Early the next morning, when the six members of Tactical Group B and Fang Hongyu came out of An Lu's stilted building, An Lu had already put the raft in the tributary behind the stilted building. The entire raft is composed of more than a dozen trunks of two people with a combined thickness, and the trunks are connected by thin wires, and the buoyancy of the raft is very large, even if the six people of Tactical Group B plus Fang Hongyu and An Lu, a total of eight people are all standing on it, there is no problem.

After all the personnel arrived, Anlu jumped ashore to say a short goodbye to his family, threw fresh water and bread on the raft, and took Luo Hao and his group to float all the way along this tributary of the Amazon River. Luo Hao and his family are deep in the Amazon rainforest, and if they don't have helicopter transportation like Felunan, they can only take a raft down the Amazon River like they do now, into a small town along the coast, and then find a way to get to Rio de Janeiro from there.

The whole rafting process was very long, and Luo Hao and they spent nine days on the raft! On the way, Anlu told Luo Hao and the others that the destination of their trip was a small town called Monaghan, where Anlu would sell the raft they were currently on and take a cargo ship home, where Luo Hao and the others could also find a boat to Rio de Janeiro.

Nine days later, when the six men of Tactical Group B stepped back on solid ground, they couldn't help but sigh that it felt good to be grounded.

Anlu was familiar with the small town of Monaghan, and he quickly found the buyer of the raft, and after the two sides haggled the price, the merchant who bought the wood gave Anlu 500 basils, equivalent to $250. Anlu repeatedly lost the money in his hand, and after confirming that the amount was correct, he was satisfied and put the money into his personal pocket.

Anlu went to the town for a walk, bought some daily necessities, walked to Luo Hao and the others to say goodbye to them, the return freighter he was going to take was about to anchor soon, if he missed this freighter, he would need to spend more than a hundred basilis in the hotel in Monagan Town for two days, and Anlu was definitely not willing to spend this additional expense.

It took almost a month from Anlu cutting down trees to make a raft to drifting to Monagan to sell the wood and returning to his home. A month's effort, at most, could earn Anlu and his family about $300, but if the Amazon River floods during the rainy season, he can't continue to make the only living income for his family. So Anlu has to be careful with every penny he spends.

The town of Monagan is not big or prosperous, and it has the feeling of a rural-urban junction in China. On the way to Monaghan, Anlu told Luo Hao that although Monagan is a town, it is actually a place for merchants to transit, and there will be a boat to Rio de Janeiro every day, and Luo Hao and they only need to spend some money to get on the ship.

"Let's go, let's find a place to stay here for one night today, and then find a way to take a boat to Rio de Janeiro tomorrow." Luo Hao glanced at the brothers beside him and said.

Several people nodded, and after agreeing with Luo Hao's opinion, they walked into the town. Relatively close to the pier, I found a hotel.

"We need two rooms, connected or opposite." Luo Hao walked to the front desk of the hotel, and said in English to the innkeeper who was holding a bucket of instant noodles and eating deliciously, about forty years old and bloated.

The proprietress sitting on the chair sucked a piece of instant noodles from the chopsticks into her mouth, raised her eyes to look at the seven yellow-skinned, dark-haired Asians standing in front of the counter, and replied lazily in broken English mixed with local accents, which could barely be understood: "One hundred dollars per room, one hundred dollars per night." ”

One, a hundred dollars?! Hearing the quote from the boss's mouth, Xu Xudong almost jumped up and scolded his mother. At present, this hotel is a few points worse than the roadside hotel of 50 yuan a night in China, and it costs 100 US dollars a night! Where is this business, it is simply robbery!

Just when Xu Xudong pointed to the price card hanging on the wall next to him and was about to debate with the innkeeper, he was stopped by Luo Hao. He took out two bills directly from his trouser pocket and handed them to the proprietress .

Seeing the two green dollars in Luo Hao's hand, the proprietress trembled fiercely with her hand holding the instant noodle bucket, but she didn't expect that the price she was talking about, and the other party would pay for it directly if she was so refreshing. The wrinkled face of the proprietress immediately smiled into a brilliant chrysanthemum. After snatching the money from Luo Hao's hand, he took down two door keys from the shelf behind him and threw them to Luo Hao, for fear that Luo Hao would suddenly regret it.

Luo Hao took the key, looked at the door number on the plastic plate of the key, and went upstairs along the stairs.

Looking at the two banknotes in her hand, the proprietress glanced at the backs of Luo Hao and a few of them on the stairs, and at the same time she was excited and a little regretful, she knew that these people in front of her were so "stupid", and they should have raised the price a little higher just now!

"Haozi, what did you stop me just now? This is a black shop, and the old lady is obviously killing us! Xu Xudong glanced at Luo Hao, obviously a little dissatisfied with his quick compromise just now.

"I know." Luo Hao shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said, "But we are not familiar with life here, no matter what price the other party offers, we can only choose to compromise." Moreover, there are a lot of people here, and there may be people from Falunan, and if we quarrel over a little money, it will be very bad for us to expose our whereabouts. The things that can be solved with money in this world are not called things, not to mention, we don't spend our own money, what do you hurt? ”

This hotel has three floors, and Luo Hao's room is on the third floor of the top floor. Tactical Group B and Fang Hongyu's room were opposite the door, and after Luo Hao handed one of the keys to Fang Hongyu, he used the remaining key to open the door.

As soon as I pushed the door open, a musty smell mixed with human sweat and bodily fluids hit my nose. Luo Hao waved his hand in front of his nose, frowning and pressing the light button on the wall at the door. The whole room is only about a dozen square meters in size, in addition to the big bed in the center of the room, there is also a ghost knows if it can still be used.

Luo Hao carefully looked at the layout of the room, confirmed the escape path that could be used in case of emergency, closed the door, pulled out the pistol from the back waist, checked the bullet, pulled the sleeve to load the bullet, and said to the other five people in the room: "The environment here is complicated and unfamiliar, everyone make sure that their weapons are in a usable state, don't sleep to death at night!" ”
