Chapter 1298

An hour later, a China Airlines flight with the national flag painted on its fuselage took off at Beijing International Airport.

Xia Ruofei was on this plane, and his destination was the Shencheng International Airport several hundred kilometers away.

Of course, Xia Ruofei's final destination will naturally not be Shencheng.

In fact, he only stayed in Shencheng for an hour, and he did not even leave the restricted area of ​​the airport. He directly boarded the plane of China Eastern Airlines and flew to the Bole Airport in Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia.

The final destination of Xia Ruofei's trip is Arure, a small landlocked country in Africa.

It's just that there are no direct flights between China and many African countries, and it is necessary to transfer to some small African countries.

The Bole Airport in Addis Ababa is one of the busiest airports on the African continent. Many employees of Huaxia companies go to Africa for business trips and transit here; when they return to China, they will also come to Bole Airport to transit first. .

Xia Ruofei still booked the international flight of China Airlines. Because the flight lasted for more than 12 hours, Xia Ruofei naturally booked a luxury first-class ticket.

In fact, the so-called luxury first class is just like that. At most, the seats are more comfortable and spacious. In addition, the seats can be folded flat and become a bed. Of course, it cannot be as spacious as the bed at home. People who are a little taller have to curl up. fall asleep.

Xia Ruofei would definitely choose a private business jet for such a long voyage if he didn't need to change his face and leave the country. Even if he needed to land and refuel once on the way, the entire travel experience would definitely be more comfortable than taking a civil aircraft.

Of course, Xia Ruofei also came from a bitter child. He has been in the army for so many years. Although the conditions are good now, he is not so hypocritical that he can't stand the plane for more than ten hours. There are so many people who are reluctant to buy expensive air tickets. What about economy class!

It was already evening when the plane took off from Shencheng. When the plane climbed to the cruising altitude and the seat belt indicator went out, it was already dark outside the porthole.

Stewardesses also began to leave their seats to serve passengers.

The first-class service is naturally very attentive. The flight attendant first brought blankets, wash bags, pajamas, earphones, etc., one for each first-class passenger.

Immediately after that, the menu first class was brought to order.

In fact, China Airlines now even supports ordering food online before travel, but Xia Ruofei doesn't want to be so troublesome, after all, there are not many choices, and people's appetite will be reduced at high altitudes, their taste buds will become dull, and they will eat the same thing.

First-class meals are actually relatively advanced plane meals.

Xia Ruofei ordered a few kinds of food at random, and then asked for a glass of red wine mainly to sleep more comfortably.

Soon the meal he asked for was served, and the presentation was quite delicate, but the portion was a little small.

Xia Ruofei finished dinner, and then drank the red wine in small sips.

A flight attendant quickly came over and asked him softly if he wanted anything else to eat.

Xia Ruofei waved his hand and said, "I'm full. It's hard for you to put all these away! By the way... Please help me level the seat after I'm done, I'm ready to rest."

"Okay!" the stewardess said, and then began to pack up quickly.

Xia Ruofei took the toilet bag and went to the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face, and put on the cotton pajamas provided by the airline by the way.

When he returned to his seat, the flight attendant had already made his bed and brought a small quilt.

"If I don't wake up, please wake me up in seven hours." Xia Ruofei said.

"Okay sir!" the stewardess said respectfully, "Good night!"

"thanks!"

Xia Ruofei got into the bed, put on the headphones, and watched a movie in the multimedia system. After a while, he fell into a deep sleep.

After almost seven hours, the flight attendant came to wake Xia Ruofei.

He rubbed his eyes and sat up, the plane still flying smoothly at cruising altitude.

Xia Ruofei glanced outside the porthole and found that it was still pitch black.

He got up and went to the bathroom to wash up, put on his clothes again, and when he returned to his seat, the flight attendant had restored the bed to a seat.

For the next three or four hours, Xia Ruofei sat in his seat a little bored, because Ethiopia's time was five hours slower than China's, so although it was almost early morning in China, it was still midnight here, and it was pitch black outside the porthole to see everything. not see.

