Chapter 18 It’s all here
The first step is to travel from Flatun, Sierra Leone to Monrovia, Liberia.

The second step was to find a way to get from Monrovia to Suakoko.

Suakoko is deep in the rainforest, with only one road connecting it to the outside world, one end leading to Monrovia and the other end leading to Samoai in Guinea.

Liberia is one of the least developed countries in the world, and Suakoko is the poorest of the poor. The only road is almost impassable during the rainy season. Now, the rainy season is about to begin, which means it will be difficult for Gao Yi to leave Suakoko by land.

Monrovia was controlled by the Liberian government, but the road from Suakoko to Samoë, which accounted for nearly half of Liberia's territory, was all controlled by Gray Horace.

By the way, the Liberian government army has a total of 2,000 people, while Grey Horace has 3,000 troops.

The reason why Luca was confident that Gao Yi would go to Suakoko alone and was not afraid that Gao Yi would run away alone was because their only means of transportation was a small plane.

Luca personally sent Gao Yi there, and then went to pick Gao Yi up after the matter was done. Although his safety could not be guaranteed 100%, this was the most appropriate solution the two could come up with at the moment.

How to communicate, how to determine the time of action, how to determine the time of evacuation, all these will be discussed when the time comes.

This is just a plan. It can be said that it is full of loopholes and it can be said that it only takes the beginning and not the end in mind. But since Gao Yi is willing to rush forward like this, Luca naturally won't stop him.

The only problem now is that the planned plane is really too broken.

If a jet airliner really couldn't land at Suakoko, the only plane Gao Yi and his team could choose was a small eight-seat propeller plane that was at least twenty years old.

The plane aimed at the runway, landed, raising a cloud of dust, and then Gao Yi jumped off the runway.

The plane did not need to turn around and continued to move forward along the dirt runway, taxiing a short distance before taking off again.

Luca flew away, and now Gao Yi was left alone.

Gao Yi was a little confused.

If a dirt road can be considered a runway, then this can also be considered an airport.

At the end of the runway is a small shed, outside of which are several people, they are passengers waiting for the next flight.

What to do next?

Looking for a taxi? Are there any taxis in this area?
To Gao Yi's surprise, there were actually taxis in this place. When several black men saw Gao Yi, a black man wearing a T-shirt and shorts but a knitted hat on his head began to wave at him.

"Ready! Taxi, car!"

Gao Yi was a little dazed 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 fantasy.

Gao Yi walked over involuntarily, and the black man also came over. When he got 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 an accent, he speaks very fluently.

In a trance again, Gao Yi stretched out a hand and said, "Five dollars!"

"Eight bucks! The passenger seat is yours."

"Five dollars!"

The black man looked thoughtful, then he held out his hand and said, "Okay, friend, cheaper."

"Give me the money when you get there."

The driver smiled honestly and said, "Okay."

The people around him didn't seem to be 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 timber merchants. Boss, do you want to buy some wood? I can take you there."

The driver didn't look very old or very tall, about 1.7 meters tall, very thin, and looked a little cunning, but also seemed very simple and honest.

The feeling of being both cunning and simple actually appeared in one person at the same time. For the first time, Gao Yi felt that his vision was not working well.

"Where's the car? Let's go."

"No, no, I have another guest. I have to wait to pick him up. Wait a moment. His plane will arrive soon. Five dollars is not the price for the car, boss. Five dollars is the price for the back seat."

"Okay, huh? Back seat?"

The driver laughed and said, "The front passenger seat is ten dollars, and the back seat is six dollars. I'll give you a bargain and charge you five dollars, which is the friend price. The friend price is for my friends."

It’s just the back seat, and it’s just waiting.

Gao Yi just stood nearby and waited for an hour.

"Hey, when are you leaving?"

"Very soon, very soon, the plane is delayed, please wait a moment, what's your name, boss?"

"What's your last name? Huang, you can even say that!"

The driver smiled very honestly at this moment. He stretched out two fingers and said, "A little bit, not much, just a little bit. My name is Ji Tokarim, but you Chinese people like to call me Xiao Hei. You call me Xiao Hei, boss."

"Who did you learn Chinese from?"

"Boss, the boss of the wood collector, the boss of the construction team, the boss of the restaurant, they all learned it from the boss, boss."

