Song Wenbin's ruthless sarcasm made Huo Yu immediately rebel. She took the walkie-talkie and sneered: "What are you proud of? Did my car break down? Did I run out of gas? It's not too late to laugh until you get 100,000 yuan."

Song Wenbin ignored her. Anyway, he was very satisfied with the fuel consumption of his Wuling Hongguang.

Huo Yu turned off his air conditioner and opened the windows, hoping to reduce fuel consumption in this way.

The three of them turned around two more hills. At this time, the continuous mountain road disappeared. Below the hills, there are endless meadows and tropical palm trees. An extremely wide river flows through the plains. Above the savannah shrubs, a huge fiery red sun is sinking.

Song Wenbin suddenly saw this scene and got goosebumps all over his body.

Although time was tight, he quickly stopped the car and wanted to take a look at the scene here.

Beside him, two girls unexpectedly walked out of the car and stood on the edge of the hills, witnessing the endless openness.

"It's amazing..." Song Wenbin murmured: "It feels completely different from the one on TV."

Sutina couldn't wait to take out her mobile phone and start taking pictures, but no matter how she took pictures, she couldn't capture the shock of seeing this scene with the naked eye.

"Where are we?"

Huo Yu asked in confusion.

Sutina looked at the navigation and said: "We seem to have...ran to the vicinity of Kajiyin Lake National Park..."

"Is this a national park?"

Song Wenbin was surprised.

"Yes, I think the road Baidu recommended to us is a tourist route."

Sutina whispered.

"I see. In the past two years due to the epidemic, the tourism industry has been almost deserted. No wonder no one is taking care of these roads." Huo Yu murmured.

Sutina shook her head and sighed: "Even if there was no epidemic, no one would take care of the roads here. In fact, the roads in Nigeria were basically built during the British colonial period and have not been maintained for more than a hundred years."

Song Wenbin was silent.

Huo Yu shook his head contemptuously.

Not only Song Wenbin and the others got out of the car, but the film crew on the side also ran out. More than a dozen people took out various gun barrels and kept taking pictures of the distant scene.

Although the three of them really wanted to watch here for a while, the drooping sun reminded them that time was running out all the time. In order not to rush at night like last night, the three of them had to get back into the car and drive all the way to the plains.

Along the way, the scenery at almost every moment is like wallpaper, majestic, open, lonely, full of wildness and antiquity that is different from reinforced concrete. Seeing this scene, Song Wenbin felt that the hardships he had suffered before were worth it.

The three of them drove forward for another hour. The road in front of them was submerged in weeds and became invisible. Huo Yu was a little worried. She took the walkie-talkie and asked: "It's so desolate here, are there any wild animals?"

"A national park, can it be called a national park if there are no wild animals?"

Song Wenbin said that he was looking forward to seeing some animals or something. In the future, I can brag about it with my friends when I return to China.

"Not necessarily... Nigeria has a population of 200 million, but its land area is only one-tenth that of China. And I haven't heard that the government here has any animal protection measures, so... maybe there shouldn't be any Right." Sutina said uncertainly: "Even if there is one, it shouldn't be the big one. People who come to Africa to see lions usually go to East African countries like Kenya. How can they come to West Africa? ..."

Song Wenbin felt a little disappointed.

"That's it..."

"You know so much."

Huo Yu curiously asked Sutina: "What did you do before you came here?"

"Me? I'm just an ordinary college student. I usually read some books. That's all." Sutina said.

"College Students?"

Song Wenbin was shocked, "You haven't graduated yet??"

"Yes."

Su Tina's face was slightly red and she held the walkie-talkie and said: "Because I major in history, I usually have a lot of free time. My parents are temporarily unemployed, so I want to take advantage of the vacation to see if... I can find a job."

Song Wenbin's mouth opened wide and didn't close for a long time.

"Then how did you pass the review by the program team?"

Huo Yu said in shock.

Sutina immediately became interested, "Yeah!! It sounds strange, I don't understand it either. I heard from my roommate that Seal was looking for a girl with white hair. The salary is very good. It just so happens that my hair is white. In fact, she is not. All white, with gray roots. But I went anyway. After we went, the interviewer asked us a lot of questions, and I answered them all correctly, so they let me join the show crew... In other words, I really didn’t expect to come to a place like Africa. At first I thought it was a show like The Biggest Brain..."

"Did you answer all the questions they asked you correctly?"

Song Wenbin asked suddenly and abruptly.

"There are many, such as the rotation period of Mars, the average thickness of the Antarctic ice cap, the depth of the Mariana Trench, the length of the East African Rift Valley, the second cosmic speed, the number of microorganisms in the human body, common antidiarrheal drugs, and animals that eat wasps , the origin of blue and white porcelain, the number of cylinders in the V6 engine, the top speed of the Le Mans race..."

Speaking with her fingers, Sutina suddenly frowned and complained: "Actually, I don't want to answer these questions, because although there are standard answers to these questions in the book, I feel that these answers are not necessarily accurate, but I said them It’s like I believe it, and I don’t think this is good.”

Song Wenbin fell silent after listening.

Huo Yu also fell silent.

Sutina was very surprised when she saw this: "Didn't they ask you similar questions?"

"No, I am illiterate." Song Wenbin said immediately.

"ah..."

Sutina was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "What about you, Huo Yu, what did you do before?"

"I..."

Huo Yu hasn't spoken yet.

