"In this operation, our goal is to find the tonic tree. There are eight of us here, divided into two groups, to search for the whereabouts of the quinine tree, and once found, send a signal to the other group. Once we have the bark of the quinine tree, we'll leave. ”

After saying this, Mo Xun took a deep breath: "Everyone is clear about the mission of our operation this time, right?" Okay, let's go! ”

With equipment on their backs, weapons in hand, and gas masks, they ventured into the valley shrouded in red mist.

Cai Youyou, Mo Xun, Liu Jin, and Cheng Nan are in a group of four, and Wang Fatzi, Zhu Qing, Pan Gang and Li Xuan are in a group of four.

As agreed, they kept in touch with each other using walkie-talkies dedicated to the rainforest environment, and entered the valley with their hands and feet, trying not to alarm the dangerous creatures hidden in the red mist, and carefully alerting the surrounding movements.

Everyone carefully observed their surroundings according to the information they had memorized in their minds about the quinine tree.

Including every tree in the forest, every fallen leaf on the ground, is the object of their observation.

Cai Youyou's side, after walking for more than an hour, finally made a discovery in the depths of the valley.

She noticed that there were many oval-shaped opposite leaves floating on the ground, and in shape, color, and form, they were the same as the leaves of the quinic tree!

This discovery made Cai Youyou excited!

She immediately raised her head and looked around, but saw a large tree about twenty or thirty meters high coming into view.

Except for the difference between its height of twenty or thirty meters and the information recorded on the notes left by her father, all the features of the big tree looked exactly like the quinine tree.

Cai Youyou immediately told the other three people in the team about his discovery.

"You see, all the features of this tree, except its height, are consistent with those of the quinine tree. I think this kind of big tree should be a quinine tree, but I don't know why, it grows so tall. Cai Youyou said.

"I don't think it's a problem at all about height or anything, maybe the quinic tree itself can grow to that height. The kind that your father saw back then, only three to six meters tall, was just a young sapling inside a quinine tree. Liu Jin shrugged his shoulders and said, "I think we should be more worried about whether this quinine tree growing in the red poisonous mist will absorb any toxins than whether its bark can be used." ”

Mo Xun said: "Senior Liu Jin's concern is not unreasonable. But this is the only quinine tree we've found so far. We had to take the bark back and take it back to the camp to take some samples and test them to see if we could take them. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Cai Youyou: "Cai Xiaoxiao, you and Senior Liu go to fetch the bark, and Senior Cheng and I will go to the open space next to us to shoot a signal flare, and tell the fat man about the situation on our side, so that they can come and join us as soon as possible." ”

Under Mo Xun's command, everyone immediately began to act in an orderly manner.

Cai Youyou began to collect tree bark with his hands, and said to Liu Jin: "Senior Liu, I think we must collect more bark to go back......
