US police: outlaws

Chapter 43: The Assassin's Shadow

"Damn it."

Lee Yisen was instantly exasperated. This might be septicemic plague, the infamous Black Death, whose cure rate was only 60% to 80% even in its early stages.

The worst-case scenario is that you've actually wrestled with a strong man; who knows if his respiratory droplets and blood might infect you?

"Senior, you..."

Lee Ethan quickly raised his hand to stop his partner from approaching.

"Don't come any closer."

Evelyn stopped in her tracks.

"What's wrong?"

"Immediately notify the dispatch center that the prisoner is suspected of having septicemic plague. Go out and get all the masks and gloves from the police car. Evacuate the crowd, especially those who have just been with the prisoner. The government will provide free testing later. Make sure they don't wander around."

"The Black Death?"

Evelyn's eyes were filled with horror.

"And what about you?"

"I'll arrange it, quick."

"Oh, oh, oh."

The policewoman quickly left, while Li Yisen looked at the unconscious prisoner with a complicated expression. How could he be so unlucky? The infection rate for those who had physical contact was 60%, let alone the fact that they had fought. It was 80%, 90%, or even 100%.

Now, Li Yisen only hopes that his advanced immunity talent will be strong enough to eliminate the possible plague Yersinia pestis. Of course, it would be best if he was wrong and it wasn't actually the Black Death.

Damn it.

I still couldn't help but curse.

Evelyn soon came over with the things, but Lee Ethan stopped her from getting close.

"Put on your masks and gloves, take the megaphone and go out to disperse the crowd. Leave the inside to me."

Evelyn nodded with a complicated expression.

"Okay, be careful."

Li Yisen put on a mask and gloves before approaching the unconscious prisoner, and also put on a mask and gloves for him to prevent droplets and scratching if he woke up.

As Li Yisen carefully observed the prisoner, his heart grew heavier.

Because the prisoners had swollen lymph nodes on their bodies, especially under their armpits, it went unnoticed, increasing their chances of contracting the Black Death.

(Please remember the website 20 ...

Soon after, police sirens blared as a large number of officers arrived at the scene. However, they simply cordoned off the area without entering, waiting for pandemic control personnel and special police to arrive.

Some members of the public who had shared a cell with the prisoners also voluntarily stayed, because if the prisoners were indeed infected with the Black Death, they could receive free mandatory testing during a public health emergency.

Otherwise, individual checkups would require insurance and medical insurance, which is not a simple matter.

The Los Angeles County COVID-19 response team arrived quickly. These medical personnel were wearing Class A protective suits, N99 masks, full face shields, and double gloves, which was the highest level of COVID-19 protection they had.

After examining the prisoner's symptoms and testing him with a plague F1 antigen test strip, the group nodded in approval, finally putting Li Yisen, who had been watching from a distance, at ease, because he was truly in deep trouble.

The epidemic prevention personnel approached the police and said.

"Officer, please get in our car and go to the hospital for a thorough examination."

"kindness"

......

A few hours later, at Clermont Hospital, Lee Ethan looked at the doctor with a bewildered expression.

"So that means I'm okay?"

"Yes, we used three methods: PCR, bacterial culture, and microscopic examination of smears, but we couldn't detect Yersinia pestis in your body. Actually, when I heard that you had a fight with a patient, I also thought that you must be infected."

"However, it's not incomprehensible. Physical examinations show that your immune function is beyond the range of ordinary people, and you have a special defense against bacterial infections. In my 20 years of medical practice, I have only seen a dozen or so people with your level of immunity."

The doctor suddenly proposed a deal.

"How about doing some part-time work to help me with my studies...?"

Li Yisen walked out of the doctor's office without hesitation, finally feeling relieved that he hadn't been infected.

Suddenly, a beautiful figure came into view. It was Evelyn, wearing a sterilized hospital gown, who had obviously just finished her examination.

