"Valerie, consider joining us. You've seen our strength. Only I can protect you from Umbrella's attacks, and only I can let you continue working in the industry you love." Eddie looked down at his phone.
"That's right, Valerie. This way we can work together again. Isn't that great?" Suzuki Yoko was also recruiting; the more useful people they had, the smoother the work would go.
"I agree, but this contract seems a bit harsh, doesn't it?" Valerie whispered.
"It's not harsh, because you've already enjoyed the benefits of a full-time employee, so you have no room to bargain." Eddie suddenly became very assertive. He noticed that the other party was a bit timid. Although brave, she couldn't make up her mind well on some key matters.
"Ah, this, I..." Valerie was a bit embarrassed. She was just a college student with some skills, but not yet at Ada's level, where she could take advantage and then run.
"Just sign it. Maybe later you won't want to leave. You won't go even if we chase you out." Suzuki Yoko smiled sweetly. She was like that now; she wouldn't leave even if someone pointed a gun at her. The environment here was fantastic, with no infighting and no need to deal with complex interpersonal relationships.
In the end, Valerie was still persuaded to sign the contract. She had already boarded the pirate ship, the kind you can't get off.
After signing the contract, Valerie seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. After a moment of thought, she said, "Boss, I saw you were previously replicating some amoxicillin and cold medicine. Actually, it doesn't need to be so complicated. We had a study before that could reduce some ingredients and, by adding Gandhi Grass, the cost would decrease, and the effect would be even better."

The instrument began to operate automatically, mixing according to the formula just provided, and a tablet was obtained after five minutes. Eddie took the tablet for testing, and the effect was indeed very good, increasing by about five percent, and the cost decreased by twenty percent.
"Very good. Next, you will take over my position. My pharmaceutical company currently only has two drugs supporting it. The number of patients with these diseases is limited, and we need to explore other businesses. You will be responsible for developing new drugs according to my plan. I will provide you with the formulas for the previous two drugs." Eddie handed over the relatively core information without hesitation.
"Ah! Won't this be too sudden?" Valerie was a little startled.
"No, if you have the ability, do more. I'm very busy and don't have time for these things. Here, you don't need to deal with other annoying matters; you just need to give orders, and someone will naturally do it." Eddie smiled. Isn't it great to be able to throw a heavy task to someone else?
Arriving in the bedroom, Jill was looking at real estate information. "Wife, I need to go out for a bit. You're in charge here. If anything happens, call me anytime."
"So sudden? Oh, by the way, dear. What do you think of East Africa? It's close to Europe, the land is cheap, and the climate is very good." Jill said, pointing to the map.
"This place is good enough for a laboratory for now. Let's make do. Actually, my idea is to buy a large island in the center of the Caspian Sea to be our home." Eddie pointed to the Caspian Sea.
It was an inland sea, not connected to the traditional ocean. It was surrounded by land, with only a few rivers, and its area was too vast, so it was called a sea.
It had a unique marine ecosystem, and the climate was comfortable, making it the best place to live. Moreover, the surrounding beaches always had many bikini beauties, which was very attractive to men.
Jill followed her husband's gaze and gave a brilliant smile. "Let's buy a place in East Africa for now. It's very cheap there, and convenient for experiments and such. It's safer than in the Federation, and there's less surveillance from many people."
It must be said that Jill was truly virtuous. Besides being stunningly beautiful, she was also intelligent and knew how to devise the best plan for her man. She wouldn't be like other women who needed a lot of money for cosmetics and luxury goods. Marrying Jill was a very blessed thing.
"Wife, thank you, it's so good to have you." Eddie praised her sincerely.
"Husband, I only feel happy with you. Now I really want to give birth to our baby and go into battle with you." Jill said with some longing. She also longed for battle, but she was pregnant now and couldn't be a warrior.
During this time, neither Spencer nor Simmons bothered Eddie. They were all enjoying the fruits of their victory, digesting them, and converting them into strength.
Umbrella's predicament was within Spencer's expectations. From the beginning, he had never thought of rebuilding the company. What he wanted to do was to kick out unrelated people and take sole control of the company.
Although Umbrella was currently embroiled in lawsuits and its image had plummeted, this fit the image of a biochemical weapon vendor, throwing out some by-products from the immortality plan to sell for money, which then flowed back to him to continue experiments.
Compared to previous profits, current profits were greater, at least without having to share with other shareholders.
Sergei also had no time to deal with his enemies, Wesker and Eddie. He was fully engaged in building Umbrella's Caucasus Branch research facility and upgrading its design to minimize the risk of bio-viral leaks.
All of Nemesis's combat data from the battle at Raccoon City's Waste Disposal Plant was collected by Sergei. And due to Jill's absence, she never encountered Nemesis. This menace was taken over by the Federal Guard and fought Thanatos Tyrant to a near mutual destruction.
