Chapter 179 Little Rock
Old Black from the artillery team had already called 911, and the state police were already on the way. They soon arrived here in an ambulance with flash lights and sirens. A group of people got out of the car and immediately bandaged and treated the injured.
Zhang Ailun also asked to be bandaged and tried his best to prove to the beautiful nurse that all of his group were injured.
The nurse asked him to take off his clothes and check in the car. She felt the chief's eight-pack abs and found that he was seriously injured! !
The local area became congested and swollen!
Then they were given a medical certificate.
A few people were left behind to do a simple record investigation. The escort vehicle was shot into pieces and it was difficult to continue driving normally. In order not to affect the mission, the state police contacted Palmdale Bank and Armed Nation and asked them to replace the state police car. The few people who were not seriously injured continued to escort the goods on the road.
Zhang Ailun was sitting in the back of the police car, his arms bandaged like a mummy.
He looked unhappy and still felt that he was getting a bad deal.
"I was seriously injured, my arm was broken, and I won't be able to lift heavy objects for the rest of my life. According to the security contract we signed, how many times the compensation can I get at most?"
“The maximum subsidy is 120 times, and it takes effect after death. But you only had a scratch on your arm. After examination and treatment by a professional doctor, the maximum subsidy you can get is 10 times the salary.” Sig looked strange, feeling that this scene seemed familiar.
But he himself was injured, and his neck was wrapped up like a disabled person.
They all experienced a fierce gunfight, and some people even died on the spot. It would be really unreasonable for everyone not to ask for some additional compensation, right?
Bailey was even worse off, his entire head was wrapped up in a mess, and he looked stupid and confused.
"what?"
Even so, they insisted on escorting this batch of arms!
Look! What a good security guard! If you don't give him a few thousand dollars in subsidies, this matter will never end!
But this is not even the worst, because their injuries were determined not to be serious and they needed to continue to perform their duties of escorting goods. The few people next door had already been taken away by the ambulance.
Damn it! I thought my arm injury was serious enough, but I didn't expect those PMC security guards to be even more ruthless. I took two small pills and had vomiting and diarrhea. I was diagnosed with a severe concussion and could no longer perform my duties and escort missions. I was taken away by an ambulance and sent to the hospital for recuperation.
Later, their company will definitely ask for compensation for the sake of profit.
The same thing happened to those black guys. They kept saying they had stomachaches, headaches, and pain everywhere. Their dark faces turned pale and they were sweating from the pain. They had to stay in the best VIP room for diagnosis.
In the end, their injuries were the lightest.
Fuck! Shameless! !
I originally thought that people in this line of work were all tough guys willing to risk their lives, but I didn't expect that in order to earn several times the compensation, each one of them is more cunning than the other!
I’m already bandaged up like this, and this is still the least injured in the industry?
No wonder it is known as one of the most dangerous industries.
Zhang Ailun felt that people were evil, and next time he encountered this situation, he wanted to shoot himself first. Then he would hire a lawyer to sue his employer, so that he could lie on the hospital bed, eat and drink the employer's food, and get compensation from the employer!
If you don’t open for a year, you can make enough food for a year after you open.
Riding in the state police car, the road finally became much quieter, and no one dared to take the initiative to cause trouble. The police car sirens blared and the road was unimpeded. Speeding and running red lights were just normal. The journey that originally took at least half an hour to arrive was directly shortened to fifteen minutes.
The state police vehicle arrived at the Wells Fargo Bank in Palmdale, and Sig took out his phone to contact the staff. Soon the head of the bank's security department came to respond. Seeing the miserable state of the three people, everyone was stunned.
"You must have gone through great risks to be able to escort this batch of goods here! Where are the others?" The security supervisor came up to ask about their well-being.
"We were attacked by gangsters, some people died on the way, and the others were admitted to the hospital." Sig said with grief, trying hard not to expose the shameless behavior of his colleagues.
The bank manager also expressed understanding and condolences, but the bank had already paid for the arms costs, and he would not pay a penny for the escort and hiring fees. Even though he was sentimental, he could only comfort them verbally.
He also asked the bank staff to unload all the guns and cargo, and took out a list for signature.
Sig received the signed list and knew that the mission was accomplished.
Instead of getting in the state police car, the three of them left Wells Fargo Bank directly, found a roadside fast food restaurant, went in and ordered a fast food meal.
Drinking iced cola and eating fried chicken, Zhang Ailun crossed his legs and asked Sig to ask the boss of Armed Nation for his salary and remuneration.
And questioned the other party why this happened, and even directly caused the death of the security personnel!
The most important thing is when will our subsidy be paid?
