"Yes, speaking of which, we're from the same hometown. It's very dangerous here; it seems there was a research accident, and this place has become a zombie paradise. We should leave quickly," Eddie explained simply.
"No, I need to rescue my target. Have you seen Ms. Ye Minzhi from Shén Yà Pharmaceutical?" Fong Ling asked.
"Ms.? Isn't she unmarried?" Eddie asked, puzzled.
Fong Ling was a little speechless. Was this man really the rumored medical genius? Was this the time to dwell on that question? "Have you seen her?"
"No, I'm leaving first. It's not safe here." Eddie waved his hand, directly bypassing his fellow townsman. Fellow townsman meets fellow townsman, stabs him in the back.
Continuing forward, Eddie arrived at the room used for experimental research, where research data was stored. The computers here were not connected to the outside world, so it was impossible to steal data using the internet. The principle was similar to nuclear missile codes, constantly changing.
Oriana continued to operate the keyboard here. She was starting to believe Eddie. He was clearly ahead of his time. While everyone else was deeply mired in the quagmire of the virus, he had already begun to strengthen himself using the virus. Perhaps by following Eddie, she could also gain some good benefits, like maintaining her beautiful appearance?
Chapter 410: New Ability for One-Hit Kill
Looking at Oriana, the smoky-eyed beauty who had become more mature and alluring after development, Eddie had a question, "If you come with me, what about your brother?"
"Him? He's beyond saving. If he were normal, he wouldn't have thought of extorting the entire world. Even Umbrella, in its heyday, didn't dare to do that, but he actually did it. Sometimes being too far ahead is madness. Whom God wishes to destroy, He first makes mad," Oriana said, continuing to process the documents without looking back.
Seeming to sense the man's gaze, Oriana continued without looking back, "Perhaps you think I'm selfish, but everyone is an adult. Sometimes, once you understand a person, you'll know that futile efforts are useless. It's like seeing a family that doesn't filial their elders and thinking they're bad, but no one considers how hateful that elder might be."
Eddie nodded, "I believe you, and I've never doubted you. I once saw a lonely elder whose children didn't visit her. I thought it was the fault of the younger generation. Later, I found out that whenever this elder spoke, it was with all sorts of malicious curses, and she would only ever bully her own family."
"Such a person, who is fierce at home and cowardly outside, is not worth paying attention to, not worth caring about. Even with the bonds of kinship, what does it matter? This is a node for strengthening core relationships, not for wantonly consuming kinship. So I believe you!" Eddie continued.
After Oriana finished typing on the keyboard, the password on the computer was cracked, and the research data from this time began to be transferred to a special disk.
This data wasn't too valuable, but it still had reference value. Eddie's experiments went so smoothly, not only because his wives were intelligent, but also because he used this data as a reference, avoiding many detours.
"Thank you," Oriana said, her voice trembling slightly, her head bowed.
Eddie walked over and patted her shoulder, "Don't worry, since you've joined my team, we're family. Everyone has an untold past of sorrow. Pain won't make us despondent; instead, it will make us stronger."
These words made Alexia thoughtful. She had once intensely hated her father. Strictly speaking, she wasn't Alexander's daughter; she was merely created. If a person knew they were artificially created, they would certainly be extremely angry. Even Wesker was no exception to this; it was an unforgivable matter.
In the hall on the island, some of the regional representatives had already been killed, and Morpheus had received a large amount of ransom. He activated the missile silo button and launched the missiles. He had no intention of keeping his promise from the beginning; after getting the money, he immediately began to transfer it.
January quickly hacked Morpheus's accounts through network nodes. These were nominal users, and after several transfers, Wolf Team members hired people to withdraw the money from banks around the world.
They got the money as quickly as possible and blamed Morpheus.
The cunning Morpheus gave no chance; even January's sneak attack only hacked half of his funds. Out of a total of fifty billion US dollars, January hacked away half.
All the money flowed into companies under Simmons, and after creating false cashier receipts, the money was withdrawn.
The remaining funds were given to Christine to launder. This woman was very skilled at handling such matters; even professional regulatory commissions couldn't trace it.
After collecting the data, Eddie took Alexia and the others, preparing to leave the island. He had already gotten what he wanted: data and money. After getting the benefits, he was certainly going to escape, not stay here and wait for death.
Not long after leaving, he saw Agent Fong Ling and Ye Minzhi retreating while fighting. In front of them, two Hunters were sent flying.
A mass-produced Tyrant appeared. The difference from a normal Tyrant was that its fingers had already transformed into tentacles. Its face also looked like a failed plastic surgery, resulting in jagged protrusions. This experimental Tyrant, mixed with T+G Virus, was clearly a failure.
Even as a failed product, this Tyrant could still easily deal with most Hunters, capable of sending a one-ton Hunter flying with a single blow.
