Chapter 134 The front lines are in dire need of help! A thousand miles of reinforcements are on their way!

She pointed to the processed medicinal herbs.

“These medicinal herbs, along with mugwort, ginger, safflower... we grind them into powder and make a completely new product.”

"Foot bath pack to dispel dampness and cold!"

Foot bath packs?

What is this?

The military wives looked at each other, completely bewildered.

Su Yue didn't explain further and led everyone to get started.

Grinding, mixing, dispensing...

Two days later, the first batch of foot bath packs, simply packaged but exuding a strong medicinal fragrance, was officially launched.

Su Yue immediately made a decision.

"The first batch will not be sold! It will all be distributed to the families of military personnel and soldiers injured during training for free trial use!"

That evening, many families, hoping to give it a try, boiled water and threw the yellowish-brown medicine packet into it.

A rich medicinal aroma instantly filled the air, and the hot water turned a deep brown color.

Soaking your feet in the water, a warm current rushes from the soles of your feet straight to the top of your head, so comfortable that you want to groan.

Fifteen minutes later, a miracle happened.

The old regimental commander, who had been suffering from arthritis for many years, felt that his stiff knees were not so painful anymore.

Military wives, who toil day and night and suffer from backaches and pains, felt much more relaxed.

Even children with rashes on their legs due to excessive humidity felt less itchy.

The effect is immediate!

The next morning, before dawn, a long queue had already formed in front of the pharmaceutical factory, and the queue kept getting longer and longer, turning several corners.

"Director Su! Director Su! Do you still have that foot bath pack? My mother-in-law used it and said she hasn't felt this comfortable in decades!"

"Give me ten packs! No, twenty packs! I'll pay any price!"

"I'm asking for it on behalf of the brothers in our battalion! The few who tried it out yesterday were training like they were on steroids today!"

The once deserted pharmaceutical factory suddenly became the busiest place in the entire military region.

Sister Li and Sister Sun were making so much money that their hands were sore from collecting it. The sales figures in their accounting books were growing rapidly, and they sold the amount that would have taken a whole month in just one day!

Those medicinal herbs that were once considered trash have suddenly become "gold" in high demand!

Upon hearing the news, Deputy Director Qian rushed to the pharmaceutical factory in a fit of rage.

When he saw the long queue stretching all the way to the foot of the mountain, and the accountant beaming with joy as he held the money box, he was completely dumbfounded.

His face turned pale and then bluish, eventually becoming an unsightly purplish-brown.

How is that possible?

How did that pile of garbage... turn into a gold nugget?

He looked up and met Su Yue's gaze.

Su Yue didn't say anything, but gave him the same faint smile as that day.

Deputy Director Qian felt a burning pain on his face, as if he had been slapped countless times in public.

He couldn't stay any longer and turned to flee.

"Wow! Factory Director Su is awesome!"

"That bastard surnamed Qian is infuriating!"

The military wives erupted in thunderous cheers.

...

As night falls, the noise subsides.

Su Yue finally had some time to herself.

She found the letter from Gu Beichen among a pile of letters.

Upon opening the envelope, the letter still bore that familiar, strong handwriting, a few words conveying that I was safe and sound.

Suddenly, a withered leaf drifted down from the letter.

Su Yue bent down and picked it up.

The leaves are small and have a unique shape; if you get close, you can smell a special fragrance.

The smile on Su Yue's face froze completely the moment she saw the shape of the leaf.

This is... the Soul-Severing Grass!

A highly poisonous plant that grows in extremely harsh environments!

What exactly is he carrying out?

Why did I come into contact with this kind of thing?

Su Yue's heart sank instantly.

The understated "everything is fine" in the letter now seems like a lie.

That night, Su Yue tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

The moonlight outside the window was cold and clear, shining on the bright red "double happiness" character inside the room, but there was no warmth to be felt.

In the darkness, she lay with her eyes open, the image of that soul-severing grass leaf repeatedly appearing in her mind.

Passive waiting has never been in her nature.

The next day, just as dawn was breaking, Su Yue got up.

She forced herself to calm down, went into the kitchen, and quickly ate something.

Then, she changed into a neat outfit, slung her medical kit over her shoulder, and headed straight for the military hospital.

Confidential archives room.

Grandpa Zhou was humming a little tune and wiping his precious purple clay teapot with a soft cloth when he saw Su Yue come in, and he immediately stood up.

"Dr. Su! What brings you here?"

He now obeys Su Yue's every word and is extremely respectful.

"Uncle Zhou, I'm here to look up some information," Su Yue said, getting straight to the point.

"Tell me! What do you need? As long as it's in the archives, I'll find it for you right away!"

Su Yue looked at him and spoke clearly.

"The more detailed the geographical and biological information about the 'Southern Restricted Area of ​​Hainan Island,' the better."

Grandpa Zhou's smile froze for a moment.

"A restricted area? That place is incredibly dangerous; no one has dared to go in for decades."

He muttered to himself, but his hands didn't stop. Soon, he took out a stack of dusty files from a metal cabinet at the very back.

"It's all here, Dr. Su, please take your time to look at it."

Su Yue thanked him, sat down at a table, and began to flip through the pages one by one.

The only sound in the archives was the rustling of papers turning over.

The air was filled with the smell of old paper and dust.

Su Yue read through it extremely quickly, her mental energy enveloping the old documents as she rapidly filtered out the useful information.

Most of them are just scattered records and have little value.

Until she opened a survey report from decades ago.

The report's paper was yellowed and brittle, and the handwriting on it, written in fountain pen, was blurred in some places.

The report mentions that there is a special mineral deep within the restricted area that emits weak radiation, causing various strange mutations in the plants in the area.

More importantly, this radiation creates a huge chaotic magnetic field, which will completely disable any conventional communication equipment that enters the area.

Su Yue's heart began to race.

Communication failure!

This explains why Gu Beichen's troops lost contact!

She continued reading, her gaze landing on the last page of the report.

In the signature area, two large, flamboyant characters were written.

Lone Eagle!

It's her father!

Su Yue's fingers tightened instantly, her knuckles turning white from the force.

The clues have come together once again!

Suppressing her inner turmoil, she turned to the appendix of the report.

There is a hand-drawn map there.

The map was drawn in great detail, with dangerous areas marked in red, such as poisonous miasma, swamps, and snake pits.

Then, using a blue pen, a relatively safe path was drawn.

Su Yue immediately realized that Gu Beichen and his team were likely carrying out a mission in this area!

Because of the communication failure, they were completely cut off from the outside world!
