America: Starting with Daily Intelligence

Chapter 87 All-Out Sprint

Zhang Ailun added the fake document dealer as a friend on social media and paid him a $100 deposit.

The two parties reached a cooperation agreement. Zhang Ailun was told to wait for further notice, which would take about two to three days. After that, the two parted ways and left the No. 26 bus station.

As afternoon approached, Zhang Ailun did not return directly to the bridge cave camp, but instead chose to go to the Green Letter Containment Center to help Reina unload the cargo.

Everyone else at the shelter was on paid leave, except for Reina, who was on duty alone. It would definitely take her half a day to unload all that cargo. Since they were all on the same side, Zhang Ailun decided not to charge her this time. They were all family, so why be so formal?

Returning to the Green Letter shelter felt like coming home.

Several trucks belonging to non-profit organizations were parked on the side of the road, and several drivers, each with a cup of coffee or milk tea, were discussing the car accident that had occurred on the highway the previous day.

Zhang Ailun didn't see the familiar white driver from last time, so he figured it must be one of the unlucky drivers who had the accident.

He started helping unload the goods around 1 p.m. and worked until 4 p.m. Without hourly pay, Zhang Ailun didn't work that hard and was quite relaxed.

The truck driver didn't say anything; on the contrary, he thought this was normal work efficiency. "Right, we're all just here to work, why are you being so inefficient?"

They weren't locals, so they had time to go out and wander around, buying some local specialties for their families. Unfortunately, most of the larger stores in the area had been shut down, and they had to walk twenty minutes to another block to buy things.

When they returned after shopping, the relief supplies in the truck had been completely emptied, Reina signed the delivery order, and saw the driver off.

"You did a good job. Although it took a little more time than last time, I'm still very satisfied. My dear Mr. Allen, what kind of reward would you like?" Reina straddled Zhang Allen, drawing circles on his chest with her finger.

"I want to take a shower first. I'm covered in sweat." Zhang Ailun didn't feel too tired this time, but he was wondering if Reina's appetite was a bit too big?

Didn't I just feed you this morning?

"I'll go get your clothes ready and test the water temperature." Reina smiled charmingly, got up, and swayed her hips as she went upstairs.

Zhang Ailun glanced at the time, only thinking about finishing the battle quickly and not wasting too much energy.

After lying in the chair and resting with my eyes closed for a few minutes, I heard Reina calling my name.

Zhang Ailun got up, locked the doors and windows, and went upstairs. When he arrived at the second-floor bathroom, he pushed open the door and found the room full of steam. Reina had already measured the water temperature for him.

Turning my head, I also noticed various small toys placed on the table, all of which I didn't remember much about yesterday.

Reina smiled slightly: "While you were leaving this morning, I also went to the supermarket in the next block and bought some nice things. Would you like to try them?"

I picked up a pink massager, pressed a button, and it started up with a buzz.

"Do I have the right to refuse?" Zhang Ailun gasped. Unable to bear seeing her in pain, he closed the door and went to help her.

Soon, the theme song for pay-per-view programs began to play in the bathroom.

……

It was around 6 p.m. when Dominic called Zhang Ailun.

Completely absorbed in the moment, Zhang Ailun almost forgot what he was supposed to do and answered the phone without thinking.

"Hey! Allen! Don't you think I forgot something? Why did a repair shop call me and tell me to come pick up my RV? And they want me to pay $460 for maintenance!" Dominic asked, puzzled, on the other end of the phone.

Zhang Ailun glanced at the time. Several hours had passed already? He didn't even realize it.

First-person immersive recoil control.

He immediately replied, "I understand, I'll go to the store right away to pay and pick up the car."

"You really bought a motorhome? When did that happen?!" Dominic was completely stunned.

At first, he thought it was a scam call, but the other party was able to accurately describe his personal information and the general appearance of his friend. If the other party hadn't said that the RV belonged to an Asian person, he would have hung up the phone immediately.

"It happened in the last few days. It's not a new RV, and I couldn't afford one anyway. I bought it from a used car repair shop in the suburbs. You'll see the details when you see the RV."

Zhang Ailun explained, "Do you have time now, Dominic? If you do, go to the store and wait for me. You know my situation; driving in the city is quite risky."

"Of course I have time," Dominic readily agreed. "You have no idea how efficient we are! Everything is so much easier now that we have garbage trucks. We collected over four thousand cans today alone! Adding the profits Eddie and his team made from begging, plus other valuables, we earned a total of $400!"

"This is really good news!" Zhang Ailun's emotions also soared.

Reina covered her mouth, trying her best to keep herself from making a sound.

"Are you taking a shower? Why is there a splashing sound over there?" Dominic asked in surprise.

"I'm still busy, buddy. I'll come find you as soon as I'm done. It won't take much time."

Zhang Ailun hung up the phone and decided to take a two-pronged approach, going all out to make a final push.

"OK." Dominic listened to the dial tone and felt confused.

Sig, chewing gum beside him, asked in confusion, "What's going on? Did Allen really buy the RV? Is he that rich?"

"It is him, but I don't know the details of that RV yet. We'll find out if we go over there together," Dominic replied.

"You go by yourself, I won't go with you. I contacted an old friend, and he said he can sell me a batch of handy weapons at a low price."

Sig took out the cell phone he had received for free at a shelter on the street and counted the banknotes he had on hand; it was basically enough.

His biggest advantage after regaining his veteran status was that he could legally own a gun.

California has the strictest gun control. Ordinary people can only obtain a gun purchase license if they have no criminal record, no drug use, no domestic violence, no mental illness, and have a green card and legal ID.

However, having a gun purchase permit is not the same as having a gun license.

Ordinary citizens who buy guns must lock them in a cabinet at home. If they want to carry a gun on the street, they must pass an exam and apply for a CCW (Concealed Carrying Permit), which is extremely difficult to obtain and is virtually impossible for ordinary people.

Coincidentally, Sieg had all the necessary documents. He had planned to work in security or open a gun shop after his military service, and he needed all the necessary documents. Now his identity and validity period had been restored.

Even if it is legal to carry a gun on the street, one cannot easily fire it.

Sig wouldn't carry a gun on the street unless absolutely necessary; he would just buy a few extra and keep them at home as backup.

When trouble arises, not firing a gun is actually the most effective deterrent.

Yesterday's series of tense and exciting security experiences left Sieg feeling somewhat anxious.

After all, he doesn't have Zhang Ailun's skills. He's barely good enough to deal with ordinary people. What if he runs into a crazy black guy?

A typical black man using a Taser can't completely withstand a Taser's attack by relying solely on his physical strength; he'd need several real guns to handle it!