At more than one o'clock in the morning local time, China Airlines' Airbus Jumbo landed smoothly at Bole Airport in Addis Ababa.

Xia Ruofei picked up his small backpack and got off the plane.

The airport is not very busy in the early morning, the frequency of aircraft takeoffs and landings is much lower than during the day, and there are not many people in the terminal building.

Because there are only two flights a day from Bole Airport to Arure Airport, and the earliest flight is at around 12 noon tomorrow, Xia Ruofei has booked a local hotel in advance and decided to take a rest before coming over to take the flight.

Therefore, in addition to applying for Arure's tourist visa, Xia Ruofei also applied for Ethiopia's transit visa.

Of course, this was all done in a very short time with the help of Zhao Yongjun.

Zhao Yongjun learned that Xia Ruofei was coming to Africa, and did not ask him what he was doing here, so he made careful preparations for him. In addition to personally helping him run the visa, some trivial details were considered.

For example, Xia Ruofei learned that he needed a "International Certificate of Vaccination or Preventive Measures" commonly known as Xiaohuangben when he left the customs. He flipped through his shoulder bag and saw this Xiaohuangben inside.

This was naturally prepared by Zhao Yongjun for him.

Xia Ruofei didn't get any vaccines.

The environment on the African continent is relatively harsh, and there are still some stubborn diseases that cannot be eliminated, such as malaria, which can even be life-threatening if you get these diseases.

But Xia Ruofei naturally doesn't need to worry about it. If a cultivator is still infected with a disease, it will really laugh out loud if it spreads out.

Xia Ruofei, in accordance with "international practice", put a 10-dollar bill in his passport, and he quickly cleared the customs smoothly.

He walked out of the airport, got into a taxi, and headed to the hotel he had booked online.

For the convenience of transfer, Xia Ruofei's hotel is near the airport.

Along the way, Xia Ruofei looked out of the car window curiously. This was the first time he came to the mysterious African continent.

Ethiopia is a relatively poor and backward country, but Addis Ababa is the capital of Ethiopia after all. The appearance of the city looks good, at least better than the stereotype in Xia Ruofei's mind.

There were almost no pedestrians on the street in the early morning, and the buildings on both sides of the road were shadowy in the dark night. Xia Ruofei did not feel uneasy about coming to a foreign country. After the freshness passed, he leaned on the back of the seat and closed his eyes lazily.

The hotel is very close to the airport, and arrived in no time.

Xia Ruofei came to the front desk of the hotel, and a sleepy black girl cheered up and received him.

Xia Ruofei used English and sign language to communicate with the black girl with difficulty, and finally completed the check-in procedure.

He took the room card and took a creaking elevator to the fifth floor where the room was located.

Looking at the mottled elevator and the tattered carpet after going out, Xia Ruofei really doubts that this hotel can meet the three-star standard?

Or is the standard of three-star in Ethiopia and three-star in China different?

Xia Ruofei felt that fortunately, in order to facilitate the transfer, the priority was the location, so he booked a "three-star hotel". If he booked a "five-star hotel" in the city center, the psychological gap may be even greater.

After finding his room, Xia Ruofei opened the door and went in.

He inserted the key card at the power outlet, then turned on all the lights and looked around the room.

This hotel is indeed a bit old, and the furnishings in the room are a few years old.

But to his satisfaction, although it looks a little broken, at least the sanitary conditions are still good, not as messy as he imagined.

Xia Ruofei then used his mental power to check the entire room again.

When he came to an unfamiliar place, the first thing Xia Ruofei did was to check the surrounding environment.

Luckily, there's no mess of tiny cameras, monitors, or anything like that.

Xia Ruofei threw the bag on the bed, then walked into the bathroom to take a shower.

In fact, according to the time in China, it is already six or seven in the morning, and Xia Ruofei also slept for a while on the plane, so there is no sleepiness at all at this time.

He didn't book the hotel for sleeping, mainly because he had nearly ten hours of waiting time, and it would be difficult to stay at the airport all the time. It would be better to find a hotel, even lying down and resting for a while.

