US police: outlaws

Chapter 74 Mass Base

Li Yisen put the person down, wincing in pain from his back.

Using his advanced excitement skill left him somewhat weak, but without using it, it would be difficult to survive that blow.

He admitted that he had taken a risk; he caught the tree on his back when it rolled down, and without his super skin and super bones, he might have died in the river.

Just then, a group of people ran over, and the enthusiastic applause was recorded by Brandon Clark.

The young policeman was filled with excitement. He witnessed a true miracle: his superior had rescued someone from the raging river and was unharmed after being hit by a falling tree.

He made up his mind that he would follow this kind of boss from now on.

[Ding! You have rescued a "girl" who fell into the water, earning the townspeople's recognition and receiving a 2-star reward.]

[Knowledge-based 2-star skill: Intermediate swimming knowledge: The swimming knowledge of an amateur swimmer with several years of experience.]

[Ding! Host's swimming skills have already reached the intermediate level and are now being upgraded.]

[Ding! Skill upgrade successful. Advanced Swimming Knowledge]

The second useful knowledge-based skill appeared, and Li Yisen decisively invested 30 one-star knowledge-based rewards, leaving 12 remaining.

Each.

[Advanced Swimming Knowledge. Extreme: Knowledge sufficient for an athlete to participate in the world's top swimming competitions.]

In an instant, countless swimming tips flashed through my mind, such as how to coordinate my body movements with the water flow, and how to cope with different rivers and ocean areas.

Although his skills aren't deeply ingrained in his muscles, with frequent practice, he'll eventually reach the level of an Olympic athlete.

Lee Esen finally focused his attention on the pretty young girl.

"Hey, Alice Jenkins, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, but my father..."

"We'll help you search, don't worry. I'll take you to the clinic first."

Alice Jenkins suddenly hugged the man in front of her tightly.

"I want to go home, I want to be with my mother."

Seeing this, Ethan signaled to Edward, who had rushed over, to take the person back. He figured the person was alright and there was no need to pay medical bills. Ethan himself planned to go to the hospital, at least to have some of the twig fragments embedded in the skin removed.

"My colleague will take you home. Remember to let me know if you feel unwell."

"Um.

""

The group quickly dispersed; Ethan went to the hospital, while Edward accompanied Alice Jenkins back home.

Jenkins' house is right next to the river, and there's a locust tree that's at least a hundred years old not far from the door.

There was a knock on the door, and a middle-aged woman who was clearly somewhat mentally unstable opened it.

"Ms. Cook, I'm sorry to tell you some bad news. Your husband drove into the river and was swept away. We only had time to rescue your daughter."

The woman named Eva Cook ignored Edward and instead stared intently at her eldest daughter, who had escaped.

"You, you....."

""

Before Eva Cook could finish speaking, Ellie Jenkins had already hugged her mother.

"Mother, I'm back. Father is probably... sob sob sob."

"Joseph, Joseph, it's you, it's you."

Alice Jenkins looked at Edward.

"Officer Edward, I'm so sorry, my mother has some mental issues. Thank you for bringing me back."

"I understand."

Edward had been a police officer in Lano for a month and was unaware that the matriarch of the Jenkins family was mentally ill and that her eldest son and daughter were both in high school in Lake Los Angeles.

"I'm leaving now. I'll let you know when there are results. You can also contact me if anything happens."

"Um.

""

After Edward left, Alice Jenkins pulled her trembling mother back into the room.

"Mother, I will take good care of you until my brother comes back. He should be back tonight, right?"

"You, you."

The pitch-black environment seemed to grow even more profound, and Eva Cook's eyes gradually filled with fear.

Later that evening, Joseph Jenkins' body was found 7 kilometers downstream; he was already lifeless.

Rhodes Restaurant, one of only two restaurants in town, is also the most popular.

Not only does it taste great, but the proprietress is also a mature and beautiful woman who still retains her charm.

When Ethan Lee led Brandon into the restaurant they frequented, all the townspeople looked at them with admiration.

If slaying 20 people from the raging dragon instilled fear in the townspeople, then sacrificing himself to save others today earns their respect.

Only with a solid foundation among the people can Lano truly gain a foothold.

A group of middle-aged and elderly people at the table said politely.

"Officer Ethan, you've worked so hard, it's so late. Let me treat you to dinner."

"Mr. Chapman, please don't let me make a mistake."

"Haha, then I'll buy you a drink, and Officer Brandon too."

Thanks.

Shortly afterward, a woman with classical beauty served two dinners.

"Officer Ethan, Officer Edward, please enjoy your meal."

"Thank you for your help, Ms. Malena."

The woman in front of me was the owner of the shop, Malena Bellucci, a woman full of classic European beauty.

A Greek nose, alluring eyes, and sensual lips sculpted on an oriental oval face. Her large European frame gives her a full yet perfectly proportioned figure, and her hourglass curves exude desire, suggesting a prolific and fertile physique.

This shop has been open in the town for three years. Since Malena's husband passed away six months ago, this woman has been running it. She and her late husband had a daughter.

Just as Li Yisen and his companion were finishing their dinner, they heard Malena's voice calling from beside them.

"Gentlemen, please let go."

"Boss lady, we've all ordered the most expensive dishes, can't you have a couple of drinks with us?"

Lee Ethan turned his head and saw three gangsters holding Malena's hand. As a woman running a restaurant, this kind of harassment must happen from time to time.

Several townspeople nearby, unable to stand it, shouted.

"Hey, let's eat, don't get physical."

A 30-year-old man slammed a handgun on the table.

"Ha, you old guys, what business is it of yours? We're from the Lancaster Hellhounds."

The Hellhounds are a biker gang in Lancaster, a city of 20 people, with 300 official members. They are a formidable force in the desert region.

The name "Hellhound" did indeed frighten several townspeople, as these gangs frequently traveled this highway and often lingered in the town.

Lee Ethan wasn't going to tolerate this. He hated people causing trouble on his turf and wanted to take the opportunity to assert his dominance over the surrounding gangs.

"I advise you to put your pistol away."

"Ha, who are you? What right do you have to me...?"

97

Before the man could finish speaking, Li Yisen had already slammed his head onto the table. The other two gangsters were about to draw their guns when Li Yisen pointed a pistol at them.

"Put down your gun."

"Who the hell are you, you bastard?"

"Ethan Lee, police chief of Lano Station, you think you're in the right to cause trouble on my turf?"

"6

""

The three men, having recognized Ethan Lee's identity, shut their mouths. Ethan Lee's record of five months had already spread far and wide, and no one wanted to offend a killer cop without any vested interest.

"Officer, we're just having a meal, do we need to draw our guns?"

"Just eat properly, or I'll take special care of you next time."

'

'

The three gang members slunk away, and the townspeople in the restaurant gave them a round of applause, proving that the police really do step in when things get tough.

That evening, just as Ethan was about to go to sleep, there was a sudden knock on the door. The person who came in was the restaurant's female owner, Malena Bellucci.
