Eddie was currently in his apartment looking at computer files. "This is just the beginning. Be careful of the other guys; someone will always be jealous of others' achievements. In a while, I'll give you some more drug information, and you can continue to sell them. Also, if anyone wants T-Virus, I can provide it, but the price will be very high!"
Excella's beautiful eyes lit up. This was core business, and she felt she couldn't do without his support. Even if this was a trap, an irreversible path step-by-step into the abyss, she would go down it without hesitation. She would rather self-destruct than become a plaything for the rich!
"I understand. When shall we meet again? I'm just afraid your wife won't agree!" Excella teased.
"Wife? Which wife are you talking about?" Eddie retorted mockingly.
Chapter 68: Wolf Mother Karena's Intelligence
After chatting for a while about some urgent matters, Eddie hung up the phone. Wolf Mother Karena crawled out from under the table, took out an electronic device, and said, "You're being bugged!"
"Were the things I just said heard?" Eddie frowned.
"Of course not. With me here, no one can do such a despicable thing." Karena finished, glancing at Svetlana, who was resting with her eyes closed on a sofa not far away.
"By the way, Karena, do you know anything about Umbrella's mobile forces?" Eddie remembered something. The Zodiac Express incident would happen soon, and he needed to know something about those mercenaries.
Karena took a water cup, rinsed it, and said, "I only know that the special operations forces are very elite, few in number, and all are top-notch experts, absolutely loyal to Umbrella."
"What about the Biohazard Countermeasure Force? Have you looked into them?" Eddie suddenly thought of another team, a combat team used as cannon fodder.
"That team is entirely composed of death row inmates and mercenaries. Their quality is very low, although there might be some good individuals. I think they are specifically used as expendable cannon fodder," Wolf Mother judged decisively.
"You're absolutely right, but you also have some real tough guys. Anyway, let's not discuss this topic. How are the things I asked you to plan coming along?" Eddie was still more concerned about how to escape Raccoon City. Don't forget, when the entire city is paralyzed, the roads are blocked, and trying to drive away is unrealistic.
Tens of millions of vehicles are blocking the roads; let alone driving, you can't even get through with a tank. Besides a crow flying a plane, there are no other transportation options. Unless you're lucky enough to find a place on the outskirts of the city without traffic, otherwise, you might as well wait to die.
"I've planned a few routes, but they haven't been implemented yet. What exactly is your idea? Why don't you just say it? Do you still need to hide things from me?" Wolf Mother Karena was very dissatisfied. She had given this man everything, and he was still hiding things from her, which was too much.
"I'm not hiding anything. I'm also not sure if we'll need to use it. Think about it, if the entire city falls into crisis, and traffic is paralyzed. Raccoon City is surrounded by barren desert on three sides, with only one side leading to the outside world. What do you say we should choose?" Eddie asked.
Karena frowned, "Of course, a helicopter. A helicopter can evacuate quickly and minimize risk."
"No, at that time, there might be situations where it gets shot down. He already said it's a crisis; I don't know what kind of crisis, but it's definitely not easy to deal with. Also, the planned route needs to consider the situation, number, and location of the retreating personnel," Svetlana added.
As a special instructor, her perspective on problems was always comprehensive, occasionally with a faint smile, seemingly very interested in Eddie, who never hid anything from her, including his messy affairs with other women. Svetlana knew everything clearly and didn't hide his intentions towards her either.
"How many people do you want to evacuate?" Karena asked, staring into the man's eyes. She felt Svetlana's threat, a unique sixth sense among women.
"I'm not sure yet, it shouldn't be many. Prepare two large buses, that should be enough. Outside the desert, there's a river, the Doma River, where small yachts can be used to reach the outside world. The helicopter is for us; everyone else can take the bus. For now, that's it. There are three hundred million in funds on the card; you can use it as you please." Eddie pondered.
Jill, Karena, and even Annette all had a supplementary gold card, with their respective birthdays as the password. This was their operating capital; some things required their help.
The main card was in Eddie's hand, and he could change permissions at will. After a while, once Excella's business was channeled, money would continuously pour into the account.
"Did you rob a bank?" Karena's beautiful eyes flashed with a hint of suspicion. Even with the closest people, she couldn't say she fully understood Eddie, but she still suppressed her curiosity. It was enough to complete the tasks the man assigned, and besides, she wasn't a woman who liked to be restrained and disciplined.
These measures were for him to escape the crisis outbreak in Raccoon City and also to rescue some useful talents. Let these useful talents live with hatred for Umbrella. Umbrella would not collapse so easily. With intricate relationships and various forces colluding, no one dared to uncover this lid; those transactions were unspeakable, belonging to the 'exposed to light, die' series.
What could be more interesting than using an enemy's resources to deal with an enemy? If there was anything, it was watching two enemies fight each other while you watched from the sidelines and reaped the benefits.
"Wrong, it's more thrilling than robbing a bank!" Eddie hummed proudly. Not everyone could trick money out of Umbrella. He not only tricked them but continued to trick them again and again, completely treating a powerful multinational corporation as a fool.
"Alright, you really are interesting!" Karena laughed, not pressing further. It was enough that the man was capable; other things didn't matter.
