It is actually very convenient to get to Black Africa from Western Europe. You can take a boat or a plane.
You can reach the other side by crossing the Mediterranean Sea, but you still have to pass through several countries.
Chen Fan and Ning Xuecheng took Tang Wu and his entourage and set off to inspect the destination.
Unlike Western Europe, the environment here is relatively poor and extremely hot.
Fortunately, the place we are going to this time is not far from the seaside, so it is relatively cooler, but the security environment here is particularly poor.
Some businessmen who come to invest here basically have their own escorts, and they also own guns.
If you don't arm yourself, there's no way you can survive here.
Everyone had just arrived at the airport and before going through security check, a middle-aged man came over with a team.
Chen Fan didn't pay attention at first. He led his people through the security check and then walked towards the boarding gate.
After a while, the middle-aged man and his team also passed the security check and walked towards the same boarding gate.
The plane is still checking in, so you need to wait for a while.
Chen Fan and Ning Xuecheng were sitting there. Unexpectedly, the middle-aged man looked at him several times.
"Little brother, have we met somewhere?"
Seeing the other party coming to say hello, Chen Fan also looked at him seriously, "You are..."
"Haha, don't you remember? We met last time."
"My name is Zhang Jiandong."
Chen Fan remembered, "Oh, oh, oh!"
"It turns out to be you!"
Zhang Jiandong met Chen Fan on the plane when he first came to Western Europe.
He is a manager in the mineral resources industry. Unexpectedly, the two of them met here again.
He saw Chen Fan and his group, "Where are you going?"
"travel?"
He looked at Ning Xuecheng, "Is this your girlfriend?"
Ning Xuecheng's face stiffened. He didn't like talking to strangers, but turned his attention to Chen Fan, obviously hoping he would explain.
Unexpectedly, this guy smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang, are you also going to Black Continent?"
Ning Xuecheng frowned when he saw that he didn't explain.
Some things were just acquiesced if she didn't explain them. She couldn't help but glared at him angrily.
Chen Fan pretended not to see it and started talking to Zhang Jiandong.
A young female secretary next to Zhang Jiandong is also very beautiful, but she is far inferior to Ning Xuecheng.
She also looked at Chen Fan and Chen Fan strangely, a little confused about their identities.
Zhang Jiandong was very talkative. He introduced to Chen Fan, "This is our team. This time we are going to Black Continent to look at a mineral resource. If we can reach an agreement, we will take it directly."
Chen Fan heard him say last time that he had been doing mining resources overseas, so he asked, "What kind of mine?"
Zhang Jiandong glanced at Ning Xuecheng, but Ning Xuecheng didn't look at anyone at all. She sat there with her headphones plugged in and listening to music.
"This time we went to see a gold mine. It is very difficult to develop overseas mining now. Those high-quality mineral resources have been taken away by Western capital, and what we have is garbage mines."
"But we also work in garbage mines. How else can we survive?"
"Hey, young man, if you go to the black continent like this, you can't just rely on a few bodyguards. It's very chaotic there."
"Of course, you can also pay to hire local armed forces to protect you when you get there."
Chen Fan nodded, "Thank you, Mr. Zhang, for reminding me."
The two talked for less than half an hour before boarding the plane. The two groups got on the plane together.
But the mining area they were going to didn't have an airport, so they had to travel by car for at least a day after getting off the plane.
Many people say that the moon abroad is round, but in fact the environment here is terrible.
The place where the plane landed was not bad. It should be one of the richest countries in black Africa.
But the environment in the mining area is not so good. Not to mention highways, there may not even be a normal road.
Zhang Jiandong has his own company here, and someone will pick them up as soon as they get off the plane. Chen Fan and the others can only find a way on their own.
Of course, he didn't want to trouble others.
So I asked Chen Meng to get some high-powered off-road vehicles. Money was not an issue.
Now there are sixteen of them and they need at least four cars.
Chen Meng took people out for a walk and found that there were very few Mercedes-Benz, BMW, or even Cadillacs here, but there were Great Wall cars that are often seen in China.
Chen Meng asked for three SUVs and a pickup truck.
You must know that Great Wall's pickup trucks are very durable and have good off-road performance. The main reason is that they are cheap.
All four cars were diesel versions. After getting the cars back, Chen Fan and his party hit the road.
It will take at least a day to get to the destination from here. Chen Fan asked Ning Xuecheng, "The environment will be very bad next. Can you bear it?"
"If you can't bear this hardship, you can wait for us here."
Ning Xuecheng glanced at him unhappily, "Am I that squeamish?"
So the sixteen people bought equipment and brought water and dry food.
The road was pretty good at the beginning, and we reached the border after driving for more than three hours.
The security here is also very good. After checking everyone's IDs, they are allowed to go directly.
Once you get out here, it's a completely different world.
The country with an airport is one of the richest in black Africa, but the mining area that Chen Fan and the others are going to is a dirt-poor country.
They have no airport and no flat roads here.
The bumpy road swayed left and right, causing Ning Xuecheng to stagger around and bump into Chen Fan from time to time.
Chen Fan also accidentally bumped into her sometimes. If it were normal times, Ning Xuecheng would definitely quit, but in this case she didn't say anything?
They walked through the mountains and through the villages and saw many children. They had big heads and dark bodies. They stared at the passing cars as if they were curious with their big, surprised eyes.
After driving for more than two hours, we finally arrived in the city.
The urban area here is not an urban area at all, and is inferior to the markets in the mountainous areas in China.
There are no high-rise buildings, just some buildings on the roadside, and many people setting up stalls and trading.
These people have one thing in common, that is, they are all pitch black, their hair is curly and fluffy, and everyone is very thin.
A few children came over with things to sell. Ning Xuecheng handed them some bread. They stretched out their black hands, and the bread fell apart instantly, and only a little bit of dregs remained after they snatched it.
A child who had grabbed most of the bread stuffed it into his mouth, covering his mouth with both hands, and trying hard to swallow with his eyes bulging.
But the bread was too dry, and he was reluctant to tear it into pieces before eating, for fear that others would snatch it away, so he wanted to swallow it in one bite.
Seeing this, another child who had not grabbed the bread rushed up, strangled him by the neck, and shook him to death several times.
Seeing that the other person was still covering his mouth with both hands, he was still swallowing hard.
The kid who didn't grab the bread punched him in the stomach.
Wow--
The child who had grabbed the bread opened his mouth and spat out, and the bread he had managed to put in was spat out and fell to the ground.
The boy didn't mind it either, so he picked it up and blew it a few times and stuffed it into his mouth.
Well!
When Chen Fan and others saw this scene, they were all stunned.
