"Eddie, do you know them?" Claire asked curiously.
"Those people are under the Countermeasure Service's Biohazard unit. Most of the members are death row convicts, but there are also mercenaries and retired soldiers."
"They used public money to help eliminate the bio-catastrophe. Most of them didn't have a hand in this mess, but there are some who remain guilty." Eddie explained, "No need to talk about them, we still have our own business."
"You know quite a lot." Claire nodded with a smile. Since those people had no intention of harming the civilians, there was no need for Claire to stop them.
"He really knows a lot of things, you will find out later." Svetlana joined in the praise. Even though Eddie wasn't the most handsome or smart man she'd ever met, it was him that fascinated her.
Walking along the route, they finally arrived at Kendo's weapon shop. So far, no zombies have been seen roaming this area; they must have been cleared by Kendo with his gun.
In the distance, Eddie saw Kendo's figure holding a machine gun. Eddie greeted, "Hey Kendo. I came here to pick up Emma, is she all right?" Eddie greeted excitedly.
Kendo nodded while patting the man's shoulder; he acted like a father-in-law. "Not bad; you still want to come to get Emma at a critical time like this. You deserve her; with this, I won't be worried if I leave her to you."
What's with Kendo's drastic change in attitude? But hey, it's good for Eddie.
"Cough. Kendo, are you feeling dizzy? What do you mean? I don't understand." Eddie coughed a few times to ease his embarrassment.
"By the way Kendo, this is Claire, Chris' sister." Eddie briefly introduced Claire to Kendo.
"You know, Chris used to brag to me a lot that his sister was really good at guns. Now that I've seen it in person, I can tell at a glance that Claire really is an expert." Kendo nodded several times.
"Emma is in the underground room, she's still busy with her own business. She said she was trying to work on a small high-powered gun for you. Look, look how much my daughter cares for you. If you dare let her down... I'll hit you with this hammer." Kendo walked over to the shelf and picked up the hammer while smiling evilly.
Eddie broke out in a sweat. This father-in-law is indeed very scary.
When he enters the shop, Eddie finds that all the guns have disappeared and are not in the rack. "Hey, are you planning to move? Where are all your weapons?"
"No, I'm distributing my weapons to the locals, so they can take care of themselves. This is what I can do." Kendo said with a sad expression; he is sad because many of his good neighbors have turned into zombies.
"I advise you to get out of here immediately. Don't you have a vehicle? You can use my car." Eddie suggested.
"I know, I've been planning that too. It's just that I'm still waiting for Barry, he'll be here soon. As for Emma, I'll leave it to you, the girl said she'll be leaving when you pick her up." Kendo shook his head.
"But remember, don't try to toy her." Once again, Kendo narrowed his eyes.
"Is Barry the only one going with you?" Eddie asked suspiciously.
"He said that someone else would be coming. But I don't know who they are. Barry is very stubborn."
"By the way, Moira is also in the basement. You can pick them up yourself; I'll be waiting for Barry to come here." Kendo waved his hand; he didn't want to chat with his son-in-law anymore.
Eddie, Claire, and Svetlana walk into the underground room, the room where Kendo often assembles his weapons.
As they walked, Claire inexplicably quipped at Eddie, "You're so popular. I was surprised that he would hand over his daughter to you."
"Well, maybe it's because of Emma's twenty-year contract. That guy must have misunderstood." Eddie smirked, thinking about the contract; he felt very happy.
"Twenty years? It must be a long time. Hehe, maybe I'll apply for a job at your company in the future." Claire smiled sweetly.
"If our relationship goes well, I will definitely give you the best contract."
"Also, sometimes I wonder..." Eddie said.
"Wonder what?" Claire asked curiously.
"Sometimes I wonder if you would look prettier with short hair, just like Svetlana." Eddie remembered the mature version of Claire, the short hair, the elegant and youthful appearance. That woman looks really charming!
"Hey, don't think anything of me. I might beat you up." Svetlana waved her small fist.
When the three of them reached the basement, it was seen that Moira was busy writing something while Emma was busy installing spare parts.
"Ahh~ it's finally over. How tiring!"
"Eh, Eddie? Why are you here?" Moira wiped her sweat as she greeted Eddie, who suddenly appeared.
"Eddie, did you come here? Sorry, I was just looking at my cell phone; I didn't know you were trying to make a lot of calls. I was quite busy, so I didn't notice." Emma plays with her short hair.
"I heard you two are researching a new weapon?" Eddie walked over, wanting to check the gun on the table.
It was a gun similar to an assault rifle, only smaller.
"Yes, this is an electromagnetic gun. I designed it according to the weapon sister Svetlana gave me. You can try it, it's pretty good." Emma took the gun and gave it to Eddie.
Eddie took it and checked it carefully. The weapon was different from what he had imagined.
Coming out of the underground room, Eddie wanted to try the gun. Facing the car fifty yards away, Eddie flipped the switch with Emma's help. Aiming with certainty, then he pulled the trigger.
*Bang!*
The bullet with blue light flew out and hit the car for fifty meters with accuracy. The car exploded with a single shot!
"What kind of gun is this?" Eddie asked, filled with admiration and confusion. Was this really the electromagnetic weapon he had dreamed of?
Emma said proudly, "This is a small electromagnetic weapon I created. The bullet will be accompanied by a very strong current. When this current hits an object, it will cause the gunpowder in the bullet to explode even more strongly!"
"But this weapon is very dangerous to use, so you have to be careful."
"Hmm, so you're treating me as a guinea pig? What if this thing suddenly exploded in my hand?" Eddie said with a smile.
"Who said you were a guinea pig? You did have to take part in making this weapon. Hmph, this is called weapon testing." Emma said sulkily while baring her little tiger teeth. She tried to look fierce, but she ended up being even cuter.
"Well, you managed to make a very good weapon. I look forward to more optimized handheld weapons in the future."
"Since you have worked under me... Don't worry, from now on I will take good care of you." Eddie nodded solemnly.
"Who wants you to look after me? Hmph, you stink." Emma immediately put her emotions aside, but she still looked quite proud.
She immediately prepared and packed all her belongings; she would immediately evacuate because her task was done.
