Lisa's hair was still snow-white, and her pretty face nodded solemnly, "I will do it. They are all my family. Mom said that Lisa needs to protect her family, and Lisa will try her best to do it."
"Good girl! I'll give you a candy when we get back!" Eddie laughed, his eyes subtly glancing at Jessica, whose expression was indifferent.
It seemed that after the second treatment and repair, Jessica and Lisa had become even more like one person. Perhaps in the future, they might even regain human emotions, although they were not bad as they were now.
The existence of Jessica and Lisa must absolutely not be known to Umbrella personnel, especially Spencer. If he knew that Jessica, who had been presumed dead for thirty-two years, was still alive, he would surely capture her for vivisection.
"Darling, be careful on the road," Jill smiled. She didn't really want to go out tonight. As a pregnant woman, even with the T-Virus enhancing her physique, she still needed to be careful.
Walking along, there weren't many people on the streets; everyone was hiding in their homes. But from time to time, a scream could still be heard, as if someone was being attacked in a house.
"Eddie, what exactly is going on here?" Claire was very confused and also felt very lost. This place looked exactly like hell.
"An incident created by a large multinational corporation. They colluded with the federal Senator, and Raccoon City itself was built entirely with their investment. So this is just their testing ground, and I used to be an employee of that company, but I've since resigned. The less you know, the safer you'll be; they will kill to silence you," Eddie said calmly.
"Then is my brother investigating something related to this company? In Raccoon City, it can only be the Umbrella Corporation, right!" Claire immediately guessed which company it was.
"That's right. Two months ago, we investigated a Mansion in the Arklay Mountains and discovered unknown experiments taking place there, creating many monsters.
Furthermore, the monsters escaped and polluted the entire forest. Over time, Raccoon City was also polluted," Eddie briefly recounted the Mansion incident, adding a bit of embellishment to make himself look good.
Claire frowned, "Eddie, you are truly great!"
Svetlana sat silently in the back seat, not saying a word. She almost wanted to laugh but didn't dare, as it would embarrass the man. She could only hold it in, hoping she wouldn't suffer internal injuries.
"Just average, I just did what I had to do. You know the drugs that suppress leukemia and AIDS, right? I invented them. The higher-ups at Umbrella were jealous that my drugs could sell for a very high price and wanted to threaten me into cooperation, not letting me leave Raccoon City. If I didn't have some connections, they might have already killed me and stolen my work," Eddie scoffed.
"I'm so sorry to hear that, Eddie. Don't be sad, I believe you can definitely overcome this difficulty!" Claire cheered on her new friend.
"You're right. By the way, Claire, have you ever thought about what kind of person you want to be in the future? Do you have a dream?" Eddie expertly drove the car. The streets were very empty. Trust him, he wouldn't crash!
"A dream? No, but I want to help other people! To the best of my ability, I hope the world can be a little better," Claire smiled, her sweetness not lacking in heroism. She was a very opinionated and special girl.
"Alright, perhaps we both have something in common, but after you've witnessed the tragedy of Raccoon City, I think we'll have more common topics." Eddie drove the car, and as they reached Ennerdale Street, the wandering zombies nearby suddenly became active.
Intense gunfire also came from ahead, seemingly police officers fighting zombies. Among them were over three thousand police officers drawn from other cities, all escorted by the Guard to Raccoon City for assistance.
"What's happening up ahead?" Claire was very confused, but the wandering zombies around had already targeted the sports car and began to close in.
"There's a big truck behind us, we need to get out of the way quickly, or we'll be flattened!" Svetlana reminded.
Eddie immediately slammed on the accelerator, sending the zombies ahead flying. This level of impact wouldn't kill the zombies, but the windshield was obscured by blood, making it impossible to see the road ahead.
"Claire, unbuckle your seatbelt, we need to get out of the car." Eddie hit the brakes, unbuckled her seatbelt, and opened the car door. The Samurai Edge helped Claire clear the zombies from the path.
The tanker truck behind quickly crashed into them. Ahead was a large high-rise building. The tanker truck overturned the sports car, then itself, and the booming explosion sent Claire flying.
For a moment, flames soared into the sky, seemingly dividing the two days. In the middle was a raging inferno, impossible to cross, while behind them, a large number of zombies were closing in.
Eddie frowned, then with a quick run-up, he ran directly onto the wall, stomping hard on it several times. Using acceleration and inertia, and relying on his extraordinary strength, he literally scaled the wall, crossing nearly eight meters of fire.
Claire was a little stunned. Was this even human? This was Superman, right? Even the best athletes at her university couldn't do something so amazing.
Just as Eddie was about to show off, he saw Svetlana gracefully roll and land, still wearing high heels, her queenly demeanor fully displayed!
"Eddie, you're amazing! That move of yours was really cool," Claire praised.
"Just average. You'll be able to do it too someday. Are you alright? Are you hurt?" Eddie helped Claire up.
Claire waved her hand, "I'm fine. I exercise regularly. My brother Chris taught me a lot of combat techniques. This won't faze me. Thank you for your concern."
