Dhaka asked, "Sir, how should I address you?"
Xia Ruofei smiled faintly and said, "My name is Xia Tian."
Xia Ruofei's identity was originally a cover, and it was recorded in the entry and exit records. Furthermore, Xia Ruofei had also changed his appearance, so there was no need to keep it a secret.
Dhaka raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile, "Xia as in summer, Tian as in summer?"
Xia Ruofei was slightly stunned and said, "Correct!"
To be honest, seeing a black man speak Chinese in the distant African continent, Xia Ruofei still felt a sense of closeness. This had nothing to do with national pride or inferiority.
The waiting time was a bit boring, so Xia Ruofei chatted with him for a while.
Through the exchange, Xia Ruofei found out that this black man named Dhaka was also heading to Arulei. He worked in a Chinese organization in Arulei, mainly in translation and guiding.
Although Dhaka was not from Arulei, he had lived in Arulei for a few years when he was young and knew the local language. At the same time, he was also proficient in English. His Chinese was considered good among foreigners, so the translation job was actually quite suitable for him.
Xia Ruofei asked curiously, "Dhaka, as far as I know, Arulei and Huaxia are not very close. Why are there Chinese companies there?"
Before Xia Ruofei set off, he had also done some research on the small country of Alure. Of course, this kind of understanding was limited to reading some encyclopedias and not too in-depth. After all, he had come here this time to use thunderous methods to get rid of the Maud mercenary corps in one fell swoop, so he did not need to think too much about it.
Therefore, Xia Ruofei only knew that the relationship between Arulei and Huaxia was not particularly good.
Of course, this was because Dhaka had spent his childhood in Alurai, so it was a little more tactful.
In fact, Arulei was a rogue country. When it needed help, it would be very obedient, and when it got the benefits, it would quickly spout nonsense. It had even broken off relations with Huaxia before, and it was only in recent years that diplomatic relations were restored.
Dhaka smiled and said, "Summer, is there any place in the world that doesn't have Chinese companies? Especially in the African continent, as long as there are people, Huaxia companies will be there! It was business! Making money is the most important thing. "
Xia Ruofei was slightly taken aback. "'Our' Huaxia Enterprise?"
Dhaka grinned, revealing his big white teeth. He scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "When I was studying abroad in Huaxia, I fell deeply in love with this mystical eastern country. So … I'm considered a citizen of Spiritual Huaxia!"
Xia Ruofei could not help but laugh. On the internet, there were many exquisite people, elite people, and even Spiritual Huaxia people. This was the first time he had heard of Spiritual Huaxia, but it sounded pretty good, even if it was said by a poor African brother.
Dhaka continued, "Arulei is a very backward country. It's one of the least developed countries in the world. The average wage there is only three to four hundred Huaxia dollars. I work in a Chinese company, and my income is at least twenty to thirty times that of the locals. So, I love Huaxia!"
Xia Ruofei laughed and said, "You're honest!"
After the two chatted for a while, the announcement announced that they could board the plane. Therefore, the two of them stood up, picked up their luggage, and went to the boarding gate to queue.
Because Arulei was adjacent to Ethiopia, and the flight distance was not too far, the planes flying from Addis Ababa to Arulei were all ARJ regional jets, and they looked very old. They were at least ten years old.
These regional jets did not have first class cabins, and they were all economy class cabins.
Therefore, Xia Ruofei also bought an economy class ticket.
However, the entire flight was only two to three hours, and it would be over soon.
There were quite a lot of passengers on this flight, and there was a long queue at the boarding gate. Xia Ruofei was mixed in with a group of black people, and he was very conspicuous.
He chatted with Dhaka as he slowly moved forward with the queue.
After boarding the plane, Xia Ruofei quickly found her seat near the wing in the middle of the cabin with the help of the stewardess.
It was then that he and Dhaka realized that the two of them were actually in the same row, and there was only an aisle between them.
Dhaka immediately discussed with Mogensha beside Xia Ruofei, and Mogensha happily swapped seats with Dhaka.
Dhaka carried his little bag and sat down beside Xia Ruofei. He grinned and said, "Hey! Brother, this is fate! "
Xia Ruofei also nodded with a smile. With the cheerful Mogensha accompanying him, the journey would not be boring.
The two of them fastened their seatbelts, and chatted as they waited for the plane to take off.
The surrounding passengers saw that Dhaka was chatting so happily with a Huaxia person in Chinese, and they all looked at them with envy. Nowadays, the whole world knew that the Huaxia people were getting richer and richer, especially in places like Africa. The Huaxia people were like gods of wealth … No, the black brothers did not know about gods of wealth, they were like … like walking US dollars.
Soon, the plane received permission to take off. It taxied to the runway and began to accelerate.
As the old regional jet accelerated, creaking sounds came from the cabin, as if everything was shaking.
This was especially true after the plane took off. Every time the flaps were retracted, they could be heard clearly. The wings kept shaking as they flew, as if they would break at any time.
During this period of time, Xia Ruofei had been taking the Gulfstream business jet, which was much more comfortable than the large civil aircraft. Now that she had switched to this small regional jet, it was like switching from a sports car to a tractor. She was not used to it for a while.
He looked at Dhaka and the surrounding passengers curiously, and found that they all looked normal. It was as if there was nothing scary about the shaky flight.
