"May I ask what you are here for Ukraine?" the middle-aged man in a police uniform raised his eyelids and looked at him twice, fiddling with the passport in his hand.
Oriental faces, if it were two years ago, this is not unusual. But in Kip today, any foreigner's face deserves a second look.
"Tourism. The man smiled, revealing a mouth full of white teeth.
The middle-aged police officer was visibly stunned, and looked at him strangely again.
"Have a great trip. β
There was no problem with the passport, and the officer didn't say anything more, mechanically picked up the stamp, stamped it on it, and then let it go
"Whew. β
Walking out of the airport, Jiang Chen stretched out comfortably and looked around the unfamiliar street.
The sky in the city of Kyiv is clear.
Bright sunshine, clear blue sky. Clean and tidy streets, and the lush trees on both sides.
Baroque and Byzantine Russian buildings can be found everywhere, with brightly coloured brick walls reminiscent of a medieval town. In addition to the modern street lights and bus stop signs, there is a strong cultural atmosphere everywhere.
I heard that there is a war going on between Donetsk and Luhansk in the east, but it is clear that the fighting has not yet reached this place.
However, even so, there is still some depression on the street.
Not being able to see the rumored "beautiful Ukraine" really made Jiang Chen a little regretful.
Of course, the purpose of this trip is not to see beautiful women.
After a while, a private car stopped in front of him. The windows were lowered, and a red-nosed head poked out.
"Do you need a taxi?" The Russian-accented English, Jiang Chen barely understood the general idea.
"Of course, take me to the Premere Palace Hotel. β
Hearing this, the driver also looked at him twice.
Although Jiang Chen's Chinese English made him listen to it a little hard, as an ontological person, he could immediately distinguish the word "Premere Palace Hotel".
Those who can afford to live in that kind of five-star hotel must also be a rich man.
I pulled the door open. Jiang Chen sat in the co-pilot and reached out to fasten his seat belt. The somewhat stout Ukrainian driver skillfully started the car and drove it smoothly onto the road.
I heard that in Ukraine, you have to negotiate the price with the driver first. Otherwise, it is easy to be slaughtered. Although it only costs about 30 grits, some drivers will even ask for 150 gli after arriving at their destination. However, Jiang Chenzhi didn't care much, he didn't care about the small amount of money like the taxi fare.
"Tell me about Kip, where is it more fun here?" Jiang Chen said with a smile and accosted the driver beside him.
"Central Street, Independence Square are good. It's a great place for shopping. The driver was also very talkative, holding on to the steering wheel, and told Jiang Chen about Kip's fun places.
"If you're interested in the history and culture here, you can go to Kinmen, where many foreign tourists like to take pictures. There are also memorials on the right bank of the Dnieper, which are quite interesting. When talking about Ukraine's historical buildings, there was a look of pride on that weather-beaten face.
"Oh, can you tell me about the memorial?" Jiang Chen asked casually with interest.
Although the target of his trip is the city of Donetsk in the east, it is estimated that he will not have much time to visit this beautiful city, but it is not bad to listen to the mouth of this local.
But for some reason, when Jiang Chen asked about the memorial hall. The driver's face was faintly clouded.
"What the hell is it in honor of the victory in the Great Patriotic War, I remember that in my youth it was a beautiful place. β
"And now? I think it's pretty good. Jiang Chen looked out the window.
The weather is sunny and sunny, making it a great place to visit.
"It's just terrible. The driver said lightly, "The guns were divided into two factions, and the innocent people were caught in the middle. At the time of the Soviet Union, this was not the case here. β
Jiang Chen glanced at him and didn't answer again.
For locals, this seems like a sad topic. Domestic textbooks seem to simply give a black and white photo. This is his only intuitive view of the whole affair. He vaguely remembered that when the statue of Lenin was toppled, the people of Ukraine cheered.
It's surprising when Kip ushered in the "people-lord". The faces were also cheering.
Who exactly is representing them?
The silence lasted only a short moment, and the driver spoke again, "Are you coming to Ukraine for the first time?"
"That's right. Jiang Chen said with a smile.
After a moment's hesitation, the kind driver continued: "Security in Kyiv is actually very bad, far from being as good as Poroshenko described. Foreigners like you are robbed every day, of course. It could also be locals. β
"Hehe, I'll pay attention. Jiang Chen smiled noncommittally.
He didn't think anyone in the world could beat him.
Seeing the indifferent expression on Jiang Chen's face, the driver didn't say anything, after all, he had already reminded him.
"Also, some police officers may be able to put your passport in the way. The easiest way to do this is to send him $100, or insist that he hasn't heard of the law and insist that he contact your embassy before paying the fine. β
"Well, I'll take notice. Regarding the kind reminder of this kind driver, Jiang Chen happily said that he would listen
The car drove to its destination.
