Take a plane to Africa

Chapter 289 Acceptance of Inspection

Compared with the turbulent Congo River, the flow rate of the Eyre River is much gentler. The length of the Eyre River is not long, only about seven to eight hundred kilometers. It originates in the plateau area of ​​East Africa.

The sailing speed of the cruise ship is also stable, always maintained at about 20 knots per hour. After two hours of sailing, the surrounding desert hills disappeared, replaced by dense forests on both sides.

Claire pushed the eyes on the bridge of the nose, and then said loudly to the back of the boat, "Guys, the world's shortest race of people lives in the jungle here - Pygmies, don't look at these guys' small size, But they are extremely tough and brave, and now we hang green budos on the boat, these Pygmies will not directly attack us with poisoned bows and arrows when they see them."

When Alexander the Bear heard this, he couldn't help but wonder, "Mr. Claire, our cruise ship is very quiet, and both banks are covered with lush forests. Could it be that the Pygmies still have a good ear?"

Claire smiled slightly, then nodded, "Dude, you are really right. Let me tell you the truth, pygmies are very sensitive in hearing, sight and smell, and they are good hunters. If a bee is 10 meters away from them Meters away, they can tell exactly what type of bee it is, and whether it's male or female."

Everyone was amazed to hear that these pygmies have such a good sense of hearing.

Claire continued, "But don't worry, as long as we hang green cloth strips on the boat, these Pygmies won't attack us?"

"It seems that this Pygmy also understands international law." Albuquer laughed at himself.

"Haha..." This guy Albuquer's words caused everyone to burst into laughter.

The scenery on both sides of the Aire River is really good. From time to time, you can see many birds soaring in the air. These tropical birds are all long-haired and beautiful, and a fish jumps out of the calm river from time to time.

Taking this opportunity, the knowledgeable Claire also began to popularize the knowledge here for everyone.

"Sir, why are there no crocodiles here?"

"In fact, there used to be crocodiles here, but due to human hunting, most of the crocodiles here ran to the swamp in the lower reaches of Lake Albert, where it is simply a paradise for crocodiles."

"It means that there are one or two occasionally?"

Claire thought for a while, then nodded, "It can be understood in this way, but the number is really not much."

"What about the gorillas? I heard from a former guy that the gorillas on both sides of the Congo River are very different in shape and personality, but according to the DNA test, they are indeed from the same family. What's going on?"

"This is still related to the environment in which they live. There are many gorillas on the south coast, and the natural resources are not so rich, so the gorillas on the south coast are fierce and aggressive. This is the so-called 'natural selection, survival of the fittest'; and The North Shore is just the opposite, the population of gorillas living there is small, and the natural conditions are superior, so after millions of years of evolution, the gorillas here are much milder."

With Claire, who knows everything about Africa, these Russian mercenaries began to be happy. They kept asking various questions, and Claire always answered them impatiently.

"Duddu..." When everyone was chatting happily, a whistle sounded from the front. Yang Tianlong and the others looked forward. It turned out that dozens of soldiers with AKs and rocket launchers were standing in Uganda. side of the border.

"Don't worry, this is the security checkpoint in Uganda, and these guys won't make it difficult for us. After speaking, Claire motioned for the cruise ship to dock.

"Hey, guys, hello." Claire strode ashore.

"Who are you?" The black leader looked at Claire and couldn't help asking.

"We are the scientific expedition team of the United Nations, have you seen the flags on the cruise ships?" Claire pointed to the flags flying high on the two cruise ships.

"Please show your ID." The black man seemed polite.

Claire nodded, and then took out the ID on her body.

The black man looked at it and said, "Are you a botanist?"

"Yes, we will conduct scientific research on the environment, flora and fauna of the Eyre River Basin."

"Okay, please be careful." The black man simply flipped through the papers and handed the documents to Claire.

Soon, the two cruise ships continued to move forward.

"Be careful later, ten kilometers ahead is the border between Congo and South Sudan, where there will be South Sudanese militia."

"Sir, are those guys more difficult to deal with?" Yang Tianlong couldn't help asking.

Claire nodded, "That's right, it's a civil war zone now, and those guys are as wild as the gorillas on the south bank, but they won't kill people to get their goods, at most they just want to take a little bit of money, but I don't mind this tip." It will not be given to them as a last resort.”

After saying this, Claire took out two hundred-dollar bills from her bag.

"Here, the US dollar is far more reliable than the South Sudanese pound." Claire said seriously.

Claire is right. For the war-torn country, it is not easy to maintain a strong currency exchange rate. Maybe today's 1000 yuan will be worth only 1 yuan tomorrow.

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

Sure enough, after the boat sailed for more than 20 minutes, dozens of soldiers in camouflage and berets appeared on the left side of the Eyre River. These guys looked very thin and malnourished.

They used semaphore to signal the cruise ship to pull over.

"Guys, let's pull over the cruise ship." Claire waved his hand.

Soon, all these dozens of soldiers jumped up.

"Hey, what do you guys do?" the leader asked with a cigar in his mouth.

"We are a scientific expedition team of the United Nations, specializing in scientific research on the environment of the Eyre River Basin and the animals and plants on both sides of the river. I am Claire, a zoologist and botanist from the United States. This is my business card." The business card and ID were handed over.

The guy took the business card and ID and looked at it. He didn't say anything, but his eyes kept sweeping back and forth on the two cruise ships.

His men had already entered the various cabins to search.

Soon, the soldiers also walked out of the cabin, "Mr. Major, I didn't find too many guns, except for two shotguns."

"Ahem, sir, shotguns are not allowed here. According to regulations, we will be fined $100." The guy said loudly.

"Then how should we protect ourselves?" Claire was puzzled.

"You don't need to get off the boat, there are not many crocodiles here," said the guy.

"God, man, can't we stay on the boat if we don't disembark?"

"Then you still want to come down to investigate?" The guy couldn't help asking.

"Since it is an investigation, we will definitely come down." Claire said loudly.

"But your shotguns are dangerous items. According to regulations, you will be fined. 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 that you have a suspicious place here?" The guy said with a grim face, "I don't think you are an investigation, you seem to be hired to help our enemies fight guerrillas. soldier, right?"

　Thank you brother "Love without Regrets" for the reward, thank you for your support, I wish you smooth work, good health and all the best
