Hive utility tunnel

The utility corridor is a fictional location featured in the Resident Evil multimedia franchise. It was seen in the 2002 film, Resident Evil, and played a pivotal role in one of the action sequences.

The utility corridor was located in the deepest levels of a top-secret underground scientific research facility known as the Hive. It served as the conduit for all of the base's, gas electrical and water needs. It provided access to the train platform in Loading Bay B as well as the various elevator lift shafts to take staff members to the laboratory facilities.

Alice, Matt Addison, Rain Ocampo, Spence Parks and Chad Kaplan tried escaping through the utility tunnel, but the lower levels were swarming with zombies. They climbed atop some pipes that were suspended from the ceiling, but the combined weight of the group was too much and the pipes began to collapse. Kaplan fell behind and was bitten by a zombie. He urged the group to continue on without him, citing that he would never be able to keep up. As Alice and the others crawled away through a shaft, Chad remained behind ready to meet his fate. At the last moment however, he decided that he wanted to live, and pushed his way into a ventilation shaft, shouting at the clawing zombies that they would "have to work for their meal".
