US police: outlaws

Chapter 107 High Risk, High Return

A Hellfire missile sent the obstacles in the way and several gangsters flying into the air.

Seeing that the path ahead was clear, Hobbs Johnson immediately issued the order.

"retreat."

The truck, bearing a few bullets, crashed through the last debris and retreated out of the city.

Helicopters in the sky continued to circle and fire, bullets and missiles chasing and attacking the crowd, until a gangster struggled to climb out and raised an old Stinger anti-aircraft missile from the last century.

"Bang!"

The missile was detected by radar as soon as it appeared, and Lee Ethan instantly fell into a hallucination in which the anti-aircraft missile directly hit the plane and exploded.

Although Lee Ethan had planned ahead, the first time he was targeted by an anti-aircraft missile, the illusion he had was that he was negligent in intercepting it, and that if it exploded, he would be gone, and his level 5 or 6 skills would be useless.

Lee Esen hurriedly deployed heat decoy grenades.

Dozens of heated decoy grenades were dropped from both sides of the helicopter, and they burst into flames like fireworks.

"boom"

The boss's Stinger missiles fired directly at the heat decoy flares, which relieved Lee Esen. It seems that Sakamoto is not very new, otherwise it would be very difficult to intercept.

I'm outta here, staying any longer will only invite more missiles.

The helicopter headed east towards the mountains. Apart from some missiles, Lee Ethan was not afraid of this country that didn't even have third-generation fighter jets.

The best fighter jet of this era was a second-generation fighter jet, which is the consequence of getting too close to America.

During the flight, Lee Ethan knew through the aircraft system that radar was tracking him. Ignoring everything else, he rushed into the misty mountains to retrieve his fighter jet, then used a parachute to land, planning to find an opportunity to smuggle himself back to America from Mexico.

In downtown Tijuana, DEA Commissioner Kenny Bennett finally arrived with dozens of commandos, but they didn't find the FBI.

The bodies weren't corpses, but rather the corpses of local drug dealers.

What truly made Kenny Bennett break out in a cold sweat was the bombing of the Red Desert headquarters by Black Hawk helicopters.

"How dare America? How dare they? They've taken over the land of the Mexican Watermelon! How despicable!"

Soon after, the approximate death toll came out, with a total of over 100 deaths. Even though the vast majority of them were drug dealers, this was still news that shocked Mo Xigua.

If America can act with impunity, what chance will the drug traffickers in Mexico have? Their armed forces are indeed comparable to those of warlords, but they are no match for America.

A single state-of-the-art Black Hawk helicopter is enough to overwhelm even large drug cartels. Just like today, even though the people who died in the past few days were all direct descendants of the Rodriguez family, it still created a consensus among the drug cartels.

As drug dealers exerted pressure and citizens protested, the Mexican "General" could not withstand the pressure and began to protest to America, but America denied it, claiming that it was not its plane.

This infuriated the Mexican government, who rescued the FBI agents and even killed the perpetrators who attacked them. They claimed that since the FBI agents weren't their people, only the Mexican government had the latest Black Hawk helicopters in North America. The Black Hawks in the Canadian country were all early transport helicopters, just like the Eastern superpower purchased a batch of transport helicopters in its early days.

America is also confused. An internal government investigation found that no Black Hawk helicopters were deployed, which means there are three possibilities.

There's a faction within the Army that uses Black Hawks without authorization, or a faction within the Mexican Watermelon that possesses the latest Black Hawks, and finally, a faction within America that owns private Black Hawks.

Neither possibility was what America wanted, so the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security, and the CIA joined forces to investigate the matter.

The murder of drug dealers is nothing compared to the mysterious Black Hawk.

America's various military industries certainly participate in the buying and selling of arms, but they have an unspoken rule: they cannot act recklessly on their own territory or in their backyard.

A day quickly passed, and as the situation in North America gradually worsened, a trivial incident occurred on the Mexico-Guagua border: Drug Enforcement Secretary Kenneth Bennett was found dead in his own home, and no one knew who did it.

That afternoon, Li Yisen pretended to be returning from a mountain climb.

This trip was really expensive; 13 Hellfire missiles were used, leaving only 7; 39 of the 50 rockets were used, leaving 11.

We've used up all the heavy machine gun bullets, but we haven't used the Stinger anti-aircraft missiles.

The system's built-in ammunition wasn't enough for two star battles, but every effort has its reward. This was the first time I'd ever been so unrestrained in the Ink Watermelon.

[Ding! You've eliminated a state-level gang leader, causing a major drug trafficking earthquake in Lower California. You've earned a 6-star reward.]

[The person involved in the case does not yet have a 6-star reward; a 6-star reward is being generated. They have obtained a 6-star Idealistic Talent: Crisis Perception.]

[Crisis Perception (6-Star): The host develops the ability to sense attacks, whether it's the trajectory and outline of a projectile or a knife strike. Strength +5, Stamina +5, Agility +5, Spirit +10]

[Active Skill: Perception Focused, can trace the trajectory outline, roughly determine the attacker's location, and also determine whether someone has malicious intent towards the host. 1 point of Spirit for 30 seconds.]

【Strength: 48】

[Endurance: 51]

[Agility: 39]

【Spirit: 44】

[Ding! Endurance has reached 50 points. You have gained the physical talent of good health, and all parts of your body are more rejuvenated.]

Muscle recovery speed increases by 20%, bone recovery speed increases by 3 times, brain recovery speed increases by 10 times, and kidney recovery speed increases by 5 times.

