The thing that defeats you in rebirth is not the distance but five years

Albakan at night is simply an unrestrained world. In every place where there are people, people are dancing, every household has unique music, men, women, old and young are kissing and singing on the street.

Joyful smiles hang on everyone's face. There is no one doing business here. Everyone is enjoying the night life to the fullest. There are various performances in the street square.

The dynamic and shocking music makes the rhythm of your body shake, and everyone around you is dancing, and you can't help but twist and twist. Even reserved Asians are driven to let themselves go.

When Su Mo went downstairs, Zhang Ze took him to the street. There were fruit snacks on both sides. You can take whatever you want to eat, but you want to dance together. I didn’t eat this morning. My stomach growled and Zhang Ze shook Holding his body, he pulled Su Mo around, and the two danced and ate, having fun.

People in the whole city seem to be immersed in the world of music and dance.

After two days of fun here, Zhang Ze took Su Mo and drove to the deeper part of Africa - Central Africa.The further you go, the more deserts and wastelands there are.

The two changed into local clothes. There are few high-rise buildings here, and most of them are stone houses. In the vast desert, there are many oases and lakes.

"Let's camp here tonight." Zhang Ze spread out the tent on the car and said to Su Mo who was observing the equatorial galaxy with a telescope.

The stars seen here are clearer than other places. Su Mo aimed his eye sockets at the camera, and made an OK gesture with his left hand. It was already past [-] o'clock in the evening, and the sun had just set, and there was a hotel behind.

"Do you think some reptiles from the desert will pass by here at night? Wolves, sheep, or others?" Zhang Ze zipped up the tent, took out the quilt from the car, and leaned over to Su Mo's. Words whispered in his ears.

When Su Mo heard this, his whole body went numb. Ever since he was a child, he was very afraid of sheep. He dared not move when he saw a sheep. When Zhang Ze said it, he shuddered.

Su Mo slapped Zhang Ze vigorously. Zhang Ze twisted his body and dodged it. Su Mo rolled his eyes at him: Don't say you will die.

Zhang Ze learned from Wuyou that Su Mo was most afraid of sheep and couldn't even look at pictures of sheep. When he first found out about this, he rolled on the ground laughing, soiled his clothes, and was even covered by them. The teacher scolded me.

Su Mo stared at the camera carefully. The news said that there will be a large number of Leonid meteor showers tonight, and there are still a few hours before [-] o'clock, but he is afraid that he will miss it.

"Ah—" A loud sound of milk came from Zhang Ze's throat, which attracted Su Mo's attention. Zhang Ze carried the water out of the car. They bought it in the village for [-] dirhams. It can be bought in a large barrel for only [-] yuan in the west of Beijing. In Central Africa, water is more valuable than life.

Zhang Ze carefully moved the water down, came out of Morocco, and drove all the way south. Except for the strange natural conditions along the way that shocked the two, it was that the water was extremely expensive.

Because the choice is a self-driving tour, most of the two live in a homestay or sleep in the open.

Su Mo is the kind of person who just walks away. Wherever there is an interesting place, he gets in the car and leaves. So all the way south, he almost sleeps by himself. Tents can be bought here, and they are very simple to set up, which is very suitable for two people.

The most precious thing about today’s bucket of water for them is to take a bath, yes, you read that right, they haven’t bathed for a long time, God knows how sticky they are, the clothes here are just a few big silk scarves wrapped, in fact It is very airtight. Basically, after wearing it during the day, it will not work at night, it is too smelly.

"I finally understand why African people don't like to wear clothes so much." Zhang Ze took off his shirt. After this trip, his neck was already darkened more than once, his face was brownish red, his snow-white chest and two The arms are in stark contrast. From a distance, one would think they belonged to two people.

"It smells so bad!" Zhang Ze threw the clothes away with the smell of sweat and yellow sand wrapped in the silk scarf, and poured water on his body bit by bit with a mineral water bottle.

"Cool." It was the first time he took a shower in a long time, which made him miss the cozy little room in Chrisanne.

If Christian is a docile lamb, then Central Africa is a violent tiger. The two places are completely different.

Zhang Ze used half a bucket of water to take a bath. This move was resisted by Su Mo. Su Mo moved the water away to prevent Zhang Ze from pouring water on his body. If they continued to wash, they might die of thirst in the wild tomorrow. God knows what he will try to do tomorrow.

