Serum was rushing through Eddie's veins. Even with all the preparations he had made. The pain of the fusion process was unavoidable, even in his sleep!
Although the effect of the Serum is weaker than the T-Serum used on Sergei and other test objects, the fusion process is still tricky.
Because the Serum will change the structure of the muscles, bones, and internal organs of the person who uses it. Therefore Eddie felt unstoppable pain.
If the fusion process is complete, his organs, muscles, and bones will become stronger!
Muscle fibers will become thicker, bones will become harder, and organs will be better.
Several hours had passed quickly. According to the instructions given by Eddie earlier, the door to the room began to slowly open.
A blast of cold air came out of the room.
Annette nervously entered the room with a gun.
Considering the consequences of using the Serum, Annette knew very well the results. Fusion works or dies! The worst possibility is that Eddie will turn into a Zombie.
Even though they still look like humans, Zombies are still Zombies; they have no control and act like wild animals!
From a distance, Annette said worriedly: "Eddie, are you okay? Please say something!"
Annette started pointing the gun's muzzle straight at Eddie's body, which was still lying on the ground.
On the other hand, Eddie had regained consciousness, but he still couldn't open his eyelids; he was too tired to do that. With difficulty, he said. "I'm fine; I need to rest first. I'm drained of energy, Annette."
Hearing Eddie's short answer, Annette heaved a sigh of relief; she walked over to him.
"Thank goodness, is there anything you need? Maybe a blanket to warm you up?"
Annette put aside the nervous feeling she had previously felt and immediately replaced with her sweet smile. She was pleased that her friend was okay.
"Can you give me some food? I'm so hungry right now; it's as if I've fasted for days..." Eddie asked Annette, still with his eyes closed.
"Okay, wait a minute."
A few moments later...
Annette returned to Eddie's room with the food while Eddie had moved from his position.
The man had been sitting on the chair, looking very weak.
Annette put the burgers and fries on the table. "Are you all right, Eddie? Do you need to be checked first?"
"Maybe later; I'll eat this food first."
"The weakness I feel is pretty normal, I think, you know, I feel like I've had surgery, my eyes feel really heavy, and I feel weak too."
Eddie grabbed a burger and immediately ate it voraciously, then fries and finally a sweet drink until it was all gone.
All the food and drink were finished in less than five minutes!
Annette responded with a smile; she nodded. "I understand. Back then when I gave birth to Sherry, I also felt a sense of weakness like you are experiencing now. It's really uncomfortable."
A few minutes later, Eddie's hunger was still not satisfied even after eating the entire portion. He wants more! Indeed not hunger for human flesh or some other disgusting thing...
"Thanks for your help, Annette. Then I'll go buy some other food."
"Be careful..." Annette, who saw Eddie walking a little wobbly, immediately felt worried. She tried to help stabilize Eddie's body.
"Thanks." Don't worry, I'm feeling better now." Eddie smiled at Annette.
Annette just nodded as she watched Eddie's figure begin to disappear in the hallway.
Observing Eddie's behavior after the fusion process with Serum. Annette didn't find anything suspicious happening to the man. There were no signs of turning into a Zombie or unwanted side effects.
She felt so relieved... In fact, she was more worried if Spencer found out about Eddie's breakthrough in T-Serum.
If Spencer finds out she's in cahoots with Eddie, the old man won't stand still...
