After leaving the Umbrella building, Eddie finally felt relieved; the pressure exerted by a monster like Sergei was too great.
Eddie can only be polite for now; when the opportunity presents itself, seize the chance from behind the scenes!
Wait for the other party to die first. After that, blow up all the scandals the other party has ever done; that way, he can gain another advantage! It's a perfect plan.
***
Thinking about what had happened yesterday, Eddie was a little reluctant to return to the laboratory, at least for now. He didn't know how to deal with Annette; I hope she wasn't mad.
Eddie needed to find a solution first; however, going to the lab later wouldn't be too late.
***
Eddie headed to the place where Michael had promised his helicopter; behind an unused building, there was a helicopter that stood majestically with beautiful propellers.
The helicopter is Eddie's guarantee of safety when the Raccoon city crisis occurs.
Eddie checks the helicopter, trying to see if there is any problem or not. But it turned out that the plane had no issues; he had tested it. Briefly, everything was fine, and the engine was ready to use whenever Eddie wanted to escape from Raccoon City.
*Beep!*
*Beep!*
*Beep!*
Eddie's cell phone started vibrating while making a repeated beep; Eddie picked up the phone; a few moments later, a feminine voice came from the caller. "Why haven't you come to the lab yet? Don't you dare face the trouble you did yesterday?" The caller was none other than Annette Birkin; her voice sounded nonchalant, making Eddie swallow a little.
"Are you okay? I'm currently preparing something for you..." Eddie tried to comfort Annette.
"I'm fine; I didn't tell William what happened yesterday, so you can calm down."
"You'd better get back to the lab immediately; if you don't come, it's likely to make others suspicious. So hurry up." Annette said still in the same manner, her tone was cold, but there was something odd about the tempo of her voice.
"Alright, I'll be back later, now I still have a business to do." Eddie pondered for a moment; after thinking for a while, he finally sighed; it looks like he can't keep away; men have to face what they have done!
***
An hour later, Eddie had arrived at the lab; as soon as he entered his private room, he was greeted by the figure of Annette sitting on a chair. Since she was still not fully healed, Annette looked weaker than usual.
"So, what do you want to say?" Annette asked without blinking; she looked at Eddie coldly.
Eddie reached for a bag containing the food he had bought on the trip.
Grilled chicken wings, burgers, and fresh fruit juices. "I didn't know what to give you, so I bought you this. I hope you forgive me." Eddie continued. "Earlier, I warned you, at that time, my emotions really couldn't be controlled... If you still don't forgive me, then I'll leave the results of my personal research to you."
"You are my friend, so I don't want to destroy this relationship." Eddie apologized earnestly. He looked very sorry for what had happened earlier.
On the other hand, Annette just snorted, then took out a cigarette and lit it. Because she's not a smoker, plus it's her first time. Annette started coughing after inhaling the cigarette smoke.
"I don't want your research data; you think your research is good for me?"
Eddie replied, shaking his head. "I know that G-Serum is better than T-Serum, but when it comes to stability. Then Dr. William won't be able to match the Serum I've developed."
"Speaking of Serum, do you know who I have met today?" Eddie suddenly said.
"Who you met today has nothing to do with me... Who have you met?"
Annette sucked the cigarette once more, trying to calm the inner turmoil she was currently experiencing.
Not long after, several coughs escaped her mouth.
Eddie could only sigh; 'This woman... Obviously, she wants to know, but she acts like she doesn't want to know.'
"I met Sergei."
"Sergei?"
"Yes, he asked about Dr. William. I said I only met and studied with you all this time."
"Are you betraying us?" Annette suddenly asked, her eyes narrowed.
"Of course not; if I betrayed you, I wouldn't have come to see you this time. What'd I tell you? I am a good friend who will not betray you." Eddie smiled sincerely.
Eddie himself is a man who always keeps his promises; if he says he will never betray someone, then he will never cross that person. What's more for Annette...
Annette nodded her head after throwing away and extinguishing the cigarette top that didn't seem to have decreased in the slightest, she said. "Do you know professor Greg Mueller? A former senior researcher who previously worked at Umbrella?"
Hearing the unfamiliar name, Eddie shook his head. "No, what does that man have to do with us?"
"He is an expert who has studied biochemical weapons. In short, that man is an expert man who has developed Anti Virus for T-Virus."
"If in the future we are exposed to the T-Virus, we will most likely need the Anti-Virus."
Annette explains the origins of Greg Mueller, a genius professor who had worked under Umbrella.
"You want me to take the Anti Virus?" Eddie asked, frowning.
Annette nodded. "Not taking, but testing it. By the way, that man has taken the training of a cadre, so you should be more careful."
"As for where he is now, I don't know myself."
"What I'm trying to say is, maybe you need Anti Virus as well as the man's records to solve your personal Serum problem."
Hearing Annette's explanation, Eddie began to think his Serum defects would undoubtedly be a problem in the future.
Come to think of it, isn't Dr. Mueller is also a developer of the Thanatos project? The Thanatos he designed was the most vital type if I'm not mistaken. However, Thanatos' intelligence was a bit questionable, but in terms of control... Nothing can match it.
As for why the Thanatos developed by Dr. Mueller died, this is none other than the Anti Virus shot. Suppose it wasn't for the Anti Virus fired at the monster. In that case, it's most likely that Dr. Mueller's Thanatos will turn into unstoppable!
"You may be right, but I can still rely on company data to create my own version of Anti Virus, but I still appreciate your advice." Eddie smiled at Annette.
Annette just snorted back. "Umbrella will not give you the data easily, every data is an important asset, and it is also very closely guarded! I'm afraid you will die before you even develop your own Anti Virus. So don't overthink." After saying that, Annette left accompanied by the rhythmic sound of high heels.
Eddie, who saw Annette's attitude, could only smile wryly. 'You woman, always refuse to admit the facts...' But Eddie liked Annette's perspective, so he just shrugged his shoulders.
Since there was no business in this lab, Eddie decided to leave while asking Sergei for Anti Virus information.
'Hopefully, it won't raise any suspicion.'
