The elevator plummeted over thirty meters to the floor, turning into a mangled wreck, and the three soldiers inside met a tragic end.
The terrifying power of the G-Creature was once again demonstrated, striking immense fear into ordinary people.
Chapter 520: Curtis's Dying Obsession
Angela wanted to say more but could only suppress her grief and follow along.
The video feed here was hacked by January, and the lobby screen was locked.
Eddie didn't need to worry about being seen; he directly leaped from the high platform, the door to the laboratory behind him already closed.
Curtis, now a monster, roared, swinging his massive right arm with a force of forty tons.
Eddie didn't dodge or evade; he met it with a punch, piercing through the opponent's palm and using an electromagnetic barrier to directly explode the huge eyeball on its right shoulder.
"Ow!" Curtis let out an inhuman wail, then collapsed limply onto the corridor.
Eddie continued with another punch, sending Curtis falling from a great height, plummeting over thirty meters.
At the same time, using magnetic field control, he injected a syringe into the most vulnerable, damaged eyeball on the right shoulder.
Angela, Claire, and Lisa also landed safely, with Angela nervously looking at her brother.
Curtis, the monster, wailed incessantly. At one point, he saw Angela. The monster's head screamed, while Curtis's head below intermittently said, "Kill... kill me. Take good care of Tamara and Jaslyn!"
"No, you can still be saved," Angela said, unable to accept the truth and in great pain.
Curtis still had a sliver of consciousness left. "Eddie, do it! Kill me! I'm losing control. Find the murderer, avenge me, and take care of my sister, my wife, and my daughter. Please!"
Eddie nodded. "I will. I'll take good care of your sister-in-law and the others. Don't worry, I'll avenge you!"
After speaking, Eddie raised his fist and directly punched Curtis's head, blowing it apart. He used high-voltage electricity to completely kill the G-Virus in the corpse before stopping.
Angela's eyes were still full of sorrow. "Eddie, what should I do now? How do I tell Tamara and the others this news?"
"If you don't know how to say it, then I'll say it. This place is about to explode, so let's get out of here first. Afterwards, we still have to avenge Curtis." Eddie said, beckoning for the three women to fly up with him, and in a blink, they reached the fifty-meter-high ceiling.
He punched through the ceiling, reaching a safe area. He then casually used the magnetic field distortion effect to pull steel over and seal the area.
This was an office area, with a garden pathway below, and in front was a huge cylindrical high-temperature sterilization zone.
The alarm continued to blare, and more explosions were imminent.
To protect their secrets, such pharmaceutical companies would secretly install many hidden explosives and self-destruct devices. Even if defeated, they would never hand over their assets willingly.
The four continued upwards, finally finding Leon and Kevin in the monitoring room. Outside the monitoring room, there was also a cross-dresser with an absurdly high hairline, who seemed to have successfully undergone some kind of surgery.
"Morpheus? You dare show up? Aren't you afraid of being captured and dissected by the Federation?" Eddie sneered.
"Hmph, for Oriana's sake, I won't kill you. You'd best not play with fire," Morpheus said in a feminine voice.
Eddie felt utterly nauseated. "Get out of here quickly. If you don't want to be captured and dissected, then leave now."
Morpheus glanced at the monitoring room, leaped with force, jumped ten meters high, directly broke through the wall, and disappeared into the night.
Leon came out with the disk. "Everything about us was monitored. This person was trying to use these videos to create some kind of conspiracy."
"It's probably proof of arms dealing, right? Any other clues?" Eddie wasn't worried at all about his secrets being exposed.
"I found out that Dawn, the chief researcher here, is a former Umbrella researcher, and has had close financial dealings with major European banks for a year," Kevin also dropped a bombshell.
"So, catching him will definitely lead to some clues, right? Let's go then." Eddie said, leading the way out.
The laboratories below continued to explode, containing a large number of G-Virus cultures, all used for vaccine experiments.
Under the high-temperature flames, even fully formed G-Creatures could not survive.
Fire has a natural restraint on living organisms; no flesh-and-blood creature is unafraid of fire.
In another part of the city, Bernal, who had previously deceived Curtis and injected him with the G-Virus, quickly moved through the streets. He used brute force to send vehicles flying or directly crushed people and cars alike.
He rushed to the TV station, took out the saved disk, and connected it to the server. The staff in the vicinity were already dead and infected with the T-Virus and G-larvae.
A video appeared, showing a private collaboration between a certain department of the Western Federation and Umbrella, involving a biological weapon development project. These were solid proofs, demonstrating that a large part of the now-defunct Umbrella was actually caused by the Western Federation.
The video was short, ending with the tragic scene of Raccoon City, a small border town flattened by nuclear weapons.
This video was not only broadcast on TV channels but also copied by software and automatically uploaded to websites. Crossing regional restrictions, it quickly appeared on other Oceania networks.
It seemed someone deliberately wanted to spread the truth and strike a blow against the Western Federation!
The whole world was in an uproar. So, after all this time, the Western Federation was fighting itself? Also exposed were some cruel experiments, such as creating Tyrants using death row inmates.
Even Simmons, who was preparing to leave, found the situation extremely tricky. This kind of situation was the hardest to resist. He might be drowned by public opinion, so he had to return to The Pentagon to discuss it with the President.
Angela's eyes were still red with sorrow. Her brother had just died, and he had died under a biochemical virus attack, which not only saddened her but also filled her with intense resentment.
"Eddie, can you help me find the murderer of my brother?" Angela asked, tears streaming down her face.
"Of course, no problem. I'd be happy to help you," Eddie said with a smile. "Alright, stop crying. You're my wife, so I'll definitely help you. Do you want to come along?"
Angela nodded. "I'll go with you!"
At this moment, the beautiful Jill arrived on a private plane, accompanied by Wolf Mother. The BSAA did not dispatch other teams, only sending Chris to act as a biochemical weapons expert to provide guidance.
Chapter 521: Eddie's Limitless Magnetic Field
The truth about Raccoon City was revealed: it was a series of incidents created by the collusion between the Western Federation government and the Umbrella Corporation, using the T-Virus.
The Pentagon was holding an emergency meeting, discussing how to minimize the damage. If the government lost public trust, it could cause a major earthquake!
Senator Bridges walked steadily into the conference room. He was Rita's father, the CFO of Mysterious Pharmaceutical, and he was taking this opportunity to begin his path to promotion.
"Gentlemen, the truth about Raccoon City has now been revealed. I hope you can come up with a way to mitigate the impact of this incident on the Federation and stabilize the confidence of our citizens," Benford said directly, getting straight to the point.
Simmons kept his head down, not speaking.
Bridges, however, looked around and then slowly said, "The immediate priority is to restore public trust. We can fully explain what happened. The development of biological weapons is an undeniable fact, and we can even shift the reasoning."
"In recent years, our Guard has suffered heavy losses in foreign wars, and the purpose of developing biological weapons is to reduce those losses. To create cheap labor, hasn't the security department developed the so-called Thanatos Tyrant? This is a good excuse," Bridges said.
"This method could work. It's a last resort, and we have a reason, but we also need a carrot. As long as there's a benefit, they'll quickly forget this unpleasantness. We just need to announce that we will no longer develop such weapons, and even if we do, we will fully develop vaccines," Simmons revealed part of the plan.
He suggested portraying the T-Virus as something that could enhance physical fitness, making Federation citizens taller, handsomer, and stronger.
Benford kept nodding, remaining silent, watching his subordinates perform.
