Resident Evil: Eddie [EN]

After Katherin left, Eddie approached Benjamin while taking out a bank check. "Here's the check; your acting is terrific."

Benjamin reached for the check; he scrutinized the paper, ensuring it was genuine. After confirming that the check was the real deal, he immediately handed over the camera he had previously promised."

I hope you're not trying to trick me.

Benjamin said in a severe tone.

No one would have thought that the two of them had made a dirty deal together! All the skits they had done before had tricked the beautiful girl named Katherine.

Eddie, a handsome man who seemed honest and kind, turned out to be quite the shameless man.

Well... To be honest, the claim about 'An honest and kind man' has some truth in it; after all, he's not a murderous psychotic. Of course, he won't help everyone, but if he can, and the person deserves to be supported, why not? Sometimes you need to increase your good karma, don't you think?

After all, he was able to toy with Spencer and Umbrella with this attitude. Otherwise, how could he have survived this long without being suspected by the elites?

***

Benjamin had confirmed the check's authenticity, after which he cashed all the money.

"You look like you really want this camera. Is there a video where you kill someone?" Benjamin asked with a joking expression; his mood had skyrocketed after cashing out the money he just got.

But he is also a little suspicious; what exactly is in this camera?

"I don't know; I don't want to find out myself either. I'm just doing my job; if there's an 'unpleasant' file in it, that's the person's business, not me."

"You'd better leave quickly." Eddie waved his hand, ready to leave his current location.

But he was stopped by Benjamin's scream. "Hold on… Please treat Katherine well."

"She is a sweet girl; I don't want you to hurt her."

"Heh... As if you respect her, if you really care, then you won't agree with my previous proposal."

Eddie said sarcastically.

On the other hand, Benjamin just snorted; he looked proud of his decision.

"Compared to love, I think money is more important and also smells better!"

After that, Benjamin left, waving his hand.

Eddie arrived at a building where Michael Warren is currently; he entered the building while heading towards Michael's office.

"This... The thing you asked for."

Eddie handed Michael the camera he wanted. On the other hand, Eddie gets what Michael had promised, which is a new helicopter!

The helicopter was placed on top of an abandoned factory.

Having a helicopter is a good thing, especially during an outbreak. With this, Eddie's percentage in survival will increase drastically!

Moreover, flying by helicopter is the second safest way besides using the exclusive underground subway.

***

Back in the underground laboratory, the temperature in this lab is still the same; it's cold.

Eddie went into his private room then turned off the door access. Only the people he trusts can open.

"In the thirty-eighth trial, the desired enhancing effect of the serum failed. The reason for the failure was because the poison was too strong, the cells in the body were unable to adapt, and finally, the test object died."

Eddie looked through the microscope. As soon as he closed the microscope, all this trial and error was exhausting him, both body and soul.

Eddie was starting to feel dizzy from working for more than ten hours.

*Ding!*

A familiar voice sounded, the automatic door to his room suddenly opened.

From there came a familiar sound of footsteps, it turned out that the person was Annette Birkin, she came in with a cup of coffee and a sweet doughnut. "If you're tired, it's better to rest. Pushing yourself too much is not good for your health, don't be like my husband; he looks like a lunatic while researching... Just like you."

Annette's sweet voice entered Eddie's ears like a beautiful melody.

Eddie shook his head: "Of course not; I'm not as extreme as Dr. William; I want to stay healthy anyway. Mental and physical health is more important than this project." He said as he reached for the coffee that Annette had served him. He felt fresher after sipping the coffee.

'Health first, project second. If I get sick, how will I finish this project?' Eddie muttered to himself.

"Glad you understand. By the way, what are you researching? A new biological weapon?" Annette asked in a relaxed tone; she came here just to 'make sure' what Eddie was doing; she didn't want another accident to happen.

"Biological weapons? Of course not; I'm currently working on perfecting the serum I'm working."

"It's tough; out of hundreds of thousands of trials, only Sergei was able to withstand the side effects of the serum." Eddie's brow furrowed.

"You are right. Even here, we only have two experimental objects that can be called 'successful'; those two objects are none other than no.0 and no.2."

Annette nodded her head.

"Two test objects? You're talking about the Tyrant project, right? Ivan Tyrant? Or the latest Tyrant model?" Eddie asked, blinking a few times.

"That's not exactly true. They are not the newest Tyrant model; so far, there are only four like them. Do you know why?" Annette even asked back. Her eyebrows lifted slightly.

Eddie started to think; after a while, he looked at Annette and replied: "Because the treatment costs are too high, Am I right? Even Umbrella can't afford their treatment."

Annette smiled sweetly. "Right, the maintenance costs are too high; this is a problem that has existed since the start of the Tyrant Project."

"As for the data on this model, I don't want to divulge it. The special serum used in the Tyrant project will increase the body's metabolism drastically; this requires certain drugs to relieve it."

"So far, only Sergei doesn't need that kind of special treatment."