There were too many bosses and everything they said was a bit confusing, but Gao Yi was sensitive enough to hear the restaurant owner, so he immediately became excited.

Gao Yi remained calm and did not want to reveal any flaws. He said indifferently, "Oh, hotel owner, is there a Huaxia Hotel here?"

"Yes, it's in the city, boss. I'll take you to dinner and then to a place to stay. There are also black pearls and girls. Boss." Xiao Hei smiled sincerely. He made a cross with his two fingers and said, "Ten dollars, boss. Only ten dollars. You can go anywhere you want."

"There's no restaurant."

"It's the Huaxia Restaurant. The food is delicious. It's expensive for us, but very cheap for you, the owner."

Now that we're in Suakoko, it's normal to have Chinese food for the first meal.

Gao Yi thought for a moment and said, "We'll see when the time comes. Let's find a place to stay first. It's just that your price is too high."

Be careful, be careful, don't rush to agree, everything that happens here may be known by the target, so don't rush,
Also, you must never appear too rich or too generous.

The reason is very simple. Gao Yi wants to get into the restaurant. If he has money, why should he be a waiter or chef in the restaurant?

You must demonstrate spending power that is consistent with your income. You can be frugal, but not generous.

Gao Yi silently recited the tricks Luca taught him and waited patiently on the side.

After waiting for two hours, when Gao Yi could no longer hold back and was about to explode, a plane finally landed.

A small plane with about 20 seats, and about 30 people got off the plane.

Then, Xiao Hei didn't say hello, but the people who had just got off the plane started walking towards him.

Not everyone has money to take a bus. Gao Yi counted and found that there were twenty-two people following Xiao Hei to the car.

Among these people, there were two men wearing suits, and about one-third were women, most of whom were wearing skirts and had 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 he was really wrong.

It was a pickup truck, a pickup truck that, for lack of a suitable adjective, 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 climbed into the bed of the pickup truck. Someone sat on the roof, and then at least six people walked towards the car, while a man in a suit was about to open the passenger door.

Gao Yi rushed forward, opened the passenger door, and sat down.

The black man in the suit said a few words in dissatisfaction, then began to coordinate with others, adjusting their positions by staggering the front and back, and then sat in the back row.

Xiao Hei didn't rush to get in the car. He walked to Gao Yi's car, showing his big white teeth, and smiled at Gao Yi: "Co-pilot, ten dollars."

Gao Yi obediently took out ten dollars and this time he did not bargain.

He must have been hacked, but it was hacked anyway. Gao Yi accepted it and endured it.

The smell in the car was already unpleasant, and now it was quickly filled with a puzzling and painful smell.

The car started with difficulty along a relatively flat road.

There are houses on the roadside from time to time, and the types are impossible to count, from wooden houses to sheds made of plastic sheets, and huts made of mud and branches. In short, there are houses of all kinds of shapes.

Gao Yi felt that they had driven about five kilometers when they could see some relatively normal houses.

With 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 walked over.

Xiao Hei parked the car at an intersection. The road was 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 off. Then they began to slowly disperse, and soon Gao Yi was the only one left in the car.

"Boss, do you want to go out for dinner or stay in a hotel?"

Xiao Hei got back into the car, showing his big white teeth and smiling brightly.

Gao Yi thought for a moment and said, "Let's eat first."

There is no choice but to go and see what the hotel is like.

Xiao Hei started the car and this time the speed was much faster.

Gao Yi kept looking to both sides. His vocabulary was not very large, so the only adjective he could think of was one word: broken.

This is too broken!
There are traces of asphalt roads on the street, but the presence of asphalt roads will only lead to greater bumps, with big potholes on top of small ones, it is really not as easy to drive 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, blackened by smoke, and a tin roof supported by several pillars. There were five tables under the shed. At one end of the shed was a small room, and an old black man was sitting at the door.

Gao Yi had a bad feeling and looked at Xiao Hei nervously.

Xiao Hei showed his big white teeth and said with a smile: "Boss, we are here, Huaxiacheng Hotel."

Xiao Hei pointed with his finger, and Gao Yi looked in the direction of his finger and found that there was indeed a sign hanging on the edge of the shed, with a line of crooked words on it: Hua Xia Hotel.

Gao Yi endured it again and again, and finally couldn't bear it anymore and whispered: "Oh my god!"
