Chapter Nineteenth Los Angeles - Africa

  ument.write(

  As soon as we walked out of the airport, a suit-and-tie American man led us into a black sedan. The car sped through the city streets, and for my first time in America, I was really excited! With a bright smile on my face, I gazed out the window at this world-famous city. It wasn't until much later that I thought about my current situation and couldn't help but chuckle to myself - everything from my youth is just such a wonderful memory. But after looking for a while, it's nothing special, just that the architectural style of the streets is different from back home, all the billboards are in English, and everyone on the street is a foreigner.

  The black bear and the vegetable knife chatted with our man for a few words, unfortunately I didn't understand a single sentence. The man handed a box to the black bear, after opening it, surprisingly there were two handguns and several clips inside. The black bear threw one of them and several clips to the vegetable knife, and himself tucked another one into his waist.

  "How about giving me one?"

  "Be careful you don't get burned!" The chef gave me a white-eyed stare and holstered his pistol at the back of his waist, while Hei Xiong burst out laughing at my discontented face.

  More than 20 minutes later, the sedan drove into the parking lot of a high-rise building. This was a high-end office building, and after parking the car, I followed the two people to take the elevator to a company, walking straight to the door of an office. The blonde beauty at the door nodded to us and opened the door of the office, leading us in.

  A white man in his 50s sat in the office, reviewing documents in his hand. When he saw us, he immediately stood up from his seat and hugged Hei Xiong and Cai Dao, saying: "Welcome home!"

  I understand this sentence!

  Finally understood a sentence after coming to the United States, but I didn't understand any of the following words. However, judging from the eyes and gestures of several people, they should be talking about me.

  A white man stretched out his hand and shook hands with me, the chef turned around and said to me: "This is the trading company of Wolf Mercenary Corps in Los Angeles, USA. Your domestic identity is hidden here, he is your boss, Mr. Mar. Tols."

  "Hello." I said in English.

  "It's great to see you!" Tolst also smiled and nodded: "Your hidden identity at home will be safe in our company, although it can't fool those who are determined to find out, but it can give you a legitimate status in the United States, allowing you to come and go freely. Moreover, all your communications with home will be sent via satellite from here, and when you make phone calls to your family, you can say they're coming from our office, and we'll forward them to your satellite phone."

  The knife was translated, and I nodded: "Thank you."

  The black bear patted my shoulder and said: "Alright, let's go to the hotel to rest first. We'll set off for the base at 12 o'clock tonight."

  "Midnight?" I was startled.

  "Right." The chef nodded and said: "This is your first lesson, act at any time!"

  "Can I make a phone call to let my family know I'm safe now?"

  "Of course."

  At midnight, the black bear woke me up from my sleep, washed my face, put on my jacket, and in a daze, carried my luggage with two people to the hotel's rooftop by elevator. A black helicopter was already running and waiting for us. It was my first time seeing a helicopter, I was so excited that I didn't wait for the two men to speak before climbing aboard, curiously looking around inside the cabin. The cabin wasn't big, only with two rows of seats. Black bear and vegetable knife also boarded the helicopter, one sat in the co-pilot's position, and the other sat beside me. As soon as the hatch was closed, I made an OK gesture to the pilot, and the helicopter slowly took off from the hotel rooftop.

  The helicopter flying in the air wasn't as comfortable as I imagined, the huge noise and vibration made my head a bit dizzy, but the beautiful night view of Los Angeles outside the window made me appreciate its unique charm!

  The helicopter was flying through the dark night, Los Angeles had been left far behind, and outside the window was an endless darkness. Occasionally there were a few bright lights, but nothing could be seen except for the lights. I was really afraid that the helicopter would accidentally crash into a mountain top or a high-rise building, which would truly be a place where one would die without a burial!

  When the first rays of dawn shone on this unfamiliar land, the helicopter had already flown to a small town surrounded by mountains and slowly landed outside the town.

  Two people shook me awake from my slumber, carrying luggage through the quiet town to the other end. A small silver-white propeller plane was parked there, with a young man sitting on the wing drinking wine.

