Chapter 980 979. New Friends (35)
The lion hunter returned to the yacht with regret, and said angrily: "I thought I was going to change my name to the shark hunter. It seems that this opportunity has to be postponed."
Li Du spread his hands and said, "Or, you can go back and get the cage protective gear now. I don't think these sharks will leave for a while. Even if they leave, new sharks will come."
The lion hunter laughed loudly, waved his hands and said, "Forget it, Li, I want you to have fun here. Go on diving, I want to continue enjoying the sun."
As he said that, he also invited Li Du to lie down together: "Aren't you going to take a sunbath? Hey, buddy, the sky is going to heat up soon, and the sun will burn you to death at that time, and there are not many chances."
Li Du smiled and said, "Let's do it later, maybe I want to enjoy it later."
They played in the water for a while, drifted out to sea for lunch, and in the afternoon, the yacht sailed out, and the lion hunter took them to a new snorkeling spot.
He warned: "This time you go into the water, you have to be careful and wear a shark-proof sachet on your body. If a shark appears, hide or run for your life."
The anti-shark sachet is a small bag that the diver hangs on his waist or on his back. It constantly releases some chemical substances to drive away sharks and prevent them from approaching.
This time, Li Du and the others are going to dive deep.
The name of Nemo Sea Area comes from a ship. In 1884, the British cruise ship Nemo was buried here. However, because of the inconvenience of information transmission at sea at that time, no one knew how and where it sank.
A year later, the Norwegian freighter Nemo Tara was also buried here. When people searched and rescued the Nemo Tara, they discovered the Nemo not far away.
Because the names of the two ships contain "Nemo", the sea area has the title of "Nemo Killer". At first it was called Nemo Killer Sea Area, and then gradually changed its name to Nemo Sea Area.
There are many sea mounds below this sea area. Once the tide ebbs and the water level drops, the ship will be stranded or even sunk. Both Nemos suffered from this.
Li Du and the others are going to take a deep dive to visit these two ships. Their wrecks are buried at the bottom of the ocean, attracting many rocky fish and a large number of seashells to live in them, forming a seabed landscape.
The lion hunters arranged for professional deep divers to be responsible for their safety, so there was nothing to say about the deep dive process, and they arrived near the two sunken ships without any accidents.
The sunken ships have been lying underwater for more than a century, and they are already rotten. They are like the corpses of two giant beasts, which have been lying underwater for many years, corroded by flowing water, and allowed to wander.
For safety, the sunken ships are not allowed to be touched, and the bow of one ship is cracked, a huge crack has appeared, and the deck is tilted, and it looks like it will disintegrate soon.
Looking at the rusty ship that could hardly be seen from its original appearance, Li Du heaved a sigh of relief, this is the power of time!
After staying at the seaside for another two days, the hospitality of the lion hunters became more and more enthusiastic. Li Du and his party ate and drank a lot, with seafood and wine constantly.
Although he has a sense of oppression in his heart looking for diamond mines, but the days are so beautiful that he cannot help being reluctant to leave.
In September, Li Du was about to say goodbye, and he had to go around to look for diamond mines.
Knowing that he wanted to leave, the lion hunter made a request: "Li, I have an unkind request, I wonder if I can tell you."
Li Du nodded: "I respect you, buddy, so you can do whatever you want."
He kicked the ball back. Since he came to South Africa, the lion hunters have treated him so warmly. If things go wrong, there must be demons. The unfeeling invitation of the lion hunters may not be simple.
So, he kicked the ball back, if the lion hunter was too embarrassed to say so.
He underestimated the face of the lion hunter, and the lion hunter grinned and said: "It's like this, I have a friend who heard about you, he wants to get to know you, and wants to be friends with you, so I want to get your permission. You make referrals."
Li Du suddenly realized, no wonder this guy is so enthusiastic about him, it turned out that he also wanted something from himself.
He just met a friend, he thought it didn’t matter, and said: “What kind of friend? What kind of unkind invitation is this? We Chinese have a slang saying that many friends have multiple paths. I am very happy to meet your friends. "
Soon, he regretted that he had spoken too simply.
After hearing his words, the lion hunter was overjoyed and said: "Great, I will inform my friend right away, and then we will go there as soon as possible, he must have been impatient to get to know you."
"where is he?"
"Mo Sanbige." When he said the name of the country, the lion hunter had a treacherous smile on his face.
Mozambique? Li Du's heart skipped a beat, he felt that the matter might not be so simple.
This country is a neighbor of South Africa. Like South Africa, it is located on the east coast of the African continent and borders the Indian Ocean. It is in the north of South Africa and borders both sides.
Compared with South Africa, its political situation is not so stable. Until the 1990s, there were United Nations peacekeeping troops stationed in Mozambige. At that time, although it was said that their regime was unified, the country was actually not peaceful.
Historically, Mozambique was a Portuguese colony, and the local indigenous people were very kind and had always resisted Portuguese rule.
Especially after the Second World War, the people of Mozambige became more and more awakened. In 1948, Mozambige went on strike in the capital, and in 1956, the dock workers held a general strike. In the 1960s, Mozambique's nationalist movement rose and clearly put forward the slogan of demanding independence.
In 1960, the Mozambique National Democratic Alliance was established in Salisbury, Southern Rhodesia; the following year, the Mozambige African National Union was established in Kenya; and the Independent Mozambige African Union was established in Nyasaland.
All three parties mentioned above have armed forces and merged into the Mozambique Liberation Front in Dar es Salaam in June 1962.
Later, Mozabi launched a guerrilla war for the leadership of the Liberation Front. After 10 years of heroic fighting, they later won back national sovereignty while Portugal was in turmoil.
However, these people are good at fighting, but not very good at governing the country.
Until now, Mozambique still has many regional armed forces. However, these armed forces were nominally incorporated by the government and declared to be armed by the chiefs of the indigenous tribes.
Li Du is now studying African materials when he has nothing to do, so he is clear that these armed forces are local warlords, and the government has little control over them.
He hoped that the so-called friends the lion hunters spoke of had nothing to do with the local warlords. These people were not good birds. In their eyes, human life was no different from animals, and they were exercising high-handed rule in their jurisdictions and tribes.
Unfortunately, the lion hunter's friend's name disappointed him: "My friend's name is General Lei Moning. He is a very generous and generous guy, and he also likes to make friends!"
In this way, the helicopter still opened the way. Li Du left Durban, and after passing the South African border inspection, the helicopter took off again, and the next stop was Mozambique. It is not clear what the lion hunter said vaguely.