Nemesis was also recovered to the Caucasus Branch and did not return to the French Branch, where there were still three untrained Nemesis, enough for them to use.
Sergei's idea was to create the super Tyrant Talos, capable of resisting modern weapons! Unfortunately, because of that shameless dog Eddie, who stole the supercomputer Red Queen, he had to gather personnel to design and program computers, which invisibly wasted a lot of energy and time, leaving him no time to deal with Eddie.
Eddie had already boarded a private jet flying to the Middle East, operating under the name of the Federal Bio-Terrorism Countermeasure Committee; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to carry heavy weaponry.
On his phone, there was still a text message from Rachel, detailing the Federal Bio-Terrorism Countermeasure Committee's action plan and route.
"Interesting, someone is selling biochemical weapons so soon?" Eddie looked out the window, just not knowing who it was. This was a pandora's box; whoever used it would know.
On the plane, besides the Wolf Team trio, there was also Claire. Her relief organization would arrive at the scene as soon as possible to treat those affected by the attack, primarily civilians.
Moira also came along. Her main responsibility was to protect Claire's safety and act as Claire's assistant. She seemed to get along particularly well with Claire, almost like sisters.
This time, Eddie's assistant was changed to Cindy, the bar waitress. The sweet-faced Cindy was very suitable to be a secretary.
After arriving in the Middle East, subsequent relief supplies also arrived one after another. Claire was leading people to clear and understand the local situation. After a phone call with her brother Chris, Claire chose to stay and help Eddie work.
Although Chris did not approve of Claire helping Eddie work, he always felt that Eddie, that bastard, would do something bad to Claire.
A white-haired British gentleman walked over. It was Dawn, the researcher who had worked at Umbrella and fled Raccoon City before the crisis erupted. "Dr. Eddie, a pleasure to meet you, it's truly a pleasure to see you here. We are about to test the effectiveness of the vaccine, to see if it can immunize against viral invasion after being vaccinated beforehand."
Currently, WilPharma Corporation does not research biochemical weapons; it only researches vaccines for related viruses. They choose to earn medical fees rather than profit from biochemical weapons.

Chapter 282: Idonia Sterilization Operation
"Testing vaccines? Don't you already have a vaccine?" Eddie raised an eyebrow. Most vaccines have various side effects. Only Dr. George's Daylight Vaccine was quite good, but he didn't know why it wasn't mass-produced. Was there a dirty deal involved?
Dawn made a shushing gesture. "WilPharma is a legitimate pharmaceutical company and does not engage in the production of biochemical weapons. We are responsible for researching corresponding vaccines. Viruses are constantly changing, and vaccines are not static."
"I know that. You go play by yourself; I don't have time to brag with you." Eddie waved his hand. He couldn't be bothered with this petty person.
Just then, General Morgan abruptly called. "Eddie, are you in Idonia? According to intelligence, an Umbrella branch sold biochemical weapons to the armed rebels in that region, including various failed experimental products. Please assist Rachel and her team!"
"What's in it for me?" Eddie raised an eyebrow.
"I will integrate your fighter jets into the Federal Bio-Terrorism Countermeasure Committee's roster. You will be able to fly anywhere in the Federation without hindrance." General Morgan intended to get something for nothing.
"This deal is a huge loss for me, that won't do. Tell the person in charge here that I will establish a factory here to help them restore their economy, but I must be given the greatest concessions." Eddie proposed a not-so-excessive condition.
"Alright, deal. Hurry up and meet them. This mission is very important." General Morgan thought for a moment before agreeing. He had no interest in money.
Eddie and Claire parted ways in the town. Claire went to handle the supplies, while Eddie went to meet Rachel. It seemed Rachel had been promoted, from agent to team leader.
Arriving at the Federal Bio-Terrorism Countermeasure Committee's base, the military camp here was like that of a regular army, but unlike a regular army, they were responsible for dealing with non-human organisms, i.e., monsters.
Rachel's appearance hadn't changed: wavy, flowing hair, bangs covering her eyes, though how she saw things was a mystery. She was a graceful and impressive female agent.
"Welcome, Dr. Eddie. You have some experience dealing with biochemical weapons, and I'm very happy to cooperate with you." Rachel gave him a hug.
"Thank you, I'm just here to watch, you all are the main force. No matter what creature it is, just remember one thing: aim for the head. No creature can live without its head, even a cockroach will die!" Eddie simply explained his experience.
Present were a pink-haired woman in military uniform and a middle-aged man with thinning hair.
"This is Jessica Sherawat, our elite sniper. This is Parker, our assault specialist, agile and previously served in the Marine Corps' special squad. They are also the deputy commanders for this operation, please get acquainted." Rachel gave a brief introduction.
"Jessica?" Eddie's expression was a bit strange.
"What?" Sherawat blinked, looking puzzled.
