Black State, Tanzania.
A group of men in neat black suits walked out of Arusha Airport, attracting countless people to stop and retreat in fear.
The reason for this is not only because these people are dressed solemnly, but also because of the leading few people gathered in the center.
The leader in the middle is a young man with an Asian face. The locals are somewhat face-blind, so it is difficult to tell whether he is good-looking or not, but his height of 1.9 meters and strong muscles make him stand out even in Heizhou.
If that were all, it would be fine, but the people following the leading young man on both sides were even more terrifying.
To the left and right of the young man were two terrifying giants who were at least two meters and five centimeters tall. Their muscles were so knotty that they made the specially made oversized suits bulge out. The oppressive force of their every move was simply terrifying.
In fact, there are more than two giants like this in this team. There is also one at the end of the team, who is always looking around and on guard.
Even the rest of the team looked well-trained, and their obviously heavily guarded posture revealed that this team was not simple and not easy to mess with.
"Oh my god, what was that just now, a giant from mythology?"
"I feel like he could kill a cow with one punch."
In the dead silence that seemed to stop breathing, everyone in the airport watched as the group of people boarded the convoy that had been waiting outside the airport. It was not until the last car completely disappeared from sight that the airport finally regained some of its hustle and bustle.
Well, actually there wasn’t much to be excited about.
Black State is a well-known poor place. In Arusha, a shabby place, you can see lions and elephants baring their teeth just outside the city. The airport is just an empty lot and broken sheds. It would be strange if it could be lively.
As we left the airport by car, the surroundings were visibly dilapidated.
No, it is more appropriate to use "vast area and sparse population".
The surrounding buildings are really shabby, a combination of old country houses and temporary buildings on construction sites. But they are also luxurious, with luxuriously decorated and vast villas and courtyards everywhere.
All I can say is that there is no shortage of rich people everywhere, and this is a place where the gap between the rich and the poor is extremely large.
"Boss, this place is full of drunkards, thieves, and gangsters. When you travel, try to bring two people with you. It can save you a lot of trouble."
At the front of the convoy, Xia Xu was sitting alone in the back seat, and the driver was the director of Xinghai Security's African branch, named Li Zhe.
While driving, Li Zhe was also looking for topics to talk about.
After all, in front of the leader, one instinctively feels that the atmosphere in the car should not be too quiet.
“Is it so chaotic here?”
Xia Xu leaned his elbows against the car window, quietly looking out the window at the scenery along the way that could not be called scenery, and responded casually.
“Yes, especially for us foreigners.”
Li Zhe nodded slightly and saw Xia Xu slow down the car a lot after looking outside the car.
So, it didn't take long for Xia Xu to be "lucky" enough to see the moment when Li Zhe's words were confirmed.
At this time, the car happened to pass by a small street supermarket.
Well, it should not be considered small for the local area. Excluding those large supermarkets that are specially prepared for rich people and foreigners, this should be a relatively large shopping place.
Just as the car was passing by, a man and a woman, two Asian people who were obviously tourists, came out dragging suitcases and carrying several shopping bags.
Immediately afterwards, two black men who were squatting idly on the side of the road stood up and followed the two men, and reached their hands into their shirt pockets silently.
The Asian-looking man was alert, probably because he was used to being in a foreign country, so he quickly noticed the two men's actions.
However, after being exposed, the thief did not flee, but instead robbed the victim.
After all, for foreign tourists, this place is unfamiliar and there is no way out.
"Stop for a moment."
Seeing this scene, Xia Xu raised his hand to stop the car, and the entire convoy also stopped.
"boss?"
Li Zhe also looked at the scene outside the car, then turned back to look at Xia Xu.
"Um."
Xia Xu nodded slightly.
If it was a conflict among the locals, he wouldn't bother to care, but after all, the man and woman looked Asian, maybe they were Chinese, and since he saw them, he didn't mind helping them.
Li Zhe immediately understood and unbuckled his seat belt, got out of the car and walked towards the man and woman and the two black people who were transferred on the spot.
Being able to sit in the position of supervisor in the Black State branch, Li Zhe's subordinates must be quite powerful. He walked over and without any nonsense, he punched each of them in the stomach, causing the two men to flex their stomachs like lobsters.
"Thank you, thank you! Really, thank you very much!"
"Thank you so much, brother. If it weren't for you, we really wouldn't know what to do."
The men and women who were rescued were also filled with gratitude and kept expressing their gratitude excitedly. At this moment, their hands could not help but tremble a little.
Of course, they spoke the Xia language, so it was obvious that they were indeed travelers from Xia.
"If you want to thank someone, thank our boss. I was just following orders."
Li Zhe looked like a cool bodyguard, and pointed calmly at the car he had gotten out of.
"Okay, thank you..."
The two hurriedly walked to the rear window of the car to thank him, but halfway through their words, they saw Xia Xu's face through the window and immediately turned to surprise: "Mechanic? Ah, no, Mr. Xia?"
"Do you know me?"
Xia Xu, who originally didn't plan to have much interaction with others, had to lower the car window when he was recognized. After all, it would seem a bit inhumane if he ignored the person.
"Yes, of course I know you. Nowadays, apart from the elderly in Xia Country, there is no one who doesn't know you. You are my idol! By the way, why did you come to Heizhou?"
The young man seemed very excited.
After surviving a disaster through twists and turns, he met an old friend in a foreign land, a nationally renowned figure who was even regarded as an idol by himself. It is understandable that he would behave like this.
"Come to do something, I have a branch here."
Xia Xu didn't know how to deal with this fanatical fan situation and could only smile politely.
"Boss Xia, can we take a photo with you?"
The girl next to him was not as excited as the boy, but she was also very excited and raised her phone to request.
"Can."
Xia Xu nodded.
His identity was already known to everyone, and he had no intention of hiding his whereabouts on this trip, so taking some photos was not a big deal.
However, he soon noticed that the photo the two men were referring to seemed to be a video.
“Are you guys filming a video?”
Xia Xu arrived unexpectedly.
"Yes, we have updated the travel vlog on your video website. Hehe, it's great material to catch the boss of the group during the trip."
The girl was smiling. She wasn't stunningly good-looking, but she was lively and cute.
"Yes, yes, Mr. Xia, the setting of the 'bullet screen' on your video website is simply amazing, and there are no advertisements. I feel that you will become the leading video website sooner or later."
The boys quickly agreed.
“Then I wish you can become a big internet celebrity too.”
Xia Xu smiled slightly.
What these two people were talking about was the video website opened by Xinghai Network, which is probably similar to Station AB on Earth.
Although the barrage setting has become popular on video and live broadcast platforms in later generations, in fact, in the early days, this mechanism only existed on a certain website in an island country and the AB website created in China. It was not widely spread and had not yet originated on the Aquamarine Star.
However, facts have proved the success of this model, which is very effective in enhancing user cohesion and activity, so Xia Xu naturally doesn't mind moving it.
This was only a small item in the original plan given to Hongbo, but because it was relatively easy to implement, it was carried out very quickly. In addition, it complemented the live broadcast platform and now has become quite popular.
"Hehe, originally we didn't expect to become big internet celebrities, but this time maybe we really have a chance."
"Traveling in Black State, she was robbed, but she was saved by a mechanic. How about this headline? Isn't it exciting enough?"
"What about me?"
"You are incidental and not worth mentioning."
