Otherwise, we would have to take a traditional propeller plane, and the bumping alone would make you feel like you were on a roller coaster.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henry looked at Brian Mills, the head of the security team, speechless, and said, \"Do you think I'm a child who screams with excitement just because I got on a plane?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What I find incredible is that the UNICEF personnel are actually like puppets on a string for the current President of Somalia, Mohamed Siad Barre.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They said the itinerary couldn't be changed, and it really wasn't changed; they just went over obediently. They even brought along a platoon of peacekeeping troops. If you ask me, the symbolic significance of doing this far outweighs their actual combat capability.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm certainly not saying that the peacekeeping personnel are all trash. It's just that there are too few of them, and if they really encounter any trouble, they won't be of much use. At most, they can protect the UN personnel while they flee.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And that president seems to hope that we can descend like divine soldiers to sweep away the unrest across Somalia for him. He might as well hold up a Quran and go around preaching.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sentence Henry didn't say was: Perhaps the reason Somalia is so chaotic is precisely because this team visiting the children's facilities has become the biggest troublemaker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were eight people on the plane in total. Ms. Audrey Hepburn, Henry the little assistant, the four members of the security team he had met at the insurance brokerage firm, and one female flight attendant. The captain was in the cockpit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was precisely because the personnel were so streamlined that Brian chartered a small jet. The cost was covered by the UN. Rental cars had already been arranged at the destination airport, and local officials and guides were waiting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a while, Henry asked again, \"I just can't figure out, who decided on the place we're going to?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching this young man play the role of a timid and cowardly character, Audrey almost believed he was truly that afraid, if she didn't know that this young man was naturally bulletproof.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Audrey didn't expose him, but patiently explained, \"It was a decision made by everyone together. Because everyone thinks that the southern part of Somalia, where we are going, is the furthest away from the unrest in the north.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kind of nonsensical reason almost made Henry laugh in anger. But upon second thought, he felt it wasn't strange at all that those with decision-making power would make such a choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strictly speaking, it was because this world had not yet been baptized by the \"Arab Spring.\" They simply believed that as long as the source of chaos was contained and not allowed to grow, then things could be resolved. And that American soldiers were invincible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The problem was that when the entire Somali society was permeated with the same atmosphere, unrest in one location could very likely trigger a chain reaction, causing the same chaos to erupt everywhere else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the condition of being \"furthest away from the location of the unrest\" was not a guarantee of safety. But no one realized this, and some were even too obtuse to believe it, simply trusting that American soldiers were truly invincible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henry's role had no decision-making power, not even the right to offer suggestions. He could only privately admonish Ms. Audrey Hepburn, or otherwise just mutter a few words under his breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as long as the lady did not agree, and in the absence of other evidence, Henry, as an employee, could of course only act according to the employer's wishes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the plane's altitude began to drop. Passing through a patch of white clouds, the scenery outside the window turned back into the African grasslands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This place belonged to the extension of the Kenyan savanna, so looking down from the plane, one could see large groups of wild animals living on the land. Henry's super vision allowed him to tell that this was a herd of zebras.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn't help but sigh, \"Can there be our destination in a place like this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brian explained, \"Our target is a small settlement about a half-day's drive from the airport. There is a child protection agency supported by UNICEF here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Bernie added, \"Nominally, it's to take care of the local helpless children nearby, but in fact, how the funds are used, no one knows what kind of shady business is going on inside.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The content was a bit cynical, so he received an eye-roll from Brian. Ms. Hepburn didn't really like hearing such remarks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Old Bernie said again, \"However, this child protection agency is actually quite decent, which is why it was put on the scheduled list for the visit and eventually became an alternative location.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as everyone was chatting, the small jet landed smoothly. The Italian veteran captain demonstrated excellent flight operation skills, bringing no discomfort to the passengers during the process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because it was a small airport, although there were management personnel, it was open on all sides. From time to time, one could see animals crossing the airport runway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tarmac was right in front of the hangar, and the pilot needed to move the plane there himself. After communicating with the tower personnel, the Italian captain parked the plane in the designated spot. And two unattended Range Rovers were already parked to the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brian and the other three were the first to get off the plane, forming a semicircle in front of the cabin door, guarding the surrounding situation. Henry followed immediately, but did not move far away, instead supporting Ms. Hepburn who was getting off the plane behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henry saw the Range Rovers nearby and asked, \"Is this our means of transportation?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sam and Mark went up to check one car each, while Brian said, \"I investigated a little beforehand; the place we are going to lacks even the kind of barely qualified roads we had before, and most of it has to be traveled on the grasslands.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Driving in a place like this, an off-road vehicle would be the best choice. But the comfort is like being chewed on by a dog; there's no way to be picky. If you want to combine comfort, these are the SUVs.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sport Utility Vehicle, abbreviated as SUV. The Jeep Cherokee and Range Rover can be considered the ancestors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And on this land of Africa, expecting to find the latest SUVs like the Ford Explorer was purely asking for the impossible. That Brian could get two Range Rovers was already a sign of his extraordinary abilities; one couldn't ask for more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henry guessed that this might be the resources of the CIA behind the scenes. However, this was taking advantage of others, so of course, there was no need to point it out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brian also asked Audrey, \"Ma'am, you will have to endure riding in this car for the next two days.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It won't be an endurance. I have also ridden in off-road vehicles, and compared to off-road vehicles, the Range Rover is much more amiable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1271,"2026-06-18T01:36:48.144Z","2026-06-18T03:18:02.290Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","e52dbf42dfe2ef8724d78345cea68315b8158a8472d28080567ab5375957c07b","the-kryptonian-slacker-in-marvel-chapter-51","the-kryptonian-slacker-in-marvel-chapter-49",253,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmarvel-s-salted-fish-kryptonian-cover.jpg"]
