The arrival of the police brought some trouble to Li Du, but Li Du did not regret using the stun gun. After Princeps was taken away, it was quiet and he was in a good mood.
They did not find the stun gun, and the matter was not serious. The police warned Li Du to behave himself at the border and then drove away.
They were now at the critical point of the border. A few hundred meters away was a row of long and tall iron fences. This was the famous "U.S.-Mexico Iron Wall," known as the North American version of the Berlin Wall.
This iron fence was not like some sports fields or houses, which were surrounded by a circle of barbed wire. The main trunk of the fence was a vertical steel column, which stretched into the distance.
Li Du looked at the iron fence and sighed. "This is like a huge harp, but it does not play beautiful music."
Hans said, "Like a harp? Why does it look like an iron cage to me, with Godzilla or a dinosaur on the other side? We are in Jurassic World, right? "
Godzilla said, "I was imprisoned there."
Hans laughed and said, "Ha, I'm not talking about you."
Godzilla shrugged. The other side of the iron fence was his hometown.
He walked towards the iron fence. On the other side was a desert, with endless yellow sand covering the ground. It was a sad feeling.
On the metal fence, there was a wooden board at a distance, with some big words scribbled on it: "U.S.-Mexico border, United States of America."
Li Du felt that this endless fence was the strangest border in the world. It looked very rigid.
Besides, could this kind of fence stop stowaways? Anyway, after looking at it, Li Du had an urge to flip through it.
Seeing that he kept looking at the fence, Hans asked, "Do you want to go over and have a look? You haven't been to Mexico, have you? "
Li Du shook his head. "No, but I'm not interested in breaking the law."
Hans laughed and said, "Not over it. We can go to the border passage. You just need to show your visa and you can stay in Mexico for a while."
Li Du was surprised. "That works? I don't have a green card. "
Hans said, "You can pass if you have a visa. If you have a green card, a local driver's license, or a health insurance card, you can pass directly."
Not only was a student visa useful, but even a tourist visa could allow one to travel between the United States and Mexico at the same time.
But the most important thing right now was to check the things in the warehouse. The border warehouse was very big, taking up dozens of hectares. There were many houses built inside, big and small, and they were all warehouses.
Compared to commercial storage companies, the management here was much stricter. There were border police patrolling with guns.
When Li Du and the others got closer, they were chased away by the police. "Don't come any closer, this is not a tourist area, stay away!"
Hans was not afraid of the police. He raised his hand and said, "We don't want to go inside. Can't we just walk around here? Also, is this how you treat taxpayers?! "
The police officer glared at him coldly and did not continue to speak. However, he did not stop them from approaching the warehouse either.
Hans shrugged helplessly and said, "I don't think we can get in. Buddy, let's forget about it. Let's go eat in Mexico?"
Li Du said, "If we can't go in, then we'll walk around outside. Princeps and the rest must have been walking around outside just now, right?"
"Up to you." Hans spread his hands and returned to the car.
The warehouse covered a large area. Li Du let the little bug fly in to take a look. There seemed to be dozens or even hundreds of warehouses.
A few electric transport vehicles were driving inside. There were numbers on the warehouses, and Li Du let the little bug go closer to take a look.
The first warehouse he looked at was not the first one to be auctioned. This warehouse was closest to his current position, and it was warehouse number 65.
The little bug flew in. There was nothing that attracted it, but some boards. These boards were wrapped in canvas and leaned against each other. They were some brownish-yellow wooden boards.
Li Du pondered for a moment and felt that these were not ordinary wooden boards. Otherwise, they would not have been wrapped so carefully.
He used his ability to turn back time and carefully looked at the wooden boards.
Starting from this warehouse, he quickly and carefully looked at the other warehouses one by one. If he felt that it was useful, he noted it down.
From afternoon until sunset, he looked at a total of 55 warehouses, but there were still hundreds of warehouses that he had not looked at.
This was going to be a large-scale auction, and almost all the warehouses inside would be auctioned off.
The border administration and customs had always been like this. If they did not auction, it would be fine. But once they started, they would definitely hold a large-scale auction.
Seeing this, Li Du could not stand it anymore. The little bug had used too much energy. He was hungry and tired, and needed a lot of rest.
The rest could only wait until tomorrow or the day after. He had time. This auction would last at least four to five days, and he could take his time.
Therefore, even if he could not finish looking at the warehouses, he did not regret it. The reason why he could not come earlier was because Li Du and Sophie had been together for the past few days.
Compared to the time with Sophie, the most valuable warehouse was worthless.
Swaying back to the car, Li Du drank two hot chocolate drinks in a row.
"Cold?" Hans asked.
Li Du shook his head. "Not cold, just tired."
Hans wondered, "You're just wandering around outside. How can you be so tired?"
Li Du pushed him and said, "Go out and try. You'll know how tired it is. Besides, I still have to use my family's secret skills to check the approximate value of these warehouses."
Hans smiled and drove, and the few of them left the warehouse.
Instead of going back to the hotel, they drove to the border checkpoint. Next to it was a Mexican town that had a lot of delicious food.
Hans said, "I'll treat you to the most authentic Mexican food."
When they reached the border checkpoint, it was temporarily closed. Some people in volunteer uniforms were busy. Li Du heard someone ask, "Did you find it?"
"Yes, we found it, but it's too late," an elderly female volunteer said with a heavy heart.
"What's wrong?" Li Du asked, puzzled.
Someone was speaking in Spanish. Godzilla listened for a while and said, "A pair of siblings wanted to sneak into the United States from Mexico. They wanted to climb over the iron wall, but they were discovered. To avoid being caught, they ran into the desert.
"The volunteers have been looking for them, not to catch them, but because they know the dangers of the desert. Now, they've been found. "
"Are they okay?" Li Du asked.
Godzilla shook his head. "From the time they left until they were discovered, a total of four days had passed. The older sister was 14, and the younger brother was 6. "
"Sh * t!" Hans scolded in a heavy tone.
This sudden incident made Li Du's heart heavy. This was life. Some people at the bottom had to not only try their best to survive, but also rely on good luck.
