Current virus research has hit a bottleneck. Even Alexia doesn't want to waste time on it anymore. With this effort, it would be better to search for alien civilizations.
"I'll go save her. Is there anything else?" Eddie nodded. It's just an experimental subject, saving her is no problem, it's a piece of cake.
Mia shook her head, "No, that's all. Thank you, Eddie, you are a good person, not as bad as the outside world says."
Mia, with her gentle smile, was truly beautiful, with fair skin and soft, dark long hair. No wonder she was a goddess adored by thousands.
Eddie shook his head, lighting a cigarette, "I'm not a good person. Everything I do is to make my own life better. I won't be a purely good person; that's meaningless. If I have the ability, I don't mind giving others a little help. This is my team contract, take a look."
Mia took the contract, looking at the domineering clauses, and her beautiful eyes looked at Eddie, "Are you serious?"
Working for two hundred years, who could endure that? A person's life is only eighty years, which is simply not enough.
Eddie nodded, "Of course I'm serious. If I say you can, you can. I won't lie. Everyone who has joined my team has signed such a contract, and the previous ones were only for two or three years. They've already expired, and none of them will leave, because there's no boss more conscientious than me!"
Chapter 625: Mia, Welcome to Join
However, after calming down, Mia noticed that Eddie's expression remained indifferent. Her beautiful eyes looked at the three heroic bodyguards, each over 1.8 meters tall, wearing combat high heels, which made some men feel inferior.
Being surpassed in height by a woman is not something to be happy about, but if one doesn't mind, then it doesn't matter.
Mia lowered her head in thought, her eyes scanning each clause. She took a deep breath, calming her inner turmoil.
The more outrageous the demands, the better the benefits. Capitalists are black-hearted and will only desperately exploit labor, but all this leads to one question: is it worth it?
Looking at the three female bodyguards, with their steady demeanor, their equipment was also very luxurious; at least one set of equipment was worth over a billion.
If Mia knew that Jessica and the other two women's equipment each had a budget of tens of billions, she would probably immediately make up her mind and sign.
Only a woman like Mia, who has experienced the tempering of society, would have such unique insight and be able to see all the potential value.
To someone who doesn't understand cars, a nine-hand Alto and a brand new Rolls-Royce look the same. They simply don't understand, and showing off fails!
What's the use of playing a lute to a cow?
It just so happened that Eddie knew Mia had good insight, which is why he gave her a contract.
The reason he didn't give one to Zoe was because Zoe was still a university student and would find it hard to accept this fact. He could just have Marguerite do some ideological work with her later.
Zoe watched Mia's change with curiosity, wondering what she had seen. Such a big reaction clearly indicated she was facing a choice. What could it be?
Eddie smiled, "If you find it too difficult, you don't have to sign. I only give one chance."
Mia didn't refuse. Her delicate hand grasped the contract, and her beautiful eyes stared at the man, "Why are you recruiting me at this time?"
"Because you were honest with me, I think you're very good, so I'm recruiting you to join the team." Eddie didn't hide it. His criteria for recruiting members were simple: fair skin, beautiful appearance, good temperament, and talent.
Character issues can be changed. Even a proud queen like Alexia, after joining his team, became calm and composed. She's a queen outside, but not within the team.
Mia suddenly smiled, "I have reason to believe you. You are very talented and know how to use viruses. I agree, I'll join your team. The subsequent matters are up to you; I've reported for duty here with you."
With a swift hand, she signed her name. Mia felt a little anxious, knowing she could live a long time, and two hundred years was nothing.
True longevity is the evolution of genes, a topic that every large enterprise and regional government is researching.
However, none have truly succeeded in researching it. Perfect integration sounds simple, but it is extremely difficult to achieve.
As far as Mia knew, the only thing that could achieve perfect integration was the Dominant species Plaga, and that involved being parasitized. Although it could provide decent strength and physical enhancement, it would cause the host to become a eunuch.
It resulted in the loss of reproductive ability and also shortened lifespan.
When cells aged, and one reached fifty or sixty years old, if they couldn't bear it, they would die directly, along with the parasite.
It couldn't achieve the goal of longevity, and this alone made it not a good choice.
Mia could tell that Eddie and the others hadn't used parasites; this was observable.
Then there was only one possibility: Eddie had already mastered the ability to perfectly integrate viruses, promoting cellular evolution and enhancement, which is why he possessed superhuman physical abilities!
"Your guess is very good, I am indeed like that. If you join my team, I will also let you gain this ability!" Eddie blew smoke rings, took the contract, and picked up a wine bottle.
Mia also smiled, picking up her wine bottle and clinking it. She knew that if she left, many men would be disappointed, no longer seeing her, this beautiful goddess. Unfortunately, she was a goddess, and beautiful women could only be possessed by powerful men.
"Happy cooperation, my boss!" Mia's smile bloomed, her mood indescribably good.
"Happy cooperation!" Eddie also laughed heartily.
Their wine bottles clinked, everything unsaid.
Zoe was confused. She wanted to ask, but didn't know what to ask. She made up her mind to ask her mother Marguerite later to find out what was going on.
Moreover, Zoe had always had a doubt: her mother was getting younger and younger. Before, she looked like a middle-aged farm woman in her forties or fifties, with a weathered appearance.
Recently, she noticed her getting younger, turning into her thirties.
There must be something strange going on. Zoe knew something was wrong, but her mother's health was excellent. She couldn't very well suspect her mother just because she was healthy, could she?
Just as the three were chatting idly, in the military camp on the outskirts of the city, Federation troops quickly received the news, arrived, and rapidly began rescue operations.
As Eddie said, if they carpet-bombed again, the ensuing crisis would be even more severe than the current one.
No one suggested using missiles, as they all knew how severe the consequences would be.
They could only use the most basic method: deploy troops for rescue, save as many survivors as possible, and then use explosives for demolition and disinfection!
This method would result in heavy casualties for the rescue team, but there was no other way; it was a necessary task.
Tat-tat-tat! The sound of assault rifles rang out as properly trained squads accurately hit the heads of the zombies, killing the wandering undead.
"Monsters are moving in large numbers towards the north!" The scout in the sky transmitted the information.
Tanks on the ground had begun to assemble, forming the strictest battle line in the direction of the monsters' and zombies' movement.
Heavy Gatling machine guns began to preheat and rotate, carving a vacuum path through the vast horde of zombies.
Thump! Some mutated monsters were still running on the walls.
Puff! The next second, sticky fishing nets flew out, trapping all these monsters.
The powerless monsters fell from high altitudes, torn to shreds by the mounted machine guns of the armed Helicopters in the air!
Chapter 626: Marguerite's Change
Eddie looked at the situation below. There weren't many zombies left. "It seems the zombies have been drawn away. We can prepare to leave."
A Helicopter flew in from a distance. The pilot was a pretty model, wearing eight-centimeter high heels despite being a pilot. What was she trying to do?
Hailey smoked a cigarette while flying the plane, completely disregarding safety rules. Besides, even without the plane, she could fly herself.