Chapter 208: T-103 Tyrant Appears
On Raccoon Street, over three thousand combat personnel had gathered: agents, police officers, elite police officers, and various combat personnel from the precinct, along with one hundred Guard members.
The mixed personnel engaged in a brutal defensive battle on Raccoon Street. There was a temporary shelter nearby. The mutated zombies began to besiege this shelter. Sound is the most intuitive stimulus for zombies; wherever there is sound, zombies will go there and constantly wander, and in this process, their vision will gradually degenerate.
At the same time, two helicopters, emblazoned with the Umbrella logo, flew in from outside Raccoon City. Six crimson large canisters were suspended beneath the helicopters, loaded with the latest and most cost-effective T-03 Tyrants.
This model of Tyrant was for sale, and now was the best time to monitor its data. Although it was the same model as the Ivan-type Tyrant, the differences were significant. One was for a high-end hotel, the other for an alleyway; the price difference was huge!
"Let's go. We just need to cross this street to reach the precinct. Tonight's situation is a bit bad; it seems the outbreak spread too quickly." Eddie looked around, not finding any Hunter or Licker, which was a good thing.
Claire suddenly called out to Eddie, "Eddie, thank you. Even in such a dangerous time, you're still accompanying me to look for news of my brother. Thank you so much!"
This made Claire feel very bad. She hadn't realized how dangerous Raccoon City was when Jill said it; she thought it was a joke, never imagining it was truly hell. Now that she had dragged Eddie into it, she felt truly remorseful.
"What does it matter? I'm actually very happy to make a friend like you. Perhaps we'll become good friends, won't we?" Eddie smiled and extended his hand for a handshake.
"Thank you, I'm also very happy to have you as a friend. You are a good person!" Claire also shook his hand generously.
"No, no, no, I'm not a good person, I'm just a bad person. Let's go, we need to be quicker, or those zombies will surround us." Eddie smiled and led the way.
Svetlana watched silently from behind. What a naive woman, still calling him a good person? He was a wolf in sheep's clothing!
The four continued on. Their location was still some distance from Raccoon Street, at least ten kilometers away, but the night was too quiet, and the gunshots could be heard from a great distance.
Whoosh! A tendril suddenly shot out—it was a Licker's attack!
Eddie pulled Claire back, allowing her to narrowly dodge the Licker's attack. The tendril punctured the ground, creating a small pit, showing how terrifying the Licker's signature attack was!
Bang! Svetlana raised her Magnum, her beautiful eyes already locked on the Licker. As the gunshot rang out, the Licker had already sensed danger and quickly scrambled up the wall with its limbs.
But all of this was useless. As a special forces instructor, Svetlana's marksmanship was top-tier; she almost never missed a shot.
The Licker was fast, but it still couldn't escape the fate of being shot in the head. A Magnum could penetrate an elephant, so what was a Licker? Moreover, its brain was exposed; not shooting it would be an insult to such an obvious weakness.
On Allon Street near Raccoon Street, a canister was dropped.
The heavy crimson canister fell from a height of fifty meters, directly smashing the zombies below into a pulp. A few seconds later, the canister exploded, and a large man wearing a special coat, over three meters tall, appeared.
This was the T-03 Tyrant, currently the most cost-effective Tyrant. This was not a mass-produced model but a genuine, full-strength configuration. Its mission this time was to eliminate the informed individuals in the Raccoon City precinct, including Ben, who had colluded with Chief Brian and possessed a large amount of Umbrella's dark secrets, as well as Chief Brian himself, among others.
After the Tyrant awakened, its gaze swept across, analyzed by electronic instruments. Any zombie that blocked its path would be slapped, its head disappearing.
The zombies seemed to sense the strong T-Virus on the Tyrant and did not attack this behemoth, showing a tendency to bully the weak and fear the strong.
The Lickers hidden in the residential buildings also seemed to have discovered the Tyrant's presence. They, too, sensed a kindred aura. Therefore, they did not attack. The instinct of hunting is to bully the weak and fear the strong, and avoiding the Tyrant was a very wise choice.
Thump! Thump! The Tyrant began to walk towards its target location, each step heavy. Zombies on the road were slapped away by the Tyrant. A casual slap had a force of three tons; the zombies were sent flying into trash cans, their fragile bones instantly crippled.
The Echo Six Team also returned to Raccoon City. This time, the Thanatos Tyrant was fighting alongside them. Kaplan had accepted his family's gift and, together with General Morgan, decided to test the Thanatos Tyrant, and the testing ground was naturally Raccoon City.
If the data was good, they would mass-produce the Thanatos Tyrant. In exchange, they would provide Dr. Mueller with G-Virus data and research support, allowing him to create an even more powerful perfect work of art.
With a better work of art, the mass production of the Thanatos Tyrant was not unacceptable. People are always realistic; if they can go to a five-star hotel, why go to an alley?
"It's ironic that we're actually working alongside a bio-weapon," Marisa, the demolitions expert, scoffed.
"We're just following orders, don't overthink it." Captain Jeddingham encouraged his team members. He also felt very uncomfortable; this kind of thing was clearly inhumane. Who would willingly partner with a zombie?
