"I need you to be my eyes and gather intelligence for me. I'll provide you with the appropriate equipment and treatment. Caroline will tell you the detailed terms. You must have many questions for her, so you can go over there and chat for a while. I'll be staying here for a while longer. My requirement is simple: loyalty!" Eddie said with a smile, handing over a contract.
The contract explicitly stated that Sienna would work for him for one hundred years—an incredibly exaggerated period, even more excessive than Christine's contract.
Sienna, however, wasn't surprised. Having been a spy for so long, she had seen all sorts of things. She waved the contract in her hand and said, "This hundred years of yours truly does surprise me. I've practically sold myself."
"You can't say that. You're still making a profit," Eddie replied with a smile.
Caroline took Sienna aside to demonstrate her capabilities, while Christine, who remained, wore an amused expression. Her own fifty-year contract was already outrageous; she hadn't expected Sienna's contract to be a hundred years!
Excella always maintained a smiling demeanor. She wouldn't offer any suggestions. For such matters, it was best to turn a blind eye. Men, after all, always had these vulgar interests; it was best to ignore them.
Eddie turned his head to look at the offshore city in the distance, Terragrigia. He wondered if its fate would still be to become a casualty of Morgan's power struggle. As for the T-Abyss Virus, he truly didn't have many thoughts about it; that thing was the worst virus ever.
It was purely a virus developed for the creation of biological weapons, unlike the previous research philosophy of enhancing the human body. Even if it could successfully merge, it would only turn into a monster. A monster that retained its sanity wasn't necessarily that strong.
Therefore, Eddie scoffed at anything related to t-abyss. It couldn't even compare to the most basic T-Virus. It had no reference value whatsoever; useless things were simply trash.
The effects of the parasites weren't great, and t-abyss was no good either. Only a portion of T-Phobos controlled by Alex and the Pupa Virus controlled by Carla were somewhat promising.
However, even with their genius intellects, both of them would need more than five years of development time. In the recent period, only the T+G Virus could be anticipated.
"What are you thinking about?" Christine ran her fingers through her long, golden hair, which was not tied in a ponytail but cascaded over her shoulders, exuding a unique, alluring charm.
"I'm just thinking about what to do next. I should probably go back and do some research first." Eddie yawned. This period had been exhausting, so busy every day. Fortunately, he had been enhanced, otherwise he would definitely be suffering from kidney deficiency.
After circling the Mediterranean a few times, Eddie, along with Sienna, Caroline, and the other women, returned to Goddess Island. The important instruments from the ocean liner had all been moved to the island, allowing for easy enhancements there.
Back in the laboratory, the first thing Eddie observed was a Tyrant used for experiments. A Tyrant created from Sergei's clone was then mixed with an improved T+G Virus, suitable for combining with the Tyrant's original T-Virus, bringing the dosage to a predetermined balance.
The Tyrant became even more ferocious, its muscles bulging, yet due to the low-temperature freezing, a slight electric current was generated and connected to a battery via conductive tubes.
The peak values of the current were not uniform; they were very unstable. The voltage climbed from human safety standards all the way up, reaching a maximum of two thousand volts.
The rapidly growing muscles seemed to form an organ for discharging electricity, and the generated current was the result of the interaction of these organs.
Alexia, wearing high heels, stood in the cryogenic chamber, her beautiful eyes flashing with surprise. "You actually succeeded!"
Eddie shook his head. "No, this isn't success. He's too ugly. What I want is to maintain a human form, and at the same time, this ability needs to be controlled so it doesn't harm others."
"Why not use the improved Veronica Virus as the main component? Fused with the Progenitor Virus, and perhaps with some of Lisa's blood, it should be achievable," Alexia said without hesitation.
Lisa, also in the laboratory, had a hint of coldness flash in her beautiful eyes. Only Eddie could do that to her; if anyone else treated her as experimental material, she would likely kill them first.
"I don't need Lisa's blood; she has already given it to me. The experiment is only a preliminary success, not yet perfect. It still needs further improvement, you could say. Don't provoke Lisa; she's very strong," Eddie warned.
Turning to walk to the computer, he continued to piece together virus fragments, while simultaneously calculating Alexia's suggestion. Her words made Eddie's eyes light up; this good method was indeed excellent.
It was just a question of whether the Veronica Virus would pose any danger; the results of mixing it in still needed further testing.
A month later, Sienna and Caroline completed their enhancements. After receiving their mission, they went to investigate Umbrella's last stronghold, a laboratory located in the Caucasus region.
Their task was to find that place, then spread the news, allowing Spencer, that old scumbag, to be hunted down by his enemies. Killing with a borrowed knife; sometimes it's that simple.
