Then the problem comes. If you want to hire a guide, you must first tell the guide where you want to go, and the address must be accurate.
In other words, the guide actually knows the exact address of the mysterious laboratory.
Unfortunately, this guide, Seawell, was a bit unreliable. After receiving their advance money, he immediately started spending money. He first went for whoring crazily, and then went on to gamble excessively. He lost everything, and was caught out of pocket.
He was beaten almost to death and is now locked up in the Bloody Dice Casino.
Madison, the boss of Bloody Dice, is not someone to be trifled with. Not only does he have a group of gunmen, but he also has a close relationship with the Scimitar's second-ranking figure, Hassad, who is stationed here.
What Delto is most worried about right now is that the guide Seawell will be tortured or given veritaserum after being arrested, and then under cross-examination, he will reveal the location of the suspected Veronica laboratory. That is the truth.
It's despairing.
Therefore, Delto could only make a decision now. Let Fang Linyan go to the line control room first for the purpose of laying out the plan and blocking the communication in the area first.
Needless to say, the next step is to break into the Bloody Dice Casino and use force to rescue people. After rescuing the guide Seawell, he immediately hit the road and headed directly to the place suspected of Veronica's laboratory.
There is a saying that goes: if you keep cutting off, you will suffer chaos.
At this time, Fang Linyan still admired Delto. Making such a decision at this time requires a considerable degree of courage.
Since Delto asked Fang Linyan to get into Sandro's car to support him, the interests of both parties were aligned, and Fang Linyan went there immediately.
At this time, the vehicle brought by Sanders was a modified special vehicle. The entire vehicle was sealed from top to bottom and could travel in extreme weather. It was as strong as an armored vehicle and also had a "Black Bat"
The ultrasonic enhanced monitoring system can continue to move forward when visibility is zero.
However, even though he was in this sturdy all-terrain vehicle, Fang Linyan still felt on tenterhooks.
Because the wind and sand are so big, according to the reading on the screen, the wind force has even reached an astonishing level eight or above, and the terrain near the town is close to the Gobi Desert, with gravel and fist-sized stones everywhere.
It was blown up by the strong wind and hit the solid body of the car with a "squeaking" sound, as if there were more than a dozen people outside banging it with a sledgehammer.
Fang Linyan couldn't help but ask Sanders:
"Such spooky weather is unlikely to occur all year round, right?"
While driving the vehicle, Sanders shook his head and said:
"It's hard to say. There are at least seventy or eighty days in a year like this. Besides, do you think this situation is over now? Tsk tsk, it's still very early."
Fang Linyan said in surprise:
"Isn't this the end of extremely bad weather?"
Sanders sneered:
"It's far from it! This kind of sandstorm weather is just a moderate one. The most violent sandstorm I've ever seen was ten years ago. When it blew up, it could even cut off a small layer of the nearby hills.
The top of the mountain! What’s even worse is that there was a magnitude 6 earthquake right after, and it took half a year for rescue to come.”
Only then did Fang Linyan realize why on the map of the town he had seen before, the trading area, military camp and refinery were all five or six kilometers apart.
It's not that the builders at that time didn't want to build it together, but because the extremely bad weather in this damn place was too brutal.
There is only so much open space here that can be sheltered from the wind. If the three places are forcibly combined, construction will not be possible at all.
Soon, the vehicle began to turn into a valley. The wind here suddenly weakened a lot, reaching level 5 or 6. A few pedestrians could be seen on the road, as well as dim neon signs of shops.
.
Sanders turned the car into an alley and stopped, then said:
"The casino is just around the corner ahead. My car is too eye-catching, so I can't go directly there."
After the car stopped, Fang Linyan realized that it was probably because of the great disturbance caused by the wind and sand that he couldn't contact Delto for a while, so he called Lim's name and asked him to accompany him to the casino to investigate.
Fan.
By the way, he also asked Ishida, who came with him, to pay him 10,000 US dollars as event expenses. The reason was very good. If you don't exchange thousands of US dollars in chips in the casino, aren't you just waiting to reveal your secret? -------This
The money was probably paid out of Ishida's own pocket, so he looked quite ugly.
Then Fang Linyan took Lim out of the car and walked to the street corner ahead, pretending to wait for someone. He observed the Bloody Dice Casino for a while, put on a hat to protect himself from the wind and sand, and wrapped his face with a scarf before leaving.
Entered the casino.