Before four o'clock in the morning, the sun shone hotly on the tent. Su Mo had completely adapted to this time, and got up at dawn. Maybe it was on the equator, and people didn't like to sleep.

Su Mo was lying on the bed and fiddling with the camera. The photos were shooting stars taken last night. He took nearly [-] photos in a row. The starry sky at [-] o’clock at night was really amazing. For the first time, he felt that the stars are everyone who pursues happiness. A wishing lamp hanging in the sky, bright and eternal.

Suddenly, something seemed to be hitting the inside of the tent from outside, and it felt as if it was pushing up from the bottom of the tent. Su Mo shook Zhang Ze awake, Zhang Ze rubbed his eyes in a daze, his brain nerves were still in a sleep state.

Su Mo pointed to his body, Zhang Ze looked down and felt a huge head pushing their tent.

"Under...under...my ass...under my ass." Zhang Ze's voice was trembling with fear. Not a furry animal, his body is sharp and uneven, with bumps and bumps that make people feel uncomfortable.

Su Mo unzipped the tent, dragged Zhang Ze out, and when he opened the tent, a huge tail was exposed in front of their eyes. The two were so scared that they didn't dare to breathe out, for fear of disturbing the animal that was still digging the hole.

The tail was black and green, more than three meters long, and the uneven back made Su Mo think it was a crocodile, but he denied it immediately. There can't be crocodiles here in the desert.

"Crocodile...crocodile...crocodile" Zhang Ze's voice trembled, Zhang Ze got halfway through, and he couldn't even lift his feet.

"It's a lizard." Su Mo looked at the big tail and decided it was a lizard. Su Mo quickly closed the zipper, opened the left zipper, and quickly got out of the tent.

"Come out quickly." Su Mo poked his head in, stretched out his right hand and pulled Zhang Ze out who was still in a daze.

When they came out, they saw a lizard more than ten meters long held under their tent, still trying to dig a hole.

"Mine, it's so big." Zhang Ze opened his mouth wide. This should be the largest and scariest lizard in the world.

"Go, don't let him sense us." Su Mo carried the water into the car, "By the way, the camera." Su Mo remembered that the camera was still inside the tent.

So he scrambled into the tent to get the camera, but he stepped on the lizard's head. The lizard turned over and flipped the tent over again. Only then did the lizard realize that this was not a hill, and ran around anxiously. , like a reptilian dinosaur sweeping across the entire desert.

"Get in the car." Zhang Ze started the car and shouted to Su Mo in the tent.

Taking advantage of the yellow sand all over the sky, Su Mo quickly ran into the car, but the sound of the engine caught Lizard's attention. He regarded the car as an enemy, turned around and started chasing the car and crawling desperately.

Zhang Ze saw the lizard's big scary head in the rear car mirror, and immediately became much more sober. He put it in fifth gear and drove away.

But poof—the car stalled.

"Hold the grass..." Zhang Ze was so angry that he smashed the steering wheel.

It was Su Mo who reacted quickly. He restarted the ignition and the car started, but with a bang, the lizard hit the car, and he climbed onto the roof of the car, covering half the sky with a huge head, looking at his ferocious face , Zhang Ze was frightened and called his mother directly: "It's over, it's over, it's over."

The lizard slapped the rear of the car with its tail and hit the roof with its head. The car was pushed back and forth, and Su Mo grabbed the steering wheel and shouted, "Quickly speed up."

Zhang Ze stepped on the accelerator to the top, then shifted gears, accelerated again, and shifted gears again, the car did not turn off.

Su Mo swung the steering wheel back and forth, once to the left, then to the right, then to the right, and made another big turn. In short, it was twisted and twisted, and the lizard was so dizzy that it had to stop.

Su Mo didn't stop, and continued to shake the steering wheel. After a while, the lizard slowly slid down from the car.Seeing this, Su Mo immediately corrected his direction and drove straight forward. After driving for half an hour, the lizard hadn't followed, so he relaxed his vigilance.

The more the car drove in, the weather became more and more humid, the temperature dropped suddenly, and then there were endless prairie, continuous mountains and unattainable plateaus.

"We've arrived in the real south." Zhang Ze forgot about Su Mo, who was worried about running out of water a moment ago, but at this moment, Su Mo drank the last sip of water.

