889. Slums (3/5)
His understatement caused a sensation at the scene. A group of treasure pickers were shocked. Several people asked in unison: "Are you kidding?"
Li Du smiled and said, "If you have friends you know in the local area, you can find out about it. I should be a little famous in the town."
Conrad's eyes were straightened and he shouted, "Impossible, what do you think money is? Do you think it's waste paper? Get whatever you want?"
Hans looked at him and said, "Whatever you say, even if you don't talk about the gem veins in Lightning Ridge, just say we are fishing for black gold abalone in Tasmania. We have made millions of dollars. I won't say the specific amount, and you won't believe it if you say it."
Even the magician was shocked: "It's so profitable to catch black gold abalone? How many millions have been spent in half a year?"
Hans introduced him to the sea girl, and also introduced that they helped solve a child trafficking case in Australia and then received government rewards, so that they could fish for black gold abalone all year round.
What he did not introduce was that Li Du was good at locating black gold abalone, and they found a black gold abalone survival area, which was surrounded by gem veins.
Children's trafficking cases can be easily found online, and information about the government and fishing bureaus upgrading their fishing licenses can be found. These people can just check them online.
In this way, Li Du and Hans became stars in the party. Whether they were members of the millions of clubs or the treasure-picking kings, they all gathered around them to inquire about related matters.
Conrad and the Head of State were extremely envious and jealous, but they could do nothing and did not even have the courage to question Li Du and Hans.
At this time, doubts are useless, and people will only be ridiculed for not being able to eat grapes and say that the grapes are sour.
The next day, led by Chris Bell, a team of many treasure pickers drove towards the southern part of Los Angeles in a car.
The north-south development of Angel City is very uneven, and the northern region is much more developed than the southern region, which can be seen from the housing prices.
Li Du has been to the southern part of Los Angeles. At that time, they went to Long Beach and thought it was a good place with beautiful scenery and many tourists.
The place I went to this time was called Habersier, a famous slum.
Habersel is not far from Long Beach, and there are only two stops in the subway. Such a close distance is the difference between heaven and hell.
As he drove all the way, the car drove into Habersel.
Along the way, Li Du saw all the low bungalows, rusty colored steel tiled houses, and dilapidated brick and tile houses. When he continued to look south, he could see the famous tall buildings in Long Beach.
When they arrived at Habersel, 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 pedal of the pickup truck and looked forward and backward, comparing the differences between the two regions, he exclaimed: "I can't believe, is this a city? The difference is too big."
Hans has been in Los Angeles and knows the city very well.
He listened to the rap Eminem rapping the keyboard and said, "If you fly over Los Angeles, you'll be even more shocked."
Li Du looked into the North Pole and asked, "The north is more luxurious, right? Beverly Hills is there, we have been there."
"Yes, Beverly Hills has a bunch of Hollywood stars, which is a high-end residential area. Then there is Malibu, the beachfront villa area for Jewish financiers and capitalists."
Hans counted for him and said, "San Marino is simply a forest city. Living in it can breathe the freshest air every day. There is also the Huntington Manor, Pasadena, which is very famous in the United States..."
He introduced and shook his head: "There are countless people, man, this is the case in Los Angeles. The name of Angel City is not for free. Those places are where angels live, and that is paradise on earth."
The police have been blocking the road, and everyone has been unable to move forward for a long time. Of course, it is not only them, but other vehicles and pedestrians have also been blocked.
Bell went to the supermarket next to buy coffee and gave it to them one by one to calm their emotions.
Li Du took a cup and asked, "What's wrong?"
Bell sighed: "This is the Los Angeles anti-drug police. Habersell has a synthetic giant. It is very cheap. Many homeless people will save money to smoke, but it is very dangerous. More than thirty people have been sent to the hospital."
"It's Galaxy X," the magician walked over and said, "This thing is quite cheap, and it costs one dose to attract a large number of poor people. Many slums have become popular."
Li Du said in surprise: "Every dollar per dose, these people still have to save money to buy it? What is the poverty they have to be?"
Hans patted his 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. Anyone who goes in will become a ghost."
Bell said seriously: "Our mission is to save them, and of course, we only save the souls who long for light."
Li Dumu nodded. He had no sense of belonging to the United States, and it was not his turn to save the people from fire and water. However, 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 succeed, but this does not prevent him from admiring those who work hard for it. Bell is the one he admires.
He also admired Bell's connections. A sheriff who blocked the road was an acquaintance with him. When he found him, he came over to say hello.
The sheriff is tall and burly, bald and wide-mouthed, and looks a bit similar to the famous movie star Bruce Willis.
"Hi Chris, come here to do good things?" the sheriff said.
Bell laughed, "Do what we should do, Officer Willis, how is the situation now? My guy said you are sweeping Starlight x?"
Sheriff Willis nodded and said, "Yes, the damn Starlight X, you'd better not come here lately. This is the hardest hit area, and a group of lunatics have emerged."
"It's just a sucking of numbness, so serious?" Hans asked in surprise.
As soon as he heard his words, Li Du knew that this guy must have sucked this thing.
Sheriff Willis was not surprised and looked at him and said, "Do you think this thing is the same as what you sucked? Ha, childish, if you take a few breaths of this thing, you will become irritable, nervous, speechless, vomit, sweat and even have epilepsy."
"What's more serious is that the second-hand smoke of this thing is also lethal. My friend, I, went into the house for a while. This poor guy didn't wear a mask and was sent to the hospital."
"Then why do they still suck it?" Li Du asked.
Sheriff Willis looked at him curiously and said, "Where is this little angel from? Haha, this is the most interesting question I have heard this year."
He paused and asked Li Du, "You are like the Holy Son, you are a treasure picker, right?"