Xia Ruofei was not afraid because he was confident. If the plane really crashed, he could still hide in the Ring-Tu space. Although it might be troublesome in the end, at least his life would not be in danger.
But were the ordinary passengers not afraid at all?
Xia Ruofei was curious and could not help but ask Dhaka.
Dhaka grinned and said, "Xia, you'll get used to it! I've been on this plane for at least one or two times a month, sometimes three or four times a month. It's been more than two years. Do you think I'll still be afraid? Most of the passengers on the plane fly this route often, so they're used to it! "
"I see …" Xia Ruofei said with a smile. "I've learned a lot!"
"You're not nervous?" Dhaka was also curious. He smiled and said, "I remember a friend of mine from Huaxia took this plane for the first time. He was so scared that his face turned pale and his hands and feet were cold. After landing, he swore that he would never take this plane again. When he returned to China, he even took a bus to Ethiopia, then took the train to Addis Ababa."
"Isn't that a little too exaggerated?" Xia Ruofei said with a smile. "I'm not nervous, I'm just not used to it!"
Fortunately, the turbulence was not constant throughout the flight. When the plane climbed to cruising altitude, the turbulence lessened a lot. The stewardesses even started to push out small carts to serve the passengers. In the past, when the plane was in China, the stewardesses would be asked to stop serving the passengers and sit in their seats with their seatbelts fastened. They would only resume serving the passengers after the plane stabilized.
Xia Ruofei politely declined the food provided by the stewardess. He was not interested in the sticky local "delicacies", especially when the food was cooked and reheated on the plane. It looked terrible, and Xia Ruofei lost his appetite.
Dhaka, on the other hand, enjoyed the food. When he saw that Xia Ruofei did not want to eat, he asked the stewardess to give Xia Ruofei's share to him as well. Then, he ate with relish.
There was a strange smell in the cabin.
Xia Ruofei did not know how to describe the smell of the food. To put it simply, it smelled like curry and durian mixed together. One could only imagine how touching the smell in the cabin was.
Xia Ruofei even used his qi to temporarily seal his sense of smell.
When most of the passengers had finished eating, the smell in the cabin subsided.
Xia Ruofei saw that Dhaka had finished his lunch and asked with a smile, "Dhaka, are there any fun places in Alurai? Can you introduce me to some places? "
Xia Ruofei had set himself up as a backpacker. Now that Huaxia's economy had improved, there were more and more people traveling abroad. There were many people like him who traveled alone with simple luggage to non-mainstream destinations.
Dhaka grinned and said, "Brother, you've asked the right person! I'm quite familiar with Alurai! "
"Oh? Then can you recommend some fun places? "Xia Ruofei said with a smile.
"Let me think about it!" Dhaka raised his head and thought for a moment, then said with a bitter smile, "Alurai doesn't have many tourist resources, and there aren't many places to visit. If we're talking about interesting places, the Alurai Temple should be one of them. Although it doesn't seem like much to us locals, I think you'll be interested. After all, you can experience a completely different culture from the East there. "
"Alurai Temple?" Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "A temple that's named after the country? I really want to visit it!"
Dhaka pursed his lips and said, "Alurai is very small. It's not even as big as a province in Huaxia! No … Many prefecture-level cities are bigger than it! So it's not really a temple that's named after the country. You'll get used to it after seeing it more. For example, our destination this time is called Alurai City. It's the capital of Alurai, and it's also named after the country. "
Xia Ruofei couldn't help but chuckle. Dhaka, this Spiritual Huaxia guy, really wasn't just for show. Even the words "our Huaxia" were spoken so naturally that it didn't feel out of place at all.
Along the way, Xia Ruofei and Dhaka chatted casually, and he gained a better understanding of Dhaka and Alurai.
The Chinese company that Dhaka worked for was in the construction of roads and bridges, and had contracted many projects in Alurai. There were several construction sites all over the country that were in operation at the same time.
Of course, the so-called "nationwide" wasn't as big as a prefecture-level city in Huaxia.
Additionally, the president of Alurai was also a weirdo. He had issued many ridiculous decrees, such as "no farting in public". The rules were very detailed, and if no one caught farting, it wasn't considered illegal. However, if someone caught it and reported it, it could even lead to imprisonment.
The president also gave himself many titles, such as commander-in-chief of the armed forces of Alurai, honorary admiral of the Alurai navy, and so on. In reality, Alurai's armed forces were very weak, and as a small landlocked country, there was no navy at all.
Even a mercenary group like Mord could become the emperor of Alurai. One could only imagine how backward the country's armed forces were.
With Dhaka, the Spiritual Huaxia guy, by his side, Xia Ruofei's journey didn't feel so boring. He felt like the flight time seemed to pass faster, and soon, the plane began to descend.
The maddening bumps started to appear again.
Xia Ruofei and Dhaka fastened their seatbelts and calmly waited for the plane to land. Dhaka saw that Xia Ruofei's expression was so relaxed, and it was obvious that he was really calm. He couldn't help but give Xia Ruofei a thumbs up.
Although the plane was shaky, the pilot's skills seemed to be good.

Although the plane was shaky, the pilot's skills seemed to be good.
The crosswind in Alurai's airport was quite strong today, and the regional jet itself was quite small. Landing in the crosswind was quite challenging. When it finally landed, the plane was almost perpendicular to the runway, using an angle to offset the crosswind.
