The first step is from Flatun in Sierra Leone to Monrovia in Liberia.
The second step is to find a way to get from Monrovia to Suakoko.
Deep in the rainforest of Suakoko, there is only one road with the outside world, one end leads to Monrovia, and the other end leads to Samoa in Guinea.
Liberia is one of the least developed countries in the world, and Suakoko is the poorest among the poor. The only road is almost impassable during the rainy season, and now, it is about to enter the rainy season, which means Gao Yi wants to leave Suakoko by land.
It's difficult.
Monrovia is in the hands of the Liberian government, but the stretch from Suakoko to Samoa, and even the land that occupies nearly half of Liberia, is all in the hands of Gray Horace.
By the way, there are 2,000 Liberian government troops, while Gray Horace has 3,000 troops.
The reason why Luka was worried about Gao Yi going to Suakoko alone and not afraid of Gao Yi running away alone was because their only mode of transportation was by small plane.
Luka personally sent Gao Yi there, and then personally picked Gao Yi back up after the incident was completed. Although safety could not be guaranteed 100%, this was the most suitable solution that the two of them could come up with at the moment.
How to contact us, how to determine the time to take action, how to determine the time to evacuate, all these will be discussed later.
The plan was just such a plan, and it could be said that it was full of loopholes, and it could be said that it looked at the beginning rather than the end, but since Gao Yi was willing to go ahead with it so recklessly, Luka naturally wouldn't stop him.
The only problem now is that the planned aircraft is really too broken.
Even a jetliner couldn't land in Suakoko. The plane Gao Yi and the others could choose was a small eight-seater propeller plane that was at least twenty years old.
The plane aimed at the runway, landed, kicked up dust all over the sky, and then Gao Yi jumped off the runway.
The plane did not need to turn around, it continued along the dirt runway, taxied a short distance before taking off again.
Luka flew away, and now only Gao Yi is left.
Gao Yi was a little confused.
If a dirt road can be considered a runway, then this place can also be considered an airport.
At the end of the runway is a small shed. Outside the small shed are several people, they are passengers waiting for the next flight.
What should I do next?
Looking for a car? Are there taxis here?
To Gao Yi's expectation, there were actually taxis here. When several black people saw Gao Yi, a black man wearing a T-shirt, shorts, and a hat on his head began to wave to him.
"Ready! Taxi, car!"
Gao Yi was in a daze for a moment because the black man who couldn't tell the difference between hot and cold was greeting him in Chinese.
This world is so wonderful, it can be called a fantasy.
Gao Yi walked over involuntarily, and the black man also came over. When he was in front of him, the black man said exaggeratedly: "Boss, do you want a car? Ten dollars, ten dollars to the city."
Although he has a slight accent, he speaks very smoothly.
In a daze again, Gao Yi stretched out a hand and said: "Five yuan!"
"Eight yuan! The passenger seat will be for you."
"Five dollars!"
The black man looked like he was thinking deeply, then he stretched out his hand and said: "Okay, friend, it's cheaper."
"Give me the money when it's time."
The driver showed an honest smile and said, "Okay."
The few people around didn't look like they were watching the fun, and no one had any strange attitude towards Gao Yi, an outsider, so Gao Yi couldn't help but ask: "Are there many Chinese people here?"
"There are many, there are many wood merchants. Boss, do you want to buy wood? I can take you there."
The driver didn't look very old or very tall, about 1.7 meters tall. He was very thin and looked a bit cunning, but he also felt very simple.
The feeling of cunning and simplicity appeared in the same person at the same time. For the first time, Gao Yi felt that his vision was not good.
"Where is the car? Let's go."
"No, no, I still have guests. I have to wait to pick up the guest. Wait a moment, his plane will arrive soon. Five dollars is not the price of a chartered car. Boss, five dollars is the price of the back seat."
"Okay, hmm? Back seat?"
The driver laughed and said: "Ten yuan for the passenger seat and six yuan for the back seat. I'll give you the cheaper price and charge you five yuan. It's a friend's price. My friend paid my friend's price."
The back seat is the back seat, just wait and wait.
Gao Yi stood nearby and waited for an hour.
"Hey, when are you leaving?"
"Soon, soon. The plane is delayed. Please wait a moment. What's your name, boss?"
"Forget your surname...Huang, you can even say this!"
The driver smiled very honestly at this moment. He stretched out two fingers and said: "A little bit, not much, a little bit. My name is Jitokarim, but you Chinese people like to call me Xiaohei. You call me Xiaohei."
,boss."
"Who did you learn Chinese from?"
"The boss, the boss who collects wood, the boss of the engineering team, the boss of the restaurant, all learned from the boss, the boss."
There were too many bosses, so it was a bit confusing, but Gao Yi heard the restaurant owner sensitively, so he immediately became excited.
