Svetlana shook her delicate hand; it was bright red from being hit. Jessica's defense was very difficult to break through; it was a pure enhancement, unlike Sergei, who could control the T-Virus for mutation.
Chapter 124: The True Female Tyrant Bodyguard
She had a mind, not very agile, but still decent, like a normal person, not a genius. This was already the result of minimizing the T-Virus's damage to brain cells with current technology; it wasn't too good, but not too bad either, still acceptable.
The experiment of bringing Jessica back to life, however, gave Rebecca and others confidence, proving that Eddie hadn't lied. Such a miraculous thing truly existed, and it also proved that immortality was indeed achievable! Immortality was not out of reach.
"Jessica, you have a daughter named Lisa, do you remember her?" Eddie asked.
Jessica nodded, "Spencer harmed us. I'm going to kill him!" Her tone was calm, without a hysterical shout, a calmness that made people feel terrified.
"She's still alive, but because she was used as an experimental subject and injected with too much T-Virus, her mind isn't very clear. She's forgotten most things, but she still remembers you; you are her mother. I think, if you want to save her, you must let her quietly accept treatment," Eddie explained.
"I'll listen to you," Jessica said indifferently.
This surprised Eddie a bit. Why did she trust him so much? "Don't you suspect I'm a bad guy?"
Jessica shook her head, "I don't suspect. I believe you. Even if you are a bad guy, to me, you are a good person."
"Alright, now that you put it that way, I'm a little embarrassed. Lisa's condition is mental confusion; everything else is very good. Like you, she has excellent recovery abilities, and her body is in great shape. It's just her mental state that has some issues, and her physique is special, requiring a relatively long time," Eddie explained.
"You are my good friend. I trust you. Whatever you tell me to do, I will do!" Jessica shook her head, her eyes filled with determination.
"Alright, you still need some tests. I'm also a scientist, but I pursue living longer. I hate inhumane experiments, so that's that." Eddie felt like he might have over-explained; Jessica's expression remained calm, perhaps because of the T-Virus's repair process, which didn't restore her emotions, leaving her with little emotional change.
In the following days, Eddie didn't return to Raccoon City. Instead, he sent Wolf Mom Ruper and Svetlana to buy food. The previous stock had been eaten by Jessica, and with everyone's large appetites, they wouldn't be full without buying more.
In Jessica, Eddie seemed to have found a second direction for evolution. If it could be achieved, she would possess the strength and speed of a Tyrant, powerful regenerative abilities, and even her internal organs would be strengthened.
This was the direction for further enhancement: maintaining a human form, reorganizing the gene chain, and further strengthening in all aspects. This was the reason for increased longevity. First, extend life and maintain youth, then consider immortality.
"She learns very quickly, at least in combat. Why not let her learn firearms? It might be useful. Then you could have a powerful bodyguard, couldn't you?" Svetlana suggested.
"And then you can gracefully retire?" Eddie retorted.
"I have things to do, and we'll part ways eventually. Just don't die before we meet again," Svetlana snorted. She wouldn't voice her inner thoughts, only expressing care for those she valued in her unique way.
"Alright, then I'll trouble you. I still have a few things to do, which should only take a few days," Eddie nodded.
So, Wolf Mom Ruper and Svetlana taught Jessica combat skills and weapons at the villa's training ground. Jessica was very special; she learned quickly in terms of attack but struggled with complex scientific knowledge, as if she found it hard to grasp.
Eddie began his next research, this time using the Progenitor Virus. The Progenitor Virus was very unstable, which is why the T-Virus was developed as a substitute, also a form of evolution.
This didn't mean the Progenitor Virus was useless; Wesker's superhuman physique was entirely due to the Progenitor Virus.
Jessica's unique case had already shown that absorption was possible, and a certain level of intelligence could be maintained. All of this proved that this direction was correct!
Without other worries, when he occasionally got tired, he would seek out Wolf Mom Ruper for some entertainment. In the lab, there were also three beautiful women helping, which was also a pleasant sight.
Meanwhile, in the Mediterranean, a long-distance cruise ship was sailing. This had been bought by Excella in her private capacity to serve as a mobile base for Eddie.
"Are you sure you want to return to the Federation?" Annette stood on the deck. The lab was already set up, and she had been resting during this time, spending it with her daughter, Sherry. The sea breeze ruffled her blonde hair, creating an unexpectedly beautiful sight.
"Of course, I have a premonition that something will happen to Eddie." Jill also stood on the deck, her short hair fluttering. Coupled with her special tactical gear, she looked heroic and spirited.
"Him? He won't be in any danger. That man is most afraid of death, why worry about him?" Annette wasn't concerned about Eddie's safety.
"Because I don't want my child to be born without a father. This time, entering the Federation through trade, coupled with Tricell's registration, we don't need to worry about inspections," Jill said with a gentle smile. In combat, she was a heroic female warrior. In life, she was a stunning beauty.
"What you said makes sense. I'll listen to you. Aren't you the main wife?" Annette said with a smile, waving her hand and leaving. She needed to go accompany her daughter, Sherry.
