But even the insurance companies under Universe Corporation usually did not dare to provide insurance for the losses caused by monsters.
Monster ambushes were like earthquakes, hurricanes, and floods. They were all unstoppable. No one could predict them, and they could not bear the responsibility for them either.
By the same logic, few insurance companies dared to take responsibility for the lives of fighting-class superhumans who often went to the wild to fight.
But the series of robberies that happened the night before were all done by human robbers on the surface.
Quite a number of the superhumans who were injured or killed in the robberies were support-class superhumans who were relatively safe. They were experts in various fields, and many of them had bought personal accident insurance from insurance companies.
If each insurance policy paid out the highest standard, forget about Universe Insurance going bankrupt, all of Dragon City's insurance industry and even the financial industry would be thrown into a storm. All of them might even be wiped out.
Hence, the insurance companies were more anxious than anyone else. They wanted to find the reason behind the abnormal beasts' appearance behind the series of robberies.
If they could really find the mastermind, even though they could not completely avoid compensation, the compensation would be reduced by a large margin, and there would be hope for them to maintain the stability of the entire financial market.
Meng Chao thought about it. Indeed, the insurance companies and the abnormal beast research department stood on the same side as him when it came to this problem.
"Can the insurance companies get the latest data and clues?" Meng Chao asked.
"The data of the insurance companies in Dragon City is connected to the adjudicator court and research department," Shen Yupeng explained.
Shen Yupeng explained, "In fact, the adjudicator court and the investigation department are happy to see insurance companies use some methods that the government cannot use to obtain first-hand clues. Of course, as for how to find the key clues from the messy information, perhaps we will have to rely on your intuition."
"Last time, I was just lucky. I don't have any instincts," Meng Chao said readily.
"But there's strength in numbers. If we brainstorm together, we'll definitely be able to find clues about these monsters. Big Brother Peng, let's go now!"
…
Universe Insurance was located in the central business area of Riverside New Town.
It was an awe-inspiring building filled with anti-aircraft guns, and it looked like a steel hedgehog. It was filled with strength and a sense of security.
Shen Yupeng was an outstanding leader of the third generation of the Shen family.
His status was even higher than Lu Siya's in the Lu family.
In the future, he would take over most of Universe Corporation.
Since he came to Universe Insurance, he naturally kept to his word and did whatever he wanted.
He brought Meng Chao to the emergency response department and summoned the manager. He was a middle-aged man with a fierce gaze. He could not shave his beard clean, and every pore on his body reeked of blood.
"Man-eating Shark Zhou Chong?
Meng Chao immediately recognized the manager's background.
Man-eating Shark Zhou Chong was the same as Soul Breaking Saber Luo Wu. They were both infamous seniors in the hunter circle.
More than ten years ago, when Meng Chao and the rest of the Golden Generation were still learning how to speak, Zhou Chong had already charged through the depths of the fog and killed everyone.
At that time, the depths of the fog were different from today.
Without the Red Dragon Army's support, they did not have so many bases and developing lands, and they did not have unmanned aerial vehicles and heavy artillery that could provide fire support at all times. Fighting alone was a basic operation, and they would fall into the monster horde's encirclement at any moment. The hunters' casualty rate was ten times higher than it was today.
To be able to survive such a cruel battlefield and to have a great reputation, all of them were ruthless people with unique skills.
Luo Wu was ruthless enough, but Zhou Chong was even more ruthless than Luo Wu. He seemed to have an innate sense of smell towards his prey, and so long as he smelled a trace of blood, he would immediately charge over like a hungry shark and swallow his prey whole. That was how he obtained the name 'Man Eating Shark'.
Meng Chao remembered that when he was in high school, he loved watching Man-eating Shark Zhou Chong's fighting videos.
He had a deep impression of his Tiger Shark Saber, which was said to be an imitation of a shark's teeth and was created using bionics.
Over the past two years, Man-eating Shark Zhou Chong rarely posted his fighting videos online. His name was rarely seen on the official hunter achievement ranking board, so Meng Chao thought that he was suffering from a hidden injury and had to fade away from the hunter circle.
He did not expect that he would join Universe Corporation and become the manager of Universe Insurance's crisis response department.
Meng Chao looked at the staff of the crisis response department behind him.
All of them were burly and murderous. They had guns at their waists, and when they communicated with the other departments about their work, they tapped on their tablets and used daggers to shave their beards.
After three months of training in the wild, Meng Chao was now very sensitive to the scent of the wild.
With just one glance, he could tell that the employees of the insurance company had stayed in the wilderness for at least a few years. They had killed hundreds and thousands of ferocious beasts. When it was necessary, they would not even frown when they cut off their own hands and feet.
'As expected of an insurance company. The murderous aura here is much stronger than that of the research department and adjudicator court!' Meng Chao sighed in amazement.
