"Pursue it! We must kill it! This kind of monster holds a grudge. If we get separated, we'll be eaten, and we won't even know how we died!" Chris decisively gave the order.
"But our mission is to rescue the hostages!" Piers reminded him.
"I am the captain, and what I say goes! Just follow my orders. If you don't want to die, you can disobey!" Chris roared. He didn't want to see any more teammates perish.
"Alright, we'll follow you." Piers clearly knew something, nodding silently.
"Tag the Great Serpent and find its hiding spot!" Chris instructed.
The Great Serpent below began to mutate. Its scales flickered a few times, and it completely vanished from sight, achieving perfect invisibility through a function similar to mimicry!
Meanwhile, Simmons mutated again, turning into a monster resembling a gigantic crab. With a swing of its massive claw, it snapped the building's support pillars, causing the structure to be sliced in half.
The top section, nearly three hundred meters high, lost its support and plummeted from the sky!
Simmons intended to kill his enemy by making them fall. If successful, no normal person could survive a drop from that height!
If I can't kill you by hitting you, I'll kill you by dropping you!
But something that horrified Simmons happened again: Eddie, accompanied by three female bodyguards, was slowly descending from the high altitude, a slow fall that defied the laws of physics!
"Impossible!" Simmons managed to utter human language with his mutated voice.
"Nothing is impossible! You fundamentally misunderstand what true power is!" Eddie's right hand flickered with magnetic field energy, and he struck out with a punch.
Bang! The massive crab carapace Simmons had mutated into began to shed and decompose.
Large amounts of bone fragments fell, followed by undigested corpses. Simmons's bloody and mangled main body continued to cough up blood!
Thud! Having fallen over six hundred meters, Simmons's head was slightly cracked, but relying on the powerful functions of the C-Virus and the Dominant species Plaga, he could still barely breathe.
Eddie slowly descended, finally landing safely.
He walked up to Simmons. "You lost, Simmons!"
"Cough, cough..." Simmons pulled out a pocket watch. "Help... help me... my... my mother... I... I will... I... cough, cough..."
Before he could finish, Simmons seemed to lose consciousness, and his outstretched hand dropped.
"Don't play dead. I know you won't live much longer; a fall won't kill you. Life spans have limits, and forced mutation results in death. I'll fulfill your final wish depending on my mood!" Eddie said, beckoning, and the pocket watch flew into his hand.
Simmons's breath was faint, but he wasn't completely dead yet.
Just as Eddie had said, Simmons couldn't die yet.
The combination of the two substances granted him powerful vitality. Now, he was continuously burning cellular lifespan, and once depleted, he would naturally die, certainly within forty-eight hours.
No matter how miraculous these viruses were, they couldn't escape the existing law of life expectancy.
He opened the pocket watch; inside was a photo of a woman. She looked quite young, still attractive, and her smile was peaceful. Was this Simmons's mother?
Chapter 633: Kailie's Electrotherapy
This left Eddie conflicted. Should he go save her? What would he say when they met?
"Hey, beautiful, I killed your son, and your son asked me to come save you."
Listen to that—isn't that completely outrageous? No normal person would accept such a result!
Eddie's eyes flickered a few times. He waved his hand, and Jessica knowingly came over to light his cigarette.
He took a satisfying puff. "Let's go, time to find the person."
After Eddie left, Simmons's fingers twitched. A tentacle extended, wrapped around a zombie, dragged it over forcibly, and devoured it.
In the engine room on Goddess Island, January and her daughter, along with Suzuki Yoko and her daughter, all four women wearing bikinis, were typing on keyboards in front of computers.
The fragrance of medicinal herbs drifted through the room. After looking up the information, Suzuki Yoko said, "Honey, Simmons's mother is in a mountain range that is also covered by poisonous gas. She hasn't mutated into a zombie yet."
Walking down the street, Eddie pressed his ear. "I got it. Send the location over, and I'll go check it out. Oh, right, take a few days off soon. I'll take you surfing."
"Sounds great! Dad, don't go back on your word, or I'll tell Mom our secret!" Jones, Suzuki Yoko's daughter, teased him. That secret belonged only to her and Eddie.
"Of course, I never go back on my word; I always follow through. Sweetie, help your aunties out a bit more, and we'll go play in space later." Eddie laughed.
Daughters were always mischievous, but the education seemed quite successful!
After hanging up the communication, Suzuki Yoko blinked. "What secret do you have with Eddie? You can't even tell me? Am I still your mother?"
Jones whined playfully, "Don't be like that! Of course, you're my mom, hehe. You'll find out later, but I won't tell you now. Oh dear, we still need to perfect Misha's AI; we'll rely on her help to manage the spaceship later."
Walking down the street, Eddie happened to run into Chris, who was currently carrying out the pursuit mission.
"What a coincidence. You guys aren't rescuing people? Not bad, you finally have some independent thought." Eddie laughed heartily, seemingly approving of this act of disobeying orders.
"We need to kill a beast first. It can turn invisible, so we must eliminate it. Snakes hold grudges, otherwise the danger level of the rescue mission will suddenly increase," Chris explained.
"Alright. Need help? I can deal with it for you while I'm here." Eddie asked as a matter of routine.
"That would be the best, of course. If you could also tell us its weakness, it would make it easier for us to handle it," Chris said, showing no reserve.
Having been through so much, he was no longer embarrassed to ask, unlike before.
After all, Eddie was his brother-in-law. It was perfectly reasonable for an elder brother-in-law to ask his younger brother-in-law for help!
"It's simple. If it can turn invisible, splash some paint on it—even the most formidable monster will become visible. It will reveal its true form the moment it attacks. Use your brains; so-called bioweapons are just that. If their heart and head are destroyed, their death is imminent." After Eddie finished speaking, he punched the air directly.
Bang! With one punch, a Great Serpent was knocked out of the air, its entire head destroyed.
Only its body, over twenty meters long, remained on the ground. This was truly a Super Python, capable of swallowing a cow!
Eddie withdrew his fist. "Alright, good luck!"
He left behind the BSAA members, who were all staring blankly at each other. Was he human? He destroyed a snake's head with one punch? Was this the power a human could possess?
In a few leaps, Eddie and his three female bodyguards reached the edge of the city, crossing over the untrodden mountains to find Simmons's mother.
Beneath an oil field base on the East Coast, a Super Bioweapon, similar to the one beneath the offshore oil field base in Lanxiang City in the A-San Region, was slowly awakening.
Resembling a gigantic skeleton, it possessed specially cultivated C-Virus, making it immune to fatal damage from any attack.
Every time it was injured, it would quickly repair itself and evolve against its weaknesses, eliminating them.
Furthermore, this bioweapon, named Chaos, possessed strong infectious capabilities, allowing it to rapidly create large numbers of zombie soldiers.
When Simmons's heart rate nearly flatlined, this bioweapon, cultivated for many years, was activated.
A nearly seventy-thousand-ton battleship anchored offshore was almost flipped over!
