Chapter 113 The Boss Was Killed
A chilling scene unfolded in the waiting area: hundreds of infected people were killing each other.
Imagine couples whispering sweet nothings to each other just minutes ago, or loving family members, and now they're killing each other because of hallucinations, with some even lying on the ground convulsing. No one can accept this scene calmly.
Lee Esen, who had killed countless people, didn't seem to feel much.
"Thank goodness it's not a biohazard, otherwise if a bunch of zombies came out, we would really have to run away."
Kaiya rolled her eyes at the man. Was this the time for jokes?
Li Yisen didn't bother to look inside; he was determined not to go in, no matter what.
While observing the crowd leaving, I suddenly noticed a man wearing a mask who seemed suspicious. Putting aside the fact that he appeared more composed than the average person, it's not like it's a pandemic; who would wear a mask on a daily basis?
Lee Ethan gestured to his companion with his eyes, and then followed.
Perhaps realizing he had been discovered by the police, the man hurriedly pushed several people aside and ran away; he was none other than the culprit, Thomas Bird.
Li Yisen took a deep breath, and the next second his 39 points of agility exploded, allowing him to run 100 meters in 8 seconds. In less than two minutes, the man was gradually being caught up by Li Yisen, so he took out a pistol from his tool bag.
"Bang bang bang bang"
Lee Ethan immediately recognized that it wasn't a large-caliber pistol, and became even more brazen.
He unleashed his full power in an instant, his clothes, which had been fitting perfectly, suddenly tightened, and he seemed to swell up. With one hand raised to shield his eyes and the other covering his groin, he charged forward openly.
Thomas Bird was stunned. Having grown up in that family, he had witnessed all sorts of human evil, but he had never seen a monster charging at him with bullets, even if it was just 9mm bullets. No, it was a .45 caliber pistol.
"What kind of monster are you?"
"Bang"
With just one impact, Thomas Bird flew several meters away, feeling as if his entire body had fallen apart and he was unable to move.
Lee Esen roughly handcuffed the prisoner before examining the items in his toolbox. A misting fan device further confirmed his suspicion that the man was the murderer.
If there hadn't been people watching, he definitely would have punched them a few times to vent his anger.
Suddenly, several shouts rang out.
"Don't move."
Police backup finally arrived. After all, the airport was a key area for police security, and several city police officers pointed their pistols at Lee Ethan.
"I am Los Angeles County Sheriff's Detective Ethan Lee. This man next to me is the perpetrator of the terrorist attack."
Soon the entire airport was filled with a large number of Los Angeles City Police and County Sheriffs, no less than several thousand people, and the airport was completely isolated from the outside world.
Ordinary people on the periphery need to be isolated for observation, and they need to be vaccinated if any problems arise. Fortunately, this type of vaccine is given only after infection, otherwise there really wouldn't be enough.
The first batch of 700 vaccines was quickly used up, but fortunately the second batch of vaccines, which was shipped from Atlanta, arrived just in time to land at the international airport.
A group of people in protective suits were busy at work. The medical staff on site included not only those from the epidemic prevention center, but also those from surrounding hospitals.
After all, this is a major event involving hundreds of infections, and local hospitals and medical organizations cannot completely ignore it.
In the makeshift quarantine center, Freya, one of the supporting doctors, wearing protective clothing, was helping Ethan remove a bullet stuck in his arm muscle, her eyes filled with excitement.
"You've really become a monster; even bullets can't penetrate you."
"A little trick."
"I have no idea what techniques can stop a bullet."
Freya took out a syringe meant for ordinary people; the liquid inside was a vaccine.
"I seriously doubt whether a regular syringe could be inserted."
After a moment, the two were speechless as they looked at the bent needle.
However, Freya was also unprepared, and took out a titanium alloy needle that was 5 centimeters long.
"I never thought I'd actually need it. This is what I used to draw rhinoceros blood a while ago."
"Give me the blood-drawing stuff you gave to animals."
"So, are you going to fight or not?"
Li Yisen couldn't guarantee that he wasn't infected, so he could only obediently accept the tools used by these beasts.
Even so, Freya still couldn't get in, so Ethan Li had to do it himself.
The police officers are fine, but the situation in the quarantined waiting area is not optimistic.
A large group of police officers and doctors in protective suits went inside. The situation inside made some people vomit, and the expressions of the others were also very unpleasant.
The West Chester neighborhood police chief (inspector) muttered to himself.
"God, is this hell?"
Corpses were scattered everywhere, with various wounds remaining on their bodies. The remaining patients were either convulsing or still fighting, while only a few people were smashing things in the corner.
"Stop them from getting vaccinated immediately."
It's relatively easy to deal with patients who collapse and convulse, but it's more difficult to handle patients who are aggressive.
"Use restraint forks and stun guns, quick, they won't last long."
As for the possibility that using a stun gun might hasten the patient's death, they couldn't care less about that anymore.
Soon, a large number of patients were subdued and vaccinated. For patients who had entered the middle and late stages, even after being vaccinated, the survival rate was no more than 4%.
