The squad leader struggled continuously, "He escaped, cough, cough, he went behind the dam, he left, cough, cough."
Crack, as soon as he finished speaking, Eddie snapped the man's neck. The questioning was over, so he could die.
Just after dealing with this guy, he saw Leon approaching, followed by a strange person.
"Eddie! What are you doing here? Have you seen Javier?" Leon asked, confused.
"Javier's subordinates rebelled, and I came to treat his daughter. It's not safe here, let's leave quickly." Eddie was not interested in the strange bald man behind Leon.
"You smell like Oriana!" Morpheus stepped out and blocked the path.
Chapter 436: Prototype Uroboros Virus
Eddie nodded, "Oriana is with me every day. She's also carrying my child. What, do you have a problem with that?"
Instead of attacking, Morpheus looked Eddie over with amusement, "The man she values, hehe, how interesting. If you want to pass, you'll have to fight me. I smell the virus."
Bang! A blue shadow flashed in front of Morpheus. Jessica shattered the Electromagnetic Barrier, kicking Morpheus directly away with her high heel, then performing a backflip to return immediately to Eddie's side.
The sequence of movements was smooth and flawless; her attack trajectory was completely invisible. This seemed incredible—how could a human achieve this level?
Leon watched, dumbfounded. He knew Morpheus's ability, the Electromagnetic Barrier, which even bullets couldn't penetrate, yet it was broken through by a woman. This was truly terrifying!
"The fight is over, you can scram. For Oriana's sake, I won't trouble you this time. If the outside world finds out about your current condition, I believe many pharmaceutical companies will be very interested in you. Take care of yourself, Leon. Your friend is decent." Eddie lit a cigarette and strode away.
After seeing Eddie leave, Leon walked over and helped Morpheus up. "You should go first. I will leave once I find Javier's criminal evidence. Since you saved me before, I won't tell anyone about your existence."
Morpheus was badly hurt by Jessica's high-heel kick. In terms of strength, Jessica could outclass him by a mile; she was a true combat operative. Morpheus was merely an amateur, and his virus was nowhere near as powerful as Jessica's.
"I know, you don't need to worry about me. Here's my number; you can contact me if you need anything. If you require my help, you'll need to make a deal with me." Morpheus handed over a slip of paper and smoothed his bald head.
Leon felt a chill. What kind of tastes did this guy have? People nowadays had really changed. Why cross-dress when you could be a normal man? Insane!
At the top of the dam, Eddie brought Manuela here. He happened to see two groups confronting each other: one was a Federal Bio-Terrorism Commission squad spearheaded by a Thanatos Tyrant, and the other was the desperate Mensellu.
Eddie's appearance drew the attention of both sides. He raised his cigarette and said, "You guys continue, don't mind me. I'm just watching the show."
"I'll f*ck you..." Mensellu was shot down just as he finished speaking.
Sheela put away her gun. "The mission target has been killed. We can wrap up."
Firing a cold shot from the shadows was despicable, but highly effective. This was about eliminating drug traffickers, not a private duel.
The downed Mensellu used his remaining consciousness to inject himself, absorbing a strange liquid.
The squad members who walked over to investigate immediately felt something was wrong. As they looked down, massive tentacles appeared seemingly out of nowhere, dragging them away and starting to drag the surrounding corpses as well.
"Open fire!" Parker saw this and immediately opened fire without hesitation.
Large-caliber heavy machine guns and Blue Light Gatlings began to take effect, continuously attacking Mensellu. Unfortunately, though the bullets made the opponent's tentacles fly everywhere, they had no actual effect.
A sharp glint flashed in Eddie's eyes. This thing looked a lot like that Zha Jiang Mian Virus. Could it be the Uroboros Virus? That thing seemed completely useless. Used to evolve humans? That's a joke!
Alexia also noticed the unusual nature of it. "Is that a new type of virus?"
"I don't know, but I think there might be a third party watching and preparing to collect combat data." Eddie looked around but didn't find anything unusual.
Alexia crossed her arms, her beautiful eyes gleaming with curiosity. Anything that could aid her husband's Immortality Project was worth understanding.