  Young people saw us coming, put the wine bottle in their pocket, jumped off the wing and shook hands with two people to talk for a few words. Anyway, I didn't understand anything, so I was interested in looking at the beautiful scenery all around and the small plane in front of me.

  Before long, the three of them finished their conversation and shook hands again. Then they took me aboard this small plane. The black bear got into the cockpit, while the cleaver spread out two blankets in the cabin and invited me to lie down comfortably. The young man pulled away the tripod that had been covering the landing gear's tires and made a hand gesture towards the black bear.

  The black bear nodded and started the plane, which slowly taxied across the grassy field, picking up speed. After about 100 to 200 meters of taxiing, the black bear pulled back on the control yoke, and the plane roared forward into the dawn light, heading for the blue sky.

  The chef suddenly remembered something, took out a box of food and drinks from a wooden frame behind him, threw one to the black bear who was flying the plane, and beckoned me. I was indeed hungry, so I joined the chef in devouring the food without hesitation. Unfortunately, the box only had sandwiches, hot dogs and the like; it would have been great if there were some buns, fried dough sticks, soy milk and the like!

  After eating, I leaned against the window and admired the beautiful scenery that I had never seen before. The plane flew back and forth through the mountains, whizzing past one peak after another. After crossing a few more peaks, suddenly appearing in front of my eyes was an endless expanse of ocean, with several fishing boats floating on it to catch fish. The sudden change in visual scenery left me stunned, and the beauty of nature made me involuntarily sigh: Too beautiful!

  I turned my head to look at the black bear who was driving the plane, feeling really cool! My palms were also a bit itchy, so I ran over and laughed and said to the black bear: "Brother, teach me, let me drive for a while!"

  The black bear looked me up and down, said suspiciously: "You? Forget it, I don't want to die!" The second time being deeply shocked, I had no choice but to return to the cockpit, kicked a foot at the sleeping cleaver, venting my discontent.

  The plane had been flying over the vast ocean for more than an hour before landing on a small island. As soon as I got off the plane, without even having time to stretch my numb legs, a thin black man suddenly jumped out from a pile of rocks. I looked at this desolate little island and the thin black man with some doubt, asking: "Is this really the legendary Africa?"

  "Of course not!" The black bear shook his head: "This is just a transfer station for us to go to Africa, the road is still long."

  "Oh..." I finally breathed a sigh of relief. I knew it, I said so, although I've never been to Africa, but I also know that the legendary Africa can't be like this.

  The thin black man nodded at us and led us to climb up a pile of rubble. Only after we got up did I realize that there was a large recess in the middle of the rubble, connected to the sea, forming a natural small harbor. A speedboat was moored inside, tied firmly to a cylindrical stone block. Hei Xiong and Cai Dao jumped aboard first. What I had seen and heard over the past few days had already numbed me, so I didn't say anything or ask any questions, but simply carried my luggage and followed them aboard.

  The chef said thank you to the black man and started the engine. The speedboat cut through the sea surface like an arrow, rushing towards the depths of the ocean. The black bear opened his laptop, on which a map of the sea area appeared, with a small red dot flashing constantly and a white line, which seemed to be our current location and route, the endpoint of the white line was probably our destination.

  The speedboat has been cruising on the sea for two or three hours, stopping in between to refuel. All I see is the endless ocean, and my butt hurts from sitting for so long. Everyone knows that staring at the same view for a long time and having nothing to do can drive you crazy! But the two of them took turns driving the speedboat, and when they weren't driving, they just closed their eyes and meditated without coming to chat with me to alleviate my boredom. Now I'm getting really annoyed, my mind is racing with all sorts of thoughts, and I feel like I'm about to go mad.

  I was feeling extremely stifled and was considering whether to let out a loud roar to vent my emotions, when suddenly a small white dot appeared in front of me. At the same time, the small red dot on Hei Xiong's computer had merged with the end of the white line.

  We have arrived at our destination!
