I walked out of Lawrence's office.

Chen Zhe quickly came over, "Afei, how's it going? What's the sheriff's attitude?"

"Don't worry, Brother Zhe," Li Fei said with a smirk, "We have all the necessary paperwork and evidence for the arrest. The sheriff just told us not to go too far."

Hearing this, Chen Zhe breathed a sigh of relief, "That's fine then."

His eyes flashed with anger. "These despicable bastards should all be sentenced to death."

Li Fei shook his head inwardly, wondering what had happened to Chen Zhe these past two days. He had been a gentle lamb before, but yesterday he was like a mad dog.

Last night, they caught the criminals and started beating them. If I hadn't been there, I probably would have crippled several of them.

He walked over and patted Chen Zhe on the shoulder, comforting him, "Brother Zhe, don't worry, with the evidence we have, they will all pay the price for what they did."

After interrogating the prisoners with Chen Zhe, they all went into the detention room.

Although the evidence is complete, the necessary procedures still cannot be skipped.

Organizing evidence, preparing case files, approving arrests, filing charges, and carrying out follow-up work—none of these steps can be omitted.

However, none of this mattered to Li Fei. For him, all he needed to do was bring all these people in.

It doesn't matter if they don't approve the arrest later.

As for the rest, there's no need to rush.

Simmer slowly over a low flame, gradually provoking the Sand Wolf Gang. When their anger reaches its peak and they can no longer control themselves, that will be the best time to strike.

As soon as he stepped out of the detention cell, Meng Nan, who was smoking, immediately walked over with a big smile on his face: "Not bad, Xiao Fei, you managed to arrest so many people in one night."

For these regular police officers, the hardest thing is never arresting people, but finding evidence.

Now that Li Fei has sent over all the people and evidence, they only need to go through the formalities to gain merit, which would make anyone happy.

Smith walked over and nodded in approval: "You're really good. No wonder the sheriff values ​​you so much."

Li Fei smugly hummed twice and raised his head: "Shine my shoes."

The crowd laughed—

After exchanging a few simple pleasantries, Li Fei was so sleepy that he found a chair and fell asleep immediately.

For the next week, almost every night, Li Fei and Chen Zhe would bring back a lot of people. They would interrogate prisoners during the day, and when they were too tired, they would take a nap in the interrogation room. They also went back to the post-apocalyptic world once. Under Wang Meng's leadership, the team achieved remarkable results.

In the past, the apocalypse occurred on the fifth day. When Li Fei received the crystal cores they handed him, he was stunned.

99 ordinary crystal cores and 10 attribute crystal cores were obtained, and no one was lost.

All I can say is that Wang Meng truly deserves to be called a man who can lead the elderly, children, the sick, and the disabled to survive in the apocalypse; he's really amazing.

Li Fei distributed three ordinary crystal cores to each of Tang Mucheng, Wang Meng, and Su Wan'er, allowing them to use them freely.

Because Awakened Ones do not have an experience point system, they can directly convert crystal cores into experience points. They need to slowly absorb the energy within them, and one crystal core is enough for them to digest for several days. Therefore, for them, too many crystal cores are not enough to use.

As for the attribute crystal cores, Li Fei gave them all to himself.

His base attributes are now quite impressive:

[Mechanical Psionic Energy: 150/150 (Current attribute crystal core absorption limit: 5/10)]

[Vital Energy: 650/650 (...Maximum: 7/10)]

[Physical Strength: 24 (...Maximum: 10/10)]

[Spirit: 47 (...Maximum: 10/10)]

This is yet another huge improvement.

While completing missions on Cangnan Star, they also have companions hunting crystal cores in the apocalypse.

This feeling is indescribably amazing.

Of course, Li Fei wasn't the only one who was happy; the entire police station was experiencing a bittersweet mix of emotions.

With Li Fei's accurate intelligence, each of them has achieved great success, and their year-end bonuses are sure to be substantial.

Apart from Sheriff Lawrence.

He was pacing back and forth in his office, looking troubled.

Now that things have progressed this far, he certainly knows who he's arresting.

These guys are all henchmen of the Sand Wolf Gang.

This is equivalent to a complete overhaul of the entire settlement.

Unfortunately, even though he wanted to manage it, he couldn't.

First, the evidence of these people's crimes is conclusive, and not arresting them would be against the law. Furthermore, the higher-ups have once again commended Li Fei for his performance and promised him a high reward of points.

Secondly, he also had to maintain his dignity in the police station. If he took the initiative to order not to make the arrest, he would really lose face in front of his subordinates.

Sigh... Lawrence let out a long sigh.

Leaders above only care about performance, while subordinates below only care about points.

As a result, all the pressure fell on him.

In the end, if things really came down to it, he would definitely be the first among those hated by the Sand Wolf Gang.

This is really a headache...

At that moment, a ringtone sounded from the smartwatch.

