Marvel's Death Merchant

Another female mercenary couldn't help but ask, "Why did it take so long?"

Kaplan, without turning his head, said, "The Flame Queen is an intelligent computer with a very comprehensive defense system. If it were so easy to breach its firewall, it wouldn't be used as the main computer for the laboratory..."

As they were speaking, a soft sound rang out, and the tightly closed door slowly opened. Matthew Addison nodded and said, "Pack the things up!" After saying that, he turned around to look at Zheng Zha and the others.

"You stay here."

Behind the gate is a passageway more than ten meters long, with glass walls on both sides, completely different from the steel walls outside the gate.

After Matthew Addison finished speaking, he walked inside on his own. He walked very cautiously, each step showing great care. Even so, when he reached the middle of the passage, he was still startled because the glass walls around him suddenly lit up. This abrupt feeling was enough to make an ordinary person's hands and feet go weak.

Kaplan's voice came through the intercom: "Don't worry, it's just an automatic sensor light, nothing to be concerned about."

Just as Tang Xing finished racking up points, Matthew and the other mercenaries were about to enter the laser tunnel when Zheng Zha finally couldn't help but shout, "Wait, wait a minute! Don't you guys think something's strange? This computer is so useless. It just let you restart it like that. I don't think things are that simple. There might be something unusual in this tunnel."

The mercenaries stopped abruptly. Everyone looked at him strangely. The girl with glasses sighed, released his hand, and moved away from him to stand next to the heroine, Alice.

"What an idiot. If it weren't for the protagonist's halo, he probably would have been killed long ago." Tang Xing noticed the wary looks on the faces of those around him and silently watched the show. He had already obtained some plot points; destroying this place with nuclear weapons would definitely yield more than 3 plot points.

The result was the same as the original plot: the middle-aged man, Mou Gang, was riddled with bullets in front of them. Zheng Zha, the hypocritical saint, never expected that he had actually caused Mou Gang's death. Then he was threatened and taken away.

Zhang Jie was happy to let Zheng Zha enter the laser tunnel and be killed, because he had warned against changing the plot. Since Zheng Zha had already done it, Zhang Jie didn't mind having another corpse. In the movie, the mercenary team was completely wiped out, let alone an ordinary person like him. Tang Xing didn't try to save him either, because Tang Xing disdained to accept what Zheng Zha offered.

After they entered the passage, both doors closed simultaneously, and all the mercenaries who entered, except for Matthew Addison, were killed by lasers. Of course, Matthew Addison also had several marks left on his hands, a result of Tang Xing's secret manipulation using Skynet.

Matthew Addison was extremely grateful to Zheng Zha for saving him, even though one of his fingers was cut off by a laser.

After narrowly escaping death, Matthew Addison coldly said to the still-shaken people around him, "Let's continue!"

"Continue?" Ryan, one of the male protagonists, shouted, "Continue what? You're kidding! I'm not going into that passage!" Actually, his name isn't Ryan, but Spence, which is also a pit in this special dimension.

Matthew Addison looked at Kaplan. The computer-savvy mercenary, sweating profusely, said, "Yes, yes. I've shut down all the defense systems, all of them..."

Matthew Addison asked again, "All of them? Confirmed?"

Without waiting for Kaplan's reply, he picked up the instrument on the ground and walked to the other end of the passage.

Kaplan kept typing on the keyboard. This time, the entrance door didn't close, and Alice, the female protagonist, followed him inside, just like in the story. Then, the door to the central computer room of the Flame Queen closed again. Zheng Zha and the others exchanged glances; they knew that they were about to face the theme of a biohazard crisis—zombies!

Zhan Lan whispered to Zheng Zha and the other, "Don't stray too far from Zhang Jie, and don't get bitten or scratched by the zombies. In the movie, anyone infected with the T-virus will turn into a zombie within thirty minutes. I did a calculation when I watched this movie before, and it takes about ten minutes for the antidote to be effective. Remember, don't leave Zhang Jie's side. Since he survived three horror movies, he should be able to survive this one too. And that Ice Cube Tang Xing, his strength should also be very powerful."

Zhan Lan's words made Tang Xing shake his head, but he didn't say anything, because they had survived without anyone else's help.

