On the street, except for the children who don't know the taste of sorrow, they are still running and playing, Hou Rui found that all the adults' faces seemed to be lifeless, everyone was like the walking dead, only when these locals saw the sightseeing bus that Hou Rui and others were riding, their eyes would show a little envy and jealousy, as well as hatred.

And beside these locals, every time he passes a few streets, Hou Rui will see heavily armed local policemen on duty, these policemen are lazily leaning on the police car, carrying M4A1 carbines, either smoking or holding coffee cups, their eyes sweeping every corner of the street from time to time.

The city of Nuevo Laredo is almost 300 years old, and today it is a small city with a population of about 300,000 to 400,000 people, with animal husbandry, manufacturing and tourism as its core.

According to the information collected by the ape-men, Hou Rui knew that more than 20 years ago, due to the cheap local labor, a large number of American companies were attracted to build factories here, which prompted Nuevo Laredo to become a pearl on the U.S.-Mexico border for a time, but with the successive entry of narcotics groups, various criminal activities have skyrocketed, and gradually scared away American factories and turned this place into a dead city.

Now it seems that the city is terminally ill, the streets are littered with a lot of garbage and debris, and the pedestrians are emaciated, as if everyone is in a state of idleness.

Soon, the bus stopped at a plaza in the center of the city, which was packed with all kinds of stalls, selling everything from traditional Mexican shawls to gourmet tacos, and there were 2-300 small vendors shouting one after another, which seemed to be probably the most vibrant and lively place in the whole city.

Waiting for Rui he got off the bus, stood in front of a stall selling large Mexican straw hats, and after his eyes quietly swept over the ape-man, Sir and these guys, before he could make the next instructions, a series of very sudden gunshots rang out violently, startling everyone in the square to the ground in an instant, especially Hou Rui, whose movements were even more amazingly agile.

"Bang bang bang...... Bump, bump, bump!"

Hou Rui, who was squatting on the ground, gritted his teeth, took a few steps forward, followed the gap between the two stalls, and looked at the location where the gunshots rang out, and immediately saw a small-scale sudden shootout.

Near an exit from the square, a man in a cloak stood in the middle of the street, holding a short-barreled M16A2 assault rifle that had just been hidden under the cloak, and fired at two men walking out of a shop;

The two men opposite the gunman, one of them fell to the ground with a bullet in the chest and a shoulder wound in the other, and immediately pulled out a 9mm pistol and began to return fire, forcing the gunman holding the M16A2 to kneel on one leg.

Finding that the sudden shootout not far away had become intertwined, more than a dozen policemen scattered around the square immediately reacted, and after they ran over, they didn't ask any questions at all, and a number of M4 carbines immediately began to fire violently, leaving a large number of bullet holes in the walls of the store in the blink of an eye.

After the police opened fire, Hou Rui immediately noticed the difference, these policemen were not stopping the shootout at all, but chose to eliminate them all, not only that, but even the civilians who were unfortunately involved in this shootout, the police basically had no mercy, Hou Rui saw with his own eyes a woman standing at the window looking out, under the shooting of the police, covering her face and falling.

As for the cloaked gunman with a short-barreled M16, as the first target, he immediately turned into a hornet's nest in the shape of a human, and fell to the ground on his back, just when the tourists thought that this little accident was over, but the policemen pointed their guns at the injured man behind the pillar, and the same random shooting quickly turned him into a corpse.

At this time, the gunfire at the corner of the street finally stopped, so the policemen slowly came out of their hidden positions, walked up cautiously with their carbines, kicked away the weapons next to the corpses, and then examined the three corpses, and then called for support by walkie-talkie.

Seeing that the maniac who shot in the street had died, the panicked American tourists calmed down and began to slowly stand up straight.

Soon, the American tourists were divided into two groups, one group advocated going to the hotel immediately and hiding in a safe place to calm down, and the other group was even more complete, with 7-8 tourists already regretting the trip and even going back to the United States immediately, intending to end the trip to Mexico before it really began.

While everyone was still arguing in a mess, Hou Rui and the others had quietly gathered together, stood within a range of about 6-7 meters, and had a secret meeting.

"What's next?" the ape-man whispered to Rui.

"It wasn't supposed to be coming at us, so we went as planned, first going to the hotel for a night, and then heading south to the first storage station to get equipment and cars. Hou Rui immediately made a decision.

"Okay, then I'll let you know. With that, he quickly flashed and leaned to the side to relay the news to the others.

2-3 minutes later, three open-top police cars arrived at the scene, when the police officers pulled up the cordon, to deal with the aftermath, Hou Rui and their group of tourists got back on the bus, the first stop is to go to the hotel not far away, and then return to the border crossing, so that no matter what choice the tourists make, the driver of the sightseeing bus can do both.

Soon, more than a dozen tourists with simple luggage walked into the hotel lobby, and then at the time when Hou Rui and his group were checking in, two different firefights were heard in the nearby neighborhoods, echoing sporadically over the entire city.

Faced with such an exciting environment, it was a nightmare for first-time visitors to Mexico, so everyone was nervous, but ironically, the staff at this hotel were used to it, and the smiles on their faces did not change much in the echoing gunfire, as if they were selectively deaf, and they were ready to settle in.

When the group of tourists who chose to stay walked to the elevator, the sightseeing bus pulled the other half of the tourists and quickly left the door of the hotel and returned to the border checkpoint.

After about 2 minutes, Hou Rui, who was carrying a backpack, finally entered his room, and the ape-man who was in the same room with Hou Rui gave the bellman a $10 tip, and then closed the door, and then said to Hou Rui: "The border of Mexico is really worthy of its reputation, and we just came in an hour ago, and there were three shootouts around us, which is really exciting." ”

"Nuevo Laredo is an important land crossing, and the five major Mexican groups are constantly vying for territory to facilitate the delivery of narcotics to the United States, and whoever occupies more territory means that the more money they have in hand, so war is the daily routine here. Hou Rui stood at the window, tapping his knuckles on the bulletproof glass in the room while looking at the police standing guard downstairs in the hotel.

At this time, downstairs in this hotel, the people standing guard on duty are not ordinary uniformed policemen, but special police units affiliated to the Mexican Federation, these special police officers wearing helmets, black masks, and body armor, each holding an M4A1 carbine, standing in groups of four on an open-top jeep, and the core of their firepower is an M60 heavy machine gun mounted on the steel frame of the jeep, which looks murderous.

It seems that there are two of such a strong SWAT team at the front entrance of the hotel, and Hou Rui estimates that there will be at least one at the back door of the hotel, so from this point of view, the security of this hotel can still be guaranteed, at least before someone rushes up, Hou Rui's gang can have enough time to react.

After learning this, Hou Rui, who was quietly relieved, threw his backpack on the bed, and sat down with him: "What about the others?"

"It's almost like us, stay in the room, and we'll meet at dinner time." As he spoke, the ape-man lay on the bed in a large shape, shaking his limbs at will, looking heartless and relaxed.

"It's better to be cautious, don't attract the attention of others, let's call dinner into the room." ”

"No problem, I'll call room service. As he spoke, he deftly rolled over and reached out to grab the phone.

Two hours later, Hou Rui and the ape-man were watching a boring program on TV, when there was a sudden knock on the door, and then two waiters pushing a small food cart brought spicy steak, todila soup and the most famous local tacos.

Early the next morning, the American tourists who chose to stay went their separate ways, fearlessly going straight to several tourist attractions in Nuevo Laredo, and those who needed to do errands also went to various locations and companies, while those who needed to transfer to other cities and regions, including Hou Rui, left the hotel by car and soon began the journey through the city of Nuevo Laredo.
