The central area was filled with skyscrapers, while closer to the outskirts were low-rise factories and buildings, somewhat like a dividing line between rich and poor districts.
Returning to the lab, Eddie administered the serum enhancement to Wolf Mother Karena, with Svetlana watching nearby.
She didn't receive it, but was instead very curious.
"Aren't you able to create a super-soldier army using this method?" Svetlana's eyes gleamed, her beautiful gaze betraying dangerous thoughts.
"You're overthinking it.
Only ten percent of people are immune to the serum, and I can increase that chance.
Simple enhancements don't pose much risk, but the greater the power, the greater the risk.
Besides, this thing isn't that useful.
Don't expect it to withstand planes and missiles; that's unrealistic," Eddie explained the serum's shortcomings.
This is technological enhancement, not cultivation from novels.
Withstanding missiles? That's TV—grenades blowing up planes, motorcycles spinning 360 degrees in place, flying through the air?
Svetlana, however, said haughtily, "You're wrong.
With a team of super-soldiers whose physical abilities have been enhanced to the peak, a special forces unit of just a few people, after some training, can easily destroy a small area.
Modern warfare isn't about who has more people."
"Are you talking about assassinating important figures? Decapitation strikes sound pretty good," Eddie responded quickly.
"It seems you're not stupid; you're quite clever," Svetlana's beautiful eyes flashed with a hint of interest.
"Do you want to be enhanced? I can do it for you," Eddie said with a smile.
"Why help me? I don't seem to be worth such a significant investment from you.
You are a very intelligent person; you never do anything that would put you at a disadvantage.
Including that female spy, the benefits she will bring you in the future will be more than what you put in," Svetlana asked, puzzled.
She wasn't a foolish woman; on the contrary, she was very intelligent and had some accomplishments in political maneuvering.
"What if I just genuinely want to help you?" Eddie smiled brightly.
"I don't want to accept, because you are a good person," Svetlana shook her head.
Eddie immediately bristled, saying in an unfriendly tone, "I warn you, I am not a good person, I am a bad person!
Don't ever call me a good person again; you're the good person!"
Svetlana was a little stunned; she didn't understand why he reacted so strongly all of a sudden.
"What are you doing? I'm not worth this from you."
"I say it's worth it, then it's worth it.
You can do whatever you want, but don't forget, we are friends, and when a friend is in trouble, you should help me," Eddie waved his hand.
He didn't know why, perhaps it was simply because he didn't want this female instructor, who was very beneficial to him, to die.
Pfft!
Svetlana suddenly laughed.
She didn't know what to say; how could there be such a foolish man now?
Friends? Friends are for betraying!
Perhaps it was Eddie's pure intentions, for after laughing for a long time, Svetlana suddenly became serious.
"Are you serious?"
"Yes!" Eddie also nodded solemnly.
"All right, I promise you.
If I fail, I will put everything aside and help you with all my might.
Before then, don't you dare die, and don't worry, I won't get a boyfriend either," Svetlana's last sentence was a bit profound!
"What does whether you get one or not have to do with me?
But let me tell you a secret quietly," Eddie suddenly looked left and right before whispering.
"What secret?" Svetlana was also a little curious.
"Being single is better; long live freedom!" Eddie suddenly burst out laughing.
Svetlana was stunned for a moment, then she reacted.
"Go to hell!"
This cautious female instructor ultimately reached a cooperation agreement with Eddie.
This woman's future is definitely limitless, and it's better to recruit her than to have her as an enemy.
It took Eddie a full day to create the T-Virus enhancement agent perfectly suited for Svetlana.
"We still need to wait.
There's only one cryo-chamber.
It'll be your turn after Karena finishes her enhancement," Eddie said with a smile.
"Drink? I haven't had a drink in a long time," Svetlana took out two bottles of vodka from the fridge.
They were both high-proof spirits; was she trying to get him drunk?
Chapter 60: A Hint from Wolf Mother
After the enhancement, Karena, like Ada, felt extremely hungry and needed to consume food constantly.
Compared to Ada's appetite, Karena's was even more astonishing, eating a full sixty-six pounds of food.
The serum enhanced internal organs, accelerating metabolism while also strengthening the digestive system.
The heart beat more powerfully, providing ample blood to the body, which is necessary for exerting immense strength.
The top-tier Tyrant series bio-weapons all have the flaw of an exposed heart; in reality, that is a secondary heart.
To possess superhuman strength, one must have adequate hardware to support it.
If the heart cannot provide sufficient blood, it will ultimately be no different from an ordinary person.
After eating her fill, Karena twisted her neck, seemingly stretching her joints.
Svetlana, however, said unexpectedly, "Let's fight!
I want to see the effects of the enhancement!"
