The fake heiress from the 1970s was kicked out at the beginning, but became a village girl and was p

Late at night, Xiaoxiao, the nurse who had met Ling Wenchen in his ward during the day, walked into the darkness and headed towards a secluded spot.

If Jiang Yuyan were here, she would see that her cold expression at this moment was completely different from the arrogant and brainless demeanor she had shown during the day.

Standing under a large tree, I saw that there were already people waiting for me.

"Have you found it?" the mysterious man asked.

Nurse Xiaoxiao's voice was icy cold, her face expressionless, like a heartless 'robot'.

"Every day at noon, I would deliver lunch to the deputy commander and stay for about an hour or two before leaving to go back to my dormitory."

"She doesn't go out in the morning. Her mentor eats with her every two or three days. She has a very good relationship with the deputy head of the ward. Their relationship is probably more than just a superior-subordinate protection relationship."

The mysterious man paused for a moment.

"The plan has changed somewhat. Mr. Zhou wants you to proceed as originally planned tomorrow. After the operation, return to the hospital immediately and keep a close eye on the military's movements."

"Report any situation to us immediately."

"yes!"

After their conversation, Nurse Xiaoxiao returned to her dormitory with a small bag of things.

The next day.

Master Qi brought the breakfast he had bought early in the morning and called Jiang Yuyan to get up and eat together.

After breakfast, the two headed towards the base's morgue.

Why in the morgue?

The base is short-staffed and sparsely populated, with no extra space for researchers to conduct their studies.

Before going inside, Jiang Yuyan followed Master Qi and put on a white coat, mask, and gloves.

There were only two corpses. I heard that they chose the one whose body was best preserved; the others were in a terrible state.

Upon entering,

Jiang Yuyan smelled a strong stench of decay, mixed with other odors.

The scent was very faint, and when she tried to smell it carefully, she couldn't smell it anymore, as if she had just imagined it.

but--

Jiang Yuyan frowned. If she hadn't misheard, the scent was clearly that of the Mind-Dispelling Powder, a drug known as the "Ancient Puppet."

Also known as a divine medicine, this medicine is now extinct. In addition to its domineering and vicious properties, it is also very difficult to find all the herbs needed to make it.

Over time, the miraculous medicine disappeared from everyone's sight.

The "Mind-Dispelling Powder," as the name suggests, causes a person to instantly lose consciousness upon inhaling even a tiny amount, becoming a mindless puppet that obeys the instructions of its user.

Jiang Yuyan looked at Master Qi, who had no reaction, and realized that she might have been wrong.

If it really was the "Spirit-Dispelling Powder," they would have been affected the moment they entered the room, and it's impossible that they're still unharmed now.

"What are you thinking about?" Master Qi interrupted her thoughts. "Come here quickly. Whether we can complete the mission today depends on you."

Jiang Yuyan carefully examined the two corpses and told Master Qi about their differences one by one, so that he could remember them.

Yes, you read that right.

Jiang Yuyan took the lead, with Master Qi acting as her assistant to help her record data.

If a master and disciple acted like this, the master would definitely expel the disciple from the sect, considering him a prodigy.

For Jiang Yuyan, this situation is quite common.

After all, only Master Qi could accept that her apprentice was more skilled than her, could learn quickly, and could even use her knowledge to create strange and effective medicines.

Just as she was finishing her inspection, Jiang Yuyan noticed something unusual in the small details.

She picked up a magnifying glass, examined it carefully, and then called over Master Qi to take a look.

"...It's leather flower." Master Qi said in a deep voice.

Contrary to its name, the skin disease is far from pleasant. On the contrary, once a person comes into contact with it, it can spread through the skin to others, potentially infecting the entire city.

"Someone come here—"

"Go tell the division commander to seal off the clinic and dormitories, and not let anyone in or out of here."

The assistant was shocked, "..."

"Go and check carefully again. Anyone who has entered or left the clinic and morgue in the past two days, and whoever has a record of it, must be quarantined."

The assistant panicked, sensing something terrible was about to happen.

"Mr. Qi, what has happened?"

"Tell the division commander that the corpses brought back had fur stains on them—"

“!!!!!!”

