Meng Chao could totally imagine how Ning Lang felt.
In a world where strength could decide life and death, the difference between superhumans and normal people was even greater than the difference between the rich and the poor on Earth.
The poor could continue to be poor.
That was because they had no idea how extravagant the lives of the tycoons were.
Taking away a person's supernatural abilities was definitely something even more unbearable than death.
"Once he returned home in great regret, Ning Lang received another mysterious email. It reminded him of the dangers of taking the Deification Capsules," Shen Yupeng continued.
"The sender of the anonymous email did not hide the side effects of the Deification Capsules. In truth, it's a very extreme, highly concentrated stimulant. At the price of draining one's life and losing control of one's mind, one can obtain superhuman strength.
"But as long as he takes the Deification Capsules and takes in a large amount of gene medicine and high-calorie nutritional fluid in time, he can avoid the side effects from invading his body.
"The sender said that he could continue providing Deification Capsules for Ning Lang so that he could enjoy the pleasure of being a superhuman again.
"But there's no free lunch in the world. Ning Lang had to pay a high enough price for the Deification Capsules. Besides, Ning Lang had to solve the problem of gene medicine and high-calorie nutritional fluid on his own.
"The good news is that the sender knows that Ning Lang is in a lot of debt and doesn't have a single copper coin in his pocket, so he can give him another chance. He can sell him some Deification Capsules and even ammunition on credit.
"As long as Ning Lang has the courage to carry out the criminal plan he provided."
Meng Chao narrowed his eyes. "So, Ning Lang wasn't the one who came up with the plan to rob Superstar's material warehouse?"
"Of course not. This plan is very meticulous. They needed more than ten blueprints of buildings and topographic maps of the area around them. They also needed to get Superstar's transportation routes and schedules. They also needed to solve the problem of blocking the alarm calls and planning their retreat routes," Shen Yupeng said. "Ning Lang and his companions are all hooligans. They don't have the ability to come up with such a complicated plan.
"Ning Lang told me that the sender was the one who sent the entire plan to his mailbox in the deep web. The person also provided the ammunition and weapons."
"How did they provide it?"
Meng Chao asked. "Did they mail it to Ning Lang?"
"No, Ning Lang doesn't have a fixed residence. It's too risky to mail it over."
Shen Yupeng said, "Just like the first time, the other party sent Ning Lang an address. It was either an abandoned factory, the depths of a junkyard, a complicated underground pipe, or even a supermarket's storage cabinet. They asked him to go there and retrieve his equipment. Sometimes, they even gave Ning Lang a sum of money to recruit and train his accomplices."
"I see …"
Meng Chao thought about it for a while and said, "Ning Lang should have sold a batch of Deification Capsules before, right? What's going on? Did he do it behind the other party's back?"
"That's not it. Ning Lang isn't stupid. The other party's identity is mysterious, and they know everything about him like the back of their hands. He wouldn't dare to act on his own under the other party's nose."
"In addition to manipulating him to carry out the criminal plan, the other party also asked him if there were any friends around him who were desperate like him and were eager to take a little risk to change their fate.
"Ning Lang naturally knows a lot of hooligans who are in the same boat. Most of them are in the same situation as him. They owe a huge debt because they failed in their pioneering efforts.
"Even if they aren't in debt, the unemployment rate in Dragon City is really high. There are thousands of youngsters who can't awaken to supernatural abilities, and their futures are pretty bleak. All of them are willing to risk their lives.
"Ning Lang provided the other party with a list of names. They are all people he knows, bold, ambitious, hot-blooded young men who dare to fight.
"As for what happened after that, the other party didn't let him ask too much.
"Only that Mohawk Head you mentioned. Although he's very ambitious and wants to change his fate, he hasn't suffered and hasn't been forced into a dead end. He doesn't want to participate in any criminal schemes. Instead, he wants to change his fate by colonizing the wilderness.
"The email sender didn't force a teenager like Mohawk Crown to do anything. Instead, he hinted to Ning Lang that he could sell him a batch of Deification Capsules on credit so that he could have a taste of the benefits first. This is the origin of the Deification Capsules you saw in the developing land in the wild yesterday."
At this point, the ins and outs of the entire matter were basically clear.
But there was something that Meng Chao could not understand.
"This means that practically all the criminals last night were bewitched by someone and didn't have any horizontal connections with each other. Instead, they were all controlled by the email sender?"
Meng Chao frowned. "Then their teamwork is really great. In one night, hundreds of crimes happened at the same time. This sort of organizational ability is comparable to that of a regular army."
"To put it bluntly, it's not worth mentioning," Shen Yupeng said.
"The email sender meticulously planned the time for them to take action, but it wasn't last night. It should have been two days later.
"However, the other party has prepared several plans. One of them is that when the criminals hear the deafening explosions outside and see the news of countless crimes happening at the same time on the Internet, they don't hesitate and immediately take action.
"The email sender said that the number of secret police in Dragon City was severely lacking. The more crimes that happened at the same time, the easier it would be for the adjudicator court to reach its limits. As long as the adjudicator court overworked itself or even collapsed, it would be incredibly difficult for them to investigate their crimes.
