Chapter 260 Shooting Exhibition
The next day, everyone got up obviously earlier than yesterday. When they were having breakfast in the hotel, they would listen to everyone talk about some new things. An Feng lived in the United States for a long time and felt that the rhythm was normal when he integrated into the environment, but in their eyes, there were many differences and disagreements.
From traffic rules to regional customs, after real experience, to be honest, there are also good and bad things. Ye Ning said of his experience last night: "I drove out for a walk, and there were many homeless people, and in some dark places outside the long street, some old blacks were taking drugs openly."
Wang Le looked up: "How do you know it's drug use?"
"The police arrested him behind!" Ye Ning explained, "I thought I was 1.85 meters tall and weighed 90 kilograms in the crowd, but those old black bodies made me feel bad. They were so strong, but they just pointed the police at gunpoint and knocked them to the ground. After beating them up, they were handcuffed and taken away."
An Feng is not surprised: "Blacks often provoke police officers very much. Don't take American police officers high. Those who follow rules are serious officials. Most of the people on duty are not particular. They don't say racial discrimination, but they have it in their hearts that people of color cannot talk to the police."
Ye Ning said: "It makes sense. Most domestic police officers focus on advice and are careful when using guns. American police directly draw their guns and beat them up. In addition, the day and night give people the feeling of opposition. The day is orderly and chaotic at night."
Wang Le said: "Actually, you can understand this way, treating 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 nodded with a smile: "That's what it feels."
An Feng also smiled. It was quite interesting to chat with some domestic friends occasionally, and it was very relaxing.
...
After breakfast, they set out again.
It's still in Nevada now, and it's more than 2,000 kilometers away from Austin.
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 1930s and is also a major project for mankind. Anfeng once saw it once, it was very spectacular, but it was still a bit worse than the Three Gorges.
The naming of Hoover Dam is also a bit tortuous. It was named after "Hoover" at the beginning. As a result, after the Hungry President stepped down, the Democratic Party changed it to "Bald Dam". Then the Republican Party gained power again and changed its name back, and has been using the name "Hoover" until now.
This shows that the power struggle between the two parties is extremely fierce.
Before they board the bridge, police will come to check if there are any explosives or something.
Wang Le said in confusion: "Isn't this dam claimed to be able to withstand nuclear attacks by the United States? Why are you still worried about this explosive?"
An Feng shrugged: "Who knows, there is also the time when the dam was built. It seems that nuclear weapons have not been officially used yet?"
Wang Le grabbed his head and laughed: "You can really blow it!"
Since I passed by, it was good to see it. The scenery around the dam was OK, but some people were curious: "What will happen after the explosion?"
An Feng thought for a moment, then said: "It is estimated that Las Vegas can raise fish all day long, and residents can upgrade their sea view rooms for free."
"This is awesome!" Wang Le said.
As we walked in front, the sharp-eyed man found something interesting again. Ye Ning pointed to the sign next to the dam, and curiosity came: "Dam safety area? It's really interesting... Why is the alarm phone number below not 911? Is this string of numbers a fast dedicated line for American urban management?"
"This..." An Feng said he had never thought about it at all.
There are too many problems. An Feng and Wang Le can't handle it...but it's still quite fun. Everyone has to go out to play. No matter how good the scenery is, it's versatile without a good mood. These people happen to be able to make up for the second place. They have a very good mentality on the road and can cause laughter in anything.
After visiting the dam, they continued to set off. They still had four or five hundred kilometers to go to see the Grand Canyon of the United States. An Feng had seen it in the air, but he had not tried it, so he set up GPS. He advanced all the way. After leaving the casino, the scenery on the road became monotonous and boring.
This is the most typical western highway landscape. The straight road is separated by the spacious isolation belt in the middle of the road and spreads to the end of the view. The sky is blue and white clouds above, and the road is surrounded by desert wastelands on both sides. The plants and trees grow weakly, and the desolate landscape in the west is fully visible.
The unchanging scenery is easy to get sleepy. 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."
I was talking to the cars behind the radio station, and they also planned to change people to drive, so they parked on the side of the road together and opened the door to get out of the car. The air suddenly became much colder. I didn't feel clear in the car, but now it was the weather in December, and the colder the more you go inland.
Everyone put on clothes and changed their clothes to continue driving.
The sunset gradually landed behind them, and the Grand Canyon finally arrived. We drove forward along the road specially opened for tourists, and came to some of the most classic scenic spots. Get off the bus and stand at the viewing point where tourists travel the most, look at the river canyon below, and experience this natural magnificence.
An Feng pointed to a river beach that was washed out due to the steering of the river in the distance and said, "What a familiar scene, I have seen it on the computer desktop."
"Yeah, yes." Joanna leaned against him to keep warm.
An Feng enjoyed the tranquility and warmth, and the friends over there started to make a fuss. They boldly walked to the edge of the cliff and asked their companions to take photos. Everyone stood together behind them, and then greeted An Feng and Joanna, walked over and went with them. Behind them was a deep abyss, a click of the picture was as a souvenir.