Svetlana smiled without speaking. She understood the man's ambition; to call him absurd, yet he had the foundation to achieve it. Instead of being brain-dead enough to want to rule the world or achieve immortality!
No one would refuse this proposal. Even a strong woman like Svetlana, if she could maintain her appearance and youth, and the man was pleasing to the eye, she wouldn't refuse.
Eddie was still looking at the G-Virus data; he was very interested in this serum. The G-Virus could be used as a strengthening material for the T-Virus, thereby increasing the serum's power.
However, a mixed variant of ordinary T-Virus and G-Virus would produce a very unique serum that could retain consciousness and also have super combat power. The cost was becoming like a Tyrant; it wasn't aesthetically pleasing in appearance and definitely didn't look like a human.
This alone made Eddie despise it; he wanted enhancement, not to become a biochemical weapon.
Secondly, this fusion serum was also particularly suitable for special individuals who wanted to change from male to female, even saving the cost of surgery in a certain special region. One shot, instant success!
Even so, it didn't mean that this fusion serum was useless; it was still very necessary to improve it.
In the underground laboratory on the other side, Annette felt nauseous and dry-heaved. After testing the results, while waiting for them, she simply packed some things.
Chapter 69: Annette's Pregnancy Test
This greatly surprised Annette because she had separated from William Birkin many years ago when the G-Virus was discovered. How childish was definitely not William's. There was only one bad thought, which made Annette feel very troubled.
At the same time, Eddie brought Svetlana to the gun shop to pick up the custom-made parts. He also bought sufficient gunpowder and bullets for Delta Team, ensuring they had enough logistical support to carry out their missions.
Svetlana was assembling firearms, while Eddie chatted with Emma, the daughter of Robert, the owner of the weapon shop. "Have you ever thought about making a firearm that you're most proud of?"
When Emma talked about weapons, her beautiful eyes showed a hint of fanaticism. "Of course! I have an idea to use electromagnetic effects to enhance the power of firearms. It's just that the current level of technology is far from sufficient, and even if it were possible, there would be significant limitations. The convenience is too low, making it impractical."
"Developing a single-soldier electromagnetic cannon?" Eddie suddenly thought of the electromagnetic cannons used by the Federation military and the anti-bioweapon electromagnetic cannons developed in the Second Hive under Spencer Memorial Hospital.
"That's right, single-soldier weapons are the mainstream. Our major focuses on individualization. If it were engineering, it would be different. Eddie, you seem to know a lot; you're very knowledgeable about firearms!" Emma praised him, a hint of curiosity in her beautiful eyes.
"Just average, I've only done some research. Emma, if I give you funds and materials to make an experimental version of a single-soldier electromagnetic cannon, can you do it? I've heard Uncle Robert say that your skill with firearms is even better than his, surpassing your teacher!" Eddie had a bold idea!
Not that kind of bold idea, but to recruit this beautiful mechanic to help him develop anti-biomonster weapons.
Eddie was well aware that what he was thinking, Umbrella had already been doing, and doing quite well. The Raccoon City Underground Laboratory, the Hive under the Arklay Mountains, and the Second Hive beneath Spencer Memorial Hospital were just the three main iconic structures.
The Mansion laboratory in the Arklay Mountains was Spencer's personal property, nominally affiliated with the company, used as a vacation spot for outstanding talents.
The First Hive was where biochemical weapons were developed, including research on the T-Virus. Hunters, Tyrants, and other biochemical weapons belonged to offensive research laboratories.
The Second Hive, located beneath Spencer Memorial Hospital, was responsible for developing vaccine serums and various anti-biomonster weapons and equipment, belonging to defensive research laboratories.
If there's poison, there must be an antidote. Selling them together is the only way to have a market and increase profits to an astonishing degree.
Emma's eyes lit up. Her greatest hobby was researching firearms and producing powerful ones. As for where these firearms would be used, she hadn't even thought about it.
Eddie's biggest goal was to develop a handheld single-soldier electromagnetic rifle, capable of piercing five buildings fifteen meters apart with a single bullet. No biochemical monster could withstand such a weapon!
It's unrealistic to expect to be invincible after serum enhancement. Having weapons is key. Dodging bullets like Wesker and catching rocket launchers with bare hands isn't impossible, after all, after strengthening the body and gaining superhuman strength, it would be a shame not to show off.
Showing off for a moment is cool, showing off all the time leads to the crematorium!
"This is very difficult. It requires high-precision calibrators, heat-resistant gun barrels, and further research on energy. This belongs to plasma rifles, which are legendary theoretical weapons, basically impossible to build," Emma shook her head.
"Don't be discouraged, have some confidence. I believe you can do it. Afterwards, I plan to set up a laboratory to develop equipment and weapons. I know these weapons will be very popular later, and I want you to help me. I'll invest in your experiments, and you become my chief researcher, how about that!" Eddie suggested.
This was not a whim, nor was it based on Emma's valiant and capable charm. Rather, it was said out of practical consideration. The Raccoon City biohazard crisis was a pandora's box, and from then on, biochemical weapons would continuously appear. Various small-scale battles would require excellent weapons and armor, which would also be hot-selling items.
Large-scale destructive weapons like tanks and planes are generally rarely used. Instead, biochemical weapons are cheap and more suitable for small-scale combat, and even more suitable for use in cities.