Many of Ye Minzhi's subordinates had already died at the hands of this Tyrant, otherwise they wouldn't have continued to flee. The entire island was surrounded by zombies, and prolonged fighting meant being surrounded by zombies. For ordinary people surrounded by zombies and a Tyrant, there was no other outcome than death.
"You go, I'll stay and deal with it. I have a small speedboat in the north; you two can leave. Here's the key." Fong Ling threw over the jet ski key.
Female Hank Aulemino took the key, "I will escort her to safety!"
Fong Ling used a grenade to blast the concrete on both sides, using the partial collapse to block the strange Tyrant.
However, it didn't last even ten seconds before the concrete was breached. The Tyrant reappeared and swatted Fong Ling away with a claw.
Just one blow almost made the female agent unable to stand. The Tyrant's strength was enough to kill a person with one punch. The fact that she didn't die already proved her toughness.
Fong Ling's consciousness gradually blurred. In her daze, she saw a man kneeling in front of her, seemingly checking her injuries. She tried to say something, but a pain in her wound made her pass out directly.
Alexia frowned. The Tentacle Tyrant roared and charged forward, its berserk nature making it want to tear apart everything in its sight.
Move! Alexia delivered a high kick, her high heel sending the Tentacle Tyrant flying. Then, with a wave of her hand, some secreted substances mixed with skin flakes and blood formed a fireball, setting the stunned Tyrant ablaze.
The burning Tyrant became even more berserk, lowering its head and running quickly, looking like a charging bull.
Alexia spread her elegant hand, and an electromagnetic barrier appeared. The Tentacle Tyrant that came into contact with the electromagnetic barrier was electrocuted into ashes by high-frequency currents. Combined with the flames burning on its body, it instantly turned to dust.
The high-intensity voltage even turned the sturdy bone parts into residue. Alexia disdainfully retracted her elegant hand, a sneer on her lips. Such low-level creatures were not worthy of her attention.
Chapter 411: Sorry, You're Mine
Just as they were about to enter the laboratory, two black-suited bodyguards escorted a representative from the Western Federation, who was running quickly. The representative was a fat-headed, oily-eared fellow, obviously treating it as a publicly funded trip, but he hadn't expected this trip to be so thrilling, thrilling enough to potentially cost him his life.
"Dr. Eddie! You, protect me! I am a Federation representative. There's been an accident here, and you must protect me," the oily, fat-eared fellow actually shouted first.
"Are you telling me what to do?" Eddie, carrying Fong Ling, raised an eyebrow, his tone a bit displeased.
"Useless, who do you think you are? For your medicine to be sold in the Federation, it needs my approval. Do you think you're so great? I am someone you cannot afford to offend. Do you know who my father is? The Federation's medical magnate!" The greasy fat man yelled continuously.
"Oh? Is that so? I don't believe it, unless you're a eunuch right now." Eddie's expression was incredibly playful. He wasn't a good person. It was one thing not to flatter him, but to provoke him? Did his face say 'easy to bully'?
"Bastard, I order you to protect me! And you dare to bring a female bodyguard? She's mine! You two, go and grab her," the greasy fat man, Wallace, yelled, a glint of astonishment flashing in his eyes as he looked at Alexia. Such a woman, an absolute stunner, how could she not belong to him?
"You really are an idiot. At a time like this, you can't even distinguish between primary and secondary matters. How pathetic, no wonder you're cannon fodder." Eddie shook his head. The next second, he directly kicked the two bodyguards away, then delivered two more kicks to Wallace's knees.
Crack, the sound of bones breaking rang out. Wallace fell to the ground, wailing continuously, "Ah, you damn bastard, ah… you dare to hurt me? I'm going to sue you, expect a lawyer's letter."
"Still quite energetic. See those zombies? They'll be very hungry. Anyway, you're just a waste alive, so why not go feed them?" Eddie's smile was incredibly cruel. In front of his wives, he was meek; when his wives weren't around, he was all action.
Wallace was so scared that he forgot the pain, soiling himself, "Please, please, save me, I don't want to die."
That ugly face, flipping back and forth between smugness and humble pleading, did he really think he was the protagonist of a novel?
"This is what happens when you covet my woman. Don't worry, if I get the chance, I'll take good care of your wife." Eddie sneered, then carried Fong Ling into the laboratory, leaving the crippled Wallace to fend for himself.
As the zombies approached, Wallace's heart-wrenching screams came, then abruptly ceased. It seemed he had been bitten to death.
Arriving in the laboratory, Eddie quickly typed on the keyboard, took some materials, and made a vaccine serum, which he injected into Fong Ling to suppress the virus's activity.
Fong Ling slowly woke up. Her agent training kept her from panicking, "Where am I?"
"You're still on Kazakhstan Island, Umbrella's Atlantic Ocean branch. I saved you, shouldn't you thank me?" Eddie grinned mischievously.