While he was observing them, they were also sizing him up in secret.
Man-eating Shark Zhou Chong and his subordinates had naturally heard of the title of the youngest Heaven Realm superhuman in Dragon City.
But not all of them were convinced by it.
Many people thought that Meng Chao was just lucky and happened to run into a shocking case. Then, due to the need for publicity, he was hyped up.
He was a Heaven Realm superhuman, and the higher he was hyped up, the harder he would fall. Before long, he would fade into obscurity and return to his original form.
But now, when they saw Meng Chao himself, they immediately sensed a dangerous presence that was ten times stronger than theirs.
Their pupils shrank to the size of needles, and they instinctively tensed up their muscles. They felt as if they had returned to the depths of the fog and faced peerless beasts.
Meng Chao was slightly stunned.
He realized that he had become a little agitated because of what happened the previous night and forgot to control his spirit energy.
He quickly activated Walking Corpse and reduced the speed at which his breathing, heartbeat, blood circulation, and vitality magnetic field circulated until they were close to that of a normal person.
Man-eating Shark Zhou Chong and his subordinates found it even harder to figure out Meng Chao's strength.
"Supervisor Zhou, how's the situation?"
Shen Yupeng did not intend to waste even half a second. He went straight to the point. "I heard that a group of robbers broke into Universe Corporation's lab last night and wanted to steal a batch of high-end lab materials. In the end, they killed two of them and captured one alive.
"Before they sent him to the adjudicator court, did you manage to get any valuable clues from him?"
"Yes."
Man-eating Shark Zhou Chong tapped open a video on his tablet.
When he looked at the time at the top right corner of the video, he found that it had been filmed more than half an hour ago.
The main character of the video was a person with bloodshot eyes and foaming at the mouth. His muscles were bulging in a deformed manner, and his hair was as long as a savage's.
He was tied up with monster rubber bands, and his limbs were connected to a lot of IV tubes and wires. He was lying in a machine that looked like an MRI machine, and there were three powerful beams of light shining at his eyes and the center of his brows.
Since his head was fixed in place and his eyelids were pried open by the machine, he could not struggle. He could only scream like a trapped beast.
The screen of the machine showed that his organs were rapidly failing, and he had to rely on high-calorie nutritional fluid and gene medicine to survive.
But he was incredibly excited. The intensity of his brain waves was even higher than that of many superhumans.
There was no doubt that he was also a robber who had taken a Deification Capsule.
A gentle voice that could not be identified as a man or a woman came from the machine. "Who ordered you to rob the lab?"
The robber's eyes moved quickly, and his body temperature rose. His expression also became more excited. He shouted at the top of his lungs, "No one gave me any instructions, and I didn't rob them. Those things belong to me to begin with. I'm just taking back what belongs to me!"
"Those are Universe Corporation's assets," the voice said.
"Universe Corporation's assets? Those crystals, mines, and monster materials are all resources that belong to all of humanity. I'm also a human, so why don't I have the right to use those resources?"
The robber hissed through gritted teeth. "It's not fair! This world is not fair! Why are superhumans like you able to monopolize all cultivation resources and become stronger? Why are you able to stand at the top and live in such beautiful houses? Why are you able to live carefree, happy, and exciting lives? "And normal people like us have no power, no jobs, no money, no hope, and nothing!
"It's because you stole all the resources!
"That's right! That's right! You stole all the resources and put your own label on them. You're saying that the resources that should belong to all of humanity are Universe Corporation's assets! You're the robbers! I'm just taking back what belongs to me from you robbers! "
He struggled with all his might, and the monster's rubber band let out creaking sounds.
His bloodshot eyes were like two burning bombs that were about to explode at any moment.
The androgynous voice paused for a moment.
It seemed like the interrogator was puzzled by the robber's logic.
But to get more clues, the interrogator decided to go along with the robber's logic and said patiently, "Superhumans fight to protect and develop Dragon City. That's why they obtained these resources."
"I can fight for Dragon City too!"
The robber shouted. "As long as I get this batch of resources, I can awaken to supernatural abilities. At that time, I can die for Dragon City without any regrets!"
"You took a drug."
The interrogator tried his best not to reveal his emotions. "Do you know that you took a forbidden drug that has not been approved and is incredibly dangerous? This drug has fatal side effects and sequelae, and it's a real poison that will only destroy your life?"
"No, the Deification Capsule isn't a poison. It's a miracle drug! It's definitely a miracle drug!"
The robber said maniacally. "The Deification Capsule can give us normal people the power to take back everything. We can take back our future, hope, dignity, and everything else!
"Haha! Hahahaha! With the Deification Capsule, the days of you superior superhumans monopolizing resources and ruling over Dragon City will be gone!"
