Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 777: Giant Ape and Giant Diamond

The next morning, Chu Xiangqian returned to the private dock in Cape Town. Since the Albatross seaplane had been delivered yesterday, he wanted to take the plane away. Not only did no one stop him, but someone was also considerate enough to prepare enough fuel for him.

Chu Xiangqian couldn't help but laugh in his heart when he saw that no one at the dock cared about his boss's whereabouts.

As for those who help prepare the fuel, they naturally want to make a profit from the difference.

Chu Xiangqian not only bought all the fuel, but also specially paid for the order of a full ton of aviation fuel.

Seeing that there is money to be made, the people at the dock are naturally very enthusiastic.

Not only did it take only a dozen minutes to prepare one ton of fuel, but it was also loaded onto the seaplane according to Chu Xiangqian's instructions.

When Chu Xiangqian gave the money, he also gave 100 US dollars as a tip, which made the person in charge so happy that his mouth was crooked with smile.

The memory of Chu Xiangqian was still fresh in her mind, but she didn't know that Chu Xiangqian was not only wearing makeup at this time, but also had intentionally or unintentionally said during the chat just now that she was born in Morocco.

I came to Cape Town to investigate the red wine market. This time when I go back, maybe a lot of red wine will be shipped here by seaplane every month for sale.

Saying so much is nothing more than deepening the impression of this person.

If someone from MI6 comes to ask in the future, this statement will definitely confuse them.

Chu Xiangqian waited until the plane was fully fueled and the oil drum was fixed in the cabin of the water jet before he said goodbye to the person in charge.

After getting on the plane's pneumatic engine, we glided along the sea for several hundred meters and took off smoothly.

I couldn't help but feel satisfied with this plane.

The Albatross has an empty weight of 10 tons, a maximum take-off weight of 17 tons, and a maximum payload of 13.8 tons.

Not to mention 1 ton of aviation fuel, the maximum capacity is 3.8 tons. Although the cabin is not large, it can still accommodate more than a dozen soldiers.

The plane flew high into the sky. Chu Xiangqian flew the plane while checking the terrain of the coastline on the map. Soon he flew north along the coastline.

Three hours later, the plane had traveled more than 3 kilometers and Chu Xiangqian lowered the plane a little.

When I saw the coastline from high in the sky, which changed from north to south to east to west, I knew I had arrived at the Gulf of Guinea.

According to the map, if we fly another three or four hundred kilometers west, we will cross Liberia.

After flying about 200 kilometers northwest, Chu Xiangqian landed off the coast of Konarik, a coastal city and capital of Guinea.

Fortunately, there was no wind today, and the seaplane landed on the sea like a ship.

Wait until it gets dark, and at the same time, store all the fuel on the plane in the Novice Village.

I left the tit behind as an early warning aircraft and then entered the Novice Village to clear all the wild monsters and supplies that had refreshed today.

He went back to Stromgarde and had a sumptuous dinner with Luna. He wanted to go back after dark, but Luna refused to let him go.

I could only focus my attention on the titmouse, and when I saw there were only ripples on the sea surface, I felt relieved and went to take a hot spring bath with Luna.

Not only did she play around with Luna, but the four elf maids around her also entered the hot spring at Luna's signal.

Now Chu Xiangqian has met his match.

This girl had never won when playing poker with Luna in the past, but with four helpers, the battle became very intense.

Moreover, the physical strength of elves is indeed much stronger than that of humans. The game lasted for more than two hours before it ended in a draw.

Of course, it’s not that Chu Xiangqian doesn’t have the strength to fight a protracted battle. It’s just that if it takes too long, he will no longer enjoy the fun of playing cards, but will become competitive.

Over time, you will inevitably feel bored.

Chu Xiangqian didn't want to find playing cards boring in the future, so he just did whatever made him feel comfortable.

Fortunately, he was indeed strong enough. The five female elves took turns to compete with each other. He was satisfied, and so were Luna and the others.

Chu Xiangqian slept with Luna, who was having a rare but happy sleep, until 4 a.m. When he woke up, he saw Luna was still sleeping soundly.

Without waking her up, he quietly returned to the seaplane in the real world.

Release a fishing boat, then take the albatross into the Novice Village and place it on the sea at the wooden pier east of the Novice Village.

They drove the fishing boat closer to Konarik and then replaced it with a small wooden boat.

After getting ashore, there were actually quite a few black uncles on the dock still sorting out fishing nets or small sailboats. It seemed that they were preparing to go out to sea at dawn. Chu Xiangqian simply didn't want the wooden boat.

When we came to a deserted place, we got on our motorcycle and headed east.

