This was all Eddie's fault. If Eddie hadn't poached Carla, Simmons wouldn't have ignored a beautiful female doctor to hire a man instead. At least a man wouldn't need to worry about being poached, could be relatively safely entrusted with the subsequent experiments, and wouldn't leak secrets.
Seeing this, Eddie seemed to understand a little: that bastard Spencer still held considerable resources and was living quite well.
Eddie read the data for half an hour. Thinking about this, he rubbed his chin with his right hand—there wasn't a hint of stubble. He held a cigarette in his left hand. "Should I leak some information to Wesker?"
Using old Wesker to deal with Spencer was clearly a good idea.
Mampel crawled out from under the table, tossed the tools aside, and picked up a bottle of mineral water to rinse her mouth. "Next time, I must check the wiring first. I hate crawling under tables!"
"Alright, I'll leave this arduous task to you. Let the young ladies help you," Eddie chuckled mischievously.
Mampel looked a little shy. "Okay, I'll handle all of it, lazy pig Dad, haha!"
Joking between father and daughter doesn't always need to be serious. Speaking this way makes the daughter more willing to listen. Gaps are like generation gaps; once filled, they cease to exist.
By dinnertime, Eddie had already thought of a good idea.
Alexia pulled out a deck of poker cards and raised her delicate eyebrows. "Let's begin."
This little game again! Eddie casually drew a card. It wasn't the Seven of Spades or the Three of Hearts; it was a photoshoot picture of Alexia wearing an evening gown.
Kathy was curious, but when she glanced over and saw that all of Alexia's cards were pictures of herself, she immediately rolled her eyes a little. No wonder she was so confident—wasn't this cheating?
"What's the plan next?" Alex didn't pay attention to her sister's little trick, focusing instead on finishing her steak.
"Once you finish the subsequent refinement plan, I'll be the test subject." Eddie decided to be a hands-off boss. Why bother doing the work himself when he had smart women like Carla and Alex?
Chapter 574: Carla's Mission
Early the next morning, Alexia was humming a tune and eating breakfast, looking radiant.
Eddie walked out, yawning, and said, "Wife, why don't we put the spaceship project aside for now? You can help Carla get the virus to its perfect state and produce the necessary components. Then we can develop the spaceship together. How does that sound?"
Alexia smiled sweetly. "That sounds fine."
Eddie was a little surprised. Since when was Alexia so agreeable?
Seemingly sensing her husband's confusion, Alexia lightly stroked her blonde hair. "Are you surprised?"
*Clack*. With a flip of her delicate hand, a cigarette appeared between her fingers. She lit it and took a puff. "I'm always exceptionally obedient when I'm happy and satisfied!"
Makes perfect sense, it's the same principle as being indebted to someone.
With Alexia's participation, the experiment progressed rapidly.
Carla brought a large amount of Pupa Virus data. This new virus, which combined the G-Virus and the Veronica Virus, genuinely earned some praise from the original creator, Alexia.
From the perspective of an ordinary person, this virus was already excellent and could be developed purely as a virus for strengthening the body and improving physical fitness.
Annette, Carla, Alex, and Alexia were all top virology experts, along with Christine, who was equally obsessed with virology. With such a luxurious lineup, and with none of them needing to scheme against each other, how could the research speed not be fast?
Eddie, meanwhile, was comfortably basking in the sun, watching his daughters play beach volleyball, and occasionally managing his distant businesses via phone. Everything was perfectly comfortable and pleasant.
He had a wife, he had daughters, his career was successful, he was young and wealthy. Thinking about it, it seemed like there were no goals left to strive for.
Three months passed quietly. Eddie had been flying all over the world. He would either stay at the headquarters in the Mediterranean and chat with Mrs. Yasi and others, or fly to Eastern Slav Republic, which had become a holy land for film shooting, to exchange acting experiences with the actresses.
Upon returning to Goddess Island, Carla had already extracted the basic genetic sequence required for the perfect state virus.
Thanks to the previous viral enhancements, the effects of the T-Phobos Virus were still ongoing.
A person who feels no fear is the most terrifying, and the closest to success.
Not feeling fear doesn't mean losing emotions; it just means overcoming fear. This was all a result of those horror movies. Sadako, Kayako, and others had already spawned more than ten sequels each, completely lacking innovation.
Carla was still dressed in a sky-blue dress, but she had swapped her leather high heels for single-strap high heels. "The parasite from the Mariana Trench has been retrieved by Hilda. Next up is volcanic ash. The purest volcanic ash is hidden deep inside a volcano, and getting it will require Eddie to figure out a way."
Alex maintained a half-smile as she watched her husband yawn. See, this was the result of confidently challenging her; she had the help of her sisters, she wasn't alone.
"What kind of volcano is suitable?" Eddie asked, yawning.
Alex's daughter, Elaine, said, "The Kijuju region in West Africa has a suitable volcano."
"Find an active volcano and jump in?" Eddie teased.
Elaine rolled her eyes. "Of course not! You wouldn't survive that, and then you couldn't bring me any new sisters. You need to use instruments. Aunt Alexia has prepared the professional instruments. You need to inquire over there. We need a dormant volcano that has cooled for three thousand years; that's where the things we need are."
This made Alex laugh a little. Her daughter really dared to say anything and wasn't worried about being awkward.
"Alright, anything else?" Eddie nodded. This kind of heavy labor could only be done by him.
The other item is a unique prehistoric plant from South America, which Aunt Ada and the others will handle.
"Okay, I'll make arrangements then." Eddie nodded and pulled out his phone. It was great having a smart daughter—filial and obedient. This was why he preferred having daughters; they were wonderful, whereas sons brought a lot of trouble.
Actually, there was one last component that hadn't been gathered yet, but its location was unknown for now. They would worry about it once it was found.
Sheva, who was in charge of the West Africa branch, sat bored in her office. This kind of life had been going on for some time.
The bio-weapons in Africa simply could not be completely eradicated. Near the port where the great battle originally took place, residual viruses could still be found infecting nearby animals, turning them into monsters.
Coupled with the unique instability of Africa, the frequency of warfare here surpassed even the Middle East and Eastern Europe regions.
A phone rang. Sheva answered it, and quickly became energized. It seemed to be a call worth her attention.
Soon, the sound of high heels echoed in the corridor outside, and the room door opened. A tall, chocolate-skinned Bond girl walked in, holding a cigarette between her fingers, looking beautiful yet sexy.
"Sheva, are you busy these days? We're going out to have some fun, want to join us?" This tall Bond girl was Samantha, an investor.
If her name didn't immediately ring a bell, mentioning her father, Eddie, would definitely remind people who she was. Her mother was Anlra, a very virtuous woman.
"Oh, I might not have time. Eddie is coming, and he asked me to be his guide. I have to help him," Sheva replied apologetically.
Samantha's expression was strange. "No way. I treat you like a best friend, but you want to become my aunt?"
"What do you mean?" Sheva was confused.
Samantha smiled and blew a smoke ring. "It's simple. Because my father is Eddie."
This left Sheva dumbfounded. She couldn't imagine Eddie, who looked so young, having a twenty-year-old daughter.
Samantha briefly explained the situation, which made Sheva feel awkward and slightly incredulous. Was the virus really that powerful?
"There's nothing to be surprised about. Since my dad is coming, let's go together. He must be here for something. You should seize the opportunity, otherwise, who knows when he'll visit next," Samantha reminded her.
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Sheva certainly wouldn't admit it.
