Chapter 4 New Heroes in Action
Li Jie parked his car on the outskirts of the sixth block. Because of the chaos of law and order, there were quite a few car thieves in the sixth block. After walking for about ten minutes, Li Jie entered the interior of the sixth block.
Unlike the clean and comfortable 15th Street that I grew up in, the 6th Street feels dirty. There are basically no high-rise buildings, no large shopping malls, and only a few small convenience stores closed early. There are also some abandoned houses on both sides of the street, all of which appear to have been unoccupied for a while.
And many of the walls are sprayed with various patterns by street graffiti enthusiasts with self-spray paint. This is a kind of street art that originated in the slums, and it is difficult to see these things in good neighborhoods. Li Jie had never walked alone on the streets of such a slum at night before.
Keep in mind that New York's ghettos have one of the highest crime rates in the world. There are hundreds of shootings and knife robberies a day in the city's ghettos, and other crimes like theft have a higher rate. Especially in areas with a large concentration of illegal immigrants and Mexicans. New York is bright during the day, but New York at night will show his dark side.
The sixth block was empty at night, and there were not many people on the street. And it's only 8.30pm. It's not like other bustling places in Queens at all, and it's still brightly lit even at midnight. Although Li Jie was walking on the street alone, no one came forward to trouble him. Because Li Jie is 1.82 meters tall, and his body is relatively strong, he doesn't look very easy to mess with.
Ordinary criminals will also choose the target of the crime, which is basically some relatively thin young people or women and old people with poor resistance. Few people would directly target physically strong men.
Li Jie wandered back and forth on the street for about two hours, and in the middle he went to the fifth block, which was also very poor in security, but he didn't encounter a crime. "Oh~ hell," Li Jie cursed in a low voice. "Are all those bastards on vacation today!" It was already past ten o'clock in the evening. If Li Jie didn't find anything, he would have to go home, otherwise it would be too late. When Li Jie was depressed, he suddenly heard a movement in the alley next to him.
"Baby~! Obediently take out the money! Otherwise, be careful I will paint your face!" A bald middle-aged white man said viciously to a woman in a secluded alley. The bald head looks very strong, and the fierce appearance is strong.
On the other hand, the woman on the other side looked very thin, with a thin body and some dry hair, and her hands that didn't seem to have any flesh were clutching her purse tightly, "Please~ Please, sir! You can't take this money. Qian, my child is being treated in the hospital, and he has no medical insurance! If there is no money, the child will be kicked out of the hospital! I need this money!" Although the woman was trembling with fear, she still held onto her purse tightly. open. Between her own safety and the safety of her children, she chose the latter.
Although women are strong, how can they be reasonable to a bad person? How could a thin woman have the strength to stand up to a sturdy adult man, no matter how hard she tried to grab her purse? The bald man slapped the woman directly in the face, and the woman was knocked directly to the ground, her cheeks swollen high.
The bald man grabbed the purse and was about to leave, but at the entrance of the alley walked in a strange man dressed in gray with a ridiculous black belt and a hood around his waist.
Li Jie just walked into the alley and glanced at the woman who was knocked over and the vicious bald man in front of him with the lady's purse. He basically guessed what was going on. This is a common robbery all over the world. . And before entering the alley, I could vaguely hear the woman begging for mercy loudly, and the money in it was for the child's medical treatment.
Li Jie feels very unhappy now. Although he is not a person with a strong sense of justice, Li Jie can't sit back and watch the life-saving money prepared by a mother for the child being robbed. Even if you don't get the hero system today, even if you are just an ordinary person, you will want to prevent this from happening.
The bald man noticed that Li Jie, who was facing him, was obviously coming for him, and immediately put on a fighting stance. "Hey~! Dude! Don't get in trouble, this is our Stanton Gang's territory, let me get out of the way!" The bald man took out a switchblade and lowered his body weight to make a picture ready to fight attitude.
From the posture of the bald man, it is not difficult to see that this person has a lot of street fighting experience. Although Li Jie is still some distance away from him, he is ready to fight. On the streets of slums, fighting, stabbing and being stabbed are the norm. A qualified gangster should always be ready to fight. And switch knives are basically a must-have weapon for every street gangster and gang member, and more people die each year with switch knives than with guns in the United States!
"What if I said, I'm not going to get out of the way, and I want you to return the purse to the lady over there?" Li Jie's voice was a little cold. If it was this kind of gang gangster in the past, Li Jie would definitely not provoke it. But the ability to get an E-class hero today gave him the confidence to deal with this kind of gangster. The opponent is just holding a switchblade, not a Colt M1911.