Chapter 396: Another Enhancement, a Qualitative Change in the Experiment
Mysterious Pharmaceutical now officially monopolized the cheap welfare drugs in Eastern Europe, some auxiliary medicines that were frequently needed. At the same time, it maintained its leading position in online sales. This part was previously handled by Excella, but now Christine was in charge.
On Goddess Island, Eddie put down his experiment, leaned against the wall, smoking a cigarette, his expression a mix of anticipation and excitement.
Alexia, accompanying him, said, "Are you that anxious? Jill can't be compared to those weak women. It's just giving birth, what's there to be nervous about?"
"I'm just anticipating it. Creating a new life is inherently something to anticipate and be excited about. You'll experience it someday too. Jill is just setting an example for you," Eddie said with a mischievous smile.
Alexia rolled her eyes, looking very playful. She was much gentler than she had been in Antarctica, and more like a normal person, rather than a woman with extremely low emotional intelligence. "Don't even think about it. I won't bear your child, hmph. Cut off your dirty thoughts, mortal. I am a queen."
"Yes, yes, yes, you'll change your mind sooner or later," Eddie nodded, his expression very perfunctory.
This made Alexia a little annoyed. Really, she was losing her queenly dignity more and more. Along with the annoyance, there was also a hint of fear and anticipation; this was a love she had never experienced.
Love could make women dumber, which was not conducive to her performance.
Soon, a loud baby's cry broke the conversation between them. Jill's daughter was born; the little one's voice seemed especially loud.
"You can come in now," Cindy said sweetly, her beautiful eyes also holding a hint of anticipation, because in eight months, her daughter would also be born. This was her and Eddie's daughter, and she was very much looking forward to it.
Jill was still a bit weak, but in good spirits, thanks to the virus enhancement. Her delivery was very smooth, and her recovery was also very quick.
The little one was still being processed; she was indeed a bit dirty right after birth and needed to be cleaned.
Five minutes later, Annette came out holding the little one. She was wrinkled, and after crying, she seemed to have fallen asleep, with a slight snore.
Jill took the child, her beautiful eyes filled with a happy smile. After so long, she had finally given birth to her child.
"Husband, have you thought of a name for the baby?" Jill tilted her head, playfully teasing her daughter from time to time. Although she hadn't been able to give her husband a son, a daughter was also good. Daughters and sons were both her children, loved equally.
"Kailie, how about it!" Eddie thought for a moment and offered a rather pleasant-sounding name.
Jill nodded. "Okay, then Kailie it is." Then she lowered her head and said, "Kailie, your task from now on is to grow up happily, okay?"
The little one seemed to sense her mother's words and mumbled something adorably. This made everyone laugh and feel a touch of anticipation in their hearts.
Alexia's beautiful eyes, however, flickered a few times. It seemed that conceiving a new life was a very interesting and fun thing. However, she still needed to solve some problems before she could have children; she had to resolve the issue of her blood producing flames when mixed with air.
For the next half month, Eddie experienced what it was like to be a father. The experience wasn't great; he always had to coax the child, otherwise she would cry, and he also had to change diapers.
The TG mixed virus experiment had been perfectly resolved. In just four months, Eddie, along with Alexia and Annette, these top virologists, had created the evolutionary virus with electrical properties.
Standing in the cryogenic chamber, Alexia looked a little worried. "Are you sure you want to conduct the experiment yourself?"
"Only by experiencing it myself can I know the effect. Are you worried about me?" Eddie gently stroked her hair, and the atmosphere seemed to become a bit intimate.
Alexia shook her head. "No, I just don't want to lose the only friend in my life."
"Aren't Jill and the others your friends?" Eddie's tone was a bit teasing.
"You're different from them. Never mind, if you like it, go for it. You truly are a madman, just like me. No wonder you feel so familiar to me." Alexia waved her white-gloved hand. She had already decided that no matter what happened, she would ensure Eddie's safety.
This was the feeling of friendship. It turned out that having a friend was such a fortunate thing.
Although Jill, Annette, and the others were worried, they had no better solution. Their husband liked to take risks, and it was also for their sake. This risk was within a controllable range, and all they could do was offer their greatest support.
Lisa, however, suddenly stepped forward. "I'll accompany you. Put me and you together. If anything happens, I can still save you. Although I don't know what's special about me, maintaining my human identity is the limit of what I can do."
Jessica nodded. "Count me in. With my and Lisa's help, he can absorb it better."
The main thing was Lisa's and Jessica's blood; their blood was truly very useful, like a universal fusion agent.
