Resident Evil: Eddie [EN]

"Okay, now you can get into the fusion device. Don't worry, you will be fine; I have tried it myself." Eddie said to Emma.

"Besides me, others have too."

Eddie pointed at the large fusion device in front of him.

"Hmm, I trust you." Emma nodded with a sweet smile. After that, she walked into the fusion device without any hesitation.

As Emma's consciousness gradually fell into a deep sleep. Transformation can be seen as a speedy process.

It takes at least six to three days to fully transform. This speed was acceptable, but the Serum v.2 he would use in the future would definitely take longer.

It takes at least a whole month; after all, the stronger the Serum, the longer the human body has to adapt.

Svetlana leaned against a large tree outside the building, her slender eyes looking into the distance.

Right now, she was waiting for someone, a woman.

Not long after, Caroline, a member of the Echo Six in jeans and leather boots, arrived.

As a fellow warrior, the woman immediately realized that a strong woman leaned against a tree. Even in her unwary state, that woman gave off the aura of an elite warrior!

Before Caroline could speak, Svetlana gave a signal. After Caroline answered with the same gesture, Svetlana said, "It seems to be you, follow me."

"How do you know that 'that' person is me?" asked Caroline.

"Only you emit the aura of a strong person." Svetlana said coldly, after which she walked towards the building without waiting for Caroline's answer.

Caroline's expression contorted; moments later, she followed Svetlana towards the building.

At first, Sienna wanted to accompany her, but Caroline didn't want to take this one friend with her.

With a swift movement, she managed to evade Sienna's radar. In the end, she made it to her destination without leaving any traces for Sienna to follow.

"I can't find any trace of Caroline; what exactly is she trying to do?" Sienna pouted. With Caroline gone, she is now alone. If she wanted to investigate Umbrella's underground facility alone, it would be a suicide mission.

On the other hand, Eddie checked some tools with Jessica and Lisa in the lab. These checks are carried out regularly; Eddie doesn't want his tools to wear out; if there are tools that don't work well, he's afraid that the problem will harm them.

*Swosh!*

The automatic steel door opened, and Svetlana stomped her high heels in. Behind her was followed by the beautiful and fit figure, Caroline!

"Welcome to my lab, Caroline. Long time no see." Eddie greeted with a smile.

"Long time no see, Eddie. Do you need anything from me?" Caroline responded to the man's greeting while nodding and smiling.

"I started playing with Simmons, and I need your help. But you are not strong enough now; I want to give you a gift first."

"The gift will make you stronger. Are you willing to accept it?" Eddie asked.

"What gift? Besides, I still haven't paid for your kindness; I can't accept your gift." Caroline shook her head; she refused this new gift.

"Simmons is very strong, and now he is my opponent. You are strong, but it is not enough."

"You will face fierce and terrifying monsters, therefore I wish to strengthen your strength." Eddie explained.

"But I can't tell you my mission; other than that, I can't betray my superiors." She would refuse if she was told to betray his boss to repay her gratitude. She prefers loyalty.

"Even if you don't tell me, I myself know your true mission." Eddie said simply.

The statement immediately surprised Caroline "!"

"Raccoon city university, underground lab. Dr. Mueller researches a new bioweapon, codenamed Thanatos. That monster can wipe out an entire regiment of trained marines. Am I right?" Eddie immediately reveals Caroline's hidden secret.

"Y-you!" Caroline was amazed. She never thought that her mission had been discovered by Eddie. Even he knew precisely what mission it was. But what makes Caroline curious is the name Thanatos...

"Thanatos? What kind of thing is that?" Caroline asked hesitantly.

"It's a humanoid shaped weapon, it looks like a human, but it's actually a monster."

"You can see it in this information file. Your mission is very dangerous." Eddie waved his hand, motioning Caroline to come closer to the computer desk.

There is a recorded video of the Tyrant-002 battle on the monitor screen. It could be seen that the monster was able to use its claws to pierce through thirty centimeters of concrete. The Tyrant who couldn't feel pain was the most perfect weapon.

"The professor is researching this kind of thing?" Caroline asked suspiciously.

"Yes, this is a project that Umbrella and the Alliance Military have been studying for a long time. But the military is always excluded from the project. They know things like this exist, but they don't know the progress and specific results of the research." Eddie nodded.

"But... What's the use of these things?" Caroline was confused.

"To replace humans in war, or simply to be used for special tactical operations which will reduce the damage to army units."

Eddie said with a shrug as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

"What do you want me to do?" Caroline looked at Eddie with a frown. Once these monsters are released, there will definitely be a great disaster.

"I want you to stay alive. But your strength is still too weak, that's why I want to help you become stronger. Don't worry, you won't become a monster." Eddie laughed.

"What is your real aim?" Caroline became more serious. Depending on Eddie's answer, she might try to help the man.

"I want to avenge Umbrella and make the mortality cure (immortality). Do you think I'm dreaming too much in this dream of mine?" Eddie laughed at himself.

"No, I... I believe you. The look in your eyes tells me you're not lying."

"I'm willing to help you," Caroline said in a firm tone.