"Main wife?" Jill's expression became very strange. She had never thought that way. She still had to wait for Eddie to return, prepare the washboard, and properly ask why Annette had his child.
Returning to the lab, Annette began further research on the G-Virus and T-Virus, to see if they could be fused, retaining the G-Virus's evolutionary effects while maintaining the T-Virus's stable effects.
Excella had originally planned to go to Raccoon City to meet Eddie again and discuss continued cooperation, but she was delayed by company matters. The Travis Family had recognized Excella's intelligence and wanted her to marry a family member, otherwise, she would never be promoted.
Furthermore, there was a very difficult task: to earn a year's profit within one quarter to prove her ability, otherwise, she would obediently marry. This put immense pressure on Excella; it would be impossible to complete without resorting to some unconventional methods.
Chapter 125: The Female Tyrant Even Sergei Couldn't Defeat
Upon returning to Raccoon City again, Eddie made no attempt to hide this time. He directly blew up the research lab under the mountain villa. It could no longer be kept there, as spies were constantly appearing.
The lab had no documents. Everything that needed to be developed had been developed, and the data was not kept there but on Suzuki Yoko's computer.
Lisa was very excited to see Jessica, but Jessica remained calm, as if nothing could stir her emotions. Only when speaking with Eddie would her emotions fluctuate. Was it because the first person she saw when she opened her eyes was related to Eddie, or had emotions themselves disappeared?
Even Marcus, who had transformed from the Leech Queen, inherited Marcus's hatred—hatred for Umbrella and a desire for revenge against Spencer.
Everything about Jessica was calm, so calm that she was almost like an old monk in meditation.
Lisa's only remaining memories made her feel guilty and attached to her mother, Jessica. The mother she had been desperately searching for had appeared. Whenever Jessica spoke, Lisa would become very calm.
They returned to the Raccoon City underground laboratory, which now seemed somewhat empty because all the talent had been summoned by William. Apparently, some problems had arisen during the development of the G-Virus, requiring personnel to assist.
Behind Eddie were Svetlana and Jessica, and between them was Lisa, wearing a large trench coat and a hood. Lisa's appearance was very strange and easily recognizable, but with simple disguise, she could still successfully enter the laboratory.
Moreover, when they entered, they encountered Uncle Mark, who let them pass without much inspection.
Compared to the villa's underground laboratory, the equipment here was the most luxurious and advanced. The equipment at every Umbrella research branch was never inferior.
Skillfully arriving at his laboratory, Eddie began to prepare solutions. To avoid attracting attention, he didn't bring Rebecca or Christine Yamata or the other women to help.
This mission was to transform Lisa in a low-temperature environment using a vaccine solution combined with some special agents. At the very least, her outer appearance, which looked like she was wearing other people's skin, needed to be improved, otherwise, she would be terrifying to see outside.
Jessica remained very calm, even actively letting her daughter enter the cryogenic chamber, faithfully executing Eddie's commands. Whatever Eddie said, she would carry out. The reason was simple: trust. Even if Eddie had some bold ideas, he could try them, provided he had the courage.
Eddie had just finished adjusting the solution and had frozen Lisa, filling the chamber with the solution to allow Lisa to undergo transformation within it.
Lisa's physique was very special; almost any T-Virus that entered her would be absorbed, assimilated, and utilized. The only drawback was that this caused significant damage to brain cells. Memories would lie dormant in her mind, hidden very deeply, making it extremely difficult to recover them.
Just then, the laboratory door opened. Sergei, using his authority, walked in. He was very curious about what Eddie was doing, especially after experimenting in the Arklay Mountains for so long.
Sergei, directly subordinate to Spencer, appeared. This perfect T-Virus adapter, a general who had led troops and fought battles, naturally exuded an intimidating aura. Especially with two Ivan-type Tyrant bodyguards, over two and a half meters tall, following him, it looked like he was looking for trouble!
Seeing Sergei suddenly appear, without even a moment's preparation, Eddie didn't panic. Instead, he continued to control the computer, pouring the solution in until Lisa's cryogenic chamber was covered by the deep blue solution, almost completely obscuring her original appearance. The solution also gradually stopped flowing due to the low temperature, like a freezer.
"Uncle Sergei, is something the matter?" Eddie asked without turning his head.
"Hmph! I told you to monitor Wesker, and what are you doing? You even destroyed company property. Do you have other intentions? Do you want me to properly teach you what loyalty means?" Sergei was clearly looking for trouble, using the excuse of questioning. He was very suspicious of Eddie's actions, just like Wesker's back then.
"There was no other way at the time; no time to contact. I found that Wesker was collecting combat data on biological weapons, but he's from intelligence, so collecting intelligence is normal. Hmph, but Ms. Alex's butler, Stewart, told me who killed Uncle Marcus!" Eddie said with a playful expression after finishing his computer operations, turning around and pulling out a Magnum.
"Oh? Trying to rebel? Haha, it's a shame I have to personally educate you, boy. You're still useful," Sergei said, shaking his head regretfully. He apparently thought Eddie knew Spencer was the murderer.