The boss of Ammunition Nation also expressed his apologies. "Thank you for your hard work. I didn't expect something like this would happen. We have sued the local ranch owner and notified the police to crack down on gangsters and evildoers! I have someone responsible for your tenfold compensation."
Seeing his boss' sincere attitude, Sig did not question or accuse him. He just said, "Except for the guns and ammunition we escorted, we did not inform the police of anything else. They don't know what the escorted goods are. That CD should be very important to you. Don't worry, we are all professional security personnel and we will never say anything that we shouldn't say!"
"But if I want to open a gun store, I wonder if you can help us?"
The owner of Ammunition Nation was also surprised. "You want to open a gun store? Of course there is no problem with that. My friend happens to have a gun store license for sale. If you have time, you can come and talk to me."
After a few more words, the other party asked the accountant to transfer money to the three of them. He was very efficient. It seemed that the three of them were relatively easy to deal with. The other PMC security companies, the compensation demands from the families of the deceased, and those old blacks who complained without reason were what gave him more headaches.
The medical expenses promised in the contract alone are a huge expense, but they will not exceed one hundred thousand dollars.
120 times the compensation for a life may seem like a lot, but based on the security guard's hourly wage of $70, the compensation would be at most tens of thousands of dollars.
The temporary security contract is not actually a benefit for the security personnel. Instead, it favors the employer. Otherwise, no matter how much money they have, it will not be enough to compensate them.
Sig also received a transfer reminder soon. The hourly wage was $60. Although he only worked for a few hours, his salary was calculated based on 8 hours of work. Ten times the compensation was $4800 per person.
As usual, Sig deposited the money into the chief's love card, and Zhang Allen transferred $4800 to each of them as a reward. Bailey was responsible for paying the bill for the meal.
After the three of them had eaten and drunk their fill, Zhang Ailun directly removed the mummy arm bandage that was the same as Danzo's, and lifted the seal! But there was no Sharingan.
After going out, they searched for local taxis. It wasn't too far from here to Little Rock. Originally, they could have driven the escort vehicle back, but now they could only take a taxi.
Sig called an online taxi directly and waited on the roadside for a few minutes. Then a silver-gray Citroen drove up. The three of them got in the car and asked the driver to go to Little Rock next door.
"Boss, even if you have money you shouldn't go to the casino to have fun. There are money-eaters there. No amount of money is enough to spend there." Bailey was a little puzzled.
"What do you know? I heard that the casino over there has exciting shows at night." Zhang Ailun said casually, "I made an appointment with Blitz to go over there to see the scenery and visit the high-tech facilities on his behalf."
He took out his cell phone and contacted Blitz, informing him that they had completed the mission of escorting the arms and were now on their way to the Little Rock Casino.
Blitz: OK, when you get there, put on your headset and I'll tell you what to do. Remember to download and install this small program. Find it in the storage root directory, unzip and install it.
Blitz sent the three of them an app. Zhang Ailun installed it according to the instructions. It was a black skull-shaped logo with a triangular red border.
It smells like that!
Sig and Bailey looked at the small program sent by Blitz, installed it and opened it, and saw that it not only had positioning, but also camera interference decryption, and they also vaguely sensed that something was wrong.
What the hell, what is he doing with this thing in a casino? Is he buying goods? Is he planning to cheat or rob the vault?
But because there were outsiders present, they knew better than to mention it and didn't say anything more.
Zhang Ailun, on the other hand, was chatting happily with the driver. "Hey, man, you must often take guests to Little Rock, right? What do you think of the casinos there? Have you ever been in there to check it out?"
"I'm sorry, I'm not interested in these things, but I have a friend who works as a junket operator in a casino. I heard that he can make thousands of dollars a day."
The white male driver of the Citroen was envious and gave another warning: "But I heard that the casinos here don't seem to be very formal. There are often reports of electronic cheating. It was also opened by a group of Filipino bosses and local people, not Indians. If you want to experience a better casino, I suggest you go to Las Vegas."
"I think Malaysia Genting is also good." Zhang Ailun smiled.
"I haven't been there. But aren't Asians the most common people there? There are also quite a few Asian players in Little Rock." The two chatted as they drove from the Wells Fargo Bank in Palmdale to Little Rock in twenty minutes and parked the car on the side of the road in front of an American-style restaurant.
The post office was not far ahead, and there was a tire shop across the street, but Zhang Ailun felt at a glance that this shop was not very formal because all the employees were black.
Little Rock looks more like a town in the suburbs of Los Angeles. It has few facilities. Apart from a road, there are some L-shaped bungalows on the side. There are also several blocks and an abandoned chemical plant with some graffiti on it. Further away is the mountain wilderness.
