Chapter 260: Shooting Exhibition
The next day, everyone woke up significantly earlier than yesterday. When I had breakfast at the hotel, I listened to everyone talk about something new. An Feng has lived in the United States for a long time, and it feels normal to integrate into the environment, but in their eyes, there are many differences and incomprehensions.
From traffic rules to regional customs, after actually experiencing it, there are good and bad things to be honest. Ye Ning said what happened last night: "I drove out of the city to take a walk, there were a lot of homeless people, and in some dark places outside the long street, there were some old blacks who were taking drugs in the open. ”
Wang Le raised his head: "How do you know that Lu Dao is taking drugs?" ”
"The police arrested him later!" Ye Ning explained, "I thought that I was 1.85 meters tall and weighed 90 kilograms, which was good in the crowd, but those old black bodies made me worried, they were really strong enough, but they were stunned and knocked to the ground by the police guns, and then handcuffed and taken away." ”
An Feng is not surprised: "Black people provoke the police often very deadly, don't look up to the American police, those who talk about the rules are decent officials, and most of the people on duty below are not particular, they don't talk about racial discrimination, but they have it in their hearts, and people of color can't be stubborn with the police." ”
Ye Ning said: "It makes sense. Most of the police in China are mainly advising and are cautious with their guns, while the American police directly draw their guns and beat them. In addition, the day and night in the United States feel opposite, orderly during the day and chaotic at night. ”
Wang Le said: "In fact, you can understand it this way, regard the United States as the world in 'I am a legend', safe and stable during the day, and demons and monsters at night." ”
Ye Ning smiled and nodded: "That's how it feels." ”
An Feng also smiled, and occasionally Hu Kan with some domestic friends was quite funny and very relaxed.
……
After breakfast, they set off again.
It was still in Nevada, more than 2,000 kilometers from Austin. Far away.
The next stop is the Hoover Dam, a shared area of Nevada and Arizona. The casino is powered by it, the dam was built in the 30s of the last century, and it is also a major project for human beings, Anfeng has seen it once, it is spectacular, but it is still almost compared with the Three Gorges.
The naming of the Hoover Dam is also a bit tortuous. At first, it was named after "Hoover", but after the hungry president stepped down, the Democratic Party changed it to "Bald Dam", and then the Republican Party gained momentum again and changed its name back, and it has been using the name "Hoover" until now.
It can be seen from this that the struggle for power between the two parties is not an ordinary fierce one.
Before they get on the bridge, the police will come and check to see if there are any explosives or anything like that.
Wang Le was puzzled and said: "Isn't this dam claimed by the United States to be able to resist a nuclear attack?" Why are you still worried about this bit of explosives? ”
An Feng shrugged: "Who knows the road, and the era when the dam was built." It seems that nuclear weapons have not been officially used yet, right? ”
Wang Le scratched his head, and smiled: "You can really blow!" ”
Now that you have passed by, it is not bad to see, the scenery around the dam is okay, but some people are curious: "What will be the consequences after the explosion?" ”
An Feng thought for a moment, and then said: "It is estimated that Las Vegas will be able to raise fish around the clock, and let residents upgrade their sea-view rooms for free." ”
"This is a good thing!" Wang Le said.
Walking in front of this, sharp-eyed people find it interesting again. Ye Ning pointed to the sign on the side of the dam, and curiosity came: "Dam safety zone? That's interesting...... Why isn't the police number below 911? Could it be that this string of numbers is the fast line of the American urban management? ”
"This ......," An Feng said he hadn't thought about it at all.
There are too many questions. An Feng and Wang Le couldn't cope with it...... But it's still very happy, the big guy has to go out to play, no matter how good the scenery is, it's wild if you don't have a good mood. These people happen to be able to make two goods, and they have an excellent mentality on the road, and anything can cause laughter.
After visiting the dam. Continuing to set off, they still have four or five hundred kilometers to go today, and they have to go to see the Grand Canyon of the United States. An Feng had seen it in the air, but he hadn't tried to drive, so he set up GPS. All the way at high speed. After leaving the casino, the scenery on the road becomes monotonous.
This is the most typical western highway landscape, where the straight road is divided by a wide barrier in the middle of the road and spreads all the way to the end of the view. Overhead, the blue sky and white clouds overhead, the highway is on both sides of the desert wasteland, the grass and trees grow weakly, and the desolate landscape in the west is unobstructed.
It's easy to get sleepy with the same scenery, An Feng yawned a few times on the way, Joanna looked at him, and said, "Let's go to the back row to rest?" ”
An Feng nodded: "Okay, I'm sleepy when I see these landscapes." ”
In the radio station and the back of the car to say a few words, they also have the intention of changing the person to drive, so they parked on the side of the road together, opened the door and got out of the car, the air suddenly became a lot colder, in the car I don't feel clear, but now it's the weather in December, the farther inland you go, the colder it gets.
Everyone added clothes, changed people and continued to drive.
The sun is setting behind them, and the Grand Canyon has finally arrived, driving along the road specially opened for tourists, coming to some of the most classic scenic spots, getting off the bus and standing together at the most visited viewing points for tourists, looking at the river canyon below, and experiencing this natural magnificence.