Lawrence glanced at it only once before hanging up immediately.

Ring ring~

Ring ring~

The bell kept ringing.

Lawrence was getting annoyed, and after hesitating for a long time, he finally answered the call.

"Hey Lawrence, what's wrong with you? Why aren't you answering your phone?"

Lawrence didn't retort, but explained, "Mayor, as you know, I've been arresting a lot of people lately, and I'm extremely busy."

"So you know you've arrested a lot of people!" the other person cursed, "Do you know that all the prominent business owners in our town, except for Mr. Fox, have been arrested by you?!"

Lawrence pursed his lips: "Mayor, these people have all committed crimes, there's nothing I can do about it."

"I don't care what you did, just let him go!"

Lawrence was a little angry at being yelled at. When did a lousy town mayor get to manage NCPD cases?

He coughed lightly and said calmly, "Mayor, the evidence against these people has already been handed over to higher authorities. It's not something I can just release them on a whim. Why don't you try talking to our chief?"

"you!"

Just as the mayor was about to unleash a torrent of abuse, the phone was hung up.

When I tried to call again, I was told the phone was switched off.

His expression froze instantly, and he looked helplessly at the jackal who was sitting casually on the sofa eating grapes.

Jackal stood up, his face ashen, and walked up to the mayor. "What? He's not giving you face?"

A hint of panic flashed across the town mayor's face, and he quickly said, "Old Hu, give me some time, and I promise I can handle him."

"Ha—" Jackal sneered. "Time? The NCPD is directly under the jurisdiction of the police department. What use are your words?"

The mayor's expression shifted, but he finally gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry, I'll find a way."

Jackal coldly glanced at the mayor, waved his hand, and the burly man in the suit behind him handed him a tablet computer. He tapped the screen with his finger, and a video began to play, showing a woman and a child struggling while tied to a chair.

"Wife, Xiaoyu!" The mayor rushed over excitedly, only to be kicked away by the jackal.

"If you want your wife and children to live, deal with this Lawrence. Three days, I'll give you three more days at most!"

After saying that, Jackal ignored the town mayor who was lying on the ground and led his men outside.

As they stepped outside, the burly man beside them suddenly received a phone call.

After exchanging a few words, he hung up and walked over to Jackal with a grim expression, saying, "Boss, they said on the phone that another place we have has been taken over by the Rust Gang."

"You bastards!" Jackal punched a nearby sapling, snapping it in two. "Lawrence, the Rust Gang! You're teaming up against me, aren't you?! I'll make you regret this!"

This declaration sealed the fate of N7 settlement, which was destined to descend into complete chaos.

However, for the N7 police department team now, their achievements over the past two weeks have been nothing short of outstanding.

As night fell, the police officers gathered at a barbecue stand to celebrate their victory.

Meng Nan raised his glass, "Let's toast Afei!"

Everyone raised their glasses, "To Ah Fei."

Helpless, Li Fei could only raise his glass as well, "To myself."

"Hahaha—" Everyone laughed, except for Sheriff Lawrence and Deputy Sheriff Horikawa Takeshi, whose expressions were rather unpleasant.

Meng Nan finished his drink in one gulp and said with lingering satisfaction, "Afei, where did you get all this evidence? I heard these people are all part of the Sand Wolf Gang's shady businesses. Your abilities are truly remarkable."

Li Fei modestly shook his head, noticing the sheriff's less-than-pleasant expression, and seized the opportunity to add insult to injury: "What I did is nothing. The sheriff is the one we should all learn from. He keeps his word; he said he'd deal with the Sand Wolf Gang, and he did. I admire him from the bottom of my heart!"

With that, he raised his glass. "Let's toast the sheriff!"

Everyone quickly raised their glasses, "To the Sheriff!!"

Lawrence waved his hand with a wry smile; he was truly in a bind now.

The group ate until the early hours of the morning.

Li Fei volunteered to go and pay the bill.

He drank several kilograms of liquor and was walking unsteadily.

"Boss, check please."

He was taking out his star coins while glancing around.

I happened to see a big black and white dog that looked a lot like my own.

He immediately became interested and asked curiously, "Boss, you also keep a husky?"

"What husky?" The boss looked puzzled, then followed Li Fei's gaze, his expression changing drastically. "Where did this stray dog ​​come from? Get lost!"

Li Fei sobered up instantly.

Yeah, where did the husky come from on Cangnan Star?

He tentatively called out, "Mundo?"

The husky immediately wagged its tail and ran over.

Li Fei instantly sobered up, frozen in place. "Is it really Mundo? It...it's in the apocalypse, isn't it?"

Before he could even think, Mondo came up to him and spat out a long-handled object from his mouth.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a knife handle with a knotted rope hanging from it.

Li Fei was very familiar with this knot.

It was made by Mu Cheng herself; she wears it on every one of her knives.

Something's happened in the apocalypse!
