Looking at the names of the storage companies listed for the auction, Li Du decided to stay in Los Angeles for the rest of August. With so many storage units, there was bound to be something.
He called Godzilla and asked him to drive over and bring his crossbow.
Los Angeles was the territory of Frank Boll and York. He had offended both of them before, and if they were to meet again, there might be trouble.
They got up early in the morning. Hans rented a pickup truck and the three of them drove to the storage company to see if there was anything valuable.
Los Angeles was the largest county in the United States. It was a metropolitan area that radiated to the surrounding vast areas. It was difficult to move around without a car.
The first storage unit was located next to the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels. It was called "Devout Heart Storage Company." It was a medium-sized unit with hundreds of storage units.
The Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels was one of the most famous churches in Los Angeles. It was similar to the Church of the Holy Cross in Flagstaff, but bigger and more magnificent.
The church was a combination of Gothic elements and bold modern design. It was built less than ten years ago and looked very new and magnificent.
Big Quinn was a devout Christian. When they arrived at the storage company, the two of them went to check on the storage units while Big Quinn toured.
There were only five storage units that Devout Heart wanted to auction. Li Du released the little bug and made a quick decision. "Let's go. There's no money to be made here."
The five storage units were all ordinary household storage units. Almost all of them were filled with household garbage. Li Du was not interested in them at all.
After leaving the storage company, the cathedral was just outside. Li Du thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to the church."
Hans said, "What's wrong? Have you embraced God?"
Li Du said, "Don't talk nonsense here. Be careful not to get beaten up!"
The church was built in 2002 and was full of artistic atmosphere. When he walked in, soft light shone in through the alabaster windows, making the church look especially bright and peaceful.
Behind the pulpit, an organ band was playing. Big Quinn knelt in front of the statue of Our Lady and prayed with his hands clasped together.
Li Du walked over and heard someone whisper, "Our Lady will not forgive him. I bet that guy is definitely a killer!"
"No, he's a thug, the kind that works for a gang."
"Anyway, may Our Lady and God forgive his sins."
Li Du did not know whether to laugh or cry. This American was also very good at judging people by their appearance.
He had come to the church because he had seen the free postcards and was looking for two nice ones to mail to Sophie.
It turned out that these postcards were not limitless. There was a daily quota, and the distribution had already ended.
Some of the tourists had received the postcards, and a few of them were appreciating it.
So Li Du went over and asked politely, "Excuse me, can I buy your postcards?"
A man who looked like a tour guide shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, this is our souvenir. We don't intend to sell it."
Li Du shrugged his shoulders regretfully and asked, "Do you know where I can buy these postcards?"
Hans gestured for him to calm down and said calmly, "Ten dollars each."
"No, you misunderstand, sir. We came to Los Angeles from Argentina for …"
"Twenty yuan each."
Some of the tourists at the side were tempted. Hans did not want to waste time and said, "50 dollars for one ticket!"
Immediately, someone handed him a postcard. "Sure."
Soon, Hans had bought six postcards. Li Du picked the two most beautiful ones and wrote his blessings on them. He sent one to Sophie's hospital and one to her home.
He did not want to waste the remaining four, so he sent one each to Mr. and Mrs. Martin, Rose, Big Quinn's home, and Hannah.
The second storage company was located next to Beverly Hills. It was a small, exquisite storage company with more than 60 storage units, mainly for the use of the villa's residents.
Beverly Hills was full of rich people, so it was easier to find valuable items in the storage units here. Therefore, every auction would fetch a higher price.
Under such circumstances, the storage company naturally did not need to accumulate more storage units for auction. After all, they could not accumulate more storage units. After all, the total number of storage units was too small.
There were two storage units that were going to be auctioned. Li Du searched carefully and found some brand new furniture, home appliances, and a motorcycle.
These two storage units had some value, so he decided to come back later to take a look.
The downtown area of Los Angeles was congested. After visiting the two storage companies, it was already noon.
Li Du was about to find a place to eat lunch when Hans said, "Let's go to the Memorial Stadium. There's a storage company there, and I know a great Chilean restaurant there."
The Los Angeles Memorial Stadium was built in 1923. It was the city's oldest large stadium and had hosted the 1932 and 1984 Summer Olympics.
Because of the two Olympics, the stadium had become a tourist attraction. It was crowded, and by the time they drove to the restaurant, it was already two o 'clock in the afternoon.
"D * mn, why are there so many people in Los Angeles? Did everyone from all over the world come here? "Hans grumbled in dissatisfaction.
Before leaving the country, Li Du had been to the capital. He laughed at this but did not say a word. Not at all.
There was an advantage to having more people. The restaurant was open 24/7, so they could enter and order normally.
Hans ordered green Chilean peppers, smoked salted onion skewers, cheese gravy, pudding fries, and other delicacies. They also paired it with craft beer and mint lemonade. The three of them ate happily.
After lunch, they went to the third storage company. This storage company was bigger, with a total of four to five hundred storage units for rent.
The storage company was located between the Expo Park and the University of Southern California campus. It could serve both places. There were some museums nearby, so there might be good things in the storage units.
When Li Du arrived at the storage company, he was surprised to find that the storage units here had attics!
Looking at the storage units that looked like small villas, he asked, "Why do they have attics?"
Hans said, "To increase the usable space."
Li Du released the little bug and laughed casually. "Then why don't they build high-rise buildings?"
Hans rolled his eyes and said, "Are you stupid? Build a high-rise building, and then how do you throw in the useless appliances and furniture? Take the elevator? "
Li Du gave him the middle finger disdainfully. He could not be bothered with him.
The little bug flew into storage unit 22 and saw that there were some glassware in the unit. It seemed to be chemicals, and there were signs of it being used.
Considering that the University of Southern California was next to it, it was not difficult to understand. Obviously, chemical engineering or biology students had rented storage units here to do experiments.
In the glassware, there were some broken flower petals. Li Du searched and felt that they were not worth much, so there was no need to waste energy.
He was ready to leave, but saw that there was a small attic, so he let the little bug fly into the attic.
