"No, no, become a god? Rule the world? There's no point in ruling this world; as long as we can live forever is enough."
Eddie said, seriously, rule the world? He didn't want his wife to be a madwoman ready to launch a war at any moment. It's really unpleasant to see combat; it's better to avoid it!
"What are we gonna do then? Also, live forever? You think carbon-based life like ours can live forever?"
A hint of doubt crossed Alex's mind.
Hearing Alex's question, Eddie confidently said. "Yes, immortality is possible. Most people don't think this will work; their thoughts are 'how to prolong life?'. And they forgot the important thing, which is Cancer cells!"
Eddie took a particular cigarette, after which he inhaled and puffed out some smoke.
"Human cells have multiple divisions. After being used a few times, the cells will age and eventually die!"
"But cancer cells are different; cancer cells have no limits on division! As long as certain criteria are met, cancer cells will continue to grow indefinitely!"
"Of course, immortality is attainable."
Eddie spoke his great thoughts.
On the other hand, Alex, who heard this, immediately blinked, her eyes starting to glow with excitement.
"My dear, you are indeed brilliant. To be honest, I was skeptical about immortality at first. Still, you have opened my eyes and ushered me into a new world!"
"I might be able to start research on these cancer cells."
Alex's eyes continued to flicker as her soft lips curved like a crescent moon.
"Hehe, of course."
Eddie smiled back.
"For all the effort I've put in, will you give me a little 'Reward'?"
Eddie immediately asks for 'profit' from his girlfriend, Alex, seeing the opportunity.
Alex blinked a few times.
"Okay, your beautiful sister will give you a gift; I hope your kidneys can survive."
Alex immediately grabbed Eddie's hand and pulled him into her private room without giving Eddie a chance.

A week later, more and more news of people disappearing around the Arklay mountains appears on television, many travelers losing their lives mysteriously.
Some people have even testified that they saw 'people' who had lost some of their body parts walking around with tremendous and scary movements. Especially when they bit animals and ate them raw. Their appearance was disgusting.
The television station in Raccoon City had also broadcast this news; it had been making headlines for the past few days.
Many residents living in Raccoon City asked the police to immediately investigate this case and told them not to be lazy.

In the lobby. Where the team gathers.
Team Alpha, as well as Team Bravo, have been combined into a single Team. Albert Wesker became the commander of this joint team.
"Hello Jill, how are you? This damn environment is really taking a turn for the worse; my sister said she wants to come to visit over the next summer."
"I tried not to make her come here. I was worried something was going to happen to her, you know, a lot of people went missing and died recently too."
The person who spoke was Chris Redfield, a protagonist in this world.
Jill sighed; she knew what her friend was worried about. She could only shake her head as she replied. "I have witnessed with my own eyes that it is true that some scary monsters are roaming around the Arklay mountains, but no one wants to believe me."
"Even the Chief didn't believe my testimony. Instead, he told me that I should strengthen my relationship with a man named Eddie. He wants the rich to be on our side, you know, long-term investment..."
"That bastard... Don't listen to him. Also, you better not go near that guy named Eddie." Chris replied with dissatisfaction.
"No, no. It's not Eddie I'm concerned about; he's a nice guy after all."
"I just wanted to find out what had happened around the Arklay mountains, especially I'm worried for Eddie's safety who lives nearby."
Jill said worriedly; she had considered Eddie as a good friend after all. Frankly speaking, when talking about that man, her heart was beating faster a little bit for some reason.
"Jill, you don't have a crush on that guy, don't you?" Chris asked with a suspicious expression; he didn't want to admit this in his heart. After all, Jill was the woman he had a crush on at the moment.
On the other hand, Jill was surprised by Chris' sudden question. She waved her hand a few times while replying with a bit of embarrassment.
"What are you talking about? The two of us are just friends... Pretty close friends. By the way, our training is about to start; let's gather!"
Chris looked at Jill, who suddenly left in a hurry, in his heart he felt a terrible taste, his heart said that Jill, his love, would be snatched away!
It seems that the wheel of life is turning in a different direction.
