Resident Evil: Eddie

Chapter 52

Late at night, in a luxurious apartment.

Svetlana looked at the view of the city lights from behind the window.

Somehow, she felt bad after she set foot in this city.

One month ago, the Umbrella suddenly called her. They want her to train the Raccoon City Tactical Team.

She was also given a special mission by Alex to protect Eddie for three months. In return, Alex promised to help her with what she would do in the future. So Svetlana didn't decline the offer.

*Ding Dong!*

The doorbell sounded; Eddie, who just wanted to rest with Jill, was suddenly awakened by it. 'Who the hell comes to visit at this late hour?' Eddie walked to the door with a compulsion to see who was actually coming to visit.

Opening the apartment door, a woman with pink work clothes was seen. The woman had short blond hair, her ponytail covered her right eye.

That woman is none other than a beautiful reporter named Alyssa Ashcroft!

"Good night, Mr. Eddie. I'm Alyssa Ashcroft, a reporter for the Raccoon City newspaper."

Alyssa said hello.

Eddie seems confused; what does this beautiful reporter want to do in his apartment at night?

"Ah, you were at the bar before, right? It's so late; how can I help you?"

Eddie asked.

"May I come inside?" Alyssa made a request.

"Sure, but don't do 'anything' unnecessary, ok? I already have a girlfriend." Eddie said jokingly, after which he allowed Alyssa to enter the apartment.

"I don't mind even if you already have a girlfriend," Alyssa responds with a smile. If the other side can joke, then she can too! Who wouldn't dare? Not her, of course.

Inside, Jill, who saw the arrival of another woman, felt a little confused. Why would a woman visit her boyfriend at this hour?

Also, she looks beautiful!

"Jill, this is Alyssa, a reporter for the Raccoon City newspaper."

"Alyssa, this is Jill, my girlfriend." Eddie introduced both briefly.

"Hello..." Jill and Alyssa shake hands with each other. Both clutching each other's hands, an aura of hostility emerged from both of them.

Eddie poured a cup of coffee, then gave it to the pretty reporter. "Ok, Alyssa, can you explain your purpose why you come here?"

Alyssa replied as she pulled out her notebook. "Earlier, I had collected data from every incident in the Arklay mountains. I got that data from every citizen who ever set foot there. "

Jill is more curious; an untrained woman like her who dares to investigate a serious problem like this is worth a thumbs-up.

"I have also interviewed some of the survivors of the various incidents. Almost everyone remembers the terrifying experience; some say that a dog attacked a pedestrian. And some say that they see a very terrible human figure!" Alyssa says; the data is the result of her investigation.

Eddie nodded. Admiring the reporter's hard work.

"Also, I heard that a man was living in an abandoned hospital building in the forest area of Arklay."

"It is said that the man likes to carry large axes and likes to chase after people who trespass the area." Alyssa's expression turned even more severe.

"If what you say is true, then the events in Arklay Mountain are connected with that ax-man!" Jill issued her opinion. After that, she looked at Eddie.

"I want to make sure it's with my own eyes. But I can't go alone, I know that this is very dangerous, so I wanted to ask you for help." At last, Alyssa told her true purpose.

"I see... I'll try to consult with Chief Brian first." Eddie nodded.

"You're not trying to lie to me, right?" Alyssa said in a skeptical tone, a lot of 'policemen' said this; in the end, they forgot their promises.

As Eddie's lover, Jill was unhappy when the honesty of her lover was in doubt. "Don't ramble; Eddie is a very responsible man. He'll keep his promise! "

Alyssa crossed her arms, she put on a suspicious expression; "Really? Then I'll wait and see..."

Alyssa Ashcroft

The next day, Eddie went to see Sergei, "I got word from a reporter; she said that there was an abandoned hospital building in the Arklay forest area."

"It seems that there are people still living there, most likely related to the leak of the T-Virus experiment."

"So, what do you want to do?" Sergei asked while playing with the knife.

His relationship with Eddie can be said to be neutral. At least Spencer can still use this young man as his pawn.

As long as Eddie doesn't betray Umbrella, Sergei won't try to hurt or kill Eddie.

"I plan to go there with the S.T.A.R.S. Team, at the same time, I want to find out if there's a new type of biochemical weapon in there." Eddie said with a severe expression.

"Oh... You look like you really want to go to that dangerous place. Why try so hard?" Sergei asked back.

"Of course, to collect data! The new weapons data will significantly help the company, plus I want more bonus money for my future wedding expenses."

"By the way, what does uncle Sergei think about polygamy?" Eddie suddenly asked him a strange question.

Hearing Eddie's question, Sergei immediately felt suffocated. He's an imperfect T-serum user; one side effect is making him into a eunuch.

The serum isn't the same as the one Eddie used.

"I don't know; you can try to find out for yourself." Sergei snorted; how dare someone to discuss this topic in front of a man who no longer has his manhood. Did Eddie deliberately ask this to mock him?

"Sure."

"Uncle Sergei, can you call Chief Brian? Please let him know that I'm taking the S.T.A.R.S. team to explore the Arklay forest." Eddie asked Sergei for help.

"Alright. I'll let Brian know later. "

"You can go now."

Eddie nodded. Maybe Eddie's mission could distract the public; public pressure on Umbrella isn't too good either. So Sergei immediately approved Eddie's request.

Also, the latest project is still being worked on in the laboratory; it will take quite some time to complete. That newest project is none other than the Talos project!

"Marcus... With me, you have nothing to fear or worry about; whoever dares to provoke you, I will solve it personally..."

Sergei snorted. His hand clenched, squashing the sharp knife he'd previously played with.

The previously sharp and hard blade has been ripped into an iron ball.

Although Sergei's hands received scratches and were also bleeding, the scratches closed themselves and healed at a fast rate.