With a freshly fed titmouse in the sky acting as an early warning aircraft, the journey out of Konarik City was smooth.

But after leaving Konarik, the road immediately became difficult to travel.

Guinea may not look very big on the map, but it actually covers 24.5 square kilometers. The country has seven regions, which is roughly equivalent to a coastal province in China.

It is also rich in water resources, has the highest forest coverage rate in West Africa, and its agriculture is relatively developed.

However, the developed agriculture also means that the country has basically no industry. When the Gallic Rooster controlled Guinea, it never thought of building this country.

In the past, present and future, the countries within the French sphere of influence in Africa have always been regarded as objects of exploitation.

Otherwise, the future black uncles in power in Africa would not have publicly mentioned many times that Europe and the United States brought disaster and exploitation to Africa.

They have never known what construction is. They only know how to act like a squeezer, plundering Africa's wealth while trying every means to keep Africa in an agricultural society.

Since Guinea has abundant water resources, it also means there is a lot of rainfall, and now it is the rainy season in May.

After several heavy rains, the road immediately became muddy.

Chu Xiangqian drove his motorcycle out of Konarik, but after only two hours, he began to doubt his life.

The wheels of the motorcycle will be stuck in the mud and slip constantly. Let alone traveling hundreds of kilometers a day, it is considered good if you can travel dozens of kilometers a day.

Chu Xiangqian put away his motorcycle while cursing, and he realized that it must be the Gallic rooster who deliberately did not repair the road.

If the roads are not smooth, people can be trapped within a dozen kilometers around their residence.

Without trade and communication, any trouble they might cause would be minor and would not affect the rule of the Gallic rooster.

However, there is no shortage of smart people in this world, and there are also many knowledgeable and ambitious black uncles.

Controlling the city is equivalent to controlling the country.

When Uncle Hei comes to power, maybe they, like the Gallic rooster, don't want to see their fellow countrymen become prosperous.

Chu Xiangqian smiled and shook his head, no longer thinking about these bad things. He simply went into the Novice Village himself, without taking off his clothes, and lay directly in the fountain pool.

Fortunately, this pool has its own cleaning and refreshing functions. After soaking for more than ten minutes, not only did my body become clean, but my clothes also changed from yellow and muddy to clean. During these ten minutes, Chu Xiangqian had already checked the surrounding terrain through the mountain sparrow.

He got up from the fountain, rode Red Hare to the stables south of the village, selected a few quarter horses, and put on saddles and other things.

Riding a horse out of the Novice Village, the speed immediately became several times faster than riding a motorcycle.

After a day of running, I had walked more than 200 kilometers. According to the map, it would only take more than two days to reach the inland mountain rain forest that Gabriel mentioned.

In fact, if Chu Xiangqian had landed in Sierra Leone, the journey would have been shorter by crossing the entire Sierra Leone, but Chu Xiangqian chose to go through Guinea because Gabriel said that if he walked along the Niger River in Guinea, he would not get lost.

After listening to people's advice and eating a full meal, Chu Xiangqian naturally didn't want to get lost in the vast hills and alpine rain forests of West Africa.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Chu Xiangqian did not continue moving forward, but returned to the Novice Village with the Quarter Horse, which he had changed three times today.

Both the horse and the person entered the fountain and soaked in it for more than ten minutes. After their bodies were clean, they led the horse out of the pool.

He left this horse and the other two Quarter Horses eating grass in the village while he rode on Red Hare to kill all the wild monsters and supplies that appeared.

Then go back to Stromgarde to eat, play cards and sleep.

The next day he wanted to leave, but was stopped by several members of Stromgarde's management.

He could only spend the whole morning listening to the reports from the elves and dwarves and handling the political and mundane affairs of Stromgarde.

Just hold a banquet and invite the high-ranking officials in the castle to dine together.

We returned to Guinea in the afternoon and let go of the horse's power. There were three more horses to take turns with, and we ran more than 5 kilometers in 200 hours.

We continued to return to Stromgarde at night, and the next afternoon, we finally rode up to the plateau rain forest. We were only a few dozen kilometers away from the diamond mine that Gabriel mentioned.

Because there were tits that could explore in the air, Chu Xiangqian was lucky enough to find the river valley Gabriel mentioned in less than half an hour while he was soaking in the fountain.

What he didn't expect was that the three French intelligence agents and 3 hired black uncles who were supposed to be mining diamonds in the valley not only disappeared, but even their temporary camp was destroyed by someone.

When the titmouse lowered its altitude, Chu Xiangqian could see the specific situation of the camp through the titmouse's vision, and his pupils couldn't help but shrink.

