Chapter 1723 Who Is She

Wynter seized on a key phrase. "How did you know he dealt with aquatic animals?"

"He always smelled like fish. One day during my rounds, I asked him about it," Nigel replied, confused. "Is there a problem with that?"

Wynter fixed her gaze on him, seriousness etched across her face. "This is critical. Dr. Alistair, I need you to recall-where exactly did he sell those aquatic animals? Where does he live?"

"His home? The address he provided was... a..." Nigel racked his brain, and then suddenly exclaimed, "It was a local farmers' market! Just the one nearby. I remember now! He mentioned delivering aquatic animals there things like shrimp and fish."

The moment Wynter heard the words "farmers' market", her expression shifted sharply." Hold on a second,"

She didn't hesitate and quickly dialed a number.

This wasn't a call to Colifernia's local officials. Instead, it went straight to the top. After all, Special Unit 001's line was originally established for military coordination.

The person answering her call was none other than Jackson, who was stationed in Kingbourne.

Jackson didn't waste time with pleasantries. The fact that Wynter chose to call this number meant the situation was dire. Hence, as soon as he saw her name, he halted the meeting he was in.

Wynter's voice was steady as she began, "Mr. Munn Senior, I suspect a large-scale

pandemic may occur in Colifernia. This situation was reported earlier, but there's been no follow-up from local hospitals.

"From the current signs, the outbreak might already be underway, possibly starting five days ago or even earlier. I need a full lockdown of Colifernia and an immediate dispatch of professional medical personnel, preferably military doctors."

Jackson's frown deepened as he listened. "Understood. I'll make the arrangements immediately."

Just as Wynter was about to end the call, Jackson stopped her with a question. "Can it be contained?"

Wynter glanced at Nigel across the table before replying, "It's unclear at this stage."

Jackson was worried, given that he couldn't be there. "Wynter, we are not professionals. The safety of Colifernia's people rests in your hands. If-"

Not wanting him to finish the grim sentence, Wynter interjected firmly, "If it truly gets out of hand, then we lock down the city."

Jackson sighed heavily, but on the other end of the line, Wynter's eyes were resolute. "It won't come to that. Rest assured."

Though he knew her courage was unshakable, Jackson couldn't help but add before hanging up, "Make sure you stay protected. Take care of yourself, Wynter!"

"Alright," Wynter reassured him.

After hanging up Jackson's call, Wynter immediately posted a members-only message on the dark web.

"Anyone near Colifernia, drop whatever you're currently working on and listen carefully. Colifernia needs you. Be forewarned-this time, we're dealing with an invisible, untouchable virus that could threaten lives.

"The Special Unit has always operated on a voluntary basis. If you're willing, head to Colifernia's farmers' market on the west and assist in its complete lockdown and containment. I need a full trace of everyone connected to the market within half a day.

"For those who want to join, simply signal with a light on the dark web."

Nigel overheard her words. Although he didn't understand what the dark web was, he recognized the weight of her statement. Even in such a dangerous situation, she left the choice to the individuals, prioritizing their health and safety.

What he didn't expect was the immediate response.

Wynter's screen lit up almost entirely. People who had long retired from the team, and even those who hadn't officially joined but had exceptional skills, all signaled their willingness to help.

And it all came down to one sentence. "Colifernia needs you."
