3. Companions waiting for opportunities
There was no danger, except for the half-drunk bottle of mineral water on his body that was confiscated by the security check, Yang Tianlong successfully passed the security check and went straight to the boarding gate.
Compared with the bustling passengers in the waiting area of domestic flights, international flights seem to be much deserted here, probably because it is still early, in the rest area of the boarding gate, Yang Tianlong did not see a few people.
Previously, the system told him that the Africa Encyclopedia could only be automatically triggered after he entered the territory of the Congo, and now his knowledge of the Congo, especially Bunia, was limited to some information on the Internet.
Topographically, the Democratic Republic of the Congo is located right in the heart of the African continent, while his destination, Bunia, is in the northeast, 50 kilometers from the famous Lake Albert. 1,200 meters above sea level. It has a population of 22,000. It is mainly mining, plantation and tourism.
However, there is only so much information that can be obtained on the Internet, and for Yang Tianlong, this is definitely far from enough, and it seems that more information can only be obtained after the African Encyclopedia is unlocked.
After staying in the huge waiting hall for about two hours, the flow of people began to gradually increase, especially after a group of middle-aged migrant workers came to his location, he felt the large population of Huaxia.
It turned out that this group of migrant workers was a technician recruited by a Chinese-funded enterprise in Congo to do some construction work.
The leading manager, Liu Shengli, is as talkative as Yang Tianlong, and he told Yang Tianlong that these migrant workers can get more than 10,000 yuan a month in Congo, including food and accommodation, a round-trip air ticket every year, and a month to visit relatives.
However, their destination is different from Yang Tianlong, they are mainly in Kinshasa, the capital of Congo, and Liu Shengli does not seem to have any impression of what Yang Tianlong said about Bunia.
"However, Brother Yang, if you are going to Bunia, if there is an airport there, it is best to take a plane. Liu Shengli said seriously.
Yang Tianlong seemed to understand the meaning of Liu Shengli's words, "Brother Liu, do you mean that there is still chaos along the way?"
Liu Shengli nodded and said: "Chaos is inevitable, another point is that the traffic in the Congo is very poor, except for the capital and larger places, basically based on dirt roads, unlike our country, which basically has direct buses in larger places, according to my opinion, you go from Kinshasa to Bunia, you can't go at all without a week." ”
Africa's poor traffic is world-famous, but Yang Tianlong did not expect that it could be so bad, Kinshasa is about 2,000 kilometers away from Bunia, and in China, the slowest can be reached within 20 hours. And in Congo, it will take at least a week, and if something goes wrong in the middle, it is even more unpredictable.
Liu Shengli has been in Congo for two years, and although he is relatively familiar with the Congo, he is only limited to the capital and the coast, and he is not very clear about the real heart of Africa.
However, the two chatted very well, especially after hearing that Yang Tianlong's major was French, Liu Shengli hurriedly asked him to leave a phone number.
The reason is simple: it is not easy to find a better French translator carrying a lantern in Africa now.
"How many months does your visa last?" Liu Shengli was very curious.
"Three years. Yang Tianlong said with a smile.
"You don't need to have such a long visa for tourism. Liu Shengli looked surprised.
"Hey, I didn't know it at the time, I did it in a daze, and it took a long time, in case there was a chance in the future, it would save trouble. Yang Tianlong said.
Liu Shengli nodded, "That's true, but in Africa, it's not enough to be bold, you have to be careful, Brother Yang can be more careful there, don't be deceived." ”
Yang Tianlong was very grateful for Liu Shengli's pertinent words, and he nodded, "Thank you Brother Liu for your advice." ”
The two chatted for a while, and when they saw that it was almost time to board, they stopped the conversation.
It was already 1 a.m., and 12 hours later, the Ethiopian Airbus 350 plane would land at Addis Ababa International Airport, the capital of Ethiopia, and arrive five hours later on a flight from Ethiopian Airlines to Kinshasa, four hours later.
Walking across the long covered bridge to the cabin, I originally thought that the flight attendants of Egypt Airlines were all black pearls, but this time Yang Tianlong was a little dumbfounded, at least the flight attendants of this flight were not black, and they were quite good-looking.
Ethiopia has produced beautiful women since ancient times, which is not unrelated to the country's climate, which is very different from most African countries with drought and little rainfall, this country is known as the "East African water tower", and the rainfall is relatively abundant. Although it is located in the tropics, the climate is mild due to its high terrain, with average annual temperatures ranging from 10 degrees Celsius to 27 degrees Celsius. To the envy of other African neighbors, Ethiopia is free from the sand and scorching heat of Ethiopia due to the mild climate brought by the higher altitudes, so the delicate-skinned and tender beauties grow like the flowers and plants along the Addis Ababa Road.
On the world pageant stage, there is no shortage of Ethiopian girls.
Looking at the beautiful girls in front of him, Yang Tianlong's gaze was dull for a while, until someone next to him urged him to hurry in, and then he hurriedly walked towards the cabin.
Yang Tianlong's seat happened to be at the emergency escape door, but instead of sitting by the window, he sat in the aisle, and to his left sat two migrant workers who had gone to the Congo with Liu Shengli.
"Hello, sir, this is an emergency door, please do not open it until you have to. Seeing that the plane was almost full, a tall, slightly darkened woman who looked like someone from Xinjiang said in her not-so-standard Chinese.
The two migrant workers next to Yang Tianlong looked a little confused, I don't know if it was because of the first time I took a plane or because the flight attendant's Chinese was too poor, in short, they didn't understand what it meant.
Seeing that the two of them didn't quite understand what they meant, the stewardess was a little anxious, and she couldn't help but repeat it again.
"What's the last resort?" the innermost migrant worker seemed to understand.
It doesn't matter if he understands, this Egyptian Airlines lady is confused, after all, she has so many Chinese words.
In a hurry, Yang Tianlong hurriedly asked in French: "Excuse me, miss, do you speak French?"
Seeing that the gentleman next to her could speak French, the Egyptian Airlines lady was overjoyed, and she quickly nodded, "French and English are fine." ”
"Then I'll transfer it to my compatriots. Yang Tianlong told her with a smile.
"Really? Thank you so much, sir. ”
"It's okay. "For beautiful women, Yang Tianlong is always very patient.
"Thank you. Hope we can satisfy you with excellent service. After finishing speaking, the Egyptian Airlines lady gave Yang Tianlong a shallow charming smile.
Suddenly, at this moment, the system, which had been silent for a long time, spoke.
"Host, do you think this flight attendant is beautiful?"
