Chapter 639: News of Baker Farm
Now that his father's head had been blown off, and by his enemy no less, how could Daniel not be enraged? He was practically exploding with anger!
"I want you all dead, you dogs! Die!" Daniel's body began to burst open, tentacles extending to capture and feed on the surrounding zombies, simultaneously forming a defensive wall of tentacles.
"We seem to have pissed him off, but his point is quite good." Eddie Cai nodded approvingly.
"What point?" Sherry asked curiously.
"He said we were a couple. I think he's spot on, don't you agree?" Eddie Cai chuckled mischievously.
Sherry blushed slightly. "Hmph, I hate you! Who said we were a couple? You're being naughty! When the time comes, I'll tell Sister Alexia that you bullied me!"
"Haha, go ahead and tell her. Later, I have to go to the Duerwei Area to deal with some matters. Do you want to come along? I'm going to rescue a beauty." Eddie Cai teased.
Sherry rolled her eyes. "Don't think I don't know—it's Aunt Marguerite's daughter, right? I heard she's also a genius in pharmacology, so she should be able to help you."
Slap! Sherry was hit with a slap. Eddie Cai snorted, "You guys are beneficiaries too, you know!"
"Fine, I know you work hard and are selfless. Daniel is about to finish mutating. Didn't you say you wanted to deal with them before they mutated? Letting the enemy develop like this isn't good, is it?" Sherry didn't mind; if given the chance, she might really help Eddie Cai have a child.
"The gun is in your hands, beautiful," Eddie Cai said helplessly.
Sherry stuck out her tongue, looking a bit embarrassed. "My mistake."
The Electromagnetic Sniper Rifle aimed again, its power adjusted to maximum this time.
The sniper rifle focused a burst of blue light. The next second, the blue light vanished, and Daniel's cocoon was instantly pierced. The area where his head was turned to dust, and the remaining shockwave only stopped after penetrating ten buildings.
This was the masterpiece of weapon design genius Emma! Moira's best friend!
Sherry perfectly absorbed the sniper rifle's recoil, then readjusted the energy intensity. Using her unique intuition, she located the cocoon's sustaining heart and systematically blew up the kinetic-providing heart organs, shot after shot.
After exactly thirty shots, the cocoon finally began to rupture. Daniel, only halfway through his corruption inside, was brutally killed.
The sturdy cocoon shell could withstand artillery bombardment without moving, yet it couldn't endure the impact of a laser.
"Oh yeah, look, I blew him up!" Sherry cheered, sounding somewhat innocent, not at all like a professionally trained female agent.
"You're very impressive. Our children will definitely be impressive too," Eddie Cai affirmed with a nod.
Sherry smiled sweetly, not saying anything, making it unclear whether she objected or agreed.
Meanwhile, the naval fleet began to exert force, disregarding the lives of the city residents. They used the powerful artillery of battleships and cruisers for saturation strikes, aiming to eliminate the active zombie forces first.
Eddie Cai frowned and spoke into his mic, "January, find out who is giving these orders. Tell Kailie and the others to have some fun. Whoever targets me, kill them—and make sure to leave no loose ends."
Knowing he was in the city, yet still using indiscriminate artillery coverage—wasn't that intentional?
Modern battleship shells weigh at least a ton or more; a single shot can instantly level a small village.
The kinetic turbulence generated by the explosions and shell impacts was immense and certainly no joke.
January, wearing a bikini, sat in the machine room typing on the keyboard. "Got it, hubby. You need to leave quickly. The naval fleet has issued a full-scale saturation directive; every city will be hit by artillery fire!"
Using rapid flight, he left Lanxiang City. Looking back, the entire city had plunged into darkness.
A burst of strong light flashed—the shock effect of a power station explosion!
Artillery fire covered everything, war drums shook the heavens, screams, explosions, and flames shot skyward. This was the complete misery of war, tinged with the flavor of the apocalypse.
"See? With the existence of bioviruses, this place will sooner or later enter an Ice Age." Eddie Cai's intuition was accurate; if things continued this way, they would eventually self-destruct, leading to a Wasteland Era.
"I know. Alexia also said she strongly agrees with your view. When it comes to the big picture, you are always the best." Sherry didn't hide her affection for Eddie Cai; only powerful men were qualified to speak with her, and she genuinely disliked men weaker than herself.
The Army and Navy cooperated, driving the Chaos Beasts near the oil field into the city. Using a suicide squad to detonate a substation, they generated an astonishing, instantaneous high-intensity current, electrocuting the Chaos Beasts directly!
This was also the reason for the dazzling blue light Eddie Cai and the others saw.
Using the sacrifice of an entire city to kill one bioweapon monster—it was unclear whether it was a loss or a gain.
This battle would continue until all detectable large monsters were killed by artillery fire, only then would the Army move in to clean up.
Eddie Cai boarded a plane and headed for the Western Federation.
The news displayed on the plane was about Baker Farm. Some time ago, Baker Farm experienced some incidents, and the surrounding residents all moved away.
There also seemed to be many missing persons cases, and Baker Farm was known as a haunted house.
Uncle Baker and his son Lucas hadn't contacted Marguerite for a long time, nor had Marguerite proactively contacted them.
Lucas was directly abandoned for insulting Marguerite, and Uncle Baker seemed to have realized his wife had been stolen, so he stopped contacting them out of despair.
"Missing persons cases? I don't recall Alyssa reporting anything," Eddie Cai said, looking at the tablet with confusion.
"Yes, there are. Modesty published the article under Alyssa's name," Sherry explained.
Modesty was the daughter of the reporter Alyssa Ashcroft, who escaped Raccoon City with Eddie Cai that year, and she was also a woman who loved being a famous reporter.
The Uncrowned King—it sounded cool, especially the feeling of using public opinion warfare to gain an advantage and manipulate netizens at will; that feeling was incredibly wonderful.
"I see. No wonder I didn't know. Hey, maybe we'll run into some strange bioweapon monster this time!" Eddie Cai smiled. E-Mold? He was just going to rescue Zoe, and E-Mold was outdated, old man!
Chapter 640: A Daughter is Better Than a Female Bodyguard
The organization responsible for handling this matter was the Blue Umbrella Security Company, which was preparing to enter the public eye. It was composed of former Umbrella Corporation employees and intended to eradicate the bioweapons they had created.
The leader was Wesker, and what was originally blocking the path here were mysterious and unpredictable Molded monsters.
Wesker was currently flying to the Western Federation with his son Jack to ask the Joint Organization for money. The ability to produce pure strain serum vaccines was more reliable than Eddie Cai's vaccine.
It wasn't that Eddie Cai lacked skill, but that he had no intention of putting his heart and soul into making a vaccine.
Making vaccines was only for money; creating a permanent solution vaccine was impossible.
The only permanent solution was constantly evolving humanity; no vaccine could provide eternal defense.
Wesker's and Jack's blood contained a unique component that could be used to create a serum, which could then eliminate most viruses, and effectively clear even mutated strains.
This was why Wesker left the Blue Umbrella Company's Special Forces Team near Baker Farm and went to find his son himself.
Anyway, Blue Umbrella Corporation was responsible for solving the problems in this area, and since there was no specific deadline, they could take their time.
Dragging this out one day at a time meant one extra day of funding—wouldn't spending that on clubbing and models be wonderful? Well, he was a sly old fox!
"Lisa, I need you to do something for me. Go check on Zoe, make sure she's safe, and stabilize her condition. I'll be over later." Eddie Cai stepped off the plane and, instead of going to Baker Farm, went to a hotel.
The tall Lisa frowned, looking like a female giant. "I don't want to leave you."