Without the restraint of a bulletproof vest, the policewoman's hot figure drew the attention of every man, especially her exaggeratedly full figure paired with a perfectly proportioned slender waist, which perfectly explained what it means to have a slender branch bearing a large fruit.

Actually, it wasn't just Evelyn who needed testing; 60 other people were also being checked at this hospital for infection. The source of the infection, a burly man named Cage, was also receiving treatment. It's unbelievable that even at the mid-stage with only a 40% cure rate, this man was still saved.

At this time, the county's epidemic prevention center had notified the state government, and the state health department took over command and began epidemic prevention and control in Clermont, disinfecting the places where the prisoners had walked.

The most important thing is to find the source. America has plenty of experience in this regard, since there are an average of 7 cases of plague in the country every year. The infection routes are mostly through contact with infected wild animals (such as prairie dogs and squirrels) or being bitten by fleas carrying the plague bacillus.

Feeling relaxed, Li Yisen touched his partner's hair; it was very soft and felt great.

"I'm so glad you're all okay."

"Senior, don't touch my hair, or I'll report you for sexual harassment."

"Stop sexually harassing people all the time."

Evelyn slapped the other person's hand away.

"Hmph, I wouldn't have said anything if you hadn't done something reckless."

The two sat on chairs in the hospital corridor, chatting for a while before falling silent.

Li Yisen remarked with emotion.

"You messed up your internship exam. You have a history of exposure and need to be hospitalized for observation for 9 days."

The so-called exposure history is contact with pathogens, dangers, or sources of infection. Getting within two meters is acceptable, but Evelyn happened to be less than two meters away from the prisoner.

Evelyn pursed her lips.

"Consider it a vacation. But you've had a total vacation time of about a month, haven't you?"

"Haha, it's true."

Li Yisen calculated that if he stayed in the hospital for another 9 days of observation, he would have 34 days of paid leave.

Just then, something unexpected happened: Lee Ethan's Shining began to hallucinate.

In a hospital room, a doctor in protective clothing was seen inserting a syringe into an IV drip, and the person lying there was Cage.

The Shining ended. Although Ethan Lee did not witness the prisoner's death, his very presence in The Shining proved everything.

This doctor is problematic. Why would he kill a patient?

Unless the other party doesn't want Cage to live, for example, by revealing certain information.

Li Yisen rushed to the ICU without hesitation, ignoring the fact that he had encountered him.

"I'll go check on the prisoner."

"I'll go too."

With their police identities, Li Yisen and his companion successfully entered the ICU area, where they happened to see a "doctor" wearing a mask coming out of a ward.

The three looked at each other, and the doctor nodded calmly in greeting, until Li Yisen stopped a nurse who was passing by, at which point his eyes widened.

"Nurse, who is this doctor?"

The nurse was taken aback and instinctively looked at the doctor before speaking.

"This is... wait, you're not a doctor from our area, are you? How can you be in the ICU ward?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the doctor turned and ran away at an extremely fast speed.

Ethan had anticipated this and gave chase. At the same time, he asked Evelyn to notify the hospital, where there were many police officers present, so the other party should not be able to escape.

"stop."

The doctor didn't stop; instead, he grabbed the metal tray containing his tools and threw it at the police.

"Thump"

Lee Esen gripped the iron plate firmly, though the muscles in his hands were still quite sore.

"Here you go."

The iron plate successfully struck the man's back, allowing Li Yisen to catch up.

But before Li Yisen could pin the other man down, the doctor suddenly kicked Li Yisen back several steps with a back kick, and then followed up with a barrage of punches.

Lee Ethan was struggling to defend, retreating as he tried to block, as his opponent's fighting skills and speed far exceeded his expectations.

The doctor's eyes flashed with malice as he twisted his body and struck the enemy's temple with his elbow.

Li Yisen barely managed to raise his hand to block, but the opponent's fatal blow was so powerful that even though he blocked it, his head still slammed into the wall. Now, not only was his head aching, but his forearm was also red and swollen. If it weren't for his super strong bones, he might have suffered a comminuted fracture.
