By the beginning of next year, Umbrella will become an enterprise that 'serves' all of humanity.
Just as William Russell's words go: "Our business is life itself."
This is all the outside World knows.
But Umbrella employees are well aware of another saying:
"We contain, we control, we protect, we are humanity's first line of defense, and we never retreat."
The reason the public can enjoy a stable life is because there are people dying in their place.
Since the Athabasca town incident, the number of employees who signed non-disclosure agreements and died in action is as follows:
C-Class Security Personnel responsible for Containment Center No. 1 around the World: 27.
B-Class Agent responsible for investigating abnormal phenomena: 221.
Of course, there are also the D-Class Personnel who have contributed to Umbrella's biotechnological progress: over 20,000.
If not for the selfless dedication of these people, human society would have collapsed long ago.
...
"Sigh..."
William Russell looked at the shade of the trees outside the window and couldn't help but sigh.
It is precisely the fearlessness of the Agents that ensures the timely arrival of the UBCS; otherwise, some Safe containment objects could also cause large-scale casualties.
The classification is not just about lethality, but also represents the difficulty of re-containing the object.
Take the Wendigo, for example.
This intangible evil spirit cannot be contained at all, but after understanding its weaknesses, the Agents alone are enough to deal with it, so it is classified as Euclid.
However, what William Russell finds most strange is 049.
This plague doctor gets along well with the Officer at Containment Center No. 1, and the relationship is much more harmonious than with those Researcher.
Even the vast majority of containment objects are analyzed and studied by 049, helping the Containment Center better control and manage them, and 049 is tireless in this work.
William Russell had watched many fan videos on YouTube in his original World.
049 could be said to kill ghosts when seeing ghosts, and kill gods when meeting gods.
Not to mention the Mobile Task Force of *******.
Conversely, after the UBCS Officer took over Containment Center No. 1, 049 showed no intention of resisting at all, and the lavender sedative hadn't even been used once.
How about, when there's time, let Halsey ask?
After all, she is the only one who can have a pleasant conversation with 049.
Speaking of which,
Ever since that time William Russell almost kissed her, the relationship between the two had become somewhat subtle.
Fortunately, after Halsey helped handle the Xbox, she went to the Delphi Base to prepare to put the construction of the Helicarrier on the schedule.
And William Russell also had to be busy with the expansion of the company, with no time to worry about personal emotional problems.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to fall asleep as soon as he sat down.
...
"Boss, we're almost there."
Hearing Hank's reminder, William Russell stopped thinking and replied in a flat voice: "Mm, I know."
He turned his gaze back to the front.
Through the car window, one could see a checkpoint not far in front of the hummer.
The checkpoint had a lift bar set up in the middle of the dirt road, and there were six UBCS wearing AAES stationed here.
When the UBCS confirmed that it was William Russell in the car, they immediately saluted and let them pass.
The hummer continued to drive forward along the dirt road in the dense forest, and soon the field of vision gradually opened up, and at the end of the road was a cave entrance.
The mountain walls on both sides of the entrance were hollowed out, and one could vaguely guess that they were built-in bunkers.
As for exactly how many hidden defensive weapons and personnel are configured, it depends on whether anyone dares to come and try.
The hummer drove into the cave and continued to drive inward according to the indicator lights.
The road in the cave was no longer a dirt road, but a smooth asphalt and concrete road, and there was a red and white Umbrella logo every hundred meters.
This is the Delphi Base.
To prevent detection by U.S. spy satellites, the facilities outside the cave were extremely simple; observing from the air, apart from the forest, there was still only forest.
And in order to deceive people, William Russell first went to the space technology department to inspect, and then let the convoy composed of Alpha return to Halifax at a constant speed.
While Hank and another elite Alpha carried the bio-armor to protect William Russell as he secretly arrived at the Delphi Base.
This was not William Russell making a fuss, but because this Base contained 'things' capable of changing the World's landscape, so he had to be cautious and more cautious.
...
Several minutes later;
The view from the hummer suddenly opened up.
It could be seen that the entire mountain had been hollowed out, and giant lighting equipment made the inside of the cave as bright as day.
There were five external frame buildings arranged in sequence, covered with green safety nets.
Inside, there were blinding flashes of welding, and one could not tell how many workers from the Engineering Team were building inside.
Most importantly...
Each 'building' was six hundred meters long, two hundred meters wide, and two hundred meters high.
From this, it can be concluded that the Delphi Base is definitely the largest of all facilities, without one.
Fortunately, William Russell's luck was good enough to draw the Engineering Team dedicated to Umbrella, otherwise, Delphi would not have been completed even after decades.
The hummer drove for another few minutes and finally arrived in front of an elevator.
William Russell and the others got off the car and took the elevator to the facility built at the top of the cave.
The style inside the facility was very similar to the Hive, with patrolling UBCS in the corridors, as well as Technicians wearing white coats.
——————
...
Delphi Base, inside Halsey's office;
This was the most prominent position of the top facility, and the floor and walls had been replaced by Halsey with sheets of giant bulletproof glass.
Standing here, one could overlook the entire Base 360 degrees without blind spots, and it could also provide her with the best inspiration.
But this scenery was extremely unfriendly to people with acrophobia.
"Da da~"
Halsey was sitting behind the computer desk, her face serious and cold, busy typing on the keyboard with her slender fingers.
"Swish—"
"Hmm?"
The sound of the automatic door opening attracted Halsey's attention.
When she saw that the visitor was William Russell, her expression changed from the previous coldness and instantly turned into that of a little girl, preparing to launch an 'attack'.
The scene cuts to William Russell.
He pressed the button to open the door and instructed the two Alpha beside him: "Hank, you two just wait for me outside."
"Yes, Boss." (x2)
"Mm." William Russell nodded slightly and walked into Halsey's room.
Just as he took a few steps forward, his heart almost jumped out, white stars floated in his eyes, and he felt the World spinning.
"Boss~!"
Halsey hurriedly got up to hug her heartless boss.
But...
"Thump—!"
Before William Russell could be ravaged by Halsey, he rolled his eyes, faced down, and fell straight onto the glass floor.
That's right, William Russell was a patient with mild acrophobia.
However...
Encountering a 'suspended' situation as soon as the door opened, anyone would be unable to bear it.
