Chapter 114 Becoming the Acting Team Leader
[Ding! Participated in suppressing a bio-terrorist attack and arresting the perpetrator. Participation rate: 45%. Gained a 5-star physical talent: Super Phagocytic Cell.]
[Super Phagocyte (5-star): Macrophages in the body undergo a transformation, increasing their strength tenfold. Upon contact with pathogens, they directly oxidize and destroy viral nucleic acids and fungal cell membranes, completely compensating for the damage caused to ordinary cells and beneficial fungi. Endurance +10]
【Strength: 48】
[Endurance: 61]
[Agility: 39]
【Spirit: 44】
Li Yisen, who was teaming up with Kaiya, was stunned. He hadn't expected that he would be given a skill to defend against viruses and fungi so soon after he started working on the virus case.
His constitution is already strong and he is immune to common pathogens. Now, with the addition of a super phagocyte, he may even be immune to level 4 viruses, such as Hennipah virus.
Li Yisen didn't know, but he could try asking Freya for information on viruses, bacteria, and fungi to conduct experiments step by step.
Li Yisen thought about it and decided against it. When they parted last night, the woman's eyes were already chilling, as if she wanted to devour him. If she found out that he was immune to all poisons, she might try to assassinate him during that time and then dissect him for experiments.
As Lee Esen was lost in thought, the car stopped, and Kaiya knocked on the door of the first Baptist Party member, who was an ordinary-looking redneck.
"What is it?"
"We have a case we'd like to consult you about. Do you know Thomas Bird? He's a Baptist like you."
"I don't know Thomas, and I haven't participated in any Baptist Party activities for more than half a year."
The white man asked curiously.
"May I ask if you have a search warrant and an arrest warrant?"
"No, are you refusing to be questioned?"
"I won't refuse; it's police-community cooperation."
After the questioning ended, the other party went straight back to sleep, leaving Li Yisen and his companion speechless. They really didn't have a search warrant.
"Kaiya, didn't the higher-ups say a search warrant would be issued soon when they assigned the mission?"
"I don't know either. Maybe those high and mighty judicial officials aren't at work."
"The court has duty judges."

""
Are you kidding me? Not long ago they were saying the FBI and the county sheriff's office were taking this case very seriously, but now they can't even get a search warrant. Lee Ethan is speechless. If they don't get a search warrant soon, they all want to go home.
Unbeknownst to the two individuals, there was constant debate above regarding how to handle the case, with some factions wanting to wipe out the Baptist Party entirely, while others did not.
The next morning, public opinion in Los Angeles and even the country was in an uproar. Videos of Los Angeles International Airport had already been circulating online, and the death toll was being made public under the manipulation of certain individuals.
Of the more than 700 infected, fewer than 300 survived. Among them, more than 100 suffered severe brain damage, becoming either mentally disabled or intellectually disabled, and some even suffered brain death.
As a result of various factors, online public opinion became extremely heated.
"More than 400 people died; this is practically a terrorist attack."
"Those extreme scumbags deserve to die."
"Have you heard? The main culprit was arrested by Ethan Lee."
"So what if he was arrested? He was still killed anyway."
Although it cannot be hidden, there are many discrepancies in media reports.
For example, liberal media outlets would report Thomas Bird's full name, photo, profession, and residence, and would also provide details about his organization, the Baptist Party, claiming that the Baptist Party is a right-wing terrorist organization.
Conservative media outlets, on the other hand, downplayed the organizational aspect, focused on individual behavior, and highlighted that the Thomas spirit might be problematic.
After all, most right-wing militias are white, and lower-class white rednecks are the party's votes. As the mouthpiece of the party, the conservative media certainly don't want to make a big deal out of it.
Amidst the controversy, the man in charge finally defined the case as a terrorist organization: the Baptist Party.
Upon hearing this, the search warrant, which had been delayed all night, was finally in the hands of the police. At this moment, Li Yisen and Kaia, who had dark circles under their eyes, could finally get down to business.
There was a knock on the door, but this time the white male refused to open it.
"What are you people doing here?"
"We are police officers, please open the door."
"Get lost! What's wrong with the police? This is private property. I haven't broken any laws. Do you have a search warrant?"
'
"We do have a search warrant from the court, so please open the door immediately. If you don't open the door after I count to ten, you will face legal consequences."

'
Lee Esen spoke with a triumphant air, and even Kaia, with her dark circles under her eyes, seemed to feel the same way.
Imagine having to work overtime and then constantly getting frustrated because of some unsolicited instructions; the two of them were already bursting with anger.
"10, 5, 2, 1"
"Charge in."
"Bang"
The shotgun slug pierced the door. Ethan Lee had already moved away with Kaia in his arms. The two exchanged a glance and realized they had finally found the real culprit.
The two went straight back to the car and took out an M4A1 carbine. Lee Ethan couldn't help but smile.
Playing with guns is great, he loves playing with guns, and the gunshot wound from last night has long since healed.
"Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang"
After silently counting the bullets fired by the other man, Li Yisen smashed through the window and fired into the room. He then rushed over, lifted the man up, and slammed him to the ground, kneeling on the man's neck.
"Surrender."
"hateful."
After Li Yisen brought the person back to the police station, the other groups also made a lot of progress. When the state apparatus decided to suppress them, the mere militia organization could not cause any trouble.
In just one night, dozens of Baptist Party members were arrested, although most of them will be released, since they are not guilty under the law.
The only problem is that the leader of the Baptist Party and some key members have disappeared. Even when ordinary members are interrogated, they all claim that they have never seen the leader.
The investigation went on for three days, but the case made no progress. Even the FBI was in the same boat; the real target seemed to have vanished into thin air.
Inside the meeting room, all 69 detectives attended the meeting with dark circles under their eyes. They had been working overtime for several days in a row, sleeping an average of only 3 hours a day. How could they possibly keep up?
Evelyn Hill had barely sat down when her eyes closed, and she leaned her head on Ethan Lee's shoulder and fell fast asleep. Her partner, Andy Gray, was also asleep on the table.
Li Yisen didn't say anything when he saw the policewoman's thick dark circles; he was just offering her a shoulder to lean on.
However, he soon regretted it, because drops of saliva soaked his clothes, which made Lee Ethan angry. He directly pinched Evelyn's nose, and the feeling of suffocation finally woke Evelyn up.
"What are you doing, senior?"
"You're drooling."
"saliva?"
Evelyn blushed and quickly took out a tissue to wipe herself.
"I didn't mean to, I promise I won't drool next time."
"You'll have a next time."
"How stingy! I was just leaning on you for a bit, unlike you, a monster, who works overtime and still looks refreshed. I'm starting to doubt if you're even human."
Kaia, who was resting with her eyes closed, nodded in agreement.
Just then, Laura Peterson walked onto the podium.
"Everyone, please be quiet. First of all, thank you for your hard work. The investigation into the Baptism Party will be handled by Group 5. As for Group 3..."
Ethan Lee will temporarily serve as the group leader.
Many people were stunned by these words, even Kaiya opened her eyes and looked at the other person. He had become her boss?
Being able to take over the position of team leader means he's not far from becoming a Level 2 detective; otherwise, why not let other Level 2 detectives take charge?
What Laura Peterson said next made everyone feel a little better.
"Detective Ethan is only acting for a period of time until a suitable candidate is found. Everyone can go home now. We will have a day off after the funeral tomorrow."
Laura Peterson was also a little dissatisfied. Those bastards above had actually appointed a newcomer as the acting team leader. It was indeed that garbage Vanguard Project.
