Chapter 288: Casino


    Then the problem arises, if they wanted to hire a guide, they must first tell the guide where they want to go, and the address must be urate.


    In other words, the guide actually knew the exact address of the mysteriousboratory.


    But this guide, Siwell, was a little unreliable. After getting their advance payment, he immediately started to squander. He first went to the brothel, then he went to gamble and lost everything. He even got caught cheating and got beaten up badly. He was now locked up in the Bloody Dice Casino.


    Madison, the boss of Bloody Dice, was not easy to mess with. He not only had a group of gunmen, but he also had a close rtionship with the second person of Scimitar, Hassad, who had settled here.


    What Delto was most worried about now was that the guide, Siwell, would be tortured or being injected with truth serum after being locked up, then he might reveal the location of the suspected Veronica Laboratory under interrogation. That was really hopeless.


    Therefore, Delto could only make a decision now. He let Fang Linyan go to the signal control room first just to set up for this to seal themunication in this area first.


    Needless to say, the next step was to break into the Bloody Dice Casino and save Siwell with force. Then, they would immediately go to the ce suspected of Veronica Laboratory.


    There is a saying that indecisiveness leads to disaster.


    Fang Linyan admired Delto very much now. It took a considerable amount of courage to make such a decision at this moment.


    Since Delto wanted Fang Linyan to get on Sandez’s car to go to support, then both sides had the same interests. Fang Linyan went immediately.


    The vehicle that Sandez drove was a special vehicle that had been transformed. The whole vehicle was sealed up and down. It could drive in extreme weather like an impregnable armored vehicle. It even had an ultrasound enhanced monitoring system, ‘ck Bat’, that allowed it to keep going when visibility was zero.


    However, Fang Linyan still felt nervous even in this sturdy all-terrain vehicle.


    Because the sandstorm was so big. ording to the reading on the screen, the wind had even reached an astonishing level 8. The terrain near the town was closer to the desert. Gravels and fist-sized stones everywhere made crackling sounds when hitting the impregnable vehicle as if a dozen people were mming it with sledgehammers outside.


    Fang Linyan couldn’t help but ask Sandez,


    “This kind of damn weather is probably difficult to encounter once in a year, right?”


    While driving the vehicle, Sandez shook his head and said,


    “It’s hard to say. There are at least 80 days in a year like this. Besides, do you think this is the end? <i>Tsk tsk</i>, more ising.”


    Fang Linyan said in surprise,


    “Such an extreme weather still isn’t the end?”


    Sandez sneered,


    “It’s far from it! This kind of sandstorm weather is only moderate. The most violent sandstorm I’ve ever seen was 10 years ago. When the wind blew, even the surrounding hills could directly lose ayer of the peak. Even worse, a magnitude 6 earthquake urred. It took half a year for the rescue toe.”


    Only then did Fang Linyan understand why on the map of the town he had seen before, the trade area, the military camp and the refinery were all 6km apart.


    It was not that the builders at the time didn’t want to build it together, but because the extreme weather in this damn ce was too ferocious.


    The open space that could shelter from the wind was limited. If the 3 ces were forciblybined, the town couldn’t be built at all.


    Soon, the vehicle turned into a valley. The wind here suddenly became much smaller. It had dropped to level 6. There were sparse pedestrians on the road, and the dimly lit neon signboards of the shops.


    Sandez turned the car into an alley and stopped, then he said,


    “The corner ahead is the casino. My car is too eye-catching. Can’t drive over.”


    After the car stopped, Fang Linyan realized that he couldn’t contact Delto. Probably because of the disturbance caused by the sandstorm. So, he named Lim to go into the casino to scout.


    He also asked Ishida, who came with him, to give him 10,000 US dors as mission fund. The reason was very good. If he went to the casino without exchanging a few thousand US dors in chips, wouldn’t they expose themselves? The money was probably paid by Ishida himself, so his face looked rather ugly.


    Then Fang Linyan took Lim out of the car, walked to the street corner in front of him and pretended to be waiting for someone. He observed the Bloody Dice casino for a while, then he put on a hat to block the wind and sand, and he covered his face with a scarf before walking into the casino.


