Chapter 60 (I) The Sleeping Flight
Ah Yue's "sudden appearance" did not add some fun to this journey, on the contrary, it made Tang Shuxing feel that things were becoming more and more complicated.
Zhan Tianya said that Ah Yue is a multi-faceted spy, who bids high to help whoever does things, so it is not surprising that she has a certain connection with the Zheng family's drug empire. Perhaps, the concept of good and evil has been blurred in this kind of human mind.
As for how capable Ah Yue is, it can't be seen just from the fact that she dares to hide in the box.
In that enclosed space, she slept naked on an oxygen cylinder, relying on dry foam and straw to adapt to the temperature in the cabin, which only showed that she was bold and not afraid of death. And in the process of fighting with Tang Shuxing, although she used all ruthless killing moves, she was able to stop at the most critical time, which showed that she could control her emotions very well and could be free in any state.
Maybe it's the reason why Arita Longting is there, Ah Yue didn't say much, and what he said along the way was all topics that had nothing to do with the incident, the air current, temperature, humidity of the strait, what local food should be eaten in New Guinea, etc., and most of the words were said to Tian Longting, which made people feel that her appearance seemed to have nothing to do with Zhan Tianya.
If Tian Longting knew about Ah Yue's relationship with Zhan Tianya, would there still be a smile on his face?
Six hours later, the plane landed at an airport in the port of Madan, an independent country of Papua New Guinea on the island of New Guinea, and the said landing was not so much a forced landing, because the plane's aviation fuel had been completely exhausted, and it completely lost power at the moment of landing.
The plane fell into a mud puddle on the side of the runway. Tang Shuxing was still in shock as he clinged to his seat, and when the plane was completely stabilized, he heard Tian Longting's sudden exclamation: "Perfect landing!" ”
"Is that perfect?" While unbuckling his seat belt, Tang Shuxing looked out from the window, and could not see the ambulance and fire truck that arrived under normal circumstances, only a tattered flatbed truck slowly driving from a distance with black smoke.
Ji Kefeng was the first to get up and reached out to open the cabin door, but he didn't open it for a long time, and finally it was Tian Longting who kicked over a few times to loosen the safety lock next to the broken plane door, and then opened it.
Tian Longting stood at the door of the cabin and breathed in the fresh air. Tang Shuxing watched his entire back completely soaked with sweat. In fact, he was extremely nervous, otherwise why he was stunned in front of him for a long time after the plane was planted in the mud puddle.
Ji Kefeng was the first to jump off the plane, yawning and crawling out of the mud pit, and then squatted there to clean up the mud under his feet. He scolded and scolded something.
Ah Yue was the last one to get out of the cabin. At the same time, he also signaled Tian Longting not to leave. Let Gu Huaiyi and Tang Shuxing leave first.
Tang Shuxing climbed out of the mud puddle, and while cleaning up the mud, he saw Ah Yue and Tian Longting standing at the door of the cabin talking. Tian Longting's face was very unnatural, and he pointed to the inside of the cabin from time to time, probably talking about those boxes, but Ah Yue was always smiling, looking like he was sure of him.
At the same time, the tattered flatbed truck stopped at the edge of the mud pit, and two people got down from the car, and after confirming that it was Tian Longting, they immediately took out the walkie-talkie, and then a crane drove from a distance, stopped on one side, and began to lift the two boxes onto the flatbed truck under the command and cooperation of the two.
"Is there no one to take care of such a big smuggling?" Tang Shuxing looked at the crane that was slowly dragging the box out.
Gu Huaiyi sat on the ground and waited, looking at the sea not far away, and said: "The history of this country is a bit complicated, most of the time it was in a colonial or trusteeship state of other countries, it was almost anarchic before World War II, and at the same time as the new shipping route was opened, it became a free port for pirates in the South Pacific, and there are many secrets hidden here, do you know the way?" There is also a legend of the demonizer like the Shiva people in the Golden Triangle. ”
"Here, too?" Tang Shuxing looked around, "It looks like the environment." ”
"Maybe it really has something to do with the environment." Gu Huaiyi said with a smile, "Now many drug dealers regard this place as a drug transit place. It is relatively close to Indonesia, the Philippines and Australia, and almost all the drugs flowing to Australia and New Zealand have been dealt with here, and the governments of the United States and New Guinea have also cracked down, but the effect is not obvious. ”
"Is there a police in this country?" Tang Shuxing turned his head and looked at Tian Longting who was already standing in front of the tattered flatbed car talking to the two locals, the two of them looked very puzzled, and one of them also stretched out his hand and pointed at Ah Yue, shaking his head and waving his hand.
