This ditch has dried up, but it can still be seen that it was not clear in the past. Many factories would secretly discharge some waste liquid into it. Although the waste liquid from each factory would not cause much trouble, the quantity was large and it was inevitable that some of them would react with each other.

At this moment, there is still a thick layer of mud at the bottom of the ditch. The color of this mud is colorful. Who knows if there is a periodic table of elements in it? It must not be touched easily.

In addition, a different stench than before went straight to the top of my head, which was obviously emitted by the mud.

In addition to direct contact with the mud, the gases they evaporate are likely to be toxic.

Xiao Qi thought of the diving equipment he had purchased, and quickly took it out and put it on.

I thought this thing would never be used again, but I didn't expect it to be useful at this moment. According to the compass, the thing is probably under the mud in the ditch. It is a foregone conclusion that I have to go down and dig it out with my hands. I must not be careless.

It took Xiao Qi a lot of effort to put on his equipment and check to make sure there was no exposed part.

I have to say something about this diving equipment. Although it is extremely heavy and makes movement inconvenient, the sense of security is also top-notch. The unpleasant smell has been completely isolated, and apart from the obstructed vision and difficulty in movement, there seems to be no other disadvantages.

I climbed down the ditch carefully, the mud reached my knees.

If you come to this kind of hellhole place without taking any precautions, it might be a problem to leave the dungeon alive.

Xiao Qi began to stretch his arms down to search. The range indicated by the compass was not too large, only about seven or eight square meters, so it was not particularly difficult to find.

In addition to various sediments and soil, the silt also contains some strange things, such as spare parts that appeared from nowhere and plastic bottles that were thrown in directly after someone finished drinking. It is almost like a garbage dump, which makes Xiao Qi's search work much more difficult.

After trying for a while and touching countless bottles, Xiao Qi finally found some different props.

When Xiao Qi opened his palm, he saw a ring covered in mud. It was obviously a diamond ring, and it was quite big. It would cost several thousand yuan to get it. Could it be someone's engagement ring?

"Quest item - a token of love. Unfortunately, it is a one-sided token of love, and the other party does not seem to be willing to accept it."

This item doesn't seem to have anything to do with the background story. Is it really related to the mission?

Xiao Qi frowned and ignored it. He struggled to climb out of the ditch, sat down almost in the middle of the road, and began to breathe heavily.

Bending over for a long time to search for supplies is not a job that most people can accept, not to mention in the mud where every step is extremely difficult. The smell near the ditch was too strong, so Xiao Qi decided to come to the road first.

After taking off the muddy equipment, Xiao Qi threw it directly into the grass beside him, with no intention of reusing it later.

Just over ten minutes after the equipment was thrown out, tiny cracks appeared on the diving suit, which was made of special materials. It would probably be scrapped soon.

Xiao Qi wiped the ring carefully until it showed its original bright color.

This is indeed a beautiful engagement ring and it is quite expensive. Unfortunately, the person who received it obviously doesn’t like it very much, otherwise it wouldn’t have appeared in the mud.

The compass ran out of uses and soon turned into points of light and disappeared.

Xiao Qi imported the NPC's location into the automatic navigation system of the End Car, and the End Car took her to the final mission point.

The End Car moved forward, speeding along the central continent, and soon arrived at the edge of the other end of the map.

Xiao Qi remembered that the NPC location on the map was not at the edge of the map, so why did the End Car bring her here? Was it broken?

She frowned slightly and checked the map again, only to find that the map that Bo Mu gave her, which recorded the location of NPCs, was slightly different from the map in her hand. In other words, the MPC was not on the map she currently had, but outside the map, in another location.

How could this happen? Did Bo Mu give me a fake map? Unlikely. Then why is there no NPC location on the complete map when I have already obtained it?

Xiao Qi watched nervously as the End Car continued to move forward, and it showed no sign of stopping until it reached the edge of the map.

In fact, although it is at the edge, there is still a way ahead.

Looking forward, a road extending to somewhere unknown was still going straight forward, but the map had already shown that it had reached the border. Just when Xiao Qi was about to get off the car to check the situation, the Ender Car, which had not slowed down at all, had crossed the map border and arrived at another place.

The originally quiet factory area suddenly became noisy and lively. The dazzling white light instantly filled Xiao Qi's eyes. Forced to close her eyes, Xiao Qi took a while to adapt. When she slowly opened her eyes, she was shocked by everything in front of her and hurriedly stopped the end car.

The previous factory area was obviously months, even years or decades after the disaster. But here, it was a chemical plant where nothing had happened yet.

Xiao Qi couldn't help but check the countdown of his copy. Sure enough, the countdown had stopped. He did not come to other places in the factory, but returned to the factory where the disaster had not yet occurred.

Time travel? Space jump?

Xiao Qi was obviously a little shocked by this incredible thing, but she still calmly thought about what to do next.

If possible, I'd better prevent this disaster from happening.

Quickly connecting the clues in his mind, Xiao Qi packed up the End-of-the-World vehicle and rushed to the largest factory area, which was the starting point of the disaster and the unit where the newly graduated student was doing his internship.

When she arrived at the factory gate, an old security guard who was sitting in a rocking chair basking in the sun immediately came out to greet her and asked her what she was doing there.

Xiao Qi's brain thought quickly and he blurted out the answer.

"I have an interview scheduled for today, and HR asked me to go directly to the office."

The old man looked Xiao Qi up and down. She looked like a recent graduate, with clear and foolish eyes. The old man did not doubt her. After all, it was graduation season, and many people were looking for jobs. Xiao Qi looked harmless, so she did not look like she had any problems. So after a simple registration, she was successfully admitted.

Xiao Qi went straight to the experimental building and followed his memory to the place where he found the photo.

At this moment, there were several experimenters in white coats conducting product testing in the laboratory. When they saw a stranger in regular clothes whom they had never seen before, they were stunned at first, and then pointed out the route to the administrative office to her.

Xiao Qi shook his head breathlessly, indicating that he was not here to see the administrative staff. He then took out a photo from the drawer that was exactly the same as the prop he had obtained.

Photos that have not yet experienced the ravages of time look like they were just printed and are exceptionally new.

The three familiar people inside looked at the camera with smiles, still looking happy and joyful.

The experimenters around were all stunned by Xiao Qi's amazing operation. They looked at her with confusion, and some even planned to call security.

Working is annoying enough, why do they have to be disturbed by such a psychopath?

"Wait, wait, I'm the family member of the girl in the photo. Where is she now? I need to find her urgently!"

Several experimenters were whispering to each other, obviously not knowing that this girl had a relative, could it be a sister? She came here in such a hurry, and no one knew what was going on...

Despite this, a girl pointed to the room opposite for her.

"Are you talking about the intern Xiao Liu? She is cleaning the equipment outside. Who are you to her? Go sit outside for a while. The laboratory is not safe. There are some toxic gases and no unauthorized persons are allowed to come in..."

"I'm in a hurry! Please help me find her immediately, thank you very much."

Xiao Qi's face was full of anxiety, which frightened the female experimenter who asked about it. It seemed that something big had happened at home. She had assumed that Xiao Qi was Xiao Liu's sister, and that she came here this time because something happened to her family...
