Doomsday game, my supplies increased tenfold

At this moment, a spooky feeling spread from Xiao Qi's head and enveloped her entire body.

Sensing the dangerous atmosphere, Xiao Qi looked around vigilantly, but unexpectedly, a familiar figure emerged from the darkness.

It’s Bo Mu again.

Bo Mu had obviously seen who was coming and showed up on his own initiative. He couldn't stop smiling and waved at her.

"What a coincidence, we meet again."

Xiao Qi looked at Bo Mu warily, feeling that this person was lingering around.

"What are you here for?"

Xiao Qi hoped that Bo Mu was not here to take the treasure chest, otherwise he would have to quarrel with her. However, the opposite happened, and Bo Mu's next words shattered Xiao Qi's thoughts.

"There is a third-level treasure chest here, and I am here to take it."

Just as he thought, so did he. Xiao Qi forced a smile with an unpleasant expression as a response.

"What's wrong? You don't look happy. Oh, you're here to look for a treasure chest, too? Wait, your arm..."

Bo Mu soon discovered Xiao Qi's arm was still bleeding. Since it didn't hurt much and the wound was not big, Xiao Qi had no intention of wasting the healing potion. Anyway, his injury should have healed by the time the copy was closed and he left.

"Yes, I'm here to get the treasure chest too. Let's compete fairly, whoever gets it first gets it."

As soon as Xiao Qi finished speaking, Bo Mu's expression became a little unnatural and weird. Xiao Qi thought that she was not satisfied with this method and felt that the treasure chest should be hers since she came first. Unexpectedly, what she said next had nothing to do with the treasure chest.

"You don't think the injuries you sustained in the dungeon will heal if you take them out, do you? Not only that, but they will get worse. You'd better take care of them now, otherwise you'll die when you return without medicine. You're really asking for a treasure chest at this time. I've already checked it out, and it's hard to get, so I gave up. If you want it, go get it. I won't fight with you for it."

After saying this, Bo Mu began to rummage in his backpack and soon took out a healing card.

"Here's a gift for you. I don't want the big guy I worked so hard to befriend to be gone so soon."

Xiao Qi was a little surprised, but still did not take Bo Mu's treatment card. Instead, he took out his own treatment potion and drank it all.

It is easy to be grateful when you receive favors from others, especially when it is a precious thing like a healing card. Since there is no way to recover, just heal it yourself.

For most people at this stage, there are only two methods of treatment. One is the treatment card, which is very difficult to obtain and can only be found in a treasure chest. The other is medicine, which can still be obtained in very few ways. Otherwise, you would not want to collect some at the beginning but to no avail.

Being able to obtain healing potions from the magic forest is a rather outrageous and unconventional way of doing things. Ordinary people simply cannot replicate it, so this card is definitely very precious. I don’t know why Bo Mu would take it out for himself so easily.

When Bo Mu saw Xiao Qi drink something and guessed it was medicine, he did not force him to do anything. Instead, he put away the cards and continued speaking.

"You saw the third-level treasure chest. It's so high up that we can't get it. There's only one way to get up there, and that's climbing up from the outside of the tank. There's a ladder behind it, but there's an old man guarding it. He won't let anyone get close to the ladder. I tried many ways, but none of them worked."

Seeing the wound on his arm gradually healing, Xiao Qi listened to everything Bo Mu said and frowned.

"What have you tried?"

"We thought of getting close to him, sending him gifts, taking a detour, and even directly fighting him."

Xiao Qi's eyes suddenly became strange. He didn't expect that Bo Mu still had the courage to fight with others. Wasn't her fighting ability not very high?

"You... weren't killed by him?"

When Bo Mu heard this, his face turned dark, and he was obviously a little unhappy.

"You underestimate me a little too much, don't you? Do I look like the type that can be killed easily?"

Xiao Qi laughed dryly and quickly changed the subject.

"Of course not. It's just a reasonable suspicion. After all, the guardian of a third-level treasure chest is extremely powerful. Not to mention you, even I, who is ranked first on the battle strength list, don't have the courage to kill him easily."

After hearing the explanation, Bo Mu felt a little relieved and nodded with satisfaction.

"This boss doesn't seem to have any intention of killing me. He always drives me away and goes back. As long as I leave the range of the ladder, he won't attack me actively, and we can even have some simple communication."

Xiao Qi thought about it and decided to go and see the situation in person.

"Thank you for the information, but I think I have a way to subdue him, so I decided to go and take a look. Bye."

Xiao Qi left again without any courtesy. Bo Mu didn't even have time to say anything more. He could only sigh and leave.

Each time they communicated, it was limited to revealing copy information, which naturally made Bo Mu a little unhappy, but there was nothing he could do.

Xiao Qi followed what Bo Mu said and came to the back of the liquid storage tank. Although it was a little dark, he could still see a ladder leading directly to the top where the third-level treasure chest was located. There was indeed an old man sitting at the bottom of the ladder. The old man's back was a little hunched, and his face could not be seen clearly. He did not make any other movements and just sat there quietly.

Xiao Qi approached cautiously, and when he was less than ten meters away from the ladder, the old man really made a move.

The old man stood up slowly and approached Xiao Qi with one step deep and one step shallow.

Xiao Qi stood there without moving, but his hand had already touched his weapon. As long as this guy did anything that was not in his favor, he would fight him.

The old man came closer and closer until Xiao Qi could see his cheek clearly in the dim light.

"Are you Xiao Liu's father?"

Xiao Qi exclaimed in surprise. He didn't expect that this so-called boss was the man who had been crying in front of him not long ago.

The old man looked at Xiao Qi and seemed to be thinking, and soon recognized her.

"You are, you are Xiao Liu's colleague..."

The two hit it off immediately and started chatting right away.

"What's your name? I left in such a hurry that I didn't even ask you your name. If it weren't for you, Xiao Liu's innocence might have been ruined. Those people would definitely put all the blame on Xiao Liu."

When it comes to sad things, the old man who was called the big boss by Bo Mu burst into tears. Every time he mentioned his daughter, he felt extremely sad.

They had their child when they were relatively old, and they had worked hard to raise him for twenty years. Finally, when the child graduated and was able to take care of himself, they encountered something like this... Not only did the child die without a complete body, but he was also framed by the company. This kind of pain would be unacceptable for anyone, let alone them.

Xiao Qi understood the old man's feelings very well, but she could do nothing. She had done her best to give Xiao Liu justice.

The man who looked like he was in his fifties and strong in body in the previous scene now has a head full of white hair and looks very old.

Logically speaking, it has only been a few years since the chemical plant fire. How could a man in his fifties become like this?

Noticing that Xiao Qi was staring at him, the man was stunned for a moment, but soon he understood what she was thinking.

"After Xiao Liu passed away, her mother died of excessive grief within half a month. I didn't want to live anymore, but I felt that dying like this would be too unfair to my family. We did nothing wrong, so why were we the ones punished in the end? So I returned to this place and stayed here to prevent anyone from approaching. It is said that there are still a lot of chemical residues here. If someone accidentally touches them or uses them, no one knows what will happen. I don't want more people to repeat the same mistakes... Maybe this is the meaning of my life."

The man looked at the huge spherical liquid storage tank, his eyes filled with firm belief.

Didn't expect the man to make such a decision... No wonder Bo Mu said that the old man would not do anything to her, but just drove her away and didn't let her get close to the ladder.

This makes things much easier.

"So that's how it is... I have a request, uncle, I wonder if I can help you."

When the man heard that Xiao Qi needed help, he immediately agreed enthusiastically.

"My life has actually ended a long time ago. If you need me to do anything, just tell me directly."
