US police: outlaws

Chapter 67: It Finally Rained

Clermont First Hospital, the familiar ward layout. Ethan Lee had been treated at this hospital several times after being shot, and this time was no exception.

The morning sunlight streamed into the private hospital room, just as Li Yisen woke up.

After investigating last night, the police have informed him of the identities of the two attackers, just as he expected.

On one side is the Angry Dragon Society, and on the other is an assassin from Mexico who has committed several assassinations in America, although none of them were particularly difficult.

In addition, when Director Jason Garcia visited last night, he said he would talk to his superiors about the attack and see if the case could be transferred back; they are currently waiting for news.

Lee Ethan felt the chances were slim; Frederick had gone to great lengths to drive him to the desert, and now they would have wasted their efforts.

Li Yisen felt that instead of holding onto hope, he should check the system messages he hadn't seen while he was asleep last night.

[Ding! Subdued multiple people attempting to kill police officers, earning a 3-star reward. Rewards are being extracted from the deceased.]

[Ding! Extracted a three-star constitution-type talent: Active Cell Proliferation]

[Active Cell Proliferation (3 stars): When the body is injured, it releases growth signals, allowing growth factors and other substances to bind to cell membrane receptors, promoting rapid cell proliferation and enhancing wound healing. Stamina +1]

[Side effect: Cell proliferation consumes a large amount of energy; it cannot function in a state of starvation.]

"....."

Li Yisen really wanted to ask if the system planned to cultivate him into an immortal being, first his heart, then his immune system.

Two skills can reduce the recovery time of a wound from more than 10 days to 3 days. Now, with the addition of cell proliferation, he doubts whether the gunshot wound on his foot, which has not damaged the bone, can last for two days.

If he continues to acquire physical talents at the same rate, he feels that recovering from a gunshot wound in a few minutes in the future is not a dream.

[Ding! Killed 20 criminals, obtained a 4-star weapon reward]

[Ding! You have obtained 5 boxes (20 mines) of M15 heavy anti-track mines. These mines were used during the Korean War in America. They weigh 14 kg and contain 5 kg of TNT.]

Anti-tank mines are something you can't really get anywhere except through military smuggling. They're even easier to obtain in America than 75mm howitzers.

Li Yisen's leg twitched in his excitement, but the pain calmed him down a bit.

Talking too much has led to increased cell proliferation, which has made my immunity a bit insufficient, and the wound has become inflamed and started to itch.

[Ding! $70000 worth of personal property destroyed. Received a 1-star resource chest.]

[Acquire a Harley-Davidson CVO Street Glide motorcycle, valued at $4, with a top speed exceeding 200 km/h]

While a road glider may not be as good as the CVO Road Glide RR (the king of track performance), it's still very useful in the desert. Just imagine speeding along a desert highway – it's definitely exhilarating.

Just then, his phone rang; it was the bureau chief calling.

"Ethan, I just suggested to my superiors that he be transferred back, but this time not only is the Minister of the Interior blocking it, but even the regional director is biased towards him. I'm sorry."

"It's nothing, I understand."

After hanging up the phone, Lee Ethan's murderous intent towards Frederick resurfaced; he really wanted to kill that childless guy right now.

No rush, the weather forecast says there will be an opportunity soon.

Just then, there was a knock on the door. Li Yisen thought it was a nurse, but when he looked up, he saw a beautiful figure with long platinum blonde hair. It was Freya Larson, with whom he had a relationship, and a nurse was with her.

Freya wore a white sweater with a dark brown coat, a black pencil skirt with black stockings, and black knee-high boots. This time, she looked more dashing and heroic.

"Freya, what brings you here?"

"I was participating in a medical exchange in the next city, and when I heard you were shot, I came to see you."

Li Yisen never expected to meet again just three days later.

Thank you for visiting me.

"This doesn't sound like something Death would say. I'll change your dressing."

"Death, what the hell?"

Freya took the nurse's tools and began to untie someone's bandages while explaining.

"The internet says you've killed more than 30 people, like a grim reaper wandering the law."

"..."

Leaving aside the question of death for now, why did the nurse actually leave after a stranger helped him change his dressing?

"Hey, shouldn't the nurse be the one to change it for me?"

Freya forcefully held the patient down.

"I have some influence in both the California Hospital Association (CHA) and the California Medical Association (CMA). In addition, I am an honorary professor at this hospital, so changing your dressing is no problem."

"California Hospital Association, do you own a hospital?"

Freya nodded sweetly, looking like a friendly older sister next door. If she hadn't experienced the other party's methods firsthand, she would never have guessed that his heart was black inside.

"You guessed right, our family really does own a hospital. Don't move."

Freya quickly showed surprise, because the gunshot wound had entered the third stage, with granulation tissue filling the wound, and it was not yet a dead cavity.

"How is that possible? You were shot last night, only 12 hours have passed."

Lee Ethan didn't intend to hide it, after all, he was often the one who got shot.

"My constitution is a bit special."

"special?"

Freya then gave a look as if she had discovered a new continent.

"I've only seen this constitution in other cases, it's amazing! I didn't expect the little one I know to have it too. I'm so lucky to know you."

Faced with the aggressive female doctor, Li Yisen felt his scalp tingle.

"Hey, what do you want to do?"

Freya suddenly softened her expression and traced circles on the man's chest with her fingers.

"Could you please give me a tiny piece of cell tissue? I want to study the mysteries of this constitution. Please, my dear."

The sound of a clip made someone's skin crawl, but it didn't stop Freya from collecting some skin flakes. The doctors at the hospital probably collected these last night, except theirs didn't have cell proliferation capabilities.

Freya put the containment box in her pocket, then locked the door and drew the curtains under someone's gaze, leaving Ethan completely bewildered.

"Why are you closing the door?"

Freya took off her coat, revealing a sweater that perfectly accentuated her voluptuous figure, and then sat directly on someone's lap.

With such a beautiful face right in front of him, and the pressure from her buttocks so clear, Li Yisen couldn't help but swallow hard.

"I'm injured."

"I checked the wound and it's fine. I estimate I can be discharged tomorrow, darling."

"Next time, okay?"

Li Yisen is really not in the mood. He used the "excitement skill" yesterday and got shot again. Now that the wound is healing, it is constantly consuming a lot of nutrients from his body, and he is really weak.

Unfortunately, Freya didn't give the man a chance to back down, because she was really happy right now.

The sound of clothes rubbing against skin filled the air, and Freya lowered her head.

.....

An hour later, Freya gave someone a satisfied kiss before leaving, brushing past a blond figure at the same time.

"What's wrong, senior?"

Evelyn came over during her lunch break to visit, only to find a strange woman coming out of Ethan's room first. Ethan himself lay on the bed, seemingly indifferent, staring blankly out the window.

"It's nothing, just a little tiring. What brings you here?"

"Didn't I say on my phone that I'd bring you food?"

"Yeah, hurry up and give me the food."

Next, Evelyn saw another side of Lee Ethan: he was wolfing down his lunch as if he hadn't eaten for three days.

The next day, Li Yisen was successfully discharged from the hospital. After half a month of sunny weather, a drop of rain finally fell. The heavy rain of autumn and winter was coming, and it would be the heaviest rain of the year. And someone's revenge began.
