Chapter 21 - Chapter 21: Containment Center

January 28, 2007.

Clearance: C-Class and above.

Coordinates: 61°N, 65°W.

Time Zone: UTC-4.

Island Area: 1015 square kilometers.

Original Location Name and Ownership: Resolution Island, Canada.

Now fully acquired by Umbrella and renamed Containment Site-01.

The island of Containment Site-01 was renovated by the Engineering Team and features an airport capable of handling large transport aircraft.

There are numerous guard towers, as well as various hidden anti-aircraft facilities.

Due to its latitude, it is extremely cold here, and it was uninhabited before Umbrella acquired the island.

The interior of the island has been modified by the Engineering Team, with a Containment Center built 100 meters below the surface, theoretically capable of containing all kinds of anomalous objects.

Upon completion, thousands of Security Personnel who signed non-disclosure agreements were stationed there; there are no UBCS or USS units.

After all, the duty of UBCS is responsible for containment and control, while the duty of USS is to protect important figures or execute black operations for the Olympus Board of Directors.

Excluding these two elite units, the total number of armed personnel Umbrella controls around the World has actually long exceeded ten thousand.

Inside the Containment Center are numerous researchers, technical workers responsible for keeping the facility running, and a large number of imprisoned D-Class Personnel.

And this morning, this Containment Center welcomed its first resident: the plague doctor.

January 28, UTC-4 Time 08:32.

Escorted by Captain Mikhail Victor's squad and three Tyrant T-103s, the plague doctor was delivered to the containment site.

Given the plague doctor's good behavior during transport, it was placed in a standard solitary cell and requires 24-hour non-stop surveillance by four Security Personnel.

January 28, UTC-4 Time 14:14.

In the sky south of the Containment Site-01 airport, an A380, escorted by two F-22s, was performing landing procedures.

The fuselages of the A380 and F-22s were repainted black and bore Umbrella's signature red and white Umbrella logo.

The A380 was a private jet William purchased from Airbus.

As for the two F-22s, they were prototypes William 'took' after becoming the largest shareholder of Lockheed Martin.

Despite being prototypes, these two F-22s still have guaranteed performance and have been upgraded by Umbrella's arsenal, possessing excellent stealth and interception capabilities.

Previously, when Umbrella was expanding rapidly, the U.S. Government tried to curb its development.

But in a capitalist society, private property is paramount.

Moreover, after a series of operations by William, he now has almost endless capital, which the U.S. Government simply cannot stop.

Even Canada, that 'little brother', surprisingly favored Umbrella, so the United States could only let the matter drop.

After the first containment operation was successful, William stayed at Troy Base to rest for a night.

He planned to sleep until he woke up naturally, then lead Hank and the Alpha Team to the Containment Center to observe the famous ***-049.

A beautiful morning.

Who knew that the neurotic genius Halsey would arrive at Troy Base under the protection of twenty USS, seemingly wanting to go to the Containment Center together.

Then, William, who was still in dreamland, was forcibly woken up by her.

When William, with a sleepy look, questioned Hank and the others why they didn't stop her...

Hank, that stern god of death, actually showed a very helpless expression, shrugged, spread his hands, and said:

"Boss, Olympus is above our clearance, and she is Dr. Halsey... We couldn't stop her..."

This is unbearable!

In the end...

William took Halsey on his private jet and arrived at this isolated island together.

Under the skilled control of the crew, the A380 landed very smoothly and finally parked in the airport's terminal.

Seeing the A380 land and come to a stop, the two escorting F-22s also landed one after another under the tower's guidance.

A380 cabin, former first-class area;

William was lying on a bed specially modified for him, holding a laptop to review various company matters.

As the boss of a mega-conglomerate, William has very little free time and is busy almost all the time.

Although each department has dedicated personnel in charge, important documents still require his approval and signature.

At this moment, with dark circles under his eyes, he was looking at the boring content on the screen, feeling drowsy.

"Hoo~ Hah~" He let out a happy breathing sound because he was sleeping soundly.

William heard this sound...

His hands clenched instantly, and even his veins bulged.

He saw that Halsey was also on William's bed, sleeping soundly on the inside near the window.

When she discovered there was a bed on this plane, she insisted on squeezing in with William, unwilling to sit in those first-class seats.

Looking at Halsey beside him, William could only shake his head helplessly.

Who could blame her, she is Umbrella's most indispensable employee?

And Halsey's brain is comparable to a supercomputer.

No, her calculation speed is even faster than a computer.

She is responsible for t-virus research, cutting-edge weapon design for the arsenal, and the operation of the spartan project simultaneously.

Back then, when William was reading the thick stack of research reports on the t-virus by Halsey, he could be said to be completely clueless.

In fact, Halsey is the most tired person in Umbrella.

Thinking about it this way, William stopped complaining.

He even felt a little sorry for her.

And his arrival at the Containment Center was partly out of curiosity, but mainly driven by the system.

Because it was the first containment operation, the mission reward was still in the novice range, so the system required him to personally come to the Containment Center to grant the reward.

William had no objections to the system's requirements.

At this moment, the Captain's voice came over the broadcast: "Boss, we have successfully arrived at the Containment Center and are currently docking with the airport terminal bridge. Please wait patiently."

At the same time, Hank also came to this area.

Taking a look at the still-sleeping Halsey, Hank leaned over slightly towards William and asked softly:

"Boss, do we, the USS, need to change into combat gear?"

"No." William sat on the edge of the bed, put on his leather shoes, and said:

"The Containment Center has thousands of Security Personnel. If they can't even guard one contained object, then they shouldn't be alive.

Also, your custom-made suits and pistols are enough to handle it; there's no need to be too nervous."

"Understood." Having received instructions, Hank turned and walked away with silent footsteps.

"Hmm—"

Halsey seemed to have slept enough; she squinted, slowly sat up, stretched, let out a soft groan, and asked, a bit dazed:

"Are we... there yet?"

By this time, William had already put on his trench coat, turned to her, and smiled: "Ah, yes, we're here. Get ready."

"Okay~"
