Chapter 5

After successfully managing various matters in the real world (the Marvel universe), Tang Tian prepared the necessary items for crossing into the movie dimensions. First and foremost, he assembled a special forces team of 500 individuals enhanced with the Super Soldier Serum. They were equipped with the latest gear from the U.S. Army, including a super-alloy shield adorned with the Umbrella Corporation logo, a super-alloy katana, assault rifles, grenade launchers, heavy weaponry, a transport aircraft named "Thor," and a container containing "Red Queen," a mechanized control unit for the Lickers. All of these weapons were secretly manufactured by Umbrella Corporation.

In terms of supplies, Tang Tian prepared a large quantity of high-energy chocolate, canned luncheon meat, military tents, and camouflage uniforms for the journey. This time, he brought along a special forces team of 500 individuals enhanced with the "Super Soldier Serum" developed by Umbrella Corporation's Dr. Erskine and Dr. William. These soldiers were emotionless genetically cloned beings, secretly manufactured for this purpose. While Tang Tian believed that the world of the Planet of the Apes was relatively safe, his intentions were not limited to mere plundering. Colonization was also on the agenda. The highest fighting force on the Planet of the Apes consisted of the ape army, but with the serum-enhanced troops and biochemical weapons at his disposal, Tang Tian had sufficient means to deal with them.

"Battle for the Planet of the Apes"

Plot: In the future, Earth is no longer able to sustain its growing population, and humanity sets out to explore the universe in search of habitable planets. During this quest, humans begin training apes to perform simple tasks as substitutes for humans. During a space mission, Leo, an astronaut, and his ape companion, piloting the spacecraft, encounter a cosmic storm that causes them to lose contact with the space station. In order to rescue his partner, Leo disregards the objections and ventures alone into the heart of the storm.

However, the spacecraft ultimately crash-lands on an unfamiliar planet. When Leo regains consciousness, he is captured by a group of apes. Upon careful observation, he discovers that on this planet, apes possess high intelligence and dominate over the true human population, who have become enslaved. To escape his predicament, Leo receives help from Ari (played by Helena Bonham Carter), a female ape, and embarks on a journey of escape. During their escape, Leo's signal receiver gradually picks up a signal transmitted by their mothership. As they follow the signal's guidance, they discover that their destination leads to the birthplace of the ape ancestors...

Inside the underground base of Umbrella, after reviewing the plot and supplies, Tang Tian used his partially restored spatial powers to store all the supplies in his own space. During the process of crossing over to the Marvel world, his gravity manipulation ability disappeared, and his spatial powers were reduced to only the function of storage. Fortunately, he was able to bring the supplies with him on his journey through the movie dimensions.

"War for the Planet of the Apes" is generally considered a low-risk science fiction dimension, set in the future after the events of "Rise of the Planet of the Apes." Valuable items that can be obtained in this dimension are technological devices such as spaceships, small space cruisers, and orbital electromagnetic guns, which are all targets for Tang Tian. Additionally, these humble apes will have to pay the price for harming humans, and while Tang Tian may not be a good person, his character is such that he allows himself to cause trouble while preventing others from doing the same. Therefore, those apes will become the subjects of his bio-weapons.

In the unknown tropical forest of the ape planet, the fully armed special forces of Umbrella Corporation advance with hired mercenaries clearing the way ahead, forming a defensive formation to ensure Tang Tian's safety.

The emotionless mercenary troops maintain their individual surveillance zones, with the 500 mercenaries overlapping to form a nearly seamless perimeter of vigilance. Albert Wesker, wearing sunglasses, calmly moves forward. Having already injected himself with the progenitor virus variant and the initial stage of the enhanced serum developed by Dr. William Birkin, Wesker now possesses half the strength of a Tyrant. In the Resident Evil series, both Wesker and Alexia Ashford are the most powerful mutated beings due to the virus. Their loyalty is unquestionable, as characters modified by the causality point system are completely under my control. Moreover, Tang Tian's magical powers are formidable, although his abilities have not fully recovered.

