'More clues?'
Meng Chao thought. 'It's not like I can predict the future. Who the hell knows which raw materials warehouse Ning Lang and his companions are planning to attack?'
But when he thought about it carefully, if he used the elimination method, he might be able to narrow down the range.
First, he should eliminate the warehouses belonging to the Supernatural Tower, the Red Dragon Army, and the four great research centers.
The reason behind it was simple. The raw materials warehouses belonging to the government were definitely heavily guarded. There were plenty of elites, and they had a very tight defense system.
Ning Lang and his companions were most likely normal people. Even if they relied on taking Deification Capsules and temporarily gained superhuman fighting power, they might not be the veterans' opponents.
As long as there were three to five superhumans who were more than one-star superhumans in the warehouse, their robbery would become very troublesome.
Even if they managed to get away with it, they would not be able to escape for a few days even if the government chased them down.
By the same logic, he could eliminate the raw materials warehouses belonging to the nine great cultivation families, Dragon City University, and the alliance of the five universities.
These super forces that ruled over a region were not existences that Ning Lang could provoke.
But he did not think that Ning Lang would randomly choose a raw materials warehouse belonging to a small company to rob.
Judging from the fragmented blueprints, the scale of this warehouse was quite large.
Besides, when it came to robbing, he had to carefully choose a fat sheep and rob it to his heart's content.
Otherwise, how could he have enough money for his family to live a good life after he paid off his debts?
The warehouse had to be big, and there were a lot of crystals and monster materials in it. It also had to have relatively weak defenses, and the fighting power of the guards was low. There were not many such warehouses or companies in Dragon City that fulfilled these two completely opposite conditions at the same time, right?
Meng Chao told Shen Yupeng his thoughts.
"I think that Ning Lang has his eyes on a new company that's developing rapidly. It's a nouveau riche that just rose to power a few years ago. He has some money in his hands, but his fighting power, wariness, and other aspects haven't caught up. He's the kind of person who's stupid but has a lot of money. Big Brother Peng, if you choose based on this train of thought, I think that you'll definitely find your target."
"Alright, give me five minutes." Shen Yupeng hung up.
Reality proved that professionals had to do professional things.
In just three minutes, Shen Yupeng called back.
"According to what you said, 'nouveau riche, stupid people with a lot of money', we compared the pictures you sent to us with the building plans in the database, and we found something."
"The facts have proven that you're right. The raw material warehouse Ning Lang intends to take over belongs to a new company called Superstar."
"Right?"
Meng Chao smiled faintly, then was dumbfounded. "What?!"
"It's reasonable, isn't it?"
Shen Yupeng said faintly. "You know that over the past year, there hasn't been a company that has been more explosive than Superstar in Dragon City."
Meng Chao cursed fiercely.
You're really messing with the Tai Sui's head, you actually dare to snatch it from me!
Now that he thought about it, it made sense.
Over the past year, after it acquired Prosperous and Spirit Creation Creatures, Superstar's growth had increased by leaps and bounds. It now occupied half of the middle-grade and low-grade harvesting areas in Dragon City.
And to create different gene medicine for the Ultimate Style cultivators and Broken Star members as well as to provide raw materials for the research team of the original Spirit Creation Creatures, Superstar stored a lot of high-grade crystals and Nightmarish Beasts' flesh in the warehouse.
To a certain extent, Superstar's raw material warehouse was even more valuable than a bank's safety deposit box.
But Superstar was indeed a nouveau riche that had no foundation. The only person who could be considered an elite in the company was Meng Chao himself.
And Meng Chao usually placed most of his attention on Agricultural University, Broken Star Club, Blue Home, the abnormal beast research department, and other places. Recently, he had even gone into the wild to train for a total of three months.
Forget about building up the company's security team, he did not even know how many raw material warehouses Superstar had, even though it was developing rapidly!
Now that he thought about it carefully, Qin Hu was in charge of Superstar's security.
Qin Hu used his connections to find a group of retired hunters to fill up the security team of the company.
Hunters with real skills would not want to be security guards in Superstar!
Those who were willing to come were either old and tired of living a life of danger and returned to Dragon City to retire.
Or they were heavily injured and their cultivation realms had plummeted, so they could no longer get used to the high-intensity life of danger.
Even if they were old and weak, they probably wouldn't be able to get two of them to hold the fort in every warehouse.
There was nothing he could do about it. Before this, Meng Chao had never thought that Superstar would become someone else's target!
"I was careless!"
Meng Chao slapped his head in regret.
"Since we've already located the target, the next step will be easy. I'll bring some people over now."
As Shen Yupeng spoke, he sent Meng Chao the specific coordinates of the warehouse.
"I'll be there soon!"
Meng Chao scanned the map and noticed that Shen Yupeng was still a distance away from Superstar's material warehouse.
