Chapter 39: Chapter 39
"Ma'am, this is the beer you ordered." A sweet waiter named Cindy Lennox approached Alyssa Ashcroft with an ordered beer.
"Thank you." Alyssa nodded as she continued to write something in her notebook.
The bar door opened in a pretty loud voice; Eddie staggered in.
Jill rushed toward Eddie as she asked worriedly. "Eddie, are you ok? You look pretty pale. "
Eddie shook his head; "No, I'm just starving."
Eddie stared at a waiter, he said. "Miss, please bring me each of the food menus here. Also, I'll pay for all the beers Jill's friend ordered!" Eddie said with a smile.
"Oh hey Eddie, the belly king has come, really just in time, hahaha."
"Thanks for the treat." Kevin greets Eddie with a smile.
"Dr. Eddie, you're really kind. Thanks." Uncle Mark also said hello while thanking him. He's been working in Umbrella for years, but he's got one of the essential critical holders to be friendly this time.
Jill smiled at Eddie's kindness. On the other hand, of course, she had felt the sudden change of her lover. Somehow Eddie became more and more 'powerful' in 'certain things.'
Alyssa, a newspaper reporter on the other side, looked at Eddie while trying to remember something. It was like trying to remember some essential things that she had forgotten.
"Who is that mean exactly? Why do I ever feel like I know him? A belly king?" Alyssa thought hard; her feelings said that she had known Eddie for such a long time. But as she thought deeper, her head became more and more aching... Her heart was also beating faster as she thought of the man.
"Have I forgotten something important?"
Alyssa said to herself, a lot of questions popped into her head.
***
To be honest, the menu at this bar isn't much, but there are still a few simple canned foods that taste pretty good. There are also potato chips, canned soybeans, and French fries.
Even so, Eddie still eats it; it's better to be complete than hungry, isn't it?
After spending almost all of the bar's food supplies, Eddie finally felt quite full.
If Eddie didn't pay for all the orders with his bank card earlier. Then the bar owner will think that this man only wants to eat for free!
Jill stared anxiously at her lover; "How do you feel? Are you still hungry, Eddie? "
Eddie smiled as he shook his head. "No, much better now."
"As for a reason I'm so starving... Earlier I swallow a pill to reduce my flatulence. It seems the effect is too strong; it makes my stomach acid increase and makes me very hungry, hahaha. "
"Next time, better be careful..." Jill groans, dissatisfied; she's apprehensive about Eddie's health.
"Don't worry about him, Jill. I'm sure this man won't die so quickly. " Kevin, join their conversation.
"Almost all Umbrella employees are reckless like this, hahaha." Kevin raised his beer glass while joking.
On the other hand, Chris felt very sad. Just now, he wanted to confess to Jill, it turns out that the girl he had a crush on has got a boyfriend! They even live in one apartment!
"Amazing..." Chris kept drinking like a beast, trying to ease the sadness he felt at this moment. The wine was very bitter, and his throat became very sore!
"Indeed, love is endless suffering..." Chris mumbled slowly, his eyes turning red.
"I just finished my new research. It's a health product; I wouldn't say what it is. Because I have a confidentiality agreement, I can't say it aloud." Eddie said to Jill, who was currently sitting next to him.
He meant the health product was nothing but a new serum he had developed.
After solving the Anti-Virus problem, Eddie successfully combined T-Virus with Anti-Virus, eliminating the 'anger' side effects that arose after using it.
After a series of experiments, Eddie confirmed that this product was ready to be used. He can make for Jill too!
Eddie injected this new serum through his veins a few hours ago. As expected, after a successful fusion, he became starving and finally showed up at this bar.
So far, there's no 'anger' or bloodthirsty taste he's ever felt before. Eddie is delighted with this; his serum is absolutely 100% perfect!
"Sir, do you work under the Umbrella company? Have certain medicines also been developed there?" Suddenly, Alyssa walked closer while asking.
"Right, why do you ask, young lady?" Eddie nodded.
"I'm just asking, that's all. By the way, if you want to be interviewed, you can contact me through this." Alyssa handed Eddie her business card, she continued. "If you want, I'll give you a separate interview; I just want to get a new story. I'm sorry if this bothers you."
"Oh, no problem, if there's time, I'll call you right away." Eddie received the business card with a nod.
Eddie thinks there's something special about this woman.
Wait, isn't this girl named Alyssa one of the civilians who escaped the Outbreak crisis?
If he's not mistaken, this woman had visited Arklay Mountains with Kurt to investigate the rumors that have spread in Raccoon City.
Eddie's eyes blinked a few times; it looks like he's got some excellent ideas.
"Ok, relax time is up; I got to go." Eddie suddenly stood up from the bar seat.
Jill doesn't know why her boyfriend's in such a hurry. She knew that this man must have something important to do. "Then I'll accompany you home." Jill grabbed Eddie's hand with her signature smile.
"Hold on!" A beautiful woman named Cindy ran closer to Eddie. After that, she handed over a card; "Sir, you forgot your bank card."
"Uh... thank you." Eddie took the card and immediately pocketed it, not forgetting to thank the beautiful woman.
