1. "Everything starts here, everything disappears from here…

2. "I'm here for the second time to take samples!" Shi Zhengli, a researcher at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, appeared at the South China Seafood Market at 17:00 on March 3. On the same day, she and her team took two boxes of samples.

3. Shi Zhengli collects samples from the market to study environmental survival of the coronavirus
"It's not easy to come once" ;)
"Compared with CCDC we have taken much fewer samples, & findings are the same as their results
"They found more than we found, & we found nothing"

4. March the 3rd - 5th - The WCDC "Killing Teams" Arrive

5. "The Thin Lady"
Faced with doubts, on Feb 2, Shi Zhengli declared:
"I, Shi Zhengli, bet my life, it has nothing to do with our laboratory."
Her "statement" was widely questioned.
As of March 3, doubts were still flying, & Zhengli's appearance at the Market was eye-catching.

6. Meanwhile...
"I've been here all the time. I stayed at the market, I wasn't infected. Do I deserve to be infected?"
At 16:00 on March 1, a cheeky left-behind worker in the market was lying on his back on the sofa chain smoking, and seemed a little bit upset.

7. The worker's POV

8. "Slipper Brother"
"A family of 4 in Wuhan lived in the South China Seafood Market for 43 days without wearing protective clothing but were not infected"

Earlier, there was news that "the South China market will completely disappear." The staff member responded, "The hoarded items on the site will be disposed of. Of course, the main building will not be demolished."

10. The Killing Teams ;)
A killer who wished to remain anonymous revealed that there had been several disinfections
Some shops have small attics & killers need to climb up ladders before killing them
"It's slippery so you need to be very careful when you go up & down the ladder"

11. The Responsibility of a Killer
"The killer said that according to the killing plan formulated on Feb 25, when the market materials are cleared out, all the killing teams are also responsible for the complete disinfection of the materials"
