After the instructions,

He Liang led his team into the dormitory building.

As they entered,

"Deputy Manager He, you’re back,"

a cheerful voice called out from the side.

The voice came from a Chinese man in his fifties, lean and with skin tanned dark by the sun, who immediately stood up when he saw He Liang. Here, titles were straightforward—Deputy Manager meant Deputy Manager.

It had taken him several corrections to get used to it.

"Uncle Qi, I’m back," He Liang replied with a polite smile.

The others also quickly greeted Uncle Qi, making him grin from ear to ear. It wasn’t easy for him to find a job at his age, especially such an easy one.

He had come here to do business in his early years and later brought his children over. Now, his children had their own store here and both his wife and children insisted he rest and not help out at the store. But he couldn’t sit still.

When he saw that a Chinese security company was hiring a gatekeeper,

he hesitated for a moment before deciding to check it out.

After all, a gatekeeper’s job could be dangerous, but it turned out not to be the type that just watched the gate. Instead, it was for a dormitory building, responsible for registration, cleaning, and distributing living supplies to newcomers.

It wasn’t idle work,

but it also wasn’t exhausting.

One thousand five hundred RMB per month was considered a high salary for him. He knew these people had once served domestically, and he felt a kinship with them, as if they were his own children.

His family was initially against it,

but after learning about the work environment and job content, they eased their concerns.

This city, this villa area, was considered very safe, much safer than where they lived, so they agreed with him working here. He also had one day off per week to go home, with meals and accommodation provided, and the benefits were not bad.

The old man was very satisfied.

Cool air greeted them face on,

dispelling the intense heat that had risen upon getting off the vehicle. The humid climate in Africa meant that summers could be as hot as the southern parts of Huaxia; the heat waves were unavoidable.

Once the fan stopped, it was like being in a sauna.

"Boss, are they generating their own electricity here?"

an observant team member curiously asked, hearing the distant buzzing noise. It was clearly not a refrigeration unit but a generator.

He Liang nodded, "The power supply here is very unstable; outages are common. In ordinary areas, they can only guarantee three hours of electricity a day, while the affluent districts have eight hours. But even that’s not enough, so the company has equipped us with generators.

They run 24 hours a day. Look at the roof—that’s all solar panels. All the lighting and surveillance in the buildings are powered by solar energy, which can guarantee electricity around the clock.

Other high-powered electrical equipment is powered by generators."

The team members understood.

The environment here

was indeed very good.

They had thought having an electric fan would be enough, but they didn’t expect every room to have air conditioning. With four people to a room, including a toilet and shower, the conditions were even better than at domestic headquarters, far exceeding their expectations.

They also noted that both the doorway and windows of the rooms had a layer of fine mesh screens, which they heard were for mosquito prevention. Malaria was rampant here, and it was the most significant cause of death.

As they walked,

He Liang emphasized,

"Remember, you must do a good job with mosquito prevention. Although we have medication, the main treatment for malaria is based on artemisinin, which is essentially an insecticide. Prolonged use can lead to renal failure.

The average lifespan here is around forty-three years, and the main cause of death is renal failure. It’s not certain that there’s a direct connection with prolonged use of malaria medication, but there definitely is a link.

However, rest assured, short-term use of these drugs is harmless and won’t cause significant damage to the kidneys. As long as you take the right precautions, you won’t have any problems. Mesh screens, electric mosquito devices, mosquito repellent— the company will provide all of these."

Besides conflict, the biggest enemy here is—mosquitoes.

In domestic areas, mosquito prevention work is relatively well done. Disease control centers in every province, city, and county bear this responsibility to prevent large-scale epidemics. They take immediate action at the first sign of an outbreak.

Speaking of this,

He Liang shivered all over.

He remembered the mining field they had visited before.

The mosquitoes in the surrounding forest were so numerous they made one’s scalp tingle, simply terrifying.

Fortunately, the mosquito repellent provided by the company was extremely effective; a single spray on the body, and for several hours, it was as if one had an invisible ’mosquito-proof’ barrier. He Liang had never seen such repellent before, having heard it was still an experimental product with a very high cost.

Very soon.

He Liang had arranged their accommodation and they had received their living supplies.

Though it was still early in the day.

The training work did not wait until tomorrow, but began immediately.

In the following days.

The team members studied at the base.

Basic French, phrases like ’Stand still,’ ’Don’t move,’ ’Walk quickly,’ ’Raise your hands,’ and the like.

They learned about local customs to avoid giving offence.

They also studied various company policies and details of subsidies from Sky Eye, which came in dozens of pages, thoroughly comprehensive, leaving nothing unsaid, but the dense text made their heads spin.

Day four.

Morning.

Training ended.

After enjoying a delicious lunch.

He Liang led them on their journey.

They arrived at the airport.

"Gurgle... Captain, are you sure this thing belongs to the company too?" Looking at the mid-sized Boeing aircraft in front of them, He Liang’s former team member, Chu Sheng, swallowed his saliva and spoke with wide-eyed astonishment.

The other members weren’t faring much better.

They were astounded.

This company, having transformed into a local tyrant, might be one thing, but did it have to be so extravagantly wealthy? This was an airplane, not a car that ran on the ground. It looked quite new, how much did it cost?

He Liang could only shake his head helplessly.

"I wish I didn’t have to admit it, but it’s true. I only received the notice from Headquarters yesterday that this plane is for our brothers in Africa to use, mainly for transporting various materials, in addition to people."

He had been stunned when he heard the news yesterday.

Since when had the company been so wealthy?

Only after the General Manager explained did they learn that their boss had made a fortune in the movie business, and had invested heavily in mineral deposits in Africa. For convenience, they had bought a Boeing aircraft, which was also registered under the Security Company’s name.

It would be used jointly by the Security Company and Wan Qing Mining.

And also by business partners.

The mineral deposits they were headed to were said to belong to their boss, and their task was to protect the assets of boss Tang Qing. They were accompanied by some employees of Wan Qing Mining, all of whom were scheduled for today, filling an entire airplane.

After all, once a plane was in the air, it was burning money.

What they didn’t know was that, apart from convenience, Tang Qing simply did not trust the safety of the planes in that region. One should know that while Africa’s airplanes account for less than one tenth of the global total, they are involved in ninety percent of air disaster accidents.

To put it more starkly.

They were only slightly better than iron coffins. International flights were somewhat better, but domestic flights mostly used aircraft retired by other countries, many of which had surpassed their decommissioning standards, yet were widely adopted here.

For the safety of his subordinates.

Tang Qing decided to purchase an airplane.

Then, he let the Scientists thoroughly modify it, doing their best to ensure the safety of his men. Except for the exterior, the equipment inside the airplane was basically all new, the materials used were of high quality, and some ’safety black tech’ had even been installed.

Unless it was shot down, it would definitely be among the safest airplanes.
