Chapter 456 - Shocking Theft (1/2)
Since they were burnt scraps, the picture on them had become very faint. Even if Meng Chao used his spirit energy to stimulate his brain cells and activated his calculation abilities to the max, it was still difficult to accurately restore them to their original form in his head.
He used his flashlight to shine on the scraps of paper and examined them for a long time, but he could only tell that it was the blueprint of some building that also had the streets around the building.
Based on the structure of the building, it was a warehouse that stored crystals and monster materials.
Since crystals that had just been mined were really unstable, even the slightest tremor or difference in temperature could turn them into ticking time bombs.
Even if they did not explode, their quality could change easily. They could even release radiation that would harm the human body.
After the crystals were shipped to the densely populated city area, they had to go through unique processing. It was considered as part of the refinement process.
It was the same for plenty of monster materials. They had to be placed in a spot where no one could touch them, go through fermentation, and all sorts of microorganisms processing them to dissolve the acidity and poisonous qualities in them. Then, the humans could bring out their maximum nutrients and energy.
Hence, plenty of the mega corporations, cultivation families, powerful organizations, universities, and all sorts of research centers in Dragon City had their own warehouses. They were specifically used to store all sorts of valuable and highly dangerous materials.
The warehouse blueprint and the map of the streets around it were marked multiple times by a red and blue pen.
There were also a lot of complicated routes, along with a string of numbers marking time.
‘The red lines look like the routes to break into the warehouse from the outside.
‘The blue lines are the four routes that could allow easy retreat.
‘The times by the side should be the shortest and longest time they need to break in and get out, right?
‘As for this, it’s the distribution of guards in the warehouse, along with the distribution of firepower.
‘Unfortunately, more than 70% of the map and information on it has been burnt. I can’t tell just which warehouse it is, but this is enough to tell me what the problem is.’
Once Meng Chao connected all the clues together, there was no way he would not know what Ning Lang intended to do.
After suffering major losses in his pathfinding operation, he decided to take a reckless risk and rob a crystal and monster material warehouse!
It was only by snatching a large number of valuable raw materials that he would be able to clear off his debts and let his family live a carefree life.
Material warehouses like this had a few superhumans guarding them, so normal criminals were unable to covet them.
But Ning Lang had the Deification Capsule. It let normal people obtain supernatural abilities for a short period of time, which would be enough time for him to complete the robbery.
The unlucky debt collectors must have seen Ning Lang plotting his scheme.
Or it could be that Ning Lang and his companions had already taken the Deification Capsules at that time, so their rationality was reduced while their fighting strength had increased by leaps and bounds. They ended up as murderous puppets and killed those bothersome people.
No matter what, Ning Lang had already killed someone, so it was impossible for him to delay things any further.
He and his companions had left the place without hesitation, so they had to be heading to the material warehouse right now to rob it!
Meng Chao remembered the devastating scene he saw in the developing land.
The robbery itself was secondary.
The most crucial thing was that if Ning Lang and his companions ate too many Deification Capsules, their aggressive nature would blow up, and they would turn into killing machines. Before they ended up killing themselves, they would kill a lot of innocent people!
“No, I have to stop Ning Lang!”
Meng Chao blew away the ashes and brought all the scraps back to the surface.
He regained his phone signal.
Even so, he still could not contact Ye Xiaoxing and Lu Siya.
Naturally, Meng Chao had a lot of other powerful fighters’ numbers saved in his contacts.
He knew plenty of powerful people who had great fighting experience, be it his tutor or tutoress, Soul Breaking Saber Luo Wu, the elites in Yan Organization, the Broken Star Club, or Blue Home.
It was not a difficult matter for Meng Chao to make a few calls and summon hundreds of superhumans to his side.
The problem was that he did not know Ning Lang’s precise target.
Crystals and monster materials were the most crucial cultivation resources.
There were more than one thousand material warehouses of varying sizes such in Dragon City.
If the map was still in perfect shape, perhaps he could determine the precise location of the warehouse based on the streets and buildings around it.
But now, there were only scraps of paper left, and he could not even find the correct order to piece them together.
Unless he had a set of very precise data about Dragon City’s buildings, a supercomputer with great computational abilities, and a professional analyst, it would be difficult for him to find the answer in a short amount of time.
He swiftly swiped down his list of contacts.
