"What should we do now?" Svetlana said as she frowned. The Cliff height is over 40 meters, so it will be complicated to climb back up. In addition to the rugged cliffs, their visibility is also limited due to the lack of lighting.
"We have to find a way to get back up there. I suspect this has been planned; there must be some secret stuff hidden in that building."
Eddie said as he pressed his right arm hard. He is trying to reduce the blood flow because of his injured palm and fingers.
Svetlana came closer to Eddie, after which she took out a bandage.
"You are powerful; if it were an ordinary person, it might have broken his arm if he trying to do what you just did."
"But you're too reckless; what if you fail and end up dead? Love your life, kid."
Svetlana said sharply, her hands slowly bandaging Eddie's injured right hand.
"Hehe, it's better to die with a beautiful woman like you than to live and lose my dignity as a man," Eddie said as he rubbed his nose.
"Hmm-" Svetlana just grunted back; nonetheless, the corners of her lips looked curved.
"Anyway, don't you feel curious about the origin of my powers? I don't share this information with random people, just 'certain' people, you know." Eddie said with a big smile.
The fewer people who know about T-Serum, the better.
"Not interested. Now you have to make a decision; your little girlfriend is still waiting up there." Svetlana retorted with a sneer.
"Hey, that's rude. Is this how you repay your savior?" Eddie's seem speechless.
Svetlana suddenly lowered her head. "You don't understand, Eddie. Until I achieve my dream, I won't focus on anything else."
"I will try my best to fulfill your request. But limited in military matters, I can be your private mercenary if necessary."
Svetlana said calmly, but in her heart, she felt confused... This is all she can give as a token of her gratitude.
"Forget it- If you need help one day, contact me directly. Although I may not help much, I still believe I can protect you." Eddie said with a light smile.
Hearing that, Svetlana was immediately surprised. Had her mind been read by Eddie? "Thanks" Svetlana nodded.
Eddie knows what dreams Svetlana is struggling with. The level is too high for him to control.
The woman's dream wasn't as easy as killing zombies, but the level went into the region and the country. Indeed Eddie wasn't capable of much.
"Get on my back; I'll carry you. There's no time for love chitchat." Eddie has taken out a particular claw-shaped climbing device. It's designed to climb steep cliffs.
"Go to hell!" Svetlana snorted but didn't decline Eddie's offer. A little later, she climbed onto the man's muscular back.
***
It takes more than five minutes to get back to the top.
Svetlana gets off Eddie's back, they both start tidying up their clothes.
Not far from them, there is a magnificent old building that has been decorated with vines.
That place is nothing but an abandoned hospital!
Zombie dogs, crows, and bees that have been infected by the T-Virus are trying to attack people in the building.
The monsters looked at them as delicious food!
*Bang!*
*Bang!*
*Bang!*
Gunshots continued to be heard from the hospital building. There seems to have been a fierce battle between S.T.A.R.S. and the Zombies.
"The wisest decision we can make now is to retreat. If we want to keep moving forward, we have to get inside that building and make it our defensive wall."
Svetlana analysis what is the best course of action they should take.
"If your boyfriend were in there, would you leave him without hesitation?" Eddie suddenly asked.
"The weak man will never get into my eyes. Also, your nonsense is getting ridiculous." Svetlana frowned. She doesn't like this whole romance thing at all.
"Hahaha, no problem. I'm sure Jill and the others can handle this." Eddie smiled.
*Bang!*
*Bang!*
*Bang!*
A gunshot was also heard from another direction; it looked like an intruder tried to fight a Zombie!
At night, the Arklay mountains are where biochemical monsters are most active!
As for who the intruder was, Eddie had to make sure it was by himself.
***
On the other hand, the spies from Echo Six. Sienna and Caroline were following the S.T.A.R.S. team secretly also began to be attacked by hordes of Zombie dogs and human Zombies who had been infected by the T-Virus.
Caroline shot those monsters without hesitation.
Sienna knows well that these gunshots might expose their position, but there's no other way. If they want to live, then this is the only way! "Monster, eat my sniper bullet!" Sienna started aiming at the zombies.
In another position, Ada Wong, who couldn't resist her curiosity, finally went to follow where Eddie and the members of the Tactical Team had gone.
Ada Wong breaks through the Arklay mountain range at night using an off-road vehicle.
The vehicle has been modified. Otherwise, the glass might have been broken by Zombie.
"Damn, these monsters are endless!" Ada Wong began to swear; her calm temper had been replaced by anger.
Pulling out her gun, she immediately blew up the Zombie's head, trying to grab the car door.
Eddie, who had rushed towards the sound of the shot, finally saw two of Echo Six members.
Eddie quickly huddled the zombies with the help of his Night Vision.
"Fire in the hole!" Eddie screamed as he threw two grenades at the hordes of Zombies.
*Boom!*
*Boom!*
Both grenades exploded at the same time. The impact of the explosion killed the hordes of Zombies.
"Hey, handsome man. We met again." Sienna greeted Eddie with a stiff smile as if she had been caught red-handed.
Since there's nothing left to hide, she welcomes the man with open arms.
