889. Slums (part 3/5)
His understatement caused an uproar at the scene, and a group of treasure pickers were stunned, and several people asked in unison, "Are you kidding?"
Li Du smiled: "Lightning Ridge in New South Wales, Australia, if you have friends in the local area, you can get to know them, I should be a little famous in the town." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½β
Conrad's eyes straightened, and he exclaimed, "Impossible, what do you think money is? Is it waste paper? You can make it as you want?"
Hans looked at him and said, "Whatever you say, even if you don't talk about the gem veins in Lightning Ridge, let's just say that we are fishing for black gold abalone in Tasmania, we have made millions of dollars, I won't say how much, you won't believe it." β
Even the magician was shocked: "Is it so profitable to catch black gold abalone?"
Hans introduced him to ama and how they helped solve a child trafficking case in Australia and then received a government award to catch black abalone all year round.
What he didn't introduce was that Li Du was very good at locating the black gold abalone, and they found a black gold abalone survival area, and there were gem ore veins around the survival area.
Child abduction cases can be easily found on the Internet, and information about the government and the Fishing and Hunting Bureau upgrading their fishing licenses can also be found.
In this way, Li Du and Hans became the stars of the party completely, and whether it was the members of the Million Club or the treasure hunter of any place, they all gathered around them and eagerly asked about the relevant matters.
Conrad and the FΓΌhrer were extremely envious and jealous, but they could do nothing, not even have the courage to question Li Du and Hans.
At this time, it is useless to question, and people will only be ridiculed for not being able to eat grapes and saying that grapes are sour.
The next day, led by Chris Bell, a team of treasure hunters drove to the south of Los Angeles.
The development of the north and south of the city of angels is very uneven, and the northern region is much more developed than the south, which can be seen from the housing prices.
Li Du had been to the southern area of Los Angeles, and when they went to Long Beach, they thought it was a good place, with beautiful scenery and many tourists.
The place I went to this time is called Habersell, a famous slum.
Habersell is not far from Long Beach, only two stops on the subway, so close is the difference between heaven and hell.
All the way to the gallop, the car drove into Habersell.
Along the way, Li Du saw all the low-rise bungalows, rusty color steel tile houses, and dilapidated brick and wood houses, and further south, he could see the famous high-rise buildings of Long Beach.
When they arrived in Habersell, they were in trouble, the police blocked the road and they needed to be investigated.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Du stood on the pedals of the pickup truck and looked back and forth, comparing the differences between the two regions, and exclaimed: "Unbelievable, is this a city? β
Hans had spent time in Los Angeles and knew the city very well.
He slapped his keyboard to Eminem's rap and said, "If you flew over Los Angeles, you'd be even more shocked." β
Li Du looked into the north pole and asked, "The north side is more luxurious, isn't it? Beverly Hills is there, we've been there." β
"yes, Beverly Hills is home to a bunch of Hollywood stars, and it's a high-end residential area. Then there's Malibu, the beach house area of Jewish financiers-capitalists. β
Hans counted him and said, "San Marino is a forest city, where you can breathe the freshest air every day." There are also Huntington Estate, Pasadena ......, which are very well-known in the United States.
He introduced and shook his head: "Countless, man, Los Angeles is like that, the name of the City of Angels is not given for nothing, those places are where angels live, that is heaven on earth." β
The police have been blocking the road, and the crowd has been unable to move forward, of course, not only them, but other vehicles and pedestrians have also been blocked.
Bell went to the supermarket next door to buy coffee and give it to them one by one to soothe their emotions.
Li Du took a cup and asked, "What's wrong?"
Bell sighed: "This is the Los Angeles Anti-Narcotics Police, and Habersell has a synthetic hemp. It's cheap, and many homeless people will save up to smoke it, but it's dangerous, and more than thirty people have already been admitted to the hospital. β
"It's Galaxy X," the magician said, "it's quite cheap, it costs one dose, and it attracts a large number of poor people, and many slums have become popular in it. β
Li Du was surprised: "One dollar and one dose, these people still have to save money to buy it?
Hans patted him on the shoulder and said, "You have been in the United States for a long time, but you haven't seen those hells, really, that's hell, whoever goes in will become a ghost." β
Bell said seriously: "Our task is to save them, of course, we only save those souls who yearn for the light. β
Li Du nodded silently, he had no sense of belonging to the United States, and it was not his turn to do this kind of thing to save the people from fire and water. But if someone wants to do it, he is willing to support it.
There are some things he doesn't want to do and he doesn't think he can do it successfully, but that doesn't stop him from admiring those who work hard for it, and Bell is the person he admires.
He also admired Bell's connections, and one of the sheriffs blocking the road was an acquaintance of him, and when he spotted him, he came over to say hello.
This sheriff is tall and burly, bald and broad-mouthed, and looks a little like the famous movie star Bruce Willis.
"Hey, Chris, come over here and do good?" said the sheriff.
Bell laughed, "Do what we're supposed to do, Officer Willis, what's going on now? My guy says you're sweeping the Starlight X?"
Sheriff Willis nodded, "Yes, damn Starlight X, you'd better not come here lately, this is the hardest hit area, and there are a bunch of crazy people." β
"It's just a big suck, so bad?" asked Hans, surprised.
As soon as he heard his words, Li Du knew that this thing must have sucked this thing.
Sheriff Willis was surprised, looked at him and said, "You think this thing is the same as what you sucked?" Ha, naΓ―ve, you only need to take two puffs of this thing, and you will become grumpy, nervous, slurred, vomiting, sweating, and even epilepsy. β
"What's more, the second-hand smoke of this thing is also lethal, and I went into a room with a guy for a while, and this poor guy didn't have a mask, and he was going to the hospital. β
"Then why do they still suck it?" asked Li Du.
Sheriff Willis looked at him curiously and said, "Where is this little angel from? Haha, this is the most interesting question I've heard this year." β
He paused and asked Li Du, "You are the same as the Holy Son, you are a treasure picker, right?"
"Yes. Li Du nodded.