Calm and unable to show any flaws, Gao Yi looked indifferent and said: "Oh, hotel owner, is there a Hua Xia Hotel here?"
"Yes, there is a boss in the city. I will take you to dinner and then stay there. There is also a boss like Black Pearl and girls."
Xiao Hei smiled sincerely. He made a sign of the cross with two fingers and said: "Ten dollars, boss, only ten dollars. You can go anywhere you want."
"There is no hotel."
"It's the Hua Xia Restaurant. It's delicious. It's expensive for us but very cheap for you, boss."
Here comes Suakoko, it’s normal to eat Chinese food for the first meal.
Gao Yi thought for a moment and said, "We'll see when the time comes. Find a place to stay first, but the price you ask is too high."
Be cautious, be cautious, don't rush to agree, everything that happens here may be known to the target, so don't rush,
Also, never act too rich or too generous.
The reason is very simple. Gao Yi wants to sneak into the restaurant. If he has money, why should he go to the hotel to be a waiter or chef.
You must show a spending power consistent with your income. You can be frugal, but you cannot be generous.
Gao Yi silently recited the tricks Luka taught him and waited patiently.
After waiting for two hours, Gao Yi couldn't help but burst out when the plane finally landed.
It was a small plane with about twenty seats, and about thirty people got off the plane.
Then, Xiao Hei didn't say hello, but the new people who got off the plane started to walk towards him.
Not everyone has money to take a car. Gao Yi counted and found that there were twenty-two people following Xiao Hei to the car.
Two of these people were wearing suits, and almost a third were women, most of whom were wearing skirts and carrying various things on their heads.
Gao Yi began to panic. He felt that he might have made a mistake.
When he saw the car, Gao Yi knew that he was really wrong.
It was a pickup truck. There was no suitable adjective for a pickup truck, it could only be described as extremely dilapidated.
Including myself, the driver, and this passenger, there are a total of twenty-four people?
Gao Yi began to feel terrified.
After paying the money, those people skillfully boarded the bed of the pickup truck. Some people sat on the roof. Then at least six people walked to the car, and a man in a suit went to open the passenger door.
Gao Yi rushed forward, opened the passenger door, and sat in.
The black man in a suit said something dissatisfied, and then began to coordinate with others, staggering forward and backward and adjusting his position before sitting in the back row.
Xiao Hei was not in a hurry to get in the car. He walked to Gao Yi's car, showed his big white teeth, and smiled at Gao Yi: "Ten dollars for the co-pilot."
Gao Yi obediently took out ten dollars. This time he did not bargain.
He should have been hacked, but let's just be hacked. Gao Yi accepted it and endured it.
The smell in the car was not pleasant to begin with, but now a puzzling and painful smell quickly filled the air.
The car started with difficulty, along a relatively smooth road.
There are houses on the roadside from time to time. The types cannot be counted. They range from wooden houses to sheds built with plastic sheets, and huts made of mud and branches. In short, there are all kinds of strange-shaped houses.
Gao Yi felt that the car had only driven about five kilometers, and by this time he could already see some relatively normal houses.
Now that we have streets and pedestrians, we have entered the urban area.
Gao Yi really regretted it. If he had known it was so close, he would have actually walked over.
Xiao Hei parked the car at an intersection. The road was very wide and there were not many people.
The people in the car jumped out one after another, and the people in the back seat also started to get out, and then they began to slowly disperse, and soon Gao Yi himself was the only one left in the car.
"Boss, are you going to eat or stay in a hotel?"
Xiao Hei returned to the car, showing his big white teeth and smiling brightly.
Gao Yi thought for a while and said: "First... let's eat."
I have no choice but to go see what the hotel is like.
Xiao Hei started the car and it went much faster this time.
Gao Yi kept looking both ways. His vocabulary was not very large, so the only adjective he could think of was one word, broken.
This is too broken!
There are actually traces of asphalt roads on the street, but traces of asphalt roads will only lead to bigger bumps, big potholes within small potholes, and it's really not as easy to walk on as a dirt road.
Soon, Xiao Hei's car stopped at a place that Gao Yi didn't know how to describe.
There were several clay stoves that should be stoves, which were smoked black and had an iron roof supported by a few pillars. Under the shed were five tables. At one end of the shed was a small room, and an old black man sat at the door.
Gao Yi had an ominous premonition and looked at Xiao Hei nervously.
Xiao Hei showed his big white teeth and said with a smile: "Boss, we're here, Huaxia City Hotel."
Xiao Hei also reached out and pointed. Gao Yi looked in the direction of the finger and found that there was really a sign hanging on the edge of the shed. There was really a crooked line on the sign, Hua Xia Hotel.
