After the terms were agreed upon, the two went to the apron to help Christine, Claire, and others kill the artificial human army, eliminating these sinful products.
After getting on the plane, Eddie's condition began to become unstable, and his eyes were a little dazed. He couldn't go all out; he still needed to reserve some energy to maintain the balance between his cells and the virus.
Much of the two had already begun to merge, but it still needed time. Going all out meant that side effects would appear, which was bad news.
Ada just glanced at him and said indifferently, "Go north, we're returning to the yacht. What's your name?"
"My name is Ark," said the man flying the plane.
"It doesn't matter what your name is. Take us to the yacht, then you can fly back to Europe yourselves. The fuel tank is full, enough for you to return." After Ada finished speaking, she carried Eddie and slid down from the helicopter, landing in the yacht, and helped Eddie go for special treatment.
Christine acted as the captain, steering the yacht towards the small island in the north. Behind them, Sheena Island began to experience fire deflagrations, and a series of explosions started to rise.
Chapter 316: Ada Settles Scores After the Fall
The speedboat quickly returned to the yacht on the small island. Ada carried Eddie on her shoulder and leaped onto the yacht; she needed to treat Eddie.
Three hours later, Eddie woke up and found himself on the cruise ship. He had a headache, but felt pretty good; his memory was still a bit confused.
The door opened, and Annette walked in wearing high heels and holding a tablet computer. "How do you feel?"
"A little sleepy, otherwise fine." Eddie shook his head to clear his mind, then went to find something to eat. He found that someone had thoughtfully prepared a large amount of food. Who could it be?
Annette nodded. "It seems I was right. A certain mysterious substance that stimulates brain excitement is an important means to combat viral invasion. Keeping the brain excited and conscious is crucial for fighting the virus. You need to thank Moira and the others; without them, you probably would have turned into a monster."
"Where are they? Are they okay?" Eddie nodded, agreeing that he should indeed thank them. Otherwise, he would still be drifting at sea, with no idea where his next stop would be.
"They're very tired and need to rest. Come with me for a full body check-up. Really, if you don't have the ability, don't try to act tough. If you try to show off and end up looking like an idiot, that would truly be hilarious." Annette snorted, clearly very displeased with the man's actions this time.
During this time, Jill came to look, smiled without speaking, and after confirming the man was safe, she left. It was as if she needed to see him to be at ease.
From Jill's furrowed brow, it was clear she was displeased with Eddie's actions this time. At the same time, she was also curious about what had happened on Sheena Island that required such a powerful force to be unleashed in resistance.
In the laboratory, Jessica and Lisa's repair and modification were not yet complete. Both women were in cryogenic chambers, appearing intact on the surface. In fact, due to metabolism, they had already shed a lot of dead skin and certain accumulated substances, a process of rebirth.
Annette examined Eddie and found no significant difference, only some surprising data. "Strange, you seem to have become more harmonious with the virus. What's going on? Tell me everything that happened on Sheena Island; this will be very helpful for our research."
Eddie began to recount his experiences, and as he spoke, the laboratory door opened. Michaela Schneider walked in carrying coffee and donuts, and even winked at the man.
Emma and Katherine also walked in, there to hear the weapon usage report. The former mayor's daughter, Katherine, chose not to return to her father, who was serving in The Pentagon, but instead stayed on the cruise ship to research weapon design with Emma and assist her.
"You mentioned Hypnos-T Type? I've heard of that project. Let me check the data first. It was just a concept before, using the principle of mutual gene Devour to select the strongest gene, then modifying it with the T-Virus."
"This design is ridiculous, without scientific basis. Now it seems to have succeeded, so there must be a reason for it." Annette checked the data, frowning after seeing the experimental results.
While Annette was reviewing the data, Emma circled Eddie once. "You look stronger, more formidable. Not bad, not bad. It seems you've taken another step closer to your dream."
"Thank you. What I can get, you can get too." Eddie didn't hide anything; effort and reward are equivalent, and hiding things would be unfair to these women.
"I was just being polite! I don't care about your experiments! Just stay alive, otherwise, no one will provide me with funds and materials for weapon design. How was using my electromagnetic sniper rifle? Come to my engineering department and tell me all about it." Emma pulled Eddie towards her office.
Three hours later, Eddie, who had submitted the data to Emma, returned to the laboratory. Annette had already gone back to rest; during off-hours, she never stayed in the lab, but rather in her bedroom, chatting with her precious daughter Shirley and helping her with homework.
Only Michaela Schneider was there alone, and Christine appeared only when Eddie arrived.
"Eddie, you've come at just the right time. The current results indicate one thing: you need to fight more, preferably when Lisa and Jessica are with you, and fight with all your might." Michaela Schneider sat in the chair, turned around, and crossed her arms, exuding the aura of an intelligent older sister.
