Chapter 1552
Chapter 1552 Heading to Gilodam
As the young woman exited the car, she watched the cautious driver suddenly accelerate. The startling speed kicked up a cloud of dust, leaving little time for anyone to react. His remarkable driving skills even outshone those of a professional racer.
The driver was none other than Lupius, a member of the Special Unit specializing in tracking. That said, his name sounded like a piece of equipment in games and didn't quite fit his appearance.
After all, who would expect that a plain, cheerful middle-aged man with a Hossip accent could be someone feared by foreign spies?
Lupius strode in, biting down on a cigarette. When he spotted Wynter, his smile grew warmer. "So, what do you want me to look into, Boss?"
Although the Special Unit's members were at odds with each other, they held Wynter, known as 001, in high regard. Such an admiration had little to do with age, as Lupius shared the same respect.
"I'll cut to the chase. We might face a pandemic in three months. I need you to head to Gilodam and investigate whether there are other ways to enter the country," Wynter instructed.
Elmer was surprised by the mention of his hometown, Gilodam. He had assumed the pandemic spread from the borders into the rest of the country.
"I'll go with Lupius, Boss. He might have trouble understanding our accent. It's better if I tag along," Elmer offered as he lifted his gaze. Appearing to be in his 20s, he sported a delicate face with headphones slung around his neck.
Wynter voiced her approval. As she glanced at the forensic team performing the autopsy, she handed her lucky coins to Lupius and Elmer.
"Besides investigating the source of infection, track down the Winston family as soon as possible. I have some questions for Chad-if he's still alive."
While Elmer nodded in response, Lupius appeared much more composed. Having experienced an outbreak in the past, Lupius was aware of the disaster it could wreak on normal citizens.
It was clear to Lupius that such a disease didn't emerge randomly. He knew the locations and methods to find the virus, which was precisely why Wynter had summoned him. After all, certain tasks were best left to experts for quicker and more effective results.
Wynter considered the need to leave some subordinates at the crime scene. They didn't end up completely empty-handed, but the blood needed to be collected and analyzed.
Wynter suspected that the blood didn't belong to just a single individual, but tracing its source might be challenging since it was mixed together. However, she believed there were
other clues left behind.
"Aren't you coming with us, Boss?" Elmer questioned. He was convinced that the pandemic was a critical issue that needed to be averted.
Wynter turned to him and replied, "The matters in Hawford aren't settled yet. There are things I'm curious about. I'll be investigating them alone."
Aside from the scholarship committee, she was curious about why Clyde's possessor had chosen to seize his body at the villa. She wondered if there was something within Hawford that could activate the Draconia Inheritance Formation.
On top of that, she was skeptical about Lynette's club. She wouldn't rest easy until she unraveled those mysteries.
Biting on his cigarette, Lupius coolly added, "Do you seriously think the boss has the time to deal with everything herself? Besides, this place gives me the creeps. She's definitely staying here. She's an expert when it comes to handling supernaturals, after all."This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Elmer fell silent, worried that Wynter might run into trouble if she stayed behind. Noticing his concern, Wynter assured him, "Don't worry. Lucas will be here soon as the higher-ups have transferred him over. He's probably on the train by now."
