Infinite Disasters: I Hoarded My Way to Godhood novel Chapter 455

Chapter 455: Chapter 455: Another Hidden Quest, and It Snows

"Right! Right! We have to get this back immediately!"

Dr. Ford nodded forcefully, hugging the potion canister tightly to her chest as if it were the entire world.

"Every second counts!

We have to get the formula for the Barrier Breaker Type I, the sample, and all my research data to Shelter Three at top speed!

They have better equipment and production lines there!

With this, Cataclysm-Class Monsters will no longer be an insurmountable barrier!"

No one hesitated.

The five of them immediately started packing, preparing to leave.

Dr. Ford carefully packed the sample and data. She kept the canister of "Barrier Breaker Type I" on her person.

Just as they finished packing and were about to leave the makeshift lab, a system notification once again sounded in the minds of Seraphina Sullivan and Chet Lucius:

[Ding! Detected critical plot item ’Barrier Breaker Type I Potion’ and core research personnel ’Dr. Sophia Ford.’ Triggering Phase Two of a hidden quest!]

[Quest Name: The Embers of Hope]

[Quest Requirement: Ensure Dr. Sophia Ford and her research findings safely arrive at Inland Shelter Three and are successfully handed over to the military or a designated scientific research authority.]

[Quest Reward: A Mysterious Grand Prize!]

’Another hidden quest, and the reward is a "Mysterious Grand Prize"...’ Seraphina’s interest was piqued.

’It seems escorting this doctor and her research is far more important—and dangerous—than I initially estimated.’

Chet Lucius received the notification as well. He didn’t hesitate for a second, immediately turning to Dr. Ford. "Doctor, there’s no time to waste!

We leave now!

The sooner we get out of these city ruins and into a relatively safe area, the better!

I have a bad feeling... Something terrible might happen if we stay out in the open."

His premonition wasn’t unfounded.

The system’s "warning" and "higher difficulty" notifications said it all.

"Alright! Let’s go!" Dr. Ford, also keenly aware of the importance of her research, didn’t want to delay another minute.

The group of five quickly left the lab building and cut across the silent, ravaged campus.

Traces of the previous night’s fierce battle were everywhere. A few mutilated human corpses and monster carcasses were scattered about, and the faint smell of blood and scorched flesh hung in the air.

The thugs who had tried to rob them had evidently been wiped out in the nocturnal monster attack.

Seeing the gruesome scene, Sharon Lynn’s face went pale with fright. She hugged Flora Sullivan’s neck tightly, burying her face in her shoulder, unable to look.

Flora Sullivan soothed her while vigilantly scanning their surroundings, checking for any lurking dangers.

Just as they stepped out of the campus gates, ready to find a vehicle or plan a new route, the unexpected occurred!

A cold, white speck gently drifted down and landed on the tip of Seraphina’s nose.

She instinctively looked up.

In the gray, hazy sky, fine... snowflakes? had begun to fall at some point.

"Is it snowing?" Seraphina was stunned for a moment.

"How... How is this possible?!"

Dr. Ford also looked up, her face a mask of astonishment and confusion.

"But it’s supposed to be summer!

It shouldn’t be snowing at this latitude!

And this temperature..."

Before she could finish, a bone-chilling cold suddenly washed over them.
