Chapter 338
"Can an arrow made of iron really shoot that far?"
"In theory, it's possible. Although it sounds counterintuitive, it really happened. If we had stayed on the bench and hadn't left, we might have caught that arrow right in front of us."
Upon hearing this, the Nightingale frowned, her face showing worry, and said:
"Can Doctor Zhong and the others handle this? Should we go back and check what's going on?"
Shining looked back at the path she had come from and shook her head.
"With Doctor Zhong here, nothing will go wrong. Let's go back as soon as possible and report to the Doctor."
Before she could finish speaking, she noticed that the large black iron arrow had actually flown back in the direction it had come from.
There seems to be a human figure up there.

After handing over the information on Plot Zero to the intermediary of the Supervision Committee, Sona led her team back to the temporary base.
Meanwhile, an elderly female Knight arrived at the area where infected people were concentrated.
She saw the Flame Tail Knight and greeted him:
"Come here quickly, let me take a good look at you."
Sona turned around at the sound of the voice and gasped in surprise when she saw the person. The elderly visitor was Ms. Demian, a member of the Knight Association and the Supervision Committee.
"You... how did you get here?"
"Don't be surprised, I'm not here on official business today. I heard that the Infected Knight recently made a deal with the Supervision Committee, is that right?"
Seeing that Sona did not reply, she continued:
"In order to allow the remaining Infected Knight to survive in the Grand Knight Territory, you agreed to the Supervision Committee's demands and caused a major power outage in four cities."
Flame Tail Knight wasn't sure what the other person's motives were in coming to find her. Therefore, she chose to remain silent when faced with the accusation of causing the power outage.
"Don't be nervous, little squirrel. I will take care of all the procedures, official documents and legal documents approved by the National Assembly that the Supervision Committee promised you. It will take about a week to formally legislate."
"Really? That's wonderful, thank you!"
"No need for thanks, it's what I should do. I admire you, Pinecone Knights. But you should also know that legislation alone cannot solve all problems."
Sona nodded in agreement, understanding that the other person was referring to the divide between infected and non-infected individuals.
Various prejudices and discriminations stand like a thick wall, impossible to resolve through legislation.
"I know, Ms. Demian. But some things have to be done."

Shi Lei stepped onto the black iron arrow and went to return the greeting.
The whistling wind rushed past his ears, and the city's clamor rose below, but his heart remained calm.
Following the direction of the trail, Shi Lei soon discovered a commercial building with more than forty floors.
The rooftop was deserted, and the ground was still dented from the fixing devices used to mount the Great Bow.
To shoot the Xuan Tie arrow, ordinary bows and arrows won't do; a larger and more robust Great Bow is needed.
Moreover, carrying such a weapon on the street would be too conspicuous, and the dents in the ground suggest it is a combination bow.
Through a brief analysis, Shi Lei had already identified the key factors that would be scanned next.
People carrying Great Bow or large boxes will be considered prime suspects.
Judging by the time, it had been less than three minutes since Shi Lei flew over from Maena.
Given that Iron Great Position was carrying heavy objects, the possibility of him leaving by paraglider is ruled out.
Although the view from the 40-plus-story building is excellent, it still takes quite a while to get downstairs.
With the above filtering criteria, the scanning range can be narrowed down to within 500 meters.
Shi Lei spread his Psychic Power and quickly spotted the suspect in the elevator.
This male Kuranta has long blond hair and carries a huge coffin on his back.
As expected, it contained the combination bow.
Under the cover of moonlight, Shi Lei plummeted rapidly, landing on the ground before Iron Great Position.
Using his Psychic Scan, he found no unmanned vehicles parked on the street.
This confirms that the other party will not come out of the lobby, but will instead go to the Underground Parking Lot to drive away from the scene.
After confirming that there were no other suspects, Shi Lei leisurely strolled to the basement level to wait for his prey.
As the floor numbers gradually decreased, Iron Great Position felt inexplicably anxious and uneasy.
A few days ago, Platinum and Monique were arrested one after another, and he thought it was because these people had a poor sense of vigilance.
One can shoot arrows from a kilometer away, and the other can shoot arrows from two kilometers away. They were caught even from that distance; they should really reflect on their own problems.
But now, he has discovered the problem.
Iron Great Position accurately hit the target from a distance of four kilometers. However, when the telescope was used later, the scene of the Lucky Knight falling was not seen.
He asked Roy about the situation through his headset, but the kid didn't dare to answer at all.
It wasn't until the Lucky Knight's voice came through the earpiece, saying he was coming to return the favor, that Iron Great Position felt a jolt in his heart, utterly shocked.
His long-range shots are incredibly powerful. Even someone wearing armor and holding a shield would be pierced by the sheer force of the shot.
Iron Great Position never expected that there would be someone in the world who could catch his arrow with his bare hands.
That's outrageous, absolutely outrageous.
Such an exaggerated performance was something even the leader of the Silver Pegasus Knight Order could not achieve.
Perhaps it was because his center of gravity shifted downwards as the elevator descended. Or perhaps his mood was heavier than ever before.
For some reason, Iron Great Position felt an indescribable sense of oppression.
"Bite!"
The elevator stopped on the eighteenth floor, and someone entered.
The elevator would stop every one or two floors as it descended. It only stopped at a floor and didn't allow anyone else in until the elevator was completely full. If it weren't for the security cameras inside the elevator, Iron Great Position would have killed them all.
They keep blocking the way, it's so annoying.
In the end, most passengers exited the elevator in the lobby on the first floor. He was the only one left, heading towards the basement.
"Bite!"
The elevator doors opened, and the ceiling lights illuminated the room as if it were daytime.
Iron Great Position took out a key from his pocket and remotely unlocked the vehicle parked nearby.
"Chirp chirp!"
The crisp notification sound was particularly loud in the open environment, with a slight echo reverberating in the ears.
Just as Iron Great Position was about to leave, a person who shouldn't have been there appeared in front of him.
Lucky Knight.