Entering the plateau, Zhang Ze filled up the car with the fragrance of greenery. The oil price here is more expensive than that in Morocco. It costs [-] dirhams per liter. Compared with Jingxi, it is cheaper than plain water, but here There are very few people with cars.

The tranquility of the jungle did not make Su Mo want to stay for a long time, because occasionally he could hear the howling of iceberg snow wolves.

"Why, the price clearly says [-] dirhams." Zhang Ze argued with a big black man in pure British English.

"You can choose not to add it, it's up to you." The big black man stepped aside and cleaned the water pipe in a dilapidated part of the gas station.

"What's the matter?" Su Mo asked Zhang Ze, and Zhang Ze was in a hurry to quarrel with others.

"He saw us as Asians and raised the gas price to [-] a liter." Zhang Ze looked at the black man with angry eyes, and the black man was cleaning the water pipe as if nothing had happened.

"Is the fuel tank full?" Su Mo asked Zhang Ze, while closing the car door, he looked at the black man who was cleaning the black water pipe.

"It's full, it's not obvious that I'm cheating money." Zhang Ze looked at the oil pipe still hanging on the fuel tank.

"Let's run." Su Mo looked into Zhang Ze's eyes, and there was a look in his eyes that he was going to do something bad.

"Run?" Zhang Ze smiled at each other, and immediately agreed to this approach.

Su Mo walked to the left, pulled the door, and jumped into the car. Zhang Ze threw the fuel pipe out, closed the fuel tank door, and immediately got into the back seat. At this time, Su Mo had already started the car.

The sound of the rumbling car finally alarmed the big black man. He cursed and got up and ran over from the corner, but Su Mo had already started the car, and he went back to the washing pipe, holding a long pole with a diameter of [-]. [-]'s American gun, shooting at the car.

The sound of crackling bullets pierced through the iron sheet, "lower your head." Su Mo shouted to Zhang Ze in the back seat, and at the same time speeded up, and drove further away.

"Fuck, this poor countryman is still practicing racial discrimination." Zhang Ze raised his head, it was too thrilling, he didn't expect that this black man was still carrying a gun, "If I knew he had a gun, I would give him the money. "Fortunately, I ran fast, otherwise it would really be over.

Su Mo nodded. It is said that this is a dwelling place for terrorists. The education and culture here is backward, and the government and gangsters are in collusion. The big black man you saw just now is probably one of them.

"We offended this person, and they will definitely not let us go." Zhang Ze analyzed that this place is called Yilebo. If they go south, it will be an unattainable mountain range, and driving will become very difficult. For the group of people that I have offended, refueling will become a big problem.

"Let's go west. Going west is the ocean." Su Mo replied, he clicked on the navigation, and only going west is the most suitable for self-driving travel.

"You can also go east. If you go east, you will be in Asia." Zhang Ze asked tentatively.

Su Mo looked at the navigation and turned the direction. Zhang Ze was unsteady and loaded onto the glass, and didn't say anything after that.

After a long time, he turned from the back seat to the front: "I'll help you with the navigation." Zhang Ze glanced at the serious Su Mo. There were some things that he really hoped he wouldn't mention for the rest of his life, and really wanted to give himself a big mouth.

"Libreville." Zhang Ze looked at the terminal. It was a developed country with lush coastal vegetation and rich products. There was no strong light or sunshine along the equator along the way, only countless rainy days. The environment It was so wet that I always felt that there was water on my body.

Su Mo no longer has the problem of running out of water. The new problem is: mosquitoes. The mosquitoes here are so big that they bite people so terrible that he dare not look at the car window at all. After resting overnight, he hurried on his way.

Finally, in the afternoon of the second day, they found the village. They bought enough dry food and beer. Yes, how can they cope with the loneliness along the way without beer.

Zhang Ze recharged his mobile phone. Although it was expensive, he obediently taught him the money. The further west he drove, the warmer the weather. Su Mo knew that they were not far from the sea.

"We're going to Libreville." Zhang Ze answered the question asked by the young man in the rest area.

"Libreville, it's not particularly cool." The young man waved his hand, "You can go to the Meron Volcano." The young man pointed to Put Down in the north.

"There is an island next to it, so many people go there, I heard it's very good." The young man's eyes showed longing.

"Have you been there?" Zhang Ze asked the young man.

"No, we have to stay at home and farm all year round."

"Have you never left here?"

"Never!" The young man looked at the car, obviously seeing this kind of car very rarely.
