"I won't let a woman get hurt in front of me, no matter how strong the enemy is." Eddie slowly stood up, his eyes turning crimson. He activated his full power mode, determined to finish William quickly!
Chapter 226: Husband and Wife United
Eddie's state was close to berserk, much like a Tyrant in its unleashed, rampaging state. His strength was greatly enhanced. Unlike a Tyrant, Eddie wouldn't mutate, but his strength and speed would significantly increase. The cost was double the energy consumption; he'd be fine until his energy ran out, but after that, the situation would be hard to predict.
William also roared and charged, his massive right claw swatting away a vehicle blocking his path. A nearly one-ton vehicle was casually flicked away; this was just a random strike from William, demonstrating how formidable he was in this form.
Eddie, in his charge, had crimson eyes, seeing only William. William's movements seemed to slow down again. Even in an extremely berserk state, Eddie maintained his rationality and thought process, pulling out another Taser.
After dodging William's colossal claw strike, he threw the Taser at William's head. At the same time, he clenched his right fist and delivered a powerful punch, bursting the eye on William's right arm, which was larger than a bus headlight!
Bang! The eyeball, which could withstand knife attacks, was directly smashed. Eddie immediately kicked William's shoulder and retreated.
William, in pain, retaliated with a claw strike that sent Eddie flying, his speed suddenly increasing significantly. As he tried to continue the pursuit, the Taser discharged over three thousand volts, almost making William's head explode, and the high-intensity current brutally destroyed the control chip in William's clone's head.
Now, the G-Virus completely took over William's body. Standing still, William's head continuously shrieked, constantly shifting to the lower left, while a monster's head began to regenerate where his original head had been—this was the G-Monster's head!
Eddie, who had been sent flying, quickly regained his balance. In his berserk state, even with the G-Virus's invasion, his injuries were healing rapidly.
"Monster, go to hell, die!" Eddie ran quickly, launching a flying kick.
The G-Monster merely used its massive claw to block Eddie's kick, sliding back over twenty centimeters on the ground. The constantly evolving and mutating G-Virus could be said to surpass the T-Virus, yet it lacked a controllable growth direction, making it a temporary failure, though its combat power was very high.
Bang! The G-Monster's left hand still temporarily retained a human form. It threw a punch, but Eddie sent it flying. The force of this punch was close to five tons, comparable to a head-on collision with a large truck.
Svetlana watched with a frown. She couldn't let Eddie get hurt, so she immediately picked up her Magnum and attacked relentlessly. Each shot accurately hit the monster's head.
"Roar!" The monster roared and charged, abandoning its pursuit of Eddie and turning to attack Svetlana.
Bang! Svetlana's combat skills were considerably more refined than Eddie's. Although she had been enhanced once, the disparity in strength was simply too great. There was no way to confront it head-on; she could only rely on agile close-quarters combat.
Just then, Moira, Claire, and others also got out of the car, picking up their firearms, wanting to help. However, Svetlana and the monster were entangled in combat, making it unsuitable to fire for fear of friendly fire.
Emma took out her experimental electromagnetic gun and began adjusting it, "Give me a minute, I'll tune the gun, it should be able to defeat that monster."
"We'll cover you," Moira said, holding her gun.
"Let's not shoot yet. We just need to guard against these surrounding zombies. That monster won't come over for now, we have plenty of time, don't rush," Claire rationally analyzed the current situation.
"Claire, you're really impressive. If it were me, I would have already started shooting," Moira seemed to have a special affinity for Claire.
Eddie quickly recovered and rushed forward to continue fighting the G-Monster. In this state, he seemed to have a sudden realization: intense exercise increased rapid blood circulation, allowing the serum and blood to fuse more thoroughly, and the rapid blood circulation also allowed cells to fully absorb energy, achieving the effect of enhancement and evolution.
His first joint battle with Svetlana yielded unexpectedly good results. Whenever the G-Monster attacked, Eddie would use his combat skills to strike its wrists and arms to block, while Svetlana was responsible for counterattacking, delivering a shot and a kick to the eyes that appeared on the monster's body.
The monster continuously wailed in pain, its body rapidly mutating at the same time, growing numerous sharp spikes in many places, making Svetlana's attacks even harder to be effective.
"This monster is hard to deal with through combat. We need high-powered weapons. There are still grenades in the car. Ten grenades detonated together would have a power similar to a rocket launcher," Svetlana, while attacking, still had the presence of mind to analyze the monster's attack methods and ways to defeat it. She truly lived up to her reputation as a formidable elder sister with superb combat power.
"You go get the grenades, I'll hold it off," Eddie agreed with the elder sister's viewpoint.
