Chapter 1124 Inspection (1/2)
The arrival of the police brought Li Du some trouble. However, he did not regret using
his taser gun. After Princeps was taken away, it was peaceful around Li Du and he felt
more at ease.
As they did not manage to find the taser gun and because it was not a serious issue,
the policemen only gave Li Du a warning before they left, telling him not to make trouble
by the border.
They were now almost exactly at the border. A few hundred meters away was a long
and high iron fence. That was the infamous 'US-Mexico Iron Wall'. It was known as
North America's version of the Berlin Wall.
That iron fence was unlike those at sports fields or around houses. The fence was
fundamentally a row of straight, vertical steel columns. The end of the fence could not
be distinguished as the row went down too far to be seen.
Looking at the steel fence, Li Du sighed. ”It is just like a huge harp, but it does not play
beautiful music.”
Hans said, ”Just like a harp? The way I see it, it looks like a steel cage. It feels like it is
keeping things like Godzilla or dinosaurs on the other side, and we are in the Jurassic
world, right?”
Godzilla said, ”I have indeed been detained there.”
Hans started to laugh. ”Ha, I'm not talking about you.”
Godzilla shrugged. The other side of the steel fence was where he came from.
He walked towards the fence. On the opposite side, there was a desert, yellow sand
covering the land in front. A sense of melancholy was in the air.
A piece of wood was attached to the fence not far from them. With some difficulty, one
could make out the words, 'The US-Mexico border, the United States of America.'
Li Du thought that the fence looked like there was no end to it. It was the strangest
border in the world and looked very rigid.
Moreover, could this fence stop people from sneaking over? Anyway, after Li Du saw it,
he had an impulse to try and go over to the other side.
Seeing that Li Du was inspecting the steel fence, Hans asked, ”Do you want to take a
look on the other side? You haven't been to Mexico, right?”
Li Du shook his head. ”Never been there, but I have no interest in breaking the law.”
Hans started to smile. ”There's no need to sneak over, we can go to the border custom.
You just have to produce your visa and you can stay in Mexico for some time.”
Li Du was surprised. ”That can be done? I have no green card.”
Hans said, ”You can go through with a visa. If you have a green card or local driver's
license, or an insurance card, you can go through even more easily.”
Not even a student visa was required. One could visit both America and Mexico with
just a tourist visa.
However, the more important task at hand was for them was to check out the items in
the warehouse. The border warehouse was huge and took up dozen of hectares. There
were many houses within that territory, large and small, and they were all warehouses.
Compared to the business warehouse companies, the management at the smuggler
warehouse was much stricter. There were border inspectors patrolling with guns in their
hands.
When Li Du and his group came near the warehouse, they received warnings from the
police. ”Do not come near, this is not a tourist site, get further away!”
Hans bore no fear against the police. Raising both his hands, he said, ”We are not
planning to get in. We are just walking around this area. Can't we do that? And also,
how can you treat taxpayers this way?”
The policeman stared at him coldly but did not say more. He did not stop them from
going closer to the warehouse either.
Hans shrugged and said, ”I don't think we can get in. Buddy, let's call it a day and go
have a meal in Mexico.”
Li Du said, ”If we can't get in, then let's just walk around the outside. Just now Princeps
and his people must have also been loitering outside.”
”Up to you,” Hans walked back to the car by himself.
The warehouse occupied a large area. Li Du released the little bug for a look inside.
