She Was the Treasure All Along novel Chapter 447

Robert and the other soldiers who had followed Lucian for years shot him stunned looks.

At least during their years of service, they had never heard the General start a sentence by betting his own life to protect someone.

How critical was the General's life to the territorial waters of Harmony Country?

Even Gordon's expression grew complex. Although he didn't like Lucian or the danger he brought with him, he also knew that Lucian was a man who never made empty promises. He genuinely intended to lay his life on the line to protect his granddaughter.

In that split second, his resolve wavered slightly.

Morris spoke up first: "There's no time to lose. Get ready. You need to head out immediately."

Loyce repeatedly assured Gordon, "Grandpa, don't worry, I'll be fine."

Gordon finally nodded in agreement. Watching her and Lucian leave together, the old man let out another heavy sigh, followed by a questioning murmur, "Just how many unimaginable dangers did she experience during those years she was lost? A twenty-year-old girl, and she actually understands radioactive mines."

Inside the SUV.

The same question came from Lucian's mouth, "You've been deep into an uncharted mine before?"

Loyce didn't answer directly. "I need to swing by the military housing compound first. I have some things to grab."

Seeing that she didn't want to talk about it, Lucian didn't press her. He drove her to the military housing compound.

Loyce opened a hidden door in the study and pulled out a medical kit that had been kept in cold storage long-term. Inside the kit were numerous bottles and vials filled with heavily labeled reagents.

These were the various antidotes she had formulated to survive after being poisoned when she discovered a uranium mine years ago. But there wasn't much of these serums left, and they had to be mixed according to the specific poisoning symptoms. They had to be used with extreme caution.

Loyce carried the items back to the SUV. Lucian was talking with Robert, and seeing her approach, he said, "We need to head back to the military base first."

Lucian wrapped up his conversation with Robert and turned to Loyce, his expression grave. "That mine is located in the Khione Borderlands, specifically the Cryovoltic Peaks, Eastern Range. Right now, after the rain and frost, the temperature has dropped to around 20 degrees Fahrenheit, and there's a blizzard raging inside. I need to get us all specialized gear and hazmat suits, otherwise we're just walking into a death trap."