When the pandemic broke out, the entire city of Los Angeles was thrown into turmoil. After all, an incident at California's largest airport is a huge blow to the country and ordinary people.
On a high-rise building in Los Angeles, a middle-aged man is yelling into his phone.
"How dare you not only let Thomas steal those viruses, but also let him personally carry out terrorist attacks? Are you all insane?"
"We didn't want this either. You know very well the internal structure of our Baptist Party. We don't know what they're thinking or what they're doing on their own, and we can't control it."
The man certainly knew that these right-wing extremist groups were connected through online ideological incitement and had no actual chain of command. It could be said that every action was an individual act, and it was not surprising that the organization was unaware of it. Just like this terrorist attack, it was a matter of a few people discussing it and then taking action.
"I don't care what the actual situation is. Now that he's been caught, I don't want it to implicate us. This is a matter for your Baptist Party. You know very well that the federal government will never allow the Baptist Party to exist again. Only I can help you."
The other side fell silent and eventually gave in.
"Don't worry, we'll handle it, but we need intelligence."
"No problem. Just remember, if we can support one Baptist Party, we can support another."
Meanwhile, Thomas Bird, the culprit, is being escorted back to the county sheriff's headquarters by the police. The task force's base is located at the county sheriff's headquarters.
A convoy of three police cars was moving along the highway, and inside the prison van, Team Leader Bob Reed was glaring menacingly at Thomas Bird.
"Do you know about the Lennie murder case?"
"I don't know what you're talking about."
Bob Reed grabbed the prisoner by the collar and yelled.
"I know it has something to do with your Baptist Party."
Thomas said nonchalantly.
"I'm not a member of the Baptist Party, and you know what's going on with these right-wing extremist groups."
""
"You bastard."
Just as Bob Reed was about to ask something, something unexpected happened. A large truck suddenly blocked the road, causing the car in front to crash into it.
Before the police car could turn, a rocket launcher had already hit the prison van in the middle, blowing the entire vehicle over.
"boom"
The fate of the people inside the car was unknown, and the other police officers quickly stopped the car and took precautions.
"Enemy attack, calling for backup."
The deployment of thousands of police officers at the international airport, coupled with insufficient manpower, provided an opportunity for some with malicious intent.
More than a dozen armed thugs appeared from all around and opened fire on the other police cars without hesitation.
"Bang bang bang bang bang"
The bullets pierced the glass, killing police officers one by one, demonstrating a ruthless and experienced skill.
Three masked men approached the overturned prison van and used explosives to cover the door.
Meanwhile, the situation inside the car was far from optimistic. Bob Reed was pointing a pistol at the car door, bleeding profusely from his head and with a broken hand. Beside him was Thomas Bird, who was also seriously injured.
"Damn it, they're here to save you."
Thomas Bird coughed up blood.
"Look at this situation, are they here to save me? They're so heartless, even though we're all of the same blood."
"Who are you talking about?"
Thomas Bird looked at his hands, as if lost in some kind of memory.
"I don't know the details of the Lennie murder case, but I do know one thing: the case involves my last name."
"Surname, Bird?"
"Yes, that's it..."
Before Thomas Bird could finish speaking, the explosion left the two men barely alive, and three masked men walked in and opened fire on them.
"Bang bang bang bang"
Thomas Bird, in particular, was riddled with wounds.
With their objective achieved, the criminals didn't bother to kill all the police officers. Instead, they drove away, leaving several survivors gasping for breath; they had nearly died.
Who on earth dared to attack a police car in the street and even knew their route?
When Ethan Lee and his team returned to the police station, it was already 11 p.m., but they couldn't leave work yet because their team leader had died, and everyone had to work overtime.
Laura Peterson, head of the Homicide and Violent Crime Division, stood on the podium and began to speak.
"Team leader Bob Reed is dead. He was killed along with the inmates by unidentified thugs. The county sheriff's headquarters has decided to investigate the Baptist Party."
Many people were somewhat prepared for this statement, but it still came as a surprise, since these right-wing extremist groups are often militias, and the Second Amendment to the Constitution recognizes the right of citizens to bear arms and the legality of militias.
White supremacist militias use these "protective shields" to claim themselves as "patriotic defense organizations."
What's most frightening is that these militia organizations and the National Guard are still closely linked, because the first National Guard was composed of militia organizations, and even the General Secretary of the Congratulatory Party has publicly supported these militia organizations.
Although the Baptist Party is just a local California militia organization with about 100 official members, it is still one of the branches of the Ku Klux Klan. The Klan has a long history, and even though its influence has greatly diminished, its 72 branches across the country still have about 5000 members.
As for America's strongest militia organization, it is the Oathkeepers, with over 2 official members. Most frighteningly, it includes over 3000 retired military personnel, making it a paramilitary organization.
Deputy Section Chief Eric Harris swallowed hard.
"Section Chief, are we really going to investigate?"
"Don't worry, we're just investigating, and the FBI will be involved as well."
That evening, the county police department began a surprise investigation into those who participated in the baptism party within the county. Unfortunately, while law enforcement wanted to crack down, the judicial authorities might not be so sure.