"The combined armed strength of this country is only 6,000 people, so let's put it this way, this country does not have the ability to wage a real war at all, and it is difficult to protect itself, so after joining the British Commonwealth, Australia became his protectorate." Gu Huaiyi said, looked at Ji Kefeng, who was deliberately standing far away, and said to Tang Shuxing, "Master Ji has changed. ”
"Leave him alone, he's still a kid." Tang Shuxing didn't bother to look at it.
At this moment, Ji Kefeng saw Tian Longting jump into the flatbed car, and followed the car carrying the box around to them, Tian Longting didn't get out of the car, just sat behind the trunk of the car, and said with an embarrassed face: "Young master, I can't go with you, I have to go through the formalities to transport things to Mexico, and the rest can only be left to her." ”
Tian Longting pointed behind the three of them, and Tang Shuxing turned around at this time, only to see Ah Key, who was already standing behind him.
"You're a cat, aren't you? Walking without a sound? Tang Shuxing frowned and looked at Ah Key.
Ah Jian said coldly: "Have you ever seen a cat with 37C?" ”
Tian Longting said goodbye, patted the roof of the cab, and the car immediately ran away with black smoke.
Ah Jian stood in front of the three of them, looking at the car in the distance, and after waiting for the car to disappear, she turned around and glanced at the three of them: "Please turn off the communication equipment on your body temporarily, and don't turn on any recording equipment, if the three of you leak what I want to say next, please bear any consequences arising from it." ”
Ji Kefeng gently put his backpack on the ground, didn't look at Ah Yue, and said bluntly: "If you have something to say, let's be in a hurry." ”
Ah Yue doesn't have to look at him squarely. said directly: "I will arrange your next time, don't have any doubts, if you have any doubts and any dissatisfaction, you can get out of here." ”
"Hey, do you think she looks like Zhan Tianya?" Tang Shuxing bumped Gu Huaiyi with his elbow in front of Ah Yue, "It's all the virtue of bastards." ”
"Let me explain two things first, one is that I want to get on the plane completely because of Zhan Tianya's begging! It's begging! Begging begs! Ah Yue looked down at the mud on his shoes. frowned. "Second, your friend, the mercenary named Tian Yehan has come to look for me, and now you have to contact him. Only through me ......"
"For what?" Tang Shuxing asked.
Ah Yue shrugged: "You ask Zhan Tianya yourself." He arranged it. As for the third one, you have to give enough money for this mission. And I have to satisfy my hobbies, or I will be able to turn against your enemies at any time, and I am like this, and the one who pays the highest will get it! ”
Tang Shuxing raised his eyebrows, deliberately licked his lips and asked, "What hobby?" ”
"You're interested?" Ah Yue approached Tang Shuxing, and suddenly had a smile on her face, as terrifying as a puppet that was manipulated, and then she leaned close to Tang Shuxing's ear and whispered, "I am weak, especially in winter, so when autumn comes, I will bring a pair of scissors, go out to collect the man's things, and then soak in wine and drink!" ”
Tang Shuxing squinted at Ah Key, and when she turned her eyes, she immediately said, "You will definitely live a long life." ”
"I will." Ah Jian smiled and asked, "Do you have any other questions?" ”
"Report! Yes! Tang Shuxing raised his head with his chest straightened and did not squint, "Excuse me, are you 36C or 37C!" ”
Ah Jian looked at Tang Shuxing and asked rhetorically: "Excuse me, are you an idiot or a fool?" ”
"Does it matter?" Tang Shuxing's gaze slanted over to look at her.
Ah Jian turned around and left, throwing down a sentence: "Then what does 36C or 37C have to do with you?" ”
Gu Huaiyi couldn't help laughing, and when Ah Jian walked away, he approached Tang Shu and said, "Second sentence, now I finally found someone to treat you." ”
"Go-" Tang Shuxing said disdainfully, "A few years ago, I stabbed her to death with a sword, and now I believe in Buddhism and don't kill." ”
The three of them followed Ah Jian out of the so-called airport, took a taxi that didn't look like a taxi, and then went straight to the local international airport, where they waited at the airport, which was at best a third the size of a domestic international airport and less than a train station.
