US police: outlaws

Chapter 55: Physique Greatly Improved

At Clamard Hospital, Ethan Lee entered a private room, which was Luna Hathaway's room.

The female lawyer was rushed to the hospital that day and almost did not survive. Fortunately, she pulled through and has recovered a lot after several days of rest. However, she is still very weak and her face is a little pale.

Wearing a hospital gown, Luna lost some of her aloofness and gained a touch of pitifulness.

Li Yisen placed the fruit basket on the bedside table.

"Ms. Hathaway, are you alright?"

Luna raised her head and gave a slight smile.

"Officer Ethan, just call me Luna. Thank you for saving my life. Without you, I would have died without even knowing why, let alone avenged my sister."

"This is my duty."

"No matter what you say, you saved me."

The two chatted for a few minutes but didn't have much to talk about, since they had only met once. Just as Lee Ethan was about to leave, Luna Hathaway made a request.

"I want to go for a walk, Ethan, can you help me?"

Li Yisen was taken aback. "We're not even that familiar. Shall I help you up?"

"Should I call a nurse for you?"

"Really, it's not necessary."

With the help of the person in front of her, Luna Hathaway got out of bed, then took Ethan Lee's arm and slowly walked out of the ward.

As soon as the elevator doors opened, Luna felt a wave of weakness wash over her as soon as she lifted her foot. She immediately leaned into the man's arms and wrapped her arms around him.

Li Yisen was also confused; someone was watching.

"Are you alright? Should I take you home?"

"No need, you can just put your arm around my waist."

Li Yisen nodded to those bright eyes, then embraced her slender waist, feeling its delicate yet fleshy texture, as her fullness occasionally rubbed against his arm.

On a park bench, Luna Hathaway was holding a man's arm, her head resting on his strong shoulder.

"The FBI has their eyes on me, and they probably have their eyes on you too."

"FBI?"

"Yes, they asked me about the COVID-19 case, as well as questions related to you, and even installed a listening device in my hospital room."

So they were afraid of listening devices. I knew a woman I'd only met once was way too enthusiastic.

"Thank you for letting me know."

"You're welcome. I've made some inquiries these past few days and found some connections, including..."

After listening, Li Yisen looked thoughtful, as if he was processing the case. In fact, regardless of the details of the attack or the escape route, how could the person involved not know?

Luna suddenly asked in a calm tone.

"I'm a little tired, I want to lie on your lap and bask in the sun."

"???"

Lee Ethan was still a little dazed when the female lawyer leaned close to the man's ear and breathed softly, making him shudder.

"Is that not allowed?"

"Of course, no problem."

The warm early winter sun shone on her face, and Li Yisen could see her sleeping face as soon as he looked down, as well as the sexy contours that could not be hidden under her clothes. This situation gave him three major illusions.

Is this woman interested in me?

Don't overthink it, just get some sleep.

.

In the evening, Lee Ethan took a stroll through the impoverished community, not only gathering new intelligence from his informants but also earning a Level 1 reward.

The level one rewards are quite substantial now, but being targeted by the FBI has made him decide to stop saving them.

31 Desire-based, 13 Constitution-based, 12 Skill-based, and 21 Knowledge-based.

There are no suitable skills to enhance the Desire type, and he originally wanted to enhance the Constitution type to 5 stars, but he really doesn't know when he'll ever save up 500.

First, consume 30 Desire-type items to synthesize a 3-star reward.

[Ding! Acquired a three-star desire-type skill: Advanced "Surname" Excitement]

[Desire Type. Advanced "Sexual" Excitement (3 stars): Simulates that moment, increasing adrenaline to suppress pain, adrenaline accelerates glycogen breakdown and fat oxidation, improves blood sugar and oxygen supply, provides instantaneous energy to muscles, resulting in greater strength and increased reaction speed.]