In the darkness, Zheng Zha felt Li Xiaoyi trembling incessantly beside him, and even Zhan Lan was trembling slightly. He couldn't help but whisper, "Are you scared?"

Li Xiaoyi replied, "Yes, I'm very scared."

Zhan Lan said, "I'm just too excited..."

Tang Xing suddenly walked over and said coldly to Zheng Zha, "The feeling of death might be exciting."

Zheng Zha discovered that Tang Xing was truly terrifying, but he didn't say anything because he might need Tang Xing's help later. He was now silently waiting to see what would happen next.

Dozens of seconds later, the room lit up again. Tang Xing knew that this was all starting, but he was not afraid. Instead, he released the pressure of the genuine virus, believing that the zombies would not dare to attack him.

Then gunshots rang out at restaurant B. The long-haired female mercenary, Rain, was there, clenching her fists and cursing. Matthew Addison asked, "What happened? I heard gunshots."

A large chunk of flesh was missing between Ryan's thumb and forefinger, a bloody and gruesome sight. She gritted her teeth and said, "Sir, we found a survivor, but he's gone mad and bit me..."

Matthew Addison frowned. "So you fired?"

"Sir," Ryan shouted back, "he's gone mad!"

He's gone!

Zhang Jie's voice suddenly came over. He looked at the pool of blood on the ground and said calmly, "He was just here, but he's gone now."

Matthew Addison walked up to the bloodstain. He looked at it for a moment; the blood was already semi-dry and thick, so it definitely wasn't fresh blood that had just flowed out of the body. He had a bad feeling.

"It looks like the blood left behind by someone who died a long time ago," Tang Xing said calmly.

“Good, check your weapons and prepare for battle.” Matthew Addison said to the mercenary beside him, looking at Tang Xing’s analysis.

“Yes, sir,” the other mercenaries replied quickly.

Tang Xing's current plan is to follow the original storyline and gradually control the plot. He then establishes his presence within the Resident Evil universe to maximize his profits. Tang Xing generally won't change the later parts of the story; this is all for the sake of maximizing his gains.

Tang Xing found the mission to be in Infinite Terror to be quite simple; he could obtain something of value, which would help his boss become even stronger in the main Marvel universe.

In the main Marvel universe, Tang Tian caused Black King to die at Eric's hands, returning the world to normal. Tang Tian's next target is the mutants from the Wolverine prequel; their abilities are exactly what he needs. Of course, the Sentinel robots and the scientists researching him from Days of Future Past are also among Tang Tian's targets. Tang Tian won't be going to the Infinite Terror dimension with his abilities for now, nor will he bother entering that extremely weak main god. The main Marvel universe has many wonders waiting for him to discover, and this is the best place for him to establish an interstellar empire. Tang Tian will obtain sufficient technology and resources here to realize his dreams, which is extremely important to him.

The Marvel universe is constantly changing, but Tang Tian's dream remains unchanged, which is why he came here. (To be continued...)

Chapter 93 Norman Osborn

Following the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962, Magneto formally broke with his friend Professor X and, with Tang Tian's help, secretly joined the Watchmen. Professor X supported Magneto in establishing and expanding the Brotherhood of Mutants, and Magneto even participated in the assassination attempt on President Kennedy, for which he was imprisoned in the Pentagon. All of this unfolded smoothly under Tang Tian's guidance, as the absence of other superheroes allowed the rise of mutants to proceed very easily.

From 1962 to 1973, the Watchmen organization grew increasingly powerful under Tang Tian's influence. By 1973, the Watchmen had eight members, including White Queen, Red Devil, Torrent, Alex, and Alexia. Umbrella had expanded to become the largest power in the United States, while Stark Industries and Osborn Industries rose to become the other two major corporations in the United States, and the three companies cooperated closely with each other.

Umbrella headquarters, New York City, 1973.

"Boss, the chairman of Osborn Industries just called to ask if you have time. He said he has something to discuss with you," said Alex, a member of the Watchers wearing a special material uniform and also Tang Tian's personal bodyguard, to Tang Tian, ​​who was leaning back in his chair at the desk, lost in thought.

