This is a wilderness away from the hustle and bustle of the city, surrounded by undeveloped mountain trails, because of the sparse population, Xia Chen almost got lost when he came here, but fortunately, the navigation is not a pit, and he was accurately delivered to his destination.

Hengyue medicinal material cultivation base!

Standing at the door of the base, Xia Chen stared at it with jumping eyes, and even if he didn't enter the inside, he could literally guess the role of this base.

Think about it, Hengyue Pharmaceutical's main economic source is the external sales of all kinds of drugs, the output of which is by no means tens of thousands, if there is no own industrial chain, how to supply the raw materials needed for production, relying on the acquisition alone is just a drop in the bucket, but also can not ensure the supply of reserves, from a long-term perspective, far from the convenience of self-sufficiency.

Coupled with the unified mode management to ensure the quality and quantity of the source of medicinal materials, this is the reason why Hengyue Pharmaceutical can continue to be exposed to people's eyes for a long time.

Shopping malls are like battlefields, soldiers and horses do not move grain and grass first, only to ensure that the rear supply is sufficient, in order to be effective and sustainable.

After staying in place for more than ten minutes, Lu Xinyao showed no sign of coming, Xia Chen had nothing to do, and was ready to go back to the car to listen to music while waiting.

His gaze unconsciously swept to a corner, he was suddenly stunned, and two fleeting figures appeared in his sight.

"Why is he here?"

These two figures are one person and one bird, who are they if they are not Han Zhuobin and Dapeng?

With doubts, Xia Chen quickly ran towards the place where the two disappeared, but unfortunately, they had already disappeared without a trace.

"Xia Chen!"

In the distance, Lu Xinyao finally appeared, and greeted Xia Chen from afar, although Xia Chen was full of doubts about the appearance of Han Zhuobin and Dapeng here, but this person was not there, and the random speculation was just asking for trouble, shaking his head, dispelling the plan to find them, and ran back towards Lu Xinyao.

"The gate is here, what are you doing over there?" Lu Xinyao got out of the car, put on her small satchel, and looked at Xia Chen with a curious expression and asked.

"It's not like you've been waiting too long and just walking. Xia Chen scratched his hair and smiled awkwardly, but the latter didn't dig deeper.

The two walked into the base side by side.

This base covers an area of several thousand square meters, and most of the buildings inside are factories, and only a few buildings are scattered together to form an office area.

While the two walked, Lu Xinyao explained to Xia Chen that this is one of the several planting bases of Hengyue Pharmaceutical, and the concept of wild planting is adopted in order to ensure the efficacy and yield of medicinal materials, so the factory site is deliberately set in the sparsely populated barren mountains and mountains.

With natural greenhouses such as nature, medicinal materials can better thrive, and the medicinal materials cultivated in the mountains and forests are basically those rare medicinal materials that cannot be cultivated artificially.

When I came to the office building, there were already people waiting downstairs, most of them technicians in research coats.

The leader is a middle-aged man in his 50s. As soon as he saw Lu Xinyao coming, he immediately signaled to the people behind him to warmly welcome, and for a while the applause continued and thundered.

"This is really formalism to the end. Xia Chen pursed her lips at Lu Xinyao and complained, the latter frowned slightly, although she was unhappy but at the same time more helpless, she shook her head and said: "You can't put an end to this kind of thing, even if it's superficial work, if you don't do it, you will inevitably be gossiped about." ”

"That's ....." Xia Chen didn't continue to drill into this matter.

Surrounded by a group of people, the two entered the office building, and there were not as many people accompanying them as before, just sending a few representatives to follow together.

Wang Yang, the middle-aged man who was ordered to line up outside the door to welcome him, is the chief researcher of this base, and he is responsible for the detection and analysis of Chinese medicinal materials in the base, which can be said to be the real leader.

Qin Huaizhong, similar to the director of the base, is mainly responsible for the cultivation and shipment of medicinal materials, similar to the existence of a housekeeper, and can say that he assigns and handles everything except for research and analysis.

Zhou Xiang, in addition to Wang Yang, who is the oldest herb cultivator in foreign capital, will combine relevant data to select the best planting environment for medicinal herbs, and will also improve and cultivate new varieties through drug analysis on weekdays.

A group of 5 people, under the leadership of Wang Yang, entered and exited each medicine shed, and Zhou Xiang temporarily took over the position of commentator, introducing the names and uses of the medicinal materials planted to Lu Xinyao and Xia Chen.

"You didn't bring me here for no reason, did something happen?"

Originally, Xia Chen would not consider this aspect, but the appearance of Han Zhuobin and Dapeng made him suspicious in this regard, these two people are one person and one demon, and the place where they haunt is extraordinary, although there is only one side of the relationship, but Xia Chen thinks that it will not be such a coincidence to meet here, the only explanation is that there is a problem!

"I doubt that you can see through people's hearts, this can't be hidden from you....." Lu Xinyao looked at Xia Chen in surprise, and then said the real purpose of coming here.

There was no problem with this base, but a few days ago, strange things happened one after another in the deep mountains where medicinal herbs were planted, which made the workers here panic, and the relevant departments came to investigate but could not find out the problem, and Wang Yang, who was the number one, felt that this matter could not be concealed and not reported, so he notified her.

"What's weird?"

"I heard that many medicinal materials disappeared mysteriously overnight, and there were no suspicious people in the surveillance, but there was a deep ditch left at the scene, and it was guessed that this thing had eaten up the medicinal materials. ”

"Deep ditch?" Xia Chen frowned slightly, "You mean the medicinal herbs that reptiles steal to eat, and based on their size, they are concluded to be similar to a big python or something?"

"I didn't say that, you said it, but as far as I know, it should be a snake, and it's a large snake. Lu Xinyao said worriedly.

Xia Chen was a little puzzled, there are no demons and monsters in the concept of ordinary people, even if there are large snakes, it will not make Lu Xinyao so nervous, as soon as she received the call, she made a special trip here, and the matter has developed to the present, on the surface, it seems that it is just an animal stealing medicinal herbs, but the real factor is definitely not this, because just like this, it is not enough to make people panic.

So what's behind this?

Xia Chen's heart had already concluded that this incident had nothing to do with the demon, he was just curious, what kind of rumors made these ordinary people feel that something was wrong, so as to associate it with the impossible thing, if this matter could not be properly handled, it would only get worse and worse in the future, leading to a loss of control.