"Looking for death!" The bald man growled lowly, and he rushed up with a quick step, and the switchblade in his hand aimed at the position of Li Jie's kidney and stabbed him. This thorn shows that the bald man has done this kind of thing before, and the whole action is very fast and agile in one go. Even a professionally trained police officer is bound to be stabbed without adequate precautions.
If you really have to be stabbed in the kidneys, you will be severely disabled if you don't die. The bald-headed man's ruthlessness really surprised Li Jie a little. Although the two lived together, this is the first time that this kind of situation has come across. This is not an ordinary street fight, but a real killing.
Surprised to be surprised, Li Jie's body responded a little faster than his mind. Just as the tip of the knife was about to approach his body, Li Jie's hand grabbed the bald man's wrist holding the knife as fast as lightning. Then, like muscle memory, Li Jie's hands twisted only to hear a click! The right wrist of the bald man holding the knife was directly twisted off. But the bald man is really fierce. Even if one of his hands is twisted, he does not scream, but instead arouses his fierceness!
The bald man loosened the leather bag he was holding in his left hand, and then clenched his fist to punch Li Jie's temple. Li Jie's fighting experience is not enough, but after all, the basic fighting (proficient) skills have been transmitted by the system. Although it was discovered relatively late, Li Jie, relying on a more agile body, avoided the punch.
Li Jie let go of the bald man's right hand and took a step back, and directly punched the underarm of the bald man's left hand. Because the previous attack of the left fist failed, the bald man didn't have time to withdraw his left hand to defend, and was hit hard by Li Jie. This time, Li Jie shot in anger, he didn't spare his strength, and he also used his internal strength.
This shot immediately made Li Jie discover how terrifying his destructive power was. Although it attacked the bald man's armpit, the powerful force directly destroyed his shoulder bones. The entire left shoulder showed an unnatural deformation, which seemed to directly break several shoulder bones. The rib part of the left armpit was also obviously broken several times. The bald man, who had always been tough, also let out a scream, and then fainted in pain.
After confirming that the bald man was really faint, Li Jie picked up the lady's leather bag and patted the soil on it, walked over and handed it to the lady who was still in a daze. "Ma'am, I think this should be yours." After taking the purse handed over by Li Jie, the lady regained her senses.
Just now, the fight between Li Jie and the bald man was actually just between lightning and flint, and it only took six or seven seconds before and after. The lady was a little worried that Li Jie would be stabbed by the vicious bald man, but in the blink of an eye, she found that the bald man had been stunned by Li Jie. All this happened too fast.
"Oh~ thank you~ thank you so much sir!" The lady thanked Li Jie after she reacted. "My child is in the hospital and desperately needs this money, thank you so much!" "You're welcome, ma'am. I think anyone with a sense of justice would have prevented this viciousness from happening. And wish your child a speedy recovery. "Li Jie responded.
Li Jie then thought about it again, walked over to the bald man, and took out more than two thousand dollars in cash from him. Generally, old Americans rarely bring so much cash when they go out. Most of them use credit cards and only bring dozens of yuan in change, even a few hundred yuan is too much.
Li Jie guessed that this guy grabbed it tonight, and Li Jie took it all out without hesitation. "Ma'am, I think your child needs these." Li Jie said, and handed the more than two thousand dollars he found from the bald man to the lady who was rescued tonight. Anyway, it was all generous, and Li Jie was also very generous. Generous. "Oh~no~sir~this." The lady was struggling, she really needed the money. Without health insurance in the United States, the cost of medical care is extremely high. Relying on their meager wages can only do the most basic treatment for children. After struggling and hesitating for a long time, the lady still took the dollar handed by Li Jie. "Thank you! Thank you! I~ I don't know what to say, thank you sir." The lady who took the money was already sobbing.
"Okay~Okay~ Madam, hurry up and get out of here. You need to go home early, this block is not safe." Li Jie comforted. Under Li Jie's comfort, the lady left the alley and quickly left the sixth block. It wasn't until she walked a long way that she remembered that she forgot to ask the name of the husband who helped her. The lady tried to recall Li Jie's appearance again, and found that she didn't seem to see clearly what Li Jie was hiding under the hood.
After the lady left, Li Jie stepped on the right elbow of the bald man. Directly abolished his right elbow. In the future, the bald man with his hands abolished will not be able to do anything even if he wants to commit murder. Then Li Jie quickly left the sixth block to go home. As for the bald man, he stayed there and let him fend for himself.
As for calling the police or something, Li Jie has no interest. Without evidence and witnesses, it is estimated that even if the police come and arrest the bald man, he will be released, and it will bring unnecessary trouble to himself. Maybe the police will send him to a public hospital for treatment. hey~! Li Jie's family paying so much tax a year is not for this kind of scum!
