Chapter 199:


    Katherine opened her eyes from a long sleep. Previously she had a bad dream. She dreamed that she was abandoned by her father; besides that, there were cases of cannibalism in the whole Roon city, and the whole city became like hell.


    She even saw Brian kill other people for taxidermy!


    All this frightened her; when she woke up, she immediately felt cold, as if she was in a secret room.


    But strangely, she felt better, healthier, and much more substantial.


    "Okay,e out, you''re fine now." Eddie''s voice came from outside the fusion device.


    Katherine stepped out of the fusion device with a confused expression. She felt starving; she immediately devoured all the food prepared for her.


    Eddie asked, "Why are you trying to protect me?"


    Honestly, without even dodging, Eddie was able to stop the bullet. In addition, Jessica and Lisa can block it without receiving any injury.


    Being saved by a weak woman alone was strange, especially when he didn''t need protection.


    Katherine shook her head. "You are already miserable enough; at least you are more useful than me. Your life is more valuable than mine!"


    Eddie replied, "You also said that everything has a beautiful side. At least you are still my friend."


    "Well, it is good that now you''ve recovered. I specifically used a method that makes you stronger. You can try your newer power slowly."


    "Besides, don''t do other stupid things;e to me and ask if you have something you need." Eddie shook his head; this one woman was unfortunate fate.


    Katherine seemed to be thinking about something, "Then I''ll move in and live with you. With you, you can definitely take care of me; oh, I can cook good food too!"


    "Alright, whatever you want. I still have business I need to do, you have to be careful."


    "As a friend, I advise you not to feel sorry for any infected cannibals. At least they are no longer human."


    "I don''t want to hear news of your death." Eddie tried to remind her. Eddie couldn''t be rude to a woman who had been kind to him. He''s a man who knows what goodness is.


    Katherine looked at Eddie, "Do you know anything about a recent case?"


    "Yeah, I''m also a drug researcher after all. With their current state, there''s no chance of saving them. You have to listen to me, be careful, if you don''t have any business then don''t leave the house." Eddie reminded.


    "Okay, I trust you. We''re friends, right? Actually, I don''t know what to do. Now that school is off too, days are getting pretty boring." Katherine suddenly said, smiling. She felt baffled, at least no direction for now.


    "Why not be a good housewife?" Eddie said without much thought.


    "Hmph, you said it. Don''t take your words back." Katherine suddenly stretched out her little finger.


    Eddie saw this with a chuckle, was that girl so childish? To be honest, he acts like that sometimes, too, "Okay, I promise. I''ll take you home; I still have things to do now."


    "I know; I''ll cook some food for you when you get back." Katherine smiled brightly.


    Eddie felt so helpless; why did things turn out like this? He doesn''t need a new home chef; after all, Jessica, Lisa, and Svena love to cook something for him; there''s Ada Wong too!


    But hey, adding new members is fine too.


    ***


    Roon City police department, Eddie is back to meet the people there. He came with donuts, pizza, juice, and chips package.


    At this time, the police station was bustling, and every member of the police greeted Eddie with a smile.


    Since the tactical rescue team had been disbanded, Eddie''s status in the police force was now just that of an ordinary officer. Frankly, he came here just to y around.


    "There have been violent incidents in the north with people with cannibalistic tendencies. Officers needed, officers needed!" A hasty call came as if the situation had be more urgent.


    "Looks like I''ll be busy once again. See youter, Eddie!" Kevin took his gun and rushed out. His current job is to deal with any issues regarding the violence.


    There seemed to be more and more attacks appearing recently. Even the infection has spread northward. If not addressed immediately, then arge-scale mutation event will ur!


    "There''s been a lot of cases like this recently, I don''t know what strange disease they have. Eddie, do you know anything about this?"


    A policewoman approached while asking. That woman was one of the survivors of the Roon city crisis!


    "This disease is very step-by-step. Kinda like rabies, you know? Rabies still has no cure, only prevention. If I get more funding, maybe I can develop some antibody vine, but that won''t help much. But it will earn me some ie; what do you think, Rita?" Eddie answered while greeting the beautiful policewoman back.


    "That''s true, hehe, but aren''t you already wealthy? Have you run out of money by treating us to a lot of food every day?" Rita smiled sweetly.


    "Not too much, not even one percent of my ie. Haha, after all money is there to be spent, if money is useless, then why collect it?" Eddieughed.


    At this moment, a Sheriff came over, his face very serious. That sheriff is Marvin! "Eddie, chieff wants to see you. Rita will be finishing your assignment for a while, anyway, thanks for your gift of food this afternoon." Marvin said hello.


    "You''re wee." Eddie nodded, after which he walked towards the Chief''s office.


    Jessica and Lisa followed behind him; so far, no one thought it was strange. Except for their tall stature, everyone looked at them the same as normal humans.


    It was customary for rich people to hire a bodyguard. But why is the bodyguard a woman?


    Immediately, Eddie came towards the office. He saw Brian sitting in a chair smoking a cigar, "Would you like one too?"


    "No, I don''t really like cigarettes. Is something wrong?" Eddie said coldly.


    "The reporter named Benjamin said he had been working for you." Brian''s eyes gleamed sharply.


    "Oh, you believe his bullshit?" Eddie said, bored.


    The man''s calm demeanor made Brian suspicious.


    "Why, don''t believe me?" Eddie said; he continued, "Didn''t I tell you? Never bet on both sides; if you''re overwhelmed, it costs your life."


    "Even if you got all that wealth, you won''t be able to use it when you die, don''t you think?" Eddie said with a sneer.
