87: Chapter 87 Planting Trees in Africa
What!?
Lin Heng is gone!?
Everyone was shocked.
They were confused for a moment, then quickly remembered the possible reason for Lin Heng's disappearance.
And then...
They subconsciously recalled that Zhao Heng had also disappeared briefly during some festival before.
That time, the other party had directly made many compounds in Northern Myanmar observe the Qingming Festival.
This Labor Day is...
The person didn't dare to think about it.
...
On the other side.
The entire Dragon Capital Police Department was in a bit of a panic.
Director Zhou Ze's expression was extremely grim.
"Didn't I tell you to watch Lin Heng! What the hell are you people doing for a living!"
Zhou Ze launched into a furious tirade against Captain Li Qing and Old Luo.
However, the two could only offer bitter smiles.
Who could have imagined that Lin Heng would suddenly disappear on Labor Day?
Li Qing and the others had long learned their lesson from the Qingming Festival, so as Labor Day approached, they immediately increased police presence specifically to prevent Lin Heng from leaving Dragon Country.
However, no one expected that Lin Heng would completely disregard these measures, and at the very beginning, he seemed not to have taken them seriously at all, disappearing in an utterly preposterous manner.
They had no idea how Lin Heng managed to leave.
It was only after Lin Heng hadn't emerged from the room for a long time that they realized the guy had left.
"We two are also innocent! Who knew that fellow Lin Heng was so capable? We really didn't see anything..."
"That's right! Back then, over forty police officers surrounded the eight cardinal directions of the Courtyard House, watching closely. We were just short of rushing into Lin Heng's house."
"But who could have thought that under such circumstances, where not even a fly could get out, this guy Lin Heng managed to escape..."
"We only found out Lin Heng was missing the next day."
"..."
Old Luo and Captain Li Qing both wore extremely bitter expressions.
They knew Lin Heng was formidable, but they never expected him to be this incredibly powerful!
They truly didn't know what method Lin Heng used to slip away, as none of their police officers had been shirking their duties.
They were all diligently watching from their assigned posts.
Even if that weren't the case, every single one of them was wearing a body camera that recorded the entire process.
The body cameras had already been taken for inspection.
Yet, even now, they hadn't discovered anything from the recordings; they hadn't even found a shadow of Lin Heng.
Zhou Ze also let out a wry chuckle.
There was nothing they could do.
After all, they weren't completely helpless people now.
If Lin Heng wanted to leave Dragon Country, these people couldn't even track his movements through any means of transportation.
So, they could only grit their teeth and accept it.
"Ahem... Well, just report this matter truthfully and see what the higher-ups think. I see the Longan Bureau and the Military Region people seem quite anxious about Lin Heng. It's not our problem anyway."
Soon, Zhou Ze coughed lightly and quickly made the final judgment.
...
Meanwhile.
What others didn't know was.
In a certain tribe in Africa.
Lin Heng and General Saka shared a hug, then quickly began conversing.
"Hahahaha, Military Lord, you've finally arrived!"
"You have no idea how much I missed you!"
In front of others, this head of an African Warlord clan, who acted like a big shot, became like a clingy little wife in front of Lin Heng.
Lin Heng quickly waved his hand upon hearing this.
"My apologies, you know I'm not into that sort of thing."
"Oh, wait, you don't know how much your twelve wives miss you. Don't worry, they are either great beauties skilled in many techniques, or they are young girls who have just come of age. I'm sure you'll like them."
Who knew that the dark-skinned Saka wouldn't let it go?
Lin Heng's mouth twitched upon hearing this.
Good heavens...
There really is nothing left to say, is there?
"It seems Africa is quite safe. This trip of mine doesn't seem to hold much value."
Lin Heng spoke casually.
After speaking, Lin Heng looked like he was about to leave.
Saka quickly stepped forward and grabbed Lin Heng's arm.
"Military Advisor, Military Advisor!"
Saka wore a fawning smile.
"Military Advisor, I was just joking. We still need your help going forward."
"Ahem!"
Lin Heng coughed lightly.
"My time is very precious. I'll give you three days."
"I know, I know... Well, the money has already been transferred to your account. Next, please ensure you promptly provide us with the munitions... ah, I mean, gas canisters!"
Saka chuckled slyly.
"I know you're in a hurry."
"I've already arranged for people to dock at the pier. Call your men and be quick about it."
Lin Heng waved his hand casually.
"Hahahaha...! Good, good, good, Military Advisor. My men might lack many skills, but they definitely have strength, don't worry."
"We guarantee that we will move all that shipment before the US military arrives."
"That's not a problem... The problem is that our tribe no longer has enough food. We used to import it from you. I wonder if the Military Advisor brought any for us this time?"
Saka chuckled slyly, scratching the back of his head with a simple and honest look.
If people hadn't seen him charging fearlessly on the battlefield, others probably wouldn't believe he was a major Warlord who had killed countless people.
"Food? That stuff is practically nonexistent here!"
"I'll teach you wheat cultivation techniques! It's definitely more useful than that... Oh, and the air here stinks!"
"Did you listen to the advice I gave you before!?"
As soon as he said this, Saka quickly recalled.
Previously, Lin Heng had told him to plant trees to fix the sandy soil, which would naturally stabilize their water sources, and everything after that would fall into place.
"Of course, of course!"
"The desert trees you arranged for us are very effective. Some land has already turned from sand to soil. I estimate that soon we'll be able to plant things on it..."
Saka licked his dry lips and chuckled slyly.
If one asked why they were poor, the only answer was that their productivity was too backward, so much so that even dogs would shake their heads at it.
This was also why, despite the many developing nations in the Third World, they all looked down on Africa?
After all, apart from Africa's mineral resources, they probably didn't have much else worthwhile.
Who would try to develop in a desert?
With that time, they might as well take a trip to Myanmar or Laos...
Thinking of this, Saka's heart stirred. He licked his dry lips, then quickly inquired:
"I wonder about that wheat you mentioned, Military Advisor..."
"Why so much nonsense? I told you to focus on planting first, so just focus on planting trees. In this desert environment of yours, what do you think can take root and sprout?"
"The little moisture in the seeds won't even be enough for the sand to absorb."