    The atmosphere in the casino was very different from the deserted streets. After passing through the door, there were two heavy curtains that blocked the wind. Fang Linyan gave a tip to the person standing beside the curtains, and the doorkeeper lifted the curtain and invited him in.


    After walking in, Fang Linyan felt a rush of heat on his face. He could see dozens of gaming tables inside. No matter what gamblers wanted to y, they could find a way of gambling that suited their tastes. There were a dozen slot machines ced on the left side. A few gamblers were sitting away from each other. On the right side were the Dart and roulette. There was even a small bar in the center of the casino. There was a choice of drinks.


    After checking the price list, he found that this ce didn’t make money based on drinks. The drinks were very cheap; almost at cost price. He was thirsty right now, so he ordered a ss of Bowmore whiskey.


    Fang Linyan was a little stunned after drinking it. He was actually mentally prepared to drink wine mixed with water, but he didn’t expect the taste to be surprisingly mellow and genuine.


    Even in a metropolis like New York, this quality of “Bowmore” whisky cost 80 dors a ss, and it was only 100 dors here. Considering the remote distance here, it was really a conscientious price.


    Now that the sandstorm was huge outside, Fang Linyan’s dress was almost standard for street pedestrians, so it was not conspicuous. While drinking, he began to look at the general conditions in the casino.


    In such a damn weather, the attendance rate of the casino was actually quite good. There were at least 40 customers.


    Fang Linyan even found that there were 6 soldiers among these customers. Although they were wearing civilian clothes, their special temperament and t hair style made them easy to identify. They also revealed a hint of unscrupulousness. They were obviously used to domineering.


    After Fang Linyan finished drinking, he stood up, and soon a female emcee came over. She had a professional smile all over her face, and her clothes were quite revealing,


    “My guest, do you need me to exchange chips for you? Now it’s 15% off.”


    After speaking, she deliberately lowered her chest and winked at him.


    The guys who came here were either miners or soldiers. These people were pragmatists who only looked at big size.


    So this female emcee also made such a coquettish gesture. After all, the customers all bought this way.


    Now was the time to use the mission fund. Fang Linyan asked her to exchange for 2,000 dors, then he distributed the 1,000 dor chips to Lim. Then, he went to the table where the soldiers were gambling to see if he could snoop out some information.


    Unexpectedly, these soldiers are very tight-lipped and concentrated on gambling. They didn’t reveal anything useful after a while, so he didn’t think he could get any info here.


    At this moment, Fang Linyan suddenly felt that something was wrong all over his body as if there was spider silk stuck on his face. It seemed insignificant, but it was actually quite annoying. It made him always feel ufortable.


    Immediately afterward, a prompt came from his retinas,


    “Respected Staff Sergeant, you have just been affected by the aoe reconnaissance: [Living Radar].”


    “The opponent’s rank is: Reserve Lieutenant.”


    “The other party’s perception is: 9.”


    “You have exempted the opponent’s aoe reconnaissance: [Living Radar]. You are shown as an ordinary plot character in the opponent’s eyes.”


    After getting this prompt, Fang Linyan was shocked.


    He never imagined that there would be a contractor here, and he began to use aoe reconnaissance: [Living Radar] to check for spies! Fortunately, he hadpletely surpassed his opponent in terms of rank and perception, so he could easily lurk under the radar.


    Fang Linyan initially nned to take a stroll and leave. Now that he knew that there was a contractor here, so he chose to stay.


    Delto and his team would definitelye here to save people. Wouldn’t it be easy to fish in troubled waters? He could also see the true strength of the Dd Company. If he turned back now and they assigned him to cover the retreat, wouldn’t he miss a good opportunity?


    After going around the gambling tables, he lost 600 dors in chips. Fang Linyan still found nothing, so he sat in front of a slot machine with great interest. This time, he really threw in the chips and yed. Even if someone had been paying attention to him with suspicion, he probably couldn’t find the slightest w.


    Fang Linyan gambled for a while, but unfortunately, the slot machine program was in the stage of sucking money. It was still a long way from the rebate, so Fang Linyan, who had no gambling experience, was gnawed by this big tiger. He lost more than winning.


    He also behaved exactly like a novice gambler. He was annoyed by his bet; he whistled and cheered when he won; he cursed when he lost. All his emotions were written on his face.
