Lu Zhengjun was completely bewildered, not understanding why she was doing this.
"Crescent Moon, what are you doing?"
"Shh—" Su Yueya pretended to be very secretive, turning her body to hide her actions of opening the envelope, and carefully pulled out the prize money. "Wow!"
"What's wrong?"
Su Yueya's eyes narrowed into small crescents with joy, her face beaming with uncontrollable smiles. She exclaimed excitedly, "Honey, the bonus is a thousand yuan!"
"One thousand yuan!"
Although she lowered her voice, Su Yueya's excitement was still evident.
Lu Zhengjun: "..."
What a little money-grubber!
But Lu Zhengjun really liked Su Yueya's money-grubbing appearance; she found it incredibly cute.
"Are you that happy?"
"Of course! Think about it, even if I do nothing, I can still get 40 yuan a month for free. And every time I make a human skin mask, I get an extra bonus. What great benefits! If you ask me, our army is the best! So generous!" Su Yueya gave a thumbs up.
They truly deserve to be called the people's pillar of support!
"Alright, put the money away first," Lu Zhengjun reminded him.
Su Yueya winked at him and whispered, "Don't worry, it's already stored in my spatial storage, it's perfectly safe!"
Thanks to instructions from higher authorities, discussions about human skin masks in the military have indeed decreased significantly, and the fervor has gradually cooled down.
At first, Su Yueya didn't really feel like a special advisor, because she hadn't participated in anything yet and went to work at the military hospital every day as usual.
Life is no different from before.
One day, Su Yueya received a notice asking her to go to the military base the next day.
This notification wasn't sent through Lu Zhengjun, nor to anyone in the family, but to a soldier in the army named Xu Ziqi.
Su Yueya guessed that Xu Ziqi must be one of Commander Liao's men.
"Comrade Su, I'll pick you up tomorrow," Xu Ziqi said politely but seriously.
“No need for that trouble, I know how to get to the military base, I can go with my husband,” Su Yueya said.
Xu Ziqi refused, saying, "Comrade Su, your work assignment needs to be kept confidential."
Su Yueya: "..."
She then realized what was happening.
Just like when Lu Zhengjun carried out a mission before, or when she participated in a mission as a medical rescue team, it was necessary to keep it highly confidential.
“I understand,” Su Yueya said.
It seems that from now on, the soldier who will be in charge of her missions will be this Xu Ziqi.
That's true, it's impossible for Commander Liao to handle everything.
The next day, Su Yueya was secretly picked up by Xu Ziqi. Although they still went to the military base, their way of entering and leaving the base was different from Su Yueya's usual way. It seemed that they went through some kind of private passage.
Su Yueya understood perfectly. She didn't say a word or look around. She did whatever Xu Ziqi asked her to do and was very cooperative.
Arriving at a row of well-hidden low houses, Su Yueya, following Xu Ziqi's instructions, entered a dimly lit room.
There was a chair in the room with a man tied to it, and the man had signs of torture on his body.
Fortunately, Su Yueya was a doctor and had seen plenty of "bloody" scenes before, so when she saw the man, she remained calm and focused on her own thoughts.
"Comrade Su, your task this time is to make this person's human skin mask," Xu Ziqi said.
Su Yueya confirmed it again and knew that they were to select a group of soldiers and then have the one whose build was most similar to this man impersonate him.
"Where is the wearer of the human skin mask?" Su Yueya asked.
"Please wait a moment, they will arrive shortly."
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, someone outside reported that a group of soldiers had entered the room.
Su Yueya: "..."
What a grand scene!
If you don't look at their faces, this batch of soldiers looks almost identical; they were selected strictly according to their height, weight, and build.
With the face covered, the body alone is enough to create a convincing illusion.
Su Yueya glanced at them; there were a total of twelve soldiers.
"Comrade Su, you need to make twelve human skin masks. After they all put on the masks, then choose the one that is most suitable," Xu Ziqi said.
"Understood." Su Yueya nodded.
This is a huge project!
Unlike making human skin masks for Lu Zhengjun—whose masks only have one layer—the human skin masks to be made today have to have two layers. And these are not crude products for demonstration purposes, but exquisite products with enhanced details in all aspects. Twelve of them must be made at once.
Su Yueya stretched her muscles and knew that this battle would not be easy; she estimated that it would be no easier than performing several surgeries afterward.
"Comrade Su, may we begin?" Xu Ziqi asked.
“Okay.” Su Yueya nodded.
"You must cooperate with Comrade Su, understand?"
Xu Ziqi looked at the row of twelve soldiers, and they all said in unison, "Understood!"
For the rest of the time, no one spoke in the room.
Aside from Su Yueya occasionally giving hints to get the twelve soldiers to cooperate with her in making molds.
"Sit down first, and call me when the mold on your face is finished."
"Next!"
"Next!"
We have to make twelve portions, just like an assembly line operation.
Su Yueya's movements were slow at first, striving for precision, but as she became more skilled, her movements became faster.
When taking a mold of the bound man, he was very uncooperative and kept moving around.
"Three men, hold him down!" Su Yueya shouted.
The twelve soldiers, seeing that Su Yueya was a girl, assumed she was a delicate and weak little girl. Unexpectedly, they were surprised to hear her speak in a commanding tone, with a rather imposing manner.
Three men arrived immediately and pinned the man down.
After taking the mold, Su Yueya quickly made twelve human skin masks.
"Put on your masks according to your assigned numbers," Su Yueya said.
Because there were so many of them, they were numbered from the beginning to avoid mistakes. Su Yueya didn't know their names and wasn't curious about them, so she simply referred to them by their numbers.
"Go stand over there."
The scene was quite spectacular.
Twelve—no, thirteen people—with the same face stood in front of Su Yueya.
For a moment, she felt like her eyes were playing tricks on her.
After the masks were made, Su Yueya continued to refine them, adjusting the shape of the eyebrows, the bridge of the nose, and the shape of the mouth. After adding everything, the thirteen people looked like brothers.
"Comrade Xu, I've finished here." Su Yueya reported to Xu Ziqi, only then noticing that it was already dark.
She worked on twelve human skin masks for an entire day, from day to night.
Only now did Su Yueya belatedly realize that she was tired.
"Comrade Su, please wait a moment. Commander Liao will be here to inspect the troops soon," Xu Ziqi said.
Su Yueya indicated that she understood.
During the waiting period, Su Yueya gave the twelve soldiers the same hairstyles as prisoners and made their faces dirty.
