The next day, everyone got up earlier than yesterday. When eating breakfast at the hotel, I just listened to everyone chatting about some new experiences. An Feng has lived in the United States for a long time, and he feels that the rhythm is normal when he integrates into the environment, but in their eyes, there are many differences and incomprehensions.
From traffic rules to regional customs, after real experience, to be honest, there are both good and bad. Ye Ning talked about what happened last night: "I drove out for a walk, there are many homeless people, and in some dark places outside the long street, some old blacks are taking drugs openly."
Wang Le looked up: "How do you know it's drug use?"
"The police caught him at the back!" Ye Ning explained, "I thought I was 1.85 meters tall and weighed 90 kilograms, which was not bad in the crowd, but those old black figures made me feel dizzy. He was strong, but he was knocked down to the ground by the police, and he was handcuffed and taken away after being beaten up."
An Feng is not surprised: "Black people are often very deadly when they provoke the police. Don't think highly of the American police. Those who talk about the rules are all serious officials, while those who are on duty are mostly not particular. They don't talk about racial discrimination. , but in my heart, people of color can't argue with the police."
Ye Ning said: "It makes sense. The police in China mostly focus on persuasion and are cautious with their guns, while the American police directly draw their guns and beat them up. In addition, the day and night in the United States feel opposite. There was order and chaos at night."
Wang Le said: "Actually, you can understand it this way. Think of the United States as the world in 'I Am Legend'. It is safe and stable during the day, and ghosts and ghosts at night."
Ye Ning smiled and nodded: "That's how it feels."
An Feng also laughed. It's quite interesting to chat with some domestic friends occasionally, and it's very relaxing.
After breakfast, they set off again.
At this moment, it is still in Nevada, and it is more than 2,000 kilometers away from Austin, which is far away.
The next stop is the shared area of Nevada and Arizona—the Hoover Dam. The casino is powered by it. The dam was built in the 1930s. It is considered a major project for mankind. An Feng once saw it once. It is very spectacular, but it is still not as good as the Three Gorges.
The naming of the Hoover Dam is also a bit tortuous. At the beginning, it was named after "Hoover". As a result, after the hungry president stepped down, the Democratic Party changed it to "Bowd Dam". Then the Republican Party gained power again and changed its name back. Has been using the "Hoover" name until now.
It can be seen that the struggle for power between the two parties is not usually fierce.
Before they get on the bridge, the police will come to check to see if there are any explosives or the like.
Wang Le was very puzzled and said: "Isn't this dam claimed by the United States to be able to withstand nuclear attacks? Why are you still worried about this explosive?"
An Feng shrugged: "Who knows, and the time when the dam was built, it seems that nuclear weapons have not been officially used yet?"
Wang Le scratched his head and laughed: "You can really blow!"
Since passing by, it is good to have a look. The scenery around the dam is not bad, but some people are curious: "What will happen after the explosion?"
An Feng thought about it for a while, and then said: "It is estimated that Las Vegas can raise fish around the clock, and let residents upgrade to sea view rooms for free."
"I want to praise this!" Wang Le said.
Walking ahead, the sharp-eyed people found it interesting again. Ye Ning pointed to the sign beside the dam, and his curiosity came: "Dam safe area? That's interesting... Why isn't the call below 911? Could it be that this Is the serial number the express line of the U.S. urban management?"
"This..." An Feng said that he hadn't thought about it at all.
There are too many problems, An Feng and Wang Le can't handle it... But it's still very fun, the big guys have to go out to play, no matter how good the scenery is, it's versatile if you're not in a good mood. This group of people just happens to be able to make up for second-hand goods, and they have a great attitude on the road, and everything can cause laughter.
After visiting the dam, continue to set off. They still have four to five hundred kilometers to go today, and they have to see the Grand Canyon of the United States. An Feng had seen it in the air, but hadn't tried driving before, so he set the GPS and drove forward at high speed. After leaving the casino, the scenery on the road became monotonous.
This is the most typical western highway landscape. The straight road is separated by a wide separation belt in the middle of the road, spreading to the end of the field of vision. The blue sky and white clouds above the head, desert wasteland on both sides of the road, the vegetation grows feebly, and the desolate landscape of the west can be seen at a glance.
The unchanging scenery makes it easy to get sleepy. Anfeng yawned a few times on the way. Joanna looked at him and said, "Shall we go to the back row to rest?"
An Feng nodded: "Okay, I feel sleepy after seeing these sights."
Talked to the cars behind on the radio, they also planned to change the driver, so they parked together on the side of the road, opened the door and got out of the car. The weather in February gets colder the further you go inland.
Everyone added clothes, changed people and continued to drive.
The sunset gradually fell behind them, and the Grand Canyon finally arrived. Drive along the road specially opened for tourists, and come to some of the most classic scenic spots. Get off the car and stand at the viewing point with the most tourists, overlooking the river canyon below. , to experience the splendor of nature.
An Feng pointed to a river beach washed out by the river turning in the distance, and said, "It's a very familiar scene, I've seen it on the computer desktop."