"What are you all standing there for? Go and notify them!" Master Qi roared.

The assistant snapped out of his daze and rushed outside in a panic, almost stumbling and falling because he wasn't watching her closely enough.

Jiang Yuyan carefully examined the corpse covered in skin flowers, and then went to examine another corpse to confirm that both corpses were covered in skin flowers.

"The locations are all very secluded; I suspect they were deliberately designed that way."

If you accidentally get skin blemishes on your skin in the wild, the location is unlikely to be in a hidden part of your body unless someone did it intentionally.

Pihua, a very bright and rare flower, grows only on the edge of cliffs where the temperature is below -50 degrees Celsius, due to its extremely demanding growing conditions.

Nowadays, nobody has the leisure to travel to those kinds of places; anyone with the means to do so will inevitably get involved.

If you get it on your skin normally, the toxicity and infectivity won't be very strong, and you can usually just rub it off with dirt.

However, if you deliberately mix the sap from the bark of the tree with the sap of the flower drum, then they become two different highly poisonous substances, both of which are very contagious.

Master Qi also realized this, and his expression became extremely ugly.

His eyes were filled with heartache as he looked at Jiang Yuyan. "Girl, this time it's my fault as your teacher that I've dragged you down."

If it weren't for him, Jiang Yuyan wouldn't have come to the border;

If he hadn't been so arrogant, thinking that he and the army could protect her no matter what, he never expected that the person behind the scenes would destroy everyone in order to get the formula for the medicine.

"Master, what are you thinking about now? I'm the pregnant one, and I haven't been thinking about it at all. Why are you so much more worried than me?"

Jiang Yuyan teased him, then pulled out a stool and sat down.

She had only been standing for a short while when she felt tired and drowsy.

Jiang Yuyan blinked, trying to clear her head, but shook her head and felt increasingly dizzy.

She suddenly woke up with a start, "Master—" Something's wrong.

Master Qi, who had been speaking, collapsed at some point.

Jiang Yuyan staggered to the toolbox, grabbed a scalpel, and stabbed herself hard in the leg.

The excruciating pain brought her to a slightly clearer state of mind. She staggered over to Master Qi, scribbled a note, and stuffed it into the pocket inside his clothes.

After doing all this, Jiang Yuyan could no longer control her dizziness and collapsed to the ground, losing consciousness.

Hearing no movement from inside, two men wearing gas masks and heavily wrapped up entered.

They dragged Jiang Yuyan and Master Qi away from the ground, and before leaving, they set the two corpses on fire. Only after watching the morgue burn down did they quickly evacuate.

moment.

"Fire! The morgue is on fire!"

"Help! Help! Put out the fire!"

"Oh my god, it seems Elder Qi and his apprentice are still inside! We need to save them quickly, what if something happens to them—"

Division Commander's Office.

"Report: Director Liu was found hanged at home. There were obvious signs of struggle on his body. It was not suicide but homicide."

"We've checked everyone. Apart from the newly arrived Elder Qi and his apprentice Comrade Yanzi, who are no longer here, everyone else is fine."

The division commander had a stern face, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

At this moment, a guard and Master Qi's assistant rushed over.

"Commander, something's happened! Old Qi said to immediately seal off the clinic and dormitories, and no one is allowed to enter or leave. Anyone who has been to these two places in the past two days must also be quarantined."

The division commander frowned. "Why?"

There's no reason why they would seal off these two places; it's simply impossible.

The assistant swallowed hard. "Old Qi said that skin flowers have appeared in the morgue."

The division commander, who should have acted immediately, felt that things were too coincidental.

Two hours ago, the director of the base's mechanical department was hanged at home by someone unknown, and all the evidence pointed to Old Qi and his apprentice.

And just as they discovered that the morgue where Qi Lao and her apprentice were staying had just seen a highly contagious outbreak of dermatitis.

These coincidences were so numerous that it was no wonder the teachers and superiors were suspicious.

However, considering the instructions from above, the division commander dared not draw any conclusions lightly.

"Someone, send a team to seal off the clinic and dormitory, check everyone who has entered or left in the past two days, and quarantine them according to regulations."

"Anyone who does not cooperate will be forcibly taken away."
