Unfortunately, they picked a suburb patrolled by The Dead.

Some of them have patches resembling Hyper-Umbrella Corporation, but some have a distinctively different look. It appears the building becomes lost or ruined at some points due to heavy construction and loud noises emitting from the building, some say the sound is coming from underground, as it shakes the ground when they restart the machinery.