Ah Key took out a three-locked box from the safe deposit box at the airport, which contained the passports of the four of them, and even the visas and other things were in order.
Ah Jian handed the things to the three of them: "Can you speak Cantonese?" If you can say it, start saying it now, even if it is pretending, these are all done by Zhan Tianya, your current identity is a tourist from Hong Kong to Hawaii, but based on the current unstable situation, it is possible that you will be identified after landing, it depends on luck. ”
After speaking, Ah Yue stretched out his hand and said, "Give me the weapon with you, and I will ask someone to ship it directly to Mexico." ”
Tang Shuxing hesitated for a moment, but still handed over the Long Lin Blade disguised as a fishing rod to Ah Yue, and Gu Huaiyi and Ji Kefeng also handed it over. Then Ah Yue turned around and left, and returned empty-handed after half an hour, and then looked at his watch and said: "Board at night, you can get to Kahului International Airport in the early morning, stay awake after landing, and everything is arranged by me." ”
The rest of the trip went very smoothly, boarding from the airport to the Hawaiian Islands, but the flight was delayed for an hour and a half due to turbulence in the seaplane, and it didn't land until 1 a.m., and after landing, Ah Yue immediately took them on another flight to Los Angeles, not to Monterrey, Mexico.
Before entering the security checkpoint, Tang Shuxing was about to ask what was going on, Ah Yue turned around and said, "I said, don't have any doubts, it only takes 5 hours from Honolulu to Los Angeles, bear with it, it's good for everyone." ”
Tang Shuxing nodded, and whispered to Gu Huaiyi beside him: "Why do you want to go to Los Angeles?" The previous arrangement was not like this, Zhan Tianya re-arranged? Don't let Tian Longting and them know our route? ”
"I don't know what to do." Gu Huaiyi looked around, "Don't you think it's weird to have a flight to Los Angeles at this time?" And there are so many people. ”
Tang Shuxing looked around and saw a lot of people waiting at the security checkpoint, and at this time there was only one flight to Los Angeles, and the security checkpoint was full of people waiting, and the security personnel inside also showed dissatisfaction on their faces. It seems that this flight should be added temporarily.
"Master Ji, have you sensed anything?" Tang Shuxing approached Ji Kefeng and asked.
Ji Kefeng seemed to be in a daze, and when he was asked by Tang Shuxing, he came back to his senses, rubbed his eyes and yawned: "No, everything is normal." ”
Tang Shuxing glanced at him, Ji Kefeng smiled at him, and Tang Shuxing said again: "Master Ji, I understand that there are emotions, but you can't carry this emotion all the time." We have a common purpose. And it has to be there. ”
"Understood! Got it! Ji Kefeng smiled, smiling naturally, and then looked ahead.
After the security check, there was little waiting. Everyone was lined up at the gate. Then check in and board the plane one by one. Tang Shuxing discovered a very, very strange thing. None of the people on this flight checked in their baggage when they changed their boarding passes. And most people don't have hand luggage, and only a few have a few small backpacks.
"It's weird." Tang Shuxing looked at the Boeing 747-8 parked outside the terminal, if it weren't for Gu Huaiyi's introduction, he wouldn't know what model it was, but he could see the model of the plane from the parking line below, this is the new model of 747, a large passenger plane that can carry more than 400 passengers, with a three-level cabin, and Zhan Tianya actually arranged a first-class cabin for them for the first time!
The four of them were the first to board the plane, and when they boarded the plane, they found that there were only four of them in the upper first-class cabin, and everyone who was originally suspicious was quickly attracted by this luxurious first-class cabin similar to a space capsule - Tang Shuxing and Ji Kefeng This was the first time to take the first-class cabin, and they didn't expect it to be such a big plane.
"The first class cabin uses a new light-emitting diode that simulates the hazy light from bright daylight to soft dusk and even evening." An American woman in a flight attendant's uniform appeared in front of them and introduced herself, "I'm Celeste. Home, the purser of the aircraft, welcomes you all on this flight. ”
"Uh-" Tang Shuxing remembered what Ah Yue said that he wanted to speak Cantonese, but he didn't know at all, so he had to "uh" there for a long time, and he still said it in English, while the purser, Celeste, politely listened to Tang Shuxing's nonsense, and then asked if he wanted something to drink.
Ah Yue sat in front and did not look back, at this time, Tang Shuxing had not yet noticed that they had been put into an empty coffin, and what was waiting for them was also a voyage of "going and not returning".
