32. The Ban from Extraterrestrial Civilization

Lin Qing pondered for a while and said, "Just based on your word alone, I'm afraid that's not enough to apply for a search of this level. Do you have any evidence?"

"Team leader," Teng Feiyu couldn't help but say, "do you really think I would lie to you?"

Lin Qing shook his head, "First, you need a reason for me to trust you, right? Just because you're wearing this Patrol uniform, should I trust you without any solid proof?"

Teng Feiyu, with furrowed brows, asked, "Then what would make you believe me?"

"Start by telling me who you are."

Lin Qing looked at him, "The wealthy members of the Underground Boxing Arena should all be quite affluent, so how did you manage to get to know them and even get them drunk?"

Teng Feiyu fell silent.

"It's fine if you don't want to talk," Lin Qing said casually, "as long as you can provide solid evidence, you can conduct the search."

Teng Feiyu was silent for a moment before saying, "My father is the chief of the City Bureau."

"Your last name is Teng," Lin Qing stated.

He had specifically looked into it, and the chief of the City Bureau's last name was Chu.

"I take my mother's last name."

Teng Feiyu opened his phone and said in a low voice, "Here is a photo of my family. If you think it's a composite, this is a video my father and I took on my birthday, or I can make a video call to my father right now, and you can watch it too."

"Alright," Lin Qing nodded slightly, "I'll take your word for it for now."

He had already guessed that Teng Feiyu was a second-generation looking to make his mark, and the response of the bureau chief seemed to confirm this.

Now he was just trying to confirm the other party's background.

"Your father is the chief of the City Bureau, and you're working at the Patrol Bureau as a Patrol Officer?" Lin Qing inquired, "Is it to earn merits and gold plate your profile?"

"Earning merits and gold plating?"

Teng Feiyu, used to the leader's blunt words, frowned slightly and said, "I haven't thought about that. I'm just trying to investigate the Underground Boxing Arena."

"How do you know these wealthy members? And they all got drunk because of you?" Lin Qing asked.

"I had some friends help conceal my identity, pretending to be a rich second-generation," Teng Feiyu said, "I spent quite a bit of money and put on an act. They spilled the beans after getting drunk."

Lin Qing nodded slightly and remarked, "Outsiders can't get into the arena. Without evidence, indeed, speaking out doesn't amount to much."

"So do you believe me now, team leader? Can I apply for a search?" Teng Feiyu asked.

"You see, you're in a rush again."

Lin Qing shook his head and said, "Even if we really could apply for a search warrant, without evidence, we'd just be barging in and conducting a forceful search. If verified, such a serious crime often leads to the death penalty, and the underground force you mentioned, 'Yuanhong Society,' would certainly resist violently."

Being busted means certain death, better to silence the victim, destroy the evidence, and withdraw.

Even fugitives dare to kill formal Patrol Officers to save their own lives, so how could these forces of the underworld not dare?

Outside of the urban circle, the areas tend to be chaotic, and many regions' surveillance systems have been destroyed. Places suspected of harboring underground forces definitely have extensive signal jamming.

Therefore, promotions in the security system nowadays have strict requirements for combat capabilities.

"Tell me, what's the armed force like at Yuanhong Society's Underground Boxing Arena?" Lin Qing asked, "Have you looked into this?"

Teng Feiyu nodded, "I've made some inquiries indirectly."

He hesitated for a moment before saying, "From the descriptions given by those wealthy members, the Underground Boxing Arena's armed forces mainly consist of security personnel using 'Super Hunting Compound Bows,' at least several dozens of them."

"Super Hunting Compound Bows?" Lin Qing pondered.

In some ways, a well-trained person using this kind of high-performance Compound Bow could be a greater threat than standard firearms.

"Then there are the boxers," Teng Feiyu continued, "ordinary boxers are one thing, but the threats mainly come from the high-ranking boxers and the Boxing King."

"High-ranking boxers? Boxing King?" Lin Qing looked at Teng Feiyu.

"These boxers all have criminal histories and are exploited by the arena. They hardly learn any Combat Skills."