Bullets hit Mensellu, but nothing happened. Soon, Mensellu, having devoured a large number of corpses and living people, transformed into a twisted, pitch-black monster, with the shadow of a centipede writhing within it. Overall, it looked extremely disgusting.
The Thanatos Tyrant showed no fear. Controlled by the Command personnel, it quickly charged forward, slicing the twisted monster Mensellu into two halves with a single claw.
The twisted Mensellu still seemed conscious. The two severed parts quickly reconnected. "Haha, I am immortal! This is power! I am qualified now! I want to join The Organization!"
Swoosh! The Thanatos Tyrant quickly returned, its massive sharp claw piercing directly through the location of the heart.
Mensellu, however, wore an expression of enjoyment, using his twisted tentacles with a sinister grin to restrain the Thanatos Tyrant, attempting to absorb it. He released scorching sulfuric acid fluid, corroding the Thanatos Tyrant.
"Roar!" This was the first time the Thanatos Tyrant had screamed in agony. Its physical mechanism was restricted, its body size swelled, and it became even more ferocious.
This time, its left arm was gone, consumed by Mensellu. The mutated Thanatos Tyrant grew taller, and its right hand mutated into a gigantic claw.
The single claw continuously swung, trying to eliminate Mensellu.
Mensellu still maintained a shred of consciousness, grappling with the Thanatos Tyrant with a sinister laugh, "Haha, come on, hit me! I'm going to eat you."
Sheela picked up a sniper rifle and fired a shot at an exposed orange-yellow pustule on Mensellu.
The pustule instantly burst, and the bullet was severely corroded. Mensellu twitched a few times, as if his kidney had been ruptured, and his eyes grew even more insane. "Stinking woman, die for your grandpa!"
The maddened Mensellu abandoned the struggling Thanatos Tyrant and charged toward Sheela.
The quick-witted Sheela hurriedly dodged to the side. The two squad members behind her holding Gatlings were struck by Mensellu and instantly devoured amidst screams, leaving no bones behind.
This bizarre scene made people's scalps tingle. A squad of soldiers unleashed a torrent of fire on Mensellu, causing the tentacles on his body to continuously twist and fall off.
None of this had any effect. The constantly wriggling, twisted tentacles dispersed the momentum of the bullets, allowing the entire body to withstand the impact by severing and regrowing tentacles to heal the injuries.
"What kind of monster is this?" Even the battle-hardened Parker was startled. He could only throw a grenade. "Everyone retreat! Blow it up."
Boom! The grenade exploded. Mensellu seemed to be quite injured, but soon, the pitch-black tentacles extended again, and the wounded areas began to repair themselves. The entire entity was no longer recognizable as human; only the head area vaguely suggested a person.
Chapter 437: Javier's Entrustment
Sheela frantically dodged the attacks. Since the sniper rifle was unusable, she used her handgun to attack the opponent, but it had no effect.
Thud! Sheela failed to dodge and was hit in the back by an oil barrel Mensellu had swatted away, sending her flying.
Eddie caught the flying Sheela. "Hey beautiful, looks like you need help. But my help isn't free; there's a charge. Do you have money?"
Sheela's "thank you" was stuck in her throat. She retracted the words. This man had zero gentlemanly conduct, actually discussing money with her. "No need, I don't have money."
Eddie shrugged, "Then we can only run. This monster isn't something we can handle." After saying that, he grabbed Alexia and ran without looking back.
Sheela paused, stunned. She had never met such a straightforward man—zero gentlemanly conduct, running faster than she was when facing a monster.
The group ran quickly, occasionally using grenades to slow Mensellu's pursuit. The increasingly massive Mensellu followed closely, his eyes filled only with scarlet killing intent. His consciousness had been swallowed by the virus; now only the instincts to feed and spread remained.
Fortunately, everyone was trained and reached Havier's Villa. This was originally the residence of Manuela and Hilda, but after Hilda's accident, only Manuela lived there.
After Manuela's accident, the place was abandoned and converted into a greenhouse area, which wasn't locked. Inside was a massive plant Javier had cultivated himself, which was also infected with the Veronica Virus.
After running for a long time, Sheela was breathless. "Eddie, I need help."
"What's the price? How about one night?" Eddie grinned mischievously.