Let the chief leader dream back to his small suburban place online.
The three got off the car, and Sig paid the other party's fare, which was only a dozen dollars.
Then I found a post office to temporarily store my equipment. After all, entering a casino requires a search, and it might not be convenient for you to bring a gun in.
Bailey bought a few bags of potato chips at the snack bar and drank iced drinks. The three of them were like trendy guys from the big city who came to the countryside for a tour, walking on the side of the road and pointing at the surrounding environment.
There was a white girl with a spider tattoo on her thigh, looking down at her phone next to an ATM machine. When she looked up and saw the three of them, she lifted up her thin clothes, fiddled with her hair, and winked, "Handsome guy, do you need any help? $20!"
“Are prices in small towns so cheap?”
Bailey was a little surprised. "With your figure and looks, even if you live on the streets of Skid Row, you'd need at least $200! Why don't you go to a big city to develop your career?"
The girl became interested when she heard this. "You are from Los Angeles? Are you going to the Star Casino in Little Rock? I know where that place is! Do you need me to lead the way? It's only $10! Without a guide from outside, I guarantee you won't be able to get into the casino!"
"Does $10 include other services?" Bailey stared at her long legs.
"Of course not, it's just the guide fee! If you want to do something exciting, how about going to a motel with me! 50 dollars for a whole night, I guarantee you will be satisfied!" said the white girl generously.
"Boss, look at this..." Bailey turned around to seek the chief's opinion.
"It's up to you. It's your freedom. I'm not tying you up." Zhang Ailun waved his hands, a little speechless.
Sig, however, had a stern face, and he hated evil as much as he could, "Don't forget what we are here for! Sergeant Bailey."
Bailey: "..." No, you are sick!
I just picked up a girl and ordered some fast food, and you use your military rank to pressure me? Fine, fine, you are a captain, you are amazing, you are the typical sour grapes!
I'm a sergeant and you're a captain, so what? I'm still a noble air force member after all!
"Is he your boss? Are you veterans? He must be much richer than you! Hey boss! My name is Lanny, you can come to me if you need anything, I will definitely serve you well." Lanny stared at the chief leader enthusiastically, her eyes fiery.
"How about taking us to the casino first?" Zhang Ailun took out $10 and said with a smile, "This is your reward."
"No problem, boss." Lanny simply abandoned Bailey and came to the generous chief.
He took the money and went to dribble the ball into someone, "I promise to help you get into that casino smoothly and let you have fun! If you want to have more fun, I can also help you! But you have to come one by one."
"I don't think I have this need for the time being." Zhang Ailun declined with a smile. The leader had eaten a lot of foreign food and was well-informed. He was not interested in this country girl, but her personality was still quite enthusiastic and lively, which made her quite likable.
But she wouldn't be able to earn that money if she wasn't extroverted.
Zhang Ailun followed Lanny to the Star Casino, where she introduced the three of them to the local customs and culture. This was an industrial town that wanted to break away from the influence of Los Angeles and become urbanized, but unfortunately it failed.
Now it is barely surviving, with only a few hotels and auto repair shops hiring people to receive foreign guests. Young people have long left Little Rock to work hard in big cities, or to join street gangs. It is like a microcosm of Los Angeles' Skid Row.
They soon arrived at the Xinghui Casino. Lanny led the three of them to greet the two black bodyguards at the door in a familiar manner.
"Hey! Bro! Did you see that? I brought you new business again. Don't stop me next time I come here! OK? The customer is God!"
The two black bodyguards looked at each other, but did not look at her in a good way. Instead, they asked the three people, "Guests, are you from Los Angeles or other cities? Did this girl do anything to you?"
"No, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with her? I saw her waiting for customers on the roadside, and she seemed reliable in what she said and did, so I asked her to help as a tour guide." Zhang Ailun said in surprise.
The black bodyguard's expression softened when he heard this and he said, "You're very lucky that you didn't run into any trouble. Recently, many customers here have had their wallets stolen. This girl is part of a group of teenage gangs on the street who specialize in sex scams and robberies. You'd better stay away from her."
"The police don't care?" Sig was a little surprised.
"They are all minors, and the money they demand is only one or two hundred dollars at most, which is not a lot for tourists and gamblers. When they are taken away by the police, they are only verbally educated at most. Unless someone dies, basically no one will care."
The black bodyguard said: "This is a very common phenomenon in Little Rock. It's very chaotic here. I have already reminded you. You just need to be careful."
After that, he said no more and invited them into the casino.
