Take Arada back to the past

Chapter 702, Arrival at Destination
Yang Xiaole and his group rested on the grassland for a night.

Fortunately, there are mosquito coils made by Da Piaoliang in the space. After all, there are a lot of mosquitoes in the Monkey Kingdom, and mosquito coils are one of the necessities.

Fortunately, not all of them were lost at that time.

I lit mosquito coils in the car, which kept it quiet for the whole night and also covered up the bad smell on my body.

There’s nothing we can do, we’re all grown men.

If you don't take a shower in the summer and take off your shoes, the smell is so bad that it can't be described as eye-catching.

I took advantage of the time in the evening to take a short stroll and find out the route to avoid taking the wrong route.

The next morning, everyone drove along the exploration route.

When a novice is learning to drive, there will naturally be many problems. Fortunately, they don’t delay things too much and the progress is still quite fast.

Deliberately avoid areas with large armed forces and residential gatherings.

At this time on the African savannah, everyone saw various animals that they had never seen before.

"what is that?"

“That’s a giraffe.”

"I have never seen anything like that."

"That looks like a dog, or a wolf? It looks like neither!"

……

Zhang Xuesong was from Beijing, so he had naturally been to the zoo. He was very excited when he saw these things.

"Old Black, Old Black, is that an elephant? I didn't expect there to be so many!"

When Zhang Xuesong saw the elephant, he happily shouted to Yang Xiaole.

After hearing this, Yang Xiaole’s head went dark.

When choosing a replacement name, these guys spoke with one voice and gave him the code name Lao Hei.

Whether he agrees or not, it won't work.

Seeing Yang Xiaole's look, Zhang Xuesong shrank his neck and smiled: "Didn't we agree on this in the camp?"

Yang Xiaole gave him an unpleasant look and wanted this guy to follow the car.

……

They still have missions to complete, so even if they come across a lot of prey, they just look at them out of curiosity.

He had surveyed the routes in advance and tried his best to avoid crowded places.

At noon, we saw a group of antelopes by a stream.

"parking!"

Yang Xiaole secretly checked the time and said, "Take a break and replenish some water. I'll go over there and see if I can get a sheep over here."

It's not a good idea to always eat biscuits and dry food.

The main reason is that there is no shortage of these animals on the prairie, so we have to enjoy them.

For this reason, he secretly put some spices in the supplies, just in case this situation might occur.

Everyone agreed after hearing this.

Watching Yang Xiaole bending over and going to the place where the group of antelopes were drinking water.

Animals are very alert.

But Yang Xiaole was careful enough and quickly approached the other party to about a hundred meters.

He picked up the rifle in his hand, aimed at one of the fatter antelopes, and shot it directly at the class.

"Snapped!"

As the sound was heard, the antelope fell down, and the other antelopes naturally ran around at a high speed.

After a while, he disappeared.

"come on!"

Yang Xiaole waved over there.

The group drove the car to the stream.

"Zhao Gang, take care of this. Everyone else should light a fire and cook. Except for the people on guard, everyone else should go take a shower."

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole was making arrangements.

"what!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Gang smiled proudly and took Li Jianguo to deal with the antelope.

The rest of the people have their own arrangements.

Yang Xiaole made sure that there was no danger within a radius of 500 meters, then he went to the stream to fetch water and wash himself.

As for drinking water, of course I got clean water and boiled it in a kettle before drinking.

Those who wanted to drink directly were stopped by Yang Xiaole.

As for the iron pot and kettle, they were naturally brought from Liu Yongjian's base, because he was worried that he might not meet anyone on the road for a long time.

A dozen people were working there in an orderly manner.

There is no shortage of things to burn on the prairie.

After a busy period, Zhao Gang had already prepared the antelope and called out to him, "Xiao Le, do you want to boil or roast it?"

Yang Xiaole had already washed and changed into clean clothes.

He looked at his hands, which were covered in blood, thought for a moment and said, "Let's roast them and eat them!"

Although it takes a little time.

Hang the washed clothes on a nearby tree to dry. They will dry quickly in such a hot day.

Zhao Gang agreed and went to find suitable wood nearby to build the scaffolding.

Under the guidance of Yang Xiaole, it was completed quickly.

Roast the cleaned lamb directly on the fire.

There are small packets of salt in the soldier's rations, but there is not enough salt to pickle the meat, so the meat can only be dipped in salt when being cut.