In the dense jungle, the Serum Squad advances methodically. Suddenly, Tang Tian raises a hand, signaling everyone to halt. At that moment, a small white space cruiser descends from the atmosphere, emitting thick white smoke. The spacecraft lands in the water about a hundred meters ahead, capturing the strange gaze of Wesker. Although Wesker's expression appears unusual, it is understandable considering that even in the real world, people had peculiar reactions upon witnessing the first airplanes during World War II as they descended from the sky into the atmosphere.

"Target acquired, check your weapons, and get ready for action." Tang Tian breathes a sigh of relief as the spacecraft appears as expected. Soon, he will be able to obtain the exploration-class spaceship and the orbital electromagnetic gun.

With Umbrella's advanced hidden technology, it shouldn't take more than three months to decipher the technology inside the spacecraft. Umbrella's team of scientists consists not only of numerous biologists but also scientists specializing in high-tech weaponry. These scientists have been secretly recruited from Germany, Asia, and the United States to join Umbrella for various reasons. Their expertise contributes to the further strengthening of Tang Tian's power base.

"Yes, boss. Full speed ahead" said the Captain of the Black Serum Squad.

Initially, the American astronaut Leo intended to rescue his pet chimpanzee when their spacecraft lost contact due to a cosmic storm. However, disregarding the obstacles, Leo bravely piloted the ship alone in search of his chimpanzee. It was during this journey that he encountered an interstellar portal, resulting in transdimensional travel. Unbeknownst to Leo, his actions inadvertently led to the rise of chimpanzees as the dominant species on the planet.

"Ah-oooh! Ah-oooh!" A sudden sound resonated, resembling the distinctive vocalization of a chimpanzee. It was evident that the source of the sound was none other than the simian inhabitants. Leo's predicament, trapped as a slave among the apes, was undoubtedly a challenging one. Recognizing the situation, someone in their thoughts suggested that it would be worth saving him if there was an opportunity.

"Boss, we have found the trail of the spaceship." The covert serum team remained undeterred by the presence of the apes as they carried out their mission to locate the ship. Even if they encountered the apes, the serum team would easily eliminate them. At this moment, the bodyguard Wesker approached Tang Tian with a respectful tone.

"Very well. Salvage the small space cruiser. Once it's done, some of our team will return to the company headquarters while the remaining operatives continue to surveil the gathering place of the apes. If we encounter any apes, feel free to eliminate them. Within the next 48 hours, we must search for the possible location of the next small space cruiser and any remnants of the spaceship." Tang Tian issued his orders. The data from the crashed ship in the water was undoubtedly lost, so the wreckage of the spaceship and the exploration cruiser, as seen at the end of the movie, were our current objectives. Electromagnetic weapons are also included in the mission.

"Yes, boss," the genetically cloned members of the serum squad echoed in unison.

Initially, Tang Tian had planned to directly plunder the technology or superpowers from worlds like "Mechanical Enemy," "The Matrix," "Blissful Space," or "Superpower Outburst." However, upon further consideration, he decided it would be wiser to first establish a colony, allowing for unrestricted development.

"Battle for the Planet of the Apes" and "Deep Space Amnesia" are two suitable technological planes as colonies, so Tang Tian brought his advanced team to this world. Not to mention the resources of the ape planet and the easily obtainable technology, there are also valuable assets in "Deep Space Amnesia," such as the entire technological tree of Earth's civilization, which will greatly assist Tang Tian.

For those who are fond of superpowers, "Chronicle" and "Limitless" would be suitable for them. However, for dimensional arms dealers focused on technological development, easily obtaining colonies on primitive planets might be the best direction for their growth. Moreover, there are not many events during Captain America's era, so it is possible to establish Umbrella's colonies in many dimensions and produce biochemical weapons, robots, advanced military technology, and nuclear weapons. This ensures that they can easily replenish their resources after suffering losses in the real world.

PS: By the way, I want to clarify that Wesker injected himself with the progenitor mutant strain, not the G-virus. Also, I apologize if you feel disappointed, but for an arms dealer to have unrestricted development, acquiring colonies is crucial. It is normal to have contingency plans in a world like the Marvel Universe, and obtaining the advanced robot technology from The Matrix, Terminator, and Mechagodzilla would allow for significant expansion. With the combination of bio-weapons and robots, it would be possible to create an empire on a planetary scale, giving the story a sense of a "Steel Empire" as envisioned by the author.
