Chapter 506 505. Golden City (45)

Tucson, the second largest city in Arizona, is located in the Sonoran Desert, full of rolling sand dunes and clusters of cacti.

Li Du came here once to sell old photo materials to a professor of history at the University of Arizona.

The last time I came was spring, now it is autumn, two different seasons, two different scenery.

Now the environment of Tucson is brilliant, and the golden color is exciting everywhere.

It was already afternoon when they arrived in the city, and the sunshine in the southwestern United States was more enjoyable than Phoenix. It was so beautiful to see the sand dunes shining golden yellow, but when they got out of the car, the heat wave was very uncomfortable.

Drive off the east side of Exit 258 on I-10 Interstate, and then you will find downtown Tucson.

Hans gave instructions to Da Ao: "Go northeast, buddy, just drive one kilometer, and that's the campus of the University of Arizona. We'll have dinner there and live there."

Da Ao looked at Li Du: "Boss, do you want to go to the warehouse tonight?"

Li Du yawned and said, "No, I'm too tired. Let's rest tonight. We'll talk about the warehouse tomorrow. We still have time."

The truck pulls onto 4th-Ave, the main street in the college town with lots of little restaurants, bars and interesting shops.

College students are either in pairs or in groups of three or four. They walk on the street, and Li Du can feel the youthfulness in them through the car window.

"It's really enviable, these young people."

Hans looked at him and said, "Hey, buddy, are you here to provoke me? Talk like you're not a young man."

Li Du was taken aback, and said, "Oh, yes, I'm also a college student, damn it, I forgot."

First of all, looking for a place to stay, Hans asked: "Do you still want to go camping? We can eat here, and then go to the Cactus Landscape Loop, which is eight miles long and open to cars. There are various picnic areas and viewpoints." and camp areas."

Li Du waved his hands and said, "I'm resting today, find a place to rest, look, my three children are exhausted."

Ah Aw, Ah Meow, they didn't move. The space inside the car was too small for them to move.

Animals who do not exercise for a long time and are in a closed space will also feel tired. This is a kind of mental fatigue, which is more uncomfortable than physical fatigue.

The price of accommodation in Tucson varies quite a lot, and the price is lower in summer and autumn, because the temperature is high at this time, and few people want to come here.

Hans contacted a modern hotel near the desert, where he could live under the stars and next to cacti, with free coffee and waffles in the morning and movies on a big screen.

There is a sandy land square at the entrance of the hotel, which allows barbecues on it. In addition, the hotel also has a large open kitchen, which can be used after paying and cooking by yourself.

In this way, Li Du decided to cook and eat by himself. If he ate western food and kept changing the environment, he would feel uncomfortable.

After Godzilla and Da Ao got off the car, they went to buy a bunch of Absolute Hot Dogs. Li Du had already eaten this last time he came to Tucson. Cheese, crushed tomato, mayonnaise, mustard, onions and more.

These hot dogs need to be heated, so they borrowed a grill from the hotel, and the two big men grilled it happily.

The square in front of the hotel is open to the public, because the surrounding environment is good, and many people will come to have a barbecue party in the evening after get off work.

When Li Du and the others arrived, dozens of people were already waiting in the square. The square was divided into different areas with lime water, some large and some small.

In this way, he was very strange and asked, "What's going on here? Why is it divided into areas?"

Hans said: "The people in Tucson are very tough. They came into contact with Mexico. There were often small-scale conflicts in the past. The state police and militia were unreliable. People relied more on themselves, and developed a brave and martial habit."

Needless to say, Li Du has already guessed the following: "This kind of folk customs is reflected in life, that is, everyone will fight for territory? Is the grid drawn to delineate the territory for users?"

Hans snapped his fingers: "That's right, that's it. You don't know yet, people die every year at the warehouse auction here in Tucson."

"ah?"

"Competition is cruel, brother." Hans said lazily, "We like to quarrel with our mouths in the central part. People here can fight as much as possible without beeping."

Li Du said: "Then we have to be careful."

Luguan pouted his neck and said, "What are you afraid of? These savages in Tucson just bully the weak, you can't show fear, you have to be tougher than them!"

Hans nodded and said, "That's right, have you been here before?"

Lu Guan said: "Well, a good buddy of mine encountered trouble here. There were twenty people on the other side, and he only had one. But when the conflict happened, he was not afraid, but acted tougher!"

Li Du said in admiration: "He's really a tough guy, and then did his tough attitude scare away the other party?"

"No, he was beaten into a disability."

Li Du was speechless, looked at him and said, "Are you telling a joke to amuse me?"

Lu Guan said: "Of course not. Although he was beaten, he is disabled as a tough guy, and he is considered a tough guy with a disability."

"Shit!" Li Du raised his middle finger at him.

They don't have to be afraid, there are two fierce beasts, Godzilla and Da Ao, and Li Du also brings a tiger cat and a raccoon, who look a lot like a big guy from Mexico.

Now the bosses not only like to lead thugs, but also like to bring beasts to the streets. Tiger cats are barely considered beasts.

When they arrived at the square, they chose a relatively spacious area with a faucet next to it, so that it would be easier to clean up the meals.

Godzilla and Da Ao were busy roasting hot dogs first, while Li Du had a drink and rest. He asked Godzilla to help him heat a pot of hot water on the stove for noodles.

At sunset, there are more and more people in the square.

No one around them approached, Godzilla and Ou were busy in front of the oven all afternoon, the weather was hot and the charcoal fire was also hot, so they took off their coats and were shirtless, looking extremely fierce.

Seeing this scene, Hans laughed and said, "We will be very relaxed at the auction this time. I bet few people dare to challenge us."

Seeing his complacent look, Li Du warned him: "Don't provoke others, make money with peace, we are here to make money, not to find trouble!"

Later in the day, several off-road vehicles painted in camouflage colors drove over, the vehicles stopped, and a group of soldiers with big arms got out of the vehicles and walked towards them carrying beer barrels and ovens.

These soldiers walked nearby and occupied all the vacant places. A black soldier looked at them with a cold face and asked, "Who told you to be here?"
