Eddie picked up the coffee, his eyes scanning Katherine, who was humming a tune. "Is there something you need? Just say it directly, don't beat around the bush."
Katherine smiled. "My father went to Europe on a business trip. He's responsible for contacting the Federation of Pharmaceutical Companies to put pressure on Umbrella. He called and said he wanted to talk to you; he knows I'm working with you."
"Did he tell you to go back?" Eddie asked, puzzled.
Katherine shook her head. "No, and I won't leave you. He needs help, and even though he's not my biological father, he raised me for many years. I need to repay him. Eddie, I won't leave you, so can you help me go and see him? If the request is too much, then don't agree to it."
"Alright, I'll go and see him. But when I come back, I'll be collecting interest. Are you ready?" Eddie grinned mischievously. He never helped anyone for free, not even Ada.
"I'll give you benefits now if you want." Katherine smiled, a hint of playfulness flashing across her pretty face.
Ding-dong, a sound rang out. The solution in the freezing chamber was completely drained, and the hatch opened. A elegant foot stepped out, and Jessica's figure reappeared.
This time, Jessica's height had shrunk considerably from two meters, becoming one point eight meters, still quite rare among women's heights. Her hair was dazzling gold, and her eyes had a very rare double pupil, sparkling like gems.
"Eddie?" Jessica's voice was a little hoarse.
"I'm here! How do you feel? Have something to eat. Katherine, I'll trouble you to get some food." Eddie instructed. Katherine nodded and quickly turned to leave. She was happy to help and willing to do anything for Eddie.
Jessica was a little disoriented, but when she saw Eddie, she still smiled. "It's good to see you."
"Silly girl, I'm not going anywhere. I'm fine, and you'll be fine too." Eddie smiled, handing her a plate of donuts. "Eat something first. Once you're full, we'll have plenty of time. I also need to go to Europe soon, and you can come with me then."
"No one will harm you, I promise!" Jessica's eyes were very firm. Every time she woke from her slumber, she could feel her body recovering well. She hadn't suffered any inhumane abuse from experiments, proving that this man was truly helping her wholeheartedly. Why wouldn't she repay him generously?
Jessica's appetite was astonishing. Fortunately, the cruise ship was very large, with over a quarter of its space used to store various foods.
Every woman on the ship ate a lot and needed a large amount of food to ensure they wouldn't go hungry. They wouldn't starve to death, but they would feel very uncomfortable, so Jill decided to use a quarter of the space to store food.
Chapter 318: Jessica's Special Evolution
After Lisa emerged from the freezing chamber, she smiled at Eddie, clearly remembering him. But her first action was to go and hug her mother. "Mom, it's so good to see you. Lisa also persevered today to see Mom."
Jessica helped her daughter tidy her hair. "Mom knows. Are you hungry? Let's go eat. After we eat, we'll have to work. While we were resting, Eddie encountered a lot of trouble. This is our negligence, and it's not right."
"I'll work hard, Mom." Lisa also nodded seriously. Her height had decreased from two point two meters to one point eight meters, becoming more robust, even more muscular than a fitness model. Her snow-white hair had turned golden, and her youthful face looked a little strange compared to before.
Katherine pushed in a shopping cart full of cooked food, already prepared and only needing to be heated.
"If it's the Veronica Virus, perhaps we can use blood combustion to achieve a heating effect, though it feels a bit like self-harm," Eddie mused, looking at the refrigerated food.
In fact, the true power of the Veronica Virus was its ability to control others, especially plants. A single whip from a vine could take down even a Tyrant.
Lisa, however, suddenly extended her right hand, her palm splitting open. A tentacle lifted the shopping cart. The cart, weighing nearly eight hundred pounds with the food, caused her no strain at all.
A faint screeching sound came, mainly directed at the refrigerated food. In the next second, the cold food began to be heated by sound waves, and in less than twenty seconds, it became steaming hot, emitting the aroma of a hamburger.
Lisa took a deep breath and picked up Eddie's coffee cup to rehydrate. "We can eat now, Mom." After speaking, the tentacle retracted into her palm, and when she turned her hand over, there wasn't a single crack visible, which was quite unbelievable.
Christine and Michaela Schneider blinked. What was going on? Even Annette, who had just woken up for work, was stunned.
"Is that ultrasound?" Eddie was a bit bewildered.
"It should be. Lisa's control is quite good. Using sound waves to heat food without shattering it is very rare. Husband, you've hit the jackpot. With Lisa as your bodyguard, you'll have a lot less trouble," Annette said with a smile. Jealousy? No need, she's just a bodyguard.
Lisa's expression was calm, only occasionally smiling at Eddie, entirely out of respect for her mother. As for the other women, she merely nodded faintly, remaining as cold as ever.