An Feng pointed to a river beach in the distance that had been washed out by the turn of the river, and said, "It's a familiar scene, I've seen it on the computer desktop." ”
"Well, yes." Joanna leaned against him for warmth.
An Feng enjoyed the quiet and warm here, and the little friends over there made a fuss, boldly walked to the edge of the cliff, asked his companions to take pictures, and everyone stood together in the back, and then greeted An Feng and Joanna, walked over and with them, behind him was the abyss, click a souvenir.
But it was a bit cold outside, so after enough fuss, they got in the car to blow the heater and returned to a nearby city for an exotic Mexican meal together. America's small towns are different from the big cities in that they are quiet and safe – because there are a lot of pot-bellied cops, and all they do is greet people from house to house, just like Paso Robleson's sheriff Johnson.
This time they went to bed early, because tomorrow they need to run 900 kilometers across New Mexico. There are also some national parks in New Mexico, but there is not much interest in everyone, preferring the big shooting events in Texas, so refuel the next day and go full speed.
Straight Interstate 40 vehicles are scarce. The speed can be very high, whether it's an RV or a truck, if you slow down, they will buzz past you, according to the practice of driving in the United States, regardless of the speed limit. When others are fast, you can be fast too.
They all hovered between 130-140 per hour, looked out the window at the monotonous desert scenery and ran for hundreds of kilometers, then stopped at the gas station to adjust, went to the store to buy something, and changed drivers to continue the rest of the race. Arrive in Texas in about 9 hours, stopping in the small town of Amarillo.
The next day, the dispatch continued, although it was already in the territory of Texas, but it was too large. There are still more than 800 kilometers to run, and there are many forks in the road, in order to be able to arrive before dark, we patiently studied the route, selected the most reasonable one, and the scenery on the road finally changed.
Wang Le, who was driving, was bored and said, "Hey, have you noticed, I don't think Texas is too popular with other Americans." ”
An Feng hugged the sleeping Joanna. Looking out the window, he said, "Look around." In addition to the developed industry, it is a backward rural area, and there are many Mexican descendants in the local area, who are relatively wild in nature, and have been independent in history, which must be more special. ”
"That's right." Wang Le nodded. "The next time the Americans keep talking about the domestic frontier issue, the country should also use this to fight back."
"I strongly support the independence of the Republic of Texas." An Feng quoted a famous quote from the Internet.
"Not bad! Not bad! Wang Le smiled.
……
After five days, they finally arrived at their destination after driving fast all the way to reincarnate.
Considering that Anfeng's wooden house can't accommodate so many people, he has to find a hotel in a nearby town. Usually you don't think about this kind of small local hotel, but the American Motel (motel) is almost everywhere, and as long as there are people, there is a Motel, so it should be easy to think about it.
But the truth is, they are wrong again.
The two hotels were full in a row, An Feng glanced at the cars at the door of the room, the license plates were not all Texan, but also the signs of some surrounding areas, and heard a restaurant waitress say that many people took advantage of the holidays to participate in shooting activities, and there was more than that.
Later, they walked far away, and finally found two rooms that had not yet been dealt with.
To say that these people in the team are also optimistic, Ye Ning said with a smile: "When you are in the casino, the waiter will help you park the car and wait in line for half an hour before you can enter the hotel. ”
"Then it's time for you to give a five-star rating." Wang Le said with a smile.
An Feng arranged their accommodation, ate something, and returned with Wang Le.
……
I woke up early the next morning.
This small place is like a rural area, and there is nothing to play, they all come to An Feng's gun shop, Wang Le drove HMMWV out of the city, ready to open the eyes of these people. After An Feng got up, he and Joanna prepared some bread and milk, ate a simple meal, and drove to the gun shop.
The national shooting activity began on the second day, which will last for two days and two nights, and is still in preparation today, when An Feng parked, Wang Le and the guys were around the military vehicle and looked at it rarely, An Feng got out of the car and greeted them: "Let's go, let's go inside and have a look, it's fun in the rear." ”
Everyone walked into the gun shop and opened their eyes again.
Even Wang Le, who has experienced the scale of the gun shop, said: "I feel that it is getting bigger and bigger, and it is a bit comparable to the meaning of the US military factory!" ”
Due to An Feng's large investment, it can be said that there are weapons sold on the market, which can be found here, and there are even some out-of-print ones displayed in glass cabinets, there are only two guys in the gun shop, and the rest are in the open-air shooting range in the backyard, and the gunshots can be faintly heard.
"Pick a weapon first, go to the back and try the feel." An Feng told everyone that considering that there were more new hands, he also called a guy to guide them. Everyone came to the backyard with their favorite weapons, there were many gun friends, Mike was pointing beside him, and there was a pile of aircraft molds in front of him.
An Feng went over to say hello: "Hey, Mike! ”
Mike high-fived him, and then said, "You're just in time, this event has the American Firearms Organization in attendance, and it's given us some new ideas, have you seen these aircraft molds?" We're going to assemble it and use it in tomorrow's shooting event, when everyone flies the target. ”
"Shoot off with a gun? Good point! An Feng said.
"I also think that if you just shoot a lot, it's a bit boring, and adding these activities to the target will definitely make the bullets consume exponentially."
An Feng said: "But I also brought something good to make this feast more visual." ”
"What is it?" (To be continued......)
