"Wesker, you did well this time. As your reward, the Paris branch is yours." Tang Tian smiled at the blood samples Wesker had obtained, satisfied with his performance this time.

In fact, while Wesker had been fighting Black King and collecting the blood of Black King and Magneto, Tang Tian, far away at Umbrella headquarters in New York City, had already learned the results through Red Queen. Once Wesker completed the mission and returned to New York City with the samples, Tang Tian had already decided on his reward: the Paris branch. It was necessary to give Wesker some benefits as well. Although Wesker's loyalty was quite reliable after being modified with causality points, he still needed motivation to keep advancing. For example, the Perfect Ouroboros Virus in Resident Evil had been developed by Wesker.

"Understood. I'll do it well," Wesker said coolly, though he was quite pleased inside. Tang Tian's generosity and deep scheming both suited Wesker's tastes.

"All right, go." Tang Tian spoke casually. Wesker nodded and left the bio-weapons laboratory.

During the six months of World War II, Umbrella had developed extremely quickly. Its capital had rapidly increased through the sale of medicine and weapons, while the number of Umbrella's infiltrated agents in various countries continued to grow. Since crossing over, Tang Tian had focused most on developing bio-weapons. He already possessed enhanced versions of Lickers, Tyrants, Nemeses, and other bio-weapons. The T-virus killer bees and Plant 42 from Resident Evil 0 were also viable options for production. In terms of high-tech weapons, however, they were still relatively weak. They only had electromagnetic weapons, laser weapons, medium-sized space warships, and robots could not be produced due to the lack of high-tech weapons data.

As for Tang Tian's first occupied colony, Planet of the Apes, three months in the real world equaled fifty years in the colony. Part of Planet of the Apes was now used as a base for bio-weapons and high-tech military weapons, while large quantities of Sun Staircase plants were cultivated there. After all, both the T-virus and Super-Soldier Serum had been extracted from the Sun Staircase. The current government of Planet of the Apes was a federal government jointly established by the native humans and Umbrella. The Steel Empire Plan had not yet been implemented. They ruled one hundred million humans and thirty million ape slaves. After Planet of the Apes was modernized, the apes were considered worse than pigs and dogs in the eyes of knowledgeable humans. Like India under the British Empire, they became slaves to humanity.

Six months had now passed in reality, while fifty years had passed in the colony. Industrial base cities had certainly already been established. The colony's troops consisted entirely of Tang Tian's genetic clones. Through the constant transport of troops to Planet of the Apes, Umbrella's forces had reached two million. However, the ape slaves, who had once been the rulers, continued to resist, only to be brutally suppressed by human armies armed with firearms.

"Red Queen, extract the mutant genes from the blood and create new Tyrants and bio-weapons. After that, we can implement the project codenamed Bio-Mutant Weapons." After Wesker left, Tang Tian arranged a new plan.

"Understood, Mastermind," Red Queen replied lightly.

All in all, Tang Tian felt things had been going rather well lately. Umbrella had obtained the Super-Soldier Serum and Dr. Erskine, then occupied a colony on Planet of the Apes. Some people might ask why he did not go to the next plane, but Tang Tian would say that biting off more than one could chew was never wise. Although development was going well now, he still lacked overwhelming strength. Moreover, unlike most people who crossed into World War II-era Marvel, Tang Tian would not actively participate in the war in Asia, nor would he fool around with Captain America. This was one of the greatest differences between Tang Tian and some other transmigrators.

"Alfred, how have you been? How was your time in USS?" At Umbrella headquarters, Tang Tian smiled and gave Alfred a big hug. After leaving Rockfort Island, Tang Tian had sent Alfred and Steve into the USS forces for training and injected both of them with the Super-Soldier Serum to enhance them.

"Boss, it feels great. The serum makes me feel full of strength." Wearing a black combat uniform, Alfred looked strong and formidable. He no longer resembled the delicate young nobleman Tang Tian had first met. It proved that anyone who experienced blood and steel would change.

"Very good. Are you ready?" Tang Tian looked at Alfred's resolute, sharply defined face and spoke calmly.

"No problem. What do you need me to do, sir?" Alfred asked seriously.

"Your mission, along with Steve's, is to attack the Hydra base with Captain America. I need Dr. Zola." Tang Tian stated it simply.

Umbrella was now fully joining the war, but it would only deal with Hydra's final base. "Germany is the best place for me to sell weapons, and I'll sell weapons to the Allies as well, maintaining a balance of power."

"The mission isn't a problem, but I'm curious. With our strength, why do we need to attack the Hydra base with that actor—Captain America?" Alfred's face darkened as he spoke speechlessly. Calling Captain America an actor was already giving him too much credit. After all, when Captain America toured America with beautiful women, sales of American war bonds multiplied several times over. Of course, people did not like Captain America—they liked the beautiful women.

"Our objective is Dr. Zola, Hydra's energy weapons designer. That is our real objective." Tang Tian thought for a moment before answering.

"I understand. When do we begin?" Alfred nodded.

"Immediately. Captain America has already eliminated most of Hydra's bases. Only the final base remains." Tang Tian's expression turned serious. Tang Tian had not obtained many energy batteries or weapons from Hydra's bases before. This time, the final base would certainly contain the stable energy conversion equipment and Dr. Zola that he needed. As for the Tesseract, he did not intend to seize it in order to avoid affecting the plot.

"Yes, sir," Alfred replied quickly.

Recently, after accidentally absorbing the energy from an energy battery created by the Tesseract, Tang Tian had recovered his gravity ability and his spatial teleportation ability. For this operation, Tang Tian decided to absorb more of the Tesseract's energy. If he absorbed enough, his abilities and magic would fuse into a simple yet powerful force.

The gravity ability that could absorb energy and the spatial ability that could store items were not simple powers. They had been transplanted from the genes of Gravity God and the Dimensional Rat. Back then, Gravity God had destroyed the Milky Way of an entire story world with a single strike. That showed just how terrifying Gravity God was. The Dimensional Rat was no less impressive, with abilities to move through space and freely pass through planes. As for Tang Tian's magical power, it was the result of soul transplantation using knowledge and technology data obtained from a magical plane. The remaining preserved cultivation rune power was also quite good, similar to the rune technology controlled by Chu Yunsheng in Dark Blood.
