The night fell, as if to swallow up the whole world.

The door of the recycling station slowly opened in the darkness, making a mournful "creaking" sound, as if telling the story of the desolation and misery of the end of the world.

Mou Xuan's figure appeared at the door. He took a deep breath, and the air was filled with a mixed smell of rotten food residues, waste metal and unknown liquid, which rushed straight to his forehead.

Even though he had experienced the baptism of the end of the world, he couldn't help but frown.

This place is simply a giant garbage dump!

He suppressed his discomfort and walked in.

There is a mountain of garbage under my feet, including plastic bottles, rags, rusty iron sheets...

Various wastes are piled together in disorder, and you may trip over them if you are not careful.

Under the dim light, rats and cockroaches were scurrying around, making creepy rustling sounds.

"This Hua scavenger is hiding quite well." Mou Xuan cursed in his heart.

He didn't come here to visit the garbage mountain, but to find rare materials that could solve the alliance's predicament.

He pushed aside the pile of garbage in front of him and searched carefully.

Time passed by minute by minute, and there was nothing but garbage around, as if there would never be an end.

"Ahem...Who is it? Why are you here at my garbage dump so late at night instead of sleeping?" A sharp voice suddenly sounded, breaking the silence.

Mou Xuan looked in the direction of the voice and saw a short man with a dirty face, looking at him with narrowed eyes.

The man was wearing a tattered cotton jacket and his hair was messy like a bird's nest. He looked like a scavenger.

"Are you Hua the Scavenger?" Mou Xuan asked straight to the point.

The man looked Mou Xuan up and down, grinned, and revealed a few yellowed teeth.

"Yes, it's me. What do you want from me?"

"I want to ask you for some clues about rare materials."

Hua the scavenger heard this and said, "Clues? Hehe, that's not given for free. If you want clues, you have to show some sincerity."

"What do you want?" Mou Xuan knew that this kind of person would not release the eagle until he saw the rabbit.

The Chinese scavenger rubbed his hands and said greedily, "I don't want much, just... one ton of food and ten kilograms of fuel."

Mou Xuan's brows were tightly furrowed.

A ton of food!

Ten kilograms of fuel!

This is simply asking for too much!

The alliance’s material resources are currently limited. How can they come up with so many things to exchange for a clue?

"What do you think? Have you thought it through? These days, information is money. If you miss this opportunity, you'll miss it forever!" Hua the scavenger looked at Mou Xuan proudly, as if he had him figured out.

Mou Xuan was silent.

He looked at the greedy face of Hua the scavenger, and the anxiety and pressure in his heart erupted like a volcano.

Are we really going to be trapped here?

"I..." Mou Xuan was about to speak.

"Are you sure that these are all?" He paused, staring into the eyes of the scavenger and asked.

Mou Xuan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a meaningful smile: "I don't like being threatened. One ton of food, ten kilograms of fuel? Haha, do you think I'm a sucker?"

The Chinese scavenger's face changed. He didn't expect that the young man would be so stubborn. Could it be that he thought the price was too little and wanted to increase it?

"How about this," Mou Xuan changed his tone and said, "I'll use a secret to exchange for your clues, how about that?"

"Secret?" Hua the scavenger was stunned, his cloudy eyes flashing with greed, "What secret?"

"A secret that can prolong your life and make you rich overnight." Mou Xuan deliberately lowered his voice and spoke mysteriously.

Hua the scavenger swallowed his saliva, his curiosity aroused by Mou Xuan's words.

He had been working in this garbage dump for decades and had seen all kinds of strange things, but he had never heard of the secret to prolonging life and getting rich overnight.

"You... don't try to fool me!" Although Hua the scavenger was tempted, he still remained vigilant.

"Believe it or not." Mou Xuan shrugged, with an indifferent attitude, "Anyway, I won't suffer any loss."

Several scavengers nearby were also attracted by the noise. They looked at each other, wondering what on earth this young man was trying to do.

"Wait!" Hua the scavenger stopped Mou Xuan who was about to leave, "How do you want to change it?"

Mou Xuan stopped and smiled triumphantly: "It's very simple. I have the ability of time. I can let you go back to the past and change a decision you regret the most. Just think of it as... experiencing a 'regret medicine'?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience was in an uproar.

Time power!

This is a legendary ability!

If we could really go back to the past, wouldn't we be able to do whatever we want?

The Chinese scavenger was completely shaken.

Compared with the unknown "eternal life" and "wealth", nothing is more attractive than making up for regrets, not to mention that the other party possesses the heaven-defying ability of time!

There was a hint of desire in his greed and cunning.

"Okay! I promise you!" Hua the scavenger said impatiently, "I'm telling you, the rare material you're looking for is in the abandoned warehouse at the deepest part of the recycling station. It used to be a chemical plant with a lot of discarded chemical reagents piled up inside. What you're looking for is in it!"

Mou Xuan's eyes lit up, he waved his hand to signal Chen Yao to be on guard, and ran towards the warehouse.

The door of the abandoned warehouse was rusty and made a harsh friction sound when pushed lightly.

Mou Xuan walked in cautiously. The light inside was dim and there was a pungent smell of chemicals.
