I revived the Demonic Sect in North America

This is tantamount to completely destroying Li Ang's future.

This will ensure he's forever confined to the slums of the South Bronx, with no hope of ever rising above his circumstances.

Looking into Li Ang's calm eyes, Karen simply couldn't bring herself to follow her consistent professional ethics and bring Li Ang to justice.

Reason and emotion tore at each other in her mind, causing her to close her eyes in pain.

Seeing this, Li Ang stepped forward, cupped her face in his hands, and gently kissed her trembling lips, feigning tenderness and concern as he said:

"Miss Karen, please don't be upset. I don't want to see you like this; it breaks my heart."

Having said that, he took a half step back, extended his hands again, and said calmly:

"Come on, handcuff me. I'm willing to accept any legal consequences as long as it makes you feel better."

Karen's eyes welled up with tears, and she couldn't help but shed them.

She ultimately couldn't bring herself to arrest her savior, but she also couldn't betray her professional ethics by fabricating a scene to protect him.

He could only grit his teeth and sob softly:

"Let's wait... until reinforcements arrive... I'll report according to procedure... I'm sorry, Li Ang, I'm very confused right now, let's wait for the Ministry of Internal Affairs to get involved before making any decisions..."

Just as the two were locked in a stalemate, a faint scraping sound suddenly came from behind them.

The two were startled and turned to look in the direction from which the sound came.

Upon seeing this, the two were immediately horrified!

After being hit by a magazine of bullets from Li Ang, Elmer, who should have been dead, actually started moving again.

The fentanyl mixed with the amphetamine residue in his body caused the nervous system of this resilient old black man, who could be called a king of the city soldiers, to start exploding again in the near-death stage.

Such a brief resurgence of energy is not uncommon among drug addicts who have overdosed.

This is because the combination of multiple enhancers can cause a clinical reaction in the human body known as "delirium".

Specifically, this manifests as an immune blockade against pain, a frenzied overload of the heart and lungs, and the output of superhuman strength to the body.

Even after brain death, muscles can still spasm and rebound.

In the 1993 Brooklyn drug bust, a drug dealer named Marcus was shot seven times and collapsed on the spot.

When the detectives went to handcuff him, he suddenly sprang up, using one arm to strangle one of the detectives while using the other to grab his gun.

He tackled two detectives to the ground.

The two sides fought for nearly a minute before Marcus was subdued by other reinforcements.

He died an hour after being taken to the hospital.

The infamous Miami "naked face-biting case" in 2015 also falls under a similar mechanism.

After getting high, 31-year-old Rudy Eugene attacked passersby naked in the street, frantically biting the faces of several victims.

Police fired six shots, hitting his heart and lungs, but he continued to bite.

He didn't collapse until all his blood had drained away.

This situation is not an isolated case; it has even been widely applied to the military in some countries during wartime.

For example, during World War II, Nazi Germany, which struck fear into the hearts of all of Europe, widely deployed methamphetamine in its military.

Military codename: "Tank Chocolate".

Soldiers who take it are not afraid of death, pain, or casualties.

They were able to go three days and three nights without sleep and march forcibly.

This is what enabled the German troops to achieve their incredible marching speed.

They launched various blitzkriegs that shocked the world.

Unfortunately, Li Ang and Karen were young and lacked sufficient knowledge, so they were unaware of just how terrifying the enhancer was.

They could only stare in disbelief as Elmer returned from hell as if resurrected from the dead.

Elmer's cloudy eyes were bloodshot and bulging, and his left hand convulsively reached for his pocket.

Under the shocked gazes of Li Ang and Karen, his finger slowly drew out a dark green M67 fragmentation grenade.

That was the last Vietnam War souvenir he kept when he withdrew from Kon Tum province in Vietnam in 1971.

The serrated lines on the oval cast iron shell are covered with years of grime and are full of a profound sense of history.

The M67 fragmentation grenade was the standard fragmentation grenade used by the US military during the Vietnam War.