Xia Ruofei was halfway through the shower in the bathroom, and suddenly the room became dark.

He subconsciously released his mental power and found that the entire hotel was pitch-dark. Only then did he realize that there should be a power outage.

Power outage, these two words are already a very distant word in the eyes of the Chinese people today.

Except for power company maintenance or force majeure natural disasters, there are basically no large-scale power outages in China, and the days of power shortages are already very far away.

The water sprayed from the shower head became very cold.

Xia Ruofei didn't care, even if it was ice water, he could wash it correctly. As for darkness, it doesn't matter. The eyes of a high-level cultivator in the Qi refining period are much stronger than night vision devices.

Xia Ruofei took the bath step by step, wiped his body, took out the home clothes from the space and put on it, and then went out to lie on the bed to rest.

He is very energetic now, it can be said that he has no sleep at all.

So he didn't force himself to sleep, but took out his mobile phone and watched the news for a while. Before leaving, he applied for international roaming with the mobile phone number he used this summer. Although the network signal here is a bit poor, it is still usable.

Xia Ruofei lay down and rested for a few hours. At more than nine o'clock in the morning, he went downstairs to prepare to find something to eat.

In the hotel restaurant, Xia Ruofei asked for a toast and a glass of avocado juice.

The taste of the bread is average, it feels a little toasted, with a hint of burnt smell.

It was the shea juice that impressed Xia Ruofei, the fragrance was very strong, and it should be quite high in purity.

He finished his breakfast in a hurry, and asked for another glass of shea butter.

After eating, Xia Ruofei went back to the room upstairs, packed the simple luggage, went downstairs to check out the room, and then asked the front desk to help call a taxi.

To this end, Xia Ruofei also tipped the black girl at the front desk $50.

The black girl's eyes lit up, and Xia Ruofei had no doubt that if she showed a hint of willingness, the black girl would definitely come over without hesitation.

You must know that the local monthly salary is equivalent to a few hundred Huaxia coins. The $50 tip given by Xia Ruofei is almost half a month's salary for the front desk clerk.

However, Xia Ruofei is not so heavy on taste, his aesthetics are relatively traditional, and European and American blondes can accept it. For black girls...forget it.

Xia Ruofei took a taxi and went to Bole Airport again.

It was the morning of local time, and the outside could be seen clearly.

Xia Ruofei found that his first impression of Ethiopia last night was entirely based on "beauty from hazy". Today, when the veil of darkness faded, he discovered that even in the capital of Ethiopia, the development level of Addis Ababa is relatively backward. of. The buildings outside looked a little dilapidated, and Xia Ruofei saw several unfinished buildings in the short distance from the hotel to the airport.

After returning to Bole Airport, Xia Ruofei went to the counter to go through the formalities again, and went through the security check to enter the restricted area of ​​the airport.

Bole Airport is actually very small, and Xia Ruofei quickly found his boarding gate.

At this time, it was more than an hour before his Ethiopian Airlines flight took off. Xia Ruofei found an empty seat and sat down and waited.

He reached into his backpack, actually took out a book from the space, and flipped through it casually.

After a while, a hesitant voice sounded beside him: "Are you...a Chinese?"

This person spoke Mandarin, but the tone was a little weird. Xia Ruofei looked around and saw a black young man in his early twenties looking at him with a smile.

Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "Yes, I am from China!"

"Hello, hello!" the black youth said enthusiastically, "Introduce myself, my name is fdaslkjaasdfadaka... well, it doesn't matter! Our African names are so long that I can't even remember them sometimes. , you can call me Dhaka!"

Xia Ruofei wanted to laugh a little: "Punch in? Is this to remind myself to go to work and not forget to sign in?"

Dhaka grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

He nodded and said: "Actually, this is just a syllable in my name, because it's easier to remember, so my friends call me that. By the way, I have many Huaxia friends because I once studied abroad in the capital of Huaxia for three years. I also learned Chinese at that time!"