[Side effects: Your area will become sensitive and swollen. You will experience temporary weakness after use until your blood supply is restored. Strength +1]

After reading the skill description, Li Yisen was speechless. The effect of this thing was very good, but the disadvantages were hard to describe. The swelling and sensitivity there would be a disaster in front of people, and the weakness was nothing compared to that.

Li Yisen continued to use 12 points of physique to enhance advanced hearing (3 stars).

[Advanced Hearing. Extreme (3 stars): Hearing ability is greatly improved, reaching a level of 2dB or higher, which is close to the limit of human hearing. Agility +3]

12-point skill enhancement for advanced marksmanship (3 stars)

[This is the marksmanship honed by a Navy SEAL over more than a decade. Within 150 meters, he can hit the chest and head of a stationary human target with 100% accuracy, and moving targets with 60% accuracy. Agility +3]

Knowledge-based rewards don't offer good skills to enhance, and there aren't enough for 30, so they won't be used for the time being.

Now, with an additional skill and two enhanced skills, there has been a significant change in physical constitution.

【Strength: 21】

[Endurance: 23]

[Agility: 25]

【Spirit: 21】

Agility reaches 25, making it the highest attribute.

I feel much lighter, and my five senses and nerve responses have been significantly improved.

Especially in terms of hearing, if you concentrate, you can hear the content of whispers 20 meters away.

Soon, Li Yisen noticed something was wrong because his senses were heightened. Someone was following him, and even when he drove away, they would follow him.

FBI or assassin?

Lee Esen was unsure, but he wouldn't let the other party keep following him.

A man and a woman walked into the dimly lit alley.

"Once the target goes in, you follow from this side, and I'll go in from the other side, keeping in constant contact."

"Um."

.....

The man listened to the footsteps and followed slowly, but did not appear in the target's sight. However, as he walked, he suddenly heard the sound of rapid running.

We cannot lose sight of our goals.

The middle-aged man also quickened his pace, but soon lost track of the other's footsteps, right in front of a fork in the alley.

"Left or right?"

Before the man could make a decision, Li Yisen had already rushed out from his hiding place in the corner.

Footsteps sounded again, and the force of a punch was already in front of the man.

The punch sent the man staggering back several steps, nearly falling over; his cheek was swollen from the blow.

Damn it.

The man raised his forearm to block the punch, and threw a punch with his other hand, but it was dodged.

Soon, a scene unfolded that caught the man off guard. Most of the direct attacks were dodged, while the opponent's punches rained down, forcing the man to expose an opening and knock him to the ground.

Just then, another woman arrived at the scene and, without hesitation, prepared to draw her pistol.

Stop.

As soon as the woman finished shouting, Lee Ethan also drew his pistol and pointed it at her.

The man, whose face was bruised and swollen, finally spoke up, identified himself, and produced proof.

"Don't shoot, we are the FBI."

Lee Ethan glanced at the two men and finally put down his pistol.

"Why are the FBI agents following me?"

The policewoman also put her gun away.

"The COVID-19 case."

"Feel free to ask me any questions."

The policeman touched his face and immediately grimaced. It really hurt. He suspected that Ethan Lee had done it on purpose.

As for what you can get out of asking, you're not a suspect.

It has to be said that they underestimated this low-ranking policeman. After following him for a few days, they discovered that he was recruiting a large number of informants, and they didn't care whether he had reported it or not. Now they've even discovered that he's being followed.

Keep in mind that they were FBI agents, absolute elites, yet they were taken down by the enemy's counter-surveillance tactics.

"It's my duty, Officer Ethan, I hope you understand."

"Understood. Shall we find a place to sit down and talk?"

The two FBI agents exchanged glances, both clearly seeing their partner's helplessness. The target was actually trying to trick them into revealing information; it was a complete reversal of their intentions.

"I have important business to attend to, so I must take my leave."

Lee Ethan sighed upon seeing the other party. It turned out to be the FBI. He had thought the other party was assassinating him remotely without a gun, and was clearly giving him a reward.