"Hmm, tell him I have time, he can come over." Startled by Alex's words, Tang Tian, ​​looking utterly dejected, said casually. He clearly hadn't slept well the night before, hence his listless appearance. Tang Tian explained that his busy work schedule and nightlife had left him somewhat listless during the day.

"Okay, I understand." Alex glanced at Tang Tian, ​​whose expression was dejected, and shook his head helplessly, clearly understanding his state. Everyone knew how powerful his fiancée, Alexia, was; her original ability was to manipulate extremely high-temperature flames. After being genetically modified by her boss with the even more powerful genes of the Black Emperor and White Queen, she had become incredibly powerful and the number one member of the Watchers organization.

Alex shook his head, trying to clear his head of those chaotic thoughts, otherwise Alexia would make him suffer. Alex then spoke to Norman Osborn on the other end of the phone, "Hello, Mr. Osborn, the boss says he has time."

“Okay. Thank you very much, I’ll be there soon.” On the other end of the phone, Norman Osborne, a young and handsome man in his early twenties, was clearly excited as he put down the phone and boarded a helicopter to fly there.

“Richard, would you like to come along?” Norman asked Richard Parker, the chief scientist at Osborn, with a smile.

“Of course, why not? I’d love to meet someone even you, sir, admire.” Richard Parker said, glancing at Norman Osborn with interest.

“Very good, let’s go,” Norman Osborn said to Richard Parker beside him. The latter nodded and boarded the helicopter, preparing to meet an important person.

"Hi, Mr. Donald, it's great to meet you." Norman Osborn arrived at Umbrella headquarters by helicopter in less than ten minutes. He gave Tang Tian a big hug as soon as they met. Then he warmly greeted Tang Tian beside him.

“Of course, it’s a pleasure to meet you too, Mr. Norman.” Tang Tian extended his hand and shook hands with Norman Osborn, speaking sincerely to him.

He still has strong feelings about the future Green Goblin; it must be said that he is truly a good father and a great scientist. Although he did many bad things, his talent cannot be denied.

"Come on, please sit down." Tang Tian pointed to the chairs next to him, gesturing for them to sit down and talk.

“Yes. Let me introduce you. This gentleman next to me is Mr. Richard Parker, Chief Scientist of Osborn.” Norman Osborn sat down and gestured to the person beside him. Richard Parker, also dressed in a suit, smiled and said.

"Richard Parker, a bio-genetic scientist, is considered the most promising genius to surpass Alexander Asiford in the field of bio-genetics." Tang Tian's eyes lit up as he looked at the very charismatic Richard Parker. He was slightly surprised by his arrival. Although the name sounded unremarkable and unknown, his son was a future superhero named Spider-Man.

“Yes. That’s right. I am.” Richard Parker smiled and nodded. Tang Tian nodded appreciatively, snapped his fingers, and then a beautiful blonde secretary walked in, handing all three of them chilled red wine. The group of high society figures sat down, ready to begin their conversation.

"Hmm. Mr. Osborne, what do you and Mr. Richard need?" Without touching the red wine on the table, Tang Tian asked Norman Osborne seriously, noticing the obvious tension in his eyes. He first got straight to the point, asking about their purpose for coming—this was crucial intelligence.

“Mr. Donas, as you know, Osborn is a military-industrial company that develops weapons for the armed forces. However, our expertise lies in the field of biotechnology. Unlike Mr. Donas’s Umbrella Corporation, which operates in both biotechnology and arms manufacturing, our company requires substantial funding and military support to develop better technologies in any single area.” Norman Osborn did not state his purpose first, but instead introduced his company’s actual situation before explaining its potential.

“Mr. Norman, this doesn’t seem to be the main point.” Tang Tian smiled at Norman Osborn, reminding him that he should get to the point.

“Of course,” Norman Osborn’s chief scientist, Richard Parker, recently used a formula to match genes between species, conducting transgenic research on spiders with a high probability of matching. They’ve already made groundbreaking progress, and we hope that once the research is complete, humans can fuse with the power of spiders. Just imagine! If humans fuse with the power of spider genes, you’ll create an amazing era, just like the Captain America experiment that Umbrella Corporation participated in,” Norman Osborn said enthusiastically. Richard Parker, standing beside him, shook his head occasionally, clearly exasperated by Norman Osborn’s ability to bluff, but he said nothing, because he also needed Norman Osborn’s help to complete his own research.