The stomach recovers 3 times faster, the lungs recover 2 times faster, the liver recovers 1 time faster, and the heart recovers 20 times faster.

[Multiplier. (Cannot be enhanced)]

In an instant, Li Yisen felt much lighter throughout his body, as if all the internal parts had been upgraded.

Most importantly, this skill makes up for his shortcomings. You should know that damage to the brain and heart is the most difficult to recover from. It can only be slightly recovered, and in severe cases, it can lead to permanent functional impairment.

In other words, even if he suffers a severe concussion, he won't become mentally disabled, and he'll be almost immune to heart disease.

At this moment, Li Yisen was laughing very happily, which confused the driver of the car driving next to him. Why was this person laughing while driving? Had he gone crazy or won the lottery?

[Ding! Destroyed $3 million worth of private property, obtained a 300-star resource chest.]

[Ding! You have acquired a villa worth 400 million, located in the Sherman Oaks community in the San Fernando Valley.]

"puff"

Lee Ethan was stunned. He was prepared for the fact that blowing up a large building and many smaller buildings only cost 300 million US dollars, since property prices on the Mexican border are indeed very low.

But the Sherman Oaks neighborhood in the San Fernando Valley has quite a history; although it's only a few kilometers from Hollywood, it's also a place where the wealthy congregate.

But right next to the community is the famous San Fernando Valley film studio, the most famous place for adult films, the only adult film studio that can rival Tokyo, and home to most of America's actresses.

How could I possibly live here? What would people who know him think?

But if I don't stay here, am I supposed to go back to Los Angeles and live in an even lower-class place?

Of course I'll stay there; a little bit of reputation doesn't matter at all.

[Ding! Over 100 Red Desert Alliance members have been killed in total. Their wealth and social status have been assessed. A 5-star weapon chest has been obtained.]

[Ding! You have obtained the M1A2SEPv3 main battle tank.]

[M1 Main Battle Tank: America Main Battle Tank, valued at $900 million.]

[9.7 meters long, 3.6 meters wide, 2.44 meters high, weighing 74 tons, equipped with third-generation depleted uranium composite armor, a vehicle-to-vehicle battlefield management system with laser warning and active protection, and a speed of 67 kilometers per hour.]

[Weaponry: 120mm M256 smoothbore cannon, integrated with a 12.7mm machine gun.]

The system is equipped with 20 artillery shells, 10 high-explosive shells, and 10 armor-piercing shells.

[5000 rounds of 12.7mm ammunition.]

Li Yisen's first reaction was that it was a useless trinket.

He knew about America's most popular tank; it required four people to operate: a commander, a driver, a gunner, and a loader.

Even without a loader, reducing the rate of fire from 8 rounds per minute to 2 rounds per minute still requires three people to operate.

If a tank can only fire two rounds per minute when used as a fixed gun emplacement, it's practically useless. Isn't a 75mm howitzer good enough?

Li Yisen gave up and decided to become a warehouse manager. His powerful weapons looked good, but once the ammunition was used up, they would be scrap metal.

The vehicle soon returned to the police station, and Li Yisen stopped as soon as he entered.

Because his stationmaster's office was occupied, his belongings were packed up and placed in the hallway.

Several police officers who were helping also saw Ethan Lee. Evelyn, holding the cardboard box, lowered her head and said dejectedly.

"Senior, you're finally back. I couldn't get through to you on the phone. The higher-ups have appointed a new station chief, a police inspector. He moved your things out as soon as he arrived."

To avoid being located during calls, Li Yisen turned off his phone and was unaware of this situation.

Li Yisen touched the other person's long golden hair.

"I see."

Just then, the door opened, and a middle-aged white man with a sharp, grimacing appearance came out.

"Isn't this Officer Ethan, who went on vacation? Back to work after having his fun. I'm the new station chief, Alex Wilson."

When Li Yisen used his full sensory concentration for the first time, he instantly sensed hostility from the other party.

We don't even know each other, so why is this guy hostile?

"Sir, I have two more days of leave. I'm just back for a visit."

Alex Wilson laughed.

"It's good to have more time off. I'm just waiting for my new position to be assigned. I heard I might be assigned to El Selito."

"Transferred so quickly."

Alex Wilson laughed even harder.

"It's not going to happen anytime soon. Aren't there two plots of land east of Lano that don't belong to you? I heard you even had a geological agency assess the gold reserves and grade. You know very well that you need to avoid conflicts of interest and ethical risks in your official duties, so you need to be transferred as soon as possible."

Alex Wilson loathed this low-ranking cop; ever since this guy caused trouble, he'd lost tens of thousands of dollars in the past six months. Ethan, however, remembered this incident and realized he really needed to be transferred if they were to dig for gold.

Thank you for your notification.

As soon as Ethan left the police station, Evelyn caught up with him.

"Ethan, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, don't worry."

"My father used his connections to transfer me back to the county headquarters' criminal investigation bureau. I can ask him to..."

Lee Esen pressed down on the girl's forehead.

"I can handle my own affairs. Don't you trust me?"

Evelyn finally nodded and returned to the police station. But having connections is definitely an advantage. Evelyn was promoted to detective and left Lano after only a little over a month in the station. This is a headquarters agency, not a local police station's investigation team.

You can't have it by envying it.

Lee Ethan turned on his phone and, sure enough, there were many missed calls, including several from his boss, Jason Garcia.

"Old man, you said you'd help me if I needed it, don't let me down."

"The call was connected very quickly."

Jason Garcia's cursing came from the other side.

"What have you been up to today? I couldn't get through to you on the phone. If you're any later, you'll be going to be guarding the reservoir."