"As you wish!" Karena also snorted confidently.
Beautiful women always harbor a slight animosity towards each other; this is why girlfriends are often chosen to be less attractive, bringing a sense of victory and vanity.
Eddie's expression was very strange.
Two women fighting?
Karena's appearance looked only in her thirties, and after the serum enhancement, she surprisingly remained in her most beautiful age of thirty, mature and intellectual.
Coupled with her years as a special forces operative, her combat experience was very rich; most men couldn't defeat her!
As soon as they said they would fight, the two women attacked very quickly.
Karena's speed seemed a little faster.
Svetlana, on the other hand, calmly defended with combat moves.
Her strength couldn't match Karena's, so she could only passively defend.
Bang!
The next second, Svetlana was sent flying.
With similar experience and technique, the importance of strength became evident at this point.
This is also why Eddie wanted to learn combat techniques: to have reverence for strength so as not to be blindly arrogant.
Looking at those villains who gained immense power after enhancement, the reason for their defeat was clearly their poor combat skills; having only strength is useless.
"Very good, that punch must have been nine hundred pounds!" Svetlana shook her arm; it was already a little numb.
"That's only sixty percent of my strength," Karena didn't continue her attack, stopping at that point.
She also somewhat recognized this woman's strength; having her protect the boss made her feel much more at ease.
"Alright, that's enough.
Svetlana, it's your turn.
Go into the cryo-chamber.
Oh, and don't step in with your shoes," Eddie reminded her.
When the cryo-chamber opened, Svetlana fell into a deep sleep amidst the cold environment.
The serum vial began to descend, along with the accompanying nutrient solution.
After all the work was done, Karena finally spoke, "That woman is from the Eastern Slav Republic.
She won't be easily subdued.
People from there all have a strong sense of mission."
"Sergei is the same, isn't he?
He also has a strong sense of mission, but now he's working for Spencer, and with absolute loyalty at that," Eddie gave an example.
If Sergei wanted to leave, even Wesker, who had already fused with the Progenitor Virus, wouldn't be able to keep him.
Out of loyalty to Spencer, he chose not to leave.
On another note, it also shows that Spencer is an idiot.
Having such a capable subordinate, he actually sacrificed him as cannon fodder!
And Spencer's personality also influenced Albert Wesker, making the latter similarly treat everyone as pawns, expendable cannon fodder!
Karena nodded, looking at her neat, elegant fingers.
The calluses on her palms had smoothed out, hidden, and her fair hands were actually very tough.
"It's good that you know.
I haven't finished yet.
If you can earn her trust and gratitude, then she will dedicate everything to you without hesitation, just to repay your kindness."
"Just like you?" Eddie smiled.
"Me? You and I are just a transaction, a long-term transaction, for a hundred years!" Karena was sneering at first, then became very gentle, as if she couldn't help but laugh herself.
"A hundred years is too short; a lifetime is more like it!" Eddie shook his head.
"I can't live that long, handsome.
You're still young," Karena shook her head.
In reality, she was old enough to be Eddie's mother, belonging to an older generation.
"With me, we can live for a very long time.
Give me time, and I can develop a serum capable of eternal youth!
A long life can be very lonely; living with a few friends won't make it boring," Eddie said proudly.
His ambition was immortality!
No one wants to die if they can live!
Looking at the man who was suddenly filled with grand ambition, Karena felt a sense of awe.
It seemed she was submitting to the man before her.
Despite his weak strength, why did he possess such an aura?
Perhaps this was the innate demeanor of a superior!
"I believe you; you will achieve it," Karena smiled brightly.
She had never trusted a man so much; this was the first, and perhaps the last.
"We still need some time for the enhancement to finish.
There's still some vodka here; let's drink and chat.
Anyway, we won't get drunk!" Eddie picked up the vodka and suggested.
A day later, Karena leaned against the door, dozing, resting her eyes.
She was very tired and needed some time to recover and rest.
It was hard to imagine how her future life would be.
Click!
The cryo-chamber opened again, and the laboratory temperature plummeted once more.
As the cold white mist gradually dispersed, a elegant foot stepped out of the cryo-chamber onto the floor.
Svetlana opened her eyes.
She felt a moment of disorientation, and besides feeling hungry, she felt an unprecedented vigor, full of strength, and her mind remained unaffected.
These were all Eddie's experimental inventions.
The T-Vaccine, besides supplementing deficiencies, was also an additive specifically used to protect the brain.
The T-Virus is powerful but affects intelligence.
Using the vaccine combined with the principle of cryo-freezing, and some special agents, it can ensure that cells fuse with the T-Virus without the brain being infected.
Once the serum is fused and becomes part of the cells, its impact on the brain becomes negligible.