“I need a lot of funding to complete this research, but the military hasn’t supported such a promising project. They haven’t seen its value, so I need a stable partner. I wonder if Mr. Donalds would be interested?” Norman said confidently, then picked up a bottle of 1787 Lafite red wine from the table, which smelled strongly of wine. He took a sip. Of course, besides its mellow taste, it was worth $16, making it the most expensive red wine in the world, and something Tang Tian specially served to guests.

“Of course, why not? I can provide an investment of fifty million US dollars every year, but I have one condition.” Tang Tian said calmly, holding a glass of red wine on the table.

"What are the requirements?" Norman Osborn asked Tang Tian excitedly, his face lighting up. Actually, Tang Tian had no problem with cooperating with Osborn Industries and Stark Industries; businessmen gain greater advantages through cooperation, a timeless truth.

"Of course, I need their data on all the research results. This will be of great help to our company, and I will also help you if you encounter any funding problems." Tang Tian swirled the red wine in his hand, took an elegant sip like a European aristocrat, and said calmly and seriously.

“Of course, that’s only right,” Norman Osborn nodded, speaking earnestly. (To be continued...)

P.S.: Please give me your support, the later parts will be even more exciting.

Chapter 94 Cooperation

"Mr. Norman, we are living in the best of times and the worst of times. It takes the joint efforts of us businessmen to stabilize our interests," Tang Tian said with a smile, looking at Norman Osborne beside him. He then picked up the red wine on the table and clinked glasses with Richard and Norman to indicate their agreement to cooperate.

“Of course, I think we’ll become friends, just like your collaboration with Mr. Howard Stark. We’re the same kind of people.” Norman Osborn clearly didn’t dislike Tang Tian either, so he said excitedly and gratefully.

Furthermore, while Norman, as a businessman, sometimes faced suppression from his company in various ways, such incidents would be greatly reduced through cooperation. Because of Captain America's emergence, Norman also had an idea: to develop a serum that could mass-produce beings like Captain America. This idea had been with him since he began researching the biological field. The military's investment in his company's research was gradually decreasing, which is why Norman was seizing the opportunity to cooperate with other companies.

The emergence of mutants, most importantly, gave Bolivar Trask a new idea. As a visionary scientist in the military, he began to study the mysteries of mutant DNA—the X-gene. Wary of mutants, he wanted to create Sentinel robots with the intention of eliminating them and allowing humanity to develop normally. There's a saying, "Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts." While this saying is true, the real mistake was that they didn't treat mutants as human beings. Ultimately, the future of mutants will be utterly destroyed.

“Yes, we are friends, and it’s a pleasure to cooperate.” Tang Tian agreed with Norman’s words, as this was a very important collaboration. While Norman Osborn in Spider-Man wasn’t Spider-Man’s father, Richard, he wasn’t without talent. He had achieved remarkable success in biotechnology and mechanical engineering; human enhancement drugs and bio-armor were his creations. Even in the comics, Norman obtained Stark’s technology and created his own Iron Man suit.

"By the way, Mr. Richard, I'd like to know what power would be gained if spider genes and human genes were perfectly fused together." Tang Tian put down his wine glass and sat on his desk, turning to look at Richard, who was deep in thought, and said slowly.

“Yes, Richard, I’m also very interested to hear about the changes that will occur with the abilities of a human-moral super-spider,” Norman nodded, also showing great interest.

“First, spiders possess a unique sixth sense, which allows them to avoid danger and sense others. Secondly, spiders, like humans, can scale walls, shoot webs, and effortlessly climb tall buildings; their healing abilities are also three times that of ordinary people,” Richard said after a moment's thought, speaking to the owners of the two mega-corporations.

Richard's true identity is that of a CIA agent. His purpose in working at Osborn is to obtain the advanced technology developed there and provide it to the US government. Tang Tian, ​​of course, knows his identity. This CIA is a subordinate organization of the newly established S.H.I.E.L.D., which was destroyed in the previous one, but he doesn't reveal it. The genetically modified spider was his creation, so he still has research value.