The fire was burning high, roasting the lamb until it was sizzling with oil.

Yang Xiaole was smoking a mint-flavored cigarette from his soldier's rations.

“Add some water!”

Zhao Gang came over with the freshly boiled water and said something to him.

Yang Xiaole hummed, took out a canteen, filled it with boiling water, and threw it aside.

While the lamb was roasting, others also began to practice driving in batches.

Practicing driving during the day is much more effective than at night.

Although there are many failures, at least there is a chance.

As for the occasional malfunctions, Yang Xiaole didn't care. As long as he didn't hit a big tree or rush into a stream and get stuck, it would be fine.

As long as the car can continue to drive, it's fine.

The grill was slow.

It took more than three hours to bake everything.

At the end, sprinkle some cumin to add flavor and start eating.

Zhang Xuesong smelled the aroma and smiled, "Mm, it smells good! It reminds me of barbecue during barbecue season."

Sprinkle cumin on it and the taste will naturally be different.

Yang Xiaole smiled when he heard this.

It’s not that there is no barbecue in Sijiu City. There are several of them. It’s just that the way they grill meat is not direct grilling.

Instead, a variety of spices and some vegetables with unique aromas are marinated together and then grilled.

For example, coriander, onions, celery, etc.

The taste is ok.

There is basically no such thing as grilling directly on charcoal fire.

Yang Xiaole looked at everyone drooling and said with a smile: "Alright, hurry up and eat in batches. After eating, we have to hurry on our way."

Eating is part of it, after all, you can make do with dry food.

The main thing is to give these people time to practice driving.

It would be very convenient to have a car when going out. He has no shortage of cars, but it would be embarrassing if no one can drive when he needs one.

Upon hearing this, everyone smiled and used their bayonets to cut the meat and eat it.

They are all people who have experienced the three difficult years. Even those who don’t like mutton can bear to eat a little.

If you are not used to it, eat dry food.

After the meal, everyone started to clean up and drove to a suitable place to cross the stream and continue on their journey.

Thanks to Yang Xiaole's advance investigation, there were no accidents along the way.

He can even find a bridge to cross a river.

Along the way, everyone took turns driving.

On the afternoon of the third day, Yang Xiaole and his team crossed the border again and arrived in Congo.

Yang Xiaole drove the car and stopped in an open place.

Now they have entered the Great Rift Valley Mountains. After crossing this area, they will enter the mountains and then encounter a very large area of ​​tropical rainforest.

The Congo rainforest is the second largest tropical rainforest in the world, covering millions of square kilometers. The tropical rainforest is a great test of driving skills and car performance. It is not impossible to drive, but it is very difficult.

"Xiao Le, where are we now? Is this the right road?"

Looking at the mountains everywhere around him, Zhang Xuesong frowned and asked.

Yang Xiaole shook his head: "I'm not sure exactly where we are, but the general direction should be correct. I'll go to the nearby towns and take a look."

The location must be correct, otherwise his advance reconnaissance would have been in vain.

It’s just that the area they had passed through before was the border of several countries.

Don't be so sure.

Then he said, "Let's follow the established route first. If there are no mistakes, there is a small town 50 kilometers ahead. The contact person will be waiting for us there. If the place is not right, we will ask around."

There are two contact persons on the Congo side, one of which is in a small town near the border.

One is near the capital.

The people here were naturally sent from the capital.

Then drive.

Two hours later, several cars slowly approached the town.

This is a densely populated area.

Before, I rarely met anyone because I had to avoid people. But as the car drove on, I gradually saw a lot of black people.

Those people were wearing local clothes and looked at them with the same curiosity.

First reaction: These people are foreigners.

When the car entered the town, Yang Xiaole asked people to stop.

"Wait for me here. I'll go in and take a look. You should be careful and don't get into conflict with the people here unless necessary. Of course, if there is any danger, you can shoot freely."

When he was out, he needed to exercise restraint, but he would not put his brothers in danger.

The location here is also good, you can attack or defend.

"Gangzi, you maintain discipline here."

This time, Zhao Gang didn't laugh, but nodded seriously and agreed.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole took his pistol and walked towards the town.

Find a safe place and enter the space.

At first, there were only wooden houses. Only in the town did many stone buildings begin to appear, and they were all connected together.

Do a quick search inside.

Finally, the target was found at a stall.

There's no way, it's too easy to find.

They are all black, except for this one tanned yellow guy.

There is no one else except him.

