After Tang Tian arranged Umbrella's affairs, Umbrella still did not get involved in the affairs of Hydra and Captain America. It took a helicopter and headed to Rockford Island in Antarctica with Death Hank as the USS captain to get the Veronica sample. The two core forces within Umbrella, in addition to the USS recovery force, there is also the Umbrella Biological Disaster Response Force called UBCS. The two forces have a total of more than two million people worldwide.
"In the ant ecosystem, every ant colony has a queen ant, and all the other soldier ants are merely its slaves. If the queen ant needs them, they will sacrifice their lives for her without hesitation. If the Veronica virus succeeds, I will have that kind of power and rule the world."
"Tang, isn't this what we are pursuing together? That is to become a god." As they were about to reach Rockford Island, Tang Tian recalled the words of Alexia, a beautiful girl who became a genius at the age of 12.
"Boss, we are almost at the target destination." Death Hank reminded Tang Tian while looking at his memories.
"Okay, I get it. What's the situation on Rockford Island? There hasn't been an outbreak of the T-virus biohazard, right?" Tang Tian said doubtfully as they were almost at their destination. He thought of the T2 virus biohazard that broke out on Rockford Island in Resident Evil, so he said this doubtfully.
"There is no boss, everything is normal. According to what Alfred, the director of Rockford Island, just said, everything is normal and he wants to see you." Death Hank said thoughtfully.
"Okay, I got it. Get ready to land." Tang Tian said seriously with a serious face.

Darkness slowly descended, a gentle rain lashing the ground relentlessly. Unlike the raging Second World War, Rockford Island was experiencing rapid development. It was conceivable that war would bring peace to other places, much like Umbrella, which seized upon the demand for pharmaceuticals during World War II and rapidly developed its business, leading to its rapid rise.
"Is he here? My sister is right. He's here to fulfill his promise and retrieve the Veronica virus." Commander Alfred had mixed thoughts as he heard the helicopter approach. Alfred wasn't the schizophrenic he was in Resident Evil right now, and Alexia had only been injected with the Veronica virus a year earlier. Alfred had a good impression of his brother-in-law, whose strength and cunning were both remarkable.
Veronica is Alexia's masterpiece, created when she was twelve years old. A powerful virus, it's a fusion of the Progenitor virus and the Queen Ant, combined with plant DNA. It can induce mutations in organisms and even transform ecosystems. Compared to the powerful and destructive evolutionary power of the G-Virus, Veronica's transformation is minimally destructive to the human body. Infected individuals possess basic intelligence and partial human consciousness, retaining a significant amount of memory. There have even been cases of humans recovering full consciousness and intelligence after conventional infection.
The first experiment of the Veronica virus was on her own father. Although it failed, Alexia discovered the reason for the failure and began a long 15-year fusion using ultra-low temperature hibernation.
Furthermore, the various biological weapons developed based on the Veronica virus, known as bows (activated biological weapons), are far more dangerous than the biological weapons derived from the T-virus. The most common changes experienced by Veronica victims include increased body hardness, hyperactive cells, accelerated reflexes, enhanced vitality, and enhanced repair capabilities. Furthermore, infected individuals commonly produce a unique toxin that vaporizes upon reaction with air, possessing a potent lethality against living organisms and requiring specialized serum for detoxification. For those highly assimilated to the virus, the virus can even bind to their blood, reacting with air to cause combustion and explosion. These are all reasons why Tang Tian desired Veronica. Veronica is truly a rare and stable virus.

"It's a nostalgic place. Alexia, you didn't let me down. You succeeded in creating the Veronica virus in less than a year." After stepping onto Rockford Island, Tang Tian said with emotion while feeling the pristine air around him.
"Boss, welcome to Rockford Island." Alfred Ashford said respectfully like a relative when he saw Tang Tian coming at the door of the large villa. The current Alfred is not like the idiot in Operation Codename Veronica. The current Alfred is very lonely because his sister merged with Veronica. And because they grew up with Tang Tian, it is not an exaggeration to say that Tang Tian is now Alfred's relative.
Looking at Alfred standing at the door of the villa, dressed in European aristocratic clothing and with his golden hair combed meticulously, Tang Tian said with emotion; "Very good, much more energetic, the Ashford family is indeed elites." After that, Tang Tian walked to the office of the villa. The USS was repairing nearby. As a recovery and combat force, the USS is very powerful and experienced in combat. It is very effective in protecting important Umbrella members. Tang Tian also plans to inject them all with a combination of superhuman serum and T virus enhancer in the future to improve their strength.
"You know very well the purpose of my visit this time. You know what I need. It's time to fulfill our agreement." As soon as Tang Tian entered the villa office, he spoke straight to the point to Alfred.
"Yes, I understand. The Veronica virus samples and the information and experimental data of various activated biological weapons have been prepared. These are what you need according to the agreement." Alfred sighed and said, he felt that he could no longer go back to the past.
"Very good, you did a good job. The Veronica virus is the best virus sample I have ever obtained. So what reward do you need?" Tang Tian said to Alfred with a smile.
"I think I need something. I think you also know my sister and I's background." Alfred said calmly.
"I understand now. Come with me. We'll pick up your sister when she wakes up," Tang Tian said with a smile, but he had other thoughts. It would be nice to have Alfred with him. Alfred should experience World War II, otherwise staying a homebody wouldn't be a good idea. Thinking of Alfred in Codename Veronica, who had become a completely incompetent and droll, Tang Tian was speechless for a moment.
Overall, the operation was a success. Alfred was impressed by his family's affection. Tang Tian will soon meet his father-in-law, Alexander, who has been infected with the Veronica virus. His tissue is also needed for the plan. The Veronica bioweapon used on Rockford Island was derived from a virus left behind by Alexia and from Alexander's body, so Tang Tian still wants to meet this monster. Perhaps after obtaining Naruto's Earth-Shifting Reincarnation, he can use the soul-resurrection method to resurrect Alexander in another form.
Tang Tian also came this time to see if there were any characters from Resident Evil. If there were, it would prove that Alice or Leon would be there, and the causal point had not completely eliminated these protagonist characters. In the next few days, Tang Tian started what he wanted to do on Rockford Island.