"So, there was no need for any organization or orders. The gunshots, explosions, and bloody pictures on the forums were the orders. The more robbers who participated in the crimes, the safer each robber would be.
"Reality has proven that the email sender was right. The limits of the secret police have indeed been completely broken."
When Meng Chao saw how dejected Shen Yupeng looked, he could only say, "Fortunately, the robbers were just normal people like Ning Lang who took Deification Capsules. The ones who suffered the greatest losses were Superstar's warehouses. Besides, we also captured a lot of robbers. Even though we didn't find the mastermind, we managed to suppress their claws. We should still be able to make it in time to mend the situation."
"Do you think that the mastermind went through so much trouble just to rob Superstar's material warehouse?"
Shen Yupeng chuckled in anguish. "I can't tell you the details. I can only tell you that the warehouses belonging to Superstar and other small and medium-sized companies were not the only ones that were robbed and destroyed last night. The robbers weren't just normal people like Ning Lang or a handful of broken-star superhumans either.
"In truth, the normal people and broken-star superhumans who took Deification Capsules were just a feint to lure us away. While they acted recklessly and caused chaos in Dragon City, a few other groups of robbers and assassins mingled among them and stole valuable cultivation resources. They also assassinated some of the important people in important projects and departments.
"They were different from the normal robbers who were controlled by the emails. These people were real elites. They didn't leave behind any clues. In fact, the damage they caused was only discovered before dawn.
"And last night, our attention was attracted by insignificant people like Ning Lang. We didn't notice their existence at all!"
"What?!"
This time, Meng Chao was truly shocked.
But when he thought about it carefully, it made perfect sense.
After learning the lesson from the ambush on Noble Descent Hotel, the abnormal beasts had returned, and they would definitely not be satisfied with just causing damage on the same scale as last time.
The best place to hide a leaf was a forest full of fallen leaves.
If they wanted to hide a shocking case, the best way was to create one hundred confusing cases at the same time so that the secret police could slowly deal with it!
When he thought of this, Meng Chao felt a headache coming on.
The enemy this time seemed to be at a higher level compared to the White Spirit, Earthquake, and the Demonic Abyss Eye.
Meng Chao thought about it and asked tentatively, "Did the secret police not receive any information beforehand?"
Even though the deep web provided perfect anonymity, the enemy was really generous.
At the same time, they recruited and trained more than one hundred robber squads and meticulously planned more than one hundred crimes. They also had a lot of Deification Capsules and weapons. Logically speaking, they should have left behind some clues.
If the adjudicator court could nip the problem in the bud, they would not have to face such a rotten situation.
"No."
Shen Yupeng buried his face in the high-calorie nutritional fluid and rubbed his face until his skin turned red. Then, he stared at Meng Chao and said, "I heard that the abnormal beast research department recently created an internal reference material. It's called One Hundred Ways to Destroy Dragon City, right?"
Meng Chao was a little stunned. He did not understand why Shen Yupeng suddenly changed the topic.
"I also heard that the material mentioned that if Dragon City wants to develop for a long time, we must solve the problem that the difference between superhumans and normal people is too great and that the social strata are torn apart?"
Shen Yupeng said expressionlessly. "The more resources a superhuman gets, the higher they can cultivate to, the more important contributions they can make, the more meritorious deeds they can achieve, and they can naturally get more resources." If this continues, under the Matthew effect, the strong will become stronger, and the weak will meet the weak. No one will be able to keep the strong in check, and the weak will always have to rely on the strong to protect them. This sort of social structure is deformed, and we will definitely not be able to fight against the brand new threat in the Other World aside from the monsters. In fact, our civilization will be crushed by its own weight.
"Let's not talk about the vague future. Let's talk about the present. A small group of superhumans are too greedy for comfort and monopolize a lot of important industries and positions. The normal people are increasingly displeased with them, and the conflicts between them will gradually accumulate, which will give the abnormal beasts a chance to take advantage of them.
"If we want to win the Monster War beautifully, we have to do two things at the same time. We have to solve both the symptoms and root causes. While we continue colonizing the wild and destroy the abnormal beasts' nests, we have to rectify the superhumans' culture in Dragon City and promote equality, harmony, and unity in Dragon City. That's what the booklet says, right?"
Meng Chao felt a little diffident under Shen Yupeng's stare.
One Hundred Ways to Destroy Dragon City was naturally his masterpiece.
In the beginning, it was just a few scattered articles and guesses about the future.
However, the fight against the Demonic Abyss Eye had activated more memories from the future, which allowed Meng Chao to gain a deeper understanding of the timeline of Dragon City's destruction.
Based on the clearer picture of the apocalypse, Meng Chao gathered his guesses together and added some content. Then, it turned into a thin booklet.
Just like in the past, he stood on the side of the monster civilization and thought about how to destroy Dragon City's civilization.
He used a military drill as an example and placed himself in the shoes of a perfect blue army. He did everything he could and found a lot of the red army's weaknesses. Then, he carried out precise and ruthless attacks, as if he was performing a surgery.
This booklet stirred up a huge commotion in the abnormal beast research department.
It was not strange for it to spread to the secret police.
But what did this booklet have to do with the hundreds of crimes that happened last night?
Could it be that the abnormal beasts stole his ideas?
That was too funny!