Teng Feiyu explained, "Advanced fighters are those who have mastered the four-six version Practice Method. The fugitive brothers you caught a few days ago should be advanced fighters, whereas the Boxing King has mastered the seven-seven version Practice Method. However, the number of Boxing Kings is very rare."

Lin Qing nodded slightly.

However, he didn't care too much in his heart, having practiced Combat Skills, his combat power was completely different.

"Additionally, I've heard that the Underground Boxing Arena has a 'Boss' who keeps things in order."

Teng Feiyu hesitated for a moment, then said, "It's said that a Boxing King once tried to rebel but was knocked down with a single hit by one of the Bosses, so it's possible that... they have practiced Combat Skills."

Lin Qing was not at all surprised.

Although only legally permitted individuals could learn Combat Skills, there were plenty of criminals who broke the law.

The main reason why people outside the regulations couldn't learn Combat Skills was due to the restrictions of Visualization charts, which made it difficult to spread, otherwise, it would have been everywhere by now.

"Are there firearms in the Underground Boxing Arena?" Lin Qing asked.

"That's impossible," Teng Feiyu stated with certainty.

"You're that sure?" Lin Qing looked at him.

"It seems that the Patrol Officer doesn't know?" Teng Feiyu shook his head, "The firearm control isn't a directive from the World Government but a ban within the urban circle."

Lin Qing raised his eyebrows slightly, "A ban within the urban circle?"

"The urban circle is invested in and constructed by the Intelligent Star Group from an Extraterrestrial Civilization."

Teng Feiyu spoke softly, "It's said that the Intelligent Star Group possesses super technology capable of monitoring all illegal firearms on Earth. Once an Earth person violating the ban is discovered, they will certainly be captured by the Intelligent Star Group, and not even the World Government has the authority to intervene."

"Why would the Intelligent Star Group ban firearms?" Lin Qing was somewhat baffled.

To say it was out of fear of firearms was purely a joke.

The fugitives from Qinghu Island weren't even afraid of firearms, but in the eyes of the Intelligent Star Group, they were no different from ants.

To inhibit technological development?

But after the apocalypse, Earth was able to rebuild and technology developed even more brilliantly. The Intelligent Star Group had never interfered, maintaining a hands-off approach.

"I don't know either."

Teng Feiyu shook his head and hesitated, "But in fact, the Intelligent Star Group also banned crossbows. They seem indifferent to powerful bows and arrows, apparently not caring about how threatening a weapon is, just controlling the types of weapons."

"Only controlling the types of weapons?" Lin Qing was even more puzzled.

After all, he was just a civilian who had never been to the urban circle, so naturally, he was unaware of these matters.

Even in the eyes of the Intelligent Star Group, not even the officials mattered; only the true elite had the privilege of residing in the urban circle.

"So it seems that the Yuanhong Society indeed doesn't have firearms…"

Lin Qing nodded thoughtfully.

"Definitely not," Teng Feiyu said, "No matter how large an underground force is, it is as insignificant as dust before the Intelligent Star Group. How could they court death?"

He paused, then added, "Although there are no firearms, if archers gather in groups, their threat is hardly less than that of firearms."

"I understand," Lin Qing nodded.

Bullets are fast, but with current technology, compound bows, even those used by ordinary people like a Super Hunting Compound Bow, can reach speeds of over 600fps, nearly two hundred meters per second.

With special arrow shafts, the kinetic energy might even exceed some handgun bullets.

However, compared to firearms, archery requires more skill and physical quality to be effective.

"Patrol Officer, apply for a search warrant,"

Teng Feiyu looked earnestly at Lin Qing, "The armed force of the Yuanhong Society's Underground Boxing Arena is not to be underestimated, but as long as we are well-prepared and the deputy team leader leads the team, along with the support of team leaders using firearms, we can definitely suppress them."

As a Patrol Officer, as a member of Team Seven, he couldn't overstep his authority; he had to apply to Lin Qing, the team leader, first.

Lin Qing mused silently.

After a while, he finally spoke, "The Yuanhong Society's Underground Boxing Arena has been around for a while now, hasn't it? What do you think is the reason it hasn't been taken down yet?"
