The following video is a live feed from the helmet camera of a UBCS Group B Commander, Corporal.
First-person perspective.
The Corporal is holding a rifle newly developed by the Hive.
The helmet's field of view is clear.
The bottom left of the display shows the remaining bullets in the rifle and the number of spare magazines.
The top right is a dynamic detection radar; five yellow dots are displayed as friendly units, and dense red dots are the zombie horde in the test field.
In the center is a red crosshair for aiming.
The display also has infrared, night vision, thermal imaging, motion tracking, and other function options.
...
Corporal: Hu—ha— (Due to the enclosed space, the breathing sound is quite obvious.)
Communication comes with Halsey's voice: Group B, the boss is watching, start the show~.
Corporal: Received.
The gate in front of the perspective opens.
Corporal: (Right hand holding the gun, left hand waving forward) Group B, advance.
Everyone: Yes.
The Corporal and its five subordinates run quickly, rushing into the test field and lining up.
Thump! (The sound of the gate closing behind them)
At the same time, zombies, zombie dogs, and Lickers all discover their presence.
The display screen Marks the zombies in the field of view for attack, and the crosshair quickly moves to the nearest one.
Corporal: Fire.
Everyone: (Tone calm) Yes.
Communication: Pop pop! (Continuous shooting sounds of various caliber firearms)
With the assistance of the mechanical skeleton, the recoil of the firearms is easily suppressed, and the live broadcast screen only shakes slightly.
The Corporal aims at the marked zombies one by one, eliminating the enemies in the field of view with a near 100% headshot rate.
The operation system's markings do not repeat, allowing the UBCS to greatly improve ammunition usage and enemy clearance efficiency.
...
Woof! (Zombie dog's howl)
A zombie dog luckily passes through the fire net and rushes towards the front line agilely.
Pop pop! (Machine gun strafing sound)
The zombie dog is blown apart by the Machine Gunner.
The disintegrated bones and tissues of the zombie dog slide on the white ground due to the inertia of running, leaving a pool of blood.
Hiss!
A Licker jumps into the air and attacks the Corporal's position.
Due to the extremely fast speed, other UBCS Soldiers cannot provide support in time.
Thump!
The perspective shakes violently.
After clearing, the Licker is stepping on top of the Corporal's body.
Both sides begin hand-to-hand combat.
Corporal: Uh—! (Groan of pain caused by the Licker's claw strike)
Rifleman: Corporal! Machine Gunner, blow that son of a bitch apart!
Corporal: No need! (Said through gritted teeth)
Then the Corporal finds an opening and kicks the Licker's abdomen hard with its right leg.
Hiss!
The Licker is lifted up by the Giant Strength of the mechanical skeleton and falls on its back in pain.
Immediately after, the Corporal in the perspective gets up quickly, lifts its left foot, and stomps on the Licker's head.
Splat! (Sound of blood bursting)
A small amount of blood splashes on the protective cover outside the helmet.
Live broadcast ends.

...
Meanwhile.
The content on the central display screen of the observation room stops at the scene where the Licker is stomped to death.
Seeing this, William shows joy and walks slowly to the giant bulletproof glass.
Looking down.
The test field, originally crowded with zombies, was actually cleared 'cleanly' under the powerful firepower suppression of the six UBCS wearing AAES.
But zombie dogs and Lickers are still a huge threat.
It shows that AAES cannot respond in time to abnormal containment objects that are fast and good at sneak attacks.
But if the quantity is within a controllable range, AAES still has a powerful defensive effect.
Halsey comes to William's side and says with a little smugness: 'How is it, boss.'
'Very good!' William nods fiercely.
Then he turns to look at Halsey, puts his hands on her shoulders, and praises her, unable to hold back his inner joy:
'Catherine, you... I don't even know how to reward you, I'm so satisfied!'
'Hmm~~'
Halsey seems to enjoy William calling her by her name directly, her eyes closed tightly, and she even stomps her feet because of happiness.
'Hehe.'
Seeing the other party working diligently for the company and showing the appearance of a little girl, William also smiles gently.
After a few seconds of warm atmosphere.
Halsey recovers her seriousness, walks behind the bulletproof glass window, and points to the six UBCS cleaning up the field below:
'Boss, this AAES specially equipped for the UBCS special forces is actually...'
'Actually, it is a low-quality product. In order not to make those big-headed Soldiers sad, it started with 'Advance'.'
'It's actually something I made while developing two nuclear fusion power armors.'
'Nuclear fusion?' William asked in disbelief: 'Did you make it so quickly?'
'Ah, yes.'
Halsey suddenly turns around, pulls William, who is a bit confused, with her hand, and walks outside the observation room while saying:
'The design drawings of the fusion reactor were drawn by me long ago, and were handed to Kashimo's engineering team not long ago.
It is expected that in three to four months, Umbrella's main underground research facilities and military Bases will have almost endless energy.'
'Is... is that so.'
However, William didn't listen carefully to what she said. He only feels that Halsey's little hand is soft, and he has an urge to pinch it.
'You told me before about building an aircraft carrier, which reminded me that I could shrink the fusion reactor, as well as the research and development of hydrogen batteries.
And then, I also found...'
She doesn't know that her boss is thinking about dirty things, and is still patiently narrating and explaining various scientific research results.
Leaving the observation room.
The two of them, protected by Hank and the Alphas waiting outside the door, head to the high-tech weapons R&D area at the westernmost end of the fourth floor.
After walking for about ten minutes, Halsey leads William to a large R&D room.
There are dozens of top-notch Engineers and Technicians here.
They are either calculating at their respective operation consoles or gathering together to discuss academic research that William doesn't understand at all.
And what attracts William's gaze the most are the two... unfinished armors suspended in the center of the R&D room, connected by various cables.
The one on the left is dark green and black, with the helmet and chest armor partially completed.
The progress on the right is slower, with only a gray helmet.
William recognizes at a glance that the one on the left is the Mark VI Thor's Hammer, and the one on the right is the herundin.
When the Engineers and Technicians see William, they all stop their work and respectfully say:
'Boss.'
'Well, everyone has worked hard...'
But before William could say more insincere polite words, Halsey releases the hand she was holding with him, walks to the center of the R&D room, and drives them away:
'You all go out, I have something to talk to the boss alone.'
'Yes, Dr.'
After watching the 'unrelated people' leave, Halsey comes to Thor's Hammer and introduces:
'Ta-da~'
This is the power armor dedicated to the Spartan troops. I named it Thor's Hammer.
(Pointing to the side) This one here is my earliest concept, the herundin.
Theoretically, it is an armor that ordinary pilots can drive, but it is extremely difficult to realize. It may take a year or a half to complete.'