When he got off the bus, Jiang Chen left $100 on his seat and waved his hand to indicate that he didn't need to look for it.
The driver was not polite, but he looked at him with a grateful gaze.
Life is getting more and more difficult, and this $100 may not be anything to Jiang Chen, but it can be regarded as a lot of income for him.
Walking towards the hotel with his travel bag, Jiang Chen showed his identity information to the reception lady at the front desk, and then received the key to the room.
The dΓ©cor of the Primeer Palace Hotel is luxurious. The square, spacious main body of the building exudes a Russian aesthetic, and the European-style wall decorations and lamps exude a sense of beauty from the details.
His room is located on the top floor and belongs to the most expensive presidential suite. However, it is much cheaper than the Hilton Hotel in Sanya, only 2200RMB for a night.
The hotel has a casino, bar, solarium, sauna, gym, indoor swimming pool, SPA and other facilities. However, since this trip is not for vacation, I don't think I will have much chance to enjoy these things.
Walking into the elevator with his backpack, Jiang Chen came to the top floor and walked straight to his room.
I have to say. Jiang Chen stood here like an anomaly. Most of the people who came and went here were gentlemen in suits and leather shoes, and he looked a little dazzling when he walked on the top floor of the presidential suite, dressed in casual clothes.
But who cares, being able to stay here is a testament to his financial prowess.
The moment Jiang Chen took out the key. A tall blonde woman with blue eyes immediately greeted her with a smile.
"Need service?"
Surprisingly, although a little jerky, she actually spoke Mandarin.
But after thinking about it, Jiang Chen couldn't help but curse secretly.
How many compatriots did this Nima have to "receive". In order to speak Chinese so slippery.
"No thanks. Jiang Chen smiled politely and refused.
If he came on vacation, he didn't mind having something to do with this exotic beauty. But since he had something to do, he could only refrain from it.
She glanced at Jiang Chen unexpectedly, in her impression, few rich people from Huaguo would refuse to have a beautiful affair with her. But she didn't say much, smiled generously, and then left with a gentle twist of her graceful figure.
Touching his hot nose, Jiang Chen pushed the door open.
The lights were turned on. Jiang Chen threw his backpack on the bed, then walked straight to the window and closed the curtains very carefully.
Taking out an alarm clock-sized object from his backpack, Jiang Chen placed it on the bedside table.
Considering that it is too low to use EMP every time for anti-surveillance, after discussing it with Yao Yao, Yao Yao used recycled electronic components to make this anti-surveillance gadget for him.
After turning on the power, the monitoring equipment within a radius of 20m will be affected, and the screen will be frozen at the moment when the shielding is activated. Including communications, which are whitelisted communication bands will be forcibly intercepted.
While this may be a bit of an overkill, it's always good to be prepared.
I figured out my phone. Jiang Chen called Aisha, who set off first.
"How's it going over there?"
"Already reached the outskirts of Donetsk. β
According to the plan, the two went to Ukraine separately. Not only did the flights be staggered, but Aisha would have traveled to the outskirts of Donetsk, an area controlled by government forces, a day earlier.
Although Jiang Chen was still a little worried. However, Aisha has repeatedly said that there is no need to worry about it. In the virtual reality training system, she received an A in the final assessment of the sniper project.
Coupled with the enhancement of genetic potions, as well as sophisticated weapons far ahead of the times, it seems that there is really no need to worry too much.
Perhaps, as Aisha complained, sometimes Jiang Chen did have an excess of protection.
"Hmm. Tomorrow I will meet with Nick and then go to the city of Donetsk. I'll send you the itinerary in a moment. Remember to stay safe. After speaking, Jiang Chen hung up the phone.
Looking at the still clear sky outside the window, Jiang Chen stretched, took out his laptop from his backpack, skillfully connected to the hotel's wifi, and then opened the mailbox.

Looking at the word "greedy for money", the corners of Jiang Chen's mouth raised a meaningful smile-
The above 3080 words, the following are not charged
(Suddenly I heard other authors say,My collection on UC is 19W,I don't know anywhere else.,The average subscription of the main station has been dropping or begging the uncles to subscribe and support.,Even if you subscribe to a few chapters for 1 yuan,It really doesn't cost much.γ There is no chance of publishing for those who write about the end times, let alone games or anything, so they rely on this subscription.
I really don't want to do the map cannon thing in the anti-piracy chapter.,But I code words in the dormitory every day after class.,Even LOL quit.,It's really good to hit my enthusiasm like this.,Is it really good?
To be realistic, if my writing is really so bad that it's not even worth a few cents, I can only choose to go to graduate school and go to PetroChina to engage in geological exploration or something after graduation.
Having said all this, it shouldn't be too much to beg for a subscription
In addition, the outbreak had to be postponed by one day, until October 4. Today, I have to use the manuscript when I take the car. (To be continued.) )
