Chapter 4 New Heroes in Action

Li Jie parked his car on the outskirts of the Sixth street, where there are a lot of car thieves because of the disorder. After a 10-minute walk, Li Jie was literally inside the sixth block.

Unlike the clean and comfortable 15th block where I grew up, the sixth block feels dirty. There are few tall buildings, no big shopping malls, and the few small convenience stores have closed early. There are also abandoned houses on both sides of the street that look like they haven't been lived in for some time.

And many of the walls have been painted with self-paint by street graffiti enthusiasts, a type of street art that originated in the slums, where it's hard to see things in nice neighborhoods. Li Jie had never walked alone at night in such a slum.

The crime rate in New York's poor neighborhoods is one of the highest in the world, with hundreds of shootings and robberies at knifepoint occurring every day in the city's poor neighborhoods, while other crimes like theft are much higher. Especially in areas with large concentrations of illegal immigrants and Mexicans. New York is bright by day, but at night it reveals a darker side.

Sixth Street was empty at night, and there were few people on the street. It was only 8.30 at night, and it was nothing like the other bustling parts of Queens, even though it was still lit up at midnight. Although Li Jie was walking alone in the street, few people came to trouble him. Because Li Jie is one meter 82 meters tall, the body also appears to be more robust, it does not look very troublesome.

General criminals will also choose the target of crime, basically are some relatively thin young people or resistance ability is relatively poor women and the elderly. Few people go straight for a strong man.

Li Jie wandered up and down the street for almost two hours, including a trip to the equally rough Fifth Street, but heck, there was no crime. "Oh, hell!" Li Jie swore under his breath. "Are the bullies off today?" It was already past ten o 'clock in the evening. If there was nothing found, Li Jie had to go home, or it would be too late. When Li Jie was depressed, he suddenly heard something coming from the alley next to him.

"Eight women ~! Be a good boy and give me your money! Or I'll paint your face with flowers!" A middle-aged white man with a bald head in a quiet alley is snarling at a woman. The bald head looks strong, the fierce look the strong body.

And the opposite woman is very thin, thin body some dry hair, looks like there is no meat hands tightly grasp their leather bag "Please ~ please, Sir! You can't take that money! My baby is in the hospital, and he doesn't have health insurance! Without money, the baby gets kicked out of the hospital! I need the money!" Although the woman was shivering with fear, she still clung to the bag. She chose between her own safety and the safety of her child.

Although women are strong, but how can you be reasonable with a bad person? Even though she tried to hold on to her purse, how could a thin woman have the strength to stand up to a strong grown man? The bald man slapped the woman in the face, knocking her to the ground and leaving her cheek high and swollen.

The bald man grabbed the bag and started to leave, but at the end of the alley walked into a strange man dressed all in gray with a funny black belt and hood around his waist.

Li Jie just walked into the alley, took a look at the knocked over woman and the fierce bald man with a woman's leather bag in front of him, and basically figured out what was going on. This was a common robbery all over the world. And in the alley before coming in, but also vaguely heard the woman loudly beg for mercy, inside the money is for the child to see a doctor.

Li Jie now feels very unhappy, although not a sense of justice, but Li Jie can not sit by and watch a mother prepared for the child's life money robbed. Even if you didn't get the hero system today, even if you were a human being, you would want to prevent this from happening.

Bald man found the opposite Li Jie seems to be obviously to their own, immediately put up a fighting posture. "Hey! Man! Stay out of trouble, this is Stanton territory, and get out of my way!" The bald man pulled out a switchblade and lowered his weight in a combat-ready posture.

From the bald man's posture, it is not difficult to see that this man is a lot of street fighting experience. Although Li Jie was still far away from him, he was ready to fight. On the streets of the ghetto, fighting, stabbing and getting stabbed are the norm, and a proper gangster should always be ready to fight. Switchblades are the go-to weapon for almost every street gangster and gang member, and far more people are killed by switchblades each year in the United States than by guns!

"What if I said I'm not going to get out of the way, and I want you to give the bag back to that lady over there?" Li Jie's voice was cold. If he was a gangster like this, Li Jie wouldn't mess with him. But gaining the ability to be an E hero today gives him the confidence to take on this punk, who is armed with a switchblade, not a Colt M1911.

