The Only Player in Infinite Terror

The sound of an engine running could be heard.

Black Captain Matthew, along with his soldiers, steadily approached in four M2 infantry fighting vehicles.

Upon seeing the red and white protective umbrella markings on the infantry fighting vehicle from afar, Chris and the others immediately tensed up.

Ling Qi smiled and reassured everyone, "Don't worry, we're all on the same side."

After they met, they briefly introduced themselves to each other.

Although Chris and the others still had doubts, they ultimately decided to believe Ling Qi's story for the time being and return to the city with him to help Ling Qi seize control of the Umbrella Corporation branch in Raccoon City.

This is the benefit of a highly charismatic character model paired with a righteous and benevolent persona.

Even Alice, the movie's female lead who had a slightly unpleasant experience before, developed at least some trust and goodwill towards Ling Qi and the others after learning all about it from conversations with Chris and the other game protagonists.

After getting all the main characters on board, Ling Qi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the main characters' combat power seems weak compared to the reincarnators.

However, if the reincarnators dare to kill the protagonist, their outsider identity will be immediately discovered by the berserk world consciousness, which will then relentlessly target and hunt them down.

The benefits of bringing the main characters into the same camp are also obvious: they can bask in the protagonist's halo and receive the protection of "divine will" from the unseen world.

Moreover, there's no need to worry about the main characters causing trouble.

For Ling Qi, this would save his upcoming plans from many unexpected setbacks.

For those who reincarnate, what is the most valuable gain from each mission? (No prize)

The answer is the mission world itself.

Each mission world has its own unique features, such as the T-virus, black water, aliens, extraordinary legacies, and so on.

However, even without these special products, the land and population in the normal world alone constitute a huge fortune.

Even if only a small portion of it can be developed and utilized, the reincarnators can still obtain enormous benefits.

Take the Resident Evil world, for example. As a modern world, it had billions of highly educated people before the biohazard virus spread and infected the globe.

With such a massive population, the Central Continent Team could easily turn the entire world into its logistical base through cooperation or by supporting agents.

Whether it's popularizing various cultivation techniques to absorb the wisdom of all living beings, or cultivating various rare and precious materials, the Central Continent Team can make a fortune.

Of course, Chu Xuan would definitely be indispensable in such a grand farming plan.

Ling Qi brought his teammates from the Central Continent Team back this time mainly to lay a solid foundation.

After all, to develop this world, the first priority is to stop the T-virus from spreading and infecting the entire world, and to save as many people as possible who would otherwise be infected and turned into zombies.

Otherwise, if the people are all gone, there's nothing left to develop.

"Furthermore, if this merged world's T-virus inherits the characteristics of the movie version's T-virus, then even the ecological environment will be completely destroyed," Ling Qi thought silently. "Therefore, I must protect my Earth."

As they traveled by car, they exchanged the intelligence they had gathered.

Along the way, there was a minor incident: dozens of zombie dogs, attracted by the sound of the armored vehicle, attacked the group from the woods on both sides of the road.

If an ordinary person were surrounded by so many zombie dogs in the woods, they would probably only have one option: to commit suicide.

But against four infantry fighting vehicles, they were nothing more than ants trying to shake a tree.

"Frost, may you rest in peace. We have avenged you."

After the last zombie dog was crushed into a meat patty by the M2 infantry fighting vehicle weighing over twenty tons, Jill clasped her hands together, closed her eyes, and prayed.

"No offense intended, Miss Jill. Are you praying for your fallen teammate?"

To build trust, Ling Qi, who was alone in the car with Chris and the others, struck up a conversation.

After Jill finished praying, she opened her beautiful eyes: "Yes, Frost was the member of our squad responsible for vehicle maintenance. He was the first to be attacked and killed by these zombie dogs last night."

"I'm sorry, I brought up your sad story again." Ling Qi smiled apologetically.

"It's alright, I swore an oath that I would avenge my fallen teammates," Jill said, shaking her head.

"Speaking of which, how about we form an organization? We could call it the Justice League, or the Avengers—to avenge those innocent people who died tragically?" Ling Qi suggested with interest.

Jill rolled her eyes dramatically. "Do you think I haven't read comics? Aren't you afraid of being sued by DC and Marvel for royalties with a name like that?"

Ling Qi laughed heartily: "Perhaps they won't sue me, and might even be grateful to me?"

Amidst laughter and conversation, the convoy arrived at a gas station on the outskirts of the city, intending to refuel.

The mottled bloodstains on the ground foreshadowed that this gas station was not a safe place.

"Ouch! Shit!" A curse and a muffled groan came from the small supermarket attached to the gas station.

After getting off the bus, Ling Qi signaled the others to stand guard outside, and then pushed open the supermarket door and went inside by himself.

Behind the shelves, a policeman with a large chunk of flesh bitten off his neck was slumped against the wall in front of a small door leading to the warehouse.

After struggling to open his eyes and seeing Ling Qi, he warned in a very weak voice, "Hey kid, get out of here, there are mentally ill thugs inside."

In fact, Ling Qi had already used his telekinesis to "see" the situation inside the warehouse, where another policeman was pinning a zombie against the wall.

Ling Qi's expression was strange; this scene reminded him of the opening sequence of the game "Resident Evil 2: Remake".

The same gas station convenience store, the same two police officers with bento boxes and zombies, all that's missing is a handsome guy with parted hair and a super strong female college student.

However, this part of the story takes place on a rainy night in the game, which is now around 8 or 9 in the morning.

Ling Qi used his telekinesis to check the scene outside the gas station again, and sure enough, a jeep and a sedan drove into the gas station one after the other.

Out of consideration for the policeman's kind reminder, Ling Qi took out an antibody and prepared to save him.

Unfortunately, before Ling Qi could make any move, the bitten policeman was completely infected by the T-virus and instantly mutated into a rotting zombie.

Ling Qi shook his head helplessly, took out the Soul-Soothing Shot and shot the poor man in the head, letting him rest in peace.

Then, on a whim, he blasted the zombie that was being held back through the wall into the head, and incidentally shielded the unfortunate policeman who was supposed to be killed by the protagonist, Leon, from the splattering blood and brains.

Without saying much, Ling Qi waved his hand, and the police officers in the warehouse, who were confused about what had happened, were carried out by him using telekinesis.

At the same time, bursts of gunfire could be heard outside.
