Chapter 59: The Adventures of a Small Airplane
The group took their luggage and equipment off the plane, and a pickup truck drove up in the distance.
"Haha, Professor Myers, welcome back to Honduras." A lean white man got out of the car and shook the professor's hand enthusiastically.
"Hello, Terry." Professors are happy to work with people they know.
He looked Li and Jessica up and down, pouted and shook his head, and said to the professor, "Professor, the rainforest is not a good place to teach, I hope you have bought them enough personal accident insurance." ”
After saying that, I helped them load their luggage into the back bucket. Lee shrugged at Jessica, ignoring the contempt for them, both of whom looked like thrill-seeking teenage boys and girls in the metropolis.
Arriving in a hangar in a truck, Terry began to busily load his luggage onto another small plane.
"Is it okay to leave your luggage on the plane?" Jessica asked curiously.
"Don't worry, the security guards at the airport will shoot strangers when they see them. Everyone in Honduras has guns, so the security guards are the best weapons, and the doors are full of machine guns. Terry smiled at the beauty and reassured her, though it felt more terrifying.
In the evening, everyone finished eating and chatting in a hotel lobby near the airport, where there was a skinned crocodile specimen.
"Is there really a crocodile as big as this guy there?" Jessica asked curiously.
"Hey, it's bigger than that. If you're looking to see animals that aren't in the zoo, you've come to the right place. The jungle is full of strange animals that you haven't seen before. Terry said as he sipped his drink.
After saying that, he turned his head and asked the professor, "Professor, are you really planning to go to the Mosquitia area on foot?" ”
"Yes, what's the problem?"
"It's nothing," Terry pouted, "I've just heard that the Indian tribes there like to cut off people's heads for war booty, and if you can come back alive, you can bring me one as a souvenir." ”
After hearing this, Locke, who was wiping a gun on the side, raised his head and laughed, "I like this habit." ”
Looking at Locke's figure, Terry closed his mouth and continued to drink his wine.
Li ignored them and talked to the old professor: "Professor Myers, there are only 3 people in your scientific expedition team, is it enough?" ”
"It doesn't matter, they are all assistants who have been with me for a long time, and there are many people in the rainforest who are not much use, but will become a burden." In contrast, the old professor was more worried about Lee and Jessica, but out of politeness, he didn't say it.
Lee nodded apologetically to the old professor's assistants, Hal and Dom, and the two raised their glasses in a friendly manner, not angry.
Early in the morning, at the airport.
"Passengers bound for the mysterious White City are on the plane!" Terry shouted, revving up his twin-engine Cessna engine.
Everyone got on the plane, and the small plane slowly taxied along the lawn runway with a bump, gradually accelerating.
The plane lazily ascended and gradually entered the mountains northeast of Tegucigalpa.
Looking at the towering peaks on both sides of the plane, Li asked worriedly, "Can we fly over the top of the mountain?" Of course, in the roar of the engines on both sides, he could only shout.
"We can cross between two mountains," Terry exclaimed, reassuringly, "don't worry, I'm a 10-year-old accident-free pilot." ”
Nonsense! The accident was all dead, and Li cursed in his heart. As they rushed at full speed toward the daunting stone walls and snow and ice, Lee had only one hope in his heart, and this time, Terry would not "break the record".
In an instant, the stone wall in front of me seemed to retreat, and a mountain gorge opened out in front of me. On both sides of the canyon, huge cliffs are pressed down with a formidable momentum. Can the plane fly a little higher and avoid this danger altogether?
Suddenly, the plane descended sharply, and the hands of the altimeter began to spin.
"Hey! No way! Terry exclaimed, trying to get the head of the departing plane up.
Eventually, they broke free of the downdraft, but the plane was only 500 meters from the rocky canyon floor. Terry tried his best to get the plane up, but without success. In order to avoid the cliffs, the little plane flew sideways and circled again and again, so exhausted that it no longer had the strength to fly upward. Now, the only way to do this is to fly down the twisting rock face while asking the gods of fate to bless them from encountering downdrafts again.
Thankfully, the bottom of the canyon finally sank, and the hideous cliffs receded, bowing their heads in defeat. The little plane finally sped up violently and triumphantly out of the canyon into a new world.
Locke had been studying the map of Honduras when he looked up and saw Jessica and Finley's faces pale, and asked casually, "Is something wrong?" ”
Lee wanted to skin him alive. And the pilot who didn't care about anything, he really wanted to scold him for being a bloody dog. I can't help it, the goddess of fate must be in love with this young man!
The endless forest under the wings is lush. There is never a risk of drought here. The stream that meanders through the green fields resembles a winding silver path.
"Look, that pink cloud!" Jessica was amazed, she couldn't believe her eyes.
Really, a colorful cloud floated over the forest.
"It's butterflies," Professor Myers explained to her with a smile, "hundreds of thousands of butterflies." There is also a type of cloud, which is made up of parakeets. The country's clouds come in all colors – red, green, yellow, and colorful. You'll know when you see the parrot cloud and the owl cloud. You'll think you're looking at a colorful picture. ”
It wasn't long before Terry was ready to land in a small hamlet called Puyo at the end of civilization.
In a grassy clearing, the plane slowly stopped.
It was a campsite next to the river, uncovered by trees, where the grass grew not so crazy, and the local people's village was not far from here, and some children hid behind the trees and watched the group curiously.
Terry helped them load their gear onto a boat by the river, then waved goodbye to everyone: "I'll wait here for you for a month, and if you don't come back, I'll give you a call to Chicago." ”
With Terry's cursed farewell, the expedition sailed out of the camp and headed downstream.
Thousands of kilometers away from here is the city of Atlanta, Georgia, USA.
On the grass in front of an old wooden villa, a tall old man was lazily dozing on his huge chaise longue, the sun shining through the leaves of the tree above him, and the dappled light and shadow dazzled the old man's eyes and made him unable to sleep.
The old man sat up, felt the warm breeze, and squinted his eyes to look around. There was no one in the streets in the afternoon, except for a red ribbon tied to the lamppost when the children played, which was fluttering in the wind and making a slight sound.
The old man smiled and shook his head, he hadn't eaten fresh chicks for a long time, and he could improve his diet at night. He straightened his unusually slender arms and yawned, ready to continue his nap.
With a soft sound, the old man's expression froze, and his upper body lay heavily on the chair, and there was a finger-thick hole in his temple, and dark red blood mixed with white things slowly flowed out of the hole.
Where his unfocused eyes were looking, a silvery-white arrow slowly melted and merged with the lamppost it had pierced, and no one could spot the anomaly.
One kilometer away in the middle of the street park, on the tallest tree. Dana retracted his massive bow into his body, jumped down, and patted John, who was dozing under the tree, "Let's go, mission accomplished." ”
John stood up sleepily and yawned as he followed Dana to the car on the side of the road, muttering, "It's a terrible thing for an ogre to live in such a nice place, but fortunately, from today onwards, the surrounding neighborhoods won't lose children so often." ”
Dana looked into the distance and said with a cold face, "It's cheap to let it die so happily." By the way, Hobbes, call David and ask him to wrap it up. With that, he got into the cab.
"Okay, I hope he likes the gift." The black guy in the back seat picked up the phone.