The atmosphere in the casino was completely different from the deserted streets. After passing through the gate, there were two heavy curtains to isolate the wind. Fang Linyan gave the person standing next to the curtain a tip, and the gatekeeper lifted the curtain and invited him in.
After walking in, Fang Linyan felt a rush of heat blowing against his face. He could see dozens of gambling tables inside. No matter what gamblers wanted to play, they could find gambling methods that suit their tastes here. Ten tables were arranged in an orderly manner.
Several slot machines are placed on the left side, with a few guests sitting here and there. On the right side of the casino is a place for playing darts and roulette. There is even a small bar in the center of the casino.
You can order drinks.
Then he looked at the price list and found that this place did not make money from drinks, so the prices were set very cheaply, almost at cost. He happened to be thirsty at this time, so he simply sat down and ordered a glass of "Bowmore" whiskey
Come and drink.
Fang Linyan was a little surprised as soon as he drank it. He was actually mentally prepared to drink the wine mixed with water, but he didn't expect that the taste was surprisingly mellow and it was actually authentic.
You know, even in a big city like New York, a glass of "Bowmore" whiskey of this quality costs 80 yuan, but here it is almost 100 yuan a glass. Considering the remote distance here, it is really a reasonable price.
.
At this time, it was very windy and sandy outside, and Fang Linyan's outfit was almost standard for pedestrians on the street, so it was not noticeable. He took the opportunity to drink and began to look at the general situation in the casino.
In such terrible weather, the casino's attendance rate was actually pretty good, with at least thirty or forty guests.
Fang Linyan even discovered that there were five or six soldiers among these guests. Although they were wearing casual clothes, their special temperament and flat hair style made them easy to identify. They also had an unscrupulous smell about them, and they were obviously used to being domineering.
After Fang Linyan finished his drink, he stood up. Soon a female emcee came over. She had a professional smile on her face and her clothes were quite revealing:
"This guest, do you need my dear's help in exchanging chips? Now it's 15% off."
After saying that, he deliberately lowered his chest and gave her a wink.
The guys who come here to consume are either miners or soldiers. These people are the pragmatists of the five times on the grass.
So the female emcee also made a coquettish gesture, after all, this is what the guests here do.
At this time it was time to use the activity funds. Fang Linyan asked her to help exchange for two thousand yuan in chips, and then gave Lim a thousand yuan in chips, and then went to the gambling table where the soldiers gathered to pretend to gamble.
Let's see if we can get some news.
Unexpectedly, these soldiers were very tight-lipped and concentrated on gambling. After a long time, they did not reveal any information, so he did not expect to find out anything here.
At this moment, Fang Linyan suddenly felt something was wrong all over his body, as if there was spider silk stuck to his body and above his face. It seemed insignificant, but in fact it was very annoying. If it was not removed, it would always be a bit annoying.
Uncomfortable.
Immediately afterwards, a prompt came from his retina:
"Dear Sergeant, you have just been affected by the range detection technology: Living Radar."
"The other party's military rank is: Reserve Major."
"The other party's perception is: 9 points."
"You are exempt from the opponent's range detection skill: Living Radar, and you are shown as an ordinary plot character in the eyes of the opponent."
After getting this tip, Fang Linyan was suddenly shocked.
He never expected that contractors had already appeared here, and they began to use the range detection skill: living radar to detect spies! Fortunately, his military rank and perception were all over his opponents, so he was able to lurk easily.
Under this situation, Fang Linyan originally planned to come in and walk around for a while, but now he knew there were contractors mixed in, so he simply stayed.
It can be said that Delto and the others are bound to come here to save people. Then it will be easy to fish in troubled waters. By the way, we will also explore the true strength of Daklan Company. If we turn around and return now, if we allow ourselves to be able to do more work,
Wouldn't it be a good opportunity to miss a job like this?
After going around the nearby gambling table several times and losing five to six hundred US dollars in chips, Fang Linyan still gained nothing, so he found a slot machine and sat down, playing with great interest. This time, he was truly invested.
When he went in to play, even if someone had been paying attention to him because of suspicion before, they were determined not to find any flaws.
Fang Linyan gambled for a while, but unfortunately, the program of the slot machine was in the stage of attracting money, and there was still a long way to saturate the rebates. Therefore, Fang Linyan, who had no gambling experience, was bitten by this big tiger as soon as he got on.
In the end, you lose more than you win.
He behaved exactly like a novice gambler. He was upset about his bets. He whistled and cheered loudly when he won, and cursed when he lost. All his emotions were written on his face.