"Death! The bald man bellowed a word, and rushed up with a brisk stride. The switchblade in his hand was aimed at the position of Li Jie's kidney and stabbed him. You can tell by the sting that the bald man has done this kind of thing before, and the whole thing goes together very quickly and very quickly. Even a trained police officer is bound to be stabbed if he or she is not adequately prepared.

If you do get stabbed in the kidney, not dying is a serious disability. Bald man really let Li Jie some surprise, although two people but this situation for the first time. This was no ordinary street fight, but a real murder.

To his surprise, Li Jie's body reacted faster than his brain. At the moment when the tip of the knife was close to the body, Li Jie's hand quickly grabbed the wrist of the bald man holding the knife like lightning. Then, like muscle memory, Li Jie's hands twisted and he heard a crack! The bald man's right wrist with the knife has been directly twisted off. But the bald man was really fierce, and even if one of his hands was torn off, he did not scream, but aroused his fierce nature!

The bald man loosened the leather bag he was holding with his left hand, then clenched his fist and tried to punch Li Jie on the temple. Li Jie's fighting experience is not enough, but after all, the system has transmitted basic fighting skills (mastery). Although he was found late, Li avoided the punch with his more agile body.

Li Jie released the bald man's right hand, took a step back, and directly attacked the bald man's left arm. Because the left fist attack failed before, the bald man had no time to take back his left hand to defend, and was hit hard by Li Jie. This time Li Jie is angry, no force and also used internal work.

This shot soon showed Li just how terrible his destructive power was. The attack was directed at the bald man's armpits, but the powerful force was transmitted and directly damaged his shoulder bones. The entire left shoulder was unnaturally deformed and appeared to have broken several shoulder bones. And the ribs of the left armpit were obviously broken several times. The bald man, who had always been tough, let out a scream and fainted with pain.

After making sure that the bald man was really unconscious, Li Jie picked up the woman's leather bag and patted the dirt on it. Then he walked over and handed it to the woman who was still in a daze. "Ma 'am, I think this belongs to you." After taking the bag Li Jie handed over, the lady recovered her mind.

Just Li Jie and bald man fight in fact is only in the flash of fire, before and after only six or seven seconds. The woman was worried that Li Jie would be stabbed by the vicious bald man, but in a blink of an eye, she found that the bald man was knocked unconscious by Li Jie. All this happened too fast.

"Oh, thank you. Thank you so much, Sir!" The woman responded and thanked Li Jie. "My child is in hospital and needs this money very much. Thank you very much indeed!" "You're welcome, ma 'am. I think anyone with a sense of justice will prevent this vicious happening. And I hope your child gets well soon." Li Jie responded.

Li Jie then thought again, walked over to the bald man and took out more than $2,000 in cash from him. The general old United States rarely take so much cash out, most of them are swipe cards, will only take dozens of pieces of change, take hundreds of pieces is much.

Li Jie estimated that this should be this guy robbed tonight, Li Jie did not welcome all out. "Madam, I think your child will need these." Li Jie said, he found more than two thousand dollars from the bald man and handed it to the lady who was saved tonight. Anyway, it was generous. Li Jie was also very generous. "Oh ~ no ~ Sir ~ this........" The lady was struggling. She really needed the money. Without health insurance, health care in the United States is extremely expensive. Relying on his meager salary can only provide the child with the most basic medical treatment. After a long struggle and hesitation, the woman took the dollar from Li Jie. "Thank you! Thanks! I ~ I don't know what to say, thank you, Sir." The lady who took the money was already sobbing.

"Now, now, ma 'am, get out of here. You need to go home early, this block is not safe." "Li Jie consoled. Li Jie comforted the woman to leave the alley and then quickly left the sixth block. It wasn't until she was very far away that she realized that she had forgotten to ask the name of the man who was helping her. The woman tried to remember Li Jie's face again and realized that she didn't seem to get a good look at Li Jie hidden under his hood.

After the woman left, Li Jie stepped on the bald man's right elbow. It took out his right elbow, too. Bald men with both hands dismembered won't be able to commit crimes if they want. Li Jie then quickly left the sixth block to go home, and the bald man left him there to die.

As for calling the police, Li Jie has no interest whatsoever. With no evidence, no witnesses, I'm guessing that even if the police came and grabbed the bald guy they would have set him free, and they would have gotten themselves into unnecessary trouble. Maybe the police will take him to a public hospital for treatment. Hey ~! Li Jie's family doesn't pay that much tax a year for this kind of scum!