"Well, yes." Joanna leaned against him to keep warm.
An Feng enjoyed the tranquility and warmth here, but the friends over there started arguing. He boldly walked to the edge of the cliff and asked his companions to take pictures. Then everyone stood together and greeted An Feng and Joanna, and walked over to join them. , behind you is the abyss, click a picture.
But it was a bit cold outside. After the trouble was over, they got into the car to turn on the heater, returned to a nearby city, and had an exotic Mexican meal together. Small towns in the United States are different from big cities. They are very quiet and have good law and order-because there are many pot-bellied policemen, and they have nothing to do when they have nothing to do. They go door to door and say hello, just like the sheriff Johnson in Paso Robles.
Go to bed earlier this time, because tomorrow they need to run 900 kilometers across New Mexico. There are also some national parks in New Mexico, but everyone is not interested in it, preferring the big shooting activities in Texas, so the next day, I refueled and drove at full speed.
There are few vehicles on the straight Interstate 40, and the speed can be very high. Whether it is a RV or a truck, if you slow down, they will buzz past you. According to the American driving practice, regardless of the speed limit, When others are fast, you can be fast too.
The speed hovered between 130-140 per hour. Looking at the monotonous desert scenery outside the window, I ran for hundreds of kilometers. Then I stopped at a gas station to adjust, went to the store to buy something, and changed to another driver to continue the rest of the distance. Arrive in Texas in about 9 hours and stop in the small town of Amarillo.
The next day, we continued to dispatch. Although we were already in Dezhou, its land area was too large, and we still had to run more than 800 kilometers, and there were many fork roads. In order to arrive before dark, we patiently studied the route and chose the best route. Reasonably, the scenery on the road has finally changed.
Wang Le, who was driving, said boredly: "Hey, have you noticed, I don't think Texas is too popular with other Americans."
An Feng put his arms around the sleeping Joanna, looked out the window, and said: "Look around, except for the developed industry, it is a backward rural area, and there are many descendants of Mexico in the local area. Being independent is definitely something special."
"That's right." Wang Le nodded, "Next time the Americans always talk about the border issue in China, the country should also use this to fight back."
"I strongly support the independence of the Republic of Texas." An Feng quoted a famous Internet quote.
"Not bad! Not bad!" Wang Le smiled.
After five days, they drove fast all the way to reincarnate, and finally arrived at their destination.
Considering that Anfeng's wooden house can't accommodate so many people, it is necessary to find a hotel in a nearby town. Usually, this kind of small local hotel is out of the question, but American-style Motels (motels) are almost everywhere. Where there are people, there is a Motel, it should be easy to think about.
But the truth is, they were wrong again.
The two hotels in a row were full. An Feng glanced at the cars in front of the room. The license plates were not all from Texas, but also from some surrounding areas. He heard from a restaurant waitress that many people took advantage of the holidays to Come for the shooting action, and that's not all.
They walked further away, and finally found two rooms that had not yet been taken.
To say that these people in the team are also optimistic, Ye Ning said with a smile: "When I was in the casino, the waiter would wait in line for half an hour to enter the hotel after parking the car for you. The relationship here is good, and I will let you directly The car parks at the door of the room, and once you get out of the car, you can go in and snore while lying down."
"Then you should give a five-star rating." Wang Le said with a smile.
An Feng arranged their accommodation, ate something, and returned with Wang Le.
Woke up early the next morning.
This small place looks like a countryside in the outskirts, and there is nothing to do. They are all rushing to Anfeng's gun shop. Wang Le drove the HMMWV out, ready to open the eyes of these people. After getting up, An Feng prepared some bread and milk with Joanna, had a simple meal, and then drove to the gun shop.
The nationwide shooting activity started on the second day and will last for two days and two nights. It is still under preparation today. When An Feng stopped the car, Wang Le and his fellows gathered around the military vehicle and watched curiously. An Feng got off the vehicle and greeted them: "Go. Come on, 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 store, said: "It feels like it's getting bigger and bigger, and it's a bit comparable to a military factory!"
Due to An Feng's large investment, it can be said that there are weapons on the market, and they can be found here. 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 in the backyard. In the shooting range, gunshots could be heard faintly.
"Choose a weapon first, and go to the back to try the feel." An Feng said to everyone, considering that there are more beginners, he also called a buddy to guide them. Everyone came to the backyard with their favorite weapons. There were many gun friends. Mike was pointing at the side, and there was a pile of aircraft molds in front of him.
An Feng went over to say hello: "Hey, Mike!"
Mike gave him a high five and said, "Just in time for you to come, this event has the American Gun organization participating in this event, providing us with some new ideas, see these aircraft molds? We are going to assemble them for tomorrow's shooting event Use it as everyone's flying target."
"Hit a plane with a gun? Good idea!" An Feng said.
"I also think that if it is just a simple strafing, it will be a bit boring. Adding these active targets will definitely double the consumption of bullets."
An Feng said: "But I also brought a good thing, which can make this feast more visual."
"What is it?"