Logically speaking, even if the three colleagues Gabriel mentioned and the 3 black uncles were attacked by the black uncles in the rainforest and were captured and taken away afterwards.

But the makeshift camps were either burned down or abandoned. Basically, no one would violently demolish the wooden thatched houses in the camps.

But the seven houses in the camp all collapsed as if they had been hit by an elephant.

Then Chu Xiangqian saw a lot of messy footprints, and at the same time he also saw clearly the huge footprints that made his pupils dilate.

The titmouse landed on a ruin. This time, Chu Xiangqian could clearly see that among the human footprints, there were many toe prints that were more than twice as large as the human footprints.

Chu stretched out his palm and took a look, and quickly determined that these footprints were most likely those of apes.

But even an adult male silverback gorilla weighs only about 350 kilograms at most, and is no taller than 1 meters when standing up, so its footprints cannot be twice as large as those of an adult male.

Chu Xiangqian hurriedly let the tit fly a few circles around the camp, and after finding the traces of abnormal footprints entering the rainforest, he immediately released the marten.

After tracking for half an hour, the footprints actually led to a temple that looked abandoned long ago and most of the buildings were covered with vegetation.

As soon as Huang Diao'er entered the temple entrance, it squeaked a warning, and Chu Xiangqian's heart became alert again.

With Huang Diao'er's strength, ordinary animals and beasts will not pose any threat to him at all. Now this little thing is squeaking and refusing to enter the temple, it must have discovered that there is danger inside.

Chu Xiangqian thought about it and decided that since the marten refused to enter the temple, he might as well let it climb up the tree and follow the vines to the roof of the temple.

Dig a hole further down.

After receiving the order, the little creature no longer resisted and climbed up a big tree in a few steps, and easily reached the temple along the trunk and vines.

A tit was looking down from the air, roughly comparing the size of the temple. Chu Xiangqian then ordered Huang Diao'er to dig a hole downwards from roughly the middle.

The marten is now level 28, and its ability to dig holes has become even stronger.

It only took a few minutes to dig through the roof and enter the temple.

The tit also went in through the tunnel to provide Chu Xiangqian with a view.

When Huang Diao'er dug through another layer of stone slab, Chu Xiangqian saw through the tit's line of sight and soon saw that in the abandoned temple, there were more than a dozen huge ape-like creatures that looked twice as strong as the silverback gorilla. They were either resting or playing with a few small monkeys.

Chu Xiangqian swallowed and guessed that this ape-like creature was most likely from a movie.

After all, he had never seen a giant ape that was at least two meters and twenty-three centimeters tall in his previous life.

Only in some movies would it be so exaggerated.

Chu Xiangqian already knew that this world was a movie world. After being shocked, he quickly accepted this fact.

Then in the temple, we saw the bodies of three white people and several black uncles. Fortunately, although the people were dead, judging from the integrity of the bodies, it seems that these giant apes had no intention of eating humans.

It's actually normal if you think about it. It's easy for an adult ape of 2.23 meters tall to fight a lion or tiger with bare hands.

This is a plateau rain forest with abundant rainfall, so the resources must be abundant.

These giant apes could easily feed their own groups by eating fruits and plants.

If you want to eat meat, when elephants come, you will have to lie down even if you encounter two or three male giant apes.

However, there were no skeletons in the temple. Chu Xiangqian quickly determined that the staple food of these monkeys should indeed be plants.

Otherwise, over the years, there would be more or less bones left in the nest.

And if they really ate meat, they would not let go of those corpses.

As for the other twenty or so black uncles, Chu Xiangqian guessed that they should have fled in all directions.

As for why he brought back three white-skinned corpses, Chu Xiangqian soon discovered several giant apes lying on the ground with gunshot wounds on their bodies.

It seems that when the giant ape attacked the camp, the three white men holding guns opened fire in panic.

Or perhaps they were accidentally encountered by giant apes while mining open-pit diamonds on the river beach, and after being attacked, they attracted the attack of the giant ape tribe.

Chu Xiangqian thought about it and quickly decided to ignore these giant apes for the time being. But just as he was about to let the tit and the marten leave, he saw several giant apes running out of a passage in the temple with a dozen small monkeys.

Moreover, some of the little monkeys were holding diamonds, the smallest of which was as big as a walnut and the largest as big as an apple, and they were lying on the ground, playing with them like pebbles.

When Chu Xiangqian saw an orange-sized diamond with a hint of pink through the tit, even though there were many diamonds and gems of all kinds in the novice village.

It could even be loaded with a truck, but I was still amazed by this pink diamond.
