Target: Rockfort Island

readx();

After Tang Tian had made arrangements for Umbrella, Umbrella still did not get involved in Hydra and Captain America's affairs. Instead, he took a helicopter with Hunk as the USS captain, preparing to head to Rockfort Island in Antarctica to obtain a Veronica sample. Umbrella's two core forces were the USS recovery units and the UBCS Umbrella Biohazard Countermeasure Service. Together, the two forces numbered over two million worldwide.

"In an ant colony's ecosystem, every colony has a queen ant. All the other soldier ants and male ants are merely her servants. If the queen needs them, they will not hesitate to sacrifice their lives for her. If the Veronica Virus succeeds, then I will possess that kind of power and rule the world."

"Tang, isn't this exactly what we have pursued together? To become beings like gods." As they neared Rockfort Island, Tang Tian recalled the words of Alexia, the beautiful genius who had become a prodigy at the age of twelve.

"Boss, we're almost at the target location." Hunk looked at Tang Tian, who was lost in his memories, and reminded him.

"Alright, I understand. What is the situation on Rockfort Island? There hasn't been a T-virus biohazard outbreak, has there?" Tang Tian asked doubtfully as they neared their destination. Rockfort Island had suffered a T-virus outbreak in Resident Evil, which was why he was concerned.

"No, Boss. Everything is normal. According to Alfred, the person in charge of Rockfort Island, everything is fine. He also wants to meet you," Hunk said thoughtfully.

"Alright, I understand. Prepare to land," Tang Tian said sternly.

Darkness gradually descended, while a light rain relentlessly lashed the earth. Unlike the blazing Second World War elsewhere, Rockfort Island was developing rapidly. War could bring peace to other places; just like Umbrella, which had seized the opportunity created by the wartime demand for all kinds of medicine and developed vigorously, allowing it to rise swiftly.

Has he come? My sister was right. He came to fulfill the agreement and take the Veronica Virus. Hearing the helicopter's arrival, Alfred, the commander, thought with mixed emotions. The current Alfred was not the schizophrenic patient from Resident Evil. Moreover, Alexia had only injected the Veronica Virus a year ago, and Alfred had a fairly favorable impression of his brother-in-law. Tang Tian's strength and scheming were both exceptional.

Veronica was Alexia's masterpiece when she was twelve. It was a powerful virus created by fusing the Progenitor Virus with queen ant genes and combining it with plant DNA. It could cause biological individuals to mutate and even reshape ecosystems. Compared with the G-virus's powerful yet destructive evolutionary nature, Veronica caused the least damage to the human body during modification. Infected subjects retained basic intelligence and some human consciousness, preserving large amounts of memory. There had even been cases of humans recovering all their consciousness and intelligence after ordinary infection.

The Veronica Virus was first tested on Alexia's own father. Although it failed, Alexia discovered the reason for the failure and began a long fifteen-year fusion process through cryogenic hibernation.

Furthermore, the various Bio Organic Weapons developed on the basis of the Veronica Virus were even more dangerous than biological weapons infected with the T-virus. The most common changes in Veronica-infected subjects included increased physical hardness, highly activated cells, faster reactions, enhanced vitality, and stronger regenerative abilities. In addition, infected subjects generally produced a special toxin that reacted with the air and vaporized. It was highly lethal to living organisms and required a special serum for detoxification. In highly assimilated infected subjects, the virus could also combine with their blood, reacting with the air to ignite and explode. These were all reasons Tang Tian wanted it. Veronica truly was an exceptionally rare stable virus.

"What a nostalgic place. Alexia, you did not disappoint me. You really succeeded with the Veronica Virus in less than a year," Tang Tian said with emotion as he stepped onto Rockfort Island and breathed in the primitive air around him.

"Boss, welcome to Rockfort Island." At the entrance to a large villa, Alfred Ashford respectfully greeted Tang Tian as though he were family. The current Alfred was not the idiotic chuunibyou from Code: Veronica. Since his sister had fused with Veronica, Alfred had become very lonely. And because he and his sister had grown up alongside Tang Tian, it was not an exaggeration to call Tang Tian Alfred's family.

Looking at Alfred, dressed in European aristocratic formalwear at the villa entrance, his blond hair combed impeccably, Tang Tian said with feeling, "Very good. You look much more spirited. The Ashford family truly is full of elites." Afterward, Tang Tian entered the villa's office, while the USS rested and reorganized nearby. As a recovery and combat force, the USS was extremely powerful and experienced in battle, making them highly effective at protecting important Umbrella personnel. Tang Tian also planned to inject all of them with an enhancer combining the Super-Soldier Serum and T-virus in the future, raising their strength.

"You know very well why I came this time. You know what I need, right? It is time to fulfill our agreement," Tang Tian said bluntly to Alfred the moment he entered the villa office.

"Yes, I understand. The Veronica Virus samples, along with the research materials and experimental data on the various Bio Organic Weapons we created, have already been prepared. These are the things you required under our agreement." Alfred sighed. He felt that he could never return to how things had been before.

"Very good. You have done well. The Veronica Virus is the best virus sample I have obtained. So, what reward do you want?" Tang Tian asked Alfred with a smile.

"I think you already know what I need. You know about my sister's and my origins," Alfred said calmly.

"Then I understand. Come with me. Once your sister awakens, we will come back for her," Tang Tian said with a smile, though he had other thoughts as well. Keeping Alfred by his side would not be bad. Alfred should experience the Second World War too; it would not do for him to remain a shut-in forever. Thinking of the Alfred in Code: Veronica, who had completely become a useless clown, Tang Tian felt speechless.

Overall, this operation was a great success. This time, he had moved Alfred through familial affection. Tang Tian would soon go see Alexander, his father-in-law infected with the Veronica Virus. His plan also required Alexander's body tissue. The Veronica Bio Organic Weapons produced on Rockfort Island had been created using a virus sample Alexia left behind and material extracted from Alexander. Tang Tian still wanted to meet this monster. Perhaps after obtaining Naruto's Impure World Reincarnation, he could revive Alexander's soul and allow him to be reborn in another form.

Tang Tian had also come this time to see whether any characters from Resident Evil were present. If there were, it would prove that Alice or Leon would also exist, and that the causal points had not completely erased these protagonist-like figures. Over the next few days, Tang Tian began carrying out the things he wanted to do on Rockfort Island.

PS: I will write more about the Antarctica operation and keep the pacing as slow as possible. Please give more support—recommendations, favorites, and tips are all welcome.