Lucky Knight
Why is he here?
Before firing the bow, Iron Great Position measured the distance, which was 4.5 kilometers from the target location.
From the moment he left the rooftop to the Underground Parking Lot, even with some delays En route, it only took him five or six minutes.
Cavaleria at night is bustling with traffic. There's no other way but to drive on the highway in the city.
The Lucky Knight strolled out leisurely, indicating that he had arrived in less than five minutes. It was unbelievable; his speed was simply incredible!
I really like your gift.
Shi Lei raised the large black iron arrow in his hand, aimed it at the other party's coffin, and laughed:
"You'd better accept this return gift carefully."
"Whoosh!"
Iron Great Position was terrified and quickly took the coffin from his back to block the attack.
The extremely hard alloy coffin was pierced directly by the black iron arrow!
Its power is astonishing!
It's important to know that he used Originium Arts to draw the bow, and only with sufficient flight distance could he generate such powerful penetrating force.
However, the Lucky Knight can effortlessly deliver penetrating damage with just his bare hands.
The difference in their abilities is obvious; the superior one is clearly the better one.
Upon seeing the coffin pierced through, Iron Great Position's heart skipped a beat, and his expression became extremely complicated.
The enemy's terror is far beyond imagination!
This time, Shi Lei did not use his Psychic Power to exert pressure, because most people would not be able to withstand it and would faint.
He needs to extract the locations of the other two Iron Great Position this one. Therefore, he will need to use some physical means to persuade him.
With a single gesture, Shi Lei enveloped the Iron Great Position in Rock Element that appeared out of thin air. He was as if he were inside a coffin, completely unable to move.
Iron Great Position struggled desperately, but to no avail.
He was like someone thrown into a stuffed iron maiden, with absolutely no room to pound on it.
Cold, shivering.
Dark, trembling.
The Iron Great Position was unable to move and, after being in a sealed environment for a period of time, gradually lost its oxygen supply.
Although he desperately wanted to stay awake, his brain felt foggy and he couldn't concentrate.
Finally, just as Iron Great Position felt he was about to suffocate, the bindings were instantly released.
He gasped for breath in the cold air, even coughing violently from the intense breathing.
When Iron Great Position looked down at his feet, he felt a jolt of fear throughout his body, and his mind was instantly filled with terror.
The city below appears so tiny.
In his eyes, the four Mobile Cities were just a large cube with thousands of lights twinkling in the sky.
Shi Lei, as if lifting Xiao Kunzai, grabbed Iron Great Position from behind by the neck and explained:
"This is four thousand meters above the ground; there's hardly any oxygen up there. If you want to touch the Star Pod, I can grant your wish."
The moment I let go, you will die. Before a person dies, they cry. When a person cries, they want to speak their mind. Speak, you have at least three things to say.
Iron Great Position Dawei gasped, unsure how to describe his feelings at that moment.
Those who work as assassins all believe in a proverb from the Yan: "If you walk by the river long enough, you're bound to get your shoes wet."
After his long-range sniping attempt failed, Iron Great Position guessed that he had run into a tough opponent this time.
I didn't expect that the opponent was not only incredibly strong, but could also fly so high; they were both incredibly tall and incredibly strong.
Aside from the extinct Feathered Serpent tribe, who the hell can fly that high without the help of a flying machine?
Only then did Iron Great Position clearly realize what kind of being he had provoked.
Perhaps it was due to oxygen deprivation in his brain, or perhaps it was because fear had gripped his entire body throughout. His scalp tingled, and he could only follow his survival instincts:
"Don't let go, I'll talk, I'll talk!"
