After completing the transaction, Ma Hongwei first retrieved his passport before going to the supermarket with Xia Weiwei for a second large-scale shopping trip.

This purchase mainly involves buying various cooked foods, convenience foods, and snacks.

Anyway, these foods won't spoil in the storage space.

Being in an unfamiliar place abroad, Ma Hongwei had no desire to try the local cuisine.

After all, Pakistan and India used to belong to the same region.

If Britain hadn't planted landmines everywhere, and if the two countries hadn't had different religious beliefs, they would probably have become one country.

Pakistan's infrastructure is better than India's, and its toilet coverage is also higher.

However, Pakistan has the worst air quality in the world, with an average PM2.5 level of 73.7, while India's is 50.4.

In addition to poor air quality, water pollution is also severe.

Nearly 70% of India’s surface water and groundwater have been contaminated by corpses, feces and heavy metals.

In Pakistan, 88% of tap water exceeds the standard for microorganisms, and tens of thousands of children die each year from diarrheal diseases caused by drinking water. They also have a high number of cases of cholera, dysentery, typhoid fever, and hepatitis.

Although there are medications to treat these conditions, Ma Hongwei doesn't want to get sick.

So in addition to various cooked foods and convenience foods, Ma Hongwei also bought a large amount of bottled water and fruit.

When he and Xia Weiwei returned this time, the storage space had increased from 294 cubic meters to 336 cubic meters, and it wouldn't take up much space to store food and water.

Because of the poor air quality, Ma Hongwei even bought N95 masks.

……

night.

Ma Hongwei and Xia Weiwei were leaning against the bed, having a video call with their mother, Zhang Aiying.

As soon as the video call connected, Zhang Aiying launched into a tirade: "You brat, you've been gone for so many days, and you finally remembered to video call your old lady?"

"Hmph!"

Ma Hongwei said, "I've been busy the whole time, and I only had some time today."

"You're out having fun, not on a business trip, so what are you so busy with!"

Zhang Aiying rolled her eyes and said, "Where's Weiwei? I want to chat with Weiwei!"

"I'm watching videos here!"

Ma Hongwei moved his phone to the side, and Xia Weiwei appeared on the screen.

"Hello, Auntie!"

Xia Weiwei smiled and waved in greeting, asking, "Have you eaten? How have you been feeling lately?"

"Hello, Weiwei!"

Seeing her son and Xia Weiwei in the same bed, Zhang Aiying was secretly delighted, thinking, "These two have really improved their relationship after traveling together for a few days!"

Having been through it all, she could naturally see that there was still a rift in their relationship.

But this time, the relationship is clearly different.

"I've already eaten, and I'm feeling great lately. You guys do your thing, don't worry about me!"

Zhang Aiying asked with a smile, "What about you guys? Have you eaten yet? What delicious food did you have outside?"

"We had barbecue tonight!"

Xia Weiwei replied.

The two of them started chatting casually.

After chatting for a while, Zhang Aiying said, "It's getting late, you two should get some rest!"

"OK!"

Xia Weiwei waved and said, "Goodnight, Auntie. You should go to sleep early too!"

"Mom, I'll hang up now if there's nothing else!"

Ma Hongwei hung up the video call, staring intently at Xia Weiwei, and said, "Darling, starting tomorrow I'll be leaving your side. We won't see each other for a long time. Life is short, so we must cherish it!"

Feeling the intense gaze from the other person, Xia Weiwei felt as if she was about to melt; her body temperature rose, and her body felt hot.

"Mmm~"

Xia Weiwei lowered her head shyly and responded softly.

The next moment, she was pinned down by Ma Hongwei.

……

The next day.

Xia Weiwei got up early and prepared a breakfast she made herself for Ma Hongwei.

After washing up, Ma Hongwei ate while giving instructions: "You must be careful while I'm gone."

"Although there isn't as much crime as before, we still need to be careful."

"I know."

Xia Weiwei nodded in agreement.

Ma Hongwei added, "If nothing unexpected happens, I should be back after a few days there; I won't stay too long."

Xia Weiwei smiled and said, "I'll wait for you to come back."

After breakfast, Ma Hongwei brushed his teeth and put on his backpack.

Although he has storage space, this time he is going abroad with a tour guide.

If you don't bring anything, it will actually attract other people's attention.

"Mua~"

Ma Hongwei kissed Xia Weiwei again, then turned and left.

When he got downstairs, a ride-hailing car was already waiting for him on the road next to him.

To travel to Pakistan, Ma Hongwei first needs to take the high-speed train from Ancheng to Beijing.

Then, from the capital airport in Beijing, take a direct flight to Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan.

At Ancheng East Station, Ma Hongwei boarded a high-speed train bound for Beijing.

He arrived at Beijing West Railway Station in just two and a half hours.

Unfortunately, there is no subway line from Beijing directly to the Capital Airport.

In order to save time, Ma Hongwei did not take the airport bus from the West Station, but took a taxi directly.

When I arrived there it was almost noon, and there were still more than two hours before boarding.

At the Capital Airport, Ma Hongwei found his mentor for this trip, Xiao Zhong, a well-known video blogger in China.

Ma Hongwei learned about Peshawar from Xiao Zhong's videos.

The other party has four videos of their trip to Peshawar, two of which are specifically about the firearms there.

One of the videos was probably quite sensitive and was taken down by Bilibili.

"Hello, Brother Chung!"

"Hello, Mr. Ma!"

The two shook hands with smiles after they met.

When he heard that the other party was going to Peshawar, Xiao Zhong was actually unwilling to go.

But Ma Hongwei really gave too much.

For the sake of this money, he had no choice but to agree.

Xiao Zhong asked, "Boss Ma, I don't know if you've applied for an e-visa yet? If not, apply now, it should be approved this afternoon."

"Yes, I've applied."

Ma Hongwei said, "I applied online yesterday and it was approved."

"Once the application is approved, things will be much easier."

Xiao Zhong added, "Only in major cities like Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad, in shopping districts, restaurants, wholesale markets, and foreign trade stores, do online payments. Other places only accept rupees in cash."

"So we need to bring some cash with us and exchange it for rupees at a local currency exchange."

"Is that so?"

Ma Hongwei said, "Then let's just withdraw some cash at the airport!"

He took out tens of thousands of yuan in cash, put 10,000 yuan in his backpack, and put the rest in his storage space.

After withdrawing the money, Ma Hongwei said to Xiao Zhong, "You haven't had lunch yet, have you? Let's go get lunch together. What do you want to eat?"

"Boss, it's up to you to decide!"

Xiao Zhong answered.

He can eat clean and hygienic local food from India and Africa, and he has even tasted "second-hand fried chicken" that he found in the garbage cans of the Philippine slums.

Food is not a problem for him.