"It's really great. I hope you can figure it out soon. I can't wait." Tang Tian's eyes showed great interest as he praised him.

Tang Tian himself is also very interested in Spider-Man's genes. If such an agile force could be mass-produced, its deployment in other worlds would allow him to easily obtain those things, such as capturing superpowered individuals among the teleporters. Capturing individuals with special abilities would be relatively easy for the Spider-Man force.

"Yes, I'll do it well." Richard put down his glass, glanced at Tang Tian, ​​and said confidently and generously.

“Mr. Norman, I believe Osborn has the capability to develop a serum similar to Captain America’s enhancement. This is your opportunity. I know you have the same idea in mind. Here is some information I’m providing for your reference.” Tang Tian knew that Norman also had his own research direction, so he presented various experimental data from Colony 1, which detailed what substances could be used to create the enhancement agent.

"How did you know..." Norman's expression suddenly changed, and he looked at Tang Tian in disbelief. He couldn't understand why his most important secret would be known by someone else. Norman had his own pride. He was indeed a successful businessman; in his early twenties, he had managed Osborn Corporation impeccably. In the eyes of others, he was a businessman on par with Howard Stark and Donald.

“Of course, my intelligence unit knows that you once purchased research materials from the Captain America era from the military. If you didn’t have such intentions, why would you do such a thing?” Tang Tian looked at Norman confidently. This intelligence was obtained by Umbrella Corporation spies to help him accelerate his research.

"I must say, Mr. Donald, you are truly remarkable. These materials have been incredibly helpful to me," Norman said, looking at the documents in his hands with a mixture of doubt and excitement. These materials were invaluable for his future research, and might even allow him to complete his studies faster, enabling Osborn Industries to surpass Stark Industries.

“Of course, we’re friends. It’s a pleasure working together,” Tang Tian said with a smile. He believed that Norman had already developed the idea of ​​becoming true friends with him, and this idea was multifaceted; he was confident that Norman wouldn’t reject it at all.

"It's a pleasure to cooperate with you, Mr. Donus. Let's make our company even stronger." At this point, Norman also felt that a big businessman like Tang Tian was worth winning over. He didn't care much about what he had to give, because it was for his own company.

Thus, the two companies' most outstanding businessmen joined forces, and in the Marvel universe of 1973, an era of rampant mutant growth was upon them. Bolivar Trask, the scientist in X-Men: Days of Future Past, was terrified of the increasing number of mutants. He feared that one day humanity would be destroyed by mutants, which is why he developed the Sentinel robots. He himself was a dwarf who would never grow taller, but his indomitable spirit led him to the Sentinel project. He murdered Alex and the White Queen, transplanting their powers into the Sentinel robots. If Tang Tian hadn't been there, things would have developed in the same way as before.

In X-Men: Days of Future Past, during the final battle between Pyro and the Sentinels, the Sentinels even transformed into diamond, demonstrating their immense power. This is, of course, one of Tang Tian's goals as well. After cooperating with Osborn, his next target is the Sentinels. There are two options for obtaining them: one is to go to a parallel universe in the future, where the Sentinels are at their most powerful, surpassing even mutants; the other is to obtain them in the main universe, but through gradual development. This is a problem, and Tang Tian will undoubtedly choose the better one. (To be continued...)

P.S.: The following is the storyline of Days of Future Past, please give it your support.

Chapter 95 The Powerful Sentinel Robot

While Tang Tian was still contemplating his plundering plan in the main Marvel universe, a bleak, apocalyptic scene appeared in another parallel world. This universe belonged only to mutants, but now they were few and far between. The mutants' doomsday was somewhat connected to the main universe; one could say that the mutants' peace was bought with the sacrifices of people in this parallel world.

In this parallel universe of mutants, the world is desolate. Humanity suffers from war and pain, with devastating losses for both ordinary humans and mutants. Mutants and the humans who help them have been fighting against an enemy far stronger than themselves. Because of the war, many civilizations have been disrupted, and the mutants in this parallel universe are destined for destruction.