It is filled with explosives and wrapped with a pre-made fragmentation bushing.

After the pull ring is pulled out, the fuse will burn out in just 3 to 5 seconds, detonating instantly.

Although Elmer was experiencing a brief resurgence of energy at this moment, he was at his last gasp.

He used his last bit of strength to pry open the safety clip with his thumb, and the metal grip snapped off.

He threw the grenade weakly, and it flew wobbly to Karen and Leon's feet.

Both of them were stunned; neither of them had expected Elmer to have this trick up his sleeve!

However, they could only watch helplessly, unable to do anything.

This type of fragmentation grenade is characterized by killing people not through explosion, but by the high-speed metal fragments generated by the explosion.

Shrapnel from the explosion can fly at speeds exceeding 1000 meters per second.

Within a 15-meter kill radius, if someone is hit by a bullet without any cushioning, even if they don't die immediately, they will suffer multiple penetrating wounds, massive bleeding, and ruptured internal organs, and will lose the ability to move on the spot.

In other words, no matter how fast Li Ang moved, even if he picked up the grenade and threw it, it would be useless.

At this distance, the group would have no chance of escaping the kill radius of the fragmentation grenade.

Not to mention that Detective Miller was seriously injured and unconscious, lying on the ground unable to move.

This is a certain death trap!

Karen's mind went blank.

At that moment, the only thought in her mind was regret.

I regret it so much!

She's still young, only twenty-five!

Looking back on her short life, ever since her father died in the line of duty, Karen has considered herself the daughter of a heroic policeman and kept her emotions tightly sealed.

He was eager to gain more honors and not bring shame to his father.

I haven't had a boyfriend since graduating from high school.

After joining the police force, he became even more disciplined and law-abiding.

I dare not slack off, dare not relax, and am even ridiculed by my colleagues for being heartless.

But after following the rules for so many years, what was the result?

As a result, he died at a young age.

Even on the verge of death, she hadn't even properly held a man's hand more than a few times.

She finally found a boy she liked.

While the boy was confessing his feelings to her, she was actually worrying about trivial things like the age gap, police regulations, and internal affairs department reviews...

They even considered arresting the teenager who risked his life to break into the drug den to save him and taking him back to the police station to be handed over to juvenile court...

I am an ungrateful, beastly creature, worse than a pig or a dog!

Now look what's happened. Once the bomb goes off, all the rules are worthless.

Commander Miller and Leon will be torn to shreds by the shrapnel storm along with him.

Thinking about this, Karen was in unbearable pain.

Without hesitation, she took the blame for the deaths of the two people.

That black drug dealer wasn't wrong; he himself is a stupid, naive, and idiotic savior, a worthless bastard.

To act hypocritically is rotten to the core.

In despair, Karen couldn't help but pray to God again.

If God really exists...

If only I could do it all over again...

Karen vowed that she would absolutely tear up the NYPD manual and throw it all into the Hudson River.

She wanted to date Li Ang openly and honestly in front of the whole world, and even kiss him like a snake in the street, oblivious to everyone else.

Karen swears she'll smash anyone who likes to gossip their way out of the house.

These thoughts were exploding wildly in Karen's mind.

In the blink of an eye, less than half a second had actually passed in reality.

The next moment, it was as if God had answered the prayers of this miraculous girl once again.

Karen suddenly witnessed an astonishing scene.

Suddenly, Li Ang exerted force, his shoulder slamming solidly into Karen's side.

This collision, under the pressure of life and death, was more ferocious than any of his charges when he played rugby.

Karen was completely unprepared and was sent flying into the air.

Karen, suspended in mid-air, watched helplessly as Leon lunged at the grenade on the ground without hesitation.

He pressed down on me like he was pressing down on a rugby ball.

He wrapped the iron lump tightly around his chest and abdomen, held it close with his arms, and curled his body into a shield.

Soon, Karen landed on her back, falling several meters away.

She looked up at Li Ang and screamed at the top of her lungs:

"No!!!"
