By the beginning of next year, Umbrella will become a company that "serves" all mankind.
As William said: "Our business is life itself."
This is what the outside world knows.
But for the employees of Umbrella, they know another sentence: "We contain, we control, we protect, we are the first line of defence for mankind, and we will never retreat."
The reason why people can enjoy a stable life is because someone else is dying for them.
Since the Athabasca Town incident, the number of employees who signed a non-disclosure agreement and died is as follows;
C-level security personnel who are placed in charge of holding centres around the world: 27 people.
B-level expatriate agents responsible for finding/detecting/capturing anomalies: 221 people.
And of course, the D-class personnel who made Umbrella's biotechnology advancement who of which are indispensable: +20,000....
If it were not for the selfless contribution of this group of people, then human society would have fallen into collapse long ago.

"Huhhh....…"
William looked at the shade of the trees outside the window and couldn't help sighing.
It was the fearlessness of the expatriate agents that guaranteed the timely arrival of the UBCS, otherwise even certain Safe containment items can cause large-scale casualties.
The containment level was not just about lethality, but also represents the difficulty of retrieving the contents.
Like the Wendigo.
This invisible evil spirit could not be contained at all, but after understanding their weakness, the dispatched agents alone are enough to deal with it, so they were classified as Euclid.
But what makes William the most strange is SCP-049.
The plague doctor gets along well with the lieutenants of Containment Center One, and the relationship was very much a more harmonious one then that of those researchers for the original SCP foundation.
Even the vast majority of the containment items had been assisted-analysed and researched by SCP-049 which helps the containment centre better control and manage them. SCP-049 is even stated to be very happy about this job.
William has watched many fan videos on YouTube in his original world.
SCP-049 could be described as killing ghosts when seeing ghosts, killing gods when meeting gods.
Let alone the mobile task force of the SCP Foundation.
In contrast, after the UBCS lieutenants took over Containment Center No. 1, SCP-049 did not once even show any intent to resist at all, and the lavender tranquilliser had not even been used yet.
Or, maybe it has to do with SCP-049 talking to Halsey when she has the time?
After all, the only person who does talk to SCP-049 happily is her.
Hmmm....
Since William almost kissed Halsey that time, the relationship between the two has become a little bit more delicate.
Fortunately, after Halsey helped to deal with the Xbox, she went back to Base Delphi, ready to put the construction of the aerospace carrier into schedule.
William has also become busy with company expansion, so he has no time to worry about personal relationships.
Otherwise, he might not be able to fall asleep while sitting.

"Boss, we are arriving now."
Hearing Hank's reminder, William stopped thinking and replied quietly: "Ah, I see."
William then looked to his side again.
Through the car window, he could see a barrier not too far from the front of the Hummer.
This was a checkpoint, it had a lifting pole that was erected in the middle of the dirt road, and six UBCS wearing AAES were stationed here.
When UBCS confirmed that William was in the car, they saluted and let the hummer past.
The Hummer continued to drive along the dirt road in the dense forest, and soon the view gradually became wider, and at the end of the road was the entrance to the cave.
The mountain walls on both sides of the entrance were hollowed out, and it could be vaguely guessed that this was a built-in bunker.
How many hidden defensive weapons and staffing were available then but had been hidden, let's see if anyone would dare to mess around and find out.
The Hummer entered the cave and continued to drive inside following an indicator light along the walls.
The road in the cave is no longer a dirt road, but a smooth asphalt concrete road, and every 100 meters there is a red and white umbrella logo.
This is the Defil base.
In order to prevent detection by US spy satellites, the facilities outside the cave are extremely rudimentary. If it was ever observed from the air there is nothing but trees in these woods.
In order to cover up this trip from outsiders's eyes and ears, William first went to his space science and technology department for an inspection, and then had his Alpha convoy return to the direction of Hafa at a slow uniform speed.
Meanwhile Hank and another elite Alpha carrying biochemical armour went to protect William as he secretly went to the DeFeil base.
This is not a fuss made by William, but that there are 'things' in this base that can change the pattern of the world. So he must be cautious and then even more cautious.
___________________
A few minutes later;
The Hummer's vision suddenly opened up.
William can see that the whole mountain was hollowed out, and the huge lighting equipment was on the roof that made the cave become illuminated as if daylight was seeping in.
There are five outer structures arranged in sequence and covered with a green safety net.
There were many dazzling light that appeared as if someone was still welding them there. William truly didn't know how many engineering team workers had been involved in doing construction inside.
The main thing was...Each "building" was six hundred meters long, two hundred meters wide, and two hundred meters high.
From this, it can be concluded that the DeFeil base is definitely the largest of all facilities, and there is no one who knows.
Fortunately, William was lucky enough to be gain the Umbrella's dedicated engineering team from his system, otherwise DeFel would not be able to be completed the project even in decades.
The Hummer drove for a few more minutes, and finally came to the front of a lift.
William and others got out of the car and took the elevator to the facility built on the top of the cave.
The style of the facility is very similar to the honeycomb. There are UBCS on patrol in the corridor, as well as technicians in white coats wandering inside Base Defil, And in the office that had been designed by Halsey;
This is the most protruding position of the top facility, and the floor and walls have been replaced by pieces of huge bulletproof glass under Halsey's order.
Standing there someone overlook the entire base three hundred and sixty degrees without any blind spots, and it can also provide them with the best inspiration.
But the scenery here is extremely unfriendly to people with acrophobia.
*DaDa~*
Halsey was sitting behind the computer desk, her face serious and cold, as she was busy tapping the keyboard with her slender fingers.
*Swish——*
"Huh?"
The sound of automatic doors opening attracted Halsey's attention.
When she saw that the visitor was William, her face changed from the coldness before, and instantly she changed her mood to one alike a little girl, ready to launch an affectionate 'attack'.
____________
From Williams point of view.
He pressed the button to open the door, while he told the two Alphas beside him: "Hank, you two can just wait for me outside."
"Yes, boss." (x2)
"Hmm." William nodded lightly and walked into Halsey's room.
Just when he took a few steps inside, his heart almost pop out of his chest, as there were a lot of white stars floating in his eyes, and he felt that the sky was spinning.
"Boss~!"
Halsey had quickly gotten up from her desk to hug her unscrupulous boss.
But…
*Thump!*
Before he could be ravaged by Halsey, William's eyes rolled back as his face dropped, and he fell straight on to the glass floor.
This was because William is mild acrophobia.
This wasn't something that normally effected him but...
As soon as he opened the door, William encountered the situation of "hanging in the air".
