At the speed of A119, twenty minutes is enough for the helicopter to fly nearly one hundred kilometers.
From Mount Hagen westward, the terrain becomes increasingly higher, so it didn't take long to fly before we entered the continuous mountains. These mountains were basically over 3,000 meters high. The upper part was covered with lush coniferous forests, but below the mountainside was an even more lush broad-leaved forest.
However, after flying here, the weather began to change. When we set out, the sun was still shining brightly in Mount Hagen, but when we got here, it had already started to rain.
"Old Yang, we can't see anything if we fly like this! I've been here by helicopter before, what a waste of fuel." Guo Xiang, who was sitting next to Yang Jing, muttered. He had stayed in Mount Hagen for more than ten days before. He had basically traveled around the airspace within a radius of 500 kilometers around Mount Hagen by helicopter.
Yang Jing patted his knees, "Xiang, just because you can't see something doesn't mean I can't see anything. Do you think I came all the way here from China just to satisfy my craving for helicopters? You know I have a family-inherited skill of looking at the air. If you want to use it to find mineral veins, you have to make a helicopter."
Guo Xiang shook her head and kept silent. Yang Jing patted Chris in the front row and pointed downwards, signaling him to lower his altitude.
Chris pushed the joystick and the helicopter began to rapidly descend. Soon, through the thin mist, a small town appeared in the valley below.
Guo Xiang pulled the map over, gestured on it for a few times, and then pointed to a place with a pen and said, "Old Yang, the town below is called Kandup. It used to be a gathering place for indigenous people. Later, because the climate here is more comfortable than Mount Hagen, it gradually became a tourist town. The local indigenous people have long since turned into farmers, making a living by growing some cash crops and serving the wealthy people who come here for vacation."
Yang Jing turned his head and looked down. At an altitude of less than 800 meters above the ground, he could vaguely see the town below which covered an area of less than 0.5 square kilometers.
Just as Guo Xiang said, although this town looks small, the buildings below are very neat, especially in the center of the town, there is a straight runway. Although it looks like a simple runway and is less than one kilometer long, the fact that such a town can have an airstrip is enough to prove that the people living in this town should be quite wealthy.
Papua New Guinea is not like its southern neighbor Australia. Even if there are only 20 or 30 settlements in Australia, there will be a simple airport. Because Australia is vast and sparsely populated, single-engine light propeller fixed-wing aircraft are very popular in Australia.
But what is Papua New Guinea? This country is so poor that there are only a few airports in the whole country. It is a rare thing to have an airport, even a simple one, in this plateau surrounded by mountains with an altitude of at least 2,300 meters.
As the helicopter continued to descend, the entire town became clearer.
The airport runway is located right in the middle of the town, dividing it into two parts, north and south.
Most of the houses on the south side of the runway were large and neatly arranged. Yang Jing could even see swimming pools in the courtyards in front of some houses. No, the southern half of the town should be the villas and mansions where the rich live or vacation.
In the north of the town, most of the houses are small and scattered, with no planning. This kind of house should be the house where the local indigenous people live.
In addition, neatly arranged farmlands can be seen around the town. Although it is not clear what crops are planted in the farmlands, the area of the farmlands is very large, and it seems to be a large-scale farm.
To the west of the town is a winding river. Guo Xiang had just crossed this river. It was called "Ka River" and originated from deep in the mountains in the north.
Three simple roads are centered on the town, one extending to the north, one to the east, and one to the south.
Although this town is not big, it has mountains, water, rivers, and there should be farmers' mountain springs and some fields. It looks like a paradise.
"Oh, this place is great. I think it's even better than Mount Hagen. How about we build a villa here and stay here for a while every year, just as a vacation?"
Guo Xiang shook her head like a rattle. "Only crazy people come here. Let me tell you, there are real natives in the mountains not far to the west of here. Humph, if you dare to live here, be careful that these natives will come to your door at night and chop off your head and use it as a pillow."
"Tsk, I'm not someone who can be scared." Yang Jing raised his middle finger at Guo Xiang. "This place is quite developed. It looks like it's full of rich people. If there are really headhunters around here, do you think those rich people won't wipe them out? How can they allow others to sleep beside their beds? Especially headhunters. Come on, if you want to scare people, find a reliable place. How could there be headhunters around a town like this with an airport, a highway, and a large farm?"
Guo Xiang snorted twice and muttered, "Believe it or not, I won't stay here no matter how much money you offer me."
"Haha, I think you are frightened."
Guo Xiang waved her hands helplessly and ignored Yang Jing.
Just now, Yang Jing used his eye skill to scan the surroundings. Even though he continued to input more energy into the eye skill, he still couldn't see anything special around the town.
