Chapter 257

"I'll come with you." Claire looked determined. It wasn't that she couldn't get back to the apartment without Eddie, but her intuition told her that it was safer to stay close to Eddie.

"Fine, whatever you want. At least you're not a burden, you deserve to be Chris' sister."

"I just hope that you are not too rude to your partner in the future, I am afraid that they will not be able to control you." Eddie said jokingly.

"Of course I won't." Claire pouted cutely.

Eddie's phone vibrated, "Honey, what's wrong?"

"Darling, when are you coming back? Now that Raccoon City is about to fall, I'm afraid tonight will be our last."

"I'm apprehensive about you. Are you okay?" Jill sounded worried; she didn't want her child to grow up without a father.

"It's okay, I'm fine. I still have some business right now. Don't worry."

"If you are approached by a Stalker, don't be afraid, let Lisa handle it. Anyway, you have to be careful." Eddie reminded.

Since January had hacked into the Umbrella network, she could now track Umbrella's movements with the help of the Red Queen.

"Stalker? I'll try to pay attention to it. You have to be careful, I'll be waiting for you to come home." Jill's voice sounded very soft.

"No one in this world can kill me, hehe. That's all, I'll be back later." Eddie hung up. But he looks more serious, is what Jill said true? Raccoon City will be nuclear bombed tonight?

Eddie came out of the room. Some police officers keep retreating while attacking zombies with guns. They all look panicked.

*Sching!*

There was a whooshing sound; suddenly, a long tongue pierced the policeman's heart. Next, a loud scream resounded.

"Lickers?" Eddie raised his eyebrows. Taking out a Desert Eagle, Eddie fires while dodging another of Licker's attacks.

*Bang!*

*Bang!*

Two shots were heard. Licker's head exploded from the impact of a high-caliber gun strike.

"Thank you, thank you!" A fat cop escaped from the monster's grip while gasping for air.

"Hey, are you Eddie? Thanks for saving me. My name is Gard, I'm your fan!" Gard said enthusiastically while heavily breathing.

"You're welcome. Next time pay attention to your surroundings, and use heavy weapons to destroy them."

"If you have a bazooka, then use it. Don't save too much ammo, otherwise they will take your life."

"But the gun room is locked, and the Chief isn't in the building. What should we do?" Gard said doubtfully.

"Open it roughly, is it hard to break the lock?"

"By the way take this weapon, use it to protect the survivors. Back off if necessary, take all the survivors out of Raccoon City. On the outskirts of the city, there are military soldiers who can protect you." Eddie gave a suggestion while handing over his Desert Eagle.

When they reached the lobby, Eddie saw that Claire was chatting with Svetlana. One with red hair and the other with short, pretty blonde hair.

Only Jessica was seen standing still without speaking. She rarely talks to other people. Unless Claire and Svetlana took the initiative to talk to her, she would just stand there doing nothing all day.

When faced with her master, Jessica would laugh and act like a normal person.

"I'm back; let's go. The road ahead is a bit blocked; we'll take the underground passage for a while. We'll head out after reaching the parking lot." Eddie greeted the three women.

"Then let's go, it's really boring to stay here." Svetlana nodded as she pulled out a gun. Like Eddie, she prefers to use the modified Desert Eagle.

Apart from being smaller than submachine and assault rifles, this weapon is no less potent than other heavy weapons.

The four of them came to the center of the dungeon. There aren't many prisoners in the cells here, but there are still some zombies in the cells.

Due to an unstoppable infection, prisoners are infected and mutate into zombies. For the zombies in the cell, they will be in there forever.

At the end of the hall is an iron gate that leads to an underground parking lot. When Eddie passed a particular cell, he was surprised to see a familiar figure. That person was Benjamin, a reporter and an acquaintance of Katherine Warren.

At first, he betrayed Katherine for money. Now he is imprisoned for trying to blackmail the mayor of Raccoon City.

"Hey, didn't you leave Raccoon City a long time ago? Why are you still here?" Eddie wondered.

Benjamin was smoking in the cell; a few beer bottles were scattered around.

"Huh? Aren't you that black-hearted corporate capitalist? You here too?"

"How is it? Katherine feels good, don't you think? Haha, I didn't expect that you'd be teaming up with three other women. You're not that bad, haha." Benjamin laughed while still smoking behind the prison cell.

"Why don't you go, you look very free in there. You need to know, that this place is no longer safe." Eddie said sneeringly.

Claire frowned. She didn't like the guy in the prison cell. As far as she knew, the medicines Eddie made were cheap; even the most minor people could afford them. How could that man call his friend black-hearted?