"Going all out, is this about forcing out your potential?" Eddie mused thoughtfully.
"Yes, by exhausting all your strength each time, coupled with specific treatment, you can merge with the virus faster and reduce the occurrence of side effects. Currently, we don't know if this method can be applied to us, and we cannot conduct a second experiment yet; I don't have much theoretical data either," Michaela Schneider shrugged.
Christine still seemed a little tired; she had been driving the boat and assisting with treatment earlier, multitasking was very exhausting. "I think this theory is good, but it might only apply to you."
Tap, tap, tap. Ada arrived at the laboratory in high-heeled sandals. This time she was wearing high-heeled slippers, which looked quite refreshing, indicating she had brought all her luggage to the office.
"Michaela Schneider, I need a check-up, please." Ada said with a smile.
"No trouble at all, we're sisters." Michaela Schneider also smiled playfully, her smile containing a hint of inscrutable strangeness.
Ada's check-up results also came out quickly; her improvement was not significant, but the degree of fusion was very high. Fortunately, she assisted with the treatment and gained some experience, which accelerated her fusion.
"How long will it take for my condition to stabilize?" Eddie looked at his check-up report, which was a headache-inducing point.
"Probably a few days, or possibly a few months, we don't know. You'd best take Jessica and Lisa with you; with their protection, even if you pass out, they can get you out safely." Michaela Schneider's expression was very serious; she didn't want to change employers, as the working atmosphere here was very good, and all her needs could be met.
Ada put on her high-heeled sandals. "I'll be out for a while, don't worry about me, I'll be back soon. I'm going to settle scores with those bastards at Shén Yà Pharmaceutical. I, Ada, am not someone to be trifled with." She was clearly referring to the scheme on Sheena Island.
Chapter 317: Svetlana's Dine and Dash
Currently, suppressing the virus relies entirely on abundant physical strength and willpower. If you don't want to turn into a monster, it's best to seek Eddie's help.
"I'm here. What do I need to do? Help me fuse the virus. What you need can be owed for now, I don't have any money." Svetlana found Eddie and very calmly spoke of owing money.
"This is the first time I've heard someone so self-righteously ask for credit," Eddie said, somewhat speechless. Didn't this woman know what politeness was?
"When I finish my business, I will repay you, with the rest of my life." Svetlana said indifferently, without shyness, as if it was all a transaction, very normal. Only her accelerated heartbeat betrayed her; her heart was clearly not as calm as her exterior suggested.
"Alright, I already knew. Follow this plan, then tidy up your room. I'll come back to find you." Eddie sent her the form.
Svetlana opened her phone: exercise, running, and combat training. This seemed very normal, just exhausting physical strength and then undergoing treatment. Only the last item was special, so she looked up at the man, "Are you serious?"
"Of course, I've experienced it myself, you won't lose out. It's the real deal. Do you still want to get stronger? Just do it, I still have experiments to do." Eddie yawned, he had been very busy and tired lately.
"Heh heh, watch yourself. Eat some kidney to replenish your energy." Svetlana teased, then put away her phone and left the laboratory.
After a week of freeloading, Svetlana also took some weapons from Emma, then left gracefully. Everything she spent was consuming the future, buying with the future.
"Her expenses this time will require her to work for you for fifty years to pay off. Do you think it's worth it?" Jill stood on the deck, smiling. At this point, she was clearly pregnant.
"About that, a hundred years would be a profit. We're not just talking about living a hundred years; we can live a thousand." Eddie said confidently. His goal was simple: to live long enough and live freely enough.
"Wouldn't that make us old monsters? By then, we'll be old and faded, and you won't care about us anymore." Jill said with a playful smile, clearly hinting at something.
"Don't worry, you'll stay forever young, I promise. Besides, I don't just like your looks; I also like how gentle and virtuous you are, and how you know how to take care of me." Eddie chuckled, flattering his wife. A harmonious family brings prosperity, after all.
"Alright, you really are something, saying such annoying things. Go do your work. I also need to see how our new home is coming along; there's so much to do." Jill waved her hand. She was the lady of the house, responsible for overseeing all house construction, and she was very busy.
Back in the laboratory, Eddie was humming a tune, researching the secondary evolution for Jill and the others, using a vaccine to destroy most of the G-Virus's toxicity, leaving only a weak trace of the virus.
For a virus that humans can adapt to, perfect fusion requires three months. Otherwise, it needs a three-day freezing period, using rapid metabolism coupled with maintaining brain excitement to maintain cellular balance, and slowly fusing with the virus.
If some of Lisa's blood and cells were added, perhaps the effect would be even better. Everything had to wait until Lisa's repair was complete; for now, it was just theory.
The laboratory door opened, and Katherine, wearing a casual short skirt and high-heeled sandals, walked in, carrying a cup of coffee. "You've worked hard, have some coffee to refresh yourself."
