Chapter 404

The Miracle Oasis in the small town of Delte, Arizona.

Of course, this is just the name the locals give themselves. The town is not well-known, and few people pay attention to it, so no one will care what it is called.

Like Humphreys, they claim to be the birthplace of American country music, but no one believes it.

However, the appearance of Delt Town is indeed a small miracle, because it was built on a piece of wasteland.

There are many deserts and wastelands in Arizona. Regardless of its size, in fact, many lands cannot support people at all. There is a lack of water and nutrients. Except for cacti, other plants cannot survive.

Delt was once such a wasteland. Later, in a crustal movement, a vein of groundwater migrated to form the Delt River.

With rivers and water, there is the possibility of life.

Later, some cowboys came to the pen to raise cattle and sheep. Slowly, some people saw the lack of grass in the pastures, and they gradually established farms.

Delt is a lot like Holbrooke, with scarce resources and fierce competition between farming and livestock.

But it didn't become a place of vendetta, because at first the local farms served the ranches, and some farms were even opened by relatives of the ranchers.

So far, Delt is still very peaceful. Perhaps there are not many resources and people have little money, but it is comfortable and relaxing here.

Turis and the others came to the town together, and the trucks lined up along the road, passing through a piece of red rock, and the town appeared in their field of vision.

"Maybe we can get some outdoor products this time. You see, many outdoor travel enthusiasts appear here." Bearded Carl said to his partner Dickens.

Dickens asked strangely: "When did this place attract outdoor travelers?"

Carl's beard curled up, and he said, "God knows the answer. These guys are all crazy. Why don't you take a good rest when you have time?"

They were chatting, when someone waved on the road, Dickens stopped the car and asked, "What are you doing?"

A young man in jeans grinned: "Man, can you give me a ride? My car broke down and I have to go back to get tools to fix it."

This kind of thing is very common on the roads in the United States. When there are more cars, there will be more breakdowns.

Dickens opened the car door and said, "Come on!"

"Thanks," the young man in denim said with a smile, "Why do you have so many trucks here? I have lived in Delte for 25 years, and this is the first time I have seen so many trucks coming in."

The bearded Carl said: "We're here to participate in the warehouse auction. You have a warehouse company here that is going to hold an auction. We want to see if we can get something good."

The young man asked in surprise: "Warehouse auction? Is the Prague warehouse company going to hold an auction? What can there be? Only worthless waste?"

Dickens winked at him and said, "We are treasure hunters, and we are best at finding good things from worthless waste."

The young man shrugged and said: "Really? As far as I know, the Prague warehouse company is about to close down. I remember that no one rented it for a long time. I didn't expect there to be something inside."

They were chatting, and Beard and Dickens learned about the town from the youth, so as to help them dig out valuable goods at tomorrow's auction.

When we arrived in the town, the truck stopped in front of a grocery store, and the young man jumped out of the driveway: "I'm here, I hope you can find good things in Delte."

A middle-aged man walked out of the grocery store and asked, "Tori, who is this?"

The young man introduced: "They are treasure pickers, and they came to participate in the warehouse auction."

The middle-aged man nodded and said, "Oh, that's it. It's really busy recently. I saw trucks driving into the town two nights ago. I thought someone was coming to buy something."

"They're not buying, they're here to deliver." The grocery store owner said leisurely at the door, "I don't understand these people, they were Californians who came here two days ago."

The bearded Carl and Dickens exchanged glances, and the latter asked, "Californian?"

"Yes, some guys from California, although they told me that they are from Tucson, but am I deaf? Can't I hear their California sissy?" The boss said disdainfully.

Dickens bought two Cokes and said, "Is there a guy leading a dog?"

"Yes, two Rottweilers. I didn't expect those sissies to have such good dogs."

The bearded Carl took a deep breath and said, "Damn it, it's Pol and York!"

Stayed in Delt, and in the afternoon, they drove to the Prague Warehouse Company, the only warehouse company in the town.

As the young man said, this warehouse company seems to be closing down, the warehouses are in disrepair, some warehouses still have grass growing on them, and the warehouse doors are old-fashioned iron doors with rust spots on them.

But the warehouse was clean, and someone was packing things into the warehouse. Dickens walked over and asked, "Hey, buddy, is this your warehouse?"

The man said with a local accent: "Of course, what's wrong with the place where I store tools?"

"Oh it's all right."

Dickens and Beard Carl are learning from Li Du, stepping on the spot ahead of time, but they can't step on anything, it's just that the calf learns from the big cow and shit.

The warehouse company is small in scale, only thirty or forty.

Dickens walked around quickly and said with a smile, "This must be the smallest warehouse company I've ever seen."

The bearded Carl said: "It's enough to have a good product. I just got the news that there may be a small tractor here. Get it!"

Dickens immediately became interested: "Tractor? Very good!"

Some warehouses had broken iron doors. Seeing that there was no one around, they cut a hole with the self-defense dagger they carried with them, and looked inside with a flashlight.

The light illuminated the darkness, and then Dickens' eyes lit up, and he said, "Come and see, what is that?"

Just as the bearded Carl was about to get close, a security guard came out and shouted, "What are you doing?"

If it was just an ordinary viewing, the warehouse company would not care about it, but the two of them opened someone's door with a dagger, which is illegal.

Without saying a word, the two quickly lowered their heads and ran away.

As they drove away, Bearded Carl asked Dickens, "What did you see, man?"

"Some cowhide and polished cow skulls, Mader, are all good things. It seems that Delt is not as barren as the legends outside!" Dickens said excitedly.

There was no way to pick up these things, and the cowhide was placed more clearly, so they passed on the news when they went back.

The reason why they do this is to gain a higher status. The status of treasure pickers can be maintained not only by earning ability, but also by information channels.

The warehousing auction industry is very connected, and whoever has more information channels will have a higher status and more popularity.
