Li Yisen wasn't in the mood to look at the system reward information. What he cared about most was why the system showed a value of 10 when a car worth 50 had exploded.
Unless there are valuables in the car, and what valuables would a gang smuggle? Most likely drugs, or other electronic products or luxury goods.
Damn, burning drugs is no good. It pollutes the air, contaminates the soil for over a decade, and damages the ecological environment.
"Evelyn, let's get out of here quickly."
"What happened?"
"I suspected there were drugs in the car, and now it's been set on fire."
Upon hearing this, the policewoman realized something and hurriedly closed the plane door, retreating into the distance.
Li Yisen felt he was in deep trouble. If it really was drugs that caused the widespread pollution, even though he was innocent, he would still be affected.
At the same time, another fleeing car crashed into an armored vehicle that had arrived at the scene, and a gunfight immediately broke out between the two sides.
"Bang bang bang bang bang"
The semi-automatic rifle bullets had no effect on the armored vehicle; instead, several police officers inside the vehicle returned fire through the gun ports.
With similar weapons on both sides, one side had the advantage of defense and numbers, and what followed was a one-sided battle.
"Run! Run!"
Edward noticed the car was trying to escape, so he opened the roof, exposed half of his body, and fired at the vehicle. Soon, the car, with its tires and engine blown out, stalled.
In the end, two of the gunmen were killed, and the remaining one surrendered.
When Edward took the items out of the trunk, everyone was somewhat disappointed, because these things were not drugs, but a variety of smuggled goods.
Unactivated iPhone flagship phones, smuggled drugs, etc.
This result was bad news for the other police officers, but definitely good news for Ethan Lee.
"As long as it's not drugs."
On the plane that had already landed, Evelyn excitedly hugged Ethan Lee and kissed him on the cheek.
"Thankfully, there were no drugs."
"Yeah, so you're taking advantage of me?"
Evelyn blushed and sat back in her seat, retorting with a haughty air.
"No, I just got so excited I didn't notice."

Now that the trouble was over, Lee Ethan focused his attention on the M1117 armored vehicle. According to the system logic, it made sense. The 2-star resource reward was between 10 and 99, and an M1117 armored vehicle was worth about 80 US dollars.
The unexpected weapon in hand made Lee Ethan's heart pound as he prepared to take action.
"They're about to make their move; let's wait until they decide the victor."
Evelyn, who was standing nearby, asked curiously.
"Senior, what did you just say?"
Li Yisen directly pinched the policewoman's cheek.
"It's nothing, it's just that my partner and I had some bad luck and almost got into trouble."
"It wasn't my fault, you were the one who blew up the car."
"If you dare to contradict your boss, I think you're asking for trouble."
After several days of continuous police crackdowns on the Loki Society, the Dust Storm and the Scorpion Gang finally decided to launch an attack on Palm Valley. They believed that if they could take down the Loki Society's stronghold in Palm Valley, they would achieve their goal.
Otherwise, if the fighting continued, the police might have to intervene and suppress the protests themselves. So, as night fell, more than twenty cars headed toward Palm Valley.
Gunshots rang out all night, and when Lee Ethan returned to the police station, he heard unexpected news.
"You think Loki will win?"
"We won. According to those Dust Storm Party members who escaped, they were ambushed on the STE240 route last night, with dozens of them killed or wounded. Most importantly, the leaders of the Dust Storm Party and the Scorpion Gang were assassinated at their headquarters."
"
Upon hearing this, Li Yisen couldn't help but sigh.
"I didn't expect Loki to actually turn the tables. It seems that I'm the only thorn in their side now."
Evelyn nodded.
"I estimate that Loki won't cause any trouble for a while, but we still need to be careful."
"I need to be careful. I plan to take a few days off and go on a trip."
"ha?"
"I'm leaving the police station in your care."
As they suspected, Division Chief Jason Garcia did indeed call, demanding a halt to operations against the Rocky Society and a resumption of routine patrols.
"Ethan, you should know when to stop. Everyone can see that you've been deliberately targeting the Loki these past few days, making some colleagues suspect you're collaborating with the Dust Storm. Now that the gang warfare is over, don't stir up any more trouble. Just maintain stability. Don't worry, the FBI will investigate the Loki secretly."
"Understood, I plan to rest for two days."
"Rest is good too."
That evening, Lee Ethan went to Las Vegas to gamble, but the luxurious environment did not make him linger. Instead, he left with illusions and rushed back.
The following evening, in the northern part of Lancaster, Ethan Lee was on the rooftop watching the situation across the street.
Across the street is the headquarters of the Loki Society. It has to be said that the security is really tight to prevent retaliation from both sides, with at least 40 security personnel inside and outside the building.
"It's good that the alert hasn't been lifted yet, at least most of the high-ranking officials will be gathered together."
Even high-ranking gangsters are afraid of death. They dared to assassinate the enemy's boss and succeed, so of course they would guard against being assassinated themselves.
"It's time to get ready."
As the sunlight completely disappeared, Li Yisen's figure blended into the darkness as he moved about.
At the Rocky Foundation headquarters, three senior executives are discussing the police ultimatum issued not long ago in a conference room.
"That's what Charles Thompson, the top leader, said calmly."
"The police told us to behave ourselves."
Austin Scott, the second-in-command, complained.
"What's there to restrain? This isn't the first or second time our gangs have fought over territory. Why are they meddling in our affairs?"
In the eyes of the gangsters, the black and even gray areas, such as slums, should be dealt with by their underground forces. So what if a few people die? They are gangsters who die, and it doesn't affect people in the desert. That's America's rule.
The police's attitude towards gangs is indeed like this: the larger the gang, the less likely the police are to try to eradicate it completely unless the impact is too serious. At most, they will try to suppress and divide the gang.
Third-in-command Carey Turner pointed out.
"It wasn't the mob, it was the police. The state trooper who died a few days ago was killed by us, and there were also cops from Lano town involved."
"Damn cops."
Charles Thompson tapped the table.
"Since the police are asking us to, we can just agree."
"Big brother."
"Austin, you're still too impulsive."
"6
'
Charles Thompson gave his orders.
"Don't mess with Ethan Lee for at least a year. Once the storm has completely passed, we'll take over our territory in Lake Los Angeles and Victorville, and then we can deal with Ethan Lee slowly. As long as he doesn't leave the desert region, we'll eventually crush him."
"Um."
Just then, some people exclaimed outside the window. Carey Turner curiously went over to take a look and immediately exclaimed in surprise.
"M1117 armored vehicle?"
Austin Scott immediately slammed his fist on the table.
"Ethan Lee dared to drive an armored vehicle here. What does he want?"
"It's not Ethan Lee's armored vehicle. This one has a turret, so it's probably from Edwards Air Force Base."
Why are military vehicles coming this way?
Carey Turner suddenly noticed that the armored vehicle's turret was rotating and aiming in their direction.
"What is it doing?"
The next second, the sound of cannon fire rang out.
"boom"