The lights in the first-class cabin softened, and the captain's voice was heard over the radio, followed by a slight vibration of the fuselage, which was a mobile paradise in the air compared to the broken plane they had flown in to New Guinea.
The plane went to the runway, and then began to wait for the order of the tower, because there was no other reason to take off and land the aircraft at this time, the plane quickly entered the runway and began to taxi, and then the speed became faster and faster, the engine entered the maximum power, and then the nose of the aircraft was lifted into the air.
After the plane reached the designated flight altitude, Tang Shuxing unbuckled his seat belt and got up and walked around, although he knew that it was very dirty, but he couldn't help it, after all, a person like him would never have the opportunity to take such a plane a few times in his life.
After asking the purser, Tang Shuxing walked down the stairs slowly by himself, wanting to see what business class and economy class looked like, but after walking down the stairs and entering the economy class, he saw another scene - the passengers in the entire economy class were sleeping soundly, and they could hear snoring from time to time.
"All asleep?" Tang Shuxing looked at the display screen next to him, it was already 3 o'clock in the morning, and it was normal for people to fall asleep when they were most sleepy, but then Tang Shuxing went to the business class and found that whether it was the upper business class or the lower business class, the people inside were all asleep, and no one was awake.
Tang Shuxing became alert, he deliberately walked to a seat and touched the man's face, and when the back of his hand just touched it, he immediately bounced back - the man seemed to have a fever, but the color of his face did not change, and his expression was not uncomfortable, not like a person with a high fever.
Just ask a flight attendant. When Tang Shuxing turned around, he bumped into a person, startling him, and when he looked closely, he realized that it was Gu Huaiyi.
Gu Huaiyi raised a finger to signal him not to make a sound, and then looked at the people who were asleep and asked, "Are the passengers on the upper deck also asleep?" ”
"Yes." Tang Shuxing said in a low voice, "I don't know what Lu Dao is for, is it that what hypnotic gas is released?" ”
"Impossible." Gu Huaiyi shook his head, "If that's the case, we would have fallen asleep early." ”
"I'll go ask the flight attendant." Tang Shuxing walked to the rear of the cabin, but in the back compartment, he found that the two flight attendants who were supposed to be in service were also asleep sitting on the folding chairs, and the seat belts were still tightly tied.
Tang Shuxing squatted down, looked at the name on the nameplate on the flight attendant's chest, and then called her name, trying to wake her up, but no matter what method was used, the other party just wouldn't wake up. Tang Shuxing turned his head and shook his head at Gu Huaiyi, who was trying to wake up the other flight attendant, and Gu Huaiyi also shook his head, indicating that this one here was also asleep.
"Oh no, cockpit!" Tang Shuxing got up and ran in the direction of the first-class cabin, Gu Huaiyi followed, the two returned to the first-class cabin, and as soon as they entered, they saw that the purser named Celeste was leading the other three first-class flight attendants to talk to Ah Yue and the others.
Seeing this, Tang Shuxing felt very surprised, and subconsciously turned his head and asked Gu Huaiyi: "Do you know what the staffing of this kind of aircraft is?" ”
"This is 747-8, I only know that there are 13-a-side and 17-a-side systems on the ordinary 747 of Ludao, including pursers and regional pursers, of course, it does not include air protection, and it is different from China, the air security here is mixed with passengers, 1 person on a small plane, maybe a large aircraft, and the staffing is different according to the situation." As Gu Huaiyi spoke, he looked at Celeste coming over with a puzzled expression.
"Do you need help?" Celeste smiled professionally.
"Uh-" Tang Shuxing said, pointing to the stairs behind, "I went downstairs earlier and found that everyone was asleep, and the flight attendants below were also asleep. ”
Celeste frowned slightly, and immediately relaxed: "Two gentlemen, that can't be ......" Speaking of this, she pointed to the staircase behind Tang Shuxing and said, "That is the flight attendant in the lower cabin. Miss Corfield. ”
Tang Shuxing and Gu Huaiyi turned around and saw a flight attendant who had just gone up the stairs, judging from his face, he was indeed one of the people who had been tied up before, and now the flight attendant was very puzzled by the eyes thrown by Tang Shuxing and Gu Huaiyi, and he didn't know what was going on in Lu Dao at all.
"What?" Tang Shuxing was already stunned. (To be continued......)
