Chapter 34: The Land of Cactus

Bourne piloted the plane from San Diego, USA, to the city of San Diego, USA, bypassing the radar and into Tijuana, Mexico.

Tijuana may be Mexico's fourth-largest city, but when viewed from the air, the world's only superpower on one side and a developing country on the other, the difference is striking.

When I flew through the city of San Diego, I saw tall buildings, swaying green trees, and white clouds gently fluttering in the blue sky.

Once in Tijuana, however, there is a clutter of buildings, no grass grows on the water-scarce land, and the rush of people seems to tell the world that it is still trying to develop.

After entering Tijuana, one of the plane's engines suddenly stopped working, and Byrne looked at the pointer on the fuel gauge, the fuel level was already close to zero, and he couldn't help frowning.

Although he had long made accurate calculations between distance and fuel volume, the actual range of an aircraft was often affected by flight speed, load, meteorological conditions, optional equipment and other factors that no one could predict in advance.

Byrne tried to turn off all unnecessary instruments to reduce fuel consumption, and everyone on board began to get a little nervous.

Byrne lowered his flight altitude and headed straight for the farm on the outskirts of Tijuana, a coordinate that Nathan had already known to him.

Although the stacks of wood in the wheat field look chaotic on the ground, when Bern looks down from the sky, they form a large GOOD letter, and behind the letters there is a straw to form the shape of an arrow.

The arrow pointed to a runway directly in front of the wheat field, which faced a barn in the distance, on which a large tuna-embroidered flag had been raised, fluttering in the wind and shining in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Byrne was overjoyed, this was exactly the docking code that Nathan had told him, and he hurriedly pressed the nose of the plane and flew straight down the runway.

Just as the plane was rapidly falling, the last engine also stopped working, and Bourne completely followed the inertia, maneuvering the plane to land.

Byrne lowered the landing gear, then turned off all the electronics, and the plane hit the ground with a "boom".

The runway was not smooth, the plane was diving forward on the runway, everyone felt a violent jolt, the whole fuselage seemed to be torn apart at any moment, and everyone's hearts were once again in their throats.

Bourne controlled the direction with a stern expression, and the plane taxied by inertia for nearly a hundred meters, and the speed finally slowed down.

Hutter walked to the barn in three steps and two steps, and pulled the barn door open.

The plane slowly slid into the barn.

Because of the cactus all over the territory of Mexico, even the currency is printed with the cactus pattern, and the national flag is also an eagle holding a snake standing on the cactus. Therefore, it is also called the country of cacti by the world.

In addition to the beautiful scenery of the Caribbean Sea, the food of this ancient civilization in Central America is also very rich.

Because they were ruled by Spain and influenced by ancient Indian culture, their dishes are mainly sour and spicy.

Chili peppers have become an indispensable food for Mexicans.

The dinner was very rich, with soups, desserts, main dishes, corn, ink salads, and wine.

Goonev looked at the cactus with green and red peppers in front of him, and his brows couldn't help but furrow, these dishes were simply unheard of for him growing up in Russia.

He squinted at Amanda beside him, and saw Amanda staring at the various peppers in front of him, as if he were facing a great enemy.

Glover and Professor Shen Fei didn't attend the banquet, they were resting in the back, and Hut had already called his brother to call a nearby doctor.

Byrne first picked up a glass of red wine and said to Huth:

"Thank you so much for your gracious hospitality and I wish you good health in the name of God. ”

Seeing this, everyone picked up the red wine in front of them and drank it all.

Hute's beard trembled and he smiled very heartily.

He said to Bourne and Amanda and the others:

"Nathan is a dear friend of mine, I have great respect for this man, he is kind, brave, and upright, and I propose that we all have another toast for the sake of friendship. ”

After that, everyone drank it all again.

Then Hutter said: "Friends, I very much hope that you can stay, this is my territory, you can live here with peace of mind." ”

He glanced at the crowd, and then said:

"However, Nathan has also explained that you need to go to Hong Kong as soon as possible, where he is waiting to meet you, so you will soon continue to leave for Mexico City after resting with me for a few days. ”

Amanda was taken aback: "Mexico City, where are you going?"

Hutter shrugged: "Tijuana is a small city and there are no planes to Hong Kong, so you have to go to Mexico City first and then to Hong Kong." ”

"Amanda, our little plane is so small, it's already the limit to fly here, and it's impossible to cross the Pacific Ocean from here to Hong Kong, so we have to take a passenger plane," Byrne said. ”

Hute took out a few passports at this time and put them on the table: "Don't worry, I have already made your passports for you in advance, and they are exactly the same as the real ones." ”

Then the door suddenly opened, and Hutt's brother strode in: "The doctor has arrived." ”

When everyone heard this, they hurriedly followed Huter's brother to the backyard.

I saw a tall and thin man in his forties, wearing a white coat, examining Glover's wounds.

Everyone stood aside and did not speak, quietly watching the doctor examine the injured.

After a while, the doctor finished examining Glover and Professor Shen Fei and came to everyone.

Ivana asked, "Doctor, how's it going?"

The doctor said: "It is very good, it is treated in a timely manner, and there is no danger to the wounded." ”

"The young man had an abrasion on his abdomen, and I disinfected him and changed the dressing regularly, and it would heal in a few days. ”

"This old gentleman is also very lucky, the bullet did not hurt the bone, but the bullet needs to be taken out immediately, you bring him to my office, I will operate immediately. ”

At this time, Hute suddenly smiled and said to the doctor: "Doctor, let's operate here, if you need anything, I will send someone to your clinic to get it." ”

The doctor was stunned for a moment, he knew that there were no medical conditions here, but looking at Hutepi's smiling expression, he didn't speak again, but still lowered his head and made a list and handed it to him.

Hutter immediately handed the list to his brother and told him to go to the clinic immediately to pick it up.

Then he accompanied the doctor to the antechamber to wait.

Byrne, Amanda, and others surrounded Glover and Professor Shen Fei.

Amanda told everyone about her plans to go to Hong Kong via Mexico City.

Glover's eyes moistened slightly: "Amanda, I hope you can do well, we will always be best friends." ”

Ivana also hugged Amanda: "Amanda, you must remember to contact me when you get there." ”

Byrne said: "I told Hutt, Ivana, you accompany Glover here to recuperate, and when he recovers, he will arrange for someone to send you back to Los Angeles." ”

Then he turned to look at Professor Shen and said:

"Professor, we'll probably stay here for a few days and wait for you to get the bullets out before making a decision. ”

Professor Shen understood what he meant, and said, "My injuries are not in the way, and we will leave as soon as the bullets are removed." ”

Byrne patted Professor Shen on the shoulder: "Don't worry, Professor, let's wait until your injuries are stable before we leave." ”

Then he turned around and asked, "What are you going to do, Gonev? Do you want to stay here, or do you want to come with us?"

At this time, Goonev was in a very complicated mood, he originally planned to go to the Russian Far East, cash in those gold bars, and then open a tavern incognito.

But now that he has heard the mystery of his life experience, if he doesn't go with Amanda to uncover this mystery, how will he live in peace in the second half of his life?

Thinking of this, he said in a deep voice: "I'll go to Hong Kong with you." ”