At least this much already satisfied Annette. Previously, William had conducted many experiments on Lisa. Umbrella's newly developed viral reagents were all injected into Lisa to observe their effects.
Lisa not tearing Annette to shreds was already a huge show of respect, even though Annette had never met Lisa. Her research work, to varying degrees, had some impact on Lisa.
"Whether we profit or not isn't important, as long as everyone is safe. Once we're full, we'll start testing to see if there are any abnormalities." No sooner had Eddie finished speaking than he saw nearly seven hundred pounds of food devoured by the two women!
He had only turned his head for a moment and saw Jessica and Lisa already cleaning up with tissues. That was incredibly fast.
"There's no need to waste time, we can start directly." Lisa finished speaking and went to the monitoring room for strength and speed training, as well as various physical tests to check for any defects.
Jessica and Lisa's examination reports came out quickly. With the Red Queen supercomputer's calculations, the monitoring data was neatly categorized.
Lisa's strength could reach an astonishing thirty tons; if she unleashed her maximum weight, it would be unknown. After the Alpha Parasite was absorbed by Lisa, it enhanced her intelligence, and the extended tentacle characteristic was also absorbed. This is why Lisa could use tentacles, and her body had no excess fat.
Every muscle had been reorganized, and her special physique absorbed and fused all viruses, thereby enhancing her overall physical capabilities. Another point was her firm willpower; she wanted to maintain her sanity and survive to see her mother.
The characteristic of ultrasound was brought by the G-Virus, as were the double pupils. The eyeballs were concentrated in the eye area. Lisa didn't want to become a monster, and her willpower indeed mutated the virus. Viruses don't have sanity; they can be driven by willpower.
Her special physique, strong willpower, coupled with Eddie's special care, contributed to Lisa's unique evolutionary process.
This evolution is difficult to replicate but can serve as a reference for collecting insights.
Compared to her daughter, Lisa, Jessica lacked the tentacle attack, a characteristic only found in the Alpha Parasite. During her dormant transformation, some G-Virus was also incorporated.
Jessica's willpower was not weak; she wanted to become a perfect woman, a powerful woman, to protect the man who awakened her. Driven by willpower, even the violent T-Virus and G-Virus could not erode her consciousness; they were suppressed by her strong willpower.
The physique enhanced by the Progenitor Virus also gave Jessica the capital to contend with the two viruses. With both working in tandem, she succeeded! She successfully repaired the previously unstable features, and for now, no negative aspects have been found.
"Perhaps in the future, we can use your ultrasound for reconnaissance; it's truly impossible to guard against. Quite interesting. You two go get some sun. The most important result is that you can walk in the sun. I still have research to do." Eddie waved his hand, telling the two women to rest.
Jessica and Lisa exchanged glances. They walked out of the laboratory together and onto the deck. Daylight poured down, shining on the two women.
Jessica felt like crying; she had finally been reborn, and the waiting period had been incredibly long.
"Mom, are you crying?" Lisa asked, tilting her head.
"Yes, Lisa. We can walk in the Daylight, and we've regained our memories. Mom will take good care of you from now on, and Mom needs your help to wholeheartedly protect Eddie. Can you do that?" Jessica cried tears of joy.
"Of course! With me here, no one will harm Mom and Eddie. I remember everything, and I hate Umbrella. I want to destroy it!" A hint of hatred flashed in Lisa's beautiful eyes.
"Eddie will do it. All we need to do is ensure his safety." Jessica smiled blissfully.
Chapter 319: Caroline's Betrayal
This matter concerned everyone's interests, and even Jill would occasionally come to check. No woman would refuse such a temptation: eternal youth. Perhaps only those who truly understood life would dislike these four words, but alas, Jill chose to be a bit more worldly, not living life too profoundly.
Europe, the location of the Federation of Pharmaceutical Companies. Although this was Tricell's headquarters, various pharmaceutical companies also established important branches here.
Warren was dispatched this time to try and persuade the Federation of Pharmaceutical Companies to testify in court for the Western Federation. If he could complete this mission, he could restart his career; if not, he would be demoted to cleaning toilets.
Spencer no longer needed a wheelchair to walk. After using the serum, he felt better than ever before. All of this proved that his ideas were correct. This was the first step towards a new era of humanity!
Having tasted success, Spencer poured resources into Alex's research project, as Alex's help was the greatest to him. Sergei, that brute, was only responsible for making money; he wasn't truly worthy of the immortality project.
Alex was not surprised; she knew that once successful, she would receive massive investment. She cleverly left a back door: every month, Spencer would need to take a special serum, otherwise, the serum's effects would disappear, he would become a cripple again, and continue to atrophy.
This forced Spencer to allow Alex to continue developing new serums to enhance his physique and no longer monitor her. Alex had already earned his trust through her actions, and minor issues like her tone were completely acceptable.
