The Only Player in Infinite Terror

The group walked along the platform and soon arrived at a steel gate marked with red and white umbrellas.

At that moment, a beautiful woman in a long red dress suddenly asked the black captain, Matthew Addison, "I want to know who you are? And what exactly happened here?"

The black captain turned to look at her, then glanced at Ling Qi and the other reincarnators from the Central Continent Team. While waving his hand to signal his mercenaries to take out tools from their backpacks and open the door, he replied, "We, including you and those others, are all employees of the Umbrella Corporation."

"This door leads to the underground 'Hive' laboratory, and you, including those others, are all security personnel registered in the company's files, which is why we brought you along."

Ling Qi was naturally well aware of the beautiful woman's identity. She was Alice, the female protagonist of the Resident Evil film series, and a clone of Alicia Marcus, the daughter of Dr. Marcus, one of the founders of Umbrella Corporation.

At the same time, she is also Umbrella Corporation's most successful creation, the only T-virus perfect evolver in the movie, and will even awaken telekinesis later on.

Ling Qi, who was very familiar with the game's storyline, knew very well that if no one intervened in the dialogue, the members of the Central Continent Team would be in a very passive position.

Therefore, he stepped forward from the crowd without hesitation: "Soldiers, I am Yuan Zhisheng, deputy director of the Special Projects Audit and Emergency Response Department of the company headquarters."

"I now declare that, in accordance with Article 3 of the company's Emergency Management Regulations, you must now obey my commands."

As the saying goes, when you're out in the world, you give yourself your own identity.

Seeing Ling Qi's arrogant attitude, the mercenaries looked at each other, and the black captain Matthew looked very embarrassed.

Logically speaking, you can't believe something that's just empty talk.

The sense of entitlement and arrogance that Ke Lingqi is currently displaying is just too much to bear.

As the company's necessities and supplies, the company's senior management had always treated them this way, to the point that they didn't even dare to question Ling Qi's words for a while.

As for the so-called company emergency management regulations...

Perhaps, probably, there really is such a thing?

They dared not question it, fearing they would offend this "director".

But it doesn't seem appropriate to just believe it like that.

Matthew Addison, being a Black man, became the captain not only because of his fighting skills but also because of his understanding of human relationships.

After struggling for a moment, Captain Matthew respectfully and indirectly asked, "Director Yuan, the mission instructions my men and I received didn't mention any emergency. Could you please give us a brief overview of the details?"

Ling Qi glanced at Matthew and snorted coldly, "Consider yourselves lucky. My communicator was destroyed during the fight with the traitor, otherwise you wouldn't have had this opportunity to make a contribution."

"There's a traitor in the company. The traitorous group stole the company's top secret, T, and manipulated the Red Queen to release nerve gas in order to silence her."

"What's T?" Matthew asked, puzzled.

"Logically speaking, employees at your level shouldn't have the right to know such confidential information," Ling Qi said calmly.

"But we'll see when we go down, so there's no need to hide it from you."

"T is a virus that can enable human evolution and also bring the dead back to life."

"The dead have come back to life?!" The mercenaries exclaimed in disbelief upon hearing this.

"Indeed, it can bring the dead back to life," Ling Qi continued leisurely. "However, the current T is not in its complete form. Although it can revive the dead, the revived dead are merely undead, lacking intelligence and extremely aggressive, treating any living thing they see as food."

"Furthermore, people infected with the T-virus have a very high probability of turning into these undead beings known as zombies."

"Unfortunately, there are plenty of monsters like that down there."

Ling Qi's words sounded outrageous, but Matthew was somewhat convinced; a liar wouldn't fabricate such an absurd lie.

Moreover, since Ling Qi said there are zombies and other monsters that come back to life down there, then as long as everyone goes down there, they can verify whether Ling Qi is lying or not.

Just then, several mercenaries opened the elevator doors, but unfortunately the elevator was already damaged.

So they reported to Matthew, "Captain, the elevator has fallen. Looks like we'll have to take the stairs."

After a brief moment of thought, Matthew neither confirmed nor denied his belief. He simply showed Ling Qi a little more respect and asked, "Director Yuan, shall we hurry down and get going?"

Ling Qi remained noncommittal and took the lead, heading towards the pitch-black, spiraling staircase that seemed to lead to hell.

Matthew's expression was grave. He turned around and ordered everyone, "Follow us. We must reach the hive within ten minutes."

The stairs were long, but the mercenaries' physical fitness far surpassed that of ordinary people who lacked exercise, and they handled the entire journey with ease.

After walking for a while, Ling Qi realized that his physical condition was just as weak as in reality, and he was panting heavily after only a few steps.

Matthew, who had observed the whole process, became even more convinced. After all, what leader isn't in good physical condition?

Just as he was hesitating whether he should go up and help this "Director Yuan", everyone saw a scene that left them dumbfounded - Ling Qi floated up.

Zhang Jie exclaimed in shock, "My God, come see God!"

Looking at the incredulous faces of the crowd, Ling Qi said proudly, "Just as I said, T is a key to unlock the door to evolution."

Zhan Lan, who was already physically weak and exhausted, was initially shocked, but quickly grabbed Ling Qi's hand and said pitifully, "Boss, I suddenly remembered, I'm your assistant, could you help me down the stairs?"

Feeling his arms sink into two soft mounds, Ling Qi, considering that this old friend had played with him countless times during the previous closed beta, calmly nodded and said, "Okay, you can play with me."

With the aid of telekinesis, even with an extra burden, Ling Qi was still the first to reach the bottom.

One by one, the mercenaries and reincarnators also reached the bottom, but the old lady was nowhere to be seen among the reincarnators.

Ling Qi wasn't surprised; if he got too far away from the black captain and fell behind, he would be eliminated by the main god.

Anyway, this old lady doesn't have much potential, so killing her will free up a valuable teammate spot.

As if to confirm Ling Qi's idea, an explosion came from above the stairs, startling Zheng Zha, Zhan Lan, and the other two new reincarnators.

Strangely, despite the loud explosion, the mercenaries and characters like Alice seemed deaf, making no reaction to the sound and not even realizing that one person was missing from the team.

It was as if that old lady had never existed.

Zheng Zha and Zhan Lan were both terrified, but Ling Qi was already used to it. The main god always eliminated things in this way, not only materially, but also at the level of causal information.