Suddenly, there was a muffled crunching sound.

Then there was the sound of wheels spinning, and Huo Yu complained desperately on the intercom: "Holy crap! It's all your fault, why are you asking! I fell into a ditch."

...

...

When the three of them gathered next to Huo Yu's car, Song Wenbin saw that her MG had sunk into a sunken pit next to it because of its relatively low chassis. They had seen many such pits along the way. . But there was a bulge in front of the pit. When Huo Yu passed the pit, he stepped on the accelerator harder, and it directly pushed against the front wheels to lift the car. At this moment, both MG's front wheels were idling in the air.

"My dear, this car is tailor-made for Africa."

Song Wenbin walked around Mingjue and exclaimed.

Embarrassed by Song Wenbin, Huo Yu said angrily: "Look at you like that, can you not add insult to injury and drag my car out quickly!"

"My car doesn't like girls."

Song Wenbin said yin and yang: "Besides, the horse power is very small, and it can't drag a car as heavy as yours."

"I'm not talking to you!"

Huo Yu covered his ears and said, "Sutina, go find the traction rope and drag me."

"Sutina searched around the car." She said, "I don't have a traction rope."

Huo Yuren was dumbfounded.

"Hahaha."

Song Wenbin laughed at the side and looked at Huo Yu with regret.

Huo Yu gritted his teeth and ran to the side to ask the program team to borrow it. I went there for a while and then came back empty-handed.

Song Wenbin smiled even happier on the side.

"I'm going to die!"

Huo Yu cursed the program team: "I was given 50,000 yuan to travel to Africa without borrowing any tools. No normal person could come up with such an idea."

Sutina looked at the suspended MG in embarrassment, unable to do anything.

Huo Yu got into the car and stepped on the accelerator angrily. However, this car is a front-wheel drive vehicle, and hanging the front wheels in the air means losing power. No matter how hard Huo Yu pedals, it will not help.

"ah!!!"

Angry, Huo Yu slammed the door and got out of the car again, and she started pushing the car behind.

But how could human strength push the car? Even though she was sweating profusely while pushing, MG remained motionless. Sutina also tried to push the car, but neither of them could push it.

At this time, they saw Song Wenbin holding his arms and laughing. Sutina was also anxious and stamped her feet: "Stop looking, come and help push!"

Huo Yu said: "Don't count on him. He is compatible and there is no way he can help us."

Song Wenbin stopped laughing and said disgustedly: "It's not that I don't help, I really think you are so stunned sometimes."

Huo Yu was already very angry, but when he saw Song Wenbin not helping but still making sarcastic remarks, he couldn't help but get even more angry: "If you don't help, just leave first, so as not to be an eyesore!"

Song Wenbin left, and he boarded his Wuling Hongguang.

Su Tina and Huo Yu had nothing to say, but Song Wenbin suddenly honked the horn. He drove straight towards Huo Yu's car. Huo Yu and Su Tina quickly got out of the way. Huo Yu was even more shocked, "What are you doing!?"

Boom! !

Song Wenbin directly pushed Wuling Hongguang onto MG's ass.

Then press the accelerator in low gear.

Wuling Hongguang tires rotate like crazy.

Soon, MG was pushed out of the pit and returned to the ground.

Song Wenbin backed up Wuling Hongguang, drove in front of the dumbfounded Su Tina and Huo Yu, pressed down the car window and said to Huo Yu, "Tell me, are you stunned?"

Huo Yu bit his lower lip, his face turning red and white. Su Tina was also scratching her head beside her, and murmured: "It's so simple...Why didn't I think of it..."

Song Wenbin didn't bother to talk nonsense to them and drove forward. There is no other road here, and Sutina does not need to navigate. Behind him, Su Tina and Huo Yu didn't talk on the walkie-talkie for a while.

However, the road conditions here did not allow them to be calm for a long time. Soon, Huo Yu, whose chassis was too low, got stuck in a ditch again. This time, Song Wenbin did not need to remind her. Su Tina drove the H6 and took the initiative to go forward and get back down several times. , the butt of Huo Yu's car was almost dented.

Song Wenbin thought that the value of this guy's car would be greatly reduced after such a tossing, and he would definitely not be able to get a good price when the second-hand car was traded. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, as if he had already seen the reward of 100,000 yuan waving to him.

Just as he was thinking about it, Huo Yu's worried voice came from the intercom: "Susu, haven't we arrived yet?"

"We should be arriving soon." Sutina said uneasily: "I see on the navigation there seems to be a small town nearby."

Song Wenbin looked at the sky in the distance, between the dense palm trees and shrubs, and the sunset was about to set. If they don't reach the city before dark, it means they have to repeat last night's experience again, and this time it may be more dangerous, because there are no other cars passing by where they are.

"We have to hurry up."

Huo Yu said.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, a series of earth slopes suddenly appeared on the ground in front of him, up and down. Huo Yu was ready to scold his mother. Coming to such a slope at this time would make things even worse for them who were already short of fuel.

After driving on the slope for about twenty minutes, Huo Yu's MG stopped. The vehicle stood still for a moment, and the African air, which was nearly 40 degrees Celsius, poured into the car. The torture of the journey made Huo Yu lie motionless on the steering wheel.

Seeing Huo Yu stop the car, Su Tina couldn't help but drive the car aside, opened the car window and asked worriedly: "What's wrong?"

"My car is out of gas."

Huo Yu said weakly.
