Compared with the rough Congo River, the Eyre River flows much more slowly, and the length of the Eyre River is not long, about 700 or 800 kilometers, and it originates in the highlands of East Africa.

The boat was also running at a steady speed of about 20 knots per hour, and after two hours, the surrounding desert hills were gone, replaced by dense forests on both sides.

Claire pushed her eyes on the bridge of her nose, and then said loudly to the back boat, "Guys, the jungle here is home to the world's shortest people - pygmies, don't look at these guys are small, but they are unusually strong and brave, now let's hang the green Budo on the boat, these pygmies will not directly attack us with bows and arrows coated with poison when they see them." ”

When Alexander the Great Bear heard this, he couldn't help but wonder, "Mr. Claire, our cruise ship is very quiet, and there are lush forests on both sides of the river, so the pygmies are still listening to the wind?"

Claire smiled slightly, then nodded, "Man, you're really right, I'll tell you the truth, pygmies have a very sensitive sense of hearing, sight, and smell, and are masters of hunting. If a bee flies by at a distance of 10 meters from them, they can accurately tell the species and male and female of the bee. ”

Everyone was amazed to hear that these pygmies were so powerful.

Claire continued, "But don't worry, as long as we hang a green strip of cloth on the ship, these pygmies won't attack us?"

"It seems that this pygmy also understands international law. Elbuk laughed to himself.

"Haha......" Elbuk's words caused everyone to laugh.

The scenery on both sides of the Eyre River is really good, and from time to time you can see a lot of birds soaring in the air, these tropical birds are all long and beautiful, and a fish jumps out of the calm river from time to time.

Taking this opportunity, the knowledgeable Claire also began to educate everyone about the knowledge here.

"Sir, why are there no crocodiles here?"

"There were actually crocodiles here, but due to human hunting, most of the crocodiles here have run to the swamps in the lower reaches of Lake Albert, where it is a paradise for crocodiles. ”

"Meaning there are one or two once in a while?"

Claire thought for a moment, then nodded, "You can understand it that way, but there are really not many of them." ”

"What about gorillas? I heard a guy say that the gorillas on both sides of the Congo River have very different shapes and personalities, but from the DNA test, they are really in the same family, what's going on?"

"This is also related to the environment in which they live, the south bank has a large population of gorillas, and the natural resources are not so abundant, so the south bank gorillas are fierce and aggressive, which is called 'natural selection, survival of the fittest', while the north shore is just the opposite, the gorillas living there have a small population, plus the natural conditions are superior, so after millions of years of evolution, the gorillas here are much gentler. ”

With Claire, an African jack-of-all-trades, these mercenaries from Russia began to be happy, and they kept asking all kinds of questions, and Claire always answered them impatiently.

"Dudu ......" was chatting happily, when suddenly a whistle came from the front, Yang Tianlong and they looked ahead, and it turned out to be dozens of soldiers armed with AKs and bazookas standing on the side of the Ugandan border.

"Don't worry, this is the security checkpoint in Uganda, and these guys won't embarrass us. With that, Claire motioned for the boat to dock.

"Hey guys, hello. Claire strode ashore.

"Who are you?" the black man at the head asked, looking at Claire.

"We're a United Nations expedition, do you see the flags on the cruise ships?" Claire said, gesturing to the flags flying high above the two cruise ships.

"Please show your ID. "The blacks were polite, too.

Claire nodded, then pulled out her papers.

The black man looked at it and said, "You're a botanist and botanist?"

"Yes, we will conduct a scientific study of the environment, flora and fauna of the Eyre River Basin. ”

"Well, you guys stay safe. The black man simply flipped through it and gave it directly to Claire.

Soon, the two boats continued to move forward.

"Be careful later, 10 kilometers ahead is the Congo-South Sudan border, where there will be South Sudanese militias. ”

"Sir, is that guy more difficult to deal with?" Yang Tianlong couldn't help but ask.

Claire nodded, "That's right, it's a civil war zone now, and those guys are as wild as the gorillas on the southern shore, but they don't kill people and buy goods, at most they take a small advantage, but I won't give them this tip unless I have to." ”

After saying this, I saw Claire take out two hundred-dollar bills from the bag she was carrying.

"Here, the US dollar is far more reliable than the South Sudanese pound. Claire said with a serious face.

Claire is right, for a war-torn country, it is not easy for the currency to maintain a strong exchange rate, maybe today's 1,000 yuan will only be worth 1 yuan tomorrow.

It can be seen that Claire is not completely old-fashioned, and this old man is also a guy who knows how to be flexible.

Sure enough, more than twenty minutes after the boat lined, dozens of soldiers in camouflage and berets appeared on the left side of the Eyre River, all of whom looked thin and malnourished.

They signaled the boat to pull over with flags.

"Guys, let's pull over. Claire waved her hand.

Soon, all of these dozens of soldiers jumped up.

"Hey, what are you guys doing?" said one of the guys, sipping a cigar in his mouth.

"We are a United Nations scientific expedition team, specializing in the environment of the Eyre River basin and the flora and fauna on both sides of the river to conduct scientific research, I am Claire, a botanist and botanist from the United States, this is my business card. After saying that, Claire respectfully handed over the business card and documents.

The guy took the business card and ID and looked at it, he didn't say anything, but his eyes kept sweeping around the two pleasure boats.

His men had already entered the cabins and searched them.

Soon, the soldiers also came out of the cabin, "Mr. Major, not too many guns were found, except for two shotguns. ”

"Ahem, sir, shotguns are not allowed here, and we are required to pay a $100 fine. The guy said loudly.

"And how do we protect ourselves?" Claire was puzzled.

"You don't have to get off the boat, there aren't many crocodiles here. The guy said.

"Oh my God, man, are we going to stay on the boat all the time if we don't get off the ship?"

"Then you're going to come down and investigate?" the guy couldn't help but ask.

"Since it's an investigation, it's definitely going to come down. Claire said loudly.

"But your shotguns are dangerous goods, and according to the regulations, you will be fined, and they will cause harm to the animals here. ”

These guys are unreasonable, and there are always countless reasons.

"Oh, by the way, I also found you have a suspicious place here?" the guy said as he grimaced, "I don't think you're an investigator, you look like mercenaries who came to help our enemies fight guerrillas, do you?"