The other person was sitting next to the stall, obviously helping to sell things, but his eyes were looking around from time to time.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole found a place to quietly come out and walked towards the other party.

Naturally, the other party noticed his appearance at a glance.

It also attracted the attention of other people, after all, there were very few people of other skin colors here.

"Are you from the East?"

The other party saw him coming and spoke directly.

The language used is still Chinese.

Yang Xiaole looked around and said with a smile: "Well, you are from the East too, right? I came here to stay with my relatives. I can't find the way."

Everyone here is black, and it is a remote area 2,000 kilometers away from the capital.

There are basically no people who understand Chinese.

But to be on the safe side, he still used ordinary conversation, but with secret codes.

The other party was immediately happy when he saw this.

That kind of happiness comes from the heart, or at least it seems to come from the heart.

It’s like finding my relatives.

Then he said something happily to a half-naked black man next to him. The black man looked at Yang Xiaole and said nothing.

The man came over when he saw this and said with a smile, "Let's go! Let's talk over there."

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole followed.

Walk towards the suburbs.

As they walked, the two of them silently completed the communication of secret codes.

Yang Xiaole was also sure that he had found the person.

After making sure that there was no one nearby, the other party smiled and said, "Comrade, I am Wang Yu. I received an order to come here to pick you up half a month ago. I didn't expect you to come so quickly! Where are the others?"

With a smile on his face.

Yang Xiaole shook hands with the other party and said with a smile: "My name is Yang Hao, I am the leader of this team. The others are outside and didn't come in. What were you doing just now?"

"Oh, I came here. They said some relatives were coming over. I had nothing to do, so I helped the people here to look after the store!"

After Wang Yu finished speaking, he smiled and said, "This is just an ordinary town, don't worry too much, your mission is over there."

Yang Xiaole hummed and then asked, "Then how do we get there? It's so far!"

There are no trains here.

Wang Yu saw the effect and said, "I will arrange this when the time comes. Let the people here take us to a nearby city, and then find a car from there to go to Kisangani, and from there take a boat along the Congo River to Kinshasa. This journey is a bit far."

Yang Xiaole thought for a moment and said, "We have a car, can we get on the boat?"

"You have a car?"

Wang Yu was surprised.

"Well, we were stopped by an armed sentry on the way. I took over the place. There were cars and supplies inside, so we drove here. I didn't hurt those people."

Yang Xiaole explained briefly.

I will have to write a report about all these when I go back.

And Zhao Gang and the others all knew about it, so there was no need to hide it.

As for not killing anyone, there is a reason for that.

You can't kill casually.

Wang Yu smiled and said, "It's good to have a car. This way we don't have to bother. We can go to the city to refill the gas and then drive over."

After the matter was settled, Yang Xiaole went to where the other party's car was parked.

When everyone saw Yang Xiaole bringing people over, their eyes lit up.

Wow, I didn’t go off the track!

"This is Comrade Wang Yu."

After coming over, Yang Xiaole gave people a brief introduction.

Wang Yu looked at everyone and greeted them with a smile.

There was no wasting time and we got in the car and set off.

Gasoline is scarce here, so naturally there is no need to refill gasoline here.

Following Wang Yu's instructions, the car drove for more than two hours and entered a city.

After refueling, we set off again.

It would be very convenient to have someone to lead you, and you can walk on the main road.

This is the eastern part of Congo, a vast area with a sparse population. It is also the border between tropical rainforest and mountainous areas, and the roads are very limited.

Fortunately, there were no accidents on the road.

Except for eating some dry food in the middle, the rest of the time was spent on the journey.

Fortunately, the car did not encounter any major problems on the road, and did not encounter any armed forces blocking the road.

After driving for more than thirty hours, they finally arrived at the city the other party mentioned.

Here, Wang Yu sold all three cars.

Because most of the boats here are wooden, they really can't accommodate them.

Wang Yu was the one who communicated throughout the whole process.

Yang Xiaole couldn't understand either, mainly because the language spoken here was not English.

But French.

1600 kilometers.

It took three days for everyone to reach a dock.

The dock here is not very well planned, and there are wooden boats sailing on the river everywhere.

This reminded him of the river on Asan's side.

Many black people were busy unloading goods there. The most common products were various types of wood, and the passenger wooden boats were densely packed with black people.

Wang Yu and his men got off the boat from a small pier.

At this point, everyone finally arrived at their destination.