Meng Chao was the closest to the warehouse.
But that made sense. Since Ning Lang chose to stay here, it was because it was a hidden place, and it was close to the target. It would be easy for them to observe the place and search for any loopholes.
Meng Chao ran.
While he ran, he called his father. "Dad, it's me. Did we buy a new material warehouse on Five Blessings Street? It's like this —"
…
At the same time.
Five Blessings Street.
It was late at night, and no one could be seen on the empty road. There were no cars or buses.
Occasionally, a few construction vehicles, trash trucks, or heavy trucks would drive over. The roaring crystal engines tore through the silence of the night.
Ning Lang lurked in the bushes by the road and stared at the end of the road with his binoculars. He seemed to be waiting for a special vehicle to appear.
His two companions were so nervous that their legs trembled. Their teeth chattered, but they held themselves back. In the end, they could no longer hold it in and whispered, "Big Brother Wolf, are we … really going to attack?"
"Duh."
Ning Lang cast a cold glance at his two companions with a gaze that was as sharp as a blade.
He was originally a very handsome young man.
In fact, he looked like a girl.
However, the crisscrossing scars on his face caused the corners of his mouth to curl up high, revealing two sharp canine teeth. This ruined his rather handsome appearance, causing him to constantly look like he was gnashing his teeth in anger.
"I was the one who killed them just now, but the two of you are also stained with blood. Do you think you can turn back now?"
Ning Lang said coldly. "Wake up. We have nowhere else to go. We can only solve all our problems if we get this batch of monster materials, high-grade crystals, and gene medicine!"
"But …" His two companions were still a little hesitant.
"No buts!"
Ning Lang drew closer and stared at his two companions with bloodshot eyes. The scars on his face squirmed like they were alive, and he screamed, "These crystals, monster materials, and gene medicine are what we deserve! We've been exploring the wild for so long and killed so many damn insects and monsters. We've lost so many of our brothers, but in the end, we didn't get anything. Is this fair?
"We're not stealing. We're just taking back what belongs to us. We have so many scars on our bodies, we've died once in the wild, we've been through so much pain when we train hard, and we dared to gamble with our lives to get these cultivation resources. It's very fair!"
"I-I'm saying that this is Superstar's warehouse. I heard that Superstar's Meng Chao is a ruthless person with a twisted mind. He likes to dissect monsters until they are shredded. He doesn't even burn them. He just eats them alive," one of his companions said with a quivering voice.
One of them said in a trembling voice, "We can't afford to provoke such a lunatic."
Ning Lang snorted coldly. "No matter how strong Meng Chao is, as long as we're quick and don't leave behind any clues, no one will know that we're the ones who did it."
"What should we do about Sixth?"
Another accomplice swallowed his saliva and said, "Many people saw him come to collect the debt from us, but we killed him under the junkyard. Although no one might know about this, the mysterious disappearance of the few of them is a fact. The person behind him will not let us go.
"Besides, even if we really snatch a lot of high-grade crystals and monster materials, we won't dare to use them to pay off the debt. Otherwise, everyone will know that we did it."
"Then … we won't pay them back."
A red light flashed within Ning Lang's eyes as he laughed savagely. "Who said we took away so many cultivation resources for the sake of directly using them to repay our debts? If we're able to completely digest and absorb all these cultivation resources, then our strength will surely rise to a whole new level. At that time, wouldn't it be fine if we annihilate all those damnable debt lenders and the fellows behind Scarface?"
"…"
The two accomplices shuddered at the same time.
Clearly, Ning Lang's suggestion was not part of their plan.
"This is …"
One of the companions was about to say that this was different from what we agreed on.
Ning Lang suddenly narrowed his eyes and said softly, "Stop arguing. They're here!"
Not far away, a refrigerated container truck with Superstar's name painted on it drove over slowly.
Ning Lang flipped his hand, and three green Deification Capsules appeared on his palm.
Compared to the Deification Capsules he saw in the developing land in the wild, these three capsules were bigger, greener, and contained more starlight inside. They were also more mysterious.
Fear appeared on the faces of his two companions.
But there was uncontrollable greed in their eyes.
"Don't worry. The Deification Capsules are dangerous, but the main danger is that you'll drain your body too much. If you don't get spirit energy replenishment in time, you'll squeeze out the potential in your stem cells and die of exhaustion," Ning Lang said with a cold smile.
Ning Lang smiled coldly. "The second generation capsules have a unique slow-release mechanism. They last longer, and their power is more stable and controllable. As long as we replenish a lot of monster flesh, gene medicine, or high-calorie nutritional fluid in time, we'll be fine.
"Think about our brothers. So many of our brothers died in the wilderness to protect our retreat. Those of us who survived are originally wandering ghosts in the human world. Don't tell me that we don't even dare to take such a small risk?"
