Disaster Descends: I Pick Up Trash and Achieve Financial Freedom

Zuo Qingya inexplicably became bound to the system "Little Darling." While others convert trash into various items, she only converts it into rare seeds.

Initially, she planted them o...

Chapter 23 Professor Zheng Peisheng

Next stop: Boya Biotechnology.

Boya Biotechnology Co., Ltd. is a high-tech enterprise specializing in the field of biotechnology, dedicated to the research, development, production, and sales of biopharmaceutical products. The company's business scope may include biopharmaceuticals, biodiagnostics, and bio-agriculture, among others. Boya Biotechnology promotes medical progress and serves human health by integrating advanced biotechnology. Simultaneously, the company also emphasizes the innovation and application of biotechnology, contributing to the development of the bio-industry.

The car was parked in front of Boya Biotechnology. Looking at this once glorious technology company, now turned into ruins, I wondered how many vibrant lives were buried underground.

Just as they were about to pass by this place, they suddenly felt the ground shaking.

"What's going on? Is it an earthquake?"

"I don't know!"

Just as they were talking, the earthquake shook even more violently, and a head slowly emerged from the ground.

"Captain, look what's that?"

Xu Jianfang looked over and saw a mutated pangolin emerging from the ground.

"Holy crap... Captain, is that a pangolin?"

"I can see, I'm not blind."

"Captain, let's run!"

"Then needless to say, drive fast."

"Okay!"

Wang Haofa floored the accelerator and sped away.

The pangolin, just emerging from the ground, looked completely bewildered, as if something had darted past.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after leaving the pangolin's territory.

"Luckily we ran fast, otherwise if it had caught us, we might have been finished."

Xu Jianfang patted Wang Haofa on the shoulder: "Well done."

"Captain, you can rest assured about my driving skills."

"Captain, the Apocalypse Experiment Base is just ahead."

Xu Jianfang looked ahead and saw the words "Apocalypse Experiment Base" on a lake.

"Huh??? Captain, the Apocalypse Experiment Base... it's not underwater, is it?"

"I'm not blind, I should be in the water."

"Should we still go in? Professor Zheng Peisheng has been in the water for so long, could he be dead already?"

"How would I know if you ask me? I'm not a god."

"Well, whether he lives or dies, we'll see him anyway."

"All right!"

Cao Shun used his superpower to coat everyone else with water-based superpowers, and thoughtfully stored a lot of oxygen inside, even including Tiger in Zuo Qingya's backpack.

"Although I have stored a lot of oxygen for you, I have tested this skill and it can only keep you underwater for one hour. Remember, once the hour is up, everyone must come ashore."

Everyone nodded: "Okay, we understand."

Once everyone was ready, they went into the water. To their surprise, the water was crystal clear; Zuo Qingya could even see small fish swimming by and get a full view of the Tianqi Experiment Base.

Xu Jianfang swam downstream, found the entrance, and swam in.

Everyone followed behind Xu Jianfang, adopting a defensive posture to protect Xu Jianfang, Zuo Qingya, and Zuo Haijia in the middle.

When they reached the gate, they couldn't open it no matter what they did. Just then, a loach appeared out of nowhere and rammed into them. With a loud bang, the muddy water dispersed, and the loach shook its head before continuing to charge at them.

"Is this mudfish crazy? It just bumps into us without even asking what's wrong with it."

Everyone chuckled and ignored Wang Hao's sarcastic remarks.

While dodging, everyone started using their superpowers to attack the loaches. However, their superpowers weren't very effective in the water, always a beat too slow, putting them at a disadvantage. Fortunately, they outnumbered the loaches, so they could manage.

It took 10 minutes for them to adapt to the underwater attack speed.

"We need to deal with this loach quickly, or we won't have enough time."

Everyone agreed and used their strongest moves. However, Xu Jianfang's superpower was a bit scary; people standing next to him were all shocked by the electric shock.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the loach had been dealt with.

"Finally, we solved it."

"Yeah, attacking underwater, I feel like my superpower has jumped to the beginner level."

"Me too, fighting underwater was almost killing me."

"The pressure underwater is probably too great, which is why we can't use our special abilities."

"Yes, it feels like the superpower was born with difficulty. It could have used ten parts of its power, but it only used five parts."

"Yes, mine is the same."

"Enough talk, everyone hurry up and find the entrance."

"Yes, Captain."

Zuo Qingya silently replied, "Okay, Uncle Fang."

"The captain can't find the entrance!"

"Captain, how about we blow up the door!"

"This is the only way now."

Zuo Qingya took out a few landmine fruits and looked at Xu Jianfang: "Uncle Fang, use these!"

Upon seeing what Zuo Qingya was holding, Xu Jianfang immediately knew what it was: "Is this that fruit that exploded and sprayed cocoa powder?"

Zuo Qingya nodded: "Yes."

“This works too, but it feels a bit wasteful.” Xu Jianfang took the landmine fruit from Zuo Qingya’s hand.

Zuo Qingya shook her head: "It's alright, Uncle Fang, I have plenty more."

After placing the landmine fruit, they detonated it. After several loud explosions, the door was blown open.

Just as they were about to enter the Apocalypse Experiment Base, the murky water in front of them cleared up, and they saw a man carrying an oxygen tank swimming out of the base.

Xu Jianfang grabbed the man's clothes and asked, "Who are you?"

The newcomer ignored Xu Jianfang and his group and swam forward with all their might.

Seeing people swimming towards the water, everyone could only follow. When they reached the land, Xu Jianfang was about to ask who the person was when he saw the man from before taking off his diving mask.

"Professor Zheng Peisheng?"

Zuo Qingya looked at the man named Professor Zheng Peisheng with some surprise. He was quite handsome, but his dark circles were a bit heavy.

Zheng Peisheng asked, "Who are you?"

Xu Jianfang grasped Zheng Peisheng's hand: "Hello! Professor Zheng Peisheng, we were sent by City of Hope to pick you up."

With tears welling up in his eyes, Zheng Peisheng said, "Why did you take so long to come? I almost died in there. Look at this oxygen tank, it's almost empty."

Everyone: "???"

"But it's good that we arrived at the right time, it's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. We just made it in time."

"Uh? You mean it?"

"Is there anything to eat? I'm starving."

Yes, yes.

Zuo Haijia took out some food from her spatial storage and handed it to Professor Zheng Peisheng. "Here's some food, Professor Zheng Peisheng, please take it."

"Okay, thank you!" Zheng Peisheng took the food and began to wolf it down. Judging from the way Professor Zheng Peisheng ate, you could tell that he had been hungry for a long time.

Fearing that Professor Zheng Peisheng might choke, Zuo Haijia handed him another bottle of water.

Zheng Peisheng thanked him again, took the water, and drank it.