But the next second, the G-Monster suddenly let out a roar, carrying a slight sonic wave that left Eddie momentarily stunned. Did this monster know the Lion's Roar Skill?
Whoosh! The giant claw swept over with a whistling wind. Eddie was precisely in a state of being defenseless; this claw strike could potentially cause serious injury.
Eddie flew out, but he wasn't injured. At the critical moment, Svetlana stepped forward, using her back to shield Eddie from the G-Monster's attack.
Eddie raised his hand; Svetlana's back was covered in blood. "Why did you do that?"
"I told you, I'm your bodyguard, you're not going to die," Svetlana said, a bit weakly.
"This could very well leave a scar," Eddie said with a helpless, bitter smile.
Svetlana looked very weak, but she still managed a faint smile, "Worst case, I just won't wear a bikini anymore." Her tone was casual, not caring about such things.
"Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you. You'll still wear bikinis in the future, but only for me," Eddie teased, unable to deny that he was moved. There weren't many women in this world willing to take a bullet for another man, especially a mature elder sister with countless experiences.
"You're too smug. I'm just doing my duty as a bodyguard. I'm very tired, I want to sleep for a bit," Svetlana struggled to stay awake, because once she fell asleep, she might never wake up.
"Don't sleep, wake up, otherwise you might receive some unpleasant treatment," Eddie could only carry Svetlana on his back. He needed to find the underground laboratory to create a vaccine to save Svetlana and Ada.
Chapter 227: Lisa
"I'm not sleeping, I'm just a little tired and want to rest for a bit," Svetlana also tried hard to stay conscious.
On the other side, Claire picked up the electromagnetic gun Emma had adjusted. "Eddie, be careful, duck, don't stand up."
After speaking, her fair finger pulled the trigger, and a blue light bullet flew out, accurately hitting the G-Monster's head, crippling half of its newly regenerated head.
Whoosh! A swift gust of wind came, along with the sound of high heels tapping on the ground. Two women in long trench coats appeared, one with golden hair, mature and charming, the other with white hair, young and beautiful.
When Jessica saw Eddie injured, her beautiful eyes instantly turned crimson. "Lisa, come with me, let's kill that monster."
"Okay, Mom," Lisa also entered a berserk state. She could autonomously decide whether to go berserk, and her special physique meant she wouldn't suffer any weakness or harm. She only listened to her mother; whatever Jessica said, she did.
Lisa's speed in her berserk state was extreme, so fast that even eyes couldn't keep up.
The G-Monster instinctively sensed something. It had just been hit by the electromagnetic gun, and half of its head was gone, so it didn't react immediately.
A delicate hand broke through the spiky defense, grabbed William's heart, and crushed it with a high heel. A rapid spinning kick sent the monster flying, causing it to fall through the hole it had emerged from.
"Eddie, are you okay!" Jessica rushed over, asking with concern, and also threw out two grenades. Kicking it while it was down was a casual act; if she weren't worried about her man's injuries, she would have chased after it and beaten that monster to death.
"I'm fine. You came at just the right time. We need to go to the Spencer Memorial Hospital's underground laboratory. You and Lisa take us there, quickly," Eddie instructed.
"Claire, I need a favor. You and Emma and Moira should find a room nearby to hide in. It should be safe here, and I'll find you later," Eddie quickly instructed again.
"No problem, leave it to me. You be careful," Claire, being the oldest, naturally took charge of the two women without hesitation.
Soon, Jessica was carrying Eddie and running quickly, while Lisa carried Svetlana and Ada. The two women's full-speed running surpassed most cars, and they directly leaped over many obstacles, their jumping ability superior even to the Thanatos Tyrant.
The twenty-kilometer distance took only ten minutes to cover; there were hardly any zombies on the streets that could block the two women. Even Lickers were brutally crushed by Jessica's high heels; any monster that dared to block her would either die or be crippled.
Upon arriving at the hospital, they happened to encounter the Echo Six Team, who were there to find the restorative fluid.
Captain Jettingham, seeing two women carrying three people rushing into the hospital, asked in confusion, "Hey, we're from the Marine Corps. Do you need help?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jessica and Lisa disappeared around the corner, entering the underground laboratory through a secret passage.
Eddie began to prepare the G-Virus vaccine in the lab. "January, help me lock the main door of this lab. Don't open it until I finish the experiment."
"Received, my boss," January began to remotely control the electronic lock there.
"Jessica, you and Lisa put Svetlana and Ada in the cryo-chamber," Eddie continued to instruct. He was also beginning to be affected by the G-Virus, but he could still hold on. As long as the vaccine was developed and used in time to clear the virus, he would recover.