But it was a bit cold outside. After the fuss, they got into the car and blew the heat. They returned to a nearby city and had a very exotic Mexican meal together. Small towns in the United States are different from big cities. They are very quiet and have good security - because there are many big belly policemen who are out there, and they just go door to door to say hello to others when they are idle, just like the sheriff Johnson of Paso Robler.
I slept earlier this time because tomorrow they would need to cross New Mexico and run 900 kilometers. There are also some national parks in New Mexico, but everyone is not interested and prefers large-scale shooting activities in Texas, so I refuel the next day and drive in at full speed.
There are few vehicles on straight Interstate 40. Vehicles can be very high. Whether it is an RV or a truck, if you are slower, they will buzz past you. According to the American driving practice, regardless of the speed limit. When others are fast, you can also be fast.
The speed was between 130 and 140 per hour, and he ran for hundreds of kilometers when he looked at the monotonous desert scenery outside the window. After that, he stopped to adjust and went to the store to buy something, and changed the driver to continue running the remaining distance. He arrived in Texas in about 9 hours and stopped in the small town of Amarillo.
We continued to move the next day. Although it was already in Texas, its land area was too large. We still had to run more than 800 kilometers and there were many forks. In order to arrive before dark, we patiently studied the route and chose the most reasonable one. The scenery on the road finally changed.
Wang Le, who was driving, said bored: "Hey, have you discovered it? I feel that Texas is not very popular with other Americans."
An Feng hugged Joanna who was sleeping. He looked out the window and said, "Look at the surroundings. In addition to the developed industry, it is a backward countryside. There are many Mexican descendants in the area, who are relatively wild and have had independence in history, so it must be quite special."
"That's right." Wang Le nodded. "Next time the Americans always talk about the domestic frontier issues, the domestic should use this to fight back."
"I strongly support the independence of the Republic of Texas." An Feng quoted a famous online quote.
"Not bad! Not bad!" Wang Le laughed.
...
After five days of traveling, they finally arrived at their destination after driving a express train.
Considering that Anfeng's wooden house cannot accommodate so many people, it is necessary to find a hotel in a nearby town. Usually, don't think about this kind of small hotel, but American-style tels (motels) are almost everywhere. As long as there are people, there will be tels. It should be easy to think about it.
But the truth is, they were wrong again.
Two hotels were full in a row. An Feng glanced at the cars at the door. The license plates were not all from Texas, but also from some surrounding areas. He also heard a waitress at the restaurant that many people took advantage of the holiday to participate in shooting activities, and it was more than that.
They walked farther behind and finally found two rooms that had not been attacked.
If these people in the team were optimistic, Ye Ning smiled and said, "When in the casino, the waiter would have to wait in line for half an hour to enter the hotel. The relationship here is good, so you can park the car at the door of the room and get off the car and snore."
"Then you should give a five-star rating." Wang Le said with a smile.
An Feng arranged their accommodation, ate some food, and returned with Wang Le.
...
I woke up early the next day.
This small place looks like a rural area in the suburbs, and there is nothing to play with. They all came to Anfeng's gun shop. Wang Le drove the hmmwv out to open his eyes to these people. After Anfeng got up, he prepared some bread and milk with Joanna. After having a simple meal, he drove to the gun shop.
The next day of the national shooting activity will start and last for two days and two nights. Today, it is still in preparation. When Anfeng stopped, Wang Le and the guys were watching around the military vehicle and watching indifferently. Anfeng got out of the car and greeted them: "Let's go inside and take a look. It's fun in the rear."
Everyone walked into the gun shop and opened their eyes again.
Even Wang Le, who had experienced the size of the gun shop, said: "It feels like it gets bigger and bigger, it's a bit like a military factory!"
Thanks to An Feng's big investment, it can be said that there are weapons sold on the market, and they can be found here. There are even some out-of-prints placed in glass cabinets to display. There are only two guys in the gun shop, and the rest are in the open-air shooting range in the backyard, and gunshots can be heard vaguely.
"Please choose a weapon first and try the feel at the back." An Feng told everyone that considering that there were many new players, he also called a guy to guide them. Everyone came to the backyard with their favorite weapons. There were many gun friends. Mike pointed and pointed at the next to him, with a bunch of airplane molds in front of him.
An Feng went over and said hello: "Hey, Mike!"
Mike brimmed with him and said, "You're here just right. The American gun organization participated in this event, which gave us some new ideas. Have you seen these aircraft molds? We're going to assemble them and use them in tomorrow's shooting event, as everyone's flying targets."
"Water a gun to shoot an airplane? Good idea!" said An Feng.
"I also think that if you just shoot it, it will inevitably be a bit boring. Adding these targets to the activity will definitely cost the bullets exponentially."
An Feng said: "But I also bring something good to make this feast more visual."
