First Enhancement

readx();

Planet of the Apes Colony, Umbrella's core biochemical laboratory.

"Dr. William, is the G-virus still not finished?" Tang Tian asked Dr. William with displeasure. After the large number of enhanced clones and mercenaries he had just dispatched occupied the new Pandorum Dimension colony, Tang Tian returned to the First Dimension to enhance the power of the viruses.

"It may take another month, Chairman Donners," Dr. William said helplessly.

"But I am curious, Chairman. May I presumptuously ask something? Could injecting multiple viruses at once cause mutations? After all, the virus Wesker was injected with was also specially made by me." Dr. William raised his question.

"Good. Speed up the research. You need not worry about the injections. My physique is very special, so fusing these viruses will not be a problem. Besides, the cryogenic chamber we just acquired can slow the viruses' consumption of human cells, just like Alexia." Tang Tian explained casually. Dr. William had actually been very lucky. His own abilities were relatively lacking; unlike James Marcus, who invented the Leech Virus, or Alexia, who invented the Veronica Virus, he had merely been fortunate enough to discover Lisa, who could fuse with any virus, and extract the G-virus from her.

"The unfathomable evolutionary potential of the Progenitor Virus; the gradual evolution of the T—Leech Virus; the T—Veronica Virus, which grants flame abilities; and the G-virus, an utterly evil substance that trespasses into the realm of gods and destroys heredity." As long as Tang Tian injected all four viruses, his body might become an indestructible cockroach. His regenerative ability would absolutely surpass Wolverine's by hundreds of times, and becoming immune to all conventional weapons would be easy.

One day a month later, lightning tore through the pitch-black sky as dark clouds churned and surged. It was as though darkness had swept in to devour everything. On that day, the enhancement finally began officially.

No one knew that it would herald a new era—the era of the Death Merchant. An era in which true "peace" would arrive across multiple dimensional worlds, and the Death Merchant would command countless robots and biochemical weapons while searching everywhere for valuable advanced technology to satisfy his greedy appetite.

Planet of the Apes Colony, core underground laboratory, G-virus experimental base.

After Tang Tian invested massive resources, Dr. William devoted himself wholly to the experiments. Through day-and-night research on the G-virus with Dr. Erskine, the G-virus was finally about to succeed.

In the dim underground laboratory, countless researchers bustled about. Dr. William shook his head slightly, picked up a G-virus test tube from the lab bench, and nodded approvingly at the purplish-red liquid inside. Dr. Erskine was also overjoyed. After more than ten years of research, the G-virus was finally complete.

"It is finally finished, William. The chairman will definitely be very pleased," Dr. Erskine said excitedly. The more than ten years he had spent researching the G-virus with Dr. William in the colony had been thrilling.

"Yes, the G-virus is finally complete," Dr. William said with a sigh.

The terror of the G-virus developed by Dr. William lay in the fact that, aside from altering an organism's genetic factors, it could make infected organisms evolve and mutate at the genetic level, and could even be passed down to future generations. Even more terrifyingly, it could revive the dead. It was another demonic creation that completely surpassed the T-virus.

The G-virus used biological evolution as its blueprint, compressing the mutation and evolutionary process that would originally take a creature hundreds of millions of years into only a few short hours. Naturally, cells required tremendous amounts of energy during evolution. Tang Tian had already prepared the energy batteries from Hydra's spoils for this purpose, ensuring sufficient energy for a more perfect enhancement.

Moreover, once Dr. William completed his task, Tang Tian would send him to the Left 4 Dead world after his enhancement. The reason was simple. Although Dr. William was quite a genius, he could not compare to the ten-year-old Alexia of the past, nor to Marcus and the researchers behind the C-virus. Furthermore, Dr. William possessed a tiresome sense of pride and possessiveness. Although the modification through causality points had made Dr. William completely loyal to him, Dr. William still had to be sent elsewhere for the viruses to be developed better. After all, William had spent more than ten years with the virus, yet he had only discovered it rather than truly researched it.

"Tang Xing, how are the preparations for all the viruses?" Tang Tian asked casually upon arriving at the underground laboratory, as though everything had already been arranged. "Boss, you're here. Everything you wanted is ready. Come in," Tang Xing replied simply.

In the nuclear-proof underground biochemical laboratory, groups of researchers in white lab coats busied themselves with preparations for Tang Tian's enhancement. From time to time, someone checked the cryogenic chamber's stability readings and the energy battery conversion device.

"This is the enhanced Veronica Virus, also called T-02." Tang Xing pointed at the dark-green double-helix liquid in one of the four injector guns at the cryogenic chamber's interface.

"T-02? Carla Radames developed it quickly. It is very good that she has created an enhanced version of the Veronica Virus." Tang Tian was genuinely surprised this time.

"Of course. Luckily, you found her before leaving the real world. Otherwise..." Tang Xing said calmly.

"All right. When will the enhancement begin?" Tang Tian looked at Tang Xing, who seemed fully prepared, and spoke calmly.

"Anytime, anywhere," Tang Xing answered. "All right, let's begin."

"Progenitor Virus, G-virus, T-virus, enhanced Veronica Virus ready. Dr. William and Dr. Erskine, begin the injections." Tang Xing watched Tang Tian enter the reinforced cryogenic chamber and gave the order.

"Understood, Boss." After making the final adjustments, William and Dr. Erskine answered solemnly at the same time.

Tang Tian lay inside the cryogenic chamber, looking through the space glass at the scene outside. He had first had scientists crack and study this cryogenic chamber. Its ultra-low-temperature environment was highly suitable for fusing viruses, and during the process, energy from the Tesseract could be slowly injected to provide the cells with sufficient energy. Tang Tian's current situation was like Captain America's, except Tang Tian was undergoing cryogenic enhancement while Captain America had undergone radiation enhancement.

"Boss, the experiment will definitely succeed. We reached that conclusion through your genetic clones. However, fully fusing these viruses will require a great deal of energy and time. According to Red Queen's calculations, you will awaken in approximately one hundred years. In the main world's time, that will be five years," Tang Xing explained. Tang Tian nodded without saying anything. After all, gaining extraordinary power required a price.

"Begin the injections. Start the countdown." As Tang Xing's voice rang out, the enhancement experiment officially began.

"Five."

"Four."

"Three."

"Two."

"One."

As the countdown ended, double-helix liquids of different colors were slowly pushed through the four injector guns at the interface and injected into Tang Tian's arm muscles. Once the viruses were fully injected, Tang Tian felt four different sensations—icy cold, scorching heat, and more—crawling across his entire body like insects. Then the cryogenic chamber's temperature rapidly dropped. Tang Tian slowly closed his eyes. Let the true enhancement begin in his sleep!

P.S.: After the enhancement is complete, the story will head to I, Robot after some time. The author is already preparing to sign a contract, so everyone can bookmark it without worry.

If you cannot find it by searching the book title, try searching for the author instead. Perhaps it was simply renamed!
